A HOUSE OF REFUGE" You brought me 10
thiS," was the ejaculation of poor, young,
wretched and deluded creature, as two young
men had hold Of her, about nine o'clock, on
Wednesday night, in the alley that runs from
Front to High streets, endeayoring to get her
home, Cfa home she had y she appearing some
what under the influence Of drink, though she
looked as if she had seen better days; and to
sthe her noise and keep from attracting Il
crowd, they would occasionally choke her; still,
on recovering her breath, she would cry out
"you brought me to this" From the pltful,
plaintve and subdued tone of her voice,
thought to myself if this poor creature, who
perhaps has been we'll educated and tenderly
raised, had an lum to flee to, to recover her
lost reputation and character, she, with hun
dreds of others similarly situated, would resort
to it as "Sanctuary" to enable them to re-
cover from the vice and infamy they have been
plunged into by the villany and rascality of
heartless men. But, alas! there is no such
House of Refuge in Baltimore for this unfor-
tunate class of beings, many ofwhom, no doubt,
pant for the opportunity of leaving their haunts
of vice and debauchery. Ye ministers of the
Gospel; ye meeting going, and ye church going
people, what exertions have you made in be-
half of these unfortunate creatures? Here is
an ample field for your useful labors, for many
of them have been so educated and raised as
moral impressions could be made, ifopportunity
wa offered, that would lead to permanent re-
formation. HOWARD.
