LIFE INNEW YORK
How It May Run In a Deep Rut
In the Matter of Locality.
LAMENT OF A MAN WHO MOVED
The Homesickness That Came With'
Working Uptown After Twenty
Years of Routine Travel to and From
and In the Downtown District.
There are thousands and thousand?
of men In New York city whose busi
ness has been confined to oni district
for twenty years or more, whose dally
routine seldom fluctuates, yvlio art
punctual In traveling by a certain
train every day In the week, who reach
their offices, barring tie-ups, at a regu
lar hour and take up their dally grind
and hold to It until the hour of closing
Many of these men unconsciously get
to know and make friends of people
whose names they never learn. They
become attached to localities In a
strange sort of way and do not realize
how strong Is the attachment* Here
Is the story of one of them lnt$ whose
life there has come a change through
moving that startles and surprises
him and throws a quaint light upon
some or the city s people.
“In the twenty years that I was
downtown,” tho man said in telling his
experience, “I was in the hahlt, wenth
er permitting, of taking a walk aftet
the luncheon hour every day In some
street between City Ilall and the Bat
tery. 1 have footed every bit of un
built ground In that territory. What
marvelous changes have come in those
twenty years! How many signs on
buildings have changed In that tlm(e!
How many houses have been pulled
down! How many new ones have gohe
up, some of them towering skyward,
to take the places of the landmarks?
“I got to know the lower end of
town so well I could shut my eyes ana
make a mental picture of many of the
blocks and see the names on tho build
ings. If I wanted any article, from
shoelaces to anything elaborate, I knqw
exactly where to get them. If some
particular dish were desired I knew
where It could be served and just what
It would cost.
“A great city never stands still. It
Is as restless as the great deep. But
tho man who becomes a part of It
does not think until he gets away from
the part of it where he has done busi
ness what the changes are. When I
began my strolls there were no tun
nels under the two rivers. In the
years that have drifted awny great
bridges have been constructed be
tween Manhattan and Long Island.
It does not seem long since I used to
hear the restless puff of the coal fed
locomotives of the elevated system,
yet so gradually did the old order pass
that I do not distinctly recall when
the present system was Installed.
"The changes that . took place lu
business firms were Interesting. Many,
many times I have seen the name of
the man whp established a trade taken
down and that of his son or Sons take
Its place. So frequently were the
same people met In the same place
and at the same hour that we nodded
as we passed, although non© of us
knew the name of the nodder.
“Not long ago the business with
itfhleh I am connected made a jump
tiptown. Never until I took my traps
uptown had I any occasion to walk in
the street where our new building
Stands. The first day I went out to
luncheon I had to search for a res
taurant. It seemed odd. I saw peo
ple I never saw before. I read signs—
one of my fool habits—I never read
before. Many of the vehicles that
passed were quite unlike those I used
to see downtown.
“I had to change my hour and route
for coming to business. For awhile I
h«d to watch the street signs to know
where to get off. How I missed the
familiar call of the guard of the car—
for I always came down In the same
car In the makeup of the elevated
train—the one I always boarded at
the same hour.
“And that makes me think. I came
to know by their faces most of the
passengers who boarded that train at
ray station. I knew where most of
them got off. Now that I am In new
quarters In a new section I miss all
these people with whom I traveled for
years. Do they miss mo, I wonder?
“And the many whom I came to
know downtown—how they will be
missed! There Is the old street preach
er who used to stand on a soap box
nenr Wall street or on the stone steps
of the custom house and talk to people
in the summer days and again In the
days that betokened the coming of au
tumn. Then there were the Lenten
days when I spent a part of my hour
at Trinity or In old St Paul’s. I came
to know the regular attendants on
those services so that the strangers
became conspicuous. There are no
street preachers 1ft the new district to
which I have gone. I wonder why
the middle district at the great city
doesn’t need spiritual direction ns well
as the downtown districts.
“And so It seems sometimes that I
am In a new town, among new people,
seeing new buildings, reading new
signs, hearing new voices, but all In
the. some old New York. And when 1
think of the old walks X have taken
downtown, the old buildings that 1
passed so often that they became as
familiar as the faces I met and never
kae\v by name, of the strolls along
the two rivers, of the craft I saw so
often coming and going—when I think
of all these there comes over me that
sort of feeling that a boy has when he
misses his mother. I think It la called
homesickness.’’—New York Press.
