Depraved.

--One of the little beggar girls, who, for years past, has been a pest about hotel doors and other public places, was convicted of felony before Judge Lyons last Wednesday, and will have to serve a year in the penitentiary unless pardoned by the Governor. Her two associated, equally depraved, are yet begging, and will very soon meet a similar fate unless cared for. Can neither the police nor the Overseers of the Poor take these children under their charge and save them from disgrace and ruin? Is there no help for them?
