THE TRAMP PROBLEM.

From the Concord, IN. H. Monitor)
Massachusetts, has demonstrated by
experiment that compulsory work is
the great deterrent of vagrancy.
The city Of Worcester, which feeds
It's tramps Mt the police station on
nothing but crackers costing l,i cents
per tramp per meal, harbors in the
course Of year one tramp for every
nine inhabitants, while Springfield,
which provides more generous accom-,
modations at II wayfarers' lodge, has
but one tramp to - Inhabitants, and
Boston In buldcncd with one tramp to
every II of It's citizens. The latter
cities, II should he noted, exact work
while Worcester requires no return In
labor for It's scanty meal of cheap
crackers The conclusion of the whole
matter in Massachusetts, in view Of
the experiments made is that there is
no kindness in making II easy for u
man to tramp instead of trying to get
regular employment, and that the
towns which have devised practical
BILE system of eSactng work for food
and shelter have done the most to
check yagrancy,

And even Christian bosoms
Deny thy memory room;
For lying lips shall torture
They mercy into crime,
And the slanderer shall flourish
