thLi place. It Is not because our cty u womc

our historr and our advantage- and our minion
makes tne abominations ten-folJ more abonii
- nable.

Hin-blasted who, ab.mt to take the final pinnae
into nerrltlon. have stasfffred back lust lor a
moment to utter the wild shnek of their warn
ing and the aironf.inir wail ot their despair.
People woudTed how Turner pot such faci
lity in paintln? a storm at sea, but atirr awhile
found him, during a storm, lashed fast in the
rigirinR studying the tempest. 80 those who
have been in the a ful shipwreck ol bad pas
sions could beat describe to us the Btoriu. That
hand tremulous with exhausting diseases, and
hardly able to get the accuised bowl to liii lips
put in such a hand the pencil, and be can
sketch as no one else tho darkness, and the tire,
and the wld terror, and the headlong pitch,
and the hell of those who have surrendered
themselves to sin. We dure only to come near
the edge, and, carefully ballancinp ourselves,
look off, and our head bwinis and our breath
catches. Only hose can tell the story wno,
having tallen to the depths with wilder crush
than glacier from the top of Swiss cutf, stand
down in their agonies, looking up lor relief that
comes not, and etrau.inir their eyes tor hope
that Lever dawns, crying, "O God ! OGodl O
God I" It is an awiul thing to see a man caged
f sinful habit, and beating against the wires
to get out, till there is blood on the cage and
blood on the soul.
Others may throw garlands upon sin, and pic
tare the overhanging lrults that drop In her
Sath way, aud make every step graceful as the
ance. But we must speak of it as a giaut black
with the soot of lorges where eternal chains are
made, and feet rotiinsr with disease, and breath
foul with plagues, and eyes glaring with woe,
and locks iioiug in serpent fanas, and voice
ftom which ruuiole forth the blasphemies ot the
damned.
1 open vou a door through which you see
what? Pleasant pictures and fountains, and
mirrors, and flowery bands? No! no! It is a
lazax-house of diseaoe. The walls driD, drip,
drip with the damps ot sepulchres. Tbo victims,
strewn over the floor, writhe and twlat among
each other in contortions indescribable, holding
up their ulcerous wounds, tearing their matted
hair, weeping their tears of blood, some hootirg
with, revengeiul cry, some howling with a ma
niac's tear, borne chattering with an idiotic stare,
some calling upon God, some calling upon
friends, wasting away, thrusting each other
beck, mocking each other's pain, tearing open
each other's uloers dropping wuh the ichor of
death. And the wider I open the door, the
ghastlier the scene, the worse tho horrors, more
desperate the recoiling, deeper cursed, and
more blood, until I can no lonuer endure the
vtf-ion, and I slam shut the door, and cover my
eyes and cry, "God pity them 1"
Some may say, "What is the use of such an
exposition as you propose to make in this courso
of sermons? O.r lumilics are hipbly respecta
ble. We are in no danper !" I answer that no
family, however elevated or cxclunive, can bo
independent of the state ot pab.io morals.
While three years ago I discoursed somewoat
upon similar themes, a lather sat imlirlerently,
and thouaht 8'ich a sermon would be of no ser
vice to his family. Hear it, ana let your en.is
tingle I At that time his sou was tottering on
the vereeof habits which have since swallowed
him, body and boul; and his daughter was
taking the first steps in that dark, dismal, dole
ful path acroes which dart the tierce lightnings
of an incensed God, and over which shall
tell you? Will you endure the unfoldiue? Nay,
my heart (tails met I shudder, and turn away.
However- pleasant the block of houses in
which you dwell, the wretchedness, tne temp
tation, and the outrage of municipal crime will
put its hand on your door-knob, and dash its
awful surge against tho marble ot your door
steps as a storm-struck sea drives on the rocky
beach. That condition of morals Is now being
formed amid which our children must walk.
Do you toll me it is none of my business what
street profanity shall curse my boy's ear on his
way to 6chool?. Think you it is no concern of
yours what infamous advertisement shall, from
placards on the wall or public newspaper, amite
the vision of your innocnt little ones Shall I
be otiended at the nuisance ot a etaenant pool
of water near my dwelling, and have uoihiup to
say when there are in the very heart of this city
twelve thousand house devoted to various lorms
of dissipation and abandonment, aud day and
night they steam wuh miasma, aud pour out
the iiery lava of pollution, and darnen the air
with their horrors, and nil the skies with the
smoke of their torment that asceudeth up forever
ui ever.
If there be a slaughterhouse too near the
city, we bo down to the Mayor, and pheou3ly
beg to have the nuisance abated. I make com
plaint to-Dieht not to Mayor or Common Coun
cil, Out to the masses ot the people who have
the power to lift men up to office aud cast them

you sit unconcerned, and leave to professed
fihiUnthropists the work, and care not who are
n authority, or what laws remain uuexecute I,
you may live to see the time when you will
curse the day in which your children were born.
My belief is that such an f xponinon of public
Immoralities will do good by excl'ing pit for
the victims, and wholesome indignation against
the abettors and perpetrators. Who is that
man fallen against the curbstone, and covered
all over with the marks of beattl ie? Why. be

