The Georgia Penitentiary.

The Milledgeville Recorder, furnishes
the following information with regard to
this institution
"Near eight months have passed since
it was placed under the direction of its
present officers, and everything appears
to indicate degree Of industry and ener-
gy on the part of the principle keeper
Maj. Zachry, highly creditable to himself
and his assistants. 1t will be remember
ed from the report to the last Legislature,
that the institution was out of materials
to work, besides heing greatly in debt
The Legislature made appropriations to
pay this Indebtedness, but made no allow
ance for future operations. How the in
stitution has improved in eight months
so wonderfully as it has done, we are at a
loss to conjecture, for the change for the
better seems almost incredible. But to
particulars.
"A new and superior engine of twenty
horse power has just been erected and
put into operation. To give the necessary
supply of water, n new and capacious
well has been dug. The shoe shop has
been considerably enlarged, and new
brick car shop I2o feet by go is in course
of erection. They have already finished
ten new freight cars for the State Road
and the timber for fifteen more is now
dressed and ready to be put up. Besides,
what have already been sold, they have
on hand, six thousand pairs Of negro
shoes, thirty jersey and two horse wagons
fifty or sixty sets double and single har-
ness, and quantity of common furniture.
The vats are full of hides with sufficient
bark on hand to finish them.
There arc at present one hundred and
five convicts, one female. There were in
the institution at the commencement of
the year, only 90, and two of them were
pardoned by the Legislature, and three
subsequently by the Governor--two of
whom were females. There has been but
one escape, and that one recovered"

7 II L LOST S @ N;
Disappointment and Revenge.

FROM THE DIARY OF LAW CLERK.
A small pamphlet was printed at Bury
st. Edmunds, Suffolk, in 1908, which pur-
ports to be "a Full and Complete Sum-
mary ofthe Extraordinary Matters, brought
to light concerning the Br;dgman Family
and Richard Green, Of Lavenham, with
many interesting Particulars never before
Published" BY this slight brochure
which appears TO have had local circula-
ton only, and that very confined one
i have corrected and enlarged my own
version of the following dark page in the
domestic annals of this country.
One Ephraim Bridgman, who died in
, 1888, had for many years farmed large
quantity Of land in the neighborhood of
Layenham, or Lanham (the name is spelt
both ways) a small market-town about
twelve miles south Of Bury st. Eimunds.
He was also land-agent as well as tenant
to noble lord possessing much property
thereabout, and appears to have been a
very fast man for those times, as, as,although
6 he kept up appearances to the last, his on
ly child and heir, Mark Bridgman, found,
on looking closely into his deceased faith
ers affairs, that were everybody paid, he
himself would be left little better than
pauper. Still, if the noble landlord could
beinduced to give very long day for the
heavy balance due to him,--not only for
arrears Of rent, but moneys received on
his lordship's account,--Mark, who was
prudent, energetic young man, nothing
doubted Of pulling through without much
difficulty,-the farm being iow-rented and
the agency lucrative.
This desirable object, however, proved
exceedingly difficult Of attainment, and
aftera protracted and fruitless negotiation,
by letter, with Messrs. Winstanley, Of
LncoIn's-Inn-Field's, London, his lord
ships solicitors, the young farmer deter
mined, as last resource, on journey TO
town,in the vague hope that on person
al interview he should find those gentle
men not quite such square, hrd, rigid
persons as their written communications
indicated them 20 be. Delusive hope!-
They were precisely as stiff, formal, ac-
curate, and unvarying as their letters
~Thc exact balance due to bis lordship,"
said Winstanley, senior, "is, as previously
stated, ~, l03. las. 3d., which sum Sc
cured by warrant of attorney, must be paid
as follows: one half in eight, and the re-
manning nciety in sixteen months from the
present time.n Mark Bridgman was in
despair; taking into account other habili-
ties that would be falling due, compliance
with such terms, was, he felt, merely de-
ferring the evil day, and he was silently
and nioodily revolving in his mind wheth-
crit might not be better to give up the
game ~ once rather than engage in
prolonged, aud almost inevitably disas-
lfcus struggle, when another person enter
ed the Office and entered into conversation

The Ministers Faults.

