Social Vice in New York.

A New York correspondent of the SPRING
field HepubiicaH writes
| lately had an interview with one OF
our ablcst New York surgeons, who has
a.large family practice among our besr
class Of people, aud | was astonishod to
hear The bad account he gaye OF the ply
siral aud mopal condition of the latter.
lie is no alarmist, but man disposed to
took on The bright side of things ye,
his statements are far from consong in
respect to the incrense of wealth and
luxury among our people, and the social
wees they have stimulated if not pro-
duced. Any one who has been through
ii Z extensive district from Fourteenth
street TO the Central Park, between
Fourth aud Sixth avenues, must have
been struck with the vast numbers o.
elegant private houses, whose appear
ance shows how mHch money is needed
TO supply them, and iniimates what large
incomes the owners must possess.
Among the occupants of these houses,
whose incomes range from $4,000 mp
ward, the love of ease and luxury has
greatly Increased of late, and with the
latter certain SOCIAL vices have been cul-
tivatcd. The worst of the vices is in
temperance, which, SINCE the war, has
increased to a lrighttu eXlent. Every
where my medical informant said he
met With proofs of the extent to which
the use ot stimullnts is carried. He
was of the opinion that pinety-tve
oql Qf one hundred men drank either
moderately aF 10 excess, while among
women the habit is becoming common.
This is confirmed by Others aud have
repeated accounts of the extent 10 " hich
alchoholic stimplants are used by the sex
under the ggisp of medicine. My in
formant says he is constant y called in
To treat diseases resulting from tremens,
apopleXy, Brighl's disease, ETC. The
prevale6Ge oi ABORTION among the upper
classes is another sign of the times. 1t
is practiced everywhere, except among
ilqHan Catholics, AS the church threatens
all persons who allow il with the pains
Of purgalory. There seems to he o uni
versal opinion said my informant, that
under certain time, to commit abortion
is not wrong, and physicians are con.
staD'y urged 70 afford relief The
cause of ihe vide exlent OF this evil is a
Discrimination to have the trouble OF
bearing and raising children, and the
only remedy for il is tor the clergy or
other author-agents to deRopnce lts i'm
morality. This the Protestant clergy
has MT as yet done, but their squeamish-
ness mist be overcome, or We shall never
succeed in stopping this growing sin.
Medical opinion is clear and unanimous
iB asserting that abortion and murder
are one and the same thing, and shere-
tore the clergy should not hesitate to do
their duty,

Advice to Young Men,

A lady who signs herself ''Martyr to

suggestion to young men: Dear zen.
tlemen, between the ages Of eighteen
and iorty-tve, listen to few words OF
graluitous remarks. When you make a
social call Of M evening, Oh young
lady, 60 away at reasonable hour. Say
you come at o'clock, and an hour and
a half is certainly as long as the most
fascinating OF you in conversation can,
OF rather ought to use his charms. Two
hours, indeed, can be very pleasantly
spent with music, chess, Or other games
to lend variety but, kind sirs, by no
means stay lopger. Make shorter calls
and come oflcper, A girl, that is a sen.
sible, true-hearted girl, will enjoy il
better, aud really value your acquaintance

on the edge of her chair, in mortal
terror lest papa should put his threat

The Highest.


A magic boat, / saw afloat
On the stormy sea Of Life.
With pure bright brow, child Mt the PROV
Steered through the raging strife.
And mid the storm, that chernb form
Sang clearly, ceasing never;
bright Hope will sail through the fiercest
gale
On the sea Of Life forever"
The boat sped on; the day was gone,
Dark clouds that child surrounded,
Yet like star it shone afar
AS IL ever onward bounded,
And higher grown, its altered tone
Sang firmly, faltering never:
Faith steers Alright, thro' the blackest night
On the sea of Life forever"
Through perils dark, that magic bark
To lis heavenly haven bounded;
And the child tull.grown, like I'm angel
shOnp,
Its brow with crown surrounded.
And high it sung, with seraph tongue,
Its music ceasing never;
"Love shining bright is the highest light
On the Sea of Life forever"

Gently, when Adam was in a rather

stay all night.
Certainly" said Adam, eyeing III,
rather serdy-looking stranger "li yot

"But I have no money" said the man
u am dead broke, but if you will trust
me -"
"Ah." said Mr.. Bcpler, 81 don't like

but dat won't help me run dis house"
SWELL" SAID the stranger, after a
pause, 'have YOU got any rats here -
"Yes," replied Adam, 'you'd better
believe We have. Why, the place is
lousy NIT dem."
"WelI," rcjoined the map, "rIl tel
you what l'l do. If you let me hav,

''Done," said Bepler, who had long

breakfast next morning, Mr.. Bcpler took
occasion III very gentle manner 10 re-

previous night.
"What! Kill your rats! Gers ;sinly,"
said the melancholy stranger. Nv here
are they the ihlck"si -
"Der are putty dick in dc barn-yard,' -
answered Adam.
swell, let's go out there" said the
stranger. But stop! Have you got a

a piece about fifteen feet long was
brpnght to the stranger, who exa'ninyd

Expressing himself enlirclyi satisfied, at

proceeded TO the barn, accompanied 10y
Mr.. Brpler aud quite a number Of idlers

Ar. wing there, the stranger looked
around ii little, then placed his bach

"NOw," said he to Adam, "I'm ready.
Fetch on your rats"
How this scene terminated we are no,
precisely informed. IL is said that al
though no rats answered the appeal of
the stranger, Mr.. Bepler began to smell
one pretty strongly at this juuc,ure, and
became very angry. One thing is GER
