THE LOST BOY.
AN AFFECTING NARRATIVE.


The editor of the Sandusky Mirror was
formerly warden Of the Ohio Penitentiary.--
He gives the following as one Of the Incl
dents which occurred while he had control
Of that institutions
/ had been few months in charge of the
prison, when my attention was attracted to-
and deep interest felt IN, the numerous
boys and young men who were confined
therein, and permitted to work in the same
shop with Old and hardened ConvIcts This
interest was increased nn every evening. as
saw them congregated in gangs, marching
silently 10 their meals, and thence TO the ir
gloomy bedrooms, which are more like liv-
ing sepulchres, with iron shrouds, than
sleeping apartments. These young men and
boys being generally the shortest i'll height
brought up the rear OF the companies. as
they marched to the terrible clock STEP and
consequently most easily attracted attention
To see so many youthful forms and bright
countenances mingled with the old and har.
dened scoundreis, whose visages bctokcned
vice. malice and crime, was sickonng to the
soul
But there was one among the boys, a lad
ol about II years Of age, who bad particu
larIy attracted my attention not from any
thing superior in his counlenance or general
appearance, but by the look of utter despair
which ever sat upon his brow, and the ST.
lent uncompIaining manner in which he Sub.
mtted to all the hardships and degtadations
OF prison life. He was often complained Of
oy both officers and man, and | thought un.
necessarily, for light and trivial offences "A.
ga'nSt the rules of propriety; yet he seldom
mad any excuse or apology and never denied

the punishment, without tear or murmnr.
almost as a matter Of course, seeming TO be
thankful that it was no worse. He had ev.
identity seen better days, and enjoyed the
light of home, parents aud friends, if not
the loxurles Of life. But the light of hone
seemed to have gone out within him his
hea'th was poor--his face pale---his frame
fragile, ond no fire beamcd in his dark grew

le Wheel on which my Mother Spun
BY A. DELor;G.
1t is many u year ogo,
Yet can hear the hum,
l fancy, of that little wheel.
On which my Mother spun.
How oft returning from the field, ..
I've braved the broiling sun, .......
And stopped aud listened TO the wheel
On which my mother spun. ........ .
And when the cold and stormy nights,
OF Winter used to come
For hours I've watched that little wheel,
Ga which my Mother spus.
There was no music half SO sweet,
or fiddle, flute or drum,
AS was the whizzing OF that wheel
On which my Mother spun.
There was n chcerlnlncss and health,
Couchcd in that pleasant hum;
And wealth, I've thought, wGs in that whee
On which my Mother spun;
For competence VIC seemed TO have,
And debts VIC owed to nonc-
While VIC kept up that little wheel
On which my Mother spun.
But now. alas that little wheel
Has ceased lis pleasant hum,
And parties gather in the room,
Where once my Mother spun.
The wool and cotton mills about,
With steam thousand ton,
Have stopped those little wheels, fear,
On which cur Mothers spun.
Our sons and daughters dress, know,
Finer than VIC have done;
Yet were in debt ten times as much
AS when our Mothers spun.
I'll go and buy little wheel,
And let my wife begin,
To teach my daughters that fine art,
The science how to spin.
Then happy days will come again,
And debts will fly apacc,
When the spinning wheel the parIor
And dining room shall grace.
Then may the doctor make his pills,
And box them up in tin;
But VIC shall need Lut few of them,
When the girls have learned to spin.
Oh, wish owned a little wheel,
long 10 hear its hum;
/ wish il was that little wheel
On which my Mother spun.

Mr.. Siegfricd:
Having a little leisure [ conclude
to improve it by dropping you a line.
As Congress is not in session there
is not much Of political interest trans
piring. Indeed the Capitol itself looks
somewhat gloomy and deserted, as does
the city, in some respects, since it owes
its principal Importance to the fact that
it is the Seat Of government; but whe-
ther the city is socially or morally the
worse for the absence of these sources
of excitement, which bring together
such vast crowds Of people, Of whom tho
majority are not, in many cases, the
friends Of good order and sound moral
lty, is questionable.
The Columbian College opened it's
annual term on Thursday, Sept. -,
having delayed its opening one day in
consequence of proclamation Of the
mayor of the city, appointing Wednes-
day day of fasting and prayer in be-
half of the afflicted cities Of Norfolk
and Portsmouth. The number Of stu
dents regularly entered is about sixty.
Under the administration Of its present
very efficient and popular President,
Rev. DR.. Binney, with the strong fac
ulty recently installed, the number will
doubtless be much increased, and the
reputation of the institution, which has
been for some years at rather n low ebb
in consequence Of want of enterprise
among its supporters viii be fully re-
established. The greatest objection to
the institution is The extremely high
price Of board--from $3.50 to $500
per week; but the advantages aecruing

porte Of that immigration, one hund-
red and fifty thousand were laborers.--
Were they neededi If SO, why were
fifty thousand laborers idle in New York
and Philadelphia. suffering for food,
though willing and anxious to work.
Aud remember, this invasion is to be an
nual, marching always one way. Eve.
ry year is to bring lis hosts, eweeping
to our shores, always. Do we wantthe
seventy thousand mechanics coming this
year? Shall we want the ninety thous-
and coming next year, and the one hun
dred and twenty thousand still coming
the year aiterl Let American mechan-
les, Native-born American men, who
arc elbowed out ofthe workshops, an
swer. Let the American operatives,
elbowed out of the factories, American
laborers, from the fields answer.
This process Of compelling our intelli-
gent American mechanics, operatives,
and laborers out of the workshops, tho
factories, and the fields, to give place
to this ceaseless drift of foreigners, is a
fact which is becoming Of too melan-
choly Dotoriety. The cupidity of cap
ital seeks those who can work at the
lowest prices, and the foreign hordes
thrown upon our shore being schooled
to starvation wages, and the mode of
living on the very line Of simple exis-
tence, have the advantage over our work
men in this race of competition.
The question is pertinent ono. Shall
this tide of immigration be suffered TO
go on,rising higher and higher,unti Eu-
rope shall have been emptied of her
cannaille, her sans cui0tte her ignorant
her bigotted, her besotted, and supers,i-
tious human surplus, and we shall have
received it all ? Are these United
States to be the great reservoir into
which the debris, the dregs and oifal of
Europe are To be thrown always! The
American party insists that they shall
not. That self f-preservation selfrespect,
the character of our country, and the
perpetuity as well as purity of our in
situations, tho great interests Of Ameri-
can labor, require that this current of
shall be checked or turned
aside. The American party insists that
we have imported crime enough, pau.
peIism enough. ignorance, superstition,
blgotry enough, and that it is time such
importation should be stopped. 1t a.
VOWS its purpose there fore boldly. and
will stand by it to the bitter end, to dis
courage foreign Immigration to This

its enemies make the most of il,
