an J ulillziug tbe oncoming generation-', and
thereby changing ever-growing national weak
ness into fctreutttb; pondering In my mind, I
ay, these hopeful exertions, I turned down a
narrow street to look into a house or two. '
It was a dark street with a dead watt on one
tide. Marly all the outer doors ot tbe houses
stood open. 1 took the flrst entry, and knocked
at a parlor door. Might 1 come in? 1 niignt,
if I plased, sur.
The womau of the room (Irish) had picked up
gome long Birips of wood, about some wbarf or
barge, and they had ju?t no been thrust into
the ntbirwe empty graie to niitKe two. iron
pots boil. There was some flfh1 in one, aud
tbere were fotue pota'.oea in the other. The
fUtre of the burning wood enabled rue' to see a
table and a broken clinir or no, and some old
cbesp erockeiy iiiLiinieuti about tbe chimney
piece. It was nut until i bu t spoken with the
woman hr a lew niiuuies that I saw a horrible
brown heap on the tloor iu a comer, which, b jt
lor previous experience in this dirmil wi-:c, I
mijiut 11 m t have tuepccied to be '"tbe bed."
There was something thrown upon it, aud I
asked wbtt that wn.
" Tis the poor cra.ytliur tint s'ays here, sur,
and 'tis very bad sue'is, and 'lis vtry bxl sbe'a
been tbis long time, aiid 'us belter ehe'il never
be, aud 'tis tlupc the uois all day. aud 'tis wane
she dots ad night, aud 'tis the Wd, sur."
"The whiit?"
"The lead, Bur. Siire 'tis the lpad-mills,where
tbe women gels took on at e'.chtecn pence a
day, tur, when they makes applicaytiou early
enough m.d is lucky and wanted, and 'tis lead

Jusoned t-oon and some oi them gits lead pisoned

according to the constitooshun, sur, and
some codb'HuiIocs Id strong and some
is weak, and her coasutooitiun is lead-
pisoned bad as can be, Bur, and her brain is
coining out at her ear, a:id it hurts her dreadtul,
and tbat's what it is aud niver no more aud
Dtver no less, sur."
The sick joung woman motudng here, the
speaker bent over ber, took a bandaue from her
head, and threw open a back door to let in the
dajlipht upon it, Irom the nmaiiubt and most
miserable back-yard I ever saw.
"That's what cooms irom her, 8ar, being
lead-pisoned, aud it co jms irom her ntght au 1
day tbe poor sick crajluur, and the paiu of it
la dieadtul, and God he knows that my hus
band has walked the stbrects these four days
being a laborer, and is walking tbcm no w aud

and no lood but the bit in ttie pot, aud no ni re
thau ten th.llings m a fortnight, God be good to
us, and it is poor we are and dark ii is aud
could it is indeed 1"
Knowing that I could compensate myelf
tberealter for my self-denial, it I sa v tit. 1 h id
resolved that I woula give nothing iu the course
of these visits. I did this to try th'j people. I
may stale at once that my clOoent observation
could not delect any indication whatever ot an
expecta'ion that I would eive money; they were
pratctul to be talked to about their miserable
aiTair, and sympathy was plainly a com'ort to
them; but tbey neither asked for money in auy
case, nor showed the leat trace of surprise or
disappointment or retenimeat at my giving
none.
The woman's married daughter had by
this time come don from her room on
he floor above, to join in the conversation.
8he hemlf bid been to the lead-mills
very early that morning to be "took
on," but nnd not succeeded. She bad lour
children, and her hushand, al-o a waterside
laborer and then out seeking work, seeme l in
no better case as to findn. it than her lather,
hhe was English, und by nature of a bJxon
fieure and cheeitul. Both in her poor dress and
in her mother's there was an etlort to keep up
some appearance of Leatness. Sbo knew alt
bout tbe sutler! tigs of tbe unfortunate invalid,
aud all about the Icad-poisouiug, and bow tbe
symptoms ciime on, and how they grew having
olten seen them. Tbe very smell when you
btood inside the door of the works was enough
to knock jou down, she said, yet she was going
back upaiu to get "took on." What conld she
do? Letter be ulceiated and paralyzed for
eighteen pence a day, while it lasted, ttuusso
the children starve.
A oark and sonalid cupboard in this room,
touching the back door and all manner of
offense, had been for some time the sleeping
place ot the tick jouDg woman, ilat
the nights being now wintry, and the
blankets and coveilels "gone to the leaving
shop," the lay all night where she lay ail day,
and was lyinu- then. The woman of tne room,
her husband, this most niit-eiable patient, and
two others, lay on tne one biown heap together
ler warmin.
"(Jod biens vou. sir. and thank vou 1" were the
parting words irom these people gra.efully
pokeu too with which I left this Dlace.
b3oue streets away, I lapped at another parlor
door on another ground-Hour. Looking iu, I
found a man. his wile, and lour children sitting
at a wauhing stool by way of table, at their
dinner of bread and infused tea leaves. There
was a very tcanty clnderous fire in the grate by
wnicn tbey sat, and there was a lent ueuoiou
' In tbe room with a bed upon it and a covet let.
The man did not rise when I went in, nor during
my slay, but civilly inclined bis bead on my
pulin g off my hat, and, in answer to my Inquiry
whether I should ask bim aques'.ion or two, said
"CeiUiuly." Tbere being a window at each
end of tbls room, back aud front, it might
have been ventilated; but it was shut up tigut,
to keep tbe cold out, and was very sickening.
Tae wife, an intelligent, quick woman, rose
and stood at tier bubband's eloo v, and he
glanced up at her as if lor help. It soon ap
peared that be was rather deaf, lie was a slow,
timpte fellow of about tlnity.

