EARLY MARRIAGE.

The Humanitarian says: The new
eStvOlume of the census report contains
many curious facts and figures, but
none afford more food for serious re-
Election or illustrate more fOrcibly the
crying need of marriage law reform,
than the statistics relating to early mar
riage. 1t appears that tWenty-eigh
thousand wives are only fifteen years
of age, and no fewer than one hundred
and sixty nine widows. These pain
fully early marriages seem all to take
place among the lower classes. In the
mining, factory, and agricultural dis
trictS. and in the poorer quarters of our
great towns. thousands of boys and
girls marry under eighteen. In the pro-
feSSiOnal and commercial classes
listers of religion only eXcepted-the
tendency is all the other way. With
them the age of marriage steadily rises.

THE PRISON MIRROR is a weekly pa

per published in the Minnesota State PrlSOn. It
was founded in 1887 by the cOnvicts and is edited
and managed by them. Its objects are: to be a
home newspaper to encourage moral and intel
lectual improvement among the prisoners; to
acquaint the public with the true status of the
prisoner; to disseminate pathological infOrma-
tion. and to aid in dispelling that prejudice
which has ever been the bar sinister to fallen
mans self-redemption. The paper is entirely
dependent on the public for its financial sup
port. If at any time there should accrue a sur
plus of funds the money would be expended in
the interests of the prison library.

Christian; he was, rather, believer in
the GOdhead of man; but, he had the
practical good sense to adopt nearly all
the ideas of the Master into his moral
| ity. Even the above quoted sound adj
vice is an, unconscious perhaps but
none the less real, adoption of Christ's
own methods of withdrawing himself
for thought, meditation and prayer to
gain strength for his warfare against
sin in general and the hypocrisy Of the
ScribeS and PhariSeeS in particular. We
here, are not retired from the world
from choice, we are not Trappist monks
in voluntary retreat, doing sorrowful
penance for our sins; we were sent here
to expiare an offense against society.
But, even as Samson found honey in
the skeleton of the lion he had slain
shortly before, let it be unto us that
''out of the strong came forth sweet
ness" Being retired here in this strong
hold let us extract meat from the Op-
portunity afforded to strictly examine
ourselves. Let us honestly look back
at our lives and marshal the facts for
undress parade; nay, let us strip them
of all gloss and glamor and look at them
as simple, unvarnished, more or less
dirty, miserable, unmanly, unworthy,
selfish deeds. No man can reform on
any other basis. No shattered, volley-
broken square could reform with the
dead and wounded in the ranks. While
the battle RACES, the wounded must be
thrust back and the dead trampled on
to meet the foe with a reSOlute front
SO with us; wounded pride and sensibil-
tiles must be thrust back; fallen habits,
dead issues and evil thoughts must be
trampled down. Manliness and honest
purpose must close up shoulder to
shoulder and undauntedly face the en-
emies that beset our path. Here we
can habituate ourselves to self control.
which of itself is habit backed by will
There are matters here to gall; it is well
there are, for most assuredly the re-
formed man will find them beyond the
gates. But the habit to be acquired
and strengthened here of throwing off
such, if honestly steadily cultivated,
will enable one to brush aside probable
sneers or slurs. No man can be man,
let alone Christian man. who can not
rise above such. AS man, call forth
your manhood and say, Il WILL" and
as lover of goodness add, "by Gods
help" Courage is an attribute not con-
fined to man, it is everywhere found, in
all warm blOoded animals at least. and
even the ants show it strongly. A cow
ard, then, must admit himself more
unworthy than the insects. Know your
self and conquer. Cast out the treach-
erous comrades that have betrayed you,
and bravely face the world-A Man.

THE EX-HANGMAN.n

Judge not that we be not judged"
said the Master, and of all papers who
should follow this precept closely. those
built on the reformatory plan ought to
be foremost. Yet, in commenting upon
President Cleveland's congratulatory
letter to the Pope on his Jubilee, The
Prison Tratsty published in the Lansing,
Kan, penitentiary, makes use of Ian
guage that would disgrace the vilest
convict within prison walls, as follows:

as Your Holiness Your Highness,
Your Majesty etc.
1t would have been bad enough thus
standing alone. But in it's issue of Oct.
II, Oatr Prison Missionary Light pub
lished at Newfane, VT, in a spirit of
the most inconsistent bigotry endorses
it with the following remarks:
From the above we see a great deal.
We see these United States, the cOnsti-
tuition of which guarantees religious
freedom, licking the boots of the most
blaSphemOuS being on earth. Our state

power which grants no freedom, moth
ing but bondage and death. Any man
who would write such a letter is not d
true American citizen.
Such a gross assault upon the Ma
TONS chief should alone damn both
papers in the minds of all right think
ing men. But such rank, narrow mind
ed bigotry in papers purpOrting to re-
form and elevate is to be condemned
with the same feeling of whitening
scorn that our Lord used against the
"Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites. =
What matter the trimming of creed
if the firm rock upon which it is built is
Christ's illimitable doctrine of love Of
God and love to fellow man? How can
the servants of God who are trying to
mould mems minds to the moral pattern
set by Christ be expected to conquer.
when the water of life they offer the
vanquished sinner is poisoned by such
doses of vitriol from their own ranks >
What thirsty soul will drink out of a
cup that is red-hot with political and
religious bigotry? Physicians heal
yourselves. Go vent your bile in
secret and purge your moral spleens of
their humOrs before you undertake the
work of reforming the intelligent Grim
