An Incident of Horse Car Travel.

On the whole, pleasant traits of char
acter are not common In the cars. This
opinion l expressed to my friend Sum-
mers the other day. In reply to my re-
marks he related little adventure,
which, as it is apfopos, and moreover in
wolves little love and sentiment, l
give it without apology, and i'll his own
words. 1t appears that in most unlikely
places love and sentiment may be dis
covered:

up near her, there being no vacant seat.
After a few minutes, came in a poor wo-
man, who deposited basket OF clothes
oh the front platform and held in her
arms a small child, while little girl
hung to her dress. She looked tired and
weary, but there was no vacant seat; to
be sure, Charlotte might have contracted
her tlounces, but she did not. Beside
her, however, sat a very lovely and ele-

"Only a Girl"

Seventy-fve years ago pauper girl

dred criminals in our prisons and peni-
tentiaries have descended from this
wretched waif, preyiug on society in every
possible way, As an illustrat on of this
fearful record, in one single generation of
this unhappy line, there were twenty
children; Of these, three died in infancy
and seventeen survived TO maturity; of
the seventeen, nine served in toe State
prisons for high crimes, an aggregate
te N of fifty years, while the other were
frequently inmates of jails, and peniten,
tiaries, and alms-houses
Statistics show that iliterate perso ms
produce thirty times as many paupels,
and ten times as many criminals, as the

grow up in ignorance and vice becomes a

C osses the tack Of. their greed or lust.
The peIil of modern society is at its bot
tom, not at lis top.
Society can protect itself against its
worst foes only by enforcing education on
all Chi dren alike.
The vice aud ignorance of the lower
classes are constantly revensing themselves
for the selfish neglect Of the wealthy and