with an exceeoingly perplexed air, as if fur a

"In work I" cried th s lorlorn boller mikcr,
staring aehast at his wile, and then workiug ins
vImou's way very slowly round to me; "lord,
no I"
"Ah! He ain't, indeed!" said the poor
womao. stinking hei bead, as she looked at the
four chtldrsn in soccesifon, and then at him.
"VVorkl" suld the bolier-maker, still seeking
that evaporated boiler, tiret in roy conotenaaee,
then in tbe air, and then in the features of hW
second son at bis knee, "I with I wa$ in work !
I haven't bad more than a day's work to do tat
three weeks."'
"How have yon lived?"
' A faint pbam of admiration llvbted np the
face of the would-be boil r-muker, as he stretcned
oat tbe short sleeve of his threadbare canvA
jacket, and replied, pointing her out, "Un the
work of the wife."
I forgot where boiler-making had gone to, or
where he supposed it had gone to; but he added
some icslened Information on that held, ooupled
with an expression of -bis belief, that it wa never
coming back.
"the cheery helpfulns of the wife was very
remarkable. She did slop-work; made pea
Jackets, bhe produced the pea-jacket then in
band, and spread it out upon the bed the only
piece ot furniture in the room on which to
sfn-ad it. Sue showed how much of it she
made, and how much was afterwards finished
otl by the machine. According to ber calcula
te n at the moment, deducting what her trim
ming cost her, she pot for making a pea-jacket
tenpencc balfpeinv, and she could make one iu
Eomeib'ug lens than two.dajs.
But, you see, it come to her through two
bntid-s and ot course It didn't cotno through the
second hand lor nothing. Why did it come
through the second hand at all? Why, this
way. The- second hand took the nk
of the given-out work, you see. If sho
bad money enough to pay tbe security deposit
call it two pound she could get the work
from the first banJ, and to the second would
not have to be deducted for. But, having no
money at all, the second hand came in and took
its profit, and so the whole woiked dowu to
ten recce halfpenny. Having explained all this
with great intelligence, even with some little
pride, and without a whine or murmur, she
folded her work again, sat down by her hus
band's side at the wasnloe-Btool, and resumed
her dinner of dry bread. Mean as the
n eal a, on the bare board, with its old galli
pots lor cups, ard what not other sordid make
shifts: shabby as the woman wa9 in diess, and
toning down towards tbe Busjcsman color,
with want of nutriment and wash
Ing there was positively a dignity in her, as
the family anchor just holding the poor ship
wrecked buib r-ninker's bark. When I left the
room tbe boiler-maker's eyes were slowly
turned towards her, as if his last hope of ever
again seeing that vautshed boiler lay in ber
direction.
Tucse people had never applied for parish
relief butoace; and ihit was when the husbaui
met with a disabling accident at his work.
Not many doois from here I went into a
room on tbe first floor. The woman apolo
gized for its being in "nn untidy mess" The
day whs Saturday, aud she was boiiiug the
children's clothes in a saucepan on the hearth.
There was nothing else into which she could
have put them. TIitc waa no crockery, or
tinware, or tub, or bucket. Tnere wa6 au old
gallipot or two, and there was a broken botil-s
or so, and thirewere some broken Doxes for
Beets. Tbe last small scraping of coals left wa
rased together in a corner ot the floor. Tnere
were some tags in an open cupboard, alsoon the
floor. In a coruer of the room was a crazy old
trench bedstead, with a man lying on his buck
upon it in a rasped pilot jacket, and rough
oilBkin fantail hat. The room was perlccily
black. It was diilic:ilt to bplieve, at first, that
it was not puruosilj colored black, the walls
were fo begrimed.
As I stood oppoi'e tbe woman boillne the
children's clothes she bad not even a piece of
soap to wash tbem with and apologizing lor
her occupation, I could take in all these things
without appearing to notice them, and could
even correct my inventory. 1 had missed, at the
first glance, some halt a pound of bread in the
otherwise empty sure, an o.a rea rasrgea enno
1 ne banging on the handle ol the door by which
I bad entered, aud certain fragments of rusty
iron scattered on the floor, which looked like
broken tools and a piece of stove-pipe. A child
s'ood looking on. On the box nearest to the
lire sat two younger children; one a delicate and
pretty little creature whom the other someUuies
kissed.
This woman, like the last, was wofully
shabby, and wa9 degenerating to the Basjettnan
compli xion But btr fieure, and tbe ghost ol a
cena n vivacity about her, and the spectre of a
(timnie in her cneek, carried my memory
s'ranpely back to the old days of the Adelplii
Thea re, London, when Mrs. r'itz William was
the lnend of Victorine.

