Tbe WAnta of Children*
Having tluis provided for health and comfort by .
commodious, airy, unitary dwellings, and ample
grounds and shrubberies around them—having
provided for productive industry by co-operative.
- actioni and for trade and commerce by a system
of general exchange, - another moßt important
niatter would yet remain to be settleftby the com
■ munity in its deliberations-for the .general. wel»
■ fare; “ What shall be done with the children
—Yes, that would he a question of questions, to be
. /.vwttted - not; luper&ciaUy, not lightly, hut Tumla
mentally, radically and m perfect conformity with
—the physical and mental constitution .of children.
It is absurd to say that at the present day a soffi
.-dent-provision-ia made for , the youthful.popular
tion of our cities, in respect to the healthy require*
-rqents of a chili’s nature. The Free School. Syss
tern, so justly, a source of pride to the communis
ties that have adopted it, is good only as far as it
goes. It is by no means alhsufficient, since it
but.partially and imperfectly but one of
the wants of a child, viz, intellectual culture.—
For his moral, physical and industrial, natures
. there is even less provision made, if we except a
- few hours religious teaching on Sunday, for those
‘ who do. attend School und Church. Now what d
; child does at school is without doubt important;
■: but what he does out of school is of equal, if not
mote; importance. In school the intellect is kept
- Chiefly busy—out of school the affections, the so
cial feelings, come most into play; ami if it is
: important to supply instructors for the intellect,
is it not mote so to supply guides to the moral
~ faculties—supervisors of the child’s active ener»
gies out of school, and proper objects- of occupa
! tion to absorb these energies ? It would seem so;
• yet what is the alternative presented to city cbil
• dim when school is dismissed ? Either the range
- of the streets, or confinement within doors at home,
or to the narrow yard attached to it.. If confined
, at home, to be under the parental eye, they suffer
• the most irtaome restraint from want of space
. inside the house or out of it, to admit of suffi
’ iieut bodily activity. They suffer from want of
proper companionship—from wane of occupation
to interest them. They cannot romp, run and
jump m the house with hearty freedom, because
that endangers mamma’s carpets and carefully
kept furniture. They must not be noisy, for the
old .folks love qnlet. The kitchen is forbidden
ground, for either they must not be with the ser
vants, orthey are in the way. They cannot-well
play in the yard, for it is too small, or the clothes
are-hanging;to dry; or it is too muddy, or they
- must dispute possession of it with the cow or the
- -pi Si or should there happen to be a little patch of
garden adpiiniog the house, they cannot be trusted
■- in it, for. they, might, .by accident, injure papa’s
fcyppte. grape-vine, or. tumble among mamma's !
v flowers, &c., &c.
Thus when at home, children in ninety-nine coses
out of a hundred are repressed and circumvented
on every side, and the distracted mother, (for it is
she who is the greatest home-body) wearied with
scolding and- worrying to keep them out of mis
chief, feels it a great relief, when the school-bell
rings, them off her hands. On the other band, if
the parents are less anxious aboot keeping their
children under their own eye at home, out of
echoql boars, (if indeed the parents do make it a
point to. be :at home with their children at such
- times, which if. not impossible from the more
pressing claims of the store or the workshop, is too
.often neglected for the calls of pleasure,) why
then, the children left.to -themselves, freed from
the supervision of both teacher and parents will
of conrse seek amusement m the streets, with the
certain consequence of moral pollution, imbibed
with an ease, and-a fixedness, that no in door
school book memorizing will avail much to coun
teract or eradicate. The majority of city children,
or may we not say o/l, are by the very conditions
of their existence compelled to use much street
education with their school education. None can
entirely avoid it, let the parents be ever so anxious;
unless they are rigorous even to cruelty m confi
ning their children to the house. It is pitiable
heart sickening to contemplate the amount of
yonthful depravity in our large cities, nay, our
country towns and villages even. One cannot
stand for five minutes near a group of boys at
play, {make the trial almost where he will) with
out being shocked by obscene and blasphemous
language, and by a bearishness, a brutality ami
coarseness of manner - aud behavior indicative of
the most woful neglect in their moral training.
V Grown to youth’s estate, they form those clubs of
organized rowdyism, so fitly seif designated as
“KiUers;?-‘ l ßruisers,” “Bouncers,” “Bats/’&c.; that
are the.terror and.disgraceof some of our cities.
By way of diminishing (not curing) this growing
evil, recourse is bad to Houses of Refuge for the
most flagrant young.offenders. But -why neglect
them ,until proficiency in crime has rendered a
-House of Refuge necessary? Why does not the
- community act as agnardiao to its children from
their earliest infancy—withdraw from them ail
corrupting influences and surround them constant
ly with.all. the conditions promotive of virtaous
development.?: It does not for the simple reason,
that this is utterly impossible, with the present
mode of. life m cities, without • separating the
children almost entirely from the parents. This
would.be avoiding one evil only to fall into another.
How socijilism'wouM manage this matter to the
satisfaction or all parties will bg briefly sketched:

