A DARK Picture Of Lie.

Poverty in Rome, it is said, was the
spouse Of Content, and the mother of
Love; how that may have been we
know not, but this we do know, that
poverty, as we have seen it in New
York, is welded to Despair, and its
offspring is Vengeance. Itis a shape
that sickens the very heart with dis
gust, and chills the very blood with
horror. Do you think this strong
language? Do. you intimate that you
have been here a score Of years, and
have never been disguised or horriied
by anything Of the sort? Doyou say
that you have never spied it from your
window, or met it in the street! Talk
not of this, doubter, till you have
sought outfits real habitation, and you
yourself have crossed its Threshold
Its to be seen in its zeal aspect at
home and no where else; and if you
have not looked for it there, your
doubts are fooIishness. $40 3 aa
We sat down for the purpose Of de-
failing some Of our own personal OBJ
servations Of household wretchedness
in the Fourth and Sixth Wards Of our
ccity--but our taste, revolts and our
pen shrinks from the narration. We
could tell Of one room twelve feet by,
twelve, in which were five resident
families, comprising twenty persons Of
both sexes and all ages, with only two
beds, without partition or screen, or
chair or table, and all dependent for
their support upon the sale Of chips
CLEANED from the streets at four cents
a basket-of another, still smaller and
still more destitute, inhabited by a
man, a woman, two girls and aiboy,
who were supported by permitting the
room to be used as a rendezvous by
the abandoned women Of the street,
The Ohio organ, of the temperance reform. (Cincinnati, [Ohio]) 1853-1854, 1853-11-04


Of another, an attic room seven feet
by five, containing scarcely an article
Of furniture but a bed, on which lay
a fine looking man in raging fever,
without medicine, drink, or suitable
food, bis toil-worn wife engaged in
cleaning the dirt from the floor, and
his little child asleep on a bundle of
rags in the corner-of another of the
same dimensions, in which we found,
seated on low boxes around candle
placed on keg, a woman and her
oldest daughter, 1.-THE latter a girl Of
fifteen, and, as we were told, pros
titute, sewing on shirts, for the ma
king Of which they were paid four
cents apiece, and even at that price,
out Of which they had to support two
small children, they could not get a
supply Of work--of another, of about
the same size, occupied by a streetrag
picker and his family, the income Of
whose industry was about eight dol.
lars month-of another, scarcely
larger, into which we were drawn BY
the terrific screams Of a drunken man
beating his wife. containing no article
of furniture whateyer-of another,
warmed only by a tin pail Of lighted
charcoal, placed in the center Of the
room, over which bent blind man
endeavoring to warm himself; around
him thTee q foaf men and women
! quaFfeling; in one corner Of the floor,
a woman who had died the day before
Of disease, and in another two or
three children sleeping on a pile Of
rags; lin regard to this room, we may
say that its occupants were colored
people, and from them but few days
previous had been taken and adopted
by one Of our benevolent citizens, a
beautiful little white girl, four or FIVE
years of age, whose father was dead,
and whose mother was at BlackwelPs
Island--of another, from which, not
long since, twenty persons sick with
fever, were taken to the hospital, and
every individual Of them died.
Butwhy extend this catalogue? Or,
why attempt to convey to the imagi-
nation by words, the hideous squalor
and the deadly effiuvia, the dim un-
drained courts oozing with pollution,
the dark narrow stairways decayed
with age, reeking with filth, overrun
with vermin; the rotted floors, cell
ings, begrimmed crumbling, oft-times
too low to permit you to stand upright,
and windowsstuffed with rags; orwhy
try to portray the gaunt shivering
forms, and wild ghastly faces in these
black and beetling abodes, wherein
from cellar to garret
All life dies, death lives, and nature breeds
Perverse, all monstrOus, all prOdigiouS thngS,
Abomlbable, unutterable. ag 1g+|iNE D

Profane Language.

The use Of profane language is
shockingly prevalent. We know Of
no vice that is so common among men
not professors Of religions from the
man Ofhigh social position, to the fre-
quenter of the lowest grogshOp, swear
ing is a common vice. Boys learn it
almost as early in life as they learn
their letters, and notwithstanding all
the moral influence that at this mo-
ment pervades society, it seems as
though this vice was steadily on the
increase. lyg ha .ioaH teg
The criminality Of the practice,
apart, is it not strange that men will
presist in the use Of SO unnecessary and
SO foolish a habit! 1t is almost uni
versally condemned as vulgar and un-
gentlemanly, even by those who in
dulge in it. But--except in the pres
ence of ladies--men who pride them
selves on their refinement, hesitate
not, without provocation, and in the
presence of those to whom they know
it is offensive, to mouth "'the huge
round oath" with as much complacen-
cy as though it were indicative Of high
breeding and manly superiority. b
Religious parents, however, are not
generally aware Of the extent to which
the practice Is carried, unless they ira
vel. For where q man il known to
be a professor Of religion, his swear
ing acquaintance are apt to restrain
themselves in his presence. Occa-
sionally, tobe sure, he will meet with
those who respect neither God nor
man, and who take pleasure in their
shame even before the religious. But
a good man will avoid persons Of this
description, and choose for his associ-.
ates such as have not given themselves
over to so vile a habit,
But the man who occasionally ira
vels, will be better prepared to form
an estimate on this subject. You
enter car or steamboat. You see
person before you who has every ap-
pearance Of "a scholar and gentle-
man." Something occurs which leads
you into conversation. AT first you
are greatly pleased. You find intelli-
gence, evidence of education, and
general bearing which savors Of gen.
tiIity. You are delighted with the
conversation, and flatter yourself that
the tedious travel before you viii be
relieved by agreeable social enjoy
ment. Suddenly you are chilled by a
horrid imprecation-then another
and another, until you are speechless
with antonishment at the reckless and
cool deliberation with which the man
utters his common oaths. You have
no heart to resume the conversation,
and at the first opportunity you
change seats, and leave your swearing
acquaintance to pleasant reflections
upon the favorable impressions he
thinks he has made upon his strange
friend. .a e e
On reaching the wharf or landing
there is q general rush for baggage
or to secure an early egress to ssFrs
frmG. In the crowd you are jostled
against some manly strangtr who has
attracted your attention perhaps al
day long, you have been struck by his
gentlemanly appearance, I and You
fancy you read in his features The
