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

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.
