THE PRISON MIRROR is weekly paper pub
lished in the Minnesota state prison. All matter
published in its columns is contributed by the
inmates. except that properly credited. Its sup
port must come from the outside as every inmate
is given paper without cost. 1t is published in
the interest of the prison library nd after paying
for the printing outfit, contributed $3.50 to the
library fund the first year. Its objects are to en-
courage individual intellectual effort, provide a
healthy journal for the inmates of this and other
prisons and, above ALL to acquaint the outside
world with the needs of the prison by rejecting
its inner life and thus aid the cause of moral ad
vancement and prison reform

of Saltwater and elsewhere for coming in
to participate in our Christmas enjOyments;
we thank those of our fellow prisoners who
labOred to make the entertainments: we
thank the officers and guards for the deep
interest they took in making the day enjoy

OUR HOLIDAY.

A few minutes ago all was rOllickng.
bOisterOus fun within the walls of this the
Minnesota state prison: now. at p. M, all
is as quiet as a church at midnight. A hol
iday common to the whole Christian world,
has been celebrated to- day in this institu-
ton in manner SURPRISING in every way
anything ever witnessed here before Our
reporter gives elsewhere as perfect an &C
count of the days dOings as time and space
will permit. We wish the power were
given us to fully express the concurrent
sentiments of all the prisoners as they now
SIT quietly in their cells thinking over the
events of the day; but we will venture to
say that it is one of universal good feeling.

There is an element of some good in the

all men do not cultivate to an increased de-

An Humble Lesson.

A first class type of the American tramp
was shutting along on Third street yester-
day morning. He looked pale and enact
ated and the chill winds merrly whistled
through the air holes in his scant clothing.
One hand was thrust deep in his pocket,
while with the other, the fingers of which
were blue with cold and begrimed with the
DIRT of countless days, he griped the drum
stick of a turkey, the meat from which had
nearly all disappeared into his rapacOus
stomach.
A dirty atom of humanity watched him
greedily as he carried the bone to his mouth
and stripped it of its last morsel of flesh.
The wistful look on the urchin's face
caught the gaze of the relic of manhood and
he stood musing moment while tender
look came into his haggard eyes.
Hungry, sonny?" he asked, in a husky
voice.
''Betcher l am" answered the urchn.
My. but bet dat leg was good"
"'Ere's anOdder One." said the tramp.
drawing his concealed hand from his pocket
and displaying the mate to the vanished
leg. Yer can have dis. [ had bit of
sonny like yer myself in de days ago when
| wasn't like l am now"
The kid accepted the prOtfered mOrsel
and tackled it greedly. while tear trickled
down the face that watched him, leaving
pale streak in the dirt it washed in its
course.
Have chew?" asked the boy. proffer-
ing chunk of the weed in sympathy.
Don't mind if l do. sonny" was the
answer. and the two representatives of the
unwashed parted company. leaving behind
them lesson which no one but the reporter
noted Minneapolis Times.

Growing Old.

Yes, we are growing Old but what are
we hear for but to grow old? Years have
come and gone, centuries have come and
gone. millions of people have come and
gone, and still the world rolls on, and as it
goes all are growing older and some one
passing into the sere and yellow leaf, while
those who came here two hundred years
ago are gone forever. So it has been
in the past, so it will be i'm the future, so it
is now. The acorn drops; from it springs
an oak Shoot it grows upward into a strip
ling, it reaches forward into stalwart
tree, it withstands the storms of many win
tiers, when it begins to decay; it grows old.
and finally goes back to the earth from
which it came. Man is only the component
parts of the mineral, the animal and the
vegetable, and as nature decays and passes
away. so man decays and passes away.
The law is meXOrable-One must grow old.
But as we glide along down the hill of life,
we become. or we ought to become, more
mellow more charitable, more cOnslderate,
more thoughtful, more hopeful for some
thing beyond the grave than the life we
have lived here; and yet we are in no par
tcular hurry to get away even from this eX-
istence. so that if old Death would only
overlook us and let us hang on for some
two hundred years more, we would reciprO-
cate the favor at the first opportunity. 1t
would be awful mean to leave poor fell
low all alone during that time. but we
think we could stand it; at least we have no
objection to making the experiment. At any
rate we are all growing old. and we all
know it. and he is a philosopher who ac-
cepts the situation and steps boldly for
ward on the road to another life.-T. M.

st. Paul, Dec. 21. 1889.

