Hard Times in New York City. Although the times are desperately hard, and very few business men arc able to make current expenses, the evil of extravagant living goes on pretty much as it did when nearly all men were prospering.

And it prevails most among people who, not many years ago, were barely able to procure the necessaries of life, there are hundreds of men here, living at the rate of $20,000 a year, who could not have gone bevond $2,000 a vear before 1 1 n(H so much to gratify their own taste as to please their fami lies that they have increased their household expenses in this way. Most of them would prefer living much more I plainly than they do, but their wives and daughters clamor for fine houses, costly wardrobes, expensive entertainments and all the et ceteras of fashionable life, and will not be refused. When trade was brisk and money plentiful it was not difficult to live up to the standard of Murray Hill, but during the past two years it has been decidedly otherwise, and many a resident of that neighborhood has been at his wits1 end day after da' to keep up appearances. In almost every instance either the savings of i)reviou- years have bad to be drawn upon or credit -tretched to its utmost limit. Not ery long ago one of the leading phy-icians of New York died suddenly, and when his affairs came to be closed up it was found tiiat he owed his butcher alone nearly 82,000.

1 heai almo-t daily of men supposed to tpiite rieli who are in debt to trade-men of every kind grocers, butcher-, bakers, milkmen, etc. and in all pro-bality many of those creditors will net jiet a dollar. Family extravagance i-unmiestionably one of the worst ei'-now afflicting society, and it is probably as hard to cure as any that could named. The average boarding-house kcepei of Cot ham is more likely to be an object of rude je-t than of bu1 i at the prc-ent time, she certainly de serves the latter. Landlords, as a rule, grant very little indulgence to boarding-house keepers, and tradesmen are all on their guard against them: so if iibuie does not come in to meet expenses tl are very likely to go to the wall.

Thi-summer has been an uncommonly hard time with mo-t of them, and probabh not one in Ji ft has been able to mak. both ends meet. Kent is not much lower than it wa when times were good, and tiii- mu-t be any ways. Tin principal difficulty for some nu nths pa-t has been to get prices that are at all proportionate, to the co-t of earning; on a hou-e. All persons livinirin board ing-hou-es, like all other persons, are cutting down expenses, or trying to d-so, ami with them, at lea-t.

the eo-t i food and lodging is the tir-t thing at tacked. Accommodations for man and wife, for which per week wiiM have been paid not long ago, are now sought for si'ii, and young men who paid ami SI- per week without grumbling now want the same room-and the board for or 'S. And so it goes ail along the line, from the lowest figures to the highe-t. Anothei difficulty i- to get boarders at all. Halt the houses in New York are half empt) and have been so for months.

In a knockino-about experience of fifteen years I have not seen New York hoard -ing-hou-e keepers any tiling like a-hard pres-ed as they have been since last winter. And unle-s ail the sign-change, the fall and winter now coming will not bring much help. Cor.
