A LIFE PASSED IN PRIsoy.-The Baltimore

A LIFE PASSED IN PRIsoN.-The Baltimore
Sun has the following account:
"On yesterday morning, prisoner, named
William Downs, was released from the Peniten-
tiary for the seventh time 1t appears that he
WAS first convicted ofstealing, on the 10th Of De-
ccmber, 1923, when but l3 years old, aud sent
to prison for one year. AT the age Of l6, (Nov
q, lS26D he was again convicted of stealing
under three indictments, for which he was i'm
prisoned 6years At the age Of %, (Feb. Is,
1882 he was convicted Of stealing once more,
and sent to the p"niteutary for years. On the
9th Of June, 1874 few months after his re-
lease-he was convicted ofstealing for the fourth
time, aud locked up for years. On the 18th
of February, 1912, CATER having aired himself
three years this time,) he was convicted Of steal
ing for the fifth time, and ordered to be locked
up until the 5th Of April, ls47. On the 18Th Of
October lS+7, (sixmonths after his last release
he was convicted Of stealing for the sixth time,
and sentenced 70 be cooped and Gagged till the I'd
OF April, 1850; and, on the 18th June, 1850,
he was found guilty Of being "a common rogue
and vagabond," and ordered back to his old quar-
tiers for two years more, from which he was turn
ell ont for another airing Oh the 18th inst
Now, whether Billy will keep himself uncaged
this time till the dog days, is a matter of excee-
ding doubt, Judging from his formerpropensities
1t has been near twcnty,nine years since he first
entered the penite"t"ry, and fully t~]nty:f'e Of
the jail and penitentiary together, and tmay,
therefore, be very properly said, that from the
are of thirteen, Billy's home has been entirel in
prison. A question to be determined is, wheth
cr this man is corstitutionally thief or whether
from his tondness for his prison home, he only
commits small thefts in order to get back again.
For the qualification of the curious, We will state
that Billy is a native of Baltimore city, is now
"A years old, and represented himself as being
addicted to intemperate habits. He is well be-
haved as prisoner, and is an evceent weaver,
and there is no doubt, if we had had IIonsc Of
Refuge for his reception when he committed his
first offence, at the age of l3, he would have
grown up an honest and industrious man."

COOP ADv!cE.-There is such good sense in
the following, which although old deserves to be
repeated once year:
If anything in the world will make man
feel badly, except pinching his gngers in the
crack of door, it is unquestionably quarrel
No man ever fails to think less of himself after,
than he did before one-it degrades him in the
eyes of others, and, what is worse, blunts his sem
sibiity to disgrace the one hand, and increases
the power of passionate irrtability on the other.
The truth is the more quietly and peaeeably we
all get on, the better the better for US, and the
better for our neighbours. In nine cases ont of
ten, the wisest course is, if a man cheat you to
quit dealing with him; if he be abusive, quit his
company if he slander you, take care to live SO
nobody will believe him. No matter who he is,
or how be misuSes you-the wisest way is tojust
let him alone for there nothing bettef than this
cool, calm and quiet way of dealing with the
wrongs we meet with"

WATCH OF THE HOMELESS.

The homes! the homes! how fair they stand,
Out clear against the twilight sky:
The glowing ,ints of parting day
Der the wiudow-panes, in gorgeous play,
Like golden phantoms, fly,
The waving trees make music sweet,
Z The clinging vines embracing meet,
The creeping tendrils softly greet,
In the hum ofthe passing lay.
! II has faded now-yet holy light
Falls round the trellised bower:
Ihear the low and sweet good night"
From the infant buds to the flowers;
Within the homes how the faces glow
Inthe fre-lghts fitful shine;
Fond kindred hearts in union grow
Where the hopes oflove entwine.
The homes! the homes! how calm they gleam,
In The hush of the midnight hours;
The souls within are dreaming now;
Rapturous sleep DER the pallid brow
Its hallowed mysteries showers.
Night hath its tones for the dreamer's ear,
Which thrill the watching soul with fear;
Spirits ofawe are gathering near
see, know, l feel them here!
The shadows ofthe dream land are fitting away
Like clouds from the wind-god's breath;
Istand alone in the morning ray,
have waited all night for death.
MY locks fall damp With chilling dew,
And dim my eyes with tears.
Oh, God may the homeless ones be few,
In the rush ofthe rolling years.
