Beware! that thread may bind thee asachaln; That streamlet leather to a fatal sea; That sapling spread into a snarled tree; Tliut thoru, crown hard, may wound and five thee pain; That playful whelp his murderous fan ?s reveal -That child, a giant, crush ttaee'neath his heel TUE TIME TO DIE.

BEFORE THE TO HITTEK ON PRIVM.KOES AND KI.ECTIONK or THE UNITED STAT M SENATE, JAKIAK1 11 AND 12,1S78. SARA ANDREWS SPENCER. In tbe canital of tiie United States. for seven lour rears a little baud of women lias been a constant, sleepless, ever-vigilant eommitfee to defeat tbe licensing of the sale of American women and cbildren to tbe men of tbe United States and tbe Old World, who annually gather here, determined to have their wine and women in peace and security under the shadow of our American Hag. Again and again we have defeated that deadly St. Louis bill, that tbe capital of this fair nation should not have that stain upon its banner. Sixty days and uights, at last all night loDg, we sat and watched tbe District legislature, which bad a clear majority in favor of the bill, but could ot bring up a question so indelicate "while those women were there;" and then, at tbe last hour of the last night that auy bill which passed could become a law, feeling that they must do some thing on tbe social question, they took up our substitute for tbe license bill, the girls' reform school bill, and passed it by one majority. The member wbo ad vocated it most strongly said to his wife, "I eould not stand it, that woman in the black dress sittinc there so still every day and night watching us and waiting to see 11 tnegiris' reiorm senooi bill would be brought up. I felt that I must get it oft my conscience." The girls' reform school bill com mitted to our custody tbe vagrant, out cast girls in tbe District of Columbia, who are brought from every part of the United States to serve the vices of men. But except the work-house, the station house and tbe District jail, there was not a place of shelter for one of them or foroneof tbeirinfantsin all our seventy square miles. Since 1874, we have k nooked annually at the door of Con gress asking for buildings for a Model Girls' Iteform School in Washington. The members of both your houses hear us with tbe utmost kindness. They say that in contrast to the general selfish ness of men, it refreshes and does tbein good to hear women pleading for the wronged and hunted-down outcast. And then tbey order the appropriation to put up the buildings at once? Ob, no! they have reared a iioys' iteiorm School at an expense of $100,000, and make annual appropriations of from $10,000 to $18,000 for its support. But for these girls it would not do. "Their constituents would not support tbe measure. Wbo would supply tbe places of the girls of tbe streets ? Innocent girls would be ruined in vast numbers, for these places must be supplied. It is a Utopian scheme to undertake to do away with the social evil." And there the matter rests, and Congress declines to even help us to alleviate its horrors, and give tbe wretched victims a chance lor escape. A boy, you see, steals pocket-book from themselves or their constituents, lie must be reformed, Xow. the girl gets tbe pocket-bonk also. but in a more agreeable way. Let her stay where she is. Ladies, which way, think you, the dear ladies, wives and mothers of tbe constituents, would rather have their family pocket-book go? But it does not matter how tbey leei auoutit. Tiiey eannot help them selves. I know men whose children haven't any shoes, aud who curse their wives when they ask for a dollar, who spend their money freely and the strength of their manhood recklessly on these vagrant girls. But I ought to say, in justice to Con gress, that tbe committee of tbe House of Representatives did take favorable action on our bill, and three times re ported favorably to the House an appro priation, twice of $100,000, and the third time, last winter, $150,000. The first time, the friends of tbe bill, a majority oi me xiouse, were an in tuelr seats, and prepared to defend it and take it through, but the chairman oi the com mittee in charge had a measure involv ing, It is said, bis own financial inter ests to carry first, upon which the House grew indignant, and adjourned at onee. ine seoonu time mere was a dead lock in both houses until it was too late to take the bill from the Speaker's table. The third time for we dare not give it up when so many souls nre at staKe last winter, just as our Dili was to be brought up from tbe calendar, the chairman of tbe committee having it in charge disappeared from his seat in the House for three days, nnu we women, watch ins: and waiting with aching hearts for the long-delayed measure of justice and Humanity to oe coined into law, were again doomed to cruel defeat. We bad no representative on that Moor. Gentlemen of both bouses have told me that one woman's voice for twenty minutes on the floor of the House would have carried that bill. But now the cruel desertions, the Infant-murders, the arrests, trials aud punishments of the victims of men po on, go on, and we, wbo would navBi these wretohed girls from despair and crime, are helpless and hopeless oulv m we come to you for redress. J Nowhere in this land have women any security for the highest and holiest work of their hands, while they are ah solutely subject to tbe caprice ot irre sponsible masters. Meu have reared in tbe United Kti seventy-two reform schools, mainly for bovs. four for girls only, and fourteen with departments for girls, several of these in tbe same State. Mrs. Hooker. Two in Connecticut. Mr. McMillan, One in Minnesota. Mrs. Snencer. Yes, and two in Ohio.

