VOW'S PROM THE PENITENTIARY.
TO' following beautiful 'lines were
found some years ago pencilled on a fly
sheet of one of the books belonging to
the Provincial Penitentiary at Kingston,
and are supposed to have been written by
a convict :
I've wandered far away, mother,
Far from my happy home,
And left the land that gave me birth
• In other climes to roam; -
And time lime then his rolled his years
'I And marked them on my brow,
yet still I think on thee, mother,
I'm thinking on thee now.
When by thy gentle ide, mother,
Thou waWhed my 4wning youth,
And kissed me in yor4r pride, mother,
Taught me the word of truth,
Then brightly was my soul lit up
With thoughts of future joy,
Whilst you bright fancy garlands wove,
To deck thy darling boy.
I'm thinking on the day, mother,
• When, with such anxious care
You lifted up your heareto Heaven,
Your hope, your trust, was there.
Fond mem'ry brings the parting glance,
Whilet tears rolled down my cheek,
That last long loving look told more
Than ever words could speak.
I'm lonely and forsaken, mother,
No friend is near me now
To soothe me with a tender word
Or cool my learning brow.
The dearest ties affection wove
Are all now torn from me,
They left me when my trouble came,
They did not love like thee.
I would not have thee know, mother,
- How brightest hopes decay,
The tempter with his baneful cup
Has dashed them all away;
And shame has leftrits venom sting
To rack with anguish wild,
Yet still I would not have thee know
The sorrows of thy child.
I know you would not chide, mother,
You would not give me blame,
But soothe me with a tender word
And bid me hope again.
I'm lonely and forsaken now,
Unpitied and unblest,
Yet dill, I would not have thee know
How sorely I'm distressed.
I've wandered far away, mother,
•Since I deserted thee'
And left thy trusting heart to break
Beyond the deep blue sea;
Yet mother still I love thee well,
I long to hear thee speak,
And feel again thy balmy breath
upon my careworn cheek.
But ah! there is a thought, mother,
Pervades my beating breast,
That thy free'd spirit may have flown
To its eternal rest,
-
And as I wipe the tear away,
There whispers in my ear,
A voice that speaks of lileaven, mother,
And bids me seek thee there,

induced ladies to adopt the 'pull-back'
style of dress ?" Can't say, unless ir was
to promote a general taste for anatomical
studies.
—An IOWA oongregation dismissed ito

—Mother—"Now, Getty, be a good
girl, and give Aunt Julia a kiss, and say
good -night." Gerty—"No, no 1 if I kiss
her, she'll box my ears, like she did

—14thing in the world will make a
man eo mad as to dream that he is kiss-
ing an academy girl, and wake.up to find
that a depraved fly is waltzing around
the ragged edge of his ynouth.
—"She is a perfect Amazon," saki a
pupil in one of our schools, of his teach-
er, to a companion. "Yes," said the
other, who was better versed in geography
than history, "I noticed that she had. a
very large mouth."
—A Connecticut girl patiently listen-
ed to a long declaration of love, pathetic
and proposing from a young man, and
then knocked the poetry all out of him
by saying, "Now let us talk -about your
business affairs."
—A new dish is egg leaves fried in
grape batter; it is called a French dish.
An exchange remarks : "We can't think
of anything that would be more delicious
than fried grape leaves, unless it is a cir-
cus poster on toast."
— Two sons of Erin were etanding by
a hydfaulie press, when one called out
to the other: "Jim, I'd like ye under

would ask," was the rather stunning re -
- Random Shot."— Ponta,
old fellow, how's the lumbago and how's
all at home ?" "Better, thanks. I'm a
bachelor just at present—wife's visiting
her mother." "Ali, then you're a fish
out o' water," "Precisely--honwater 1"
—"How did you like my sermon ?"
said a, vain clergyman to a distinguished
chance listener. "Ah, sir, there was one
beantiful passage.', "Yes, yes," said the
dominie, delighted, rubbing his hands;
"and what Was that?" "The passage
from the pulpit to the vestry."
—Two 'Yankees were once describing
the character of the third. One defend-
ed him, and the other 'disparaged his
honesty. "Wall," said the first, "you
must admit he has lots of moral princi-
ple." "He orter have," retorted the sec-
ond, "for he never useany."
—An old lady, on hearing that a
young friend had lost his place on ac-
count of misdemeanor, exclaimed : "Miss
Demeanor ? Lost his place on account of
Misdemeanor? Well, well! I'm afeaxed
it's too true that -there's allus a wo-
man at the bottom of a man's difficul-
ties !"
—A genuine "down -easter" was lately
essaying to appropriate a Pquare of ex-
ceedingly tough beef at dinner in a Wis-
consin hotel. His convulsive efforts with
a knife and fork attracted the attention
and smiles of the rest of the company,
who were in the same predicament as
himself. - At length "Johnathan's"
patience vanished under his ill -success,
when, laying down his "utensils," he
burst out with, "Strangers, you needn't
larf—if ,you hain't got no regard for the
landlord's feelings, yon °Ater have some
respeot for the old bull 1" This sally
"brought down the house."
—A. young fellow in a Western town
was fined $10 for kissing a girl against
her will, and the followmg day the dam-
sel sent him the amount of the fine, with
a note saying that the next time he kiss-
ed her he must be less rough about it,
and be careful to do it when her father.
was net about.
—An old colored preacher in Admits,
Georgia, was lecturing a youth of his
fold about the sin of dancing, when the
latter protested that the Bible plainly
said: "There is a time to dance." "Yes,
der am a time to dance," said the dark
divioe, "and it's when a boy gets a whip -
pin' for gwine to a ball."
—A contributor to Casaell'a Magazine
gives the following advioe ; "Keep your
mouth eaut when you read, when you
write, when your listen, when you are in
pain, when you are walking, when you
are running, and by all means when you
are any. The hiblt is diffiault to ac-
quire, but improved health is worth tak-
mg trouble about."
—Theodore Hook once dined with

