Affecting Scene in the Auburn Prison.

We took occasion to pass through
the Auburn Prison Yesterday. in com
pany with friend who hal never be-
fore visited the institution. Some
eight or ten persons, gentlemen and
ladies. were shown through at the
same time. Among the number was
man who We should suppose, had
reached the age OF 50 years. He wore
a sorowful AMI downcast look, and
seemed TO avoid conversation with
every one except the keeper, who ac-
companicl the visitors through the

arrested our attention, and it was ev-
ident the attention Of other visitors. -
Upon inqniring Of tn keeper il he
knew the cause Of the old mans sor
row, we were informed that he hal
two sons in the prison, sent there for
the crime Of horse stealing. The
keeper stated that the conyicts, who
were Young mon, had not been seen
by their father since their contine
ment, which WAs a little over year.

two met. hut quicker than thought the
convict placed his eyes again upon
his work. The keeper asked him if
