He who checks a child with terror.
Stops its plav and stills its song,
Not alone commits an error.
Hut a great and moral wrong
Give it play and never fear it,
Active life is no delect;
Never, never break its spirit,
Curb it only to direct.
Would you stop the flowing river.
Thinking it would cease to flow ?
Onward it must flow forever;
Better teach it i chu t to go.
A Pretty Thought.
The night is mother of the day.
The winter of the Spring,
And ever upon old decay
The greenest mosses cling.
Behind the cloud the starlight lurks;
Through showers the sunbeams fall;
For God, who loveth all his works,
Has left His hope with all!

The Eleventh Ward.—This Ward, extending from
Rivington street, on the south, to Fourteenth street, on
the north, and from East River to Avenue B, contains
probubiv 350 acres*. Its population in 1850 was 43-
7 . e—at present it is estimated at 45,000. number of
children between the ages ot five and sixteen in this
Ward, is reckoned at 12,000 —of whom only 7,000 at
• -1 -i hooL ami onlv 2,000 go to Sabbath school. The
r .. iming 5,000 children are mostly ranging the streets |
without attv restraint. About 2,0u0 persons make it
heir s>ie business to glean bones, rags, and garbage j
iriii'he streets. The are over 200 children who ate]
chip-oa.ht.rers, and who earn their living by selling j
chips gathered from the dock-yards. From 100 to 150
b< s are kreiwn personally to the police to live excltt
sivelv bv thieving and petty pilfering. More than 1> *
ojr| prostitute* are well known in this Ward—the ol- I
:e<t not seventeen, and the youngest not over eleven j
rears of age. There are in it 4-V‘ grog-ships, of which
hi are licensed. They average a business of $lO per
Jav —making, if the estimate be correct, more than *i-
Pmsn. siient annually in that little district for ardent
-oilits! Within the lasi two ‘ears there have been 800
arrest* of children under eighteen, and 800 of women,
in the Ward.
We have established a Bovs’ Meeting in this quarter,
in Avenue D, near Eighih street, with a view of gain
ing an influence over the boys; and some benevolent
ladies have just started, in the same place, a “Girls’ In
dustrial School.”
The vagrant bovs of the “Eleventh,” according to all
civ observation, are a sharp set. They know very lit
tle of books, but a great deal of the worst part of the
world. They tipple, they smoke, they gamble, and
have their haunts where “fast living” goes on. if. not
very elepuntly yet quite as rapidly as could be* desired.
Those who thieve, usually go in gangs and employ a
small lad as “a feeler’’—i.‘e. he is sent ahead, and if a
piece of cloth or a basket or any little article is lying
t in front, he pockets or clutches it and carries it to
the older boys, who sell it at once at the junk-shop* and
share the sitoils among themselves It they are seen,
while thus “on the lav,” as they call it, they scatter,
and the little boy alone is usually caught, and of course
h t off as too young for punishment. Pieces ot copper
and nails, and'similar stuff in the dock yards, are favor
ite game—for which again they always find a ready
market, in that curse of the city, the Junk-shop.
Thev have slang names for one another, by which
ther pass, as “Skivvery,” “Horsy,’ “Hussy, Ac., Ac.
Sue of them will go off to the ends of the city, the
si on boat landings, Ac., to smash a trunk, as they say
—that is, to carry baggage. They are continually get
ting themselves into the station-houses, and the excuse
thev always make is, they “cannot get no work. The
P lice have known of repeated instances of boys apply
ing at even dock-yard and factory in the neighborhood
fcr Work, without success, and then resorting to thiev
ing These bovs, it must be remembered, never had a
hutiie, except perhaps a drunkards cellar. Nobody
ever cared for them. They have found many more kicks
than blessings thus far in life.
Our ble-sed Christianity might as well have been in
the muon, so far as they have derived any benefit from
i’ ‘ton dor, oovertv, bitter abuse, filthy language, temp
tation:. infinite to evil, have been the iutiueiice which
have educated them. What could we expect but such
And vet there is many a good and generous thing
i-.mg these young vagnuits
The bov <4 ou the lnv who would not stiinil nis
comrade in asera f e, would find the “Eleventh too hot
for him. They do, too, the most of them, try to work.
But what chance has an outcast boy, without parents
f friends, for a place in anv respectable employment ?
