New York, is now engaged upon
scheme to build three or more ships
800 feet long, with aecOmmoda-
tons for 800 passengers, and to cost
100000 each-to run between
New York and Milford Haven, 10
Wales, aud to make the trip within
six days, lthe rate for passage to be
$50 more than that asked by the
managers of the present slower craft.
Each steamer is to be divided into
fifty water>tight compartments for
me sake of safety, and the power of
propulsion will be tbreefold as great
as that of any rival steamer, for the
sake Of speed. Mr.. Lorillard ex-
presses himself as being very san,
guine of the success of his plans =
No emigrants or freighss will be car
ried. The company's line is to be
called the American Express Line.

WHAT A oHrLD's KISS COULD DO

In a prison st New Bedford, Mass /,
there now is a man whom we call
jim, aud who is prisoner on life
sentence. Up to last spring he was
regarded as a desperate, dangerous
man, ready for rebellion at any hour.
He planned "a general outbreak, but
was given away by one Of tho con-
spirators. He plotted general mu
tiny or rebellion, out was again be-
trayel lie then kept his own
counsel, and while never refusing to
obey orders, he obeSed like a man
who only needed backing to make
bin refuse TO.
One day in June party of otran'
gers came TO the prison. One was
an old gentleman, the others ladies,
and two of the ladies had children.
The guide took one of the children
on his arm, and the other walked
until tho party came to climbing the
stairs.
Jim was working near by, sulky
and morose al ever, when the guide
said to him: Jim won't you help
this little girl up the stairs =
The convict hesitated, a scowl on
his face, and the little girl held her
arms out TO him, and said If you
will, | guess iii kiss you.
His scowl vanished in an instant,
aud he lifted the child up as tenderly
as its father would have done. Half
way up the stairs she kissed him.
At the head of the stairs she said
Nov you've got to kiss me, too
lie bIushed like a woman, looked
into her innocent face, aud then
kissed her cheek, and before he
reached the foot of the stairs again
the man had tears in bis eyes. Ever
sioce that time he has been chang
ed man, aud no one gives less trou-
bic
May be in his far away Western
home he has Kitty of his own -

that ne may forsake bis evil ways,
