few months before' and had not forgotten the pain-
ful impressions made by a scene. exhibiting, per-
haps, the very utmost limits of misery and guilt.
They now saw what, witheut exaggeration, may
be called a transformation. Riot, licentiousness,
and filth, exchanged for order. sobriety. and com-
parative neatness in the chamber, the apparel, and'

It is true, mid the Ladies' C 'dee are anxione
that it should not be concealed. that some of the
rules have been occasionally broke'. Spirits. they
fear, have inure than once been introduced; end it
was discovered ut one period. when many of the
Ladies were absent, that card playing bad been

acknowledge these deviations, they have been of a
