A CHRISTMAS IN PRISON.

In its broad white shroud lay the dead old earth,
And the bells chimed loud, chlmed low;
They sang, "Tis the day of the Holy Birth
In their swinging to and fro.
AS the last sweet note of their silver tongues
Had died into silent prayer,
A changing OF heavy prison gates
Smote harsh on the frosty air.
And through the grim portals there passed to
save,
With mission of peace and love,
band who had knelt on the prison pave
AS the felons frowned above.
There were faces blanched with white despair,
Betraying all hope had fed;
There were eyes that had looked with a cruel
glare
On q victim stricken dead.
Low brows, where the murderer's brand was set
All marked by the hand OF time,
And the trembling, close-cropped, snowy head,
Bowed dowL by the years OF crime,
That spoke OF harvest reaped as sown,
In the long, dark, sin-iraught years,
And of those who had watched their garnering
Through storm OF heart-wrung tears.
There were youthful faces with eyes OF blue
Who were still to childhood near,
Who had once heart both warm and true,
Who were touched by pleading tear,
And the smile that parted their boyish lips
Brought visions of childhood sweet.
OF the tender clasping OF finger tips
AS they prayed at their mothers feet.
And they listened atremble, as softly fell
The words of the sisters prayer.
And their voices rose for they knew fnll well
Each line OF that chanted air.
That gentle prayer to the great AIl-friend
Was needed, and from each face
The frown had faded, the brows unbend,
OF the sheer there is left no trace.
For they heard no word of their damning sin,
No hint of their prison dress.
No stern decree, "If Heaven they'd win.
Their guilt they must confess.
No talk Of a fiery punishment
Recounting their past misdeeds,
No mention OF those who to sinners were sent
With their formal, man made cTeeds
And they only heard of the tender child
Who lay in the manger bed,
While the stars of an Eastern heaven smiled
In beauty above his head,
Who with soul divine in the mortal frame
Descending to earth that morn
Left still, in our keeping, His sacred name
To teach OF the heavenly dawn.
That pence might reign over all the earth,
That the only bonds be love;
The love Of n Christ-bought brotherhood
Linked close to the Heart above.
Then for moment all sin seemed swept
By hand divine away
And the hardened sinners sighed, or wept:
Some kneeling as if to pray.
Then down there camo from the frowning height
OF the gloomy prison wall
A dove, with its wings OF snowy white
And futtered over all,
And they gaze, with awe on each upturned face
As the prayer and chanting cease
And they whisper low, We have seen at last
The blessed spirit Peace.
