Naw York Morals

"You are quit right, sir, quite right; we here
in New York ARE badly governed" said a gem
teel looking young man to country merchant
with whom he was conversing in the reading
room of hotel the other day. mo wonder, sir,
(he continued) that you gentlemen from the in
interior, should be surprised and speak with sur
prise on the subject. But how think YOU mus.
we feel, who have to pay the burden of govern
mentl Look at orr police system.-"Tis rotten
sir-rotten to the core. Big thieves II our big
Offices, and steal largely, but in q respectable
way. These are bad enough; but one of the
greatest griefs is the abundance of small thieves
and pickpockets who ply their profession with
almost perfect impunity. They are scarcely
ever arrested; and if so unfortunate as to be so,
they can always find it easy TO escape and eyade
the law in some way. Why, sir, you have no
idea of the number Of professional thieves in this
city. I venture to say, land ! speak knowing
ly,) that they can lie numbered by thousands
They are shrewd fellows, and il takes a shrewd
eye to recognize them.-Many Of them dress IN
the height Of fashion, wear heavy gold claims
attached to their costly watches, hcreLe speaker
took hold of heavy gold chain and examined
his costly wateh.) and look and have the air of
gentlemen. Why, sir, you might actually speak
with one, exchange courtesies with him, and
not know it. All, sir, Ills really more surpris-
ing to one that's not posted, but more surprising
than all that the citizens do not rise indignant
" and insist OH reform, by ousting from office
the thieves that fill them, and disbaudng po-
lice who are in league with thieves and pick
pockets, instead OF performing the duties for
which they are so we'll paid. Something must
be done, or, if not, we viii lose our trade.
Country merchants will forsake US, from very
fear. Why sir, its but yesterday that a mer-
chant from the West robbed of q large sum
of money, while sitting quietly in his hotel, ana
was compelled to borrow funds from friend to
pay his way home-'Tis really awful, sir; and
assure you that l, as well as all good citizens,
regret the existence of such a state of things.

AN FETCHING FROM LIFE


You have little daughter-one you love-
one who is your all in all-thc life and sunlight

She falls sick. The fever tints her cheek
with an unnatural bloom. the light fades from
her eye, her lips grow pale and parched and
over your heart gradually comes the sad conYic-
ton that she is-dying.
O, the sad blightng OF future hopes and pros
poets Oh the sorrow OF lifetime concentra-
ted in that one moment its too much, and
you groan aloud in ycur agony.
What dying No; she Is dead gone
cold and ifelcss. Her sunny head is softly pill
lowed meath the cothn-id, her starry eyes are
closed, her voice forever hushed, and her little
hands are folded in peace
You follow her TO the gravc-you hear the
burial service-you return home.
Home oh no. it Seemeth not so now; for its
life and light is gone. Night comes, YOU retire
but where is the little head that was nightly pill
lowed on your bosom2 Gone! buried in the
cold, cold ground
Days, weeks, and months pass by. Your
loneliness and sadness gradually fade away
but not with the memory OF your little one.
IT'S cherished stil-a sunny spot in life's path