THE DBT GOODS TRADE.
Busmesa in this department is not yet active,
though we notice large preparation by our Job
bers for an early campaign. The several breaks
in the Canal when the water waa first let to, caused
some delay in the receipt of goods, but they are
now arriving in large quantities, and within a very
few days our Dry Goods warehouses will present
to the country dealers more than their usual choice
of styles and fabrics. The Spring styles nre
said to be very attractive, while prices remain at
a standard quite low enough: for either manufac
turer or purchaser. All anticipations of a great
advance in Colton and Woollen fabrics have proven
futile, and these descriptions of goods will rule for
the present season, at a moderate average only,
over the prices of last Fall.
The Anchor and Penn Mills, of this City, are
now offering their Sheetiugs at 8 jc., which is a
falling off of Je. & yard within a few days. This is
owing to the recent, and the anticipated decline
in the price of Colton; an anticipation, however,
which is not warranted by thelalest advices from
abroad. ■ The stock ot this description of goods
throughout the country is not large, and it is
thought that in any probable condition of the
Cotton market, a further decline in prices to any
considerable extent, is not to be expected.
Whatever may be the atale of prices, however,
we think it safe to say that our Jobbers have
shrewdness enough to avail themselves of a rising
market, and to “stand from under” in a falling
one, so that the merchant who relies upon them
for his supplies, may always be sure to stand upon
equal footing with the dealer in any other market.
We hope the day is not far distant when the busi
ness of importing and jobbing dry goods will be
one of paramount importance in our midst.—
Even now many goods are imported direct into
this City, and at the present moment a leading
house is represented in Eurojie by one of its part
ners, who will, doubtless, soon be followed by
others in the trade, to select in person from the
looms of Lyons, of Manchester, and the other
great marts of production, the fabrics best sailed
to their own advantage and the wants and tastes
of their customers. When our Railroads shall be
m operation, we hope to see a large addition to
tbe number of our dry gooods houses, to avail our
selves, with the accumulated energy and capi
tal, oMhe.-vast-trade to be opened up by those
new avenues ot intercourse, of which a large
share should be made to contribute to the pros
perity of Pittsburgh;
The Custom Bouse Appropriation!
Tbe following letter from Mr. Hauftok appears
m tho Gazette of Saturday:
Wabhjhoton, March 5, ISSK
To the Editor cf the Pittsburgh Gazette.
Dcab Sib:—l have the satisfaction-to inform you,
ami tho citizens of Pittsburgh generally, (hat
the appropriation ot seventy-five thouianil dollars for
tho purpose of a site, and erection oT public builds
mgs in our city, has passed both Houses, and is now
a law. Very respectfully, your ob’i sorv’t,
To put at rest all doubts in regard to the passage
of the Appropriation of $75,000 for the erection of
a Custom House in Pittsburgh, we clip the follow*
mg item from the general Appropriation Act, as
published “ By Authority” in the Washington Re«
public of Friday, March 7th :
For purchasingn site andcoounencmg the erec
tion of a suitable building in tho city of Pittsburgh,
Pennsylvania,-for customshouse, post nfßco, court'*
rooms, aod oiher ofnees of the United Stales, tiio
sum of.icventy'lVve thousand dollars: Provided,
• That iiie said building shall be exempted from city
taxes and all other taxes whatever, by tho act of tho
Legislature of Pennsylvania: And Provided/urther,
That the plan of the building shall bo such that tho
whole cost, both of silo and building, shall in no
Gvcnfroxceod the appropriation herein made.”
Site for tbe Custom House.
We wish it to bo distinctly understood, m the
outstart, that, what;wo may now or hereafter say
or publish in regard lo a site for the new Custom
House, will bo our voluntary opinion, honestly ex*
pressed, without suggestions from any quarter. Wo
do not own a foot of real estate in any port of tho
City, and shall not advocate the chums of any mac
; who docs. -
In selecting a location for the Custom House
there are two. important matters, to be taken into
consideration, viz: a central position, and an o&und
ancetf room, to answer all tho wants of the govern*
•ment. :
Wo have reflected upon this subject a good deal,
< and have arrived at the conclusion that the best to*
atxonin City for. the Custom House, is on the Con*
heel of Fifth and Shitiifield Stocetb, at present
occupied by Messrs. Boluxah .& GABUieoß,as &
Foundry. Thece gentlemen havo a lease of the
property> and they no doubt wiil.be willing to give
it up for & fair remuneration, especially when : the
interests ofthe entire community wilt bo- promoted
by the erection of tho bujldidg.in question.
It will scarcely bo necessary for us to offer any
arguments m Tavor of tho abovo: location. Everj
person who has the slightest knowledge ofthe City,
;will ass at a glance that it combines more advanto
.geo than an, other location that con be pointed not-
It.is about ns near.tho centre of busmexs end pop
ulation as it is possible Tor a public: building to bo
in Pittsburgh; nnd Smithfiolil. and Filth aro both
wido streets, which are connected with all the load,
ing avenues ofthe City.
We shall have more to sa, on the subject hero

