I had strolled upon a group of ertin who, in the general estimate of 800iii3 y, belong teethe most abandoned and Thle; less class, Their faces told of the which "practice had bunted into t 'blend and marked them 'of - whose fOld they vtere." - One face caught the at ii. tion as typical. A low and retrea 1 • g forehead; broad and protruding bro s Me -set, chameleon -hued, and rest es eyes, which looked furtively from corners or from under half -raised li these gave his ; countenance an exp cion of Linking intellect con : -d by deep cunning. A. eguare jaw, w , ieb. seemed to rest on hisi broad slioulo i a without the interve tion of a , n indicated sensuality and brute i -dour :r. e. Yet the face was not altogether re' sive, for deep perpendicular lines c the eyes to the corner of the menthe' n ashen complexion, and premature y • white hair appealed to sympathy by p e story thertold of sharp and long tinned suffering. When, however, the man was dressed, and returized your gaze, countenance became marvelous changed. The rigid features soften and a beam of kindliness suffused th He looked so deeply into your eyes, ern out of such depths in his own, that 4.6 gaze seemed that of an ; earnest• so seeking another soul, and you forgot h sinister mask and thought only of b ' sincerity which'shone through it. noting this contrast beta ben his feature at rest and when animated in convert tion, it seemed as if natere had made tenement for a bad roans soul, but tha the original occupant had, been expr used and a better tenant come in. The story of Toni's life . corrobora this impression, for two men—in i Scripture figure, an "old man" and "new maze—had successively lodged the same body. Tom was born a thief. :His lathe WAS a Fagin of the old Five Points. I kleptomania- were not in his blood, i Was early generated by the mora malaria of his—borne! He was swad died in stolen goods, and taught to lie in infantile lies. He played with skele- ton keys and brass knuckles as' the younger Vernet did with- his father's pencils and brushes, and the younger Herechet did with globes and- mathe- matical instruments; and, like these prodigies -in flame arts, he became a youthful adept in his. The nearest ap- proach to self-respect Tom's budding manhOod•put forth was pride of adroit- ness in searching pockets, shop lifting, and lock picking He graduated from a House of Refuge at an age when most boys are entering the -grammar school, and commemorated the attainment of Ins majority, on his twenty-first birth- day, by exercising the rights of a. citizen of a free country and slipping out, just at nightfall, through the unguarded door of the city jail. At a time of life when the most suc- cessful men are beginning to be known in- the trades or professions, Tom' o poi - trait had for several yeah; , adorned bite walls of the Rogues' Gallery, as that Of one of the most distinguished members of his craft. Twenty years out of hs first 'forty had been spent in priso . Daring all this lime nature, true to her laws, had been molding the physical environment of brain and nerve, form and feature, to fit and to fasten Um shape of the e ail, so that perhaps theie never lived a man who was more strop ly dragged to-eerdition, more surely "fated to it"—if we area to believe certai scientific teachers --by• the forces ' f heredity and development. The .pr - bability of moral reformation or spirit eel quickening in one of his disposition and associations seemed as alight as that the rim of Etna should put forth flowers between the fires which burn within and the snows which lie around' it. Yet such are the marvels of Divine grace. " Tu as many es received Him gave he power to become the sons of God---;" and that though in almost actual generation they bad been the s obildree of the devil." When I first saw Toni, as described above, he -was in. council with a few old pals concerning that city of infinite wealth where "thieves do net break through nor steel." ' Tom's story runs thus-: About six years before he- had been discharged from prison To the joking farewell of the War- i den, "We will see you again soon ',I trust." he replied doggedly, yet with a grim conviction that he was telling the truth, " Yes, before long," end made straight for the redezvous of his old comrades, to receive their salutations and take his part in any new and promising "lay" that might need dais skill. e'Missing them there, in pursuance of the Same purpose he dropped in at a Water Street prayer meeting ; for these sacred places are -sometimes used by criminals who seek to elude suspicion by pretended desire -of reformation. Indeed, ex - convicts often advertiae their arrival by taking brief part in the service, snob as rising for prayer, or repeating some hackneyed confession of religious ex- perience. I)dtectives, too, often saunter tn to learn of other sinners than those of the Biblical days. From this point we must allow Torn to tell his -story chiefly in his own language: " It was there, that night, that the Lord. Jesus first arrested me. Though I'd done no crime since °main' oat of prison, I Wes suddenly took with a mighty fear, such as I'd never felt .be- fore judge nor jury..I'd rather a' been hanged than to feel as I did. The blink cap over a fellove's eyes would . 'at. been nothin' to the horror of darkness and damnation that come over my soul. If I'd thought that a bullet through my brain would 'a' cleaned out my mind, ray memory, my conscience, I'd 'a' sent one there- in a minute. But I felt some- how that Tom Would. live though the COr'llST sat on his miserable hulk. ' I hated and deEpised myself a thousand times. more'n any decent min ever de- spised me, for nobody knowtl, mei know'd, what an awful • and mein sinner I'd been. I seemed turned. right inside oat, and God's justice a-blazin' down- and constimin' me, The face of the leader of the meetint when he talked about God beim' holy, was as dreadful to me as an angel from heaven. 4' I got out of that meetin' and tried to skulk away from myself. I' drank a heap of liquor. Bet it wa'n't no use. I kind of hoped :tcl gone mad.; Bat I know'd it wain% me -except as I'd been mad all my life before, and was now comird to,. I can't tell you much about the next few days. Late, and walked, and sat with my head in my bands in the saloons -until they drove me out. At first I was full of fear lest the Al- mighty would send me to I felt an aerial loneliness. speak to decent people; speak to to, own sort, for t like devils to Ine, ; and it talk to myself.
