TOMORROW.

'There is an island full of pleasant faces.
For which men hunger ere the day grows old,
And thitherward they turn with uplifted faces.
Longing to rest them in its blessed fold.
''No grief they say. may steal within its border.
Their hurt wounds heal them swiftly of their
smart;
While sweet forgetfulness doth stand as warder
To still the aching tumult Of the heart.
''There too. to-day's brief joys shall have great
increase,
And all its longings shall find blessed gain,
While to the toiler there shall come sweet sur
cease.
For, 10! This island knoweth naught of pain.'
Then one whose life felt the fevered throbbings
OF great wounds gotten in the days swift tide,
Turned and gave eager question: touched with
sobbings,
Unto the mighty chorus at his side.
.'Where is the land for which with strong persis.
tence
The men of every age and cline do long?
And swift in answer. full of sweet insistence,
Uprose the strident echo Of a song.
Behold. the island that is void of sorrow,
And for whose shelter men have long made
quest.
We have not seen, but it is called Tomorrow
The land within whose border there is rest.'

A Few Words Oh Prison Reform.


In choosing this subject am we'll aware
that it has been repeatedly treated in THE
MIRROR. and perhaps in more able man.
ner than can handle it. Nevertheless l
wish to express my opinion on this most
important question.
The majority of the public at large seems
to labor under the delusion that man be-
cause he has been two or more times behind
prison bars is irredeemably lost to society.
and consequently deem every effort for ref
ormation In their behalf wasted. A strik-
ing illustration that men who have lived in
vice and immortality score OF years or
more. may vet be redeemed and become re-
spected members of society. is given in the

in Brooklyn. Here is man who. through

York Prison Association. was brought back

him that Webster indorsed their own judg-

Experience in an English Prison.

Bidwell says:
Chatham prison illustrates an Infamous
phase in the English prison theory. 1t is

Sort Chatham is not a corrective institu-
ton. There is no attempt to better the
moral condition of the prisoners. 1t takes
the place of the Infamous chain gang of
years ago. The object in sending man
there is to kill him.
The exactiOns are such that no physical
constitution can stand the strain. The
prisoner is embruted by the frightful exac-
tiOns demanded of him by insufficient
clothes and food. 1t isn't the object to
have him die in the prison. Inside he is
worked just this side of the breaking limit.
He is discharged moral and physical

any comparison whatever with Chatham.

BERLIN, June 1l.-[Copyright, 1892
by the New York Associated Press.J
The meeting between the czar and
Emperor William was the leading topic
during the week. The comments Of the
newspapers here show that it is felt
that there is little reason for congratu-
lation over the result of the meeting,
which had too much the appearance of
the emperor running after the czar,
while the ostentatious Welt of the Grand
Duke Constantine to Nancy, at the ex-
press instruction of the czsr, dispels the
idea that political Importance can be at-
tached to the Kiel meeting.
The Cologne Gazette affirms that the
czar, while at Kiel, declared that he
would not support France If she raised
any question regarding Alsace- Lorraine.
The papers are still occupied in dis
GUESSING the prospects, of o reconciliation
between the emperor and Bismarck.
The report is circulated that Bismarck
will be made president of the state
council, but there is little likelihood
the chancellor would except such an un-
important position.
An extraordinary story was recently
circulated to the effect that the emperor,
while passing through Friedrichsrhue,
stopped the train and sent message to
Bismarck, requesting him to come to
the train. Prince Bismarck decided to
go, but was dissuaded by his wife and
Count Herbert Bismarck. Finally O
message was sent to the emperor with
the information that Bismarck was un-
able to comply with the request.

men sprang aboard and hastened to
Gibson's seat. There at the point
of revolver they compelled Gibson to
give up the two sacks containing the
coin. The men then jumped from the
