SUSAN AND EDWARD;

OR,

A VISIT

TO

FULTON MARKET.

With what high joy

do children young Behold the

varied sight—

In New-York, there are a number of Market Houses Those called Fulton and Washington Markets are the largest Fulton Market is at the East end of Fulton-street, near the East River, and the Washington Market is on the West end, near the North River The first was formerly situated

in Maiden-lane, on the East

River side, and was called Fly Market The latter was also in Maiden-lane, near Broadway, and went by the name of Bear Market These are the two principal markets The next in size is Catherine Market, in Catherine-street, East River There is also, Franklin Market,

in Old Slip; Centre Market, in Grand, near Orange-street; Clinton Market, North River, foot of Canal-street; Essex Market, Essex-street; Grand-

street Market, at the Williamsburgh Ferry; and the Tomkins Market, at the junction

of the Third Avenue and the Bowery.

New-York, 1831

houses are two, some three, and others even four and five stories high, so that a skilful boy, with a good crossbow, could scarcely shoot an arrow over them Pearl-street, in which they lived, is almost as

crooked as the letter S, for it

begins at the Battery, near Broadway, and ends in Broadway, opposite the Hospital.

Susan was the eldest; a

modest child, not forward or bold in her manners; very fond

of play, and sometimes idle; but (to her praise be it said) she was obedient to her parents.

Edward was younger; a pert, active little boy; full of talk, and very lively and engaging in his actions; sometimes very observing, and would ask quite sensible questions for a lad of five years old.

One pleasant morning in

Autumn, Susan and Edward asked liberty to go with their mother to Fulton Market Having been put in neat trim, with joyful hearts they set off, each with a small basket, to carry home some light articles, which their mother might buy Away they went through Franklin Square, down Pearl- street to Peck-slip, then turning into Water-street, they came to Fulton-street, at the foot of which stands the market.

See here they are all going towards the market.

Fulton Market is a large building, filling up a whole square, and is erected near the

East River, opposite the town of Brooklyn, and close to the ferry that crosses over to that thriving village.

Now the first object that caught the sight of the children, were the Butchers' Stalls, hung full of beef, pork, veal, mutton, all for sale for ready pay to whoever will step up to buy The little visiters saw the men and boys busy whetting their long knives, and cutting and

sawing up the meat in suitable pieces for the buyers The noise was something like a company

of mowers whetting their scythes, and their voices and motion might be compared to a hive of bees.

Their mother having got of the butcher, her supply of meat, they next visited the fish stalls.

—"O mother! mother!" said the lively little boy, "see the fish all jumping alive O look there!

there!" Sure enough, here were fish, just out of the river, where the fishermen keep them in wooden cars or boxes, under water, till wanted to be put on the stall See here is a picture of

a Salmon.

The children took a walk

around, to see the different kinds of fish, displayed on the stalls Here were to be seen the Sea-Bass, Black-fish, the Sheep's-Head, the Pike, the Flounder, and a number of others, so many that it would fill

a good part of this little book, just to print the pictures of them all But we will give them one; this is the Flounder.

Then passing along they came to the Oyster and Clam

stands "Mother, I do want one

oyster," said little modest Susan "Only look what a big

pile Mother, may I have a clam?" said the boy The men would quickly wait on them, by giving each what they asked for

as a taste, and then add fifty or

a hundred more to fill the tin kettle, for the family's supply.

We will now print a picture of

an Oyster opened.

A large curious animal laid under one of the stalls The children's attention was drawn

to it "Do see, mother, what is that!" "It is a Turtle," replied their mother So they went and looked at it near by It laid on

its back to prevent its crawling away The fisherman was kind enough to let the young visiters look at it till they were tired— and then away they went to another part of the market But

we will first show them a picture of a Turtle: see there he

is on the next page, almost big enough to frighten any body.

These turtles are esteemed a great delicacy People bring them all the way from the West

Indies, and sell them for a high price to the keepers of the hotels, who make soup of them; the signs may be seen hanging

at the doors, in large capital letters; "TURTLE SOUP AT ELEVEN O'CLOCK, THIS DAY—FAMILIES

SUPPLIED."

After this they went to another part of the building called the Country Market Here they were delighted with what they saw; and a great

many sights there were for such little prattlers "O see, here is a Rabbit with a white tail! see, see, Susan—do come this way." But Susan had her fine blue eyes also engaged in viewing a cage of Pigeons, some of which had their tails spread like a fan They saw also

a great many baskets of Peaches, Apples, Potatoes, and Pumpkins, Watermelons, Cantaleupes, pile upon pile, enough to make one ask,

'Where are all these to go? Who will buy them?' But we must remember, that there are more than 200,000 mouths to eat three or four times a day in New-York, enough to make way with the loads of vegetables that are brought here every day for sale.

There was a Peacock in one

of the coops, with a long

handsome tail This was a great sight for these young visiters The feathers were beautiful and

of many colors; but he did not spread his tail before so many people; besides he had not a suitable place; for they, being a proud bird, like to be where the sun shines, and where they can strut about, with their tail spread, when they make a most striking show.

In short, here were sights

enough to keep them looking half the day, if their mother could have spared the time There were coops of chickens, ducks, geese, turkeys, guinea hens, bantas, and even quails alive! We have not room to add pictures of all these: but we will one See here is a gobble turkey, who looks as if he was ready to fly at any body dressed

in red.

So they spent some time very pleasantly at the market,

and did not seem hardly willing

to come home, when their mother had finished supplying all her wants But at her call, like good obedient children, they turned their faces homeward, and, hand in hand, went up Fulton-street to Pearl- street, then up through Franklin Square, having their little baskets filled with apples and peaches When they arrived at their home, with what delight and animation did they tell

about what they had seen! and long will they remember the morning walk with their mother

to Fulton Market.