'U'a my legs," said the man upon the bed.
"I'll unroll 'em." And immediately began.
"Have you any older children ?"
"I have a daughter that does the needle-work
aud I have a son that does what he can. She's
at her work now, and he's trying lor work."

"Nothing. And we had the rest of tbe loaf

These people bad a mortal dread ol entering
the woikhuu-.t, and received no oat-oi-doo'r

M. P., and Thatman, M. P., and the public bless
ing party lay their heads together iu course of
time, and come to an equalization of rating,
she may go down tbe Dance of Death to tbe
tune ot sixpence more.
I could enter no other bouses for that one
while, for I ceull not bear tbe contemplation
of tbe children. Such heart as I bad summoned
to sustain me auainst the miseries of the aduitj
failed me when 1 looked at the. children. 1 saw
how youtgthey were, how hungry, how serious
and still. I thought ot Hum, sick and dying
in those lairs. 1 could think of them dead
without anguish; but to think of them so suffer

Children's Ho.-piial." I could scarcely have
Been an Inscription better snitd to my trne of
mind, and I went across and went Rtra'ebt in.
I found the Children'" Hospital csian.isbed In
an old saiUolt or storr hou-e, of the roughest
natuie, and on the simplest means. Toere wec
trap-door in the floors here poods had been
hoisted ud and itowa heavy leet and heavy
weights bad started every knot In th well
trodden plunking; Inconvenient bulks and
beams and awkward staircases perplexed mv
pa-sage through the wards. Uut I lonnd
it airy, sweet, and cian. Iu its scven-snd-tbirty
beds 1 saw but little bi-auty, for
starvation in the second or iblrd generation
takes a pinched look; but I saw the onfler
ings both -of hifaney and childhood
tenderly assuaged; I heard the little patients
answerinu to pet playtnl names, the light touch
ol a delicate lady laid bare the wasted sticks of
arms lor me to pity; and the claw like little
hands, asshe did so. twined themselves lovluely
around her wedSing-rlng.
One baby mltc there was as pretty as any of
Raphael's angels. Thetiuv head was b.inda ed
lor water on the brain, and it was suffering with
acute bronchitis too, and made from time to
time a plaintive, though not Impitltnt or com
plalnit g, little sound. The smooth curve of the
cheeks aud of the chin was faultless in its con
densation ot iu'anUne beauty, aud the large
bright eyes wie most lovely. It b-ippened, as
I stopped at the toot of the bed, that these eyes
rested upon mine witn that wisUul exoresidon
of wondering tbougbtlulness which "we all
know sometimes in very little children. They
remained bxed on miue, and never turned from
me while I stood there. W hen the utterance of
that plaintive sonnd shook the little form, the
gaze still remained uncharged. 1 1 tit as though
tbe cMId implored roe to tell the story of the
little hospital in which it was sheltered to any
gentle heart I could address. Laying my world
worn hand upon the little unwarned clasped
band at tbe chin, I gave it a silent promise that
I would do so.
A gentleman and lady, a young husband and
wile, have bought aud ilttert up this building
for its present noble use, and have quie.ty settled
themselves in it as l's medical oflicura and direc
tors. Both have had considerable practical
experience in medicine and surgery; be a
home-surgeon ol a great London hospital: she
tn a very earnest student, tested bv severe
examination, and also a a nuvsc of the sick poor
daring ice prevalence ol ciiotcra.
With every qualification to luro them away,
with youth and accomplishments and tastes aud
habits that can bave.no rcsp mse in any breast
near them, close begirt by every repulsive cir
cumstance lnse arable from such a neighoor
bood, there tbey dwell, f hey live in the boa

