remainder were divided into four sections
| tor the second, third and fourth and inter-
mediate readers. An Italian, who knew
nothing but evil and crime, and could on
ly speak his native language but not read
| it. read and spoke English fiuently, with
only slight accent. Paul Bishof. Ger
man, has made even greater improvement.
and his penmanshipi is something remarka-
| BILE. Not more than three or four OF the
entire class knew their letters year ago.
| 1t requires considerable courage to attempt
to make anything out of such material and
patience enough to serely try SAINT TO
coach such pupils up to his standard.
| There is veritaole prodigy in that
class. From boy, Michael Conner trav-
eled with q circus, and was one OF the
toughest of the tough. He is 40 years
old and when he entered Sing Sing few
months ago he could neither read nor
write. Conner of course, never heard OF
Seneca, but he has exempliied the phil
osopher's doctrine in one of his epistles.
This man, who had lived nearly half CEN
tury in ignorance, reads remarkably well.
| In the book of every scholar is a
penmanship copy, and they practice this
with pencil and slate in their cells, and
DTlD0 lNGlT WOTh lulO tuC Slhoo AOi Auo PSS-
ton. Beside this, there are blackboard
exercises in both penmanship and arlth-
metic. 1t speaks well tor the discipline
of the prison that the management dare
trust 80 of their worst criminals in a
remote part of the prison for an hour and
half. A guard is always near and
watching over them, and the approaches
to the chapel closely guarded. but.
nevertheless, it would be regarded as a
dangerous experiment for SO many men
to meet together night after night. Still,
no harm has ever come of it.
A system which contributes to the moral
and intellectual elevation of dangerous
class OF people, and creates in them a
certain amount of self reliance that they
can go out into the world and make a
living honestly, deserves some sort Of
recognition from this state. At other
prisons where evening schools have been
established, outside teachers have been
employed and other expenses incurred.
The total cost to the state at Sing Sing,
however, has only been $40 or $25 tor
books and states. Nothing has been
paid for teachers, and, in tact, the one
outlay mentioned is all that the state has
done thus far for this worthy educational
system. Warden Brush asked the last
Legislature for small appropriation to
erect a new building so that he might
have schoolroom. One is sadly needed,
for the chapel is not adapted tor their
purpose. The cost OF such building
would be trifling. as most of the work
could be done by the convicts. Mr..
Brush has by no means become discour-
aged, and next year will 90 to Albany
again, and it is to be hoped that his efforts
will then meet with better success.

Since she went home
7 he evening shadows finger longer here,
The winter days fill so much OF the year.
And even summer winds are chill and drear,
Since she went home.
Since she went home
The robin note has touched minor strain,
The old glad songs breathe but a -ad refrain,
nd laughter sobs with hidden, bitter pain,
Since she went home.
Since she went home
How still the empty rooms her presence blessed:
Untouched the pillow that her dear head pressed,
My lonely heart hath nowhere tor its rest,
Since she went home.
Since she went home
The long, long days have crept away like years,
The sungh has been dimmed with doubts and fears
A nd dark nights have rained in lonely tears
since she went home.

OVERwORKED.

From out the rosy land Of dreams
She comes at early morning;
The dew upon the meadow CLEANS,
Fair az brides adorning.
Aroma from the waving pines,
And fields of blooming clever;
The noisy brook that sings and shines,
With willows bending over
The eastern sky is all shame.
As though, to one beholding,
The gold and sapphire clouds that came
Were heavens gates unfolding.
But all this glory stands apart.
Nor charms her with its beauty,
For care sta heavy on her heart,
Where falls the line of duty.
The cows await the milking time
With soft and patient lowing;
The sturdy farmer. in his prime,
Must hasten to his moving.
His wife must speed the morn's repast,
And work with nimble fingers,
For farmers all, from first TO last,
Make hay while sunshine fingers.
And when the meal is DER, the pals
OF foaming milk are waiting,
With fragrance caught from sunny wales,
To future joys relating
The cream lies thick. like cloth Of gold,
here shining pans are Drumming
Their riches gathered fold on told,
All ready for the skimming.
Then, later, az in olden days.
With much of stir and futter,
BY weary hands the dasher plays,
And wins the golden butter.
And 40 the day goes on, and on
No time for rest or pleasure;
"a woman's work is never DONE"
Is true in fullest measure.
And as the sun sinks in the west,
And day grows into even,
Weary and worn she goes to rest,
Ano almost longs for heaven.

