| IscRYAs, OF YoUInTUL MBspIcASrs.-Withln
th, past three months there seems TO have been an
increase in the number of little boys and girls soliciting
slms in the public streets at hotels. and st private
| dwellings. One can scarcely enter hotel "a the
great tbopush hfare of Broadway without encounterng
two or three Of these juvenile mendicsnts, whose I'M
portunes for assistance of the most perseycrng
nature. At one step you are hailed by ragged and
barefooted boy whs requests you 10 give him penny
for loaf Of bread and at the next instant filthy
clad GIRL Of nine ten years of age, will catch mold
Of the skirt Of your coat and insist upon your giving
her cent before she viii leave you. Not only IS this
nuisance becoming int0lerable at the places We have
mentioned, but these unfortunate children cross your
path at the different theaters and other places OF
amusement; they even oiter around the doors a' ths
tine Of opening in the evening and many of them re-
main there I'll late at night.
II is said that the parents Of these children are gen
orally idle, dissipsed persons, who actually compel
their offspring pursue the detestable Efe of beegI
tha, they may drink up the proceeds obtained from
charitable people No doubt thi. is true The resut
of such example naturally pernicous, and the boys
Of such parents grow up to be thieves and the gins
ultimately become prostitutes. Their education IS un-
| needed. and Of course they are not taught by then
parents the value Of virtue honesty, and industry
Although there is law on the statutebOok authozns
the arest of all street beggars yet our citizens care
very little about interesting themselves in oehaa On
