ENCOURAGEMENT.

The Review has several times taken plea sure in

word art. cularly when the facts under which it
is published are taken into consideration. It is
THE PRISON MIRROR, edited and published by
the inmates Of the saltwater (Minn) peniten-
tiary. THE MIRROR, which has just entered
upou its second year is very bright and interest
ing she ct, and comp most fave ably with many
newspapers published outside the walls whose
editors have worldwide field from which to
draw fer both patronage and news. A peculiar
interest attaches to this particular exchange in
the fact that its editor, Mr. w. F. Mirick, who was
sentenced nearly three ears ago for life upon a
charge of murder in the first degree, has been
pardoned. The trial Judge and prosecuting at
torney joined in the fra effort for his release
there being strong eXtenuating circumstances
VIII ich not brought to the knowledge of the
court at the time of the trial. THE MIRROR is
published weekly at 81 year 60 cents for six
months, So cents for three months. A copy is
furnished tree to each prisoner, and its support
must therefore come from the outside. Dur ng
its first year it aid all expenses and contributed
$3.50 from profits to the prison library. Its ex.
changes passed around among the inmates.

ing matter. THE MIRROR viii continue to be
published by the staff associates of the late edi-
tor. Its editor al columns are evoted largely to
the cause Of prison reform, and reveals wo der.
full degree Of intelligence upon a subject that is
more and more claiming the attention Of philan-
thropists and state authorities. All who feel in

of the practical workings of prison. If a plan
be devised which, wise and judcious in
itself, shall meet with the approval and co.opera.
ton of the inmates of the prison, the very fact
that their intelligence has been complimented and
their of honor appealed to, will cause very
large majority of the inmates to lend willing
hearts and ready hands to the successful solution
of this grave problem. The best plan that can be
suggested will be found to work satisfactorily
if the convicts cooperate with hearty good will
while without such good will it may prove an ut
ter failure only partial success. 1t will cost
the state nothing in this dill emma to treat the
victs like intelligent human beings, and their as
sistance may be worth many thousands of dollars

what Is Teaches tho fsraeitfe-Ths
Liturgy.

Israeps Day Of Atonement begins this
evening with sunset and ends tomorrow
evening with sunset.
Daring the whole day Saturday the
houses OF worship are open for prayer
and religious instruction. The day is
one OF deep seriousness, OF heartfelt con-
triton, OF repentance that srouses and
awakens conscience 10 a profound sense
of duty neglected, of right trampled
upon, OF wrong indulged in. Man,
through his liability to sin, defles tho
purity of his soul, and the Day OF Atone
ment has been appointed for the Israeli
ite that conscience, with its solemn warn
ings, may recall him 10 the path Of rccti-
tude. The Day OF Atonement teaches
tho ISraelite that conscience has an mex
tinguishablc life. ID may be druggcd,
corrupted, stupetied. stunned, buried
il cannot be destroyed, and n teaches
that God pleads with him. as with every
man, 10 heed the warnings Of his con-
science.
Atonement is fundamental teaching
OF Judaism ayen as IL is OF Christianity,
only il assumes another form.
The Day of At0nement speaks 10 the
Israelite in the strongest Of terms Of his
sin, but it does not speak OF IT rs indis-
solubly bound up with his soul II does
not speak OF it as entering into the very
essence OF human nature II speaks Of
il as a temporary stain and calls upon tho
Israelite in the most solemn manner 10
wash il away.
On the Day of Atonement the Israelite
is taught not only to pray for himself
and his Israelitish brethren, but also gor
his felow.man, he his creed what It may.
He is taught that every man. irrespective
OF his creed, il a beloved child Of God II
no strives to the best OF his ability and
knowledge TO lead a truthful and upright
life.
The most important prayer in tho
Liturgy for the Day Of Atouemen. IS the
following
"May love and reverence for Thee 10
entertained by all. May al men pros
trate themselves before Thee. May they
all unite TO perform Thy will with
an upright heart. May iniquity be dumb.
May all wickedness vanish ike smoke.
May the rule Of tyranny bo removed
from the earth.
The Day OF Atonemcnt embodies tho
idea OF the JOY in Heaven oyerthe return
OF the prodigal son.

TIE OPENING NIGHT.
Theatre and Academy Ring Up Their
Curtains for the Season.

The regular season of 1888 -'S9 at the
Academy WAS inaugurated last night
with the production of the realistic
drama 1.-THE Ruling Passion" 10y AOorn
Il Petries company, including. among
others, Miss Lottie Church, the we'll
known emotional actress.
The play is OF the sensational charac-
ter, and is effectively mounted, espe-
cially the fourth act, in which balloon
is seen to ascend, fall into the sea, and,
with its single occupant, the heroine,
drag upon the waters surface.
Lovers Of the melO O-drama and scenic
art could we'll spend'a an evening witness
ing this play.
The Academy was brilliant in its new
dress, and, with the improved arrange
ment of seats, and Professor Stems etii-
cient orchestra, should be strong can
didate for public favor.
The piece will be repeated tonight.
THE THEATRE.
At the Theatre the season was inaugu-
rated with Beacon Lights" which the
bills called ga romantic picturesque
play" and while the accuracy Of this de-
scription might be questioned the drama
WAS not lacking in exciting scenes and
climaxes which appealed strongly to and
elected screams Of applause from the
galleries. All the scenes were laid in
the wild West, and the wickedness of
the heavy villains was relieved by the
childish and at times pleasingly-fresh
dialogue of the pretty soubrettc, Miss
Oracle Emmett, who had the role of Car
RE Calhoun. a child of nature. The at
tack and tableau victory of the soldiers
in the fourth act was well set.
Quite large audience was present.
The piece will be presented again to-
niOht.
