STREET BEGGING.

There is some stir now in Philadelphia and New
York, among the authorities, to put down street
begging, especially by children. 1t has long been
against the law, and of the instructions to the
police has been, to arrest every such offender But
arrests not made and the Streets hotels, stores
and dwellings are beset by legions of men, women
and children. who make pteous and importunate
appeals for charity. People of kindly sympathies
are apt to listen to such appeals only untibthey
become familiar with the cities, and 6nd, they
soon do, not only that they are against law, but
that they are universally regarded as being made
by persons altogether unworthy of relief There
charitable institutions in New York for every
class of sufferers. and those who are worthy know
full we'll where to 90 for assistance. They do 60
Their feelings are not outraged, but the relief
granted kindly, promptly and Systematically
whilst it is needed. The street beggars those
who know that they have real claim upon ehari-
ty, and that they cannot pass that ordeal of inqui
ry and examination to which all who ask relief Of
the charitable institutions are subjected.
We happen to know lady in New York who
has long been patron and Directress of one of
those charites-one for the reception and care of
little children, either orphans children of pa
rents who go out to work. A poor woman, for in
stance, has to 90 out to wash sew for day. She
cannot carry her little child with her, but she
takes it to this institution, where it is watched and
nursed or fed and returned to her at night. For
this charge of sixpence is made, not for profit,
but to prevent imposition. Or orphan children
are taken and reared without cost till they are old
enough to do something for their own support, re-
ceiving in the meantime good plain education.
Many mothers who carry their children there
themselves hired to take care of there own and
other children. The first ordeal to which they
subjected, on entering, is the bath cleanliness
being an indispensable rule. Sometimes that pro-
duces rebellion; people who have all their lives
lived in dirt being unwilling to be clean. But
when submitted to- the effect is manifest upon
body and mind.
The institution contains some hundreds of chill
dren, and numerous women to take care of them.
Its immense building is always full. 1t was be-
gun upon very small scale, by few ladies. It's
success made it other friends The State gave it
$4,000, and individuals have taken care that it
should never want. A lady of this place who
visited it was delighted with the air and comfort
and neatness and order which pervaded it. She
left it deeply impressed with the conviction that
there are generous hearts among the rich of that
city who do not forget that the poor they have
always with them, and who are ever ready with
time and means to minister to their wan:s.-Fdy.

CONTENTED JOHN.

One honest John Tomkins. hedger and ditcher,
Although he was poor, didn't want to be richer
For all such vain wishes to him were prevented
BY fortunate habit of being contented.
Though cold was the weather, or dear the food
John never was found in murmering mood;
For this he was constantly heard to declare
What he could not prevent, he would cheerfully
bear.
'For why should grumble and murmer," he said
If [ cannot get meat, [ can surely get bread;
And tho tretting may make my calamites deeper,
1t never can cause bread and cheese to be cheaper
If John was afflicted with sickness and pain,
He wished himself "better," but did not complain,
Nor lie down to fret in dospondence and sorrow,
But said, that he chopped to be better tomorrow
If any wronged him, or treated him ILL.,
Why, John good natured and sociable still;
For he said that ''revenging the injury done,
Would be making two rogues, when there need be
but one"
And this honest John, tho his station was humble
Passed through this sad world without even a
grumble.
And ! wish that some folks who are greater and
richer
Would copy John Tomkins, the hedgcr and ditcher.

A WESTERN DESPERADO.

One of those lawless men to be found frequently
in the far West, who set at defiance God, humanity
and law, was shot down in Louisiana last month.
The desperados name was Lebleu. A Louisiana
paper gives account of the assassination
A great criminal offender, Paulin c. Lebleu-
the cold booded murderer of Ewing and Parsons
the, cold hearted wife seducer and kidnapper-
the lawcss desperate of the parish of Calcaseur
who once dared and did force his own negro slave
to sit on the bench of the District Court Of that
parish during Court time, and In derlson Of the
presiding Judge-has at last met with that fate he
so richly deserved. AS to the particulars of his
death indebted to S. Belden, Esq, who has
just returned from the Court OF that parish: and
we here give them as communicated to us by that
gentleman:
On Monday, the 18th inst the District Court
commenced its reeu ar session at Lake Charles, the
seat Of Justice in the parish of Calcascu. Every
thing about town indicated that deep under-cur
rent was at work for some purpose unknown to
strangers; for the western wing of the Hotel dis
played in fine order and good keeping many double
barreled guns, pistols and bowie knives. Like i'm
plcments of warfare were also conspicuously vssi-
ble in the Court room Things remained in that
state until Wednesday morning, at which time
Paulin c. Lebleu, coming in from the country
rode up to the track of the hotel, descended from
his mule, and started towards the house, with
pair Of heavy dragoon pistols across his arm, be-
sides a repeater and bowie knife in his belt. He
had almost reached the steps Of the west wing Of
the hotel, when he was shot from the front of
the steps, four different times, by
named Eugene Foux and several others. who all
had been the victims Of the lust and other depravi
ties of Leblcu. Each discharge was deadly. His
right arm awfully manged; four buck shot
penetrated through his neck one through his right
breast, through the lower part of his abdomen.
and the balance-as he turned at the fre-took
effect in his shoulders and back 1t appears that
he received from thirty-fve to forty buck-shot
through the most vital portions Of his person.
Lebleu expired almost instantly. And thus
closed the life of one whose early career has been
stained with blood and ruin, all Of which could
have been prevented, If those intrusted with the
administration of justice in that parish had only
performed their duty tearlessly and regardless of
consequences. We are told that from his man
hood Lebleu pr;ded himself in the violation of the
laws of his country in the most outrageous manner,
and that none ever dared to arrest him for doing

SINGULAR INFATUATIoN.-The Philadelphia
Press mentions curious circumstance connected
with the loss of the Austria: The wife of Mr.
Gcrok of Baltimore, is now visiting her relatives
in Philadelphia; and while they have no doubt Of
his loss, she alone has deep conviction that he is
not dead; either that he not on board the Aus
tria (though he wrote to her that he had paid for
his passage) or if he was, that he must have been
among the few that were rescued But here is
something still more strange:
It may be within the knowledge of many Of our
readers that clergyman of this city was among
those who left for Europe the illated President
and was never again heard of. His wife, who
manned in Philadelphia, and deeply attached
to him, never did, because she never could, be-
lieve that he was lost to her. Eighteen years have
passed away, and yet that trusting lady--we can
not speak of her as aoife, and she rcpudates tho
name of midow-continues to expect his return.
Every day cover is placed for him at the table,
where still stands his accustomed chair Every
ring at the bell, informed, awakcns the
cherished conviction of her heart that the loved
one will return. -....I.H .aH

INVESTMENTS BY RoYALTY IN THE UNITED
STATEs.-The n Y. Herald states that the Queen
of Spain has agents here, who have command of
two millions Of dollars, to be invested in this
try. The same paper states that most of the
crowned heads Of Europe are doing an active bust
ness in the way Of investments in the United
States. Louis Philippe had large possessions in
our Republic, and Louis Napoleon has sent from
three to five millions here to be invested by his
agents 1t is said that the greatest operators in
this way are the petty princes of Germany, whose
investments in American securities amount, it is
believed, to fully fifty millions of dollars. The
powers and potentates Of Europe are giving some
what substantial proofs Of greater confidence in
the stability and order of American institutions
than of their own. . ....... ...
