DAILY EVENING STAR.
The Press.?Mr. Winthrop, in an ora
tion before the Alumni of Harvard College,
thns comments on the Press of America :
11 And then, tl^e press of America?the
periodical press, the pamphlet press, the
light literature press, and above all tflie'
newspaper press of America?that tremen
dous enginery which throws a fresh broad
side, at morning and noon dayr beneath al
most every roof in the republic; and* whose
competitions-so often betray it into fatal
oomplaisanees>with the prejudices, the pas
sions, and even profligacy of its supporters.
Who, can estimate the influence of such an
enginery upon our social and moral condi
efifect upon the community of a single cor
rupt, licentious newspaper, coining slanders
like a mint, changing phases like the moon,
" with three hundred and sixty-five opin
ions a year," upon every subject which it
treats, spicing its daily and nightly potions
with every variety of obscene and sensual
stimulant, controlled by no sense of respon
sibility, finding its easy way to the knowl
edge and perusal of the young, and igno
rant, and inexperienced, and pandering
to their diseased tastes and depraved appe
tites. And who can calculate, on the other
hand, the influence which might be pro
duced?nay, let me say is produced?for
I have in my mind, thank heaven, more
than one example, by such an engine in
the hands of upright, intelligent, indepen
dent, and conscientious men, espousing and
advocating neither ultraisms, nor citraisms,
neither a wild fanatism nor bigoted conser
vatism ; with the fear of God before their
eyes, with the love of truth in their hearts,
aud by whom the advancement of knowl
edge, of morality, of virtue, of right, and of
righteousness; is not held subordinate to
the popularity of the hour, or to the state
of the subscription list.
44 Yes, an unfettered press is a match
and an over-match for almost anything hu
man. Neither tyranny nor freedom can
stand against it. Neither corruption nor
virtue can survive its systematic and per
severing assaults. It may be rendered all
but omnipotent for evil, it may be rendered
almost omnipotent for good, accoraing to
the ends to which it is directed and the in
fluences by which it is controlled. And the
only reliable, earthly influence to which we
can look for safety,, is a sense of responsi
bility, a moral and religious responsibility,
on the part of its controlers."
A Beautiful Street Incident.-A friend
who was present and witnessed the incident
below narrated, lias furnished us with an
account of them. We cannot do better
than to tell the story in his own words.
He says, under the head of ** Stoppage in
Broadway :" In passing through Broad
way at noon on Thursday, a stoppage oc
curred on the side-walk at the corner of
Liberty street, of rather a novel kind. An
immigrant Irish woman, with three chil
dren, was the object of deep and heart-felt
sympathy from crowds of persons who
flocked to hear as well as to alleviate the
cries of one of the children, who was only
two years old, shivering with cold?being
barefooted on the flags. Tho mother at
tempted taking the child in her arms, but
could not, having another, an infant, al
ready pressed to her heart. The third was
better off, being three years, and having on
shoes. Some ladies looked on, but speedily
passed by, as if not able to endure the sight
casting a look at the gentlemen significant
of the question. 4 Are they not safe in
your keeping?1
The heart being touched, the pocket soon
gave way. Some gave a cent, some more,
one young gentleman handed a shilling, and
some shed tears in abundance. Finally,
they were taken into the store of Messrs.
Rosenfeld & LeVino, No. 71 Liberty street.
It would appear that the crowd knew where
to take them to, for Mr. Rosenfeld, with a
heart which must yield him great comfort,
at once supplied the children, from his
shelves with comfortable stockings, and a
comfort for the neck of each of the little
girls; he ordered them to a comfortable
stove, whose heat soon made the little fam
ily forget all else but their present comfort,
so beneficently bestowed by the hand of the
stranger. What feelings must have perva
ded the heart of that mother ! While Mr.
R. was engaged making the little ones com
fortable, two gentlemen left the crowd, say
ing they would purchase shoes, and so they
did; and I had the consolation of seeing
them put on the feet of the po* . children,
ere I made my exit.?N. 1". Times.
It is very much to be regretted that the
name of the gentleman who contributed 44 a
cent" was not given by the editor?the
names of those who gave even 14 more"
than a cent, and of those who 44 shed tears"
should at least be printed in letters of gold.
Benevolent souls! how their hearts must;
have been touched! It is a wonder that
the waistbands of their trowsers did not
give way, as well as their pockets and the
flood-gates of their eyes.
A person meeting an old man with silver
hairs, and a very black, bushy beard, asked
him 44 how it happened that his beard was
not so gray as the hair of his head ?" 44 Be
cause," said the old gentleman, " it is
twenty years younger
44 Gentlemen and ladies," said the show- j
man, 44 here you have a magnificent picture
of Daniel in the lion's den. Daniel can easi- j
ly be distinguished from the lions bv the ?
green cotton umbrella under his left arm." !
44 Are you in fun or in earnest?" said a i
fellow to one who was giving him some smart
cuts wiih a cow-skin.
