city trains and nuriures tho poor aud The foolish Our
descriptions are realities being bascd our obserya
tons OF a night lat week given 10 the purpose.
rortion Of the night we have the excellent assistance Of
trusty police officer, who knows the most hidden aud
dangerous dens Of intamy
Ina little time We are in barrow streets, in chronic
war against purity and beauty These streets imme-
diaely connect with Sprucest toward the East River,
in which direction are turning, going directly from
TIE TRIBUNE Office. Now are quite in the
dark in a shrunken court. The club or stietto
could play part here and no questions would
lie asked for neither light nor watch are at hand.
All we have arrived at IN impossible place Five mill
ions are spent annually on the City Administration,
but nevertheless here We stick fast in greasy COM
post about two feet deep It is simply the dirt Of the
street which lies undisturej from the FIRST of January
to the thirtieth of December. Out of this maggOtty
muck comes a stencil that would not discredt the fam
iIy-vaut Of the House of Hapsburgs. having got
out Of the misamatic muss we proceed on our way.
We have arrived in Waterst Here are the
cumulated types Of the churchyard in the nose
piercing putrdities Of the generous gutter AMI the
undulatng side and carrage-way But voices reach
our ear. Il is the waiting OF mother her son
She is a apparently about forty but under the
CHASTITY light of the beiogged lamps, she looks older
Sorrow has dyed her hair gray and cut the channels OF
despair in hercheeks g-oan comes from sort Of area
which belongs TO house in the last agones of diApi-
dation-seenng to stand up at the good viii of its
neiglbors for by sort of paradox it leans out on
both sides What is the matter, good woman
"Oh my poor boy-he's going to ruin, just Ike his
father; he's just fell down the arey and is too drunk
to get up" This was an oyerstatement, however The
lad who was of mans size aud rOWdy cut and fashion,
and about eighteen years of age, did manage after
several doublngs-up to rise and reward his mother
with Oaths sulphureous and acrid enough for Satan
during the nine days fall which Milton describes But
tlis Vas only his mother: who had nursed him her
breast-whO had loved him when he could not return
her love-who bad watched and prayed, and toilel,
and wept for him, and priced life ODy as it prom
ised joy to him, her offspring But her husband,
it seems, under the democratic truths Of this li5-
ertyshowerng community had, in legitimately car
giug out such an Interpretation of freedom, died
q drunken pauper, and was buried at the Citys
expense, when the boy was about four years oil 80
the woman hurriedy informed us as she assisted the
young ran out of the .wnish area into which be had
pitched. It's long way we've got to get home,
said she, so come along The length of the way
amt no odds-ts the breadth wOts the difficulty"
hiccuped the drunkard, and he went in spasmOdic
zg-zags from side to side, he soon landed in select
adermanic pile OF gutter oHal, whence, however he
was pulled by his mother, before he was stiled to
death At this instant shrill cry borne on the
still atmosphere of the night and hurried to
tie phase of life. Ii little too dark to recOg
Mise the person, but the yocasm of the performer
WAS SO cbsIeperOus, the character sustained, al
though it was rOz dPretdTcG Mill to us It's buddy
" lie, YOU haste, to say that max roth I'm the
paceabuest woman OF the house or the neghbOr-

Halls but originally from that neighborhOOd continued
in all the muscular s0gdto of indignant virtue rendered
plant evidently by muciagenous drinks strengthened
with something And so she shrieked the devils
chromatics and nameless words, which S&kspere
end Fielding, and SmOllet, could daguerreOtype
their humanity-pages wiIh--but now the amenities
o. literature cut us OF from describing low
life it is and so we speak eebly with al
most charac,eress words AMI things when we come to
paint vice.
Having lonled sea of iilth We now arrive ~ pre-
