STREET LOAFERS.

Whence do they come, those idlers in
tho streets, who, wandering in single
rank or dispersed detachmcnts among
the busy and the purposeful, are con
founded with them, and never seen for
what they are till something happens
which calls them together; when they
astonish us by their numbers and the
problem Of how they are able to live
at abiding not being n profitable in
vestment of ones capital? Men and
women who, one would suppose, had
enough to keep things straight, and TO
find food and clothing for themselves
and those belonging TO them, If they
worked diligently for ~ hours out Of
the "a, gather into compact masses Of
gaping idlenoss at every unusual occur
ence, every tntling accident and pass
hours staring at the sight, II hours are
needed TO be passed before the obstruc-
tion gets itself removed, or the show
vanishes into space, ,lasierless men,
surely they must be yet evidently
they are not their own masters, so far
as having the whip.hand of circum.
stances goes, women without home or
duties, for all that dress and appear
ancc and the betraying wedding-ring
would seem TO point 10 both; mere
idlers cumbering ground which others
till, and living rs best they can on
food which they only help to consume,
taking no trouble to create or prepare.
These mullitudes of idlers TO be col.
Iected together in the streets of any
large town at moments notice, have
always seemed TO US TO be tie oldest
phenomena OF our social life. Men
with the need and marks of work leg.
IDLY written on every square inch OF
their person and attire, why are they
not at their bench, in the factory, the
foundry, the sbip.yard, at the anvil, at
the loom2 Or ii they belong to none
Of these trades, and are Of that queer,
nondescript class which seems to have
no settled occupation, and one may
well believe no settled home, which
calls itself generically the class Of the
"handy men," men ready for jobs Of
any kind and living on the disregard
ed crumbs of labor, how is il that they
give so much time from their poor
scratching on the surface Of the great
field Of work, and spend in street sight
seeing that precious jewel Of humanity
called Zine? Who can tell 2 All we
know is that, like vutures gathered to
the carcass, the least event can happen
in the streets ont Of the ordinary run OF
daily traffic, horse cannot fall, a new
kind of hurdy-gurdy cannot grind out
familiar tune, mounte-bank cannot
go through tricks that were stale a
hundred years ago, not Punch repeat
a pantomime known TO all but the ris.
ing generation, but the idlers are gath
cred in crowds and for them, at least,
all the duties of life are suspended for
hours TO come.

The headquarters Of the Servian
army II thus described Nisch, the
Nissa of Tie Romans, was once a splen-
did city, and was the birthplace OF the
Emperor Constantine the Great who
adorned ii with magnificent palaces
aud other public works. II was still
further en- bellished by The Emperor
Traian, who built the famous bridge
over the Danube near the "lron GATES" !"
Not ono stone of all these splendid con-
structions remains to tell the story of
the maghificehcc of the Roman empire
in this now half wild country. The
bridges site was even disputed point
until mnc years ago, when an cxtraor-
dinary low stage OF water in the Dan
ube revealed the foundations OF the
piers that once supported the massive
arches Of that splendid structure. TIE
minority OF persons in America have
not stopped 10 rccallthe fact that these
semi barbarous provinces IN European
Turkey once formed a principal part
OF the gigantic aud highly cultivated
empires Of Greece and Rome, Nisch,
or Nissa, was populous aud splendid
city when London was a wilderness.
