Here's your nice Hui Corn, smok- ing but. “ smoking hot, just from the pot!" Hour after hour, last evening, as we Ivll over the desk, this cry came tip in s soft, plaintive voice under our window, which told us of one of the ways of the poor to eke out the means of subsist- ence in this overburdened, ill-led and worse-lodged home of misery—of so many without mi-tins. W 0 are constantly crowding into the dirtiest purlieus of this nolorius dirty City, where tbev are exposed to the daily chances of death from some tiutlden ontbreaking epidemic like that. now desolating the ssme kind of streets in New-Orleans and seal- Iowing up its thousands of victims from the same class of poverty-stricken, uncoinfortably-pro.i:‘. \I for human beings. who know not how, or have not the power to lies to the healthy hillsnnil gr 'en fietltll ofthe country. ere they l'tve—bare|y live—in holes almost as hot as the hot cum. the crv of which rung in our cars from dark tiuiil iiiirliiiglii. “ Hot corn hot corn! livre’s \ otir Il|(‘-t‘. ll corn rose tip in it faint Clllltl like voice, which sr-eined to have been uroiiiu-tl by the sound of otir step as we were about entering the Park, while the City Hall clock told the hour uht-,n ghosts go forth upon their niiduiiilit rambles. We started, as though it spirit had given tie a tap, for the sound seemed to come out of one ofthe iron posts which stand as ssntinels over the main entrance, forbid- ing all vehicles to enter, unless the driver takes the trouble to pull up and tumble out of the way one of the aforesaid posts, which is not often done, because one of them often, if not always is out of its place, giving free ingress to the court yard,or livery stable grounds of the City Hall, which, in consideration of the growth ofa feu- colored miserable dusty brown trees and doubtful grass patches, we call “the Park.” Looking over the post we discovered the owner of the hot corn cry, in the person of an emiiciaieil little girl about twelve years old, whose dirty frock was nearly the color of the rtisty iron, and whose face, bands and feet. naturally white and delicate, were grimiiied with dirt until nearly of the same color. There were two white streaks running down from the soft blue eyes, that told of the bot scalding tears that were coursing their way ovcrthat naturally beautiful face. “ Some corn, Sir,” Iispetl the little sulferer. as she saw we had stopped to look at her, hardly daring to spells to one \vho did not address her in rough tones of command, such as "give me some corn. you little wolf's whelp," or a name still more iipprobrious both to liersclfand mother. Seeing we had no look of contempt for her, the said piteouly, “ please buy some corn, sir." " o, I'll car, we do not wish any; it is not very healthy in such warm weather as this, and especially so late at night. “ Oh dear, then. wlist shell I do 7" "Why, go home. It is past midnight, and such little girls as you ought not to be in the streets of this bad City at this time of night.” " lcun‘t go home—eiid I am so tired and sleepy. Oh deer.” " Cannot go home. Why not I" “Ob, Sir, my mother will whip me if Inc home without selling all my corn. Oh, sir, do buy one ear. and then I shall have only two left. end I am sure she might let little Sis and me set them, for] have not had anything to out since morning. otily one apple the man gave me, and one part of one he throw away. I could have etole s turnip at the grocery when l went to get —to get something in the pitcher for mother, but I dare not. I did use to steel, but Mr. Pesse says it is nsugbty to steal, and I don't want to be naughty, indeed I dou’t ; and I doii‘i want to be tl bed girl. like Lizzy Smith. and she is only two years older than me, if she does dress line ; 'cause Mr. Pesse says she will be "out like old drunken Kate, one of these days. h, dear, now there goes a men end I did not cry hot corn, what shall do" “ Dol There. that is what you shall do," as we dashed the corn in the gutter. " Go home! tell your mother you have sold it ell, and here is the money." " Wont that be u we must not tell lics. "No, my deer, that wont be I lie, hr-ceiisel bevs bpught it and thrown it away, instead of ent- . . , lie, Sir! Mr. Peese says in it. ",But, Sir, may I eat it then if you don't want it v " No, it is not good for you ; good brs'sd is bet- ter, and here is s sixpence to buy a loaf. and here is another to buy some nice cakes for you ntid Sis. Now that is your money; don't give it to _vour mother, and don't stay out so lets again Go home earlier. and tell your mother you cannot keep awake. and if she is a good mother she won't whip you. “Oh, Sir. she is a good rnotlie.