SEDUCTION AND ITS CoNsEQUENCEs.-
In true picture of New Orleans, the lights
and shadows of life must be represented il
their brightest and darkest hues. We have
much of what is exalted, admirable, and praise
worthy, and much of what is humiliating, de
grading, and pitiful and there is no place where
the dark and bright are SO united and harmon
lied as in our Recorders Courts. Love an(
friendship, tender pure, and unutterabie, arr
seen in the character of mother sister, or wife
while cruelty, vindictive and malignant, is too
often presented in the acts of a brother, daugh
ter, husband, or son. A mother appears to re
claim daughter from vice, or to beg mercy 70
an erring son sister supports, encourages
hopes for a brother stepped in crime and
wife, with evidences of violence on her face
prays forgiveness for the sins of husband to
wards her. case came before Recorde
Caldwell, of New Orleans, on the I'd instant
which exhibited p0rtraiture OF some Of thes
characters. Anold lady, Of respectable appear
ance, appeared with woman young and hand
some, whom she called her neice. She sai
that she had labored for this neice and acquire
property in Lafayette, which was to becom
hers, but that she left her house about tw
months ago, and had since lived in a common
brothel. The girl had been seduced from tn
home Of her aunt by one of those fiends in tn
shape of women, who live by procuring the de
basement of the young and thoughtless of he
own sex. The old lady had discovered, yestel
day, the den where her runaway nelce wa
staying and had her brought before the Recol
der. She said that her sister-the sister of tn
young woman-resided in St. Louis, and sh
wished to send her there The Recorder spok
for some time to the young woman, reproviD
and advising her, and finally told her that b
would commit her TO the work-hOuse if she di
not follow the direction of her aunt and gu
the miserable life she had commenced. TIL
old lady and her erring neice then left the coul
room together, with the intention on the pal
of the former to send her companion out Of th
city.
