Old Newgate.

sold Newgate, ''as the jail of 1872 is
usually called, consisted of three dis
tinct prisons-the Masters Side,
Common Side, and Press Yard.
The first was occupied by debt
orS whose means enabled them to
pay fixed rents for there accommoda-
ton, in addition to the fees, which, un-
der the names of s'footing, ".tgarnish.
and ''chummage, "were demanded by
the turnkeys or by their fellow prisoners.
On the arrival of a newcomer, his COM
panions intimated their willingness to
"drink his health; a process for which
two ''taps," one on the Common Side,
the other in the Lodge, offered ample
facility. Should the new arrival be
! either unable or unwilling to pay the
ssfooting,, thus demanded, he was re-
quired to sacrifice part of his scanty
wardrobe for the purpose; and his fell
low-prisoners were not slow to enforce
the rule, if their victim hesitated to
comply. "Garnish " was a payment
openly extorted by the keepers of the
Jail as species of entrance-fee, under
the pretence of supplying extra COM
forts for the prisoner; while ''chum-
mage" is a term the meaning of which
seems to have differed in different jails.
On the authority of the Slang Diction-
ary, we learn that "chumming-u was
San old custom among prisoners, be-
fore the present regulations were in
vogue; when fresh man was admitted
to their number, rough music was made
with pokers, tongs, sticks, and sauce
pans; and for this ovation the initiated
prisoner had to pay half crown"
North of the hall lay one of the most
horrible apartments in the prison,
known as Jack Ketch's Kitchen, fitted
with furnaces and boilers, for the pur-
pose of boiling the heads and limbs of
executed criminals in a preparation of
oil and pitch, previous to their exhibit
tion on Temple Bar and other places of
the city. Female felons occupied sepa-
rate wards, named Waterman's Hall
and My Lady's Hold; and debtors of
the fair sex were accommodated in
room above the Kitchen. Two Con-
demned Holds, one for each sex, which
were also used by the turnkeys for the
temporary correction of such of their
charges as grew refractory under their
exactions; the Press Room, an apart
ment in which torture was inflicted in
order to compel the accused to plead;
the chapel and the houses of the gov
ernor and keepers may be roughly said
to have completed the interior arrange
ments of the prison. Chambers Jour-

Again it is New Years eve.
To Elsie how different from the
one she passed with her dying mo-

Many changes have taken place.
Lord Lortinee is not as morOse,
unsociable and unapproachable

God and time have mellowed his
stubborn, irnperious heart.
He has Elsie, winsome, joyous Ell

that the letter should never reach
Magdalene st. Berno.
Lord Lontinee thought his child
was dead, and his dark brown hair
bad been thereby fastened to the
silvery appearance itnow had. A few
years after Magdalene's Punishment
from his house he had taken into it
two wards, brother and sister. An
old friend ofhishad died and left the
two children, Henry Farreston and
his sister, Marian, to his protection.
The eldest, Harry, was sixteen, and
Marian thirteen. The years also
had found them changed-Marian
a young lady, and Harry young
man. Marian a handsome young
lady, was very much unlike her
brother She was a sweet young
girl with large dark eyes, a luxuri-
ant growth ofraven hair, and of bru-
nette complexion.
Her brother was very handsome,
but grave, while Marian was live
ly. He was like Marian in the
face, save his large, thoughtful
brown eyes, that at times, gave him
sad expression. He is now TWEEN
tv-three and Marian nineteen.
Elsie beautiful Elsie st. Berno, is
the same as Magdalene was at sew
enteen-fair, pretty, sweet, and
highly accomplished. Magdalene
dear patient Magdalene, is well re-
paid for the time she spent in
teaching Elsie.
There is to be a grand ball at the
mansion, given in honor of Marian
twentieth birth day; although Lore
LOntinee did not feel like having
the house filled with young one:
to so keenly remind him of the
days when Magdalene was there
yet he thought it was New Year;
eve, and the time for joyous cheer.
Everything was prepared a week
before, and the gloomy old mansion
looks quite new in expectance of the
many young voices that will raise
dead echoes in the long unoccupieG
rooms
Lord Lontinee, the dear old ia
ther, is sitting in his armchair be-
fore the blazing fire, dreaming-yes
dreaming, His thinking has wan
dered into dreaming, and he dreams
of Magdalene-pure, fair Magda
lene.
Just seventeen years ago tonight
when Magdalene was in the rooms
mingling with the gay company
And oh! how happy-until-ah
yes until he-her own father, had
banished her from her home; tells
her never again to enter his house
and she has never broken hel
promise.