There is no viler trick than to trade for
illicit gain on the charitable tendencies of
mankind. And yet there is no form of dis
honesty that tempts so many people who
ought, by social position and education, to
be above such temptation. And there is no
class of swinders who enjoy such immunity
from punishment. They are rarely prose-
cuted, and the punishment that is dealt out
to them when the law does take them in
hand is, as a rule, inadequate. There
seems to be notion abroad that money
which is given away is money that may
properly be wasted. A man who would
sternly prosecute the sneak thief who stole
an OvercOat from his front hall will learn
that he has wasted two or three hundred
dollars in utterly undeselved aims giving.
and will pocket the loss" without so much
as notifying the police or writing line to
the papers to put others on their guard
against the rogue who has victimized him.

SWIM OUT,

Merry Christmas is past and the begin
ming of new year is at hand-the time set
by thousands of persons for the abandon
ment OF bad habits and the commencement
of some good work for their own better
ment. The Christian world will be many
times better in general on New Years day
than at any subsequent period during the
ensuing twelve mOnthS-wiveS will be
happy to see their husbands leave off drink
ing; children will be better fed and clothed;
parents will rejoice to see their sons aban-
don evil habits and make earnest efforts to
accomplish some good purpose: the drunk
ard will ''brace up" and take renewed in
terest in his affairs and will walk and talk
with the determined air of one resolved to
do or die; the young man will feel happy in
contemplating the grand things he expects
to accomplish before the coming of the next
new year. But after the first day the good
will waver in their good resolutions and be-
fore the end of the twelfth month comes
round many of the drunkardS will have
returned to their cups and many Of the
young men to their evil ways. And so New
Years eve 1890, will find the world but lit
tie better than on New Years eve 1889.
Still. it it were not for these annual halts
of the grand army of humanity to rest and
clean up. we fear that old Sin and his evil
hosts would in time come off victorious in
the battle of life. But because we failed
to keep the resolutions we made for this
year is no reason why we should not make
new resolutions for next year. 1t is only
by manytmeS renewed resolutions that
our best and greatest men have gained their
emnence. If they had given up after re-
peated backslidings and allowed them
selves to drift along with Chance for a
steersman, they, like we, would be founder
ing about among the wreckage that is ever
floating downward to the Gulf of Despair.
We have drifted too far. but not so far but
that, by casting aside our encumbrances and
renewing our resolutions, we may yet swim
out. There are still many bright pebbles
Strewn along the shores of Time that we
may pick up if we will. So, comrades. let
us. on the first of next month. renew the
good resolutions of by-gone Happy New
Years

The Gas Well.

Some three weeks ago the McMinn-
Vile Natural Gas and Oil Co., closed
a contract with Messrs. G. f. Bracey
& Co., of Nashville, for boring one or
more gas wells at this place, Mr..
Bracey is expected to arrive today
All of the machinery and apparatus
for boring is now enroute to this place
and the work of boring will be COM
menced as soon as it can be erected.
The Gas Company purchased ten
acres of land this week from the
Thompson estate, located near the
factory of White & Mcclure, but it is
probable that the first we'll will be
bored on Houchin 4 Biles land, near
the old oil well.
McMinnville is going to have nat
ural gas for fuel in the next few
months, or spend several thousand
dollars finding out that we can't. All
the surface indications are quite fav-
orable, and a great many of our peo-
pie are sanguine of the success of the
venture.
