Sincerity.

l took up my pen the other evening with
the intention of Willing away few minutes
in the art of scribbling. and the first word l
thought of to write was this beautiful word
''sincerity."
How few of us within these gloomy walls
have ever cultivated spirit of sincerity.
Yet 1 firmly believe there are many of our
number who intend to be sincere men when
they leave this institution. This fact is
manifested to us in fOrcible manner by
perusal of some of the articles that we read
from time to time in our little paper. And
right here, l would like to say, is where
most of us are liable to err in judging of
the authors of these articles. At first
glance it may appear to us as II some OF
these writers try to show spirit of superb
Ority over some of us, by handing down, as
it were, bit of philosophical advice telling
us to do as they do. But if we give their
writings little consideration we find out
different. However, they may 60 out of this
prison and follow straight along the old
path that brought them here. and which
will as sure as fate land them in this or
some other similar institution sooner or
later. This act alone does not take away
the sincerity that prompted them to write
articles in which the life of a criminal was
shown to be life of misery, and void OF all
that goes to make life worth living.
If we go back over the file of The MIR
ROR and read some of these articles that
were written by the hands of men who have
returned to life of crime, we will find
sincerity in every sentence They were not
only exhOrting their fellows to fOrsake their
evil ways, but their very writings plainly
indicate that they were writing something
that they knew they needed themselves.
While there may be a few exceptions,
take it for granted that when one of our
number pens an article for publication, in
which we are urged to live the life of honest
men, he is endeavOring to strengthen his
own resolution to the same end, for sim
cere man writes advice for himself, as we'll
as others.
So, repeat. when we hear of such men
returning to lives of crime, we need not
doubt their sincerity in their writings; but
we do know they never cultivated sincerity
in practical manner. They used it good
deal like some of us use the little jackets
we have. only on Sunday and probably once
in while in the evening. 1t is necessary
for us to practice sincerity every day. among
our fellows. and in our every act, and when
the time comes for us to 60 forth from these
prison walls we may have spirit OF sin
certy that will carry us safely along the
path of life which leads to happiness and
prosperity. MIcAwBER.

THE JOY OF INCOMPLETENES

If all our life we're one broad glare
OF sunlight, clear unclouded,
If all our path were smooth and fair
By no deep gloom enshrOuded;
If all life's flowers were fully blown,
without the slow unfolding.
And happiness mayhap were thrown
On hands too weak for holding;
Then we should miss the twilight hours,
The intermingling sadness,
And pray perhaps for storms and showers
To break the constant gladness;
If none were sick, and none were sad.
What service could we render?
I think if we we're always glad,
We hardly could be tender;
Did our beloved never need
Our loving ministrati0ns,
Love would grow cold and miss indeed
Its finest consultations;
If sorrow never smote the heart,
And every wish we're granted,
Then faith would die and hope depart.
And life be disenchanted;
And if in heaven is nc more night,
In heaven no more sorrow,
Such unimagined pure delight,
Fresh grace from pain will borrow.
Selected.

Hereditary Crimfnality.

Much has been said and written on the
subject of heredity, as to physical traits,
mental peculiarities, and even intellectual
and offspring; and, as regards the physical
and mental functions, with considerable
amount of tangible, practical evidence. to
justify the arguments advanced. But the
laws which govern the intellectual and
moral forces tmore especially the last
named) cannot by any means be made to
assimilate with those which influence our
physical or mental caliber; for the reason
that though. at times, they may be sympa-
thetlcally affected by the physical or men,
tai condition, the mOtor-pOwer and the
method Of operation are so entirely distinct
and separate from the physical and mental
organisms that no comparison or assimila-
ton could reasonably be entertained for a
moment.
We know by unhappy experience that in
sanity can and has been transmitted from
parent to child for several generations. that
physical malformations. chronic diseases,
and mental peculiarities have distinguished
the members of certain families for one or
more centuries, with greater or less inten-
sity. until they have almost assumed the
Importance of brand or ''trade- mark" by
which the individuals could be easily dis

family. 1t is here that many of our most
earnest. sincere. and well-intentioned phi
lanthropsts, reformers and penOlogists have
fallen into grievOus and perniciOus error in
suppOsing that the moral forces were amen
able to the same law of heredity.
Now let us consider for a moment what
are the distinctive features of hereditary, as
compared with acquired taint or tendency.
A person afflicted with cerebral disturbance,
or having scrofulOus or other poison circu-
lating through his veins transmits to his
offspring and their descendants that same
poisonous or disturbing element. and though