host, deprecatingly, am sorry to say
that you'll not get to -day such -a dinner
as our friend Tom Moore gave tut."
"Certainly not," replied Hook ; "from
a Hatchett on can expect nothing but a
chop."
— An old-mieerly character wanted
iboy to go with a letter a distance of four
-.miles, for which he WrA to give him the
handsome fee of one penny. The youth
didn't think so much of the penny as the
old man, and said—"Ony Aker body
wad gie me a eaxpence." The old meat
rejoined with a miserly chuckle—"Man,
I could get a letter tae gang tae Lunnon
for a penny."
—A country apothecary, not a little
distinguished for his impudence, in the
hope of disconcerting a young clergyman
whom he knew to be a man of singular
modesty, asked him, in the presence of a
large company at a public assembly,
"Why did tbe patriarchs of old. live to
such an old age ?" To which the clergy-
man replied, "I suppose the ancient pa-
triarchs took no physic."
— Old coach), "Now then, Sam,
'tain't to no good you a-hargyin' wi' me;
I tells you that there's a big knee, and I
says wherever there's a hinlargement
there's allus a weakness." Sam (becom-
ing exasperated in defence of his favor-
ite) : "Werry well, then, what I fay. is
as how you've gotten a desperate big 'ead,
and that lookabad for you 1"
--"Come over and preach for me to-
night," said a Chicago divine to a clerical
friend whom he met on the street, not
many days since. "I can't to -night,"
was the reply. "I'm -almoet down side
with a headache. "Well," drolly ob-
served the other, "I guess you can do it,
for if you preach as you usually do, you
won't have to use your head any 1" Then
they both laughed just as heartily as
though they had been the worst kind of
sinners.
— "The stately step of a piper" is a
proverb in Scotland which reminds one
of an anecdote of a certain noble lord
when in attendance upon the Queen at
Balmoral, a few years ago. Hewing been
commissioned by a friend to procure a
performer on the pipes, he applied to
Her Mrty'S piper, a fine stalwart
Highlan mon, and, on being asked what
kind of performer was required, his lord-
ship said in reply, "Just such another
as yourself." The consequental Celt
readily exclaimed : "There are plenty
o' lords like yoursel', but very few sic
pipees as me."
_A minister in a Scotch senport town
was descanting before a large audience
upon the peril of unrepentant sinners as
they drifted down the stream of time.
He compared them to a tempest -tossed
bark, bowing under the hurricane, every
bit of canvass torn from its spars, and,
driving furiously upon adjacent breakers.
At the climax of his skillfully elaborated
metaphor, the minister shouted,"And
how, oh, bow shall the poor mariner be
saved V An old salt in the gallery, with
his whole soul absorbed in the scene,
sprang to his feet and screamed, "Let
him put his helm hard down, and bear
up against the waves."
—A carping -old woman once said to
her pastor • "Dear me, ministers mak'
muckle adae aboot their hard work; but
what's twa bits 0' sermons in the week
tae mak' up? I could do 't mysel',"
"Well, Janet," said the minister, good-
humoredly, "Let's bear you try it."
"Come awa' wi' a text, then," quoth she.
He repeated with emphasis: "It is bet-
ter to dwell in the corner of the house-
top than with a brawling woman in a
wide house." Janet fired up instantly,
"What's that you say? Dae ye intend
onything personal ?" "Stop, stop ?"
broke in her pastor. "You would never
do for a minister," "And what for no ?"
said she. "Because, Janet, you come
ower soon to the application."
A Boy's Experience in Going to
School.
A serious phase of disease is that which
attacks a boy on a day when he particu-
larly objects to going to school. He tells
his mother, with the confiding frankness
peculiar to youth, that he does not feel
well this morning. Ho doesn't know
what it is, but he is lame in the joints,
his head aches, and he doesn't feel a bit
good. He moves about slowly; openly
refuses food, :ooks dejected, negligent,
unhappy. Quite frequently he can be
heard to sigh. But in all his pain he
never forgets the clock. As time ad-
vances to the hour which marks school
time his symptoms increase. He doesn't
say a word about school to his mother.
Ile feels too dreadful, perhaps, to talk of
such things. He is certainly in a bad
way. His sitths increase as the dreaded
time approaches, and the physical sytrop-
toms of decay become more and more
minutes of the quarter. Still she says
nothing: His nervousneas almost
maddening. Four minutes. three min-
utes, two minutes. One minute. Still
she makes no sign. Will his reason for-
sake him?
It is t•he quarter. Now he should start
according to custom. One would think
he had every encouragement now, but he
knows that even at five minutes later he
