Ma. EpIToRs: What was my astonishment
on turning the corner of street into 10Th on
last Friday evening 10 see five or six boys from
the age Of ten to fourteen playing cards on the
steps Of the gentleman who resides there. |
could not help stopping to see if it was posi-
BILE that boys so young were actually engaged
in playing cards in the public streets, and
found ii was even so. Iexpressed my aston
ishment 10 them, and expressed wish that
we had an efficient police, who would take the
trouble TO walk about and stop the many out
rageous proceedings Of the youth Of this city.
On leaving the steps, there was another party
under them engaged in the same demoralizing
game; some Of these boys appeared TO be sons
Of respectable people, who, can't believe.
would allow their children 10 engage in street
gambling.


On the Sabbath day, ] am informed, white