Who would think that that uncombed hair

in Philadelphia an honest City Hall, and public
pollution would fall lute lightning from Heaven.
If jou Berublicans and Democrats 00 not have
enough ectrrmuiatlon through the men you
elect to co their duty In this regard, we will
alter awhile form a party of our own, and put
men in positions pledged to anti-rum, a iti-diri,
anti-nuuances, anti-all municipal abominstiom,
and will pive to those of vou who have been so
long fattening on public spoils, careloss of

The London AUienonun, in an article 011 the
"Kei-ouicesot Buiniugham," has the following
about lecks:
The hrrt patent for a new lock bears date
1774, by which instalment Robert Barron, of
London, secured to himself the privilege of
'constructing locks in which the security was
effected by tixeu wards, with the addition ol
lifting tun.blers or levers." Such is tho merit
of Barron's lock that it is still iu great demaud,
as a secure and serviceable contrivance, althouph
since' its brst production, successive inventors
have taken more than one hundred and tentv
patent! lor liovei locks, ot which the most iiu
jioitant are those known by the names ot their
respective inventors, Bramah, Chubb, aud
llobbs. Joseph Bramah's Iock, patented in
17S4, was lor more than two generations re
garded as a connivance that would baflle the
cleverest mechanician who should venture to
pick it. For jears a specimen of this beautiful
arrangement was exhibited in tho window of
Rir. Bramah's shop in Piccadilly, together with
this pliicaid: "Notice. The artist who can
niuke an instrument that will pick or open this
lock will receive two hundred guineas the mo
ment it is produced." The ie.vard was not
claimed till 1851, when au American meuhaui
cmu, named Hobos, who had been drawn to
the hngln-h netropolls by the Great Exhibition,
saw the challenge, accepted it, and alter a
touch bght thut lntea sixteen days proved vlc
tonouj. The success of Mr. Hodoj not only
ca'ised lively excitement in the public minJ,
but tor a time pave his lock a decided advan.
taee in the market over the defeated Bramah,
arid abto over the Chubb, which, originally m-
ven.ea in iti, naa ror more than thirty years
divided puolic favor with Bramah's invention.
That ihe Chubb has uot lost Us hold on public
confidence may be interred from the fact that
"Messrs. Chubb A Son manutacture about
30 000 looks per annum, the cbeapc-t of which
is eold at His. net, while many of them are
woithlroiui;2to3 each." It Is almost need
less toooserve that the distinctive and most
valuable feature o. the Chubb is Us detector, i.
e., the 6pri.,g which renders the bolt immovable
as fcoonastne lock- is tried wit u a fulse key.
Like Bramah's auo Hobbs' locks, Chubb' locks
are made m series, each lock having its separate
key. and all the locks of a series obeying a
master-key. So extensive are the combinations
that 1 would be quite practicable to niano locks
tor all the doors ot all houses in Loudon, with a
dlstmet and ditlerent key to each lock, and et
there should be one master-key to pass the
whole I A most complete series of locks was
constructed some yens ago by the jate Mr.
Chubb lor the Westmin ter Bridewell. It con
sists of 1100 ''ocks forming one series with keys
tor the muster, sub mUsr, and warders.

cheapness and corresponding worth eWs ot
her wares. There is a familiarlaying that 'If
a Willenhall locksmith happen, to let fall a lock
in the process of manutacture, he does not stay
to pick it up, as he can make anoiher in le" s
time." The late Mr. G. B. Thorneycrol who
resided at Willenhall for a time, was one
taun ed that some padlocks were made in Wil
lmball which would only lock once; but when
he was told the price, namely, twopence h
replied. "Well, it would be a shame if they did
lock twice for that money." The same articles
are now being sold at one halfpenny each I
The average activity of the whole district is
thus stated; "The total weekly production ot
locks In the district is estimated as follows:
Pad, 24,000 dozen; cabinet, till and ckeBt, 3000
doren: rim, dead, mortice, and drtwrack,
3010 oor.cn; fine plate, 1000 dozen; and scoured