can make school by hurrying. The agony
of the suspense becomes exquisite. He
trembles all over and he cannot help it.
His hair is moist with perspiration. It
seems as if he would give up everything
and sink into the grave if he could but
know the result. How slowly the clock
move& It stares at him with exasperat-
ing stoniness. The ten minutes are
reached. He breathes easier. Not a
word hos been said to him about school
His mother sees that he is too ill to go,
and she rympathizes with hian. Heaven
bless her. Did ever a boy have such a
good noble mother this? Visions of
sunny fields and shady woods and run-
ning streems unfold before him, stirring
the very depths of his soul, and filling
hia eyes with team of gladne.es.
"John 1"
Like a great shock the beautiful pio-
tures fallaway and he is shot from the
pinnacle of hope into the abyss of de-
spair. There is no mistaking the voioe.
"Mercy CAM hors you an; not
reedy for, school. Como, stbrt your
boote." -
"I do not feel "Krell enough to go to
school," he %Thine*, hardly realizing the
dreadful change that has come upon him
with such blighting force and swiftness.
"I gue.a you civil dying quite," Ls the
heartless,reply. "And if you ain't at
school You will be galloping over the
neighborhood. Hurry, I tell you."
"But it is almost nine o'clock, and I'll
be late," ho proteste in desperation.
"Late ?" she repeats, looking at the
clock. "You have plenty of tinie'. The
clock !;, nearly a quarter of /an hour
fast."
Merciful Heavens/ He goes down
before the terrific blow in a dash. A
quertair of an hour fait! Bleeding at
every pore of his heart, stunned by a
shock which was as terrible as unexpect-
ed, he ora -els inside of his jacket and un-
der his hat, and starta on his way in a
dazed manner that is pitiful to- behold.—
Danbury News.
The Value of Blarney.
Traveling* Circuit, Dan O'Connell and
a brother barrister, Henry Deane Grady,
had to pass through a dangerous part of
the country, then infested by robbers.
At the crowd inn of Fermoy, they had to
dine in the tap -room. A corporal of dra-
goons and three privates entered and sat
Clown to drink. O'Connell and. Grady,
before passing by night through the Kil-
worth Mountains (which the nbore a pe-
culiarly evil name the evil name, the
roads being difficult and the robbers
numerous and dangerous) wished to pro-
cure some powder and ban. Having
this object in view, Grady turned to the
corporal and said abruptly:
"Soldier, will you sell me some pow-
der and ball ?"
"Sir, I don't sellpowder." replied the
corporal snappishly.
Will you then have the goodness to
buy me some ?" said Grady, "1 believe
the fellows that aro licensed to sell it
here are very chary of it."
As this we* . immediately after '98, a
general feeling of distrust, even- terror
still perveded the island.
"Sr, "replied the corpoeel, more tartly
then before, "you my go yourself;
I am no man'a messengee but the
Ring's."
O'Connell belied the first opportunity
of whispering to Grady, "I wonder,
Grady, that you who have so much
mother wit, should hare been guilty of
the blunder of calling the corporal sol-
dier.' Did you not see the mark of his
rank upon hie sleeve? You have griev-
ously wounded his pride and turned him
against uaby thus undervaluing him in
the eyes of hie own soldiers, whom he
doubtlesa keeps at a distance, and among
whom he plays the officer."
Grady kept silent, and in a minute the
insinuating Daniel accosted the offended
eon of Mars.
"Sergeant," srid the wily advocate,
"I am very gird that you and your brave
fellows hero had not the trouble of es-
corting the Judges this wet day. It was
excellent busineso for those yeomanry
chaps."
"Aye, indeed, sir," said the corporal,
this time speaking quite civilly,and mani-
festly highly flattered at having been
styled sergeant by the young batrister
"it was welt for thoee not under these
torrents of rain."
"Perhaps sergeant," resumed the
bland and sly diplomatist, "you would
have the goodness to proenre me some
powder and ball in town. We are to
pass the Kilworth Mountains and shall
want ammunition. You can, of course,
have no difficulty in purchasing, but it
is not to every one they'll sell these mat-
ters."
This clever proceeding, by method of
sap and mine on the part of the oily
young barrister, was simply irrestible.
The corporal in a moment forgot all
about his offended dignity. Dan's blarney
went down like new milk with drops of
Lethe's water,
"Sir," said the corporal, with the ut-
most bonhommie and even effusion,
shall have great pleasure in requesting
your acceptance of a small supply of
powder and ball. My balls will, I think,
just fit your pistol. You'll stand in need
of ammunition, for there are some of those
outlaying rebelly rascals on the moun-
