So oneday, he made a clean breast of.
It---att , :thk saying is—to her.: , She

Dick's mother, like a great many
others, was possessed with theerron
eons idea, that if one'sphysicai wants
are supplied, contentment IneVitably
follows as naturally as the full gush
ing notes ripple from the merry
songster, when nature, spreading her

view matters from the same: stand
point, and his appeals becording so
vociferous, that, rather tho have
him take his departure by stealth,
she gave a reluctant consent.
No one but a mother can conceive
of the many bitter tears, and prec

article was: - .consigned to its
appropriate place in the; little
ehest„ that was to accompa

Time, fleet footed monster, moved
on apace. • Five times the earth burst
her icy fetters, and the same number
of times the robins came and built
their nests in the old apple tree by
Dick's window. Still no merry faced
Dick peeped at them, and all this
time a fond mother waited to wel
come him back. Every night an
anxious face peered out of the door,
the last thing before retiring, and
stared into the darkness for some
sign of his returning.
"I won't lock the door," the poor
mother would my. "Who knows
but what the ship might come in the
night time." And so it came about
that the door was never fastened.
Hope on, weary mother, your joy
will come. Away out on the stormy
deep, the homeward bound vessel is
flowing its way, and away up among
the rigging Is Dick, working with
the energy of despair to help the
vessel weather the storm, and from
the foam crested billows that rise
mountain high before him, a voice
seemed to come, "god bless you
Dick, and bring you back safely over
the sea."
Like an inspiration, that last good
bye came to the almost despairing
boy,—or man now. New vigor
came to him, and above the . creaking
of the timbers, the swearing of the
sailors, and screaming of the pas
sengers, his loud, hearty voice
rang out over it all.
When the morning sun appeared
above the horiznn, it smiled on a
ship saved from the deep, and in an
other week she landed her crew on
Terra Firma.
Dick lost no:time in setting out for
bis home, and at the dusk of a cool,
bright autumn day, he was landed
at the station in closest proximity to
the village. Seizing his bundle, he
walked briskly over the crisp ground
and thought of the surprise he would
give the folks at home. It was a
long walk, and soon the twilight de
scended softly on the landscape, then
"Night, sable goddess from the ebon
throne," threw her mantle over the
earth, and here and there a' broad
shaft of light fell in bars across the
road. The houses became more close.
and he hurried through the village
to .the farthest end of the street,
and stealthily unlatchin the gate, he
crept up to the door, Just, then it
opened, and he could hardly control
his emotions on beholding the face of
his mother. She (dear soul, not
knowing the great Joy in reservation
for her) held the light far. above her
head, and shading her eyes with her
hinds, peered tong and intently into
the gloom.
"Lick, Dick, ain't you coming to
night? YouF old mother is almost
weary looking for you. I'll be gone
if you don't soon come."
Dick suffered her to go in, and
then going up to the door, softly en
tered, and found his way to the fam
ily sitting room, where he saw her
bending over the fire.
"Is that you David ?' Don't wor
ry about me. I am coming up right
away."
On *receiving no answer, she turn

