ON, REFORM School FOR JUVENILE
OFFENDERs.-ln another place we have
spoken Of the establishment Of an asylum
for Idiots and Imbecilcs. Another praise
worthy act of the late Legislature was the
establishment of Reform School for the
protection, reform. and education of iu-
venile offenders. The Commissioners un-
der that law-Messrs Reemelin, Ladd,
and Foot-are attending to their duties
with commendable zeal, and have already
aiken the preliminary steps in the organi-
cation and permanent establishment of the
institution.
Mr. Reemelin, during last summer and
FALL visited many Of the Reform Schools
of Europe and elsewhere, and embodied
in report to the Legislature Il vast
amount of valuable information on the sub
ject and after mature consideration, the
Commissioners decided to follow, as far
rs practicable, the phn and system of the
Me.yNy Farm Reform School in France
said to be the model institution of the
world. The Commissioners have rented
4 house in Cincinnati for q temporary
House of Refuge for the females now in
the Cincinnati House Of Refuge. When
This is prepared, and the females are trans
ferled TO ii, one.hundred convict boys from
the Sale at large can be accommodated
ut the Cincinnati House Of Refuge. This
part Of the plan, and an important part in
the immediate care and reform of juvenile
offenders, will soon go into operation.
After a pro;lacted examination, they
have also purchased Reform Schooi
Farm, subject to the approval of the title
by the Attorney General. The Farm is
in Fairfield county, six miles from Lancas.
ter embraces eleven hundred and seventy
acres, and cost $14,920.
The land is approached from Lancaster
by u fine road, beng Il gentle and almost
unbroken ascent, and shaded nearly its en-
tire distance by the original forest trees
| The farm is most of it table land, very
much elevated, and overlooking a large
extent Of country with beautiful prospects
and leputed to be entirely healthy. TC

good barn and some Indifferent log houses
with quite large amount of fruit, apples
and peaches.
Some small amount Of the present year,
crop is purchased with the land, and it is
hoped that a commencement can be made
Jhis season in small way with the Re
form School Farm, as we'll as with the in
sli,u'ion at Cincinnati. But of course,
at all, this must be limited, as such III
ins.i,u ion must go slow to go sure.
AS set-oh to the advantages of thi
location, the commissioners say the soil i
thinner and the access to Lancaster is nc
equal to many other localities offered
But all things considered, especiTffy healt
and vigor among the boys, they wer
unanimous in their decision, and sanguiii
in the belief that it is most desirable l.
catiun for the Ohio Reform School.

BAD COMP A N Y.
A SKETCH FOR YOUNG FOLKS.
BY A. C. BURBANK.

1t is an old saying, that ga man is
known by the company he keeps" and
a saying more true was never uttered
This means chat the person is judged by
such company, and such judgment must
have powerful weight against the char
acter and interests of any person. A SIM
pie life -picture-one drawn from actu-
al observation-will illustrate my mean
ing.
In small country village lived a
wealthy machinist named Clark. By in
dustry and perseverance he had collect
ed handsome property, but he still car
ried on his business the same as before
save that he did not now work at the
bench, having as much other business as
he could well attend to. Among his
workmen was a youth named Nathan
Wilder. Nathan was now almost twen-
ty-one years old, and had been in Mr..
Clark's employ nearly seven years, hav-
ing been bound to him as an apprentice.
He was young man of more than or
binary intelligence, and was loved and
respected by all who knew him. His di-
rect qualities were all good, and his per-
sonal appearance was not only manly,
but eminently handsome.
Yet Nathan had one fault. He lad
contracted habit of associating with
some of the reckless and unprincipled
youths of the town. He loved 10 go
away in the evening and meet them in
some store or hall, and join with them
in q hearty laugh. story or jest; and his
social nature was of that ardent, impul-
sive kind, which leads one to join in just
such sport as may chanced to be started.
Such youth would never projecta bad
plan, but should his companions do so,
he would be almost sure to join them
Some of these youths were low and de-
graded in character; but yet managed
to hold on to a certain degree of respect
ability, through the influence of respect
able associates. Wilder knew that they
were "jolly good fellows" because he
had heard others say SO. and he looked
at nothing beyond this. He felt sure
that nothing could induce him TO do an
evil deed, and with this self assurance
he felt satisfied.
"Where now?" asked Mr.. Clark, as
Nathan was preparing to go out one
evening. The young man lived-with his
master, and had been member of the
family during the whole term, thus far,
of his apprenticeship.
30, just going to spend The evening
With few friends, " replied Nathan, with
. slight smile.

The State House is a small building

The State House is a small building
without single committee room in it.
The Representative Hall will only seat
the members by close packing, afford
not sitting place for spectators. A
good idea, there is no inducement for
speakers to make buncombe speeches, or
clap trap for the galleries, or hourishes
for the Ladies. The committee rooms
are scattered through the city, over sal
looms, shops and stores, wherever Offices
can be hired by the State. The system
Of representation is unjust. New Haven
with $4,000 inhabitants has only two
representatives; while Tolland county
with less than 10000 inhabitants; has
t,Osniy-ORe representatives. A minority
of the people rule the State. A country
village of dozen inhabitants is entitled
TO the same number of representatives
as large manufacturing town. The
Blue laws should be reformed. This
large State has two Capitals, so as to
Sare travel for their sage legislators. A
western trapper accustomed to travel on
foot could walk around the exterior bor-
der of the State in one day, and stop
awhile at noon for dinner. The Western
Reserve was Originally owned and settled
by emigrants from this Gland of Steady
Habits" hence the resemblance between
the villages of Old Connecticut and
those of Old Trumbull. The manners
and customs Of the people too. are SINH
lar. Buckeye is New Englander, in
an expanded form. He is simply mag
nifed and perfected Yankee. In his
luxuriance, he has outraged the original
Saybrook pattern, has escaped from the
rigid eastern mould and Iut on the free
dom of the gO-ahsad West. While
sauntering along the streets of Hartford
the names on the store and Office signs
strike citizen of Cid Trumbull as very
familiar names. Descendants of the
same ancestors now are occupants OF
Old and New Connecticut. That sacred
pare wherelately stood inits grandeurthe
noble "charter oak" has been sold to
George Law, of New York City. That
patriotic politician will make nice spec
ulation out of it. 1t is disgrace to the
city of Hartford that she mas permitted
the opportunity of rendering that below
ed spot, forever free and sacred, 10 pass
unimploved, and permit it to be sold to
a private individual and a nonresident.

