HELPING A CONVICT

Many convict, after getting out of prison,
would lead respectable life if he could only
begin well. But people are afraid Of him,
and won't trust him or give him employment
and SO he falls into roguery again to mako a
living The late Henry Raymond, of the
New York Times, made convict honest by
lending $40.
One day, while busy in his room, there APP
peared TO him man. saying, Is this Mr..
Raymondp 2" Being assured of this he con-
tinued-
Can speak to you few moments, sir !"
The MS. was showed aside.

tated the man.
Not from the prison, hope, y said the ed
itor, by way of putting the caller at ease with
joke.

charge few days ago."
Well, my man, hope you were inno-

and told my boss that I was a prison-bird,
and had to be out of that. Then l got an
other place and got well to work, and the
same thing happened there. Now / am look

by telling what l am, and when l get any

"Well, sir" replied the man," 81 haven't

don't know where am to sleep tonight

til found somebody to take me for what |
am worth, and give me some honest work to
do. don't want to go down hill, SIR"
The ten dollars closed that conversation on
the inst. Perhaps year afterward, Mr. Ray
mond was at a fair of the American Institute,
and while looking at some machinery on exhi-
bition, decent man in charge of it approach
ed him aud said" Is this Mr.. Raymond !"
Eyes," he replied, 81 don't remember
you.'
"Don't you remember the man from Sing
Sing ?"
mo-" said Mr. Raymond, 81 don't re-
member any man from Sing Sing"
"Why,' said the man from Sing Sing,
''don't you recollect ?" and he rehearsed the
story here recorded. He had subsisted on
Mr.. Raymond's loan until he found employ
ment in his own line with good man who
knew his story and was well pleased with
him, giving him good wages, and steady work
in place of honorable trust and responsible
ity. Taking bank-note from his pocket the
engineer repaid the borrowed money, saying
that he had carried it for some months with
out finding an opportunity to leave his work
and come to town for the purpose.
cts good ten dollars, Mr.. Raymond, for
it's just the cost of saving me from RUM
When he told the story afterwards, Mr.. Ray
mond thought it was cheap and said he had
charged all his other loans to the account of
the engineer and balanced it.

little room for reason and reflection, but adj

About the doorway low,

To the friends of long ago

With life's snowhakes in her hair,
Aud she smiles above her knitting,
And her face is sanity fair,
And | see my father, reading
From the Bible on his knee,
And again hear him praying
As he used to pray for me
So long ago

OF the boys and girls at home,
As saw them in the dear old days,
Before we learned to roam.
And | sing the old songs over
With the friends used to know,
And my heart forgets its sorrows
In its dreams ola long
Dear long ago
How widely our feet have wandered
From our old homes tender ties.
Some are beyond the ocean,
And some are beyond the skies,
My heart grows sad with thinking
OF the friends l used to know;
Perhaps l shall meet in heaven
All the loved of long ago
Dear long ago

KING q EoRa E,s THANKsoit1Ne.

When our national independence had been
triumphantly achieved the colonies, of
course, held great general jubilee. And
poor King George, who had been sadly worst
ed in the conflict, thinking himself quite as
pious as his disieyal subjects, and not to be
outdone in godlness by such rebels against
the divine right, appointed also day Of
thanksgiving for the restoration of peace to
his long disturbed empire. In the vicinity of
the monarch's residence then Windsor Cas-
tie, dwelt most estimable member of the
Church, who shared his soveregn's intimacy,
and conversed with him freely. On this oc-
casion the worthy divine vehtured to say
Your Majesty has sent out proclama-
ton for day of thanksgiving. For what arc
we to give thanks? Is it because Your Mai.
esty has lost thirteen of the fairest Jewels
from your crown p
"No, no. replied the monarch, "not for
that"
"Wcll, then, shall we give thanks because
so many millions of treasure have been spent
in this war, and SO many millions added to
the public debt?''
ono, no" again replied the king, "not for
that
"Shall we then give thanks that SO many
thousands of our fellow-men have poured out
their life-blood in this unhappy and immature
al struggle between those of the same race
and religion ?"
"No, no. exclaimed the king for the third
time, not for that.
For what then, may it please Your Maj.
esty, are we to give thanks ?' asked the pous
divine.
"Thank God p cried the king, most ener.
getically, "thank God it is no worse"
