Toil ke linn iucludee a eery comprehensive tubject, which we intend to exhibit brief It uuibla. da oat, bj thit couuection ul pjverty tad crime, Ub. lo convey the idea that they ar by lay meant tjuouywont or coeval, though, very freqiently one results from the othw.

lnumach both produce wretchedness ud tuKsriug, to consider them in connection it inappropriate. At Lrst, oar design wa to elect certain porlion of the city ft containing tulficient material for oar purpose. How. twit, opoa personal observation, we discovered, what partially knew before, that the eoinbre scene of city Jifa are restricted to no defiuitalo' eality. They abound ia various quarters, as if regardful not to nanteate the heart by ft too great aud suddeu display of misery and vice.

Uousideriug its population and rapid increase, Ciuciuoali contains, iaall probability, less pjv-erty and distress thai other cxtensire cities. Still, it baa, Heaven knowtl au abundant share. As to immorality and crime, tho reputation it has acquired ia, we are apprehensive, ouly too well deserved. Ca loudness have we tor txag- era'. ion.

To represent candidly and truthful. out diflorosst so oar aim, especially ia the preeent instance that the evils referred to may be corrected. Those who stroll ibroiieh oar handsome and well built streets, overflowing with the high tide ot. commerce and enterprise, scarcely itn agine there are human beings within the sound of this noise and bustle, enduring agouy from disease and poverty, and none alleviate tbiir Buttering, (jau IDvy suppose, while Ksglog ail miriugly opon the sumptuous equipages, rolling: luxuriously by with tbeir more luiuriuus in mates, absolutely encumbered by nselese eitrav agauce, and upon the attractive passing forms round with health and sparkling with btautv, thai huuoreds are wasting away by life-eousuui iog toil aud pallid penury, with ail her host of woe1 It la not Dal ural they should. Do the glittering creatures themselves know of the misery that surrounds them? The most natural question may be ill-timed.

To answer one question, another may be asked: Do they card Could the heavy folds enveloping and at if -fling the miseries of our city be toru aside, the eye of the beholder would involuntarily close with the horror of the spectacle. Of what human nature is capable for good or for evil might then be detected; bow it could be corrupted, degraded and bestialiied, how purified, elevated and made holy, treats daily and hourly occur in our midst which, related or reported, coul I not but disgust feelings the coarsest and must obtuse. To these of course we shall nut refer. They are left to the imagination of the reader, or can be deduced from whit falls nrnnnrlv within tho ranirn nf nnr There are strange and shocking contrasts in a citv like this, slraoge because they have existence; shocking, becHUse they are permitted to exist. Look hereeyid there, and Heaven and Hell can scarcely be more different.

Suddenly removed from one to the other, yon would not believe yourself in the same world. Life often is not life, even with woe its constant companion. Substance and shsrlow are not more inseparable than they. But there are degrees many and distant in the time of uncertainly tvA iucouiistencv, we denominate life. The dark sides we now pn-pose to showdark and drear indeed, but fearfully real.

I Wilt accept of our guidance, enduring reader! Come then and we will conduct jou through a I iMirtion nl tho srrin hav ira.l I alone anil in the counpiny of those whose custom it is to setk out aud assist the needy. These are but mis-formed and poorly expressed; those were the rigid realization of the manifold miseries mankind is doomed to suffer. None can be fully sensible of the amount and en- of human wretchedness, uutil they have been brought lace to face with Its repulsive existence. That is a stately mansion, and wealth and comfort, aud youth and beauty are abi-den there. Au humbler tenemeut the small frame adjoining dingy in appearance and antiquated.

It looks but little Ir its aristocratic neighbor, aud yel the rays of tbe morning suu come slanting as bright and abundant upon its homely roof, as upon the loftier aud elegant pile. The heavens make no social iliatiuetifDi; uot so the world.

A Arouud bis low pallet are grouped a sorrow-stricken wife and two small children. Four there were, but heaven, in mercy, removed two thither. The children weep; but the mother's ears have dried by long aud burning giiet. An ftttonv there is. whose intensity eve drnrw trace: such is hers!

The husband, a man of tai entand education, ren oved with his family to the West, where he believed a bettter propec would be opened to him. -II could obtain, after his arrival, none but snrntal employment, and this but rarely. Hit lavd lot he bore nn-complaiuingly.

Hit delicate wife labored be-joud her strength, but had ever a smile to welcome him. A heavy blow fell npon them; their children went to dwell with God. They were bevoud all care, and the parents in this, obtained consolation. Then, the father could no longer find those who needed his services. He would work for half the pittance he before received; but he was not wauted.

Every day he sought thronghont the city for a situation, how-ever toilsome, however humble. He wrote some beautiful verses, which were published, though he could get no remuneration for them. Worn out by bodily and mental exertioo. he was compelled to seek a few days rest. From his lowly bed be never rose but bis spirit did, cloe followed by his gentle wife's, far up above the theeny fields, whose blossoms are the start.

It thit ft fancy sketch? It la copied from life. Up, op this decayed staircase, and carefully, lest it msy give way beneath your tread. Stoop low aa yoa enter tba broken doorway, or you may crack your hat and head into the bargain. Save this upper nparttnent, the honse ia entirely deserted, its crumbling appearance Induced the other indigent iumates to move out. Wretched must be they who wonldor could inhabit an abode like this.