VT e know of one of them—a’ little apple and match ped
lar, making his three dollars a week—tramping the
streets through all the cold days of early winter, with
out -Li os or stockings so that his old mother might
have the earnings for lier rent. God bless the little fel
low! Perhaps the books which shall hereafter reckon
up our acts for good and evil, will not show many a more
Rtanlv deed with the best of us.
It is very evident, and very encouraging, too, that
ur -Bovs’ Meeting” gets hold of them. They come
Sunday after Sunday, when there could be no possible
motive but one of conscience; they listen, too, and, as
ye hear, talk over the speeches and stories. The po
lice tell 11s they already see good results from it.
This “Girls’ Industrial School, of which I have spo
ken, is but just started in this Ward. The ladies en
gaged iu it, are from the most respectable families in the
City, in position and character. They come over every
dav, in all weathers, some two miles, to help these little
ragged outcast girls to an honest living.
A regular teacher is employed to oversee the children,
and teach them the common branches —while the
laiias instruct them in sewing and similar work.
Next week, they design to begin a regular paying
trade, for which the work is already engaged, under a
competent journey woman, so that the poorest of these
street girls will have an inducement to come in. A
healthy, substantial meal, too, is given the children on
the premises. The first day, they sent away forty-five
applicants, as not of the class whom they wished to
help. We visited the school yesterday. There
about forty girls in it from ten years of age to fifteen
just the subjects for their enterprise—little bright eyed
German rag pickers, p*>ck-marked Irish children, young
vagrant girls for ihe first time, to their delight, iu a
pl-.isent school-room, learning something. All clean,
-• ne showing the sad marks of others’ vices and bru
tality. but most with the soft hlootn, the round cheek
the changing bright eve and laugh, which only many
years of sore poverty and filthy influences and low vice,
can utterly wi[>e a wav from the young girl's face.
1 chatted with the little rag and bone pickers, and
found they ccnld hardly say enough, how they liked
it “ Now we can learn to sew and knit; and, she siys
‘■V -.'ill learn s* raw-sewing, and then mother says, we
*h ill no more go around in the mui for lumpen
In company with some of the ladies, I went afier-
w ’ H-to the colonies of rag-pickers in Sheriff street,
wd ‘‘College Place,” Third street, to recruit for the
N 'l” ’l. These were all German, and the lumbers said
ili. ;. 1 ere very glad of anything which would give ilie
‘‘"I” ones a chance, without their ranging the streets:
“ But we must make out a living, and we cannot afford
‘•■ud children to school, if they do not earn anything.”
In the Third street Colony, I met one little street

s .e in is: keep her at work some day s iu the week.
E’ ®*ywh-re, iu the same manner, among a popu a
tion wn.ch almost supplies the vagrant girls and young
prostitute* of the city, we ioiiud not only a willingness,
but ail eagi r desire, to put the children iu an honest
business.
It is a wretched population—that of the Eleventh—
fr ibe most \ oil would think yourself in an old
German city. The lower part of Houston street, Sheritl’
street, and W illet street, is always damp and foul with
stagnant water and refuse, like a back street in Nun
betg or 1 ragiie. There are the same old German signs,
the long bread-loaves in the windows, the lager-bier
shops, ihe pipes, the women carrying heavv burdens
ami doing men’s work, and the multitudes of childr< u
p.aaing or workiug about, without any care or restrain'.
There are pleasanter signs, too, of foreign stock—pure
white curtains even in the beer saloons, and occasional
ly a graceful and pretty’ plant in the windows of a 1110s
proverty-stricken dwelling. The people look verv
|x sir.
\\ c take it for granted that every Christian man and
every human inau would gladly do his share to reform
such districts iu our city. It is a matter of interest to
every citizen that a population like this should not grow
. up to endanger public security, or burden with its ex
panses our over-taxed community. It is a solemn du
ty, not to be avoided, in every one who professes to fi i
low Christ to help these, his poorest and weaker breth

A Iloosierat the St. Louis Ball.
Those who were at the brilliant mask and fancy dress
ball at the St. Louis Hotel will, doubtless, remember the
Iltxisier who excited so much amusement by his queei
rental ks and determination to exchange his turnips aud
notatoe* tor a quantity of calico to take up to his swee -
h‘*art Sally. The following letter from him, addressed
to her, which accidentally came into our hands, will be
relished by’ those who were there and those who were
not:
New-Orleaxs, March, 18,'3.
