A TRAMP LAW.

The legislature of New Hampshire
has just passed most stringent law
looking TO the abatement of the
tramp nuisance. This law declares
that any person going from place to
place, begging or subsisting upon
charity, shall be punished by imprs-
onment in the State prison Tor a pc.
riod not exceeding fifteen months
Those exempt are women, minors
under II years OF age, and blind
persons. The first probably y forming
an exception, because there are no
women tramps. Acts usually com.
mitted by tramps, such as lighting
fires on the highways, entering dwell.
Iings, carrying dangerous weapons
or making threats of violence to per
sons or property, are specified, and a
term of two years in the State pris.
on defined as the penalty for com.
mission of any Of them. Copies Of
the law are ordered printed and sent
to the several town and city clerks,
with directions to post in at least six
conspicuous places, three Of which
shall be on the public highway. 1t
now remains to be seen whether this
nuisance can be legislated out of ex,
istence, or whether, like most for.
midable evils, it will exist and multi
ply in calm defiance Of statutory en-.
actments.

Henry Ward Beecher, in a recent
lecture, intimated that he regarded a
man who did not labor with his brains
as well as bands as no better than a
mule. He did not make the simile
in that language exactly, hut he said;
"The man that only knows how to
work with hands and not his head
must he content to stand where the
hoof stands, where the foot stands.

once more resumed her monotonous

of. and in this stage of enforced

preternaturally active.
She was a dark-eved girl of six or

Rachel Hall had learned what 1t was

music lessons, she had made wax

even applied, in vain, for situation
as waitress in restaurant.
And lust as she was making up
her mind to starve quietly to death

influence of an old professor who
had known her once, and Rachel
Hall had grasped at it as dying
