A few years Pass around and she is a sweet bouncing little girl attending Sabot; so tiatlx pared that the teacher dare not reprove her for any dereliction of study. Her hair is greaeful ly curled. She is taught to be proud and . haughty, Her natural beauty heightened by a thousand artificial aide and appliances. A sweet little girl too proud to learn, too haugh ty to receive instruction, she soon leaves the school-room and seeks the fashionable circle. Next the is the bride decked in gay and tin selled attire, blooralng 1n health and revelling in unalloyed enjoyment. Her heart has never felt a grief, her eyes have never been relden edVth the tears of sorrow. She vle*a the world as a paradise and her Conipanions as angela. But, alas, soon a change is to come over her dreams of happinesia We next find her a destitute widow, bereft of all that could make her happy and comfortable in life. Her only protector Is gone from her never to return. Perhaps he lies a mangled Corps upon the ensanguined battle-field. The friends of her youth are scattered through the wide world, and none are left to.sympathire with, or to•' assist her. Poverty and want send terror to her heart and spread a gloom over her once bright and beautiful countenance. She is now induced by a false friend to foster her visitor for the means•of subsistence. She falls to rise no more. She shuns the associa tions of the past. She seeks concealment in the dens of iniquity. The heart becomes callous to moral impressions. She mourns her fall but seeks not to retrieve It, and if she thereare none to help her. She drowns her bitternessin the intoxicating bowl, saunters forth, inebria ted, and is picked up from the street and pro tected by the walls of ;gloomy prison. Audi is life. Such the checkered scenes that marks the pathway of too many unfortunate females among us. How true the lines of Long fellow: "Never stops the staring vulture, On his quarry In the desert, On the sick and wounded Bison, But another Vulture follows, From his high, aerial lookout. —So disasters come not singly, But as if they watched and waited. Scannlg one another's motions, First a grief comes, then a sorrow, Till the heart is rent with anguish Destitotion.—The local of the Franklin Re pository writes thus —At the Jersey City De pot, a poor girl, dressed in tawdry finery, at tracted, doubtless, by the benevolence of our counter ance, walked up to us, us of the RE POSITORY, saying, "Oh, sir, won't you pay my passage to Philadelphia. I have no money, and I want to go home to my mother." We conde scended to look at het. She was not ill-looking, apparently not over eighteeln, but dissipation had left Its ineradicable marks upon her girlish face. Our first impulse was to pull out our wallet awl from its scanty store to cull the required sum, but looking around we saw the stern, calm eyes of Aire. Grundy fixed upon us. With a glance of disdain we .turned from the pleading look, thoulhnot before we observed two big hopeless tears starting Into the.hollow eyes, and took our seat tithe oar. The pleading look followed us. We shut our eyes and still saw It ; we tried to read, but It forced itself between our eyes and the page. For the life of us we could not help reciting to ourselves, keeping time to the revo lutioti of the wheels : "Otte mote tuatortunate, Weary of breath, Rashly importunate, cone to her death ! Suppose that In despair ahe should drown her eel!, would t}od hold us responsible, when three dollars might have saved her 1 Disquesne Way.--it is a remarkable fact that one of the busiest thoroughfares of our city is net paved, and yet the fact must certainly be known, at least to the citizens of the 4th ward. Duquesne Way, from Irvin to St. Clair sheet has not a boulder on it, and the water that runs from the sewers In Scott'a alley,aettlee in a pud dle upon the street and makes the mud intolera ble. And this is not the only nuisance on thfs street, but oil barrels are placed upola the limits Minim; this street, partially blockading the passage. The part of the street that Is boulder ed Is almost worn out, and, as this Is the great oft depot of the city market, it would be well to make". completely paved street out of Duquesne Way, and keep the oil restricted to the wharf. If the authorities are not satisfied with our statement, let them go and examine for them selves. In dry weather the street may answer the purples of travel, but when it is wet, it is, as we have stated, a nuisance. Borough Officers.—The Democracy of Etrolaubtug elected the .
