A Subject for Thought.

One evening last week as we passed
alcng Chesnut street near 10 o'clock, our
attention was drawn 10 three Ii tie girls who
were about the door of one of the large
hotels, rudeIy addressing themselves to
pasoerb by, ostensibly for the purpose of
getting money. Their business seemed
to be that of begging, though their merry
and intrusive conduct indicated no suffer-
ing on lhei: part while it led 10 ominous
forebodings of the mode of life 10 which
they we're destined. We advised them to
GO home, and they sci off, but soon return.
ed, and continued lettering in the streets,
and at length took their seats on STEP
1t was within few minutes of ten o'clock,
and after watching them for some time,
and troubling ourselves not little about
the matter, we determined TO know some
thing of them, and if possible to nip in the
bud their career Of exposure and vice.
Selling one of them by the arm, we COM
PEELED her TO show US 10 her home, on
pain OF visit 10 the Mayor, in case of re-
fusaI. We were soon marching up Ches,
nut street, and were joined ere long by the
other two, who had fled a: first, in fright.
The oldest two of these children were
each 10 wears Of age, and the youngest
one eight! Two of them were slsters,-
They were quite intelligent and far from
the most degraded class of street beggars.
Their mothers, SO they said, had sent them
out 10 beg. The mother of the two sisters
was sick, and had two other children, still
Younger. Their fathers were dead, and