O Laura Daire, yourimtge comes
to mo to night,' at you stood th4t
mellow September evening, so y
fraught with tender joys. The bag
weary years Intervening are forgot-
ten; the deep chasm belated, and to
night, as the shadows come, and go,
flung the room with dark fantastic
shapes, and the logs glow and burn
on the hearth, I trace your linage
there. Oh my ilarliag, how beautl-
ful you seemed to me then, and how
my heart thmbbed with emulation
when I thought you were mine. I
loved you from 'the pink ribbon,
pesUing in your lair, to the tiny slip•
pees that peeped Imm beneath your
dress. I remember my walk along
the shady road, and thrOugh the
meadow up to the gate. , I spied
your white dress gleaming long be
fore f reached you, and crept up td '
give you a surprise. You were
watching the snn, that was going to
rest, and shone out above a broad
band of crimson. Your arms were
slightly extended; your lips were
parted with excitement, and your
eyes had such a far-away expression
in them, that I clutched you, as if to .
prevent your flitting. Then you
turned around laughing, "Why Hen
ry how you frightened me!" After
that we took a tong walk, and "your
hand lay lightly confidingly in
mine." This was the last time we
were to be together for a long time;
for I had a home to prepare for my
promised bride, and the next day I
ture home, and pictured it fair and
was to leave for the great west. How
we talked and planned about our fu
lovely. Then It would be ours. There 1
was a sweet charm in lingering over
that possessive pronoun. When, at
length,wecame back , by the light of
the moon; my ring glistened on your
fair hand,and a small one of yours en
circled my little finger. It was hard to
part,and when you,hiding your blush
ing face, 'Cried, "Henry, I will never,
desert you; no, as long as life lasts,
my, heart will own no other earthly
master, and if anything should hap
pen, remember I love you only."
These were the last words I ever
heard Laura Daire utter, anti is it
any wonder that I cherish them, and
that during my weary exile they re
curred and cheered ine, when hope
was all but fled? that long, weary
waiting.
"Oh long are years of waiting, when lover's hearts
are bound
By word that hold in lire or death, and last the
world around.
Long, long for him who wanders far, and strives
with all his main;
Bat crueler yet for her. Who bides at home and
For awhile my hopes ran high 'as
I heaped the golden treasures, and
each minute particle of the golden
dust, seemed to bring the one' day
nearer to my heart's desire, but a
shadow obscured my bright vision.
One day, a strange feeling came over
me; my brain became confused; then
darkness, such horrible darkness en
sued. I was tottured with fairs;
some one was robbing me of my
gold, my precious money, would no
one help me? Then a terrible thirst
took possession of me. "Water, wa
ter, could no one give me a sup of
water to satiate my burning thirst ?"
A cool inviting fountain threw its
sparkling wealth of water beside me,
and the steady, drip, drip, drip, as it
fell into the basin, tantalized me, yet
I could not reach it; but a gentle be
ing came, bearing a cup of it, and I
elutched it, drinking it at one long
draught. When I awoke I was in
bed; a night lamp was burning on a
stand close by, and near it an old la
dy sat reading. At my moving she
glanced up, and seeing I was awake,
tame to the bedside. "What's the
matter?" I uttered, and started at
the hollow sound of my voice.
"Hush," whispered the nurse, for
such she proved to be. "you must not
talk, you've been sick, so Just take
take this medicine and go to sleep."
After a few days, my nurse told
me that I had been sick for two
months. Two mont hs ! thought I.
Two months, and all:that time my
friends knowing nothing of me, and
my heart burned when I thought of
the wounded pride and love of Lau
ra Daire; so as soon as strength per
mitted, a loving letter was sent to
gladen her, but days rolled on; then
weeks came and went; these dragged
themselves into months, then a year,
and no white robed mission came to
relieve the terrible suspense that was
wearing me, and haunting me night
and day like a shadow. Prosperity
smiled upon my gfforts, and wealth
poured her golden treasures at my
feet, but each added increase seemed
to echo "Too late ! too late !" My
heart yearned for my native hills.
If I could only breathe the air of my
childhood's home, as it swept across
the meadows, laden with the per
fume of the new mown hay; and so
it came that when spring had fairly
donned her verdant robes, it found
me on my journey home. Four
years had passed since my departure
from my native. place, but yet it
looked familiar. I wandered right
to my home, but the gate hung off of
the hinges, and the tall weeds grew
rank in the once neatly kept walk ,
the well bucket hung high and dry
by the windlass, and a hollow sound
echoed through the house at my
knocking. An cud owl from a neigh
boring Whod hooted dismally, and
the burden of his cry seemed to be
"gone, gone." Instinctively my
steps turned to the church and the
old burying ground, to the last rest
ing place of the dead.
"The breezy call of incense breathing morn.
The swallows twittering from their straw built
shed;
The cook's shrill clarion. or the echoing horn.
No more shall rouse them from their lowly bed."
I wandered down the broad walk
along the well trimmed hedges, until
I came to the . family resting place.
Yes ; there was one mound more,
and stepping in,l parted the tall grass
and vines, letting the pitying moon-

