PENITENTIARY CoNvICTs AT LARGE
Two men named William Poague AMI Charles
Jones alias George Morgan, made their escape from
the Penitentiary on Sunday night last and have
not since been heard Of Poague with the aid of
small saw, cut hole in his cell door large enough
to pass through. This door was made of seasoned
oak, stripped with sheet iron. After completing
his operations, Poaeue remained quiet until the
interior guard had passed through the passage and
examined the fastenings of the cells when, it is
supposed he entered the passage unlocked the
door of Jones' cell with key which he had pre-

down the centre arch into the main yard, where
they found ladder and a quantity of lumber

HOttentOt Wives, Sons, and Mothers,

The Hotientot famales are at once the
laziest and most ill-used of women. The
priest, when he marries them. blesses
them. saying-"May you live happy. and
year-a-year bear son. who may live TO
be good hunter and great warrior"
1t is needless to say that this wish is
not always gratified. So long as the hus-
band exists. the Hettentot woman is the
slave and drudge of the hut. and on her
devolves the task of providing for the
subsistence of the family, while the hus-
band eats. drinks, smokes. and sleeps
When the Hottentot wife becomes wild
ow. she must continue so for life, unless
she chooses to purchase husband at a
price which, according to our notions. is
sometimes more than the delight of a
wife in Hottentot matrimony would war
rant. She must consent to lose a Joint
of one of her fingers; and this process TO
be repeated as often az being left wild
Ow, if she wishes again to contract mat
rimony. The Hottentot son on coming
of age, is presented with a cudgel. with
which he is commanded to beat his moth
er; and this reques st is very dutifully com
piled with by the son. in order to mani
fest his strength and ability. '.just as
some youths are prone to evince their
manhood by smoking cigars and swearing
profanely." 1t is strange that the moth
er. though often fainting under the cruel
beatings of the son whom she has nursed
at her bosom. does not reproach him; but
she admires his manliness and dexterity
in proportion to the chastisement.

Thoughts While Digging.
A spade! a rake! a hoe!"


These are the best instruments Of pros.
perily-the emblems of true honors and
dlgnities. All men are diggers-but few
dig 10 good purpose.
The editor, with eager scissors, digs
into his pile ofexchanges. hoping TO throw
up an idea or an anecdote, a fact, or a
fancy; but the soil is poor, and the crop
but scanty.
The preacher digs at mems hearts, and
drops the good seed with pious care, but
too often their growth is chuked by "the
rocks" which men gather by the pocket
full, and cling to as if they were of great
er value than the rich harvest of good
deeds.
The lawyer digs at his clients pocket,
and where the soil is rich and deep. he is
4 most skillful aud successful digger
He goes TO the bottom of the matter aud
never fails to reach the evi! root.
The physician digs for disease, but like
the unsuccessful gardner, he sometimes
cuts the life root. and the patient and
the disease are unrooted together.
The teacher digs in the virgin soil of
the mind. and plants the seeds that are
to bear plentiful crops of good or evil
How careful should he be that no tares
intermix themselves with the wheat
The Californian digs for gCld-and a
grave. If he does not obtain the former.
he is sure of reaching the latter.
The loafer digs in the devils vineyard,
and ps plentiful crop of tares. The
soil is fruitful of all poisonous weeds,
and bene eath the shade of their rank grow tn
the slugSard sleeps and awakes no more.
The hero digs for crop Of laurels-a
few scanty leaves. without fruit, and fa-
ding soon. How infatuated. TO labor SO
necessarily for few garland leaves. when
natore offers all. who are not ashamed to
dig whole crops of trees and flowers,
and bursting BUDS. and ripened fruits.
from which to weave the garland of re
pose.
After all, who digs to better purpose
than the farmer? All nature works with
him and for him. The sunshine and the
flowers fruc,ify the earth-,he rootets
croop about the soil, sue king up the rich
juices for the sustenance of the parent
stem, the young lcovoo oot TO work upon
the atmosphere, and grow with every
breath they breathe; the buds expand, the
frdi: ripens and glows in the soft sun
light of Autumn, and the farmer gathers
in his harvest and is thankful. Then. if he
has soul above turnips, he may sing with
Andrew Marvell:
Here at the fountains sliding foot,
Or at some fruit-ree's messy root,
My soul into the bough doth glide,
There. like bind, it sits and sings,
Then whets and claps its silvery wings.
Aud. Ill. prepared for longer fight,
Waves in its plumes the various light"
Finally, the sexton digs for all. He
gathers not only ripe fruit, but the tender
bud, the stout saping. and the vigorous
plant. He is in partnership with Death,
whose crops never fail, nd whose scythe
is never idle.