J/y T>e.ir Sally—airay up in Sleepy Halter, in the Green
Jlicer country:
I now take my pen iu hand, to tell you I arriv in this
tarnal big Town, day before yisterdav. I would have
writ you afore, but I seed and heard so much that i
haint had no time to write nor do nothin else. Artei
lookin .mmid here a sjtell, to ax into trade for “ nips
and punkins,” some of my friends axed me to go to the
grand fancy ball, whar they sed thar was lots of funny
things to be seed, and whar maybe I could sell my nips
and punkins. At fust 1 did not want to go, kuse 1
promised you afore 1 left on my boat “Sally Nipper,”
1 would not go to any place which was ondeacent, but
my friends said this was the deacentest place in town
ceptin the church, so I promised them to go, es they
would let me go nateral. They sed I could not go nut
eral adzuctly, but if I would dress up and put 011 a doe
face that would do.
I put on my best “ bib and tucker,” a standiu collar
and a spankin new hat, a nice pair of breeches and my
new coat, for it is most new, as I haint worn it but a
leetle more than three years on Sundays, with my shiny
shoes, and bran new neck hankercher, I looked as nice
as a town dandy, onlv- I did not have hair on my fate
like a monkey.
When 1 got to the great big house they call the Saint
Louis, I found every thing as tine as a fiddle and a beep
finer. They had two great big rooms, larger than foui
of lather Spriggins’s churches. The candles were all
lit, the biggest bed spread you ever seed was nailed
down on the floor to walk on, they bad fastened great
long beitces covered with silk cushions. They had pieces
of shiny silk to hang down over the winders, I spose to
keep folks from lookin in, and a beep more things be
sides. It would make half the women iu Green River
country fools es I was to tell em about em, for they
would not rest till they had seen em, and then they
would not be worth a cuss arterwards, for they do say,
nearly every woman that comes to this town, gets her
head sat tarnationallv turned that cheese, tlnd eggs, but
ter and patch in breeches, becomes unhandsome iu her
eyes.
I got to the ball about half arter 8 o'clock, most time
to go to bed at home, and if you believe me, no body
wer’ut there vet. So I went into the great big room,
felt like a fool you know, but 1 tuck a seat to sec how
things was. I got tired settiti after a spell, and went
up to a very tine lookin gentleman, and axed him it 1
inoat walk about some. This gentleman 1 arterwards
found out was the Great Capting Twiggs. The capting
is a good sould, and telled me it was no harm to go
where I pleased. I promised him not to dirty the spread
on the floor, but kept close to the edges.
Arter walkin round a spell, holdiu my mouth open I
spose, I was taken with an awful notion to spit, but tber
wernt the fust place to spit on, so 1 axed one of the
managers whar I inout spit, and he sed 1 mout spit in
the corner es I would pull up the spred; but when I
went to pull up the spred I found it all nailed down
hard and fast, so arter so long a time I had to go away
down stairs outside the house to the road just to spit,
for I knowed it wernt genteel to be spittin on folks’
spreds or walls.
trier I had suit I come back just as the music struck
up. \ou never heard or seen somuen music an in one
pile in your life ; it beat the circus all holler. There
was fifes and fiddles, brass horns and every’ thing, and
the way thev pulled their jaws and worked their arms
was a sin to Moses.
Presentlv, bv and by, I seed several fellers dressed
all kind of funny ways, jest pitch at some gals standm
dose bv, like a bumble-bee on a flower. They grabbed
em round the waist, and flung em round and round like
thev war agoin to dash ther brains out agin the wall.—
The poor gals I pitied ’em, and expected every minit to
hear ’em squall mini enuff to wake creation, or ther dad
dies, es thev war asleep up stairs. They war taken, as
I sposed, so suddenly and skeered so bad they could’nt
even holler, but jest fainted away, and droped ther heads
like a withered collard leaf, right on the shoulders ol
the fellers that grabbed ’em, and then the fellers took
advantage of ther faintin away and hugged ’em as tight
as thunder. The fact is, es I was to give an opinion, I
should suv the gals’ ribs war so much bruised they
>uld not ware ther dresses fastened for a week arter
wards.
