The gamins of London being forbidden to beg in t'’e streets, have nearly circumvented the law. They pu'chase a bundle of straw, commerce of all kinds being bee, and sittin.■ at the comer of a street, entreat p‘ destrians to buy a single whisk. It is said that some u chins by this traffic make a profit of ov r ten dollars a day. Everybody has re id of the young hero on the ‘ Deutchland,’ who held up a young lady on the mast during the fearful night of storm and wreck, in which so many of the passengers were drowned. But only ha fof the romance has been told. It seems they were lov rs, and while clingim? to the mast he “ popped the question.” She accepted, and vows exchanged. They were among the saved. The swain re turned to Hamburg, to com • back and marry his love in London when the new year arrived.
