A Mothers Last Kiss.

On the Sd of September last Samuel Nc
Murray was confined in The Tombs, in
New York, on the charge of numbering
Thomas Doyle, and twenty days later his
wife, Anna Jane was locked up in the
Tombs as an accotnplice. She took to the
prison her little child, puny two year-old
boy, so small and delicate that he seemed
hardly year old. The father was con-
fined in the prison for men, and the mother
and child in what is known as the Magda.
len, a place set apart for mothers and chill
dren, and young girls. The little family
living under the same roof saw no more of
each other than though an ocean divided
them. Day by day the little one grew
weaker, and few days ago it was plain
that it must die. Then the father was taken
to see his boy, and the little family were
for a few minutes united. On Wednesday
the father saw the boy again. He was
alive, but very weak. After the father
was again locked up in his cell the little
one died in his mothers arms. ''Hes bet
ter off now" she said, but she went, and
when her husband was brought to her cell
both sobbed over their dead child. They
said they could not bury it-they were too
poor-but asked the warden to send word
to friend. The friend declined to bury
their dead baby, and so the body was sent
to the morgue. The mother, still weeping,
made the little corpse as decent as she
could, and then kissed the cold lips, and
strangers buried her boy IN the Potter's
Field. ~ ~ ~
