Peeuliar Copverslon of an Old sinner.
The New York correspondent Of q Western
paper tells the following storyfor the benefit
of some hard cases: ..
He saws he once knew man by the name
of Reed. commonly known as "Old Reed
2 Reed was quite notorious in his way, and
his reliqious belief was, that after death he
sbould reappear in the form of an animal,
and thought he would be horse. Now,
iiOld Reed was a hard man, and was not in
the habit of treating his family as a religious
man should. One day after his wife had
suffered his abuse as long as humanity could
endure, she concluded to give him a brief
talking toto touch him upon his religious
belief. So, resolutely seating herself by his
side, and looking him full in the face, while
a tear drop glistened in her eye-for she was
serious and thought perhaps ne was correct
in his faith-she commenced: freed, wish
to have a serious talk with you; | have
something to say to you, and you must hear
Il. ] have duty to perform, and shall do
it, end then if you are miserable hereafter It
Will not be my fault, You believe, Reed,
that when you die you will turn into some
animal, and you think you will be horse.
"Now, ifyou keep on your present course,
and continue to neglect and abuse your fam
at the gaming table, when you die you will
turn into some old twelve-shilLing horse, and
some dirty clam-peddler will get you, ant
you will be hard.worked and half starved

A VENERABLE ENGLISH LITERATEM.-The
literary man who has made the pen a pro-
fessiOn longest, now alive, is Cyrus Redding,
of England, who has just been ffty-fVe
years in activity, and has probably written
more than any living co temporary. He
was personally acquainted with Lewis, Wal
colt, Topham, Sheridan, Canning, Scott,
Wilson, Hogg, Moore, Campbell, ETC., with
numerous distinguished foreigners, and
characters, not literary, but eminent in the
arts and philosophy. He may be called a
link between the men of the past and pres
ent in the same profession. His first printed
essay bore date 1904, and he is yet in health.
Besides contributing to most Of the best
known periodicals of the past, and editing
above hundred volumes besides, from thirty
TO forty of which he was the author, he es-
tablished six newspapers, which he edited
in England, one his own. He also edited
one in France, and was connected with five
others in this country. He wrote in nearly
ell the principal periodicals up to 1852
What is more singular, he set out in support
of Liberal principles when all was against
them, and ne lived to see them triumphant
when in his gray hairs.

Tombs for the LIvinE-Further Horrors Of
the PapRl Prisons.


The Florence Ndzione presents us with the
summary of little work entitled the Prisons
of Paliano. 1t is the record of the expe-
rience of several political prisoners, written
in the 'Pontifcal dungeons of Psliano. These
tombs for the living are now, thanks to re-
cent events, empty. One prisoner writes:
In the fort of Paliano there are about 200
political prisoners, dressed like the criminals
condemned TO the galleys, and, like them,
shaved. They are divided in to five sections.
Those condemned for life are shut up in
cells, about nine spans wide and about six
teen long, including the little table of brick
work. Other cells about three spans wider,
contain three prisoners; and others, not
much larger, have seventeen all huddled to-
gether. In the first of these there is a small
grating over and opposite the door, through
which the food is introduced. The other cells
have one window, and sometimes two, with
an opening of about four spans in breadth
and one in hight, and through this the pris-
oners are fred upon if it be necessary to
keep them quiet. The food and hospital
arrangements were villainous. The patients
are neglected and in-treated. THE medical
attendants will hardly ever send patient
to the hospital and when they do send him
they almost always keep him on strict diet
Perhaps they have secret understanding
with those who contract for the food. One
day, when some complaints were made on
account Of the bad soup in the hospital, the
person who made the complaint was taken
by two keepers, and, by dint of blows and
kicks, was forcibly thrust along into the
darkest dungeons, and there detained many
days by order of the governor. When some
prisoner at the point of death refuses to re-
ceive confessor, he is removed into soli-
tary cell, and there after havingheaped upon
him thousand outrages, orders are given to
one Of the lowest turnkeys to kill him by
suifocation. The fact is known from the
confession Of the turnkey himself, who on
one occasion, refused TO be a party to this
barbarity. The corpse is inferred in the in
terror of the fort, and the governor is present
at the funeral. Sometimes he gives kick
TO the head of the corpse, and commits SINH,
lar outrages.
