ANECDOTE.

An Irish paper gives the following anecdote of
the simplicity ofa raw Pat who had just been trans
planted from the interior to Dublin. Pat had been
sent by his mastert to purchase half-a-bushe otoys-
ters, on the quay but was absent long, that ap-
prehensons were entertained for his safety. lie
returned at last however putting under his load in
the most musical STYLE Where the devil have
you been ? exclaimed his master. sWhere have
been why where would be but to fetch the oys-
ters!' and what, in the name of ST. Patrick kept
you SO long," Long! by my soapl think have
been pretty quick considering all things Conslde.

years old, hnw can it be expected faithfully to
tain all the points in conversations which took place
50 long ago as 1892 When, therefore, Gen. jack
sons implied admission, that some conversation did
take place, is coupled with the known in6delity Of
his memory, his denial that it was ''such conver-
saton as stated to have taken place." will as the
Editors Of the Enquirer pre-suppose, require colla-
teral evidence to support it.
The Editors Of the Enquirer ask, sswhat were
the friends of General Jackson to do under these
circumstances? Were they to let the calunlny
sweep over the country uncontradicted-or were
they to seek the truth where it was to be found
We will answer the question. II they knew Gen.
Jackson to be innocent, it was their duty TO arrest
the calumny at once and effectively. They should
have sought he truth were it to be found. "vlz:
Of Mr.. Tazewell and Mr.. Tyler, who were referred
TO- II is true the Enquirer says that MIR. Tyler
.'denes all personal knowledge Of the transaction"
This is as equivocal denial as that Of General
/ Jackson himself Will Mr. Tyler and Mr.. Tsze-
we'll say that the menace was not matter OF notorl-
ETY. in Washington, and that the feeling it excited
was not general? VIII they say that it is not we'll
known that the execution of the menace was pre-
vented by the interference Of Commodore DECATUR
AS to the quibbing about the precise terms OF =
conversation. and the place where it was held, we
deem it altogether unworthy Of a man seeking the
highest dignity in the country, and lying under an
lInputation which, his own friends acknowledge,
.'touches his honor most nearly"

their constitutional duties, had severely commented

uars through twilight closters stealing
Faint the sounds Of music roll;
IT'S the solemn requiem pealing,
Breathed for departed soul.
Distant now the voices blending,
Through the dim aisles iioa,ing stray,
Like incense to Heaven ascending,
Bearing soul and sense away!
Now the notes on frailty dwelling,
Low and trembling are preferred
Now in ia,t and triumph swelling,
High, as if their God had heard.
Now again they die-bcrcaying
Hope Of dreams round which it twlned,
Gone are loves wild VISIONS, leaving
Tears, and weight Of earth behind.

Prison Discipline Society, formed in Boston,
June 80, 1895.
Object, to promote the improvement of Public
Prisons, particularly within the United States. A
very extensive examination into the state of prisons
throughout the country, has shown the evils exist
ing IN them TO be enormous and that, too general
ly, they are, instead of correctives the very
ries OF vice. Perhaps the most prominent evil is,
that OF vicious men being brought together in great
numbers, especially at night to teach one another
lniqulty, and harden one another in sin. The con-
sequence OF this has been, that the prisoner when
released, has, in too many instances gone forth on
ly to commit new outrages and that very large
portion of convicts have consisted of those who have
been recommtted. The State prison recently es-
tablished at .auburn, N. York. one which this So
ciety recommend Z" model worthy ofthe world
imitation some of the characteristics of which are
the following neaness, industry, and the almost
entire subordinaon and subdued feeling Of the con-
yicts. In their solitary cells, they spend the night
| with no other book but the Bible; and at sunrise,
| they proceed, in military order with the lock
march, to their workshops thence, in the same
order to the common hall, where they partake Of
their frugal meal in silence. Not even whisper is
hhard. The convicts are seated in single file, al
narrow tables, with their backs towards the centre
so that there can be no interchange Of signs From
end of the shop to the other, you may pass SOC
convcts without seeing one leave his work. or turn
his head to gaze. They attend to their business
from morning to night the work is laid aside al
at once, and the convicts return in military order
to their solitary cells where they can, if they
choose, read the Scriptures undisturbed, and ther
reflect, in silence, the errors of theirlives. They
must not disturb their fellow prisoners by even ;
whisper. Each cell is provided with Bible, OF
Testament, by law of the State. The prisoners
also receive the undivided attention of wise ant
faithful and religious teacher, who spends all hi
time in the prison visiting the sick, teaching those
who cannot read, preaching in the chapel, ON th'
i Sabbath, the unsearchable riches of Christ, ant
going from cell to cell to administer the reproof
and consultations of religion to individuals. In thi
prison there is exclusion of all the positive evil
of the old SYSTEM which arise from cro1yded rooms
pick pockets, tieves ancendiares, and co,nteeiters
' and from unnatural crime.-A number ofnew pri
sons already erecting on the plan of that at Au
