Where poverty-if it results from misfor.
tune, and not from vice-arives man
into the highway, his condition calls for
human charity and kindness, and he can
not be treated with censure or disdain.
But where the tramp is professional beg
gar or idler, who would rather walk the
dusty road and pick and steal, he is foe
to society. What is to be done with him,
taking him at his worst?
Officer Reeder. of Ph Philadelphia, who has
filled the part of 'beggar detective" for
twenty years in that city, and who has had
vast experience with vagrants, and their
ways, told the writer, that the tramp is
but little known in cities. He may appear
as the beggar who has his regular routes,
on the streets on which he exercises his
professional calling. Some Of these pro-
fessionals live we'll, save money and own
nice properties, send their children to
school, and ifthey can hide their calling
from them when they grow up, never
abandon professional begging. The House
Of Correction in Philadelphia, although
full to repletion, has neither relieved the
County Prison, nor the Almshouse, and
has not pcrceptibly reduced mendi cancy
and street walking. What to do with the
Tramp is the problen,-which puzzles,
annoys, and angers the whole country.
The Brothers Mayhem in their interesting
book 'London Labor, and London Poor,'
give the narrative ofseveral tramps, it ap-
pears that in England, as with us the tramp
as rale, is petty thief and the habit
once acquired has such charm about it,
that when the cold weather is over, and
the London refugees closcd-the desire to
wander off to the country is irresistible.