We are prone to look on the dark side
of things; and this in more ways than one.
l have not time now to explain the philos-
oophy Of this; L would barely suggest that
1t may be because we see things in tho
shadow of our hearts.
1t is because of this disposition to look
on the dark side of things, that we are
prone to speak Of the faults of others fath-
er than of their virtues. When gloomily
disposed, we always regard things moro
discouragingly than they really are SO
when we speak Of the faults of others, we
make them worse than they really are.
In both cases we fail to do justice, simply
because we thrust the one side too much
out ofsight.
If speaking of the faults of others is an
injury to them in gcnaral, it must be moro
so in particular, when those whose faults
we magnify arc those who occupy infu-
cntial positions in society. Hence We
suppose, that speaking of the faults of
ministers mnst be attended with peculiar
evil. If an impression is made on any
mind to prejcdcc him against minister,
his influence over that mind is, to great
extent, lost. Thus single remark may
do irrcparablc injury to some soul. This
is n solemn consideration.
There are sometimes church members
to be found, who habitually speak of the
faults of their own pastor. We do not, Of
course, deny that all pastors have faults
they have this treasure in earthen vessels,
and are men of like passions with others,
and,, as such have their failings. We are
only insisting that it is not prudent, and
is not just, and not christian to speak of
these things; at least not without great
care, and only when it is not absolutely
required, in justice to others.
The evil becomes still greater when pa
rents allow themselves to speak of the
faults and weaknesses of their pastor in the
presence of their children. Such remarks
have an effect upon the hearts and minds
OF children, the importance of which is sell
dom considered as it should be. The chill
drcn of family ought to be taught to re-
gare the pastor with the greatest love and
reverence; but how can they do this when
they hear his weaknesses, which they nev-
er suspected, banded about by their OWL
parents Who does not see that soon the
minister will lose his influence over them?
Parents sometime wonder and complain
that their children are not attached to the
Church. Would it not be well to pause
and inquire how far the habit which we
are reproving, lies at the bottom of this
silent alienation Must we not believe
that it lies much in the power of parents to
attach their children to the Churchl If
the children hear only good from their pa
rents in regard to him, their attachment
to the Church is secured.
We ask parents who read this, to give
the matter a few moments serious consid-
Grafton; and we hope, that if they believe
these remarks to be just, they will be led
to benefit by them.-German Reformed
Messenger.

ADMISSION, and few moments afterwards
| found myself in the pass-room. The
young man-Mr. Andrew Bridgman,-
was there, and the lady, who had fallen
talnting upon one of the benches, was his
mother. The attendants were admins
tering restoratives to her, without effect,
till an inner door opened, and the under
sheriff, by whom she was personally
known, entered; when she started up and
interrogated, with the mute agony of her
wet, yet cleaning eyes, the dismayed and
distressed official. "Let me cntreat YOU,
my dear madam, "he faltered, ''to retire.
This is a most painful-fright-"
"No-no, the truth" shrieked the
unfortunate lady, wildly clasping here
hands. 81 shall bear that best!'
Then grieve to say" replied the un-
der sheriff, that the marks you describe
two on the left, and one on the right
arm, are distinctly visible"
A piercing scream, broken by the words,
"My son!-oh God!-my SOM burst from
the wrctched mothers lips, and she fell
heavily, and without sense or motion,
upon the stone floor. Whilst the under
sheriff and others raised and ministered to
her, glanced at Mr.. Andrew Bridgman.
He was as white as the iime-washed W all
against which he stood, and the fire that
burned in his dark eyes was kindled-it
was plain to me-by remorsc and horror,
not by grief efalone.
The cause of the sudden appearance of
the mother and son at the closing scene
of this sad drama was afterwards thus
explained:-Andrcw Bridgman, from the
moment that all hope of procuring a COM
mutation OF the sentence of the so-called
Robert Williams had ceased became
exceedingly nervous and agitated, and his
discomposure seemed to but augment as
the time yet to elapse before the execution
OF the sentence passed away. At length,
unable to endure the goadings of tortur-
ed conscience, he suddenly burst into the
room where his mother sat at breakfast,
on the very morning his brother was to
die, with an open letter in his hand, by
which he pretended to have just head
that Robert Williams was the long lost
Mark Bridgman! The sequel has been
already told.
The conviction rapidly spread that
Andrew Bridgman had been from the
first aware that the youthful burglar was
his own brother; and he found it necessary
to leave the country. He turned his
Inheritance into money, and embarked
for Charleston, America, in the Cleopatra,
from Liverpool. When off the Scilly
Islands, the Cleopatra was chased by
French privateer. She escaped; but one
of the few shots fired at her from the
privateer was fatal to the life of Andrew
Bndgman. He was almost literally cut
i'll two, and expired instaneously.
Some friends to whom have related this
story, deem his death an accident; others,
a judgement: l incline, must confess, to
the last opinion. The wealth with which
he embarked was restored to Mrs. Bridg-
man, who soon afterwards removed to
London, where she lived many years.
sad ones, no doubt, but mitigatcd and
rendered endurable by the soothing balm
of clear conscience. At her decease,
not many years ago, the whole of her
property was found to be bcqueathed to
various charitable institutions of the
metropolis.
