THE HISTORY OF PROSTITUTION, is the
title of to elaborate work just published by .Harper
Brothers, Franklin Square, New York. W. W. Basses,
IC D. is the author, and the care with which be has
collected and prepared statistko and facts, and the style
in which the work Is written, indicate his extrsofdinary
Burns for the responsible task. It was prepared at the
saggestion of the Almshouse Governors, and laid before
them in the shape of an official Report after two or three
years of careful research sad investigation. it Is
plete "fluttery of Froatabtiose-its *Jana, marts an /Ws,"
mid ezhtbite a lamentable state of morals in the Ameri
can Commercial Metropolis. It is written and submitted
to the Board or Governors, with special reference to
inaugurating a Reform in the prevention or regulation
of Prostitution In New York city. The writer bee not
only collected the facts and statistics of this degrading
vies in New York, but has collated its history from the
earliest ages of the world. He argues with great force,
&dialog Mow, to sac tats his position. that PrOstitlitiOn
cannot be repressed by Prelitibltory laws, and that the
safest policy to promote public health is to regulate it
by law, estatiiish a hospital for the treatment of those
suffering from disease, and encourage associations Gar.
log for their object the reclamation of fallen women.
It appears from the statistics that there are 6000 pub.
lir nrostitutes in New York; a majority are between the
ages of 15 and 15 plant; three-eighths were bola in the
S.; education is at a very low standard among them;
the ratio of mortality among Ilea offspring is - foar times
greater then the ordinary ratio among the children of
New Tool.; the average duration of a prostitute's tine
is only four years; nearly one-half admit they have suf
fered from syphilis; sedttetion, ill treatment parents
husbands or relatives, destitution. intemperance and bad
company are the saki causes of prostitution; women
in the city have not streflcient means of employment and
are not adequately reenanerated; a capital of nearly
$4.000,000 is invested in prostitution; the 1 ex
penditere on account of prostitution is more than $l,
000,000. probi itory measures have signally failed to
suppress or check prostitution; a necessity exists for

who are driven to the lowest depths of infamy by
the cold frowns and harsh treatment of the world
--often of those who, by the ties of relationship,
should make every effort to save the sedated and
fallen from degradation and crime. There are many
wholesome truths and impressive lessons in these pages
which might be read with profit by the beads of families.
Let us hope that it may be productive of good, and impel
legislators to'esact healthy and rational laws for the

