Leaving balance of 316 in confinement,
of which 800 are males and seven
females. Such ns are enumerated as
pardoned mainly consisted of those
whose terms were about to expire, and
who were recommended for their COOL
behavior by the Superintendent By
anticipating the expiration of their
sentence, the criminal generally avoids
the deprivation of his civil rights, many
of which would be forfeited by their
consummation. The effect of this leni-
ency is stated by the Superintendent as
being most snlutary in promoting good
behavior among the convicts, and ena-
bling him, from day to day, to designate
large numbers of the convicts for work
as laborcrs, teamsters and mechanics,
without the presence of guard, outside
the enclosure of the prison, and not one
has betrayed the confidence thus reposed
in them. The Superintendent makes d
variety of suggestions for the extension
and improvement of the institat ton,
which are respectfully commended to
your favorable consideration.

and encouraging paragraph :tIhe out
look to-day is with ths!DemocracSy. New

York goes, so will the Union; and unless
the influences which have led to this con-
summation, through SO many dangers
and trials and disappointments, are
checked by similar action on the part of

.'The right sort of night for our friends

the other. 81
"Sit down here" said tho one who
had spoken first, drawing him into q cor
ner. 'We have been looking arter the
young un. We came to tell him it's all
right now, but We couldn't find him.
cause we hadn't got the precise direc-
ton. But that amt strange; for don t
think he know'd it himself when he come
to London, did hep"
"No, he didn't" replied the father.
The two men exchanged glances.
There's vessel down at the docks,
to sail at midnight, when it's high-wa,
ter" resumed tho first speaker, "and
we'll put him on board. His passage is
taken in another name, and what's bet

We met you"
Very" said the second.
"Capital luck" said the first, with a
wink to his companion.
"Great," replied the second, with n
slight nod Of intelligence.
Another glass here; quick said
the first speaker. And in five minutes
more the father had unconsciously Weld
ed up his own son into the hangmail' S
hands.
Slowly and heavily the time dragged
along, as the brother and sister, in their
miserable hiding place, listened in anx-
ious suspense to the slightest sound. At
length heavy footstep was heard upon
the stair; it approached nearer; it reached
the landing-and the father staggered
into the room.
The girl saw that he was intoxicated,
and advanced with the candle in her hand
to meet him; she stopped short, gave a
loud scream, and fell scnseless on the
ground. She had caught sight of the
shadow of man reflected on the floor.
They both rushed in, and in another in
stant the young man was prisoner, and
and-cuffed.
Every quietly DONE" said one of the
men to his companion, "thanks to the
old man. Lift up the girl, Tom-come e,
come, it's no use crying, young wo-
man. It's all over now, and can't be
helped"
The young man stopped for ON instant
over the girl, and then turned fercely
round upon his father, who had reeled
against the wall, and was gazing on the
group with drunken stupidity.
'Listen to me. father" he said, in n
tone that made the drunkard's flesh
creep. "My brothers blood, and mine.

and 1 warn you, father, that as surely as
you must one day stand before your
Maker, so surely shall your children be
there, hand in hand, to cry for judg.
ment against you" He raised his
manacled hands in q threatening atti-
tude, fixed his eyes on his shrinking
parent, and slowly left the room; and
neither father nor sister ever beheld
him moro on this side of the grave.

The Working gman's DInner.


81 have brought your dinner, father"
The blacksmith's daughter said,
AS she took from her arm the kettle
And lifted it's shining lid.
"There is not any pie or pudding,
80 will give you this"
And upon his toil-worn forehead
She left the childish kiss.
The blacksmith took OF his apron
And dined in happy mood,
Wondering much at the SAVIOR
Hid in his humble food:
While all about him were visions
Full Of prophetic bliss;
But he mover thought Of magic
In his little daughters kiss.
While she, with her kettle swinging,
Merrily trudged away.
Stopping at sight Of & squirrel
Catching some wild birds lay.
And ! thought how many shadow
or life and fate we would miss,
Railways our frugal dinners
We're seasoned with kiss.
