making mp of the record TO go before the peo-
pie. Mr.. Henszey was found to be the only
Philadelpbia member whose manly bosom
contained sufficient courage to prompt him to
vote against the iniquitous measure. The old
proverb about giving his due to a certain
individual whose name is offensive to ears
and eyes polite, applies to this remarkable
case, and we tender Mr.. Henszey our com
mendation for once.
In the House, the principal diversion was In
witnessing the practical defeat of a budget of
blls-most of them ''empty"-by adverse re-
ports from committees. Among these we're
the bills giving subsidy to steamship line
between Philadelphia and Bremen, and re-
quiripg all practitioners of medicine to be
graduates of some medical college. So we
cannot anticipate the extension of helping
hand to our foreign commerce, and are still to
be at the mercy of quscks of all degrees. But
of course the people who kindly sent the

lie utility will receive a moments favorable
consideration at the hands of the Harrisburg
comedians.

OUR YOUNG CRIMINALS.

The Report of the Managers of the
House of Refuge on Randall's Island,
New York, says "There are num-
bers of young men beyond the age of
16, serving sentences in our peniten-
tiaries, who, by the disgrace and de-
moralizing influence of a penal insti-
tuition, are shut out from all hopes Of
reformation and Of better life. That
these young men, even up to the age of
20 or 25, may be reformed by a system
analogous to that pursued In a house
of refuge, the managers are fully per-
suaded."
In reference to which the Tribune re-
marks; In the reform of prison
treatment which, sooner or later, must
be effected, unless we fail to perform
an obvious and imperative duty, the
first step, and without which no reform
is possible, will be a classification by
which criminals VIII be associated ac-
cording to their moral condition, One

MY OLD HOME.


How viYidly the picture rises before
my mind as write-the quaint, old
house, with it's many projections and
odd hooks its inconYenient stairs and
queer little Iean-tO, the scene of so
many bOyish experimentsi in carpenter
ing, painting, and the like
And then its grand old attic, which,
to our childish fancy, seemed an in
exhaustible store-house of treasure,
that we dragged forth from gloomy
corners in shuddering haste, almost
feeling ghOstly hand upon our shOul-
ders, or seeing the CLEAN of a pair of
ghostly eyes
What bright, cheerful, happy home
it was! How the sun streamed into
the "keeping-room," where the dear
mother sat, the children played, and
the lazy cat stretched first one furry
side and then the other to the fire!
What glorious times we had on rainy
Saturdays, constructing diOramas and
emitting endless menageries out of pa
per, which we painted after life, and
exhibited for penny head How
our quiet mother, sitting sewing, her
brow under muslin cap, would praise
our skill and stroke the tangled locks
from our eager faces while the tod
ding little sister would seize the Op-
pOrtunity to clutch some much-coveted
| gayly painted animal, and crush it in
But who could be angry with the
happy baby, cooling and talking to her
/ self over the mangled fragments Now
that the little, restless feet have long
been laid to rest, the dainty fingers
meelly clasped above the pure heart,
we thank thee, heaven, that no re-
proachful word Of angry deed comes
| back to us to turn our quiet sorrow IN
/ to stinging remorsei

we sat by the cheerful tire, drawing
and painting scriptural pieces, which

in the crotch of a tree, while he hunted
for that provoking orioles nest. The
tissue-paper bundle feel out, and the
wind played the mischief with it, and
blew it nobody knew where, save the
orioles.
All the powdered gold had vanished
from the fields, and the birds were
hushing their little ones to rest, when
Abner got home. Susan was ready to
sit down by candle-dght ana trim % her
Dunstable bonnet, while her heart
went pit-a-pat at the thought of where
that bonnet was going next day.
You may be sure she was dreadfully
put out when she found that needless
Abner had lost the face-trinznf11 and
she could not help crying little with
VexatiOn as she pinned in last YEARS

the next morning, to ind the lest
hnery; but it was gone. Susan and
Henry had started for the meeting at
Goose Greek before he got back. Susan
wore those dreadful old artidcials, but
they did not spoil her market.
During the next October, just after
Henry and Susan were g cried IN meet
ing,n Abner was running across Foxes
back Orchard-lot, with his dog Nap,
when at last, on the top boush of a
young greening tree, he spied the pen

ones had flown away long ago, but
woven neatly into the side or the nest
was the pretty white satin taste and
the blonde edge poor Susan mad cried
over.
When Henry Cole came to preach in
Drastic, everybody but Susan sgronder-

much there was in him. Ever Abner
has found out that he is a trEEe man, in
spite of his g store-clothes,' and If I
am not much mistaken, that curious
orioles nest now hangs over the min

CROSSING BAYOU.


4 was out hunting once,' he said,
in good Westernee which shall not at
tempt to Initiate, Hon this river, 1.-THE
Mississippi and I came late in the day
to bayou. Ny way lay down the
river, and around that bayou was six
or seven miles, while across it was only
two or three hundred yards I didn't
want the walk, and I did not want to
be belated, so i determined to try the
bayou. There was no water in its it
was all mud-that kind of Shiny.
greasy auickmud that holds on to q
man and sucks him down in spite of all
his strength. I knew the danger, but
1 thought j could manage It. Hunting
about found two planks washed up
from some old flat-boat, maybe, years
before. With these started out, step
ping from one to the other, pulling
first one and the other from behind me
and putting it ahead, till got to about
the middle of the bayou. Every step I
bad taken was more difficult. The
farther / went the more my planks
were sucked down by the deviIish mud,
till could stand up no longer, but was
Obliged first to sit and then to lie down
fiat on my stomach, to divide my
weight more equally.w Hauling myself
On the foremost, I would turn around
as on q pivot, grasp the plank behind
haul it alongside, and then shove il
ahead of me. Pretty soon had to help
nv hands with my teeth, for all the
strength of both was needed to raise
the planks from the ouagmire that
sucked them down. At last one of
them sunk beyond my reach. Flat on
my face, on single plank, in the mid
die Of the bayou, the mud rising around
me ready to swallow me Up-I couldn't
swim ashore, for I wasn't in the water
couldn't wade, for to stand up was to
go down like plummet; to move six
inches either way was sure death. No
human aid could ever reach me; no
human creature might pass that way
for months no house, no road was
within miles of me. My only chance
for life was another plank. That I
must have or lie. there till I starved to
death, or roll over and make an end of
il in the nasty mud. Then 1 remem-
bered my jackknife. Getting it out of
my pocket, cut under me, lying fiat
as was, slowly and patiently upon the
plank that long seasoning had made
almost as hard as iron, till / cut it in
two. Then pulling myself on the
farther half, 1 drew the hindmOat
ahead of me, and so went on as before
got out at last but, stranger, I was.