JOHN WOLFE'S RICH WIFE!
A CAPITAL STORY.
- -
I was passing Wolfe's store the other day with
* brother book-keeper., when we noticed a very
neat carriage stop et the store, and on- of the
kruttie , o women in New York get out of it.
'There,' said my companion, is John Wolfe's
rich "life. What luck some fellows have in this
world! Born rich thew •elves, they oontinually
gather riches, whsle we pour fellows never can
seem to get rid of the blamed wooden spoon that
Dante Fortune stuck into our unfortunate months
when we came into the blessed world But, rieh
or poor, hang me if I won't httnt up a rich wife,
any how. It is rather mesa buainese to be mar .
ryiog a woman for her money '
'Well, m y good fellow,' said I, 'you happen to
be wide_of the mark this time I know how
John Wolfe got his rich wife, and can ware you
that be did not marry bar for her money; and
moreover, - did not dream of ever getting one tient
with her.'
'Ay,' said he sneeringly, 'all those rich fel
lows pretend that they don't oare anything about
n; but don't think I am quite so green as to be
lieve any such stuff u that. Factssyeak louder
than words, and we all know that ohn Wolfe
has a Soh wife.
'Yes,' I replied, 'and pretty as rich, and good
as pretty, arid loving as good.'
`O, hor be exclaimed, guess you must hare
fallen in love with her, rather a pity you were
married eo long ago; you might have eat out
John, and got a rich wife yourself.'
'Sir a bit of it,' said I; but you shall hear the
whole story if you will come to my house to
night; and while we have our smoke on the pi
ens, I'll sea if I cannot wipe some of the cynic
out of your composition.'
'Agreed,' said be, be with you after sup.
per'
About five years ago, John Wolfe's book keep
er married a nice, pretty little girl, up in his
native village, in Vermont, brought bar sgearai..o.
New Yorkjad •
started Lonse-teeping In a eery
song acreage in Brooklyn. I was invlte4 to the
house warming, a more delightful eveaing does
Dot often checker the dull business of life than
we passed. There were not over a doses of us;
male mad female; but we were old cronies, and
intimate enough to be as free and pleasant to
g' tiler as we would be at home.
The party broke up at twelve, and Mrs. Disk
and myself trotted home, as satisfied with our
evening's enjoyment as need be.
Jura one week after that my wif e told me W i t h
tears iu her eyes, that John Wolfe's book-keep.
er had been guar unwell for 'two days past Rai
not an hour before, bad ouddenly expired, while
bittkug by the fireside, with scarcely a spasm or
a pang. A (Locust?. (,f the bean had carried him
off thus unexpectedly, and his wife was in tern-.
ble suction.
I did not lose a moment in running around to
his house and offering what little sympathy and
assistance it was in my power to bestow; and of
course, took upon myself to do whatever was ne
oessary, on so sad an occasiOti. The young widow
wu terribly ant down, and at snob a distance from
friends anti relatives, seemed more than usually
forlorn. We did all teat we could to relieve her
afflictions, and, after the funeral had taken plane
suiiceeded in calming her grief to some small ex
tent.
I then took the liberty of inquiring a little in.
to her affairs, and discovered that my poor friend
bad involved himself considerably in debt to fur
nish his house for his young wife's comfort; hay
ing purchased every particle of their household
goods upon credit This matter I undertook to
arrange for her; and, by going around among
the various creditors, persuaded the most of them
to take their goods back by my paying them a
small per tentage for their trouble in poking and
fixing. This, however, required the outlay of a
wept(' of hundred dollars, and the flutersl a:-
peewit were one hundred and fifty more, and she
bad nut twenty dollars in the world towards it.
The nest ter.iroing, therefore saw me at John
Wolfe's 'wire; lie had just returned from a busi
ness tour South, and was quite shocked to hear
of his book-keeper's death. I briefly related to
'him the situation in which the young wife had
been left, and the arrangements I had made with
creditors, and awaited hie answer.
'Call at you go home this snouts,' said he,
'end I will steeled to it. lam very busy now.'
Whoa I called in the evening, he handed me
a letter for the wioaow, and, begging ms w let
him know if be could be of any service is the
future, he started for home, and I did likewise.
I left the letter with the widow as I went home
and after supper, Mrs. Dick and myself walked
over to see her, a little (swim's, I must say, to
know the contents of John Wolfe's letter.
I •confess L had never entertained a very favor
able opinion of John Wolfe; he bad always aton
ed t) me overbearing and proud, and looked, I
thought, as *any young men do, who have nev
er known anything of making a living for them-
Belies, and ate eery apt to think that they are
made out of rather superior staff to the reet of
tiN and must be looked up to and smiled upon by
all the world.
Rot I tell you I got a new insight into the hu
man heart when I read that letter. It was with
out exception, the kindest, most feeling, most
ooasoling letter I erdr read—so full of deep gym
patby.l her sudden loss, eo ow:glowing inth cx.

fort her in her sore affliction.
I de not know exactly how it came about, bat,
one letter brought on another, until a pretty
regular correspondence sprang up between them
It happened, also, that that the widow's] father,
who was a retired Lawyer, living on the frugal
savings of a frugal life, was able to confer a
very considerable favor ou John Wolfe'e house,
by saving them from a *evere lose by a dishon
est customer who had andilenlslaken it into ins
head, after a lifetime of honesty, to tern rogue,
sell his goods to a cash easterner who presented
himself just at the right time, and slip off to
California with the proceeds.
A friend of the old lawyer was employd to
draw up the bill of sale, who mectioued to him
c a usuliy, that so and so wia, wilting out and going
to the land of promise; and knowing that this in
dividnal was largely indspted to Wolfe's howls,
he quietly slipped himself off to Now York, by
the first stage without mentioning to any one but
his wife and daughter, where be was going. Ar
rived in New York, be Introduced himself, per_
socially, to John Wolfe, and then preceded to in
form him of the important buisness which brought
him to the city. As the runaway credtor was ex
pected to take the next California steamer, no
time was lost in getting matters fixed, and just
as the gentleman was depositing himself, carpet
bag and plunder, on board the steamer for
Aspinwall, he found himseU rather unexpectedly
oblidged to relinquish his journey and pay a
visit to John Wolfe's store, where after paying
over his fall indebtedness, be was released, only
to be carefully attended to by the rest of bia rath
er anxious creditors.
The whole affair proved a most snooesafial one,
and highly creditable to all parties concerned,
but especially to the young widow's father,
'You see, Mr. °yule,' said I addressing my
friend, 'bow one courtesy begets another?'
For all this important service, the old lawyer
would only scoops his expenses from home and
back—said the jaunt hind been worth something
to him in the exeitemest mod life it had given to
his stagnant blood, and would not take a eent io
cash on any account. John Wolfe managed how
ever, to be upsides with him for all that. The
old gentleman had hardly bees home a week when
a package by express arrived from New York,
duly addressed to his wife, which upon being
opened, disclosed • very handsome silver tea