You know I am uaterly a tender-hearted man, and
felt for the gals very much indeed ; now don’t git jel
ui*, Saliv, tor I did’nt feel for the gals like the tellers
who had hold on ’em, for they felt ’em round the waist,
and 1 felt for ’em pity in my heart. I had my old hick
ory stick along, and was a great mind to wallop the fel
lers and make ’em let the gals loose; but I thought a>
f was a stranger I had better not be n.ixin 11 things 1
didn't know much about, and so jest walked away and
talked to some of the genteelest ladies I seed in the
room.
The ladies war sittiu away back as es they didn t
want to have anything to do with sich carrying on; when
1 told ’em mv notions on the subject they said they
thought jist like me about the thing, but they told me
the fellers did not grab the gals agio ther wills, and tha’
the whole thing was a fashionable dance which is called
the Porker. That the gals instead of faintin, as I
snosed from fear, was jist as fond of bein hugged as the
fellers was of hoggin em, and that when they droped
ther Lead* on the tellers’ shoulders they was only lean
in up to ’em, I spose, upon the same principle that a
cat leans tip to you when you scratch her back. They
*ed though, es it warn! that thar was more in tavor of
huggiu than agin it, they would like to see me wallop
’em a little with my stick ; as it was, l had best not to
hitch in. But they one and all sed, es ever they had
>wls to come to this town, and I was here, they hoped
I would wallop every feller I cought hoggin ther dar
ters. I promised ’em I would, and I will, jist as sure
as mv name is Ben. .
So"soon as the music sloped, the huggin sloped too,
and tho fellers and gals sorter run in the crowd as it
thev war ashamed, and forgot to blow out the candles
afore they commenced the huggin, however they got
over it very soon, and everybody got so mixed up that
vou could not tell “ tuther front which.”
Thar war more curious lookin people thar than you
ever seed in all your life. Thar was kings and queens,
soldiers and sailors, old witnmin and young wiinmiu,
long noses ami short noses, big eyes and little eyes, in
fin t they beat all the picter books you ever seed.
Arter thev’ had mixed about a spell, a squad of the
dancin folks came to talk to me about things, for I reck
on 1 looked as green to them as they looked curious to
me. They axed nte how I liked the dance, and I told
’em adzactlv my opinion about it. They seemed to
think I was * quar old case, to see any harm in two
young folks huggin each other. They sed “it would
vr ike up the young idea and teach it how to shoot, and
that it Ltd tine developing powers,” Ac. I told ‘em so
far as I was concerned, 1 would rather the young idea
should sleet) from sun-rise till bed time, rather than be
t tt .ht to shoot in that manner, and as to developiu the
powers, I did not know much about that, but es they
would sav deveiopin things, 1 would agree with em.
One of the gals jist turuetl up her nose, and sed I was
“a musty,old-timv feller, ’ and seemed mighty horrified
ka-e I had a liule grease >i>ot on my coat about as big
as the palm of your hand “Madam,” says I, “ I may
be mustv, kase’l haint been churned up and down for
a halt hour like you have been to-night, and as to the
sj*>t of gterse on my coat sleeve, it Inout as big by halt
as the one vou made on that feller s shoulder when vou
•.wre lavia in his arms jist now in the dance; besides
v oar's got flour mixed with it, aud mine haint.” This
kinder got her, for she had let her haodkerchcr slin
from under her chin while leanin agin the feller’s shoul
der, aud left a tarnation great spot of grease and flour
there. This 1 have been told U very common in sich
dances, and is considered a great God-sead to tailors
and w ashers.
I had a heep more jist sich talks as this with the dan,
cin folks, when away late at night they told me supper
was readv. I went iu and tuck a seat, but I a>uht not
get anything I could eat. I axed for bacon and cab
bag'. for b es and “ nips,” pork and lieans, and all sich
g<KKi dishes as we have in the Green River country, b .t
the fellers who waited on the table sed they did not
have anv sich tilings, hut they had a ltcep Other things
j with quar names, which I would uot eat, kase the}
mout have pizen iu ’em Several good lookin gentle
men axed me to drink with’em. They poured some
bdin stuff out of a bottle, which I blowed till it gut
c *l, and then <b uik it. It as cd better than cidet
and made me feel very good indeed. I went to_ the
kitchen then arter some punkiu pie, but the waiters
said there wera’t any thar, and I had as well go back,
so back I went, and seed a beep of quar things I haint
time to write you about—left for the “Sally Nipper
about 3 o’clock, and slept till sunrise.
I have been trviu ever since to sell iny load of “ nip
aud punkins,” and get back to you again.
