The prison mirror. [volume] (Stillwater, Minn.) 1887-1894, 1890-12-04

When we are inclined to scout the idea
that bad habits may be broken, we will do
we'll to consider how all habits are formed.
The threads of all habitudes are twisted
singly. When once we are bound in meshes
from which we really wish to escape, we
must have tho patience to unwind each
thread just as it was wound about us. If
we began by yielding now and then to an
apparently harmless foible. so now we must
begin again by refusing to indulge in any
thing that offers lurking place to folly.
Every effort we make in the right direction
makes the next step easier. John Boyle
O'Rielly used to cite the construction of the
Niagara suspension bridge in this cOnnec-
tiOn: :.
First across the gulf we cast
Kite-borne threads, till lines are passed.
And habit builds the bridge at last"

1t is not without a feeling of pain con-
sequent upon my nationality that take
upon myself the privilege afforded me
through the columns of THE MIRROR of
briefly submitting an humble opinion upon
the saddenipg spectacle presented to our
view between the great leader of the irish
parliamentary party-Parnell-an his for
mer friends. but now would be guardians
the Liberal party of England. Looking
back just few short years ago, from the
beginning of the present Irish agitation. on
that memorable May-day in 1879. when the
One-armed felon of Observation-Disclosures
Davitt-within sight of his roofless home on
the hiIlsides of IrishtOwn flung to the breeze
the banner of the Land of Ireland for the
people of Ireland" down to this hour, one
man has stood ON the bridge of that gallant
ship that carries the colors of the Irish ma
tiOn, one brain has read the compass and
guided the helm. one mighty arm has turned
the wheel and sent her over the troubled wa
ters of public opinion and as she now rests at
anchor awaiting the tide to float her unto
the harbor of victory. the winds of liberty
as they play around her flag of green sing
joyfully the name of Charles Stuart Par
nell. Sarsfield fought to protect her,
Wolfe Tone struggled to set her free, the
dogs of Thomas street in Dublin Tapped
the hot blood Of the martyred Emmet-the
young life freely offered upon her affairs
the thunders of O'Connell rang out over
her green hills and verdant valleys to eman-
.cipate her. Allen. Larkin, and O'Brien the
martyred ones of Manchester prayed as they
died for her; O'Rielly. Mitchell. Martin.
Smith. Burke and a thousand others suf-
fered for her-all honor to them indivld
ually and collectively their names be
.engraven with points of steel upon every
Irishman's heart-but when the historian
of the nations present and future sits to
pencil her struggles and her victories. he
will record in letters of gold that the bril-
liant statemanship. the powerful mind, the
.uncOmprOmising devotion, the earnest zeal
and the hidden sacrifices of Charles Stuart
Parnell for the past ten years have accom-
plished more for Ireland than the united eff
forts and sacrifices of her past great and
glorious sons. At the conception Of the
Land League eleven years ago the Liberal
party of England was in power and the
brutal efforts they made to put it down are
still fresh and green in the hearts of all.

WHAT is A GENTLEMAN?

What is a gentleman Is it thing
Decked with a scarfpin. a chain and a ring,
Dressed in a suit Of immaculate style,
Sporting an eye-glass, lisp and smile
Talking OF races and concerts and balls,
Evening assemblies and afternoon calls,
Summing himself at "at homes and bazaars,
Whistling mazurkas and smoking cigars?
What is gentleman? Say, is it one
Boosting of conquests and deeds he has done2
One who unbIushingly glories to speak
Things which should call up flush to his cheek
One who, while railing at actions unjust,
Robs some young heart of its pureness and trust
Scorns to steal money. or jewels. or orwealth,
Thinks it no wrong to take honor by stealth?
What is gentleman? Is it not one
Knowing instinctively what he should shun,
Speaking word that could inure or pain,
Spreading no scandal and deep'ning stain?
One who knows how to put each at his ease,
Striving successfully always to please
One who can tell by glance at your cheek
When to be silent and when he should speak?
What is gentleman? Is it not one
Honestly eating the bread he has won,
Working in uprightness. fearing his God,
Leaving no stain on the path he has trod
Caring not whether his coat may be old;
Przing sincerity far above gold?
&. Reckng not whether his hand may be hard
Streatching it boldly to grasp its reward?
What is a gentleman? Say. is it birth
Makes a man noble adds to his worth?
Is there family tree to be had
Shady enough to conceal what is bad?
Seek out the man who has God for his guide.
Nothing to tremble at. nothing to hide.
Be he a noble or be he in trade.
He is q gentleman Nature has made

