were open, and on the platform were several

LOW LIFE.

Let your soul rut on rags .o-night; we are going
where life is low;
Not mean, where murder will smite, not to
slums that with thieves o'erfiow;
Not to haunts that shall shock, Distress but to
low life, nevertheless
For caste hath lairs packed With pride, not OF
righteous deeds, but Of race,
And avarice dens where abide msanthropies that
debase-
Though in either the rich light falls between
grandeurs of gilded walls
Nay, the outoasts not all may be found among
alleyways noisome with dirt;
There are paupers. uDclean and unsound, whom
penuIy's harms may not hurt;
There are lives wealth defended from Ill, ye
