With marble, and rich with gold
On the tables, in tender mosaic,

And in the vase before me
Were roses white and red;

Then forth from the lofty window

Where the stone pines stood around me-
With flowery shrubs between.
And 1 said, flake the costly splendor--
Take the wonderful triumphs OF ART
But give me living Nature,
Which speaks to my soul and hear'

But Gods are wherever the sun goes up,
Or the shades of night come down.

But religion is sent to each humole SOUL
With its word for age and youth.

The peculiar characteristics of city, or
town, are in no way more strlkingly NUS
trated, than in the tabteau rirants, tnronSr
ing its thoroughiares. The majority OF
beings borne upon the swift current Oh
human life, rarely take time to mirror them
selves, or note the parts taken by their
contemporaries, who go Jostling 10y. upon
their individual liie-misslons. 1t Is an
open book, however, and those VINO run
may read. Its lessons are interesting and
not devoid of moral. -.
There is one remarkable feature distn-
gushing Southern city at first glance, and
that is the group of oilers, or unemployed
individuals of all ages, sizes, and colorss,
blocking up street corners, vigorously hold
ing up lamp posts, and ornamcntlng tlie
cutters, clearly to kill time to the best oil
their lounging abilities. Boys, white ana
black, tawney and yellow, are let loose
upon the streets as soon as the grey Dawn
breaks. subsiding not till into the deep
hours Of night; the regular employees OF
satan, who, are not content with oaths ana
obsccnitics poured into the ears OF every
passer-by, and echoed through street and
alley. but parade the same IN chalk and
pencil upon the fences and gate-posts.
In looking from may open window one
morning, / saw a white boy, not over eight
wears of age, pompously putting cigar,
alternately each Whit with shout to his
comrade to join him on fresh promenade.
Have these children any parents ? Ii they
simply "growed'' like Topsy, the RESPONSE
bilitv of their future career has no tangabie
stronghold but if they have abiding places,
hallowcd by the name of home, somebody
is ssowing to the wind'' to reap stupen-
dous whirlwind in their declining years.
There should be employment for the
mature. Schools, or houses of reform
should take in these juvenile prococitles in
sin. and asylums of refuge gather in the in
durable or inveterate vagabond. Pitliul
pictures are these, prophesying future rum
and crime. in the face and eyes of a conf
munity able to suppress and avert it.
Yesterday, in coming along Second street,
below Broad, in front of a low, dlngy
building. three little national flags were fly

was a sign which read rather ludlcrously OF

doors. the only avenues of light for the
schooi-room, the pupils were seen ranged
unon boxes and various articles of trumpe'

Around and above them doomed huge piles
of time-worn volumes, that had the appear