Hitting at their dinner-table, they could hear

lady's piano, drawing-materials, books, and
other such evidences of refinement, are a-j
much a nart ot the rough place as the iron

to s bi'ts tor room, likp piisseoners on board ship.

bonse had beeu discovered in a corner don
stairs, just large enough to hold it.
Colored prints, in all stages of prtparation for
being added to those already decorating the
wards, were plentiful; a charming woolen
phenomenon ot a bird, with an impossible top
knot, who ducked bis head whn you set a
counter weight going, had been inaugurated as
a public statue that very morning; and trotting
aboat among the beds, (iu luiiiliar terms with
all the patients, wa ciuI m! mongrel dog,
called Poodles. This comical doc (quite a touic
in hirmtli ) was found characteristically starving
at the door oi the institution, and was takeu in
mid fed, and has lived here ever since. An
admirer of bis mental endowments has pre
sented him with a collar beariug the lecend,
"Judge not Poodles by ex ernal appearances."
He was merrily wagging hi.-i tad on a boy's
pillow when he n'ade this modest appeal to mi.
When this Hospital was hrst opened,
In January of tue present jear, the
people could not possibly conceive but
tbat somebody piid lor the serviced
rendered there; and were disposed to claim
them as a right, and to find fault if out of tern
jer. Ihev soou cime 10 understand the case
better, and have much Increased in gra'itude.
Tbe mothers ot the patients avail themselves
very ireely of the visiting rule.-; the lathers
often on Sur dajs. Tbere is au unreasonable
(but still, J think, tousblng and intelligible)
tendency in tbe parents to take a child away to
its wretched home, if on the pint of deatn.
Crne boy who bad been thus carried off on a
rainy night, when in a violent state of inflam
mation, ana who bad been alter sards brought
back, bad been recovered with exceeding ditli
culty; but he was a jolly boy, with a specially
strong interest iu his dinner, when I saw biiu.
Insufficient lood aud unwholesome liviug are
tbe main causes of disease among these small
patients. Ho nouiisbmeot, cleanliness, and ven
tilation, are the main remedies. Discharged
patients are looked alter aud iuvited to come
and dine now and tbeu; so arc certain famish
ing creatutes who were never pa lents. Botu
the lady and tbe gentleman are well acquainted,
not only with the histories of the patients aud
their families, but with the characters aud cir
cumstances of great numbers oi their neiaubors;
ol these tbiy keep a register. It is their com
mon experience that peop'e, nuking down oy
inches into deeper and deeper poverty, will con
c al it even Iroui tb in, if possible, unto the
very last extremity.
Tbe nurses ot the Hosp'lal are all very young,
ranging, say Irom nine u n to I Jiir anil-twenty.
Tbey have, tveu w thiu thc-e narrow limns,
what many wcll-eudowed hospital would not

which to take their meal". It Is abc.aiuiul
trmb, that interest in the chtldten and sym
pathy wiih their sorrows bind there younj'
women to their plcs far more strciiiriv
