From the Chicago Times.

Fiiial Ingratitude.-There are MANY forms Of
wickedness TO be met with in great cty--some
OF them so damning that feeling Of horror creeps
in our blood as we contemplate the moral base
ness Of the actors. Yet We know not when we
have heard OF darker sin, or one which could
brand the chief actor as monster more inhuman
than the Que We are about 10 record ii is crime
which should blast the heart that could conceive
II, and scar the brain that could execute, with
pangs OF more dreadful torment than any that can
be felt hereafter.
Some time ago German by the name of Pfifer
VINO was IN the old country priest, but in Ame-
RIGA has pursued another calling RENTED money
to his aged mother, which enabled her to remove
from the east, and come 10 live with her son in
Chicago. She had been but short time here
however, before difficulty arose between her
and the sons wife. 1t increased-came at length
to loud words, and the daughler-inlaw ordered
the mother from the house. Into the streets Of
strange city, without friend without even an ac-
quaintance, penniless and unable to labor, the
mother whose gray hairs told the SHOWS Of nearly
sixty winters, went forth--was driven forth bv
the wife of her own son. The son sought her
and brought her back TO his house, where for a
time she was permitted TO dwell in peace. But
the hend OF evil, which it would SEEM dwelt in
the bosom fthat, shame TO her SEX the daughter.
in-aw, could not be STILL She again quarrelled
with her mother-in-law, and again turned her out
of doors. n{f
Yesterday morning, as one of the watchmen in
ehC South part VI INC Ciy WIS returning rom his
beat, he accidentally came upon an object lying in
mudpuddle behind a pile of lumber. On exami-
nation, IT proved 10 be woman her clothes sat,I-
rated with water and mud. Nearly famished she
could not speak, and her weak limbs were unable
10 assist her in getting away from the miserable
spot. She was taken TO a house, where resiora-
tves were administered, and where she soon re-
covered sufficiently TO tell how she came TO be in
so sad condition. She had been wandering the
streets for eight days since her daughter-n-aw
scarcely tasted food, and had lodged wherever
been at times deranged of which periods she could
give no account.
About ten O'Clock Mrs Pffer left the honse, and
noon, when a Waterman was sent for by the resi-
man out Of the street. She was found lying in the
middle Of the street, totally helpless and taken TO
the watchhouse. There her story was again told
TO one OF her countrymen, and person was sent
TO search for her son. He was not found, and the
woman was sent TO the poorhouse.
There are circumstances in connection with
statement as strictly true. What can be the ma
stave and die, helpless old woman? Surely, il
she has ever known what is maternal love-
Surely, within her bosom beasts no woman's
heart, but calous receptacle only, where no hu-
man sympathy is, and whose finty faments can
never know 4st
How sharper than serpent's tooth it is,
To have thanlless child"
