GENTLEMEN: Firm as | imagined l stood in
the position which you assumed few days ago
in the Telegraph in regard to the influence of
dramatic associations upon the youth of q com
munity, l confess that | felt as if my pedals
were knocked from under me, on mingling in the
gay and seemingly happy throng assembl ed to
witness the performances of the Young Mems
Dramatic Association Of Georgetown-fathers
and mothers sisters and brothers, looking like
anything but converts to the morale Of our plat
form. fear that frequent indulgence in vsi is
there would cause me to exclaim with the jew !:
Thou almost persuadcst me-" &c. Though
not willing to yield the point, must reluctantly
acknowledge that the crowded and gratifed
audience on that evening bespeaks the unpopu-
larity of our position; but there is consolation
in the maxim-Ndgna est reritds e py@raleJd.

STARTLING DIscLosURE-We translate from
recent number of l. Eco d Italia the following
narrative: A short time since, in public de-
bate before the tribunal in Florence, singular
fact was disclosed A youth of honest parents
had met with serious losses at billiards Thus
exposed to temptation, he stole pearl neck
lace belonging to his aunt, who knowing not
the robber, and meaning not to harm her own
nephew, gave information to the authorities /;
but nothing could be discovered. The youth
after regaining his losses at billiards, redeemed
the necklace, which he had pawued, and con-
fessed his crime to priest, promising the resti-
tuition, and accepted the proposal Of the priest,
who offered to return for him the necklace to
its owner. At the CRATE of tho confessional,
they fixed the hour of the next day when the
youth should leave the necklace with the priest.
AT the appointed hour he went and gave the
pearls to the confcssor; but straightway from
the confessional he passed into the hands of the
gensdarmcs, who, invited by the priest had
awaited him there. lie has now to pass one
year in prison.

The FIRE AESIHILAToR. = The newspapers
generally regard this affair as a humbug, yet
there are very few Of them that have not been
humbugged into putting it in adyance--that is,
by copying, with approval and admiration, arti-
Giles that had previously been published in the
English papers. Many persons accuse editors
of wilfully uniting in conspiracies to deceive the
public in these matters; but it is not true. II
is the good nature, and not the cuPidity, OF
editors, that facilitates the deception They
overdo their legitimate business, and write up
private interests without profit to themselves.
The public would profit greatly by determine
tion on the part Of the press to demand a full

Tile mysteries Of Free MaSo,ny. is said
to be n reprint of Morgam's book, with additions
by George h. Crafts. If, as it processes, it
contains the whole of Free Masonry, it GER
tainly is very cheap at a quarter!
One popularity about Free Masons is, that
they--or ut least the prudent and understand
ing-neither affirm nor deny anything that is
said about them, and enter into no disputaton
on the subject. This, in our opinion, is the Sc
cret Of their vitality; and hence the difficulty
of the worlds being assured OF the truth Of
any pretended revelations on the subject Their
example and influence are their only arguments.
The Christian Society of Friends find strength
in the same policy.

A COLD LITTLE Boy !--'' In the chilly hour of
the morning" we were out to day as usual and
met on our walk little boy with bare feet an
old straw hat, and worn-out cotton clothes To
our question, Are you cold, my little fellow"
he chartered the reply of-'' Yes, a leetle!a but
hurried away, evidently ashamed Of his poverty
and mortified at being pitied This was not
censurable in him. it is no doubt the spirit
that will redeem and save him from degradation;
it givespromisc that thatpoor boy may yet attain
a condition of usefulness, responsibility and
honor in the world But why, in this city, is
he ragged and cold, and in his bare feet upon
the frosty streets? If he had no parents, it
would not be SO, for then he would be taken
care Of lie must have parents but why do
they not take care of him There can be no
reason but their unworthness. Poverty affords
no plea. They may themselves suffer through
the pride that would prevent their asking aims !;
but false, base, and mean must be that pride
that would prevent parents asking aims for
the sake of suffering child! The " Ragged
Man." who walks like the image of misery
through our streets, appears to rise in his very
restitution above want, and to enjoy happy
consciousness of pride that holds him above our
pity and away from our sympathy; but were
his eyes to rest upon his own child in like
condition, how his pride would be humbled and
how abjecty he would PROSTATE himself to sup
plicate for charity in lis behalf, Should he
not do so, the scorn and aversion of every good
man would rest upon him. And SO should it
ever be. An independent spirit is beautiful
and commendable; but it cannot survive the
neglect of those whom God has called upon US
to cherish and protect. Though surrounded by
wealth, he is far from independence whose child
has made fruitless call upon him for bread
for raiment, and for proper education. Such
call need never be made in vain in this city
No matter how poor, how friendless a parent
may be, if he be but true to his charge there
need be no restitution among the children of
his home. Here indeed may be truly repeated
the language Of the psalmist 81 have been
young, and now am old yet have not seen
the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging
bread p But he who possesses not this ex-
empton should beware, and not transmit to his
children the vices that have degraded him, nor
the misery il has entailed
