discovered at the door of n farm house a

mother.

The Social Evil in New York.

In the city OF New York the number OF
those women who, with a lauentable truth,
are styled "upand0ned," can not be less
than ten thousand in 1865, the number
of prolessed prostitutes, by actual census,
was 1850; they must be moro numerous
now, and their roll is constantly increRs-
ing Already they equal the population
of two average rural townships. If they
were placed in a line, two abreast. they
would form a procession two and a half
miles long that would reach from the Bat

In addition to the ten thousand prost-

more who are either "kept mstresses" or

SCATTER SEED.

by aBoRoE COOPER.
In tho burrows Of thy life,
Scatter seed
Small may be thy splrit.held,
But goodly crop twill yield:
Sow the kindly word and deed,
Scatter seed
Sun and shower aid thee now,
Scatter seed
Who can tell where grain may growI
Winds are blowing to and fro,
Daily good thy simple creed,
Scatter seed
Upl the morning lles away,
Scatter seed
Hand Of thine must never tire,
Heart must keep It's pure desire;
While thy brothers faint and bleed,
Scatter seed
Though thy work should seem to fail,
Scatter seed
Some may fall on stony ground;
Flower and bladcare often found
In the clefts we little heed.
Scatter seed
Sprlng.timo ,lways dawns for thee
Scatterssed
Ope thy spirits golden store,
Stretch thy hrrows moro aud more,
God will gin to theo thy need.

threats did promises by these very same mean
white men who are always trying to stir up

him "a little work, they pay him off in fine
promises about what the convention and tfe
Radical party is going to do for him. I have
