What a pity we must stay in cities these
golden autumnal days. Hhw We envy the man
that can be in the fields. or sculling his boat
up the creeks or in the rivers that run between
the hills; and even the engineers that roll
along their winding way, with the great
mountains on either side, or dash across the
intervals and over the calm brooks not yet
swollen to furious motion, ON whose level sur
face the crimson leaves lie thick rs stars at
night in the blue sky Days of DEATH Au-
tumn days are not that. They are days of
life, when nature stands like man in his
prime, or a woman when she has come to the
fullness of her charms.
And then the silences of autumn days! Sit
on hillside and look a. the valley that
stretches beneath you. 1t is mid. day The
cattle stand grouped in the meadow full fed
from the rich aftermath. There are no
reapers in the feld-nO Gathering noise of
farm machinery; no hurrying of teams and
nen-but every lot is empty, filed from
fence to fence with the lush sunshine, amid
which the cattle stand dreamily The cloud
overhead stands still for the shadow beneath
is motionless. The leaves zigzag downward
in sowest movement, or fall in indolent spi-
rails. Nature is drowsy with haze. She has
come in her indolent mood, as if after the
toll of growth she would enjoy the couch,
the odor and the sunshine she has so well
earned.
Then the smoke in the whence comes
it: There are no fires; even the chimney
tops in the morning show it by the blue fila
ment from the seasoned wood underneath.
And yet the air is dusky like a creole Ma
ture has the color of a brunette when flushed

newly p!owed fields, are spiritualizcd. The

out the fragrance now and the waving grass,
from which the earthiness is passing, waves

a Chance for Every One.

We often come across people who have
been unfortunate for life. They have lost
property. They have lost standing in COM
munity They have lost their earthly loves.
Some of them have lost even faith and hope
Many of them have lost what would have
made them happy, by their own foolishness
Their troubles all run back to a wrong decis-
ion, to one fatal hour. In that hour they
did what they should not have done; and all
their troubles are traceable to that one event.
These people write to us for advice, for SYM
pathy, some of them from a feeling that
they must tell somebody. What shall we say
to them?
The past blunders do not kill Past follies
do not forfeit future opportunities. God is
always ready to give one another chance.
Heaven is never hopeless. 1t never despairs
rs to those who are cast down. God seems
to feel sure that every prodigal will one day
or another come back and is more anxious
to get the best robe on his back than to give
him a lecture. God never scolds He for
gives, and that is the end of it. It would not
hurt good many to initiate him in that re-
spect There is such way for the parent to
forgive child that it would have been nobler
to have thrashed him on the spot
If you have failed, then, in any respect, no
matter from what cause, no matter whether
by little or much, do not cloud the sky of
your future by gloomy thoughts about it. BE
hopeful, hay ppy, courageous Old errors, like
dead bodies should be buried Bury them
quick, and plant some Towering deed ON the
mound The mound will level with the years
but the floral deed will renew its life with the
seasons.

The document was accordingly handed
across the table The great man adjusted his
spectacles, broke the seal, gravely read over
his own composition from beginning to end,
folded il and pocketed it with methodical

artist said, with an air of official solemnity

LAURA BBIDGMAN, who has been before the
public more than 40 years, and whom Dr.
Howe introduced to general notice by teach
ing her, though a blind deaf-mute, to spell
and read in few months, and afterward to
write and play skillfully ON the piano. is now
nearly 30 and has redeemed all the expecta-
tiOns formed of her childhood She has a
good general education, including many ad-
vanced studies she writes we'll and has
many mental resources. She sews excellent
ly; is acquainted with domestic duties COM
municates freely with her friends, and enjoys
life keenly. Through the one sense of touch
her intellectual and moral nature has been de-
veloped from chaos and darkness to form and
light 1t may be gratifying to learn that her
theological views are sound, though many
people regret that she was not earlier instruct
ed in the Bible, to which instruction DIR.
Howe objected, lest premature attempts at re-
ligious education should give her unworthy
ideas of God" All things considered, Laura
Bridgman is a marvellous example of what pa
tient, intelligent, sympathetic effort can
achieve, and the story of her life must always
have great interest to the student, the philos-
opher, and, indeed to all in any way concern
ed with humanity and its mysteries.

