I will relate an incident that occurred, I
Borne time siuee, at tbe House of Industry, !
and which serves as a fair sample of daily j
occurrences there.
One morning an aged lady, of respect-
able app.rancCj caUel at the Mission
House and tn.mired for -Mr. Pease. Shi
was told that he M engaged, and asked
if some one else would not do as well.
She said respectfully, No ; uiy business
is with hiin ; I will wait, if you please,
till ho can see me."
Mr. Pease immediately came in, when
the old lady commenced her story :
" I came, sir," said she, " in behalf of
a poor unfortunate woman and three cbil

Yes, she was " Mary's " mother. Pov

J r. 1 case promised that he would do ;
!all he could, and sent a person out with
the old lady, to visit " Mary," and obtain
'fuse of humanity. The basement is lighted
with two small windows half under ground j
and in this wretched hole lived Mary and
her children. As Mr. Pease descended
the steps into the room, he heard some one
say, " Here he comes, grandmother I he's
come he's come I"
The door was opened. On a pile of rags
in the corner lay Mary, " my Mary," as
the old lady tearfully called her.
God of mercy! what a wreck of beautiful
womauhood ! Her large blue eyes glared
with maniac wildncss, under the influence
of intoxication. Long waves of auburn
hair fell, in tangled masses, over a form
wasted, yet beautiful in its graceful out-
lines.
Poor, lost Jlary !
".Siu'-A a place !" as her mother had,
weeping, said. Not a table, or chair, or
bedstead, or article of furniture in it, of
any description. On the mantle-piece
stood a bccr-bottle with a half burnt can
dle iu its nose. A few broken, dirty dishes
stood upon the shelf, and a quantity of
filthy rags lay scattered round tbe floor.

There is a curious but indisputable fact ; ig the free air for a couple of hours daily,

cnt condition and appearance, as a nation
of men, women and children, in which wc

The Lobby Keiaberi
The overplus of twenty-five or thirt
millions iu the United Suits Treasury is
looked upon as a spleudcd nriia b all th

political gamblers about the eouutry, and
a desperate attempt will be made at the
next sessiou of Congress to gut hold of the
money in some specious form or other,
miscalled improvement or public good.
A correspondent of the Ueiald, writing
from Washington says :
