HOT CORN; OR LIFE IN 11IE
"IloT Come ! "Ilere's your nice Hot
Corn, smoking hot, smoking hot, just from
the pot !" Hour after hour, last evening,
as wo sat over the desk, this cry came up
in aloft plaintive voice under our window,
which told us of one of the nays of the
poor to eke out the means of subsistence in
this overburdened, ill.fed and worse-lodged
home of misery--of so many without
moans, who are constantly crowding into
the dirtiest purlieus of this notorious dirty
city,-where they arc exposed to the dilly
chance of death from some sudden out
breakieg epidemic like that desolating the
same kind of streets in New Orleans and
swallowing up its thousands of victims frail
the same class of poverty-stricken, unoom
fortably-provided-for human beings, who
know not how, or have not the power to
flee to the healthy hills and green fields of
the country. Here they live—barely live
—in boles almost as het as the hot corn,
the cry of which rung in our ears from
dark until midnight.
"Hot corn I hot corn 1 here's your nice
hot corn," rose up in a faint child-like
voioe, which seemed to have been roused
by the sound of our step*. ire were enter

were grimmed with dirt until nearly of the
same color. There were ON wlkite streaks
running from the eoft blue eyes,' that told
of the hot scalding tears that wereeoursing
their way over that naturally beautiful
face.
"Some corn, sir," lisped the little suf
ferer, as she saw we liadatopped to look at
her, hardly daring to speak to one who did
not address her:through tones of command,
such as "give me - mune corn, you little
wolf's whelp," or a name still more oppro
brious both to herself andmother. Seeing
we had no look of contempt for her, she
said piteously, "please buy some corn,

As we plodded up Broadway, looting to
here and there upon the palatial splendors
of metropolitan "saloons"—we think that
is the word for the fashionable upper class
grog shops—we almost involuntarily cried
"hot corn," as we saw the hot spirit of that
grain, under the various guises of "pure
gin"—"old rum"—"pale brandy"—"pure
port"—"Heidsick" or "Lager-beer"—
poured down the hot throats of men—and
ah, yes, of women, too, whose daughters
may some day sit at mid,pight upon the
cold curbstone crying "hot corn," to gain
a penny for the purchase of a drink of tlie
fiery dragon they are now inviting to a
home in their bosoms, whose cry in after
years will be "Give, give, give," and still
as unsatisfied as the horne-leteh's daughter.
Again, as we passed up that street;still
busy and thronged at midnight, as a oogn
try village at mid-day intermission of
church servioo, ever and anon, from some
side, street, came up the cry of "hot corn,
hot corn !" and ever as we„liesrd it,, and
ever as we shall through all years to come,

drunken mother, and the "bad man" at . , the

waifs Spirit of "the first, third, or sixth

desiotie evening, to go down among the
abodee of the poor, with a feeling of cer
tainty that we should see or hear something
of the lost voice, for that spirit led us on;
perhaps it was the spirit of curiosity; no
matter, it led, and we followed in the route
we had seen that little one had gone be
fore—it was our only cuc—we knew no
name—had no number, nor knew no one
that know her whom we were going to find.
Yes, we knew that good Missionary, and
she had told us of the good words which
ho had spoken, but would he know her
from the hundred just like her ? Perhaps.
It will cost nothing to inquire. We went
' down Otani street with a light heart ; we
turned into Cross street with a step buoyed
by hope; wo stood at the corner of Little
'Water street, and looked round inqui ringly

scream of despair. We stood still, with

in which we joined, thankful that that was
no longer the abode of all the worst crimes

a step approaches. Our unseen guide
whispered, "ask him." It were a curious
question to ask a stranger, in such a strange
place, particularly one like him, haggard
with overmuch care, toil, or mental labor.
Prematurely old, his days shortened by
overwork in young years, as his furrowed
face and almost phrensiod eye hurriedly
indicates, as we see by the flash of the
lamp upon his dark visage, as he approaches
with that peculiar American step which
impels the body forward at railroad epee 1.
Shall ,we get out of his way before he walks
over us ? What if he is a crazy mall ?
No ; the spirit was right—no false raps
here. It is that good missionary. That
man who has done more to reform that
den of crime, the Five Points of New York,
than all the Municipal Authorities of this
Potioe-hntiting and l'rison-hunting City,

"Yes, yes, sweet little innocent, he is

BROOM CORN AND IVERPINO WILLnWR.
—ln the Mohawk Valley, says the Scien
tific AmerAcan, vast quantities of this crop
are annually grown. Pennsylvania, Ohio
and Connecticut are the next largest pro
ducers of it. Its origin, as a cultivated
plant of this country, is attributed to Dr.
Franklin. It is a native of India. Frank
lin saw an imported whisk 01 corn in the
possession of a lady Philadelphia, and
while examining it as a curiosity, found a
seed which be planted, and from this small
beginning arose this valuable product of
industry in the United States. In the like
manner England and A merica are indebted
to the poet Pope, who finding a green stick
in a basket of figs, sent to Minas a present
from Turkey, stuck it in his garden at
Twickenham, and theme propogated the
beautiful weeping willow.
Luxurious Kissing Described.
Almost any writer CM describe emotions
of joy, anger, fear, doubt, or hope ; but
there are very few who can give anything
like an adequate description of the exqui•
site, heavenly. and thrilling joy of warm,
affectionate kissing. We copy below,
three of the best attempts that we have
ever aeon. The first is by a young lady,
during her first year of courtship:
"Let thy aim twine
Around me like a zone of loee,
Aid thy fond hp, en oft,
l'o mine be passionately ',teased,
A• it bee been so nit!'
The next to by a lady shortly after her
engagement. It will readily be seen Mat
the powers of description are far in ad
vance of the ones quoted above :
"Sweetest love,
Plsce thy dear arm bencaih my drooping head.
And let me lowly nehtic on thy heart;
Then turn Mow soul•lit orbs on tee, and press
My parting lips to last the ceetacy
Imparted by each long cud lingering kiss."
But the beet thing we have seen, is the
following, by Alexander Smith. We think,
howevever, that when a. man so freely
indulges in osculatory nectar as to iota.
gine he is "walking on thrones," he should
be choked off. Hear hint
'•My ■out leaped up benumb thy timid kiss ;
What-then' to , mu went groans,
Or paiW,t wish:lath 1 Earth was a round of blies;
1 WaratarrtintWalit; Qn thrones."