Things went so for about two years, perhaps a
Ivuer passing between the - parties once a mouth,
and John Wolfe and the young widow almost be
gun oon.rting by letter, without either one baring
yet seen the other.
At last, one warm July, business being some
what slack, John Wolfe took a trip to the White
‘l,,unt a in, for a week or two, and, while there,
beemne acquainted, as travelling bachelors will,
with a party of five young folks—three ladies and
two gentlemen.
The two eldest maples were men and wives,

So, to make the matter plsin to her, he rela

Jane held her head down while ho spoke,

believe, on such occasions.. But Jane's WAS an

had vanished, when looking up to him, her bright
eyes Uri/timing full of joyous tears, she gave him
just one of the sweetest kisses he ever had in his

'For ever and ever,' she cried, 'for ever and

There were jolly times, to be sure, in the old
lawyer's house that week, and when John Wolfe
earned off his little wife to New York, there was
the merriest wedding party in that village that
ever drove dull care out of doors,
Well, said Gay friend Cynie, when I paused,
'now, with all your yam, you have not said cue

' Folks say a good many things, sometimes,
that they do not Lwow anything about,'- said I.
'John Wolfe's wife wail pot worth ten dollars
when he married her, but it happened_that
very soon after her marriage, an aunt of her's in
Boston died suddenly, and as Jane had always
been a favorite of her's, he left her her entire
fortune. I have heard it said it irsit an hundred

A mien is weer polder-hearted than when 'the
sweet south' comet« iu at the window with gushes
of fragrance, and the roves and breezes are blow
ing softly together Somehow it seems that
when the pores are opened, the fire goes out in
the heart, and we put nothing warmer there than
green clusters of fl athery Asparagus.
But wheu the (nest begins to creep up the win
dow-panes, and salver pines deck the 'seven by
nine' as if it were an oriel window, then most
men begin to grew warm round the heart; the
blood recedes from fiogeni-ends to the fountain
and so we hear of deeds that make 'December
as pleasant as Al:
As the dew condenses on leaf and flower, just
where it is needed most, so charity nparkleainto
sight, when wintee rules the year. Generally,
we are better people in January than we are in
June; more thoughtful and owlet, and less pase
sionate and grasping. In summer everybody en
joys the sunshine, even to Diogenes; the frag.
ranee of fields is a universal possession; the boy
whose words and wardrobe are much too soiled
for Heaven, puts his smutty nose through the
fence that bound the riot' parterre, as free of
its perfume, as 'the fair daughter of that house
and heart,' who from the window above those
painted preachers, takes toll of their sweet pray,
era as they go lataysnwszti.
All the world have an equal ownership in the
blessings of summer, and perhaps thetbought of
this renders ns careless and indifferent, for then
Nature's broad band is open and filled. In win
ter, we must be a Providence to etch other; and
our minds are so made, that the curtained room,
the glowing grate and the soft bright air do not
render us forgetful, for the thought vibrates like
a pendulum to the other extremity of the are,
and we remember the broken aed eo rish whs..
(low, the drifted ashes white and as snow
ape(' the dark hearth, and the nails in the bare
floor silver headed with frost. We could not
withdraw a cloud no bigger than a handkerchief
from the sun's face in June, but we can maim a
little summer for somebody in January, with a
bushel of coal and a pair of blankets. It is a
cheap luxury we can enjoy; it is putehasing hap
piness at the lowest of rates.
. The morld is full of a mutilated charity where
the recipient alone is blest; it is a sort of &skll
by deputy, a going to heaven by proxy, a being
happy, as men sometimes are soldiers, by substis
elite. There is pest the difference between the
charity that blesses him that gives as well as
him that takes,
and the alms dispensed by au
agent, that there is between beneficent* and
benevolence: the one. is good wishing, and the
other good doing.
If there be nothing more in charity than just
to keep another from starving or freezing, or
from what is to much worse, that Agar thought
it werth.praying against, 'lest they be poor and
steal,' then charity is not a virtue but only the
'toll' we pay, as we ha-tee on life's way. What
can compensate us for the loss of -the grateful
glance, for the lo of the brightening eye, that
greet and likes the angel with the winter gifts?
The truest charity is its Olen avid, the world
over, a truth beautifully illustrated in the story
of the Irush Sehoelmaster.' He had taken sees
oral lads, for charity's sake, had-given them a
seat by his tire and a share of his food; he had
taught them, even as the birds are taught to
sing. ' without price,' it had lightened his basket
and diminiehed his store. One night he bad a
dream: Leaven was in sight and be was striving
to attain it. Re had piled, so he dreamed, alt
the glei deeds he could think of; nod had clam
bered up the summit, but heaven was yet as
fir off to the poor schoolmaster, as it was to
Dives He heaped up all his learning, and the
alms he had given to the poor in the sight of the
great ceneregation. and still the blessed place
was beyond his resets
He was in despair; all the while he had never
bestowed a thought upon the poor boys be bad
fed and taught. But just then, when Paradise
was fading from his sight, they came and they
made a ladder for the old man, a ladder of bands
and strung arms, and he stepped from the shoal
der of the last of them, lightly into Heaven.—
And snch,ts the charity that blesses him that
gives,
as well as him that takes.
That eccentric physician who prescribed a new
shawl for a complaining lady, and at ones pros
nounced her convalescent, was something of a
philosopher For hundreds of heart-sicken pee ,
pie, the prescription might be varied with the
happiest results, and read, 'an old shawl for a
shivering sister.'
There is no alchemy so potent to kindle the
jewel of content, as a visit to those who are less
blest than we. Would you sake the old faded
carpet look bright as new? Enter the tenement
whose floors art bare, lead the man Was through
the roof. Wceount the blessings that are mu'

