STUNNING" IN LONDON.


The Methods Adopted by an American.
Unauthorized Degradation.
During residence in London extending,
of and on" for a period of two years, |
lodged successfully on Red Lion square, Step
ney, Drury lane, at Nine Fins, Bshopsgate
street, Canterbury street and the Camden
road. These are localities from one to six
miles apart. The reader acquainted with
London will observe that they are ANYTHING
but fashionable OF this when / took yp
residence there | thought little | should
not choose such quarters again. But at that
time my object was to see London You do
not really see a city by driving through it.
London, with its four millions Of people, is
equivalent to half IA dozen ordinary cities
punched into one, aud its life in some quar-
tiers has marked difference from that in
others
My plan was to engage n room for a week
or two in the quarsr | wanted to explore.
Generally was lucky rs regarded the char
acter OF the people lodged with. Sometimes
was not. 1t was rather risky for stranger
to go poking about in this way, taking his
chances among people he knew nothing about
and in quarters of the city where human
degradation reached very near its lowest
limit But being entirely ignorant in this
matter / never thought of possible dangers,
and am consequently only entitled to the rep
utation of that bravery which comes of pure
stupidity.
For unadulterated degradation London ex-
ceeds any city know Of. Low, prowling,
nocturnal life is in most cities confined to a
certain quarter. In London you find 1t in
spots from St James park to far beyond the
Bank, miles to the eastward. You find it
above the Seven Dials and you find it again
on the Camden road, four miles distant. 1t

None but stout envelopes should ever be
used in sending manuscripts by mail Pack
ages of manuscript, being bulky and odd size,
get rough usage in the mail bags, and a
fimsy envelope is almost sure to burst open
before it reaches its destination. Writers
who value their manuscripts, either for SEN
timental or for practical reasons, should see
shat they are properly enclosed in a stout en-
velope, with the name OF the sender clearly
written or printed across the end. Then they
are pretty sure to reach their destination in
good condition, or, if they go astray, there is
some chance of recovering them.-The

either upon the curbs or propped up against
the house wall. Their life seems to have
merged itself into one desire-a constant
craving for gin. As You pass they beg
penny to buy gin. There is nothing of them
but dirt, rags and GIN. A shilling for them
is days fortune. A shilling in London will
buy more food, shelter and gin than will a
dollar in New York These creatures, though
plentiful, are quite harmless They tempt
one only to get away from them They are
too clumsy to be adroit thieves They are

Yet the vilest of these courts and lanes is

is to be seen. They do sweep the streets Of
London clean, and it is an equal dispensatior

TWO LILLE OLD LADIES.

Two little old ladies, one grave. one gay,
In the self same cottage lived day by day
One could not be happy, because, " she said,
so many children were hungry for bread"
And she really had not the heart to smile
When the world was so wicked all the while
The other old lady smiled all day long,
As she knitted, or sewed, or crooned song.
She had not time to be sad. she said,
When hungry children were crying for bread.
So she baked, and knitted, and gave away,
And declared the world grew better each day.
Two little old ladies', one grave, one gay;
Now which do you think chose the wiser wayf
