at recent meeting, have resolved to secede
from the establishment, and so connect
themselves with the Episcopal Church of

HUMAN MISERY in NEW YoRK-A few

HUMAN MIsERYIN New YoRK.-A few
nights since, says The editor of the Brother
Jonathan,as We were passing through street
in our neighborhood, an occupant of one of
the dwellings asked us if we wanted to see
a sight; and following him up upon the
second floor of the building, he struck ligh',
by which we saw what, at first, appeared
to be great pile Of rags, but on looking
little closer we discovered heap Of human
beings in layers, like snakes, or rats in
hole. 1t was cold, drizzly night, and these
homeless people had piled themselves to-
ge.her for The sake Of mutual warmth and
comfort. We could not help thinking that
the under layer must have had hard time
of it, while the top one rather suffered for
lack ofcovering. They seemed to be chief
ly boys, and never troubled themselves to
ask what we wanted, as the light gIared up
on their faces. With so many fine houses
in New York, SO many churches, SO many
Bible societies and missionaries, i, strikes
us that such sight as we witnessed ought
to be an impossibiily in this great, wealthy,
prosperous and elegant city of ours.