Mrs. z. nILLiaos, srrr. 20, 1878.

Out Of our door has passed the face
That was SO sweet TO see.
Thou must be to an angel grown,
Measured against the Lily.Thrune;
And we have left but our own hearts
Filled up with thoughts Of thee.
God shows US not like that blest seer,
When our darlings bodies die,
The angels that they used TO hold,
Climbing the stair Of rosy gold
We pray-aud raise our eyes to SIRE
That samc uubrokcn SKY.
'Tis in the dark to hold t. God,
And hope that after all
(And let the hope, through yeilcd years,
Make dim iris Of our trars.)
The sparrows that God blesses most
Are the ones he iettetB fail
God to the fluNer-cups dulcs out dew,
Its MI to every size;
He measured hy thy deep distress
The depth Of blessing for redress,
Perhaps,-aud gave thee, for more pain,
The more Of Paradise.
God makes, by sorrow, room for jny
Before the JOY is given;
Fitting the earthly valleys, rise
The opposite hills OF Paradise;
And where there Is the least Of earth
Can be the most Of heaven.
We hold our empty arms TO God;
He, plying, stoops to see,
I'm almost sure, and proves the while
By every tear-drop, its own smile,
Aud by thy death, a dear angel
Who FITS our need Of thee.

1t is sad commentary upon our prison
system, that under it the rule has been, once
criminal always a criminal, and that the
convict thereby has been confirmed in his
criminal tendencies rather than the reverse
My more intimate connection with and OBJ
servation of its administration during the two
years now closing has but strengthened and
confirmed the views | expressed in my for
mer message, and impressed upon me the
conviction that the further carrying out of
the humane and reformatory measures al
ready so happily begun, will result in good
both to the inmates of the prison and to the
State at large.
In this age when the deaf and dumb are
taught to converse freely, the blind to read
and write, and when the faint glimmering in
tellect of the feeble-minded and idiotic is de-
veloped and strengthened into fair intelli-
gence, it would seem that n sovereign State
with all its resources, might be able to turn
back from vice and restore to virtue, YOUTH
many of whom have been brought to the COM
mission of crime more by evil associates and
untoward circumstances, than by innate Grim
inal disposition. To this end, ought not our
criminal laws TO have most careful revision
Ought not the State to own our county iails,
making them simply houses of detention for
the safe custody of prisoners awaiting exam
ination or trial Z Ought not the State prison
accommodations to be enlarged making it
possible for the cOnyicts to be classified and
more thoroughly disciplined and reformed?
RErBmyE OF JOHN p. PHAIR.
On'the day appointed for the execution of
John p. Phair, April g. 1871 and only an
hour or two before the execution was to take
place, a telegram was received from NJ, G.
Downing, of Boston, sent by advice of the
chief of police, saying that he thought he saw
and conversed with Mr.. Phair on the train
coming from Providence TO Boston on the
next day following the murder of Mrs. Friezs;
and also a telegram from Charles II. Taylor
manager of the Boston Globe, vouching that
Mr.. Downing was a reliable man.
Phair left Rutland by the early train on the
morning of the murder and went to Boston
At the trial, and in a statement which he had
caused to be published, he claimed that he
did not stop in Boston, but went directly
through to Providence, stopped over night
and returned to Boston the next forenoon.
The strong evidence of the trial against him
showed that he under the name of "E. f.
Smith" occupied a room that night at the Ad-
ans House in Boston, in which, after he left
was found part of a shawl, which was denti-
fed as having belonged to the murdered wom-
an, and that under the same name the next
morning he pawued in one place watch and
in another an opera glass and some rings,
which were also identified as having belonged
to her. He could not have done this if he
went to Providence and returned as he claim
ed, and as Mr.. DOwning's testimony tended
TO show. There was no time for investiga-
ton. deemed it my duty to stay the eXecu-
