BE INDUSTRIOUS.

One of the evil influences that mprisOn-
ment has upon some men is the habit of
carelessness engendered by disinterested-
ness in the work they are given to do. 1t
is true that many of US had this failing be-
fore coming here, but this is place where
the evil is augmented. for there is nothing
visible to be gained by doing more work
than we are compelled to do. A short
time ago we noticed one of the men at the
excavation with a shOvelful of dit raised
up ready to throw it onto the car. but Just
then the noon whistle sounded, and instead
Of throwing the dirt onto the car he let it
fall to the ground. Now. it made little diff
ference to the state whether he threw the
dirt onto the car or not, but to himself it
made great deal of difference. By that
act he showed that he was working against
his will. He had formed habit of indif-
ference about how he did his work-he
lost energy. not only for the time he had to
remain in prison, but the same lack of en-
terprise will clog the way to success in all
he undertakes outside of prison. 1t a man
will not do any more than just what he is
compelled to do under the eye of prison
officer. he will not do any more than that
when free and working for himself. This
habit will grow into constitutional laziness,
and what more unhappy wretch encumbers
the earth than a lazy poor man. or rich
man either. for that matter. 1t makes no
difference what course you intend pursuing
when you 60 from here. if you hope to at
tain to any considerable degree of success,
you must cultivate habits of industry.
Even if you expect to steal for a living
which it is hoped none do-you must have
the spirit of industry. else you will have to
beg or 20 hungry many a day. The habit
of sl"thtulne>s does not only enervate the

it inactive and Incapable of keen enjoy

Logical Deductions.

Bulow. the murderer, of Little Falls, was
hung by the neck until dead. This man,
who, by reason of his environment and his
lineage, was made capable of murder, is
taken by society," his tutor, and killed for
doing what society has made him incapable
of not doing. He, the creation of society,
diseased mentally and nlorally-in this re-
spect sick to pitiable degree is taken by
this tutor, this parent, and ruthlessly killed
because. under the influence OF his paternal
malady, he robbed another of his life. What
illogical treatment, what inhumanity, what
brutality. Socety. being chargeable with
Bulow for that crime. should place him
where he would learn the lessons of a no
bier life. He should be held amenable to
the refOrmatOry laws before a human tri-
bunal. He should be punished by the law
of the land that witnessed his act. He said
he would rather die than have ten years
i'm Saltwater. and there is no doubt he spoke
the truth. 1t is no adequate punishment to
hang man. Hanging is not inflicted as
punishment. 1t is inflicted as vengeance
upon the criminal, and in the spirit of pro-
lection to society. Society has no right,
human or divine, to exercise vengeance.
and it has no right to take the life of one Of
it's members, especially if it has forced upon
that member All education whose logical re-
suits must be the violation of the law. HUI
man progress, as whole. is uniform. What
yesterday we greeted as justice, to-day we
suspect, and tomorrow we reject. So with
the brutal regime of the hangman-a bar
barism that projects itself like a poisonous
tongue-it will be left behind us. and the
stronger light of the ever coming tO-mOr-
rows will place in bold and bolder relief the
excrescences of all unfolding civilization, a
civilization whose goal is human brother
hood the world around. and all Infinite
Father over all. We shall yet hang only
our prejudices. Progressive Age.

The success of our paper is almost en-
tirely dependent on the appreciation it
meets with outside the prison walls; SO we
must strive to make paper that will sell.
But at the same time we must endeavor to
give truthful mirrorings of the thought of
the prison so far as we give it at all. 1t is
not policy for a person in prison or out, to
say exactly what he thinks on certain sub
jects, for evils are often augmented rather
than decreased by too much agitation. and
things may be had by patient waiting that
would be refused us if demanded as a right;
and commentator of a man may do him
injury instead of good. by arOusing his an
tagonists and enemies to renewed efforts.

Golden Thoughts.

No wrong will ever right itself.
n wise man will make more opportun-
tiles than he finds.
The ornaments of the home are the
friends who visit it.
Neither wealth nor power can confer
happiness.
When you are the anvil. bear: when you
are the hammer, strike.
Men are not depraved by true pleasures.
but by false ones.
The only way to please God is to follow
the good inclinatiOns of our nature.
Love without esteem cannot reach far,
nor rise very high: it is an angel with but
one wing.
NOman can avoid his own cOmpany--sO
he had better make it as good as possible.
Never borrow. The interest you have
to pay for the accommodation is excessive.
Happiness is something to hope for,
something to love, and something to work
for.
And he who does one fault at first
And lies to hide it, makes it two.
