A THRyIr,xc ScExE.-A few years ago, /
was in company with gentleman who had
Just returned from the city Of L., in New
England. He said he put up at hotel, and
for q time took his seat at the bar-room.
The door opened suddenly, and female
stepped in. She seemed to hesitate at first,
but at length, gathering courage, she moved
up to the bar, and said; Landlord, don't
sell my poor husband any more rum. You
have already ruined ns You know that be-
fore he began to come to your bar. he was
sober man. He was as kind a husband as
any woman ever had. We had good
home, a good farm, and every comfort. But
you sold him liquor until he had no more
money to pay Unbeknown to me, You got
a mortgage on his farm; you seld it, and
turned me and my helpless children out OF
Doors NY husband lost his health, his char
acser. and his reputation. He became cross
and abusive to me, whom he once tenderly
loved. He turns me out OF our wretched
howell into the cold and the storm. He
comes home from your tavern Infatuated like
demon. NY once kind and amiable hus-
band and the tender father is a mailman
when he is in liquor. He beats me and my
children cruelty, and threatens to murder
us, Oh, don't give him any more hquor."
and the tears gushed from her eyes, while
the landlord stood speeches..
In the midst of these entreaties. which
should have broken heart Of adamant,
man stepped into the bar-room, and with
the vacant stare of an inebriate, moved to-
ward the bar, Instantly the pleading wife
threw herself between the man and the bar.
and, with one hand against his breast, and
the other stretched out imploringly TO the
landlord, she said: "Oh don't! my dear.
don't drink! You'll break my heart" and
bursting with agony, she turned TO the land
rord and said: ..Oh don't let him have It!
don't. don't.. and while this scene was
passing, heart-rending and awful beyond
the power Of description, the landlord walked
deliberately out from behind the counter.
and taking the woman rudely by the arm.
said. aThis is no place for women" and
violently tore her from her husband, and,
pushed her out, shu, the door against her
He then went behind the counter and pla- I
ced bottle Of liquor upon il. The wretch !.
ed inebriate staggered up and drank bis

counter, the landlord wiped il off compla- /
Gently into the drawer, and the drunkard
passed out, maddened with the draught, TO /
renew his brutal attacks upon his defenceless
wife and CHILDREN.

"lf il were true that there il no God

How came he to exist at all! Whatever was

there was no God, hoping thus to be secure
from future misery; for. admitting there is
no God, still nc may exist hereafter as

The London Times, in recent leader

in the great metropolis:

morning they must be At work-say at 6
o,clock-havinga quarter Of an hour allowed
for breaking their fast. The food served
out 10 them is scanty and miserable enough,
but still, in all probability, more than their
fevered system can digest. We do not

Of monotony in the occupation.
But when we have said that for certain

cooped up in sleeping pens, ten IN room'

mill, no doubt. but what awaits them on
the other side of the door! Starvation, II

prostitution and its consequences. They
would scarcely escape from slavery that
way. Surely this is very terrible state OF
things, and one which claims the anxious
consideration of the ladies of England, who
have pronounced themselves 50 loudly
against the horrors Of negro slavery in the
United States.

The Lower Strata il New York

There is in New York class known TO
the police by the ludicrous oognomen of
"gutter snipes' These are composed of
men from forty five years of age and upward,
misery in their disposition and extremely
filthy in their habits and garb. They are
very numerous, and ply their vocation both
in summer and winter.
Long before the light Of day breaks, those
strange beings are stirring about their busi-
ness. They may be seen, each with thin
cane in hand, walking through the principal
thoroughfares, along the sidewalk, scanning
with eager eyes the cutters, in hopes of find.

article of the least value is picked up anc
quickly pocketed Not unfrequently they
pick up rings, bracelets and other articles Of
lewelry of considerable value. These they
lay away, and only return to their rightful
owners when advertisements appear offering
handsome rewards.
They do not conhne themselves to search.

and creyice of the stoops and sidew AXIS
Their business is completed al seven o,
eight o'clock, when they return TO their
mean anb filthy abodes, and remain in quie
until next morning.
Plfering from sugar hogsheads, molasset
casks, coffee bags, etc, by a class Of youn:
rogues, and German women, has been look
ed upon by merchants hitherto as of small
account, although occasionally goods fal
short of exact weight. The children AM
women have pals and baskets which they
by degrees, fill with molasses and coffee
from one and another cask and bag until they
are well laden. They have lately become