You have heard tbey are extremely poor, and suffering for even food. Enuring the darksome room, yon cast a rapid glance around, and start wildly back. The atmosphere is noisome, and the barren squalor within more than job expected. But your n-forinere are mistaken. Ho oe suffers here.

All is qniet and peaceful, and the wretched rest. Upon the filthy 'planks, partially rotten way, lie three dead bodies dead for many days. Hunger and sickness attacked them, and they could neither move or ery for essiatauee. Through the long days and interminable nights, thev lav and saw each other die. Groan an swered groan, and moans of bodily torture impregnated the midnight air, which harried away iroin the horrid place, aa if frightened by the appalling spectacle.

A storm gathered black aud fearful; the old house shook, and in the midst of its fury, the three souls were swept on the rushiug gale into the fathomless gulf of eternity. As your footstep wakes the dreaary echoes of this mournful place, a score of huge rata are disturbed from their daily feasting, and hurry from the banquet ol tbe dead, lbe letid odor from the bodies, and their mangled and decomposed state' strike full upon your senses, and, ith a sense of faintnes that momentarily in creases, jou siuaiDio aown me narrow stairs into the purer atmosphere, and think of what yoa btve witnessed as i horrid dream. While walking briskly, and striving to banish the baleful images adhering to your memory, you parhani encounter doten of extravagantly at tired ladies, chatting and laughing as gaily as if the world contained not tingle sorrow. Yoa cannot resist the reflection, had they beheld what you have, they would be in no mood for mirth. Care seems never to have shaded with his passing wing their bright faoea; yet what better are they than tbe poor unforluuates you so vividly remember? Wiih a quarter of the value of their rich handkerchiefs, three vie-tiins could have been snatched from the great Destroyer.

Do these bedizened butterflies waste a thought upon the pooii We fear not. Balls, and parties, and concerts crowd their braius, to the txcliuion of aught like charity. Charity is for old women aud sentimental maidens, disappointed in love. When they become either, they may perad venture drop a quarter in the old man's hat, ho sits during the summer npon me irusi tympany Bun pavement. Look into that desolate cellar noon that at tenuated woman, clad in rags, with five half famisned children about her crying for food.

How ofteu is niitbt's silence broken by the discharge of fire-arms, piercing shrieks, and wild cries of murder! Not long i hey vibrate upon the stillness. All's quiet now. Gloomy alleys, heavy shutters and weather-worn walls, in the centre and outskirts of the city, shut out from sight vast amount of vice. If so much be evident and scarcely under concealment, what must be it character and volume behind the curtain, tenanting the seen from tbe unseen worldl Peep into yonder garret through oar pen-marks. If yoa made the attempt actually, yon would add another to tbe victimi of fatal curi-osity.

It is of the lowest brothels of the town. Btoeath the same roof, the most unnatural and revolt, Crimea arecommitteJ crime that should wii at the pure light of Heaven. The inmates it- frequenters are tank to the lowest depths vi degradation; and intemperance and the rt of vices have rendered them walking pMhiencet, poisoning the atmosphere with their ptfiierout breath. Creature there are on earth, woom to call mankind would be a libel upon ourxslveat whom to term animals, degrading to the meanest brute. Into such bannta of infamy, young girlt are frequently entice who, by dtgreea, become habituated the abandoned lite ex the strumpet.

If they refute to yield, force employed, and then the poisoned cup or the assas sin a blade. Mysterious auappearances at ie- males hsve now and then occurred, excited a commotion, and been forgotten. One famoat locality of vice ia Cincinnati ts that tqnare of groceries and gam bin hole skirting the wharf, known by the euphouinnt titleof "Rtt," or "Sausage Row." Equally bad art the same class of establishments lower down npon the wharf, between Walnut and Vine, aud others we deem useless to mention. Here the vilest classes negroea aid white of both sexes congregate and carouse and fight and gamble during the entire night. Such oregiet are only equalled by the dance houses of Biieo town, which we have already described.

The picture there drawn it to ttmilar to this, we will not go over tbe tame ground. Persona tre often robbed and dangerously wounded in tkit vicinity, who have the hardihood to pass through thit quarter after nightfall. Many murder have been perpetrated in then dent; many more than have ever come to light. It it but a few steps to the river sudden splash, and all trace of the deed are removed. If the body be found, the victim having so friends, no one takes tht trouble to inqnira into the matter.

No reward being offered for the murderer, the police consider it beneath their dignity to think of the affair. One of the grand farces, Coroner'! iuqnett it held, and the usual verdict returned: "Deceased, name unknown, came to hit death by tbe hand of person or persons unknown to the jury." The Coroner pocketing hit fees, wishes there were more "Saasage Rows, and here the iW-es ends. After thit insight into the moral disease of onr city, let tract distributor! and missionary supporters, and all other member of equally ridiculous and unprofitable societies, tarn their meant, time and win to a nearer and more ntefnl field of labor. They have no occasion to go abroad to distribute that charity which rightfully belong, and is sorely needed at home.

Looking aronnd us, detrot so many more miserable and nmdy beings the ourselves, we hsve no time to bewail oar own misfortunes. The survey teachee nt resignation and eoutentmeut, the erowu Jewels in the diadem ef life. This brief and hasty, but not over-wrought saeicn oi me eooaet oi poverty and crime may, we trust, prompt some, heretofore idle, to exert themselves towards the relief of the one and suppression of tbe other.