Was the anguished Cry that burst
tram my. lips, "your last days were
doubtless embittered by, my seeming
negligence," and throwing ruyielfOn
the drunpgrass, I watered her grave
with my tears.
A dim presentiment of corning
sorrowapprestted me, and, when the
landlord of the hotel where I was
•#toPPlog, informed me in one of his
rit4cts of virlubliity of the grand
wedding &Laura Daire and some

from mimanner that he had crushed

Happiness does not bring tboseftttle

You move around with' stately
grace, but it is only a mask , that I

mistakes. People say it was a long
time before you would consent to be
married. Did you think I had
ceased to care for you, and that last'
letter, what became of it? Perhaps
you never received% and wounded
pride found solace in the rich man's
proposal. Ah, well ! "God pity us

How foolish I am to bring up such

AN ARMY OF OUTLAWS.
The Dangerous Classes—Who and
What they are—Sixty-five Thousand
Burglars, Highway Bobber*, Pick.
pockeza,Conlidance Operators, Coun
terfeiters, 'and Other Criminals.
. From the N. 1. Commercial Advertiser.
These classes cost New York annu
ally many millionsof dollars. Judg
es. prosecuting attorneys, clerks, de
tectives, policemen and prison keep
ers are employed equal in number to
the United States army.
The crimes committed in this city
in a single month outnumbered the
deprecation of the Apaches, Modocs,
Sioux, and all the other ravages in
this country in an entire year.
Over eighty thousand arrests are
made annually.
This number consists of murderers,
highway robbers. burglars, counter
feiters, pickpockets, gamblers, prosti
tutes, and every other class of crimi
nals known to the calendar of crime.
When it is understood, in connec
tion with the above facts that not
more than one-fourth of the crimes
committed are reported to the police
authorities, or find their way to the
public through the press, a better
idea can be formed of the dangerous
element in our midst.
We can estimate with exactness,
from the census and other statistics.
the number of people engaged in
any particular mercantile or profes
sional pursuit, but it is a much more
difficult matter to arrive with certain
ty at the numbers composing the
dangerous classes.
Burglars, counterfeiters, and pick
pockets, for obvious reasons, are not
as prompt in furnishing information
to the census-taker as lawyers, doc
tors, and merchants.
THE TOTAL.
Careful estimates, made from the
police and detective records and uth
statistics, together with information
gathered from knotty prominent
criminals, fixes the total at sixty-five
thousand.
MAGDALEN'S.
This number includes seventeen
thousand Magdalens—poor, lost, de
graded women—most of them im
pregnated with diseases more loath
some than the putrifying caresssixs
that fill our graveyards. _,
These are distributed in airports of
the city. We find them among the
rich and among the poor. The
largest portion inhabit the slums, by
way', and bagnols of Water, Cherry,
Elizabeth, Greene, and similarly in
fected streets. This number dress
in rags and gaudy finery, and exist
in abject misery and want.. Others
live in elegantly furnished houses
up town. They own fine horses_ and
carriages, and wear costly silkS, vel
vets and jewelry.
WORTHLESS AND DANGEROUS RAS-
CALS.
Fifteen thousand miscellaneous
characters are classed under one
head. They are roughs and rowdies,
the worthless and dangerous rascals,
too lazy to work and too cowardly
to steal—many of thorn parasites at
tached to the poor creatures men
tioned above. They possess alt the
requisites of cut-throatECand thieves
—except courage. It is difficult to
imagine uman beings more degra
ded.

MISCELLANEOUS TIIIEVES. -
&veil thousand miscellaneous
thieves subsist by stealina. They
steal anything, from apm nut to a
Wagon. This class is, to the regular
profmionalturglar, pickpocket, and
shop-lifter *hat quack doctors are
to the medical fraternity, or Tombs
shysters
,to_the 'disciples of Black
stone.
Me bees of this ciatt,: Occasionally'

