The After-glow.

Albert Pugson Terhune in Harper's Bazar.
The mist has crept up from the fen
The cold gray mist that shrouds the earth:
Tho shadows deepen in the glen;
The day is done-the day of mirth.
The twilight falls, and faint and low
Is heard the night birds lonely song,
That sobs symphony of woe.
Sobs and bewails Tue night along.
Then as we sigh for vanished day,
And watch the darkness settle slow.
Through the dense shadows darts raw.
A fiush-it is the sfter-glow.
The gathering night rolls sullen back
AS the pale flashes come and 90,
AS follows close on evenings track
The glory Of the after-glow.
So, when the world seems dark and drear.
And fates no more their gifts bestow,
Perchance brighter day is near,
Perchance-wno knows?-the after-glowl

The negroes who started from Arkansas
for Africa in the hope of receiving free
transportation from New York, farm
and $50 in money on landing in Liberia,
and brought up on the front stoops of some
New York houses probably never heard Of
the 'fortysacres-a s-and-a>mule" promise made
by the radical oarpet-baggers who infested
the south during reconstruction days, or
they would not have been so easily gulled.
If they were familiar with that gigantic
piece of chicanery their action in this in-
stance proves them possessed of remarkably
thick hides and short memories.

something supernatural, railway trains and
the speed they now make are wonderful as

June number of The Review of Reviews is
entitled Our Indian Problem and How we

heart of the topic and explains just what
the new Indian policy means and how it is
being carried out. 1t is an optimistic arti.
Gle, and predicts the early transformation
Of the Indian population into creditable
element of American citizenship. 1t is
strikingly illustrated not only with portraits
of Senator Dawes, Gen. Morgan. the Com
missioner of Indian Affairs; Gen. Arm
strong. the head of the Hampton Institute;
Capt. Pratt, of the Carlisle Indian School;
Mr.. Herbert Welsh, the Indian reformer,
and Superintendent Meserve. of Haskell

and portraits of Indians, showing how life

be commended to all those who would like
to know the true outlines of the Indian
question up to date.

THE PRISON MIRROR is weekly paper pub

published in its columns is contributed by the
inmates, except that properly credited. Its sup.
port must come from the outside as every inmate

for the printing outfit, contributed $3.50 to the
library fund the first year. Its objects to en-
courage individual intellectual effort, provide a
healthy journal for the inmates of this and other
PRISONS and, above all. to acquaint the outside
world with the needs of the prison by rejecting
its inner life and thus aid the cause of moral ad.
vancement and prison reform.
