The house is one of questionable repu- lation, and among the inmates yesterday morning was @ young girl somé tweaty- three years of age, named Alice Springfield. Until within a fomparatively recent period nothing indicated that the girl had lapset from the waiks of respectability. Efforts bad been repeatediy made, but without suc- | small matter to whith I has cess, to influence her to’ forsake her evil course. She, however, resisted tne earnest importunities of ber family, and gradually sinking lower and lower in thescale of crime at lepgth became an inmate of the den al- luded to.

A Fikst PLUNGE INTO THE SEA.—At last the ime came. Shali I ever forget the Satisiaction—tue realization of my strongest desire—secorded to me the day before yes- terday; ever forget the first plunging dip in the sa, the boundivg spring with which 1 leaped into the seething waters, the un- speakable happiness of revelling in the —— breakers that came laughing on to lap me in their snowy arms and bear me on their bosom? How new, how strange it all seemed; how unutterabie the joy of such rollicking pastime, such mad-cap play, such incessant change of forms, as the w: rip- fod and rolled and rushed upon the beach fore them! On, on they come—what a troop, what @ phalanx! what seeming order, and yet woat & want of discipline; wat unl ty, abd yet what singleness of purpose; what aburrying to and fro, and yet what direct. ness of action—the crowding on and on, as though the all and all of a wave’s life was to die as bigh up as ible upon the sands. | How they rattle the shingle, as they come bounding in in the plenitade of What a dash they make the last push for tue stake, and with what a gentle sigh—an ua- complaining murmur—they give over—the faiol chirp of the cricket as compared with the neighing of acharger! What @ world of } experience is gained at sucha time; what hosts of trooping thoughts come to us, and how I long to live over and over and'over | again the excitement of that moraing.— (Eecier from the Seaside.