?4 I'm in earnest," replied the other, lay
ing it on somewhat hauler.
44 I'm glad of it," said the first one, 41 for I

SCENES AMONG- THE POOS OF H. YORK.
"With fingers weary and worn ?
With eyelids heavy and red,
A woman sits m unwomanly rags,
Plying her needle and thread."
The New York Daily Times has the fol
lowing pictures of virtuous misery which?
ape worthy of reflection :
My companion was Mr. Pease, the Mis
sionary, and as he knew the ground better,
I let him lead, keeping as close behind him
as possible, and i* must be confessed, grasp
ing my cane with a feeling of some satisfac
tion. As we groped along the dark passage,
a door opened occasionally, and lights
gleamed out, and haggard, filthy faces
looked at us, but with no especial^juriosity,
for no one knows or cares for any one else
in these great roockeries.
At length, as we turned the angle we
found ourselves in more light, and an open
door showed a crowd of low woman in a
small dirty room, gathered in great glee
around some poor fellow they were plucking.
Scarcely glancing in, we passed, and in the
next room, at the door, there stood two or
three dirty children. Something in the ex
pression of one?perhaps a look of such
sad want?struck me that I involuntarily
stopped, and the children rushed forward,
recognizing Mr. Pease and clung to his
hand most affectionately. Hardly stopping
he turned down another stairway, led me
into the celler of the olil building, then
going on a few steps, knocked at the door
of a room. It was opened at once, and we
were welcomed by a nice young Irish girl.
The place looked neat?there was a table
cloth on the table, with a candle burning in
the centre?and the floor and hearth well
swept.
In one corner was a large bed with three
children. Tfce air was very damp in the
room, and rank with oders from without.
This young girl and her mother occupied
the room. Her * mother was out. Mr.
?P. fell at once into conversation with
her, after some talk he asked her. "What
she was working at now ?" "Plain check
shirts, sir," she said showing them to
us. "What did she get for them ?" "Ten
cents a-piece," she replied. "How many
can you do in a day ?" "Two, and some
times three, if I begin at six and work till
late at night." "You do other work ?" "Oh,
yes sir, pantaloons?and I get two shillings
for thein, and sometime three and six by
the day ; and dress making beside?though
I don't often get that. What I do, I ean
earn a dollar a day. You know it wont do
to wait tor work?I must take what comes,
and ladies don't like to put fine work in
such places, and so I take them shirts."
"So, all you make with them, is twenty
to thirty cents a day ?"
"Yes sir."
"Ain't you afraid of falling behind?with
your rent and everything!"
"Oh no, sir?it always comes out right."
"You did much better with me, Jane?
what did you use to earn at my work ?"
"About six shillings, sir."
" Well, come over to the house to-mor
row, and I can give you some more work!"
And after a little more talk we bid her good
night.
The girl was not more than twenty-two
years old?with a fresh, cheerful, healthful
face, which it did one good to look upon.?
I cannot in any way convey the healthy,
hopeful t)ne witl> wniph she spoke of her
meagre wages, And the chances of work,
though none knew better than she, in that
foulneigl \>orhood, the terrible alternative, if
she did fall beliind-hand. She was not of the
best class of seamstresses ; yet there was to
me in her clear, hearty look, and her neat
dress, and her whole bearing, a purity which
contrasted singularly with her vile quarters.
Mr. Pease says lie has known her for
years, aud there is not a more virtuous girl
in the city. As I made my way out of the
filty deu, I could not but think of how dif
ferently she might be living, if she had cho
sen anything but an honest life. The virtue
that holds out in such places, must be
worth something.
Our next visit was to a needle-woman of
rather better class. The house was in an
alley leading out of Pearl street. We entered
it by a stairway on th<} back side, and it
seemed to me, wound about through some
half dozen passages, and up and down half
a dozen stairways, before we reached the
room. Each room that we passed, appear
ed to have a separate family in it?in one,
quiet working people, cooking their supper;
in another a company of coarsely-talking
woman, putting on finery for their evening
walks through the streets, in another, some
desperate looking men, whom one would
rather not meet in a lonely alley of a dark
night, and who glanced at us suspiciously
as we passed by. In general, however, we
were not noticed.
The seamstress opens the door at our rap,
j and meets Mr. P. in a very friendly manner.
I We are invited in, and chairs placed for. us,
and ske introduces her aunt, with whom she
occupies the room?all done as quietly and
as easily as any lady would do it.
This sewing woman Mr. P. had known in
better days. She was the daughter of a re
ligious, educated man, and by his sudden
death had been left to support herself with
her needle.
There were some other sad things about
her life which I did not inquire particularly
into?a love and promised marriage, and
then the affair broken off, which had all
left a gloom upon her. She seemed about
twenty-eight years old, in full womanhood
?a striking, noble face, with black, waving
hair, a rich complexion, and a full, dark
eye?which no lively talk seemed to re
lieve of its sad wearied expression.
