The prison mirror. [volume] (Stillwater, Minn.) 1887-1894, 1889-08-15

What! starting paper in prison?
Why. those convicts must be crazy!
For prisons we know contain but those
Who are thriftless. duh and lazy.
Just think of the rascals who rob us
Who care not whit for our Life
Sending forth from prison paper
To ease the worlds trouble and strife!
Thus quoted many an honest man
Who knew prisons only in name,
And thought that none entered their portals
But wretches devoid of all shame.
still, our paper goes out from prison
That people may hear and know
We're not all as bad as we're painted
Nor always humanity's foe.
Like bright light shining in darkness
This small papers refuiye gent glow
Breaks the chains o, crim e that oind us
As the suns warm rays melt the snow.
1t is not here but for days or weeks.
Its light is still brighter glowing,
We know full we'll it has come to stay
For its two years old and growing.
Though many predicted dire failure
For this waif in newspaperdom.
1t happily keeps growing stronger
Fresh names to its list daily come.
TO the patrons and friends who aided
To make its present good showing,
We return thanks this natal day
That IT'S two years old and growing.