The prompt, decided und indignant manner in
which the honest Democracy Jup there have re*
pudiated the inexcusable conduct of their unfaith

To E. Harper, Etq.—
Tho propriety a&d expediency of making a Rail

affording a connexion between tho New York and
Eno railroad, and the termination of the Pennsyi*
vama railroad, and the various improvements which
are made, or i& progress of construction from Pitts

“A Wise and fliaiterly Inactivity.*’
Mcaans. Editors Since thn abort) phraso was
used by Mr, Calhoun tn the Senate of the United
Stales, much has boon oaidconccrmng its origin.—
Some havo ascribed it to Mr- Calhoun, some to Sir
J. Mclntosh, and some to Mr. Edmund Burko. -
There is no doubt tho phratfo has been taken from
Holy Writ and us commentators. •. In the 7th verse
ol Uic.SOth chapter of Isaiah, tho Prophet,m speak
ing oL the-projected treaty ofJndah with the Egypt-*
iaus, to resist tho invasion of tho.Assynans, says—
“ For tho Egyptiano nhall help m vain j therefore
have I cried concerning this, their strength is to sit
still.” •. f :
Hero is the essnnco ol the.phrase “ Maolorly In*
activity.” And Scott, commenting on tho abovo
verse, flays:« The wordhero translated strength,is
Rahab, a name for Egypt; and soiqo think that the
prophet meant that Egypt- would mt still; or that it
would be moro for her-interest so to do.”
And Bishop Lowth, commenting on the same,
says ; ‘' Wherefore I havo called her Rahab the Inac*
live.” ' JUSTICE.
