To MY Cell.
From the Prison Mirror.


II You could speak. o prison CELL
What wild. sad stories you could tell
or broken hearts and maddened brains
OF warted lives and quilts deep stains.
OF mlsdirected energies. OF talents tung away,
OF mental agonizing pains, of physical decay.
The youth who started in life's light
With courage high and yonnR hopes bright
His fathers hope. his mothers pride,
Perchance upon yon bed has died,
Disgraced degraded. In his prime.
Wrecked on the fatal rocks OF crime.
Maybe a murderer has lain
With bursting heart aud frenzted brain,
Aud seen upon your walls go white
His CORY victim through the night
Till with his deadly terrors yell
You'd ring and echo. dismal cell
You may have held q man whose name,
For honor once. had g0odly fame,
By all respected and loved well;
Yet In his gray old age he fell.
And perhaps at thoughts of happier years
The door was wet by his hot tears.
The thief's pale corpse, the murderer's yell
The old mans tears, . dreRry cell.
Seem lowering. floating. through thy gloom,
Like ghosts around some haunted tomb.

But the long. long play OF the winter day,
When piping winds DO blowl
No bird In hidden nest
To WOO to flight and song.
Or rock to sleep l. the breast

No music to teach tho wave-the wave,

II Autumn fails to reap
Bountiful wealth o. the seed.
And golden fleece OF the sheep;
Whether the stack be high-be high,

Between the acts, while the orchestra played

The fact that this young man desires an OK

one. II he cannot divine It. 1t Is because, even
whom sober-minded. he lacks in the sense Of
propriety. However, as he wants an explana-
ton, We will give him one. and he need not write
notes or send friends to ascertain its truth. =
The explanation is that the young woman

~lessness Of her girlhood she had passed over the
former reprehensible features OF his conduct.
But when. Misunderstanding that negligence on
her part, he strayed too pronouncedly from the
path OF a gentleman. her attention was excited
and her doubt aroused, and consequently. like
the good girl that she is. she told her mother;
and that lady. taking the true view OF the sit
uation, Justly broke Off all relations between
her daughter and our CORES pondent. His pun
ishment may seem harsh to him. but in fact it
amounts to condescension on tho part of
the young woman's family. compared to what 1t
might have been with general approval. 1t is not
forhim to seek explanations. 1t is a pity for him
that he did not possess the means Of determin-
ing the why and wherefore out OF his own head.
But since the situation has been explained to
him, the thing for him to do is to apologize and
to prove himself unqualifledly penitent and
anxious for forgiveness. Such an attitude can
always be expressed in one way or another so
that it will be understood and appreciated.
Not to be too hard on him. wo would say in
regard to the future that We trust he will be
forgiven eventually, and we should advise him
to persist until his present hopes, which his
emotions show have not been blasted utterly,
are fully realized. The young woman In the
affair may have been thoughtless, but there Is no
doubt that at heart she ia q charming girl. As
for her mother. she is beyond criticism. She is
indeed a wise and admirable woman, such a

mother-in-law; and to win an excellent
mother-in-law is worthy OF the highest ambi-
tion and most indomitable effort.