the School Boys brains for the last fifty
years with his books, is resident O

ROBERT EMMETT AND HIS L0VG.

Il was the evening of a lovely day
the last of the noble and Inflated Emmet.
A young girl stood at the castle gate,
and desired admittance into the dungeon.
She was closely yelled, and the keeper
could not imagine who she was, nor that
any one of such proud bearing should be
an humble applicant 10 the prison door.
However, he granted her boon-.ed her
to the dungeon, opened the massive iron
door, then closed ii again, and the lovers
were alone. H was leaning against the
prison wall with downcast head, and his
arms were folded upon his breast
Gently she raised the veil from her face,
and Emmett turned to gaze upon all that
earth contained for hinl--the girl whose
sunny brow in the days of his boy hood
had been his polar star--the maiden
who had sometimes made him thirk the
world was all sunshine. The clanking
of chains sounded Ike a death knell 10
her ears, and she wept like child
Emmet said but little, We the pres 'ed her
warmly to his bosom, and their feelings
had silent meeting, perchance. as is
held in heaven when we part 10 more.
In low voice, he besought Ter 10 for
get him when the cold grave had receiv-
ed his inanimate body;-he spoke OF
bygone days-the happy hours OF child
hood, and though the world might pro
nounce his name with scorn and con-
tempt, he prayed she would still cling
to him with affection, and remember him
when all others should forget. Harkl
the church bell sounded, and he remem-
bered the hour cf execution. The turn
key entered, and, after dashing the tears
from his eyes, he separated them from
their long embrace, and led the lady
from the dungeon. At the entrance she
turned, and their eyes met. They could
not say farewell. The door swung on
its neavy hinges. and they parted, for
ever. No, not forever! Is there no heaven?
At sunrise, the next morning, he suf-
fered gloriously--a martyr TO his coun-
try and to liberty.
"And one-o're her the myrtle showers,
Its leaves hy soft winds famed,
She faded midst Italian flowers
The last Of the fair land"
Twas in the land of Italy; it was the
gorgeous time of fsunset; what a magni6
cent scene. A pale, emaciated girl lay !
upon the bed of death. Oh! it was
hard for her to die far from home in This
beautiful land, where flowers bloom
perennial, and the balmy ale comes
freshly to the pining soul. Oh, no, her
star had set, her heart was broken
When ties have been formed on earth,
.close, burning tes,' what is more heart
rending and agonizing to the spirit than
to find the beloved one is snatched away /
and all our love given to a passing flow
ret" Enough; She died the betrOthed
of Robert Emmett; the lovely Sarah |
Curran. Italy contains her last remains;
its flowers breathe their fragrence over
her grave, and the notes of the shep-
herds lutte sounds a requiem 10 her
memory.

WATCH AND WAIT.

by 2. LAWRENCE.
Watch and waitl In every trial,
Peril, trouble, stress and strait,
Strong in faith and self-denial,
Bear, but bend not-watch and watt
watch-through hours OF toll and sorrow,
Heavenward turn the sleepless eyei
wait-for sure as dawns the morrow,
Rescue for the brave is nigh
Watch and wait. Insulted nations,
Trampled, taunted, wronged, oppressed,
Hear the evangel OF salvation,
Watch and wait, and hope the best;
Foes of crowned and cowled oppressors,
Prison-bound, but spirit free,
Freedoms martyrs and confessors,
Faint not yet where'er you be.
Through the bars of dangers dreary
Hopes unfading sunlight streams,
Cheering captives weak and weary
With the sweetest household dreams
Glimpses bright OF radiant faces,
Angel-voices faint and sweet
Foretastes of those remembrances
When the long g-time parted meet.
Watch and waiti The moment glorious,
Every hour is nearer brought,
Which shall see the right victorious,
And emanciAted thought,
Gentle hearts, beat high with pleasure,
For the day is close at hand
Which shall yield household treasure
Back to many loving band

From Household Words
ONE BY ONE.

One by one the sands are flowing,
One by one the moments fall
Some are coming, some are going,
Do not strive to grasp them all;
One by one thy duties witt thee,
Let thy whole strength 60 to each;
Let no future dreams elate thee,
Learn thou first what these can teach.
One by one-bright gifts of Heaven,
Joys are sent thee here below;
Take them readily when given,
Ready too to let them go;
One by one thy griefs shall meet thee,
Do not fear an armed hand;
One will fade as others greet thee,
Shadows passing through the land.
Do not look at LIES long sorrow,
See how small each moments pain,
God will keep thee for to-;norrow,
Every day begin again.
Every hour that fleets SO slowly,
Has its task to do or bear
Luminous the crown and holy,
II thou set each gem with care.
Do not linger with regretting,
Or for pending hours despondi
Nor this daily toll forgetting,
Look too eagerly beyond
Hours are golden links, Gods tokens
Reaching heaven; but one by one,
Take them, lest the chain be broken
Ere the pilgrimage be done.
