Food For Reflection.

Editor Mirror:
Among us know we have many young
men who. in a moment of recklessness,
caused perhaps by dependency over dark
appearing future. have committed acts not
right and lawful, and who now, could they
but comprehend how utterly Improbable
such a life of wrOng-doing is. would VOW
never again to have anything to do with so
disgusting life.
Have you ever found that money obtained
in wrong way gives you the happy con-
seriousness of rightful ownership, as would
the wages obtained for honest work? Can
you now show anything and say: This is
what have out of the proceeds of my ill.,
spent life?"
If you have anything at all, it is the
knowledge of definite sentence to be
served in this prison. And taking for granted
that justice does not Overtake the wrong
dOer; his ill-gotten gains are soon spent. to
but little advantage to himself, and then
all that is left him land this will not leave
him) is heavy conscience. with a mind
continually haunted, until at last, unable to
stand the strain any longer, he gives HIM
self up to atone for his crime, and thereby
give rest and peace to his mind. Should he
not surrender himself voluntarily, he will
in that event continue to be harrasSed by his
own conscience until finally justice over
takes him. There is no happiness to be had
out of money not obtained in right way.
You need no lengthy argument to convince
you of that fact. And if you cannot even
make yourself happy, why take from others
<Nr,1Uy 4o rofSy, III
the loss of his money? He may be young
man from strange country seeking home
and with his hard-earned savings in his
pocket-he meets you and you take it from
him without giving one thought as to what
is to become of the poor fellow. Indirectly
you may be guilty of very grave crime.
for your victim in a fit of despair, seeing
himself without money and friends in a
strange land, may put an end to his life.
This is not overdrawn in the least, for such
cases have been know to occur. 1t makes
but little difference whether the victim be a
young man or an old one. rich or pOOr-the
event in either instance may prove the cause
of much misery, if not of crime itself, in
their after life.
l have been pretty well through the mill
and have experienced both sides of the Ques-
ton. We never know what value to place
on anything until we know all about it. and
as l have been given the opportunity here
in this place to reflect and think and COM
pare evil-doing to righteous living, by lay
ing aside all prejudice. l have found no
trouble to perceive what miserable eXis-
tence an adventurer'S life is.
Now, my young friends, when you go
forth from here. you will have clear con-
science. Keep it always; leave other peO-
pies goods alone, and build up happy
home. Then. in years to come, with per-
haps family by your side, you will look
back with thankful heart. and you will
bless the few years you have passed in this
prison. G. M. NJ.

TIE NOTIFYING EXPERIENCE OF TWO YOUNG NEW
HAVEN WOMEN.
Two well-known New Haven, Conn, young la
dies met with sad misadventure the other day.
Their horse ran away, and, although the AFFAIR
had no tragic sequel It was one that will not soon
be forgotten by eye-witnesses The two
young ladies' were spending the day at West
Haven, and wanted to 60 out for q drive
They went to the livery stable and hired turnout
common. everyday buggy was not good enough
for them, SO they got dogcart. Here was where
they made q sad error. The young ladies drove
down the street a short distance. when one OF
them wanted TO adjust her gown, and stood up In
the cart to DO II. AS there was but little
room TO spare, her companion stood up too STOP
ping the horse. Here was another fatal
weighs some 200 pounds, and the result was
that they both stood ON the same board and the
board broke. With crash that startled the
horse, the treacherous board gave way, letting the
ladies down until their feet nearly touched the
ground They were too much startled at nrst TO
realize their predicament, but soon found that
they we're wedged in SO tight that they could not
extr1cate themselves They tired TO stop the
horse, but to no purpose. They were unable to get
any purchase on the reins, and the more they yelled
them, and only put In the harder. The runaway was
seen by many West Haven people, who tried to
stop the horse, but their efforts only caused the
beast TO run the faster At last, after the animal
had carried bis passengers all OF two miles In this
predicament young man ran 70 the middle OF
the road and stopped the team. The young ladies
were not hurt by their miShap but they were
terribly mortified. The fact that the people they
met on the way nrSt stared at them with amaze
ment and then nearly went into a paroxysm OF
The next time they go riding they won't take
dogcart with weak bottom.

HOSmor and the COumtFym0ms
One OF the funniest races In which ever took

in July, 1881. Just to kill time attended picnic
on Lake Washegan, or some such name, and found
there q rowing match In progress The principal
contestants were two strapping young fellows
named O'T0ole and Leavftt and afterward
learned that It was customary for O'Toole TO take
the nrst prize and Leavttt the second. There was
no one at the gathering who knew me except
young man named Gleason, nom Boston. Iput
him on his guard ana then announced myself as
contestant Tor rowing honorS Osrooie looked at
me compassicnately and said, "In take the lead,
but won't 60 TOO far ahead. I'll stay near and

he would, OToole Immediately took the lead.