There are onlv eleven Kini Union in which any State provision Is tuuo mi mo reiormation of outcast girls. In twentv dollar is expended from th nuhlin treasury to redeem rlrls peopling tbe country with criminals, and are themselves going down to terri ble deaths, while millions of money are expended annually in hunting them iuwu as criminals ror cblld-munier, abortion and kindred crimes, rendered in evitable by the vices and cruel neglect of men. On tbe other hand, tweuty-six gov ernors of States are interested in the reformation of bovs. and in Increasing the number of reformatories for these future citizens of tbe republic wbo will soon claim their manly birthright, the ballot, aud must be reformed for tbe safety of the State. The old plan of the station-house, the work-boube, the jail. the prison, is good enough for girls. If they offend men, and will not submit to all the indignities heaped upon them, or have friendly (?) relatives interested in putting them out of sight, tbey are ar rested, sometimes by their patrons of tne nignt uerore, ror soliciting vice, and, as men make laws to suit them selves, the sword of the law has but one edge, and that falls upon the neck of the girl. Tbe man, her employer in vice, may only be arrested as a witness against her, so she is sure to be con victed, and he is equally sure to escape. A poor woman came to me for help to secure possession of her child, a bloom ing girl or sixteen, who had been lured from her home by a young man whom the mother suspected of dishonorable intuutions, and who had therefore been forbidden the house. An olllcer, one of your employes, gentlemen, for you nave exolusive jurisdiction over this Dis trict, with a fine show of interest In the case, helped me to find her at a den of infamy frequented by the young men of tue town, me irlenuiy ) representa tive of the law took the girl aside and said to her, "You need not go to your mother. Only swear that you are eighteen, and vou con do as you please." "Oh, I know that; he told me so," she said, "but! can't swear to a lie. x am only sixteen. I went to the church record to see, for mother can't read, and It's there In tbe book. What will they do with me?" "Why, I shall take you to the sta tion-house now. You'll sleep there to night, and to-morrow you'll be tried be fore the police court, and probably will be sent to the work-house. Harry over mere win testily that you Dave been with him in this den for over a week. We have him arrested fora witness. So you see you had better swear you are eighteen, so your mother can't control you, nor anybody else, and the case will drop." "On, narry will never do that," she said. "He wouldn't testify against me. I left my home for him, and now I am ruined and haven't a friend in the world." "Oh, yes; lots of girls have left home forlilm. He's a gay fellow, but they don't mostly take on as you do. When a girl begins to go down, she goes with a rusn." He took her to the station-bouse. Iter case was called at ten the next morning, and the young rake appeared smiling in tne wituefcs-box. lie gave bis testimony against her glibly, and laughed as the wretched girl dropped. with a sob and a groan, at tbe sound of bis voice. As there was no place of shelter for her in Washington, at our request she was sentenced, not to the work-house, but to an Institution in Baltimore, which begs its subsistence from private charity. Need we wonder that desperate girls in this District and everywhere so madly plunge from be trayed innocence to the seething mael strom of corruption ? Men are their lovers, men their counselors, men their law-makers, judges and executioners, Continued next week. The British and Foreign Uuitarian Association met in London June 10th Tbe executive committee reported tb iucome for tbe year to be 3,700, nearly double that of 1ST6. This Association keeps up au active correspondence with the Unitarian associations on the conti nent of Kurope. One of tbe resolutions adopted declares that the "Association cannot consider the great work of lib' eral reformation complete so long as any vestige remains of civil privilege on ac count of religious beliefs, whether in re gard to endowments or fellowships in the chief national universities, or the allowed teacuing or denominational creeds in schools supported In whole or in part by public money, or the na tionai maintenance oi public worship I connection with any favored church or religious sect," An Appallino Curse. Carefully prepared statistics show that there are overslx bundred thousand drunkards In the United States, and that seventy thousand die annually who go to the grave of a drunkard. Every year oue hundred thousand men and women are sent to prison under the influence of liquor, while three Hundred murders and four hundred suicides occur from thesamecause. Two hundred thousand orphans are annually thrown upon tbe cuarity or tne wonu Dy tins curse or in temperance. Nine-tenths of our crime. and not less than seven-eights of our pauperism, is tbe Immediate result of whisky, and mat at a cost to tbe gov ernment besides individual want of not less than 60,000,000 per year.