- sometimes. Butlsnt sure the grocery man at the corner is setsgscd use at Its would not sell my mother turn, when he knows-for Mr. Pesos told himso ---that we poor children were starving. Oh, I wish all the men were goo men like him, and then my mother would not drink that nasty liquor and best and starve us, ‘cause there would be tro- body to sell her sny—snd then we should have plenty to eat ’ Away she ran down the street toward that reelting centre of filth, poverty and misery, the noted Five Points ol' New or . As we plodded up Broadway, looking in here and there upon the pelstisl splendors of metropo- litian " saloons”—we think that is the word for fashionable upper class grngsbops-we almost in- voluntarily cried “ hot corn" as we saw the bot spirit of that grain, under the various guises of “ pure gin”—“ ol ruin"—°‘ pale rendy"_. “ pure port"--“ Heidsick"—or “ Larger-beer" --poured down the hot throats of meu—end eh, of women, too, whose daughters tnay some day sit at midnight upon the cold etirbstune crying " ll"! corn.” to gain a penny for the purchase of a drink of the fiery dragon they are now inviting ton home in their bosoms, whose cry in after years \\ill be " Give, “ ive. give," and still as unsatisfied as the horse-leache’e daughters. Again as we passed on up that street. still busy and ilironged at midnight. as a country village at midday intermission of church service, ever and anon from some side-street. cutne up the cry of " hot coru—hot corn 1'‘ and ever as we heard it. and ever as we shall through all years to come, we thought of thit little girl and her drunken mo- ther, and the " bad man" at the corner grocery, and that ht-r's was the best, the strongest Main Law argument which had ever fallen upon our listening ear. 3 gain, as we turned the corner of Spring et., the glare and splendor of a thousand gas lights, and the glittering cut-glass of that lot the first time lighted-up bar room ofthe Prescott House. so lauded by the Press for its magnificence, dashed our eyes and almost blind.-d our senses to a degree of iinagiiiiiiiiin that first class Hotels must have such Five Point deniziait-mnkiitg appurtenances as this glittering room, shamelessly inviting, open to the street; when that watch-word cry, like the pibrocli’s startling peel, came up from the near vicinity, wailing like a lost spirit on the midnight tIl|'—“ lltll ctmi. hot corn,—here‘s your nice but corn—" smoking hnt——liot—-hot corn ” “ Yes. yes!

HOME or LITTLI: KATY. About ll week ago we published a little story tinder this title, detailing some of the sufferings which crime and misery bring upon the poor of this City, and hinted at the cause. That story is not yet finished. The next night after the inter- view with that neglected, ill used little girl, the same plaintive cry of I‘ Hot corn, lint corn licre’s your nice but coin,” came up through our open wimlow, on the midnight air, while the ruin came dripping down from the overchergedclonde in just suliicient quantity to wet the thin single garm-‘oi ofthe owner of the sweet young voice, without giving her an acceptable excuse for leav- ing ber post before her hard task was completed. At length the voice grew faint, and then ceased and then we knew that exhausted nature slept —-that a tender house pleitt was expose to the chilling influence of a night rsin—tltet en inno- cent little girl had the curb-stone for a bed and an iron post for a pillow -that by end by she would awaken, not ittvigorsied with refreshing Ilumbet. but tanned with the sleep~iuhs|ed miss- ma of the filth reciting gutter at her feet, which may be breathed with impunity awake, but like the malaria of our Southern coast, is death to the sleeper. Not soothed by edreamy conciousness of hearing at moiher‘s voice, turning the soft lul- laby of “limb my child, lie still and slumber;" but starting like a sentinel upon a savage frontier post, with alarm at having slept: shivering wit night air and fear, antl finally compelled to go home trembling like a culprit, to ‘hear the hard words of a niuther—ycs a mother—-but Oh ! what a nioiher—cursing her for not performing an im- possibility, because exhausted nature slep_t—be- cause her child had not made a profit which would have enabled her more freely to indulge in the soul and-body-destroying vice of drunkenness, to which she had fallen from sit estate when “ III carriage." was one of the " household words ’ which used to greet the young ears of that poor llllle death stricken neglected street sufferer. i was past midnight when she awoke, and found herself with a desperate elfort just able to reach the hottotn of the ricketty stairs which led to her home. We shall not go it little while, reader, you shall see City nor. 'l‘ired—worn with the daily |oil—for such if the work of an editor who retell for the appetites of his jnurning t-esdsrs—we were not present the next night to note the absence of that cry from its accustomed spot; but the next, and next, and still on we listened in vein—tbut voice, was not there.

