hungry children from his purpose. driven
headlong into the other. Oh, could wiring
your heart with real and living pictures Of
such misery and destiiution as seem 10 be-
lie the noble destiny OF humanity and dis
prove the goodness of Omnipotence could
take you five minutes walk from the crowd
ed and brilliant throng in Broadway, TO the 5
dens Of crime and starvation, where man
seems a brute, woman iend, and child
hood-the season ofjoy and smiles---wretch-l
ed and bitter mockery without hope or heart.
The gorgeous rainbow, that spans the whirl-
ing torrent ofmetropolitan life rests its bases
on such dark depths ofmisery and crime as
it makes one shudder but to think OF. The
continual excitement of life in great city
the struggle of bafiied aspiranis after 500
cial distlnction--the utter heartlessness be-
gotten by the rivalres of an insensate money
aristoracy-create, as it were, determine. d

apoplexy and epilepsy of the social SYSTEM q
