LIVES, Eight Articles by THOMAS HOLMES (Aavooat-o of the Poor end Outcast, author of "Pictuies and Problems from London Police Courts,"' "Home ladurtriee and Home Heroism," etc.) PACT STEANGEB THAN FICTION. In tersa language, with perfect absence of straining after efiect. Hr Holmes gives facts ia theso articles which alternately move to tears and laughter. Love and sympathy have inspired the author from the beginning of his work m 1865. At 3lr Holmes's table trrice-ltardencd criminals have dined; many o£ London's "lost" children have been "found" by this large-hearted man. .But whilst so tender and so trusted. Mt Holmes has no cheap panacea for the solution of the social problem. That is one of the reasons why his unadorned facts are of such deep interest. THE AUTHOR.

Mr Holmes wouldn't leave mc here." That i 3 how they regard him; a man whs never de«rts. The wild and lawless wemen of London come from prison to act as gerrants in his home. Hardened gaol-birds fit down with him in his house to discues tfasir chances of amendment. He has been locked in ont of his own bedrooms by one of these guests—* drunkard raving with homicidal muiK-and told to prepare for death.