It was but one of the ten thousand. just as miserable, which may be daily board where human misery has its abode. That voice, as some others have, did not hsont us, but its absence, in spite of all reasoning made us feel uneasy. We do not believe in spirit manifestations half as strongly-es some of the Hill- oompoops of this world would have their long- esred listeners think, yet we do believe their is a spirit in man, not yet made manifest, which makes us team after coexisting spirits in this sphere and in this life, and that there is no need of going be- yond it, seeking sftsr strange idols. We shell not stop to inquire whether it was a spirit of "the first, third or sixth sphere,” that prompted us as we 1 our desk one eve- ning, to go down among the nbodcs o 0 poor, wit it feelin of certainty that we should see or_h_enr soniet ing of the lost voice, for that spirit led us on; perhaps it was the spirit of curiosity ; no matter, it ed, and we followed in the route we had seen that little one go before ——it was our only cue—we knew no mtine—had no number, nor knew on one that knew her whom we were goin to ad. Yes. we knew that good Missionary, and she had told us of the 0d words which he had spoken, but woulsobe know her from the hundred just like her? Perhaps, it will cost nothing to inquire. We went down Centre st. with n Ii lit heart; we turned into Cross at. with it stop no ed by hope; we stood at the corner of Little ster- st. and looked round inquiringly of the spirit, and mentally said, “ whic we now?" answer was it fur-off scream o despuir. We stood still with an open our, for the sound of grqiyer, followed by it sweet hymn of raise to 0 . went up from the site of the Old rewery, in which we joined, thankful that that was no longer the abode of all the worst crimes ever concentrated under one roof. Hark, it etc approaches. Our unseen guide whispcro , “ ask him.” It were a curious question to ask a stranger, in such it strange place, particular- ly one like him, haggard with over-inuch cure, toil or mental labor. Prematurely old, his days shortened by over work in young years, as his fnrrowed face and almost hrensied e e hur- ridly indicates, as we see tile tlasli of t o lam upon his dnrk visage, its be u prottchos with that peculiar American step which impels the body orwitrd at railroad s ed. Shall we get out of his way before be we ks over us! What if he is is crazy man? No ; the spirit was night —no false raps here- It is that good mission- ary. That man who has done more to reform that den of crime, the Five Points of New York, than all the Municipal Authorities of this Police-hunting. and Prison-punishing City, where misfortune is deemed it crime, or the unfortunate driven to it, b the way they are treated, instead of being re orined, or strength- ened in their resolution to reform, by hard words rather than Prison rs. “Sir,” said Mr. Pense, “ whet brings you here at this time of night,’for I know there is an object: csnl ei “ Perhaps, I don’tknow—-e. foolish whim—n little child—one of the miserable, with is drunk- on mother." “Come with me, then. There are men such. I am just ing to visit one, who wi die before mornin sweet little girl, born in better days, and ying now—-but you shall see, and then we will talk about the one you would seek to save.” We were soon threading a narrow alley, where pestilence wnlketh in darkness, and crime, wretched ver and filthy misery, go hand in hand to estr ction. “ Behold said our friend, “ tbe'fruits of our City excise.

Hayward, the agent for the British Provinces, that in the new discovery of tanning leather, nothing of the nature of lime is used, and the great excellence and superiority of this system consists in the rapid and perfect preparation of skins or hides for receiving the tanning. Therefore, the stock is not diminished in wei ht, or the fabric injured, as it necesstirly is by the old limcing pro- cess, and the leather is by far heavier, stronger and firmer; is capable ofteking a better finish and in every way superior to that manufactured by the present system. This process is very easily acquire , and can be introduced into any 0 inery ten- nery, at little expense, as it does not inter- fere with the uystem, the tannuge being the same. There is a great saving of time and labour by this new system. It has already been adopted by the most extensive manufactures in the New England States and in Canada, with the most signal success. This discovery has been subjected to the most rigid tests for the past two years, in the use of the leather in every department of consumption, with the most satisfactory results as to its value and durability.
