CRUELTY TO CHILDREN.
Henry Bergh, who has for so Ions
a time stood between brutal men ant
their brute victims, has organized a
society for the prevention OF cruelty
to children, and heaven knows there
was need enough for it! There are
thousands upon thousands OF chill
dren in the city whose drunken par
ents or grasping guardians treat then
more cruelty than they would brutes
AS for in Instance Nellie Boyle, whc
lived With her uncle, slept for two
years on the floor, without covering
of any kind, and was every day
kicked and beaten in the most inhu,
man The u%ncle's fayoritC
amusement vas to beat her with a
barrel hoop with the nails in. Jos
eph Petrez, an organ-grlnder, hired
a little girl of her mother for 81 pei
week, to sing and dance on the street.
He required her to bring him a fixed
sum Of money every night, in de.
fault of which she was beaten almost
to death. When rescued from the
grasp of the brute she was n mass
of bruises. One man made his step.
son walk up and down a room and
call every hour of the night, from
P. NJ. to 6 A. NJ, for five weeks. Dur.
ing this time the child was allowed
a slice of bread and a glass of water
each day. Once, after the starving
boy, in desperation, had helped him
self from the pantry, the beast man
acled him, and nailed him to the
floor in a knneeling position, with a
dish Of savory food just out Of his
reach, and kept him there eleven
hours.
But the worst case that has been
developed Is that of Henry a. Henk-
en-, a boy of sixteen, 10 Brooklyn.
His mother had been dead several
years, and a year ago his father died,
leaving him entirely alone in the
world with q fortune Of SAC, 600.
He fell into the hands of a woman
named Kate Cooney, who took him
to live with her, and trained him
Systematically to drunkenness. She
fed him with liquor constantly, and
kept him so completely under its in
nuence that be became almost idiotic,
transferring property all the time, as
fast as possible, from him TO herself.
When the poor boy was discovered
he was in a state of absolute help
~lessness. His mind was gone, and
his will as well, and he was a mere
instrument in the hands of the wom-
an. He was NJ once taken from the
harridan and placed in an asylum,
where it is hoped be may recover his
strength and reason
These few incidents-and there are
many thousands Of them-show how
wide q field for action Mr.. Bergh's
society has. Cupidity, drunkenness,
and the brutality engendered by vice
make terrible lives for many thou
sands of helpless ones. Bergh's new
society will be of more use than his
old.

The best Democracy oftbis city are
hoping for the defeat of the Democ-
racy in Ohio and Pennsylvania, for
they foresee trouble that will certain
" come upon the country in the
event of the success of the party 10
those States upon imitation platforms.
If Ohio and Pennsylvania go Demo
cratic this fall, nothing under heaven
can prevent the mex national Demo
cratic convention from making infia-
ton and reputation the chief plank
10 its platform. Hence, the Demo
cratic business men Of the city de-
sire Republican success in those
States.
The action OF the Republicans in
Massachusetts gives general satisfse-
ton to the Republicans here. The
ticket is sound and the platform spien-
did. With Massachusetts, Ohio, and
Pennsylvania in line, the question as
to which party will elect the next
Presi dent is settled. The Republi-
cans of New York feel very conf
dent t1at, as against imitation and
Reputation, they can carry even
New York easily. Consequently they
are in good spirits, and will so con-
tinue, even though slippery Tilden
slides into the gubernatOrial chair
this fall.

A CORRESPONDENT of the New
York Tribune has been interviewing
Hon. Edward Mcpherson, and among
other things records the following
opinion concerning u candidate for
Governor, every word OF which, we
believe, is .true: Gov. Hartranft is
much stronger that his party. His
administration has been honest,
Straightforward, and successful. The
people have confidence in him, and
their hearts have gone out to him all
the more because so many of them
distrusted him in 1872. Thousands
of voters who doubted his honesty
then will vote for him now as the
only recompense they can make for
the wrong they did him by their I'M
just suspicious. An appeal for an
Endorsement Of his able and upright
course will be among the strongest
of our arguments in the canvass"