tax payers which the internal Reye-
nue. system permits. The tax on tobacco
is, in the first place, collected from the
producer by the manufacturer, and IS again
collected from the consumer by the same
enterprising individual, consequently no
one need be surprised that the manufac-
turers are opposed TO the repeal OF the tax
II is dire instrument that cuts both ways,
and always TO the advantage of the man
ufacturer. Tobacco IS an agricultural
product that is az important TO the farmers
of Kentucky, North Carolina and north
Georgia rs the cotton crop is to other
farmers, and the tax is an injustice that
reaches the point of oppression. As to the
''free whisky" cry, we have only to say
that it frightens nobody. The tax Is not
in the interest of temperance. Instead oil
decreasing production it increases 1t, for the
margin Of ninety cents gallon which rep
resents the tax is the only incentive to
Illicit distilling which the mOOnshiners
have. Take away that margin and the
whisky ring would have less competition
than il now has. The internal revenue
taxes are not only unnecessary drains on
the people, but the system itself involves
governmental supervision of private bust
ness. II breeds spies, invites oppression,
leads TO bloOdshed and murder, and has
been the cause of scandal and corruption
ever since the war"
We know that many set their faces
against this like flint and say that 1t
means free whiskey and tobacco. But
this need not be true by any means, as
each State county or city can place
As much or twice rs much
tax on them As the Govern
ment now places, and can thereby greatly
reduceItaxation on personal property and
real estate. The question of reducing the
tariff need not then for some time trouble
our statesmen. All that need be done to
the tariff for the present is to equalize it
by lowering it on some articles and raising
il on Others, such rs wool, salt and etc.

THE LAST MAN.
Not the One Who Will Hear Gabriers
Trump, but the Unlucky Wight Who
Ends u Long Procession.

Ends Long Procession.
TJrns SlRiRgs.
There is one individual that we have al
WAYS felt great sympathy for, and that is
the last man in the procession. He doesn't
want TO be the last man, OF course, but I'M
placable fate puts him there and there he
seems to stay. There's no way of getting
out of it,
Did YOU ever wait long enough to see
the last man in great street parade? OF
course there must be last man In pro-
cesSion "a there is q head man TO lead 1t.
He is that thrice unfortunate individual
who closes up the rear. He grows tired OF
waiting long before the procession gets
under way, and has half a mind TO break
ranks and 20 home The crowds press on
him and little boys ieer him. Then, ~
the long procession moves down the street,
he is conscious all the time that everybody
will be weary OF the show by the time he
comes along labOriously bringing up the
rear, and no matter how well he may
march no one is going IN pay any attention
to him. His only utility seems to be TO
keep the express wagons from crowdlng on
To the fellows proceeding him.
The rear at "a big procession always Strag-
gles more or less, and it becomes necessary
for those composing it Ia break into aSharp
run frequently in order to avoid getting
left altogether Then il is that the last
man has a distressing time of it. Dogs
chase him and bark ut his heels. He Is
cut of by a wagon ut a cross street, which
whips in and prevents his Joining the main
body, and ii he isn't nimble enough TO
iumb over the wagon he is liable to get
mixed up with all sorts of vehicles and
cursed by drivers Individually and cOllec-
lively. Sometimes he is compelled 10
make long detOur of side and parallel
streets in order to each up with the pro-
cession again.
The populace are not fayOrably disposed
Ia the last man, somehow. There is dis
position to boot at him, and mischievous
fellows have been known to throw obstacles
in his way to trip him up. We have seen
him trip on "A hoop, stumble over 4 wheel
barrow, roll over barrel and he knocked
down by an express wagon going half a
block. You can't help admiring the per
sistency of the man and his evident deter
mination to bring up the rear at whatever
personal sacrifice. Ii is u thankleSs opera
ton, though.
