BARBARIsMs IN New YoRK.-Ths New
York Leader furnishes the following inforna-
ton respecting the beggars who cit around
the streets holding babies in their laps to ex-
cite the pity and charity Of the passers. BY:
These children are kept by unworthy WON.
en-, and hired at SO many cents day. Some
of them are drugged, to make them lie still
and pale on the beggar's lap. Some are tor.
tured by pins, artfully disposed, SO as to con-
stantly iritate them and make them wall
Some are tied and bandaged with excrucist-
ing tightness, so as to cause them to gasp for
breath. All these cruel devices attract the
attention and contributions of the charitable.
Honest poverty does not sit on stoops and
beg Ia the streets. Real mothers do not hold
their babies in the face of the public all day
iong-whether it rain, or snow, or the sun.
beams come scorching down. Women wor-
thy of relief do not drug and torture their own
infants or any body's else. 1t Is evident then,
That those who contribute to these beegars
with babies not only throw their money away,
but actually foster vice and encourage GRIMM.