evening and on Snnday.,•the adults were instruas
led by leetur. objects, diagrams and books, so '
that the [dee.• soon put on a +wholesale air, quite
unusual in the manufacturing towns of Seethed
or England. As Ow, n instituted, at the same
time, a pollee which though i t was carr i e d on y
without putii-hments, was rigid, his community
was regardef as a model community. He him
self considered it so, and he began to commend
it as'an example for all the earth The late Duke
of Ketit,father of the prtseu&Queen of Gresaßris
taut, became very much interesuel in Mr. - Owen's
experiments, and through his influence the ari•
stoeracy and the clergy of England lent him'
their countenances But, unfortunately, Mr.
Owen connected his scheme for the practical im•
provemeet of the Caking classes with certain
religious and social doctrines, which soon de•
prived him of the support of thee+, eminent or•
dere. Adopting a grossly materialistic theory
of life, he held that men were entirely the eves.
tures of circutestanees, and that all that was see
oeseary for the thorough regeneration of society,
was a change in its external omditiotui. Improve
the circumstances by which the child is 'tartans •
ded, he said: and you improve the child. All
the difference which subsists between the most
polished and kind hearted man of a civilised, and
most rude and cruel man of a barbarous country,.
is a difference in their circumstances. The civ
ilised man, placed in New Zealand, would have
been a savage, and the New Zealand wag;
placed amid the means and appliances of an edur
tutted family of London or Paris, would basis
been a civilized man.
There was enough of truth—and of the most
important truth—in Owen's theory to eonsznewd
it to the attention of the world, and particularly
of the classes for whose - benefit it was specially
intended. He was oonsidered an oracle by them,
and, indeed, the fame which he acquired and the
reputed success of his practical scheme attracted
towards him the regards of sovereigns. The King
of Prussia, we think it was, sent for him, and'
consulted him in respect to the establishment
and management model villages in Prussia. He
lived also on terms of familiarity with the&
of France, and he made several voyages to
00, at the request of the government, to Win
dues his reforms into that country. On one - of
these visits be requted from the Mexican alai•
'try the control of the states of Coahuila and
Texas, for the purpose of testing his system of
social organisation on the largest scale. Bat as
those provinces were not within the gift of the
ministry, they offered him as an alternative, a
district of some 150 miles on the Pacific coast,
north of'the Gulf of California. Mr. Cess, for
some reason or other, did not accept it, and it
is curious to remark that if he had, the gold
mines of California wouiti probably have, beau
discovered twenty years before they were, -and
Mr. Owen become the richest man in all the
world.
