1t is somebody's oft quoted remark thu
one half the world knows not how the otha
half lives. And it is both true and fortunate
especially In our great cities. In the rura
alssfcts Lie Is more transparent. In the bnst
19E city street, and amid the crowded homes
| = men within its limits, there Is more sctna1
Eecns1on, higher and more opaque barrier,
Do1Vad1ng the several classes, mora -so1,tnda
! more d1taa1ness to the dreary, than rock q,
LED or wilderness eGer knew.
and this We say is also fortunate TIM that
soou1 1he homes where youth and innocence
afe sheltered, and the paths they tread, from
laese lew windows look out, and few Dor
1a's open upon that lower life, where rule or
NOT, Misfortune and Crime, and Vice and
"fetchednese, possessing and poisoning man
hood and womanhood, and al that ia noh1a IN
their natures. 1t ID well that Law has erecte6
and protects the fold, and Love has warmly
nned 1t that within may be sheltered those
springs whence society derives Its eleyatinp
and beautiying influences, within which Is
preserved Home and the train Of all the yir.