Bury me near the broad highway
In she midst of the noisy town,
Where the rattle of wheels and the CHATTER Of hO0
Go laundering up and down;
For they trod on my heart with a merciless tread
Let them trsmple it now, as ii lies with the dead
In the dust Of oblivion down.
Why should tho birds sit over my head,
And sing the Whole day through
Or MARBLE their songs in the twilight long,
In the sheen of the stars and Gewl
When into my heart not note OF cheer,
Came down. through the chill OF my arctic year,
When my life itself was new.
Why should the roses gov and bloom
Over the dust in which llei
1t is ii ting that they, like my early hopes,
should blossom ana fade and die;
POr my heart is as dry as Sahara's sand,
When the dread srocco blOws DER the land
And the east wind draweth nigh.
Why should the early dsws distil
On tine grass that covers met
And the bright drops hang like . womans tears
For a form she may not see;
When the tears shed were as salt as brine,
Ar d none came ever 10 mingle with mine
In the days when such should be.
No! dig nv grave by the crowded street
In the midst of traffic and trade;
Where men winners and men are beat,
And fortunes are lost or made.
For !, while lived, was wounded and torn,
And down in the cruel battle borne,
prisoner, aud betrayed.
For flowers are meet for the loved and gay
In the boy of the marriage train;
And tears are idle, tor Joy can weep,
And pleasure as well % pain.
But q murdered life. it should never be named,
And the cong is false from the lips that blamed
And the hands have tOiled in vain.

Now, then, will the crusaders explalnl
A few days ago the village of Houstonia,
Missouri, was destroyed by a tornado Ii
was the cleanest swept ever seen. But one
building in the place through which the
tornado passed was spared, and that was a
saloon. Everything else. dwellings. stores.
churches. Good Templar halls evervthinp'
high and lOw-went down, all save that
saloon. 1t was the only saloon, too. A
blacksmith shop joined it on the south, and
a butcher shop on the north; both the
latter were swept away, but the saloon
stood, with whisky at the same price,
Now, the question arises, why was that
rum shop saved! Was the proprietor the
only godiy man in all the town, or was be
too wicked to be dealt with by tornado,
and he has been left to be drowned or
burned, instead of blown away!
Hammond, the revivalist, is stunning
California with considerable effect. Here
is one of the stories he tells. as reported in
San Francisco paper:
Two little boys playing marbles in a back
alley heard an old woman dying in an attic
and lamenting her dreadful life. One of
those boys procured ladder, and, CHM bling
up, put his mouth to q broken glass. and
said softly, in q eilvery voice, Jesus loves
you, and it you love him you will be saved"
That old woman died happy, because she
thought it was an angel.

y
Can you tell me which it is!'
II am Mrs. Durnford." she said. "What
did you wish with me!'
He looked at her like man awakening
from dream. Then he stretched out his
arms toward her, and as he did so light
seemed to grow upon his face. Then he
said, ''Mary."
And then with happy sigh, like that of
a mother to her child, she looked on him,
| and she knew him.
| We will close Mrs. Durnford's shop door
| for the night and serve no more customers.
1t was known among the neighbors next
| morning that gentleman had gone into
| her house Immediately before her closing,
and had not come out again: 1t was known
gone there the first thing, and that Mrs
Durnford's husband had come back from
"the Indies" with vast fortune.
That was by no means true; he had only
come home with an old ship, and had been
appointed to new one by great firm
whose confidence he had gained. He came
to fetch his wife at last, and they sailed
away with loving adieus from the Escriots:
and Upper East Smithfeld knew Mrs. Durn-
ford no more.
The Escriots did, however. By every
possible mail came letters from the Durn-
lords about Meerschaum. The plan about
him was that he was to quit the navy at
once, and come as mate under his father
He might enter the royal navy, but he
must sail under his father to learn naviga-
ton and take his proper place. He would
certainly come to M. Escriot, and NJ. Escriot
was earnestly prayed to help them in the
matter. They would only be away year,
and they wanted to end their lives all three
together.
NJ Escriot used to go out for walks on
fine days with Ninette, far beyond the East
End, far beyond the city, out into the pleas
ant parks and squares of the West. He
was in q quiet part of Kensington Gardens
one day, when his Ninette left him and
wandered away along the Serpentine. 1t
was the time when the rhodod endrons were
in bloom, and as she stood looking at them
che found herself face to face with young
gentleman in civilians clothes, but some.
how looking like sailor.
