Italy, if one may rely on the correspondent
of the London Times. He says:
ut is impossible for an Englishman to form
an exact idea of what prison in this coun-
try really is. In those horrible and filthy
holes hundreds of human beings are placed,
covered with rags and swarmng with YER

lows bajocco day-a fraction above one
half pence a day-to each prisoner. The
gaoler is permitted to keep restaurant to
which the prisoners can apply for provisions
at ready money. This man, therefore, is the
sole lawful purveyor of the prisons, and can
rise the price of provisions according to his
pleasure When visited the prison OF Rim

starved to death. asked one of them how

that he had sold his daily bajocco to the
gaoler for three months TO come. The cusio-

More Sufferers by the Southern Panic.

from Charleston, was Mr.. W. c. Woods. a
graduate of Harvard College He is anoth-

the South although he received no harm 9th

generally treated with kindness and consider

terror of South Carolina. and had Just reach
ed that state when the recent disunion fever
broke out. Soon after his arrival at the place
where his services were required, he found
the community very much excited, and was
told by his employers and others that per
tlaps his own safety and comfort would be
likely to become endangered if he accepted
the position he was to occupy, and advised
him to return North. This was said in the
kindest manner, and an offer was made to
pay his passage home. He accordingly left
and suffered no molestation except on one
occasion, when in the railway cars, at which
time he was somewhat hustled, but received
no harm, as the conductor of the train afford
ed him protection. He arrived in Charleston
in the hight of the excitement, and was adj
vised to procure the services of an officer
which he did, and with his consent was pu,

HOeing Corn in September.

As the present is an extraordinary year, so
devices should meet the acquisitions. On the
first of September my corn was only in the
milk, and supposed that it was destined to
be destroyed BY the first frost. The pump
kin vines covered most of the land, and such
weeds as grow in the shade had come up at-
ter the third hoeing, and all the land remain
ed damp after the rains, and the corn made
TO perceptibe advance to maturity. In this
state OF things the hoes were vigo ously ap-
pied to the ground, which was thoroughly
stirred. Weeds were destroyed, pumpkin
vines were Gu, off beyond one, or at most
two pumpkins, the sun admitted to the
ground and by the favor of four or five
warm days. the entire crop was saved. The
advantages Of that labor were in the follow

When, some few weeks since, forty of the
children in charge of the Childrens Aid So
ciety OF New York, were arranging for reno
val to the West, a boy was folding with
great care his old cap, having previously ta-
Ken out of its lining small piece of faded
calico.
"John,' called friend, "what are you 60
Ing to do with that piece of creased calico 2''
please, sir, it is not creased it is all that
| have to remember my poor mother by ; it,
part of her diess which cut off when she
lay dying in the garret in - street."
The question and answer were too much
! for the little fellow, and putting the strip un-
der his shirt next to his breast, he buried his
face in his hands, and filled the room with
his sobs.
Man, woman, whoever you be, speak ten
derly to that boy across the way. He may
be an orphan. His mother and father may
both be in the church-yard yonder. Dear
child he has none but his own little hands
by which to work his way. Speak kindly to
him. Perhaps some day an orphan may walk
the earth, whose name and yours may spell
alike.

Over ExertiOn.

Violent exercise is extremely dangerous
Young people are apt to run to extremes, as
in the following instance:
\ writer in the London Times says "That
almost all young men who have been at Ok
ford and Cambridge, especially those who
have meddled much in boat-races, have as
rule diseased blood vessels, arteries or veins,
and very many of them diseased and dila,ed
hearts-all brought on by the strain and un-
due excitement ('remora,' We. the doctors,
call it) Of the circulation induced by pulling
at boat races. In fact, the matter is now
we'll recognized both at insurance offices and
i'll the administration of chloroform amongst

iihres Of the hearts of the boys and lads sent
to Oxford especially at once give way before

to have few guns so, buying up all the

an extempore gun, by drilling out heavy

before he could use it, and he proceeded to
Lancaster alone for a cannon. He succeed

and report says his powder was then stolen.
