The Pauper Question.

l
A characteristic of modern benevo-
| lence is its recognition of the solidarity
of human society. By virtue OF this
fact, man can no longer be regarded as
a self-poised, isolated unit, whose char
| acter is the result of his own determine
/ ton, but as the creature of his environ
ment. Two fruitful inferences proceed
! from this principles: first, the inadequaey
OF mere physical instrumentalities to
work a change in the condition of the
debased, since these do not reach their
! fellowships; and secondly, the compile
/ ity of society in the evils of its wretch
ed classes. Outlawry is a fiction; the
word of the magistrate cannot undo the
deed OF God. For veal or harm, every
living soul is an integral part of society;
his deterioration is a disorder in the
whole body. Probably these conclu-
sion have not been formulated in the
minds of many wise and effective dis
ciples of charity, but they emerge none
the less from all careful Investigations
into the situation and requirements of
the miserable, and they are disclosed in
the strenuous efforts of thoughtful phi
lanthropists to reform the institutions
and methods of the community, as an in
dispensable prerequisite to the reforma-
ton of persons. Let this contrast serve
for an illustration: Professor Fawcett,
in his work on Pauperism, tells us that
an English landlord, desifous of improv-
ing the character of his agricultural
tenants, whose bestiality was attributed
to overcrowding, enlarged his cottages
by adding rooms, SO that the family
could separate into decent privacy In
stead of doing this, however, his tenants
sublet the new rooms, and thus increas-
ed the evils. These laborers were not
conscious of any want which could not
be satisfied by herding in single room.
Their character was unchanged, and
mere mechanical improvement in their
surroundings could not alter their hab-
its. If Miss Octavia Hill met with bet
ter results in Barrett's Court, she was
not less convinced that the landlord
mentioned that no reformation was prac-
ticable among the objects of her solici-
tude, until their habitations were suited
to good manners, and reflected upon
them the standards of respectable soci-
ETY.. But she knew equally we'll that
her presence must enforce a decent dis
cfpline, and link her wards to higher
order of feeling and motive, or her ten
ants would go on as of old, turning the
passage-ways into receptacles of gar
bage, ana hewing the staircases inko
fire-wood Miss Hills success grew cut
of the recognition of two facts: the
completely of society in the degradation
of her wards, and their capacity to re-
spond to moral Influences. They were
the victims of neglect, and hence worse
sufferers in character than in circum-
stances; but they were also human
souls, susceptible to the order and beau
ty of discipline, when it was presented
by one whose trained faculties attached
her in hundred joyous. honorable
ways to that society which discipline
unites and regally endows.-D. q.
