to relieving the afflicted and saving
them from worse than death, is no less q

became so great that tho steamer had no
'life," us sailors say; that is, sho was held
down instead Of riding tho waves; tho sea
broke over her in solid banks, and tho sudden
jerks of the raft made it impossible for ono
to keep his footing on tho vessel. Finally
the big fifteen inch awsc broke, and the next
lurch of the raft tore tho ten inch one from its
f~astenings and carried away some fifteen feet
of the bulwarks. This was on Sunday,
Dec. IL, and tho Miranda at once made
for Whitestone, L. l., leaving the raft
to the winds and waves. When tho
news reached tho Maritime Exchange there
was q general apprehension expressed for the
transatlantic vessels, in whose track the raft
will soon be; and a dispatch was sent ut once
to tho secretary of the navy requesting him
to send vessels to destroy it and warn incom-
ing vessels. The photographic office also
sent warnings to vessels. There is, of course,
but a chance of striking it; but a much greater
chance than of colliding with another vessel,
as tho raft can be seen but q short distance
on the water and has neither lights nor sig
mails. A man of war has been detailed to look
for the lost raft.

Deputy Westby was conspicuous by his absence
from the prison last Friday and Saturday. but the
winds whispered not in the reportorial ear with
er he had waited or on what mission he was bent
until Sunday morning a message reached us over
the electric wire in front of cell (the incan-
descent attached to said wire being guaranteed to
light CO four cells) announcing that the deputy
had arrived safely from Chicago, and was accom-
panied by Oscar ]. Carlin, who deserted this host

with Frank P. Landers. Just how Deputy Westby

in which Carln and Landers made their escape is
fresh in the minds of all readers of THE MIR
ROR. and it is only necessary to state that they
made their egress by prying apart the bars of the
window in the barber shop. to which Carin car
ried the key. After scaling the prison wall, the
two deserters made their way to the bridge and
crossed into Wisconsin,; thence to Eau Claire by
night marches. where Landers broke into a store
and borrowed" a couple of suits of clothes;
thence, via the bumpers of "side door, Pullmans
to Chicago. where after few days rest they
parted company, Carlin going to work at his trade
of barber, and Landers taking his departure for
Europe. being now in London as Carln says
story, and though it has the appearance of truth
there is possibility that he has kept something
back.

SUNDAY Services.

After singing by the prison choir and prayer by
the chaplain, Dr. Satterlee. of Athens. Tenn, was
introduced by Rev. Albert with the announce
ment that he would deliver the morning sermon.
The sermon from Luke XIV, being an ap-
plicaton of the three parallels therein contained.
The inquiry, why the people who listened to the
teaching of Jesus were from the lower walks of
fe, was the first thing considered by the speaker.
Then followed analysis of society and the meth
DDS of Christ's teaching, showing the wonderful
effect produced by doctrine SO different from
that taught by the Scribes and Pharisees. On
this branch of the subject he said: "There was
something in the words and looks of Jesus that
drew them to Him. They felt that the great heart
of love in His bosom pitied them. They did not
Him drawing the robes of Righteousness about Him.
He told them Except your righteousness exceed
the Righteousness of the Scribes and Pharisees,
you can in no wise enter into the kingdom of
heaven They felt that He was their friend, and
could help them bear their burdens of sorrow.'
Then followed the reading of the parallels and the
application of them to the principles taught by
Jesus. The parable of the prodigal son earn
estly applied to the audience with visible effect.
Such an assemblage of prodgals is found nowhere
outside of Institution of this kind, and doubt

called special attention to the fact that the para

to the back boor and clean himself up and the

At the close of the sermon the chaplain offered
prayer and after singing by the audience we were
dismissed.

Like leaves on trees the convcts life is found,
Now thriving above, now whitening on the ground;
Great numbers in fall and winter are discharged,
These are succeeded-and prisons are enlarged.

They pass out in season, or remain and die;
Thus wretched convicts in their time decay
So suffer these when those have passed away.
