The Philadelphia Times reports a moat painful
case of misery and destitution : It says that a ye.
ry nice, civil, sensible 'slaking, decently clad, and
apparently hmspirate man of awl '45 years of
age, respectable in appearane , , active, neerty and
hale in body, app,eared 'before the Alderman and
staled that he had a coMplaint to make against
himself of an intent to commit a felon 7, and ask
ed for a commitment tipm such askew—thathe
had been out of employment for ight , montla—
had spent his last dollar, and 'disposed of every
thing he had in the world, except the clothes he
had on—that he had tried in vain to get work, and
couldn't succeed—and sccing,nothing encouraging
in the prospective, could thigk of no other alterna•
Live to relieve his neceseaties but to perpetrate a
:obbery, and to snatch Is' mself from this tempts
tion to crime, he made the application he did to
the magistrate. The. Alderman, as well cars be
imagined, expressed great surprise at conduct
seemingly so extraordinary in -a man of aspectso
favorable as hie, and asked him if he had ever been
subject to fits of mentll derangewnt. His an-.
ewer was dis'inetly in the negative—and ho went
on to sly that he was fully aware of the astonish -
went his hchaviour must necessarily excite, as
well as sensitively and keenly alive to the delica
cy and' peculiarity of his Situation; but that he had
lived upon his means till they were all exhausted
—he was $1.6 in arrears fur b ar4for Thies debt
he had given a note ot - another man, that he h eld
in amount much more th an
, the debt—tbat his
friends werecall as poor as himself and unable to
take care of him, and that nia pride would not suf
fer hifii to go to the Alms Housip-;• - -"fur," said-be,
"in the poor-house I will be tiposed—in the soli"
tam cell of the prison, 1 shall-neither see or be
seen." The Aldermaes asked hini - Tor how long a
period he wished to :b e committed. He raid he
would like to remain in prison, until next March
or April, as he thought "things by that time might
take another turn." He was furnished with a
commitment under the vagrant act fur thirty
days.
We put some questions to the unfortunate man.
and ascertained that he was a machinist by trade,
had worked last spring in one of the largest facto
rice here, and had lost his situation by the break :
ing up of the establishment—was a native of
New England—htqwife had deceased—he had a
child id - Massachusetts, and domestic affliction and
poverty had almost broken his heart; yet still, with
the finest t‘!elinge of human nature, he had the
heart of a mat —while his l `utterance was chocked,
t here was a determination in his every look. Poor
man, when he left the magistrate's office with his
commi fluent in his hat, he looked the picture of
mental suffering, but his step was firm. We nes'.
er in our life had our.teelingivso worked upon.
