o, these clearinghouse, these
boarding-houses ! What forlorn people
one sees stranded on their desolate
shores DecaYed gentlewomen with
the poor wrecks Of what once made
their households beautiful, disposed a.
round them in narrow chambers as
they best may be, coming down day af-
ter day, poor souls to sit at the board
with strangers their hearts full Of sad
memories that have nc language but a
sigh, no record but the lines Of sorrow
on their features orphans, creatures
with growing tendrils and nothing to |
cling to; lonely rich men, casting about
them, what to do with the wealth they |
never knew how to enjoy, when they |
shall no longer worry over keeping and |
it; young men and young
women, left to their instincts, unguard-
cd, unmatched, save by malicious eyes
such are the tenants of boarding
houses whom we can not think Of with
out feeling how sad ii is when the wind
is not tempered to the shorn lamb;
when the solitary, whose hearts are
shrivelling, are not set in families -
