Everything is changed since the war, for better or for worse; but you'll find people down here born grumblers, who see no change except the change for the worse. There was an old negro woman of this sort. A young New-Yorker said in her presence, "What a wonderful moon you have down here!" She sighed and said, "Ah, bless yo' heart, honey, you ought to seen dat moon befo' de waw!"
No, there is a godless grace, and snap, and style about a born and bred New-Yorker which mere clothing cannot effect. This morning, struck into the region of full goatees sometimes accompanied by a mustache, but only occasionally.
"You heard rightly," said Carroll. "Wall, I've got a pair that can't be beat. Kentucky bred, four-year-old, sound as a whip. Not an out." "Are you a trader?" "Yep. Hed them hosses in last week. New-Yorker jest sent for 'em, then he died sudden, and his heirs threw 'em on the market at a sacrifice." Carroll looked at the men, and they looked at him.
Both were lovers of association, and turned naturally to the past for materials: the New-Yorker found delightful sources of tradition or of ludicrous invention in the past of that city, where his family held a long-established and estimable footing; and the New-Englander, as we have seen, drew also through the channel of descent from the dark tarn of Puritan experience.

The Central Park, in New York, is already a Walhalla of famous men, and the statue that would first suggest itself as peculiarly fitting for the Park is of the New-Yorker who first made New York distinctively famous in literature the New-Yorker whose kindly genius first made American literature respected by the world.
To the New-Yorker of to-day, or, indeed, to any reputable and industrious immigrant, the notion of settling a family in Hester Street could not seem other than grotesque. It is now the filthy and swarming centre of a very low population. The Jewish pedlar par éminence lives there and thereabouts. Signs painted in the characters of his race, not of his accidental nationality, abound on every side.
New-Yorker, is it to be friends and a drink, or do you want a quarrel?" The deputies were very thirsty. The perspiration was streaming down French's forehead. They all looked at one another. Laura whispered in French's ear and he nodded. "We'll call it a drink," he decided. The hunted man turned around with a little gasp. Before him was the rude mountain bridge, and on the other side freedom.
The substance of the Californian's reply was that, through mere lack of knowledge of the country to which he belonged, the well-meaning New-Yorker had greatly underrated the future that awaited San Francisco that long before Macaulay's New-Zealander had transferred himself from the broken arches of London Bridge to those of Brooklyn, it would be the pride and boast of the denizens of those parts that New York had held its own so finely as still to be fairly called the San Francisco of the East!
Clarke is a New-Yorker, I believe." "I was born in Maryland, sir, but all my early life was spent in Brooklyn." Weissmann turned his telescopic eyes upon Clarke and studied him in silence somewhat as a pop-eyed crab might regard a clam. "So, so," he said, softly. "You are the one who is preparing to assault the scientific world the Clarke mentioned in the papers to-day?"
