REpoRT OF TaE STATE Prison INSPECTORS -
We transfer to our columns, in an abridged form,
the report to the New Yolk Legislature, by the In
spectors of the State Prisons. 1t is doc ument of
great interest to all persons who are alive to the
condition of society generally, and to the welfare
of those who have been shut from the world by
mourning the penalties of crime. There is one
point suggested by the inspectors that will not be
overlooked II il that in reference to the hopes of
pardon, or Communication of sentence, for the crimi-
nal Without any such promise of better future
than can be found within the walls of a prison, a
criminal would lose all vestiges Of self-respect;
while the hope that an improved moral condition
may induce the legal authorities to abridge his
term of incarceration, operates as an incentive to
application in trade, or in studies which will lead
to positive benefits There seems no reason to be-
leve that the exercise of the pardoning power, un-
der circumstances OF a proper character, has an
evil tendency upon the communities of criminals.
The prison statistics show that the result almost
invariably desirable one.
Another point of considerable importance in the
report of The inspectors is that in which these gen.
tlemen answer the very grave charges contained
in the April report of the Prison Association, the
executive committee of which were sometime
since empowered by the Legislature to visit our
| State prisons. At the time the report was made,
we published some of those charges against the
wsrdeps and aficers OF the State prisons, apor-
ton of The report Of the ascot alton; and thiak
it quite proper state, that in the present report
there are evidences that the charges were falsely
made. Many members of the association have
certified that they were not aware of any such
attacks being made upon the officers connected
with the State prison; and we imagine that the
Legislature will now perceive the necessity OF
terminating the quarrel, by changing the law
which has created this conflict. II The officers OF
the Prison Association wish to visit our prisons,
they should do under stipulated regulations
which may not interfere with the privileges
other parties appointed by the State for the ma
napeme MT of criminals

been in the habit Of coming into her room,
and sitting in her lap or kneeling by her
side. whilst she repeated passages from
Gods holy word, or relate stories of the
wise and good mon spoken Of in its pages.
"Hush!" said lady who was watching
beside her couch. Your dear mother is

this she came forward. and laid her hand

him from the room. Roger began TO sob

The ear Of the dying mother caught the
sound. Although she had been nearly
insensble to everything transpring around
her, the sob Of her darling aroused her
from her stupor. and turning to friend
she desired her to bring her little son, and
lay him on her bosom. Her request was
granted. and her child's rosy check and
golden head nestled beside the pale, cold
face of his dying mother. "Rodger, my
son, my darling child, repeat this verso
after me and never forget 1t, "when my
father and mother torsake, me, the Lord
will take me up" The child repeated it
two or three times distinctly, and said his
prayer. Then he kissed the cold almost
rigid features before him, and went to his
little couch. The next morning, he sought
as usual, his mother, but he found her
stiff and cold.
This was her last lesson. He has rev.

whole world will serve you so, if you give
them the same cause. Let every one.

calls, "the small sweet courtesies in which

As he had always been accustomed, in
telling his tales, 10 indulge in expressive

lay handy calculated TO add to the effect,
no surprise was felt at his having prepar-
ed pistols. He began by narrating the
loves Of young girl and young man.

claymore glitters in the rays Of the rising
sun-and his powerful voice rings out like
a thunder peal upon the morning air, as
he shouts aloud his we'll known war cry
upon the breeze
"Death to The Tories! Marion Icome!'
The countepance Of Ellerslie paled as
he heard the terrible sound, and releasin O
the form Of Marion, he sprang 10 his horse;
but when he arose in his stirrups his head
was Glove TO the chin by descending
blow from McDonald's claymore, and he
sunk liieless to the earth. Seizing hold of
the reins Of Marion's pallrey, he turned
him towards the farm house, and galloped
hastily onward.
"Do not go there-a hundred red dra.
goons are resting in the yard"
"Their doom is sealed-listen!" and as
he spake a loud volley rang forth upon the
blast, and the thick volumes of smoke
curled mp above the roof of the house. and
a loud crash Of arms resounded through
the yard. Marion fixed an enquiring glance
upon her lover, who replied by simply
saying
"'ris Marion and his men!''

SPANISH COURTSHIP.

A young man had entered the diligence
which was going to Segovia. place had
been allotted 10 him in the interienr; hare,
OH starting, he und only one companion,
a lady, strangely travelling alone; her fig
ure was all that il should be. but mantiI-
la covered her face. Consequently. to
use the words OF novelist, "a strange
sensation suddenly took possession Of
him-love entered his soul" After some
civiIites, he proceeded 10 take her hand
which she withdrew. while she gared at
him with two dark eyes through the lace
that enveloped her. Again he took her
hand; he kissed it, and feeling perfectly
safe from intrusion. he insisted on her re.
moving her veil. With this request, after
some resistance, she complied, and her
features fully answering all his expecta.
tons, he might have assured her Of his
approval; but as Segovia is approaching,
he is compelled to leave her; before doing
so, however, the youth presses her TO tell
him where she lives, and as she leaves the
diligence, she give her name and address.
An hour had scarcely elapsed when he
hastens to the house which stands alone;
evidently but one family occupies it. He
asks for Don Eugenia. and is ushered into
room furnished with unusual comfort.
The lady he seeks is sitting alone. She
beckons him with a naughty gesture to be
seated. Within doors his impertinence
has quite deserted him, and having hum.
bly, obeyed her she thus addressed him.
"Senor Cabellero," she said, "this
morning a woman, widow, and unpro-
tected. was forced by affairs to leave Mad.

taken i'll: her affairs at Segova could not

road; but how her hopes were realized you
can inform her. But think not because
she could not defend herself from insult
she cannot take vengeance" and drawing
a pistol she presented it 10 his forehead,
and continued, make your peace with
Heaven, for the earth you see no more"
He does not tremble. though he sees ii
is no jest; his brow quails not. and the
emotion that causes his voice to quiver, is
not Of fear. He looks the lady in the face
and says:
"Wouldst thou kill me because | love
thee so much?"
His eye, his voice, and his courage
achieved the conquest he had commenc.
ed in the coach, and casting aside the
deadly weapon, she told hun she had but
tried his love, which she was now convinc.

THE MORALITY OF THE SEXES.

There can be no question that women
have as much to do with making libertines
as the EVIL One" Did the females put
the same value on roues that men do on
the fallen angels" society would soon
realize the benefit Of it, The effect Of
women on morals is more potent than
millions Of sermons from the pulpit. An
old philosopher very justly observes that
the morality OF the sexes depends entirely
upon the circumstances Of the case.-that
the virtuous behavior OF the one is in ac-
cordance with the opinion set upon it by
the other; and that were either sex TO set
about the reformation Of vice in the oppo-
site, it would be easily effected There
are few men who would marry woman
whose lips are continually fraught with
ndecency; whereas many ladies', reared
in the strictest delicacy, do not hesitate to
associate with the betrayers of innocence,
and to give countenance 10 their late hours,
indulgence in drinking and other excess
ses. As women are more affected by the
prevalence Of immortality than men. it is
really strange that they do not frown down
those vices of the men which are so fire.
quently fatal to their own tranquility
Many female would not refuse 10 dine
with profigate, who would think herself
foully insulted were she invited to take tea
with couriesan; but the only difference
between the two is. the one wears panta-
looms, and the other the paniaietts-the
morale is the same. Cheshire Repu6licGs.