The Panortno murder was_ probably
committed by some of these villains.
Under this head we also include
the boarding:hauseand hotel thieves
= 7 -plausible, well dree.sed fellows,
Who engage board, and soon after
ward decamp with everything avail
able.' To -this class belong the hall
thieves; who will enter• a front door
and parry off overcoats, fur capes,
'hats, uinbrelliT, and even overshoes.
The diterint silver gangs are among
this number,and the lead pipe, and
old brass,'and. - ash box thieves. and
number of other piratical rascals, of
allages and both sexes.
, This seven thousand are like the
starving wolves, the coyotes, and
buzzards. Anything and everything
is fair prey for_them.
' PICKPOCKETS.
Among the professional thieves
nre four thousand pickpockets. bold,.
Skilled scoundrels, whceare a terror
to the commtlnity. We find them
plying their trade at theatres and
churches, in the street cars, and at
political meetings on the public
thoroughfares, and even at, funerals.
This class comprise men, women
and children. " Gray-headed respeist
able appearing men, who might eas-
Ily be mistaken for Wall street bro
kers or Broadway merchants; beau
tiful, refined-looking, and elegantly
dressed Women, and prattling,
bright-eyed children are among the
number. They are carefully Instruc
ted by.adepta. Many of them serve
a lon g apprenticeship under the su
pervision of some expert.
Dicken's description of Fagan. the
Jew, instiucting his pupils, is far
from being exaggerated. There
are in this city several dens where
children are carefnlly trained for
this purpose. In Essex street. with
in a stone's throw of the Bowery, a
veteran pickpocket has been engag
ed for years in teaching children how,
to steal. This is no fancy picture,
but an actual fact. A.rope is stretch- -
ed across the room, on which are
hung coats, pantaloons and dresses.
Pocket books and watches are then
placed in the pockets of the garments,
and the children strive to extinct
them without moving the clothing.
After they had been thoroughly
drilled, they are sent out on the
streets to operate in real earnest.
Three or four pickpockets usually
form a gang or working force. Each
one has some particular part to per
form. In operating on the cars, for
instance, one of them will obstruct
the passage way, another will place
himself so as - to conceal the hands of
the expert, while a third will stand
ready to receive the plunder, which
is passed to him the instant it leaves
the person of the victim.
SHOPLIFTERS
Twelve hundred shoplifters form a
by no means inqgnflicant body of
thieves. More than hal fof them - are
females. They steal annually many
thousand dollars' worth of goods.
Large establishments are compelled
to employ special detectives to look
after this class',
The rapidity with which they load
themselves with 'large quantities of
goods under the eyes of some watch
ful clerk, is astonishing.
The females are provided with
large pockets concealed in the folds
of their garments. Some of these re
ceptacles are capacious enough to hold
three or four bolts of reusliu. Au
elegantly attired lady was arrested the
other day walking gracefully away
from a large dry goods establishment
on Broadway. She was conducted
to a private room and relieved of one
roll of Lyons velvet,- fifty yards of
Antwerp silk, and a box containing
seventy-five yards of ribbon.
A,favorite mode of opperation is to
have one of their number engage the
attention of the clerk while a confed
erate takes the goods.
BURGLARS.
Nine hundred burglars are prowl—
ing about the streets night and day.
These men are daring, hardened
criminals. They seldom hesitate to
commit murder to escape capture.
The brutal murder of the old man
Nathan and the shooting of Mr.
Phelps illustrate the desperate char
acter of this class.
Five hundred receivers of stolen
goods carry on a thriving burin in
in
this city. Some of them are v rzf_
wealthy. One of their number is
worth over half a - million defiers.
Another owns a church, bought with
the proceeds of robberies. The
straight-laced orthodox congregation
who worship in this sanctuary little
suspect that it is owned by a notori
ous "receiver;"
among this class are dealers in ev-.
ery kind of stolen property. Bur
glars, pickpockets, and other rascals
find a market among there people
for Government bonds„ railroad
stocks, jewelry, drygoods, groceries,
old iron, bottles, and eVery other de
scription of plunder. The thief re
ed* about one-fourth the actual
value of the property.
COUNTERFEITERS, mairrnENCE OP
ERATORS, ETC.
'Manufacturers and passers of coun
terfeit money, confidence operators,
mock auction dealers, river- pirates.
policy dealers, quack doctors,furtunq
tellers, and gift jewelry swindler.:,'
make up the balance of thesixty-five
thousand.
