Beware of EVIL Report.

A story is told of woman who used
her tongue to the scandal of others and
made confession to the priest of what she
had done. He gave her ripe thlstle-top,
and told her to go out in various directions
and scatter the seed one by one. Wonder
ing at the penance, she obeyed, and then
returned and told her confessor To her
aInazement. he babe her go back and gather
the scattered seeds; and when she objected
on the ground that it would be impossible,
he replied that it would be still more i'm
possible to gather up and destroy all the
evil reports which she had circulated about
others. Any thoughtless, careless child can
scatter a hundred Of thistle sseds before
the wind in a moment; but the strongest
and wisest men cannot gather them again.

the Lauderdale Review
We have been laboring under the impress
sion that the system of leasing the peniten-
tiary convicts of the State was established
by an act of the Legislature, and that it
was conducted strictly in conformity with
that Act, but we notice that our cotempo-
rary OF the Lauderdale Review is laborin 6
under an entirely different impression in
regard to the matter. He seems to think
thst the whole matter is left discretionary
with the Governor, and koes SO far as to
charge Governor Stone with having "dis-
regarded the dignity and responsibility of
his Office by letting out convict sentenced
