She thrusts it in her purse, and both

From Youth to Youth.

AS there are many young men here
who have slid and fallen into crime by
carelessness, probably, more than by will,
there will be for them much food for
thought in the following extract. The
letter was written by one young man
to another who had fallen by the way
side and has been gathered into the
criminal net and is now suffering for
his folly:
Your ambition may be the cause Of
your downfall; you may have an idea
that it is more elevating and honorable
to earn your living with your head than
with your hands. This is conclusion
you must have hastily arrived at; as,
had you given it the proper amount of
thought, you could not but have reached
the conclusion that we all cannot fol-
low the same occupation. Some must
labor in one way and others in another,
and we have been wisely fitted for our
different work; and it is not question
of the kind of labor we do which crowns
our endeavOrs with honor and glory,
but the way we do the work for which
we are the better adapted and which, if
we dIO WlSc. we Will 1OllOW. IuCIC al 2
no two ways about it; if we are consti-
tuted for one occupation we cannot
successfully follow another.
can speak to you, Charley, as no
other man can do, as l am in just the
same position as you yourself were, a
young and inexperienced man thrown
among, perhaps, more temptations than
yourself. | am constantly handling
money and consequently the oftener
tempted to retain what belongs to
others, but thank God l have so far
been able to resist these temptations;
and it is my most earnest hope that by
having done so have gained force of
character enough to resist the greater
ones in the future.
We have not only our own comfort
and liberty constantly before us as a
reward for doing right. but think of the
pleasure to those we love as they watch
us struggling with the world and see us
conquer all these little battles; but al
though, for the time, it seems as it we
could not but fall, in the end we gain
the victory and possess all the more
manhood and good qualities. for the
conflict.

THE BEGINNING.

Being but a man, we do not profess
to know how the world was created.
Scientists tell us that in the beginning
was space which became filled with gas.
This gas became overheated and ex-
ploded into myriads of parts, which
were sent spinning in every direction at
incredible speed. These parts became
the stars, the sun, the planetary system
and the earth. The wise men say that
many millions of years have been re-
quired for these changes. On their
testimony belief is forced that the man
who wrote the first account of the crea-
ton, as it now stands in the Bible, knew
something. There is nothing in mod
ern scientific works more clearly rec
orded than the Genesis. What they
require volumes to express is there set
down with the brevity of far-reaching
knowledge above trifiing detail. Scien-
fists talk of nature and cOsmic force,
the Bible tells of God. Both science
and scripture start from empty space,
dIlu NY GIlC SdllC UlSUlIlCU SIdSCO IllNC
space filled with surprising grandeur
and beautiful earth supporting all
kinds of animals whose climax is man.
Being here, we believe the creative pow
er, be it Nature or be it God, which we
humbly revere, breathed into man a
something that raised him above the
rank and file of animal life. With that
sublime fire glowing within him, how
can man confess himself brute to
perish? Must that reaching for some
thing greater, better than he is end in
clOd of earth? Nay! let him look
once more to science; and, in the COM
mon incandescent electric light, him
self behold A dull creature of mans
hand, it hangs in darkness, dark. One
touch of the controlling power; it is
alive. Break it! Does the illuming
spark perish with the material lamp ?
Oh, no, that is everlasting and flashes
back to the source of it's forthcoming.
Such is the soul. From God it came
and back to God shall it return from
everlasting to everlasting.

The undue and criminal haste of
courts dealing with poor, friendless
man, even when accused of murder, is
plainly shown by the case of William
Bell, lately sentenced at Memphis,
Tenn. After sentence he wrote to an
acquaintance at Birmingham, Ala,
who was able to prove that at the time

THE PRISON MIRROR is weekly pa

per published in the Minnesota State Prison. 1t
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-
ton, 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 sur
plus of funds the money would be expended in
the interests of the prison library.

and poor, for those of high and low de-
gree. Once man is in the hands of the
law, he should have no other stand than
that of a man, no more or no less. The
following extracts are given. "When
a hungry man steals loaf of bread, or
a ragged member of the great army of
the unemployed confscates pair of
shoes hanging temptingly within reach
at the door of a store, there is little
thought of his feelings or the feelings
of his family in the bosom of the officer
who takes him to Jail, or the court that
hears his case. He has committed theft
and society must be protected. Make
an example of him!' shouts society.
Make an example of him!' echoes the
machinery of the law-and he goes
through the mill with little ceremony
and less delay. He is not driven in a
carriage to his residence and permitted
to remain there under guard while his
friends ransack the town for bordsmen.
He is not treated like a distinguished
guest of the state and county aforesaid
and accorded the exceptional honor of
a body guard while he slumbers at home
His wife may be sick, his children
starving. A short respite may enable
him to make some disposition of his
dependent ones that may save them
from distress. Is any thought taken of
these matters when the ragged man is
placed under arrest for some petty mis-
demeanor? Alas, too rarely!
e.. There is a growing impression
that the courts are for the rich and
against the poor. This impression is
spread and encouraged by anarchistic
agitation. When they can cite the case
of a rich man, charged with wholesale
crime and permitted by the officers Of
the law to live at home in luxury, while
a poor man, arrested the same day and
against whom there is no stronger
proof, is thrown into jail and even de-
MED the privilege of looking for bail
under the escort of an officer-when
such cases as these can be cited how
can the disturbers be answered? If
the courts are brought into disrepute
in this regard, the courts and their Off
GERS are themselves to blame"
Such contrasts have overthrown many
monarchies, and republics must main
tain in deed that which they are in name
The bondage to wealth and class is at
least as CALLING as the material bondage
of slavery, if not more so, for it outrages
reason as we'll as person. Give the
masses an even-handed Justice and
they will abide their misfortunes with
patience if not with resignation. But
if they see her constantly handling the
rich with gloved and the poor with bare
hands, the poor-the many-will know
where the gloves come from.
