place. where there was now always FIRE
burning. and a mold for the little cakes
that she knew how 10 make so well. And
the CAPTAIN, smiling Of the child's requests.
but charmed with the homo-like atmos-
pierre of hrs room, promised to think Of it.
and on the morrow replaced his Londres
by cigars for sou each, hesitated 10 offer
five points at ecart6, aud refused his third
glass of beer or his second glass of Char
treuse.
Certainly the struggle was long; il was
cruel. Often when the hour came for the
glass that was denied. him by economy.
when thirst seized him by the throat, the
Captain was forced 10 make heroic effort
to withdraw his hand already reaching out
toward the swans beak of the cafe; many
times he wandered about, dreaming OF
| the king turned up and OF quint and
quatorze. But he almost always cour-
ageously returned home, and as he
loved Pierette more through every sacri-
fee that he made for her he embraced her
more fondly every day. For he did en-
brace her. She was no longer his servant.
When once she stood before him at the
table. calling him - Monsieur" and so re-
specuul in her bearing, he could not stand
IT.. but Selling her by her two hands he
said 10 her eagerly:
First embrace me and then sit down
and do me the pleasure of speaking famil-
iarly. confound IT,"
And so to-day it is accomplished. Meet
ing a child has saved that man from an
ignominious age.
He has substituted for his old vices a
young passion. He adores the little lame
girl who skIps around him in his room,
which Is comfortable and well furnished.
He has already taught Pierette to read,
and, moreover, recalling his caligrAphy as
a sergeant-major, he has set her copies in
writing. II is his greatest Joy when the
child. bending attentively over her paper.
and sometimes making blot. which she
quickly ticks up with her tongue, has sue
ceeded in copying all the letters of an In
terminable adverb in fnent. His uneas-
ness is III thinking that he is growing old
and has nothing TO leave his adopted child.
And so he becomes almost miser no
theories; he wishes to give up his to-
bacco. although Pireette herself fills aud
lights his pipe for him. He counts on saw
ing from his slender income enough to
purchase little stock of fancy goods.
Then when he Is dead she can live an OBJ
scure and tranquil life, hanging up some
where in the back room of the small shop
an old Cross of the Legion of Honor-her
sOuUenir Of the Captain.
Every day he goes TO walk with her on
the rampant. Sometimes they are passed
by folks who are strangers IN the village,
who look with compassionate surprise at
the old soldier, spared from the wars, and
the poor lame child. And he is moved
oh. so pleasantly, almost to tears-when
one of the passers-by whispers as they
pass: Poor father! Yet how pretty his
daughter is."

MR.. wILLIAMs's OBSERVATIONS.

The real warmth and feeling Of the pic
ture presented by Mr.. and Mrs. Sampson
cannot be better brought out than by
perusal of a brief extract from n cOmmu-
nlcation from Mr.. Williams after one of
his recent visits to the school. He SAYS:
"They have now eight boys in their
charge, ranging from ten TO sixteen years
of age. When these boys were received
most of them were very dirty. tull OF ver-
min, and wearing that Old jail scowl and
hunted look that criminals so soon ac-
ouire. The first step towards their inlta-
ton is always 10 clean them up. The hair
is cut close, their clothes are removed and
burnt, and their bodies thoroughly
secured. They are then clothed IN COM
plete plain new suit.
1t was my duty as secretary to receive
these boys when first committed 10 the
custody of the ASSOCIATION, and when saw
them few weeks after their arrival did
not recognize them. The scowl and dirt
were gone and they greeted mo with
pleasant smile and looked so bright and
rudy that | could never have known
them rs the little crowd and prematurely
old criminals that We had 50 recently re-
ceived.
while was there, n few days ago. the
dinner-hour arrived, and / was called to
see the way in which it was served. The
boys formed line IN the yard, standing
motionle,s until the door was opened and
the command given 20 march, when they
entered in very soldierly style, and. after
marching twice around etable, deposited
their hats on a stand and took their seats.
A large bowl of excellent SOUP was then
brought in, accompanied by a huge dish of
pork and beans. which completed the din
ner. At .ignal from the superintendent
every boy then bowed his head and audibly
and at some length offered thanks TO God
and asked His blessing.

Afforded for broodng over their confine-
ment, connecting plans for escape, or in

ton is often asked, How do you manage
TO keep them from running away 1t
cannot always be prevented, nor can IL al
ways be done by prison walls; but We find
that. knowing the eye of keeper is always
upon them, they are not likely 10 try to
escape At night man sleeps in the room
with them, and the door is securely fas-
tened"
Fellow-citizens we do not claim "a yet
TO have accomplished great things. Per-
haps we shall never assert such a claim !;
but we do feel some quiet assurance of
your verdict when we leave it to you to say
whether the first year of our existence and
tho first six months of our actual work
have proved failure or whether they give
reasonable assurance of moderate success
hereafter. BY your hberality our school

NECESSARY CHANGES.

Two changes are imperatiyely necessary
in the immediate future.
The first is 10 reRoUe b our permanent home.
We have but one acre Of ground where we
are now, below the city, in location very
inaccessible which we fear cannot be
healthy, aTording little opportunity Tor
giving the boys outdoor employment, and
the surroundings appear hopeless and de-
pressing. At Laurel all this will be
changed. The location is peculiarly scces-
sible both TO our board and to your kindly
visitation and inspection. Everything IN
this section If the country Is improving
and inspiriting. and the boys and the broad
acres Will mutually improve each other.
Next. we need change IN our LEGISLATION.
We want tine magistrates to have the right
and 20 be charged with the duty 20 commit
TO us boys and youths who NAV not have
committed any overt criminal act, but who
are without homes or ysgrant from or IN
corrigible at home. or subjected there 70
influences hopelessly bad. This legislation
we can readily procure next winter lnnot
a few cases fathers and mothers have beg
ged us TO take their boys. but we have not
felt our right clear to do so.
/ shall attempt this summer 10 visit the
best-informed men and the best-organized
institutions OF this class in this country,
in order that we may have the best hight
before us for the erection of our permanent
building; and, mean while, we hope TO put
upon our property and TO occupy tempo
rarily what will eventually be the out
buildings, indispensable 10 well-equipped
and successful reformatory.
The best. most Christian, and most hope
full way of dealing with the criminal classes
