There is little to be seen also of the squalid, abject poverty of the English courts and alleys, and of the Scot- tish closes and w}mds. The result is partly due, I suppose, to better municipal and sani- tary^ regulations ; but the moral effects must be fairly ascribed to the influence of education and Christian training. Philanthropy has not to deal with the hopeless chaos which intempe- rance and pauperism have produced in our great towns. And still more would be achieved in Boston but for th...e jealousy of interfering with popular liberty, which thus is allowed to run into license. Hence the growing influence of " the liquor traffic interest, " and the circula- tion of criminal literature, and other agencies counteracting the good work of education. The magistrates and respectable citizens of Boston had better check this license with stronger hand, or their city will not continue to hold its claim to admiration for the social and moral character of its people.
