ferred 8 complaint against his daughier Mary.
 a very pretty girlnot quite nineteen years Of
 age, who had voluntarily abandoned the home
 Ofber youth, and taken refuge in one of the
 most infamous brotheIs in the city. It ap- pears from the story of the afflicted parent. that in. the month Of August last, Mary rlop. ed clandestinely from home, and at the same time fsloniOusly took SEA 50 in money from the desk of her father; and despite of the. persevering and anxious efforts made to find her, if was not until Thursday last, that her - haunt was ascertained by him to he No. 2, Thames-s:. where she passed by the name of FreeIOve Pierce: In consequence Ofher faith. CTS affidavit, warrant was issued against her, and last evening, officers King andiT T. M. Pumpkins arrested and brought her before the sitting magistrate, who committed her to prison for further examination. This after noon the father, mother and brother of the reckless girl, appeared at the office, and Mary was brought into their presence. She an. peared decked out in at the gaudy traDpines Of harlotry, aud met the fearful eyes of her relatives with conntenance as unrnoved and relentless as brass. The three, by kind per
 suasion and aEectionate entreaty coniored
 her. in the name of all things dear to yirtuous affection and decency, to abandon the derra
 ding aud soul-destroying life to which she had prostituted herself, and return to their still open arms and forgising hearts-and the pas, should all be forgotten. They even pledged themselves, that if she would but return to the path 0fvirtue, to remove her to, and sup port her in, a distant part of the country, or even in Europe, where the Knowledge of her degradation and shame would not follow her; hut all their kindness was spurned, and she treated with the most nnfeeling levity the mnA of l. RpNS
 magistrate Rnding her wholly irreclaimahle and past the hope of redemption, sentenced
 her to the Penitentiary for six months, which sentence she laughed at, and ayowed her de. termination, when that time had expired, to return tQ her former life of iafamy. ss ss New Fork Times.
 Apt Comparison.--ln a discourse delivered before the Benevolent Fraternity of Church es, recently by Dr. Charming, the following comparison is found =
 "When compare together different clas. ses as existing at this mnment in the civilized
 world, cannot think the difference between the rich and the poor in regard to mere phys lcat suffering, 80 great as is sometimes imag- med. That some of the indigent among us
 die of scanty food is undoubtedly true but
 vastly more in this immunity die from eat
 ing too much than from eating too little vast.
 " more from excess than staryation. So as
