BORN IN A PRISON.

A reporter of the Baltimore Sun gives a
long account Of a visit to the Maryland Pen
iteniary, from which we clip the following
laughable incident: ,.I..f5 ...e. 10
From the chapel we were conducted to
the women's department., and here the prev
alence Of female influence was directly per-
cspliblo. Paper, cut nte fapciful forms, uc-
cordngto the taste and disposition of the
occupants of the respective dormtores, or
namented the wall. ,Phe right hand, though
doomed 10 the service ofthe untiring wheel,
has not forgotten its more delicate cunning.
And here, if we had time, VIC might read in
these the herogyphs ofmany secret and
unuitered thought. But 'twero hardly just
to scan too closely the solitary sadness Of
the prisoners lie--that prisoner, TOO, a wo-
man. We proceeded into one rosm, rather
beyond the ordinary dimensions, and there
sat young mula,o woman plying her need
le and rocking cradle, in which slept q
little one, Of her own hue, of only some
three or four months old. The warden had
remarked, casually, on entering, that the
child was born in the penitentiary. Born in
a pcnitentiury! May its death be more au-
spicious. Some of the jurors had passed on,
but group fingered a moment by the era
die; the young weman Dimbly wrought her
needle, and seemed insensible TO the pres
ence Of others. Seme remarks were made,
sub coce, which led one efthe jurors to ask
the damscl by way ofascertaining il she were
a wife as well as mother. "Thal's fnc
child-how old is ~ ''lt is four months
old, sir" she replied, without raising her
eyes. "Iadeed only four months old--qui,e
a Rne child. And how long bave you been
hereY' "71ree gears, sir" "Tbree ysars''
exclaimed our verify juror, stepping back
a pace, aud starting for the injured honor Of
the State. Locks weto sagaciously inter
changed, and we wouldn't assert that wink
or two didn't pass in some quarters before our
friend returned to the charge. You've been
here three years, have yeu" eyes, sin
"Well, The baby is four months old--ahem--
l"-there was twitching about the mouth
ofthe girl that told plain enough that she
could enjoy joke, though prisoner, and,
after a p9uss which she eastcised as much
as possible, with proper respect for the pur-
poses of the inquiry, she just lifted her eyes
to observe the effect Of her remark, and qui-
elly said, ''It's not my child, SIR" All
hands eased off into the passage, where a
general laugh ensued, our worthy friend who
conducted the interrogation very properly
observing, that "he was determined 10 find
The bottom of that, any how" .rt 7tHT
