Real Life.-A Pleasing Contrast.
New York is unquestionsbly the city Of
America. Beneath its massive walls, one
nay find all kinds..of human beings: Men
who honor humanity and those who dis.
grace it Men laboring tor the elevation OF
the race. others again violating every inn
pulse that doth elevate man above the
brute. In few short hours can a man

in one or both ~ thieves, murderers, IDIOTS,
imbeeiles, midgets; honest, humane, intelli-
gent, intellectual men, inventors, engineers.
philanthropists, etc. Hero the buyer may
find anything under the sun he may wish
to purchase. Here every normal or abnor-
mal1 taste Of man is catered to. Here also
may be found prosperity and adversely,
happiness and misery. side by side, or gaz-
ing across the chasm at each other, as we
are told We shall do when We reach 1.-THE
other Shore. Yet, strange as it may ap-
pear, here, unlike what we are told twill
be 'over there, those who are compara-
lively happy cannot endure seeing their
fellow beings in misery without voluntarily
or ins,inctively extending a helping hand.
During my short stay here it was my

willing witness of a scene that would
might never again be enacted. The sub
ject does not admit OF even pencil sketch,
for :he language used is unfit for publ
cation; but the thought of it is enough to
make ones blood boil to the very depth of
his soul. During my brief experience l
have seen but few women treated harshly,
ungenerously, unjnstly ndcrnelly by those
from whom they have right to expect
naught but the best Of treatment, and con-
sequently, was somewhat unprepared to
see and hear woman, just entering the
honeymoon of her welded life, subjected
to treatment such as no man should bestOw
even on the meanest animal in my presence,
had l the power to prevent it. And who
was guilty of such conduct? He, who a few
short hours before had solemnly and sac
reilly pledged himself to love and honor
the woman Of his choice. What a start on
newly welded life! What endless misery
the wife will have to endure all the years
she may live with him. And should child
rem be born of such an alliance, how unfOr-
tllnate for them and the world that they |
must live in such an atmosphere. Truly,
''Of all animate creation, man is the only
creature that sinks below his element-be-
low the BRUTE" Where will you find
male animal that is guilty OF treating the
opposite sex in an abusive manner? Yet
man. 1.-THE lord of creation, = in the name of
matrimony, daily violates every sentiment
OF love and honor, treats his wife as in
these times he would not dare to treat the
veriest slave wtlile she with constancy,
with strong desire to do naught bus what
the world calls right, or with reverential
fear and awe perhaps, for him who cruelty
abuses her, still clings to him through toll
and danger, through misery and anxious
care, though half her days are often lost
thereby. Those cruel words Il would

A contrast, and trust a pleasing one;-
A few days ago I was riding on the New