She is one of the best shirt-sewers in the
city. She works from six in the morning
till tlevtn at nijht. Sometimes stitching o
shirts a day, and earning usually $3,50 a
week?her board and washing costine her
from $2 to $2,50 per week. S
We asked how she could bear such steady
work. She said she had not lost a day for
two years and a half.
Her auat added to us, that she would
very often sew and then go to bed because
she was so weak/ and then get up to sew;
but "sometimes she could hardly work far
crying so I"
She laughed, and said, "she very often
pulled herself up in her bed to work; and
at one time her eyes had suffered so that
she could u ot see a person across the street,
but they were better now."
I do not know, but I believe our eyes
were a little dimmed, as we thought of the
weary hours of toil, which must have
blurred sueh bright eyes-as hers.
Mr. Pease was trying to induce her to go
into an establishment he could procure her,
where she could earn just as much as she
earned now, without working in the even
ings, and on easy, plain work.
She feared to change. There was al
ways so much risk in changing. He as
sured her that there would be no risk ; and
here, if she wanted a spare day occasionally,
she could have it. No, she never wanted
spare days?but she would think of it, and
thanked him much.
Before he went she told Mr. P. of an em
ployer to whom she had lately bees, who
doubted the testimonials of character which
Mr. Pease had procured her. Her cheek
flushed, and the dark eye gleamed as he
spoke of the suspecting questions of the
man, "until at last," said she, "I told him
I would do no work for him at any price,
after such impertinent questions.
A Good Joke;
The following storj of Neil McKinnon, a
New York wag, surpasses in impudence any
thing within our recollection. Head and
speak for yourself, gentle reader;
When the celebrated " Copenhagen Jack
son" was British Minister in this couatry,
he fesided in New York, and occupied a
house in Broadway. Neil one night, at a
late hour, in company with a bevy of rough
riders, while passing the house, noticed it
was brilliantly illuminated, and that several
carriages were waiting at the door.
"Hallo?" said our wag, "what's going
on at Jackson's ?"
One of the party remarked that Jackson
had a party that evening.
"What!" exclaimed Neil, "Jacksonhave
a party and I not invited ? I must see to
that."
So stepping up to the door he gave a ring
which soon brought the servant to the door.
" I want to see the British Minister,"
said Neil.
"You must call some other time," said
the servant, " for he's engaged at a game of
whist and must not be disturbed."
" Don't talk to me that way," said Mc
Kinnon, " but go directly and tell the Bri
tish Minister that I must see him immediate
ly on special business."
The servant obeyed and delivered his
message in so impressive a style as to bring
Mr. Jackson to the door forthwith.
" Well," said Mr. Jackson, "what can be
your business with me this time of night
which is so very urgent."
" Are you Mr. Jackson," said Neil.
" Yes, sir, I am Mr. Jackson."
" The British Minister ?"
" Yes, sir."
" You have a party here to-night, I per
ceive, Mr. Jackson ?"
" Yes, sir. I have a party."
" A large party, I presume ?"
" Yes, sir, a large party.
"Playing cards, I understand?"
" Yes, sir, playing cards."
" Oh, well," said Neil, " as I was passing
I merely called to inquire what's trumps ?"
The Buried Alive.
The following from the Edinburg Review,
will go far to neutralize the effect of the
absurd rumors, frequently stated, of per
sons being buried alive:?
In the midst of exaggeration and inven
tion, there is one undoubted circumstance
which formerly excited the worst appre
hensions?the fact that bodies were often
found turned in their coffins and the grave
clothes diserranged. But what was ascri
bed, with seeming reason, to throes of vital
ity, is now known to be due to the agent of
corruption. A gas is developed in the de
cayed bodies which mimics, by its mechan
ical force, many of the movements of life.?
So powerful is the gas in corpses that have
lain long in the water, that Mr. Devergid,
the physician to the Morgue of Paris, and
the author of the text book on legal medi
cine, says that unless they are secured to
the table they are often heaved up and
thrown to the ground.
Frequently strangers, seeing the motion
of the limbs, run to the keeper of the Mor
gue, and announce with horror that the
person is alive. All bodies, sooner or later,
generate gas in the grave, and it constantly
twists about the corpse, blows out the skin
till it rends with distention, and sometimes
bursts the coffin itself. When the gas ex
plodes with a noise, imagination has con
verted it into an outcry or groan ; the grave
has been reopened ; the position of the body
confirmed the isupicion, and the laceration
been taken for evidence that the wretch had
knawed his flesh in phrenzy or despair.?
So many are the circumstances which will
occur to support a conclusion that is more
substantial than the fabric of a dream.
An Israelite in Boston was arrested for
working at his trade on Sunday. His ucfence
was that he observed the seventh day, and
it was deemed sufficient.

Affection, like spring flowers, breaks
through the most frozen ground at last; and
the heart that seeks but for another heart
to make it happy, will not seek in vain.
A grave friend of ours tells us that he and
his wife always go to bed quarreling. "And
yet,'said he, " with all our difference, we
never fall out."
