Washington in a Tight place.

Washington in Tight place.
There is fine equestrian
statue of Washington in the
Union Square New York City.
1t was placed there by private
subscription on the part of the
wealthy persons living in that
vicinity. At the corner of
Broadway and -th street,
lives a close listed millionaire,
whom we shall call Judge Doe.
General H, who was the
active man in soliciting the
subscription aforesaid, called
upon Judge Doe to put his
name for five hundred dollars.
alive hundred dollarsp' ex-
claimed the Judge, "why, my
dear sir, it's preposterous, it
won't pay; of what service to
me will such a statue ever be2"
The General, of course, went
into a highly patriotic and ex-
ceedingly eloquent argument
in behalf of the subscription;
but all in vain. At last the
Judge rose, and after pronounc-

He teels, as well as sees the

He is changed as by magic,
and fells that he has within
him the elements of manhood.
He breathes a purer atmos-
phere, and as his body by
helathy exercise and healthy
food grows stronger, so his
virtues, so long dominant, so
suddenly aroused - grows
stronger-he is saved. The

No high fences, walls, lots,
bars and locks are used to re
tain the prisoners, but they are
bound by the strong cords of
love and kindness. They stay
because they love to stay. The
Superintendent and his lady
are to them not only legally
in the parents stead, but the
boys feel that they may go to
them as children do Ito real
parents. Providence seems
to have fitted Mr.. Howe and
his noble wife for this particu-
lar calling. Few persons could
if they would, and lew would
if they could, do all that these
people do for the little com,

The Reform Farm.

We are permitted to copy
from private letter the fol
lowing in relation to the State
Reform Farm:
The boys come to the main
building to chapel and for
their meals; they eat breakfast
between light and sunrise.
Then halfof each family goes
to the fields to labor and half
to books; at noon the details
alternate, the laborers of the
morning being the students in
the afternoon. In the evening
each family assemblies in its
school room. Then the boys
read newspapers, books, maga-
zines, &C.; two evenings per
week they have regular ex-
ercises in vocal music; some
times have reading exercises,
and a literary society aids in
developing the latent powers
Of genius, and in making stu
dies pleasant. There seems to
be no iron sceptre here, but
one of love and kindness; the
boys are we'll feed, well clothed,
we'll cared for; every thing is
in order, the entire place being
neat, clean and comfortable
They seem like students at
school, and yet like boys at
home; they, work, study and

Last year l went to Europe
on one OF the finest vessels
that ever plowed the waters of
the Atlantic. We had very
beautiful weather until very
near the end of the voyage;
then came a most terrible
storm that would have sunk all
on board had it not been for
the captain.
Every spar was laid low, the
rudder was almost useless, and
a leak had shown itself, threat
ening to fill the ship. The
crew were all strong, willing
men, and the mates were prac-
tical seamen OF the first class;
but after pumping for one
whole night, and still the wa
ter was gaining upon them,
they gave up in despair, and
prepared to take the boats,
though they might have known
that no small boat could ride
such a sea. ..a..
The captain, who had been
below with his charts, now
came up. He saw how mat
ters stood, and with a voice
that I heard distinctly above
the roar of The tempest, he or
dered every man to his post.
1t was surprising to see
those men bow before the
strong will of their captain
and hurry back to their pumps.
The captain then started be-.
low to examine the leak. As
he passed me I asked him il
there was any hope He
looked at me, then at the 9th
er passengers, who had crowd
ed up to hear the reply, and
said, rebukingly:, o .-it
| sYes, sir, there is hope as
long as one inch of this dec k
remains above water. When
/ see none of it then I shall
abandon the vessel, and not
before; nor one of my crew
sir. Every thing shall be done
to save it, and If we tail it will
not be from ihaction. Bear a
hand, every one Of you, at the

we despair, but the captains

rance and powerful will mas.
