To My Mother.

The following lines, written by a convict in the Ohio penitentiary, are touchingly beauti- full. The man who can write such poetry, who has such thoughts, cannot be utterly deprav- ed. The curse Of intemperance, with its at tending downward influence, has here done it's work, and a spirit noble and generous, that might and should be the pride and ornament of the social circle, is now the degraded con- vict in the walls of 8 penitentiary. How will the fond mothers heart bleed ii she shall hear of her darling boy the inmate of prison in a foreign land: rN.r'- I've wandered far from thee, Mother,
 Far from my happy home;
 Eve left the land that gave me birth,
 In other climes to roam;
 And Time, since then, has rolled its years And marked them on my brow; Yet have often thought of thee
 Pm thinking of thee now. Pm thinking of the day, Mother, When, at my tender side, &f@ You watched the dawning Of my youth
 And kissed me in your pride. .-s5.. Then brightly was my heart lit up
 With hopes of future joy,
 While your bright fancy honors wove
 To deck your darling boy.
 Pm thinking of the day, Mother,
 When, with anxious care, You lifted up your heart to Heaven
 Your hope, your trust, was there; Fond memory brings your parting word, While tears rolled down your cheek; Thy long last loving look told more
 Than ever words could speak. I'm far away from thee, Mother,
 No friend is near me now
 To soothe me with tender word,
 Or cool my burning brow;
 The dearest ties affection wove
 Are all now torn from me; They lett me when the trouble came They did not love like thee. I'm lonely and forsalxen now,
 Unpitied and unblest; Yet would not have thee know
 How sorely Pm disfress'd; t2FT1 know you would not chide, Mother, You would not give me blame; But soothe me with your tender words And bid me hope again.
 would not have thee know, Mother, How brighter hopes decay; The tempter with his baneful cup
 Has dashed them all away; And shame has left it's venom sting To rack with anguish wild,- Yet still would not have thee know The sorrow of thy child.

If I were fair,

If I were fair, Oh! just little fair, with some soft touch About my face to glorify it much! If no one summed my presence or my kiss, My heart would almost break beneath its
 bliss. Iris said each pilgrim shall attain his goal. And perfect light shall flood each blinded soul, When days flush merges into sunsets bars, And night is here. And then beyond the stars
 shall be fair.-TE Edith Rutter.
