D UF The TIMES NEW PVKr l. THURSDAY MORNING JUNE 1851

Two Of the persons who we're ar
rested on Thursday last at the United
States Ho,el, have plead guilty 10 the
charge ofreuy larceny and will receive
sentence on Tuesday next. We are
happy to learn that arrangements are
being made TO return one OF the lads,
against whom no complaint has been
entered to his mother in Albany. This
is Kind and judicious measure. The
child, for he is but child, was eatice1
from his home, in his fathers absence.
iortn CHI since, and hut for this timely
arrest would have been soon fitted Tor
the dark and miserable career on which
he had entered. .........
II is TO be hoped that once more with
in the influence of maternal affection the
balef lessons that have been recently
taught him will he forgotten, and that
he may live TO ill with joy the heart
that has since his sdden and myste-
rious disappearance been wrung with
anguish. We know of but lew offences
more aggravated than that OF introdu-
cling children, comparatively innocent
end wholly inexperienced into the abom-
Unable mysteries OF rife and rotten
crime. There is something appalling
in the depravity that can stoop TO this
and when the social wrong of abductng
children is superaddcd, the crime is
fcariully augmented. On the other hand
We know of but few duties more CRATE
ful, than that of attempting TO extricate
those who have been partially caught
in ''the snare of the fowler" This work
pays well.
In Iaboring TO reclaim old offenders
we have not only a comparatively hope
less task, but il successful, success, Gf-
icrs no restitution for the injuries that
such offenders have already inflicted on
society. In preserving a child from
the influence of evil example we not

who secure the largest number Of such
trophies of intelligent philanthropy and
pIous zeal. To this point at the ex-
pcnse of almost all others should our
municipal regulations the discipline Of
our prisons; the mental training in our
schools the voice OF the press the in
Hucnce of our fresides and the instruc-
lions Of the Sanctuary tend, for it will
remain forever true, "Train up child

l. WING FOR OrHERs The greatest Of
all practical mistakes is the attempt to
secure happin SIS by seeking our own
interest exclusively, instead of living
for the advantage and well being oforh-
crs. II we were to set about giving the
most perfect and inialible recipe for the
production of the greatest amount OF
unbcala6lc wrctchcdncss, we should
certainly say, Live {; r self exclusively,
suprcmely, and you cannot fail to be
miserable, whatever your outward cir
cumslanccs may be high or low, rich
or poor. The idea Of living through II
series OF years, says the "Boelon Regis
, ter" without thinking of any thing be-
yond ones personal pleasure and profit,
lis not to be endured. 1t is narrow and
low and bad enough at lie outset but
our general purposes in llc react on
the character. One who starts in life
with taking little interest except in what
in some way promotes his own wishes
or advantage, will probably as he grows
older, grow more selfish his generous
sympaIhies will dry up from disuse !;
while the natural product of sefishness
the jealous and distrus'ful passions.
freliul, complaining. misanthropc te n
per, will spring up into vigorous growth
The man ceases to believe in the vir
tues Of other men and in the midst of
the world dooms himself to n solitary
and wretchcd lot; willie he who endeav-
ors to max, himself useful to others, is
by that effort confirming all generous
sentiments. The world grows bright
er as he grows older. He lives loving
and loved, and life goes down in old age.

Mr.. Dorr would not take the office, if il
