Excuse me. When l think-Or, when
come to speak of that mans gratitude
of the scene between us on that occasion,
1 can no more prevent the tears from coming
than I can stop breathing You must
imagine it for yourselves. That night the
young mamie was now in his twenty
second year-spent with me. On the fol-
lowing ng-Wednesday-I called
upon Mrs. WilmOt. leaving Harry with my
wife; and be sure she was not ashamed of
him. A finer-lOoking gentleman had never
entered my dwelling l called upon the
widow. and. after little time. introduced
the subject of her son. Mind you, l had
not yet breathed to her word of what
was doing. l intended to give her a Christ
mas present that should please her.
lat length ventured to say to her: Mrs.
Wilmot. the warden of the prison is a par
ticular friend of mine. Suppose 1 could
persuade him to allow Harry to come over
this very evening Christmas Day-and
spend all hour with you. He might come
with him. Would you like it?' She an
swered almost without hesitation: No! 1t
would be harder for me and harder for him
to part after it. The strain would be TOO
great. l would rather go over and see him
there She was right. l then asked her
if she would ride over with me that even
ing. She said yes with JOY. l told her l
would call at six o'clock precisely.
''At five OclOck-it was very dark by
that time-l rang her door bell; and as she
opened the door. l stepped into the hall,

selecting the words for my opening, when
the young fellow. utterly unable to bear it
any longer, flew past me. and caught his
mother in his arms. 1t did not kill her; it
did not harm her. 1t made her happy,
happy woman, with not words enough to
tell her joy and gratitude. The return they
made to me. when the story of the pardon
had been told, yon can imagine it much bet
ter than l can tell it. spent little time
with them, and then left them.
II kept my promise with respect to the
employment of Henry Wilmot. and he kept
his--kept it nobly, manfully; and to-day he
is at the head of one of the best and largest
and most fourishing business houses in the
country. He is the father. too, of six hand
some, healthy children. and the husband of
a wife who worships him. His mother
passed away only few years ago, at the
age of eighty-two, happy old lady; and
the last words on her dying lips were-sO
her son told me-calling on him. never to
forget the man to whom they owed all their
JOY. and asking that he might be told that
she had died blessing him."

the circumstances is considered derogatory
to his character, and is used as one of the
main points in the prosecution. This
should not be; according to law a man
should be proven guilty, not left the task
of proving his innocence. Some people may
think if man is innocent he can easily
prove it; but no. there are attorneys capa-

read of men on their death-bed cOnfessing
to crimes for which others are suffering in
prisonment and in many cases have paid
the death penalty. Query: How many
such cases are there of which we never

halls of justice equally as well as in prison.

Nh a. Nutshell.

Editor Mirror
There has been great deal of light talk
of late in the columns OF THE MIRROR in
regard to reform. Pleasantly is always
acceptable to the majority of readers. but
this matter requires deep and sincere
thought. and should be kept free from all
jest and sarcasm. do not mean by this
that it is necessary to lengthen your face or
appear more grave than usual, nOr is there
any necessity for an overflow of religious
ardOr. 1t is plain to every man here that
all honest and abstemious mode of living is
more conducive to happiness than that of
dishonesty and excuses in habits. If,
then, after bordering over these matters a
man is foolish enough to persist in his per-
nicious habits. he must be tit subject for a
lunatic asylum or desirable object for a
life tenure in a penal institution. Many
readers or THE MIRROR will think l am
rather severe in my manner OF dealing with
this question:; but the majority will con-
clude that this is about the best mode of
treatment. But there is about fifty per
cent. of the inmates here who will, practi-

mean that one half of the inmates are in
nocent. but do mean that the ends of JUS
tice would have been better satisfied had
they received sentence consistent with the
crime committed. l know of many cases
where men have received from one to five
years, which, under the circumstances. were
not nearly as ignoble as a common drunk;
still they must hereafter carry with them

John Hardness, Shcrbrook. P o., in the Amer.
lean Cultiyator
My business for about thirty years was
keeping "a livery stable. but | have now re-
tired from that and live ON farm, and l
think any man who prefers the livery bust
ness To farming must he wrong somewhere
IN the upper story. | have seen "a number
of methods described in your valuable
journal for preventing cows from kicking
when being MIXED. Some of these have
tried, but have not succeeded so well with
them as with a plan of my own, which is
as follows | take common iron ring,
about two inches in diameter and two
name straps, passing each of the latter
through the ring. | then buckle one of
these straps around each hind leg above
the gamhrel joint. When the COW finds il
impossible to kick, as she will in this rig
she soon becomes docile. This plan has
never failed with me.
My method of halter breaking colts is
different from that employed by most horse
men. When colts come To the stable in
the fall, after running at pasture all sum
ner, It is sometimes troublesome to halter
break them. In such cases | put the colt
into box stall, and taking what is called
a service ring make the latter fast in the
wall about as high as the breast of the colt
then insert another ring of the same de-
scriptipn about six feet back of the one
mentioned, and about as high as the breech-
ing Of the harness would come ON the ami
NAL. ! then take a rope about 10 feet in
length, and make one end fast in the first
mentioned ring. take the other end of
the rope in my left hand and drive the colt

Let the calf run with the COW until the
milk is fit to use. A newborn calf is weak
like IA baby; its stomach is not strong
enuu gh to digest a quart or two of milk
that is drank quickly or poured down its
throat only twice day. This is a cruel
practice. 1t needs to suck "a little at a time
and often besides, it learns to drink much
more easily after it has grown strong by
running with its mother three or four DAYS
And by all means use a calf-feeder try it
once, and your calves will do so much bet
ter that you will never wish to raise them
without one.
After it learns to suck the feeder, which
Will not he long, it can be taught to first
drink part of its mess and then suck the
rest, and so weaned from the feeder gradu-
ally, Finally, don't be so cruel as to feed
II calf only twice day for the first few
weeks. Who would think of feeding a baby
only twice in "A hours But a young calf
gets hungry just as often as "A baby does,
and, if you are kind hearted and wish the
calf to thrive, you will feed it at least three
times day till it grows older and stronger
In teaching calf to drink it is general
ly necessary to let it suck finger, holding
your hand and the calf's mouth in the milk
while doing so. Strange to say, there are
even now farmers who don't know this, but
will let the poor thing go hungry till it will
drink or has to be killed Farm and Home.
The above is evidently the product of
more than one intellect. Part of it bears
the marks of editorial originality, while the
other parts must have been found ready
made Every one skilled in the care of bo-
vine infants should know how easily calf
is taught TO drink that is taken from the
COW at once, or at least within "a hours. If
allowed to suck the COW for three or four
days, it is often difficult matter to teach
it to drink. Besides, by this time the COW
and her calf become so much attached to
each other that when they are separated
both are worried, the COW bawling, in an
swer TO her calf, for a week or more. Here
is where the cruelty comes in. In some
cases the worrying of the COW for her calf
affects the quantity and the quality of the
milk. The COW will make little or no trou-
BILE about it if the calf is taken away at
once

If every man should write letter to his
paper when he had some useful matter to
communication only then-the paper
would soon be greatly improved.
The manufacture of castor oil is one Of
the new industries of the South. A Florida
firm is preparing 800 acres to be planted in
castor beans, and next fall they propose to
build an oil mill.
a cleanly-kept COW, says a foreign ex.
change, will yield sweet milk with an agree
able, sweet odor, and quite free from any
faint or injurious quality whatever. That
such milk is very rare is simply because
such cows are rare, and this is the reason
why the very best purely favored butter is
rare too
Agricultural chemistry is good in its way