Five Gents.
Regret or Joy.

Regret or Joy.
The golden sentence OF recent address
delivered by DR.. Vincent in this city was
his appeal to never give up the wayward
boy, but by gentleness and prayerfulness
gain and retain his confidence and hold an
influence over him.
If this injunction could sink into the
hearts and minds of those who have chill
dren to train, the community would sOOn
see the work wrought by enlightened self
understanding. and the influence of good
home surroundings and moral power.
Not long ago man of most eminent p0-
sitOn. of absolute personal purity in his
contact with public and professional affairs,
was asked by friend what subject then
most occupied his thought and attention?
His reply was. in an emotional voice, IL
am trying to regain the confidence of my
children. which is all but lost to me by
permitting other affairs to absorb my atten-
tion to their neglect"
There is in this confession the suggestion
of startling thought. and who knows how
extensively the same might be truly said by
parents whose course in life has been 50
careless that their children have drfted
away from them forever, with their hearts
and minds sealed against them, never to be
regained.
There is nothing so painful as to witness
an aimless life, and yet because of the con-
ditiOns and demands of society and of bus
mess how many boys are seen coming for
ward to take some place in the world, un-
guided, unrestrained. drifting with the cur
rent, becoming more helpless and less use
full as they pass along.
In recent address an inspiring clergy
man said: II congratulate the young man
who thinks his best capital is his mothers
grave. He has not forgotten her influence.
There are poorer things on earth than
motherless boys. There are no flowers like
those that grow out of a mothers grave.
Look back, young man, and let your i'm
pulse spring out of that grave. Sad is the
young man who thinks more of the little
roll of money he brought with him to the
city than he does of his faith in God. The
best capital a young man can bring to the
city is not money. but a trust and faith in
God and. the right which nevers fails or
falters. Such young man brings to his
EMPLOYER a conscience. heart and
BRAIN"
This theme is fruitful of suggestion. but
it hardly requires ampifying. Let the par
ent make self-examinaton and be resolute
in pursuing that course which will be most
helpful in the formative period of young
character. No diversion should be allowed
tointerrupt this duty.
What the satisfaction and the reward of
this more than golden life may be will be
written in hearts with overwhelming JOY.
The contrary must be productive OF regret
and sorrow untOld.-St. Paul Daily News.

Attractive Things in Household Linen and

Hemstitched bed linen is much affected at
present, with large initial letters embroidered
in one corner. This Is newer than the large
monoGrainS.
The newest color introduced into towel bor-
ders is q genuine canary yellow.
Some of the new o'clock tea cloths are
like large pocket handkcrchiets with deep
henstitched borders; others have designs
worked in the corners in raised white or col
ored threat in very bold style. The cloth
itself is of tho finest Irish linen.
4 very handsome table center is made of
breadth of white India silk nearly as long as
the table, powdered with buttercups, with
short stems and no leaves, worked with yel-
low silk in close Kensington stitch. An inch
wide hem, with q row of double hemstitch-
ing and an edge of fine Oluny lace, makes the
border.
Now that silver ornaments are SO popular
white crepe cloth printed with silver designs
represents tasteful material for drapery,
which, it must be admitted, does not long re-
tain its good looks.
Plain chenille curtains, with deep dados Of
Turkey coloring, look wonderfully we'll and
are especially suited for large rooms. though
