good prose or at least write grammati-

any man or woman mourns because he

mourning is utterly weak and vain
We must accept ourselves with the
limitations it has pleased God to place
around us. and make out of ourselves

him little will be required" but he who
has only one talent is not excused from
the full exercise ofthat one ability.

How do | feel? That is a question

have always prided myself on being
above the ordinary petty larceny thief,
but here comes the Associated Press
with the news of three successive prom

Good for Evil.

A prominent lawyer relates to CORE
spOndent of the New York Sun that
many years ago, while he was attorney
general of Missouri. he happened to be
in Governor Stewards Office when a
convict was brought in from the peni-
tentiary to receive pardon at the
governors hands. The convict was a
steamboat man. a large, powerful fel-
low, with the rough manners of his class.
The governor looked at the man, and
seemed strangely affected. ScrutiniZing
him long and closely. Then he signed
the document which restored him to
liberty: but before handing it to him, he
said:
You will commit some other crime,
| fear, and will soon be back III the pen
itentiary.
The man protested sOlemnly that such
a thing should never happen. The gov
ernOr looked doubtful and after a few
minutes said:
You will go back on the river and be
a mate again, suppose
The man said yes, that was his inten-
ton.
We'll want you to promise me one
thing. continued the governor Il
want you to pledge me your word that
when you area mate again you will
never take billet of wood and drive
poor sick boy out of his bunk to help
you load your boat on stormy night
The man answered that he never
would, and seemed surprised. and in
quired why the governor requested such
a pledge.
+" Because. answered Governor Stew
ard, some day that boy may become
governor and you may want him to
pardon you for some crime.
"One black, stormy night, many
years ago, you stopped your boat on the
Mississippi river to take on load of
wood. There was boy on board work
ing his passage from New Orleans to
st. Louis. but he was very sick of
fever, and was lying in his bunk. You
had men enough to do the work. but
you went to that boy with stick of
wood in your hand. drove him on
deck with blows and curses, and kept
him tOiling like a slave till the load
was completed.
Il was that boy Here is your par
don. Never again be guilty of so brutal
an act.
The prisoner took the pardon, cover
ed his face. and went out.

The Emigrant.

There has been considerable agitation
of late concerning the emigration queS
tiOn The subject has been exhausted
in all its details, and nearly all parties,
concerned in the debate, have generously
abused the emigrant, and strongly hint
ed in selfish manner that America
was for Americans Who are the
Americans that this America is for :?
Do they mean the aboriginal Indians
or the descendants of the AztecS What
is the motive that induces theorists to
advocate such selfish theory? Broad
ly speaking, there are no real Ameri-
cans in this country except the abOrigi-
mes. and how maligners can speak des-
pairingly of foreigners who seek home
in cOsmOpOpulated country, like the
United States, is beyond my power of
comprehension.
Everywhere and anywhere you go in
this big land of the free you will find
the emigrant living more honest life
than the majority of the ones who can
trace their nativity back century. In
the crowged city you will find the emf
grant diligently laboring among the
busy thrOng, you will find him follow
ing his plOw in fertile fields of the great
West. you will meet his honest face in
the village street, the pineries echo with
the sound of his ak, he delveS the mine
to earn an honest living; in fact. any

where where he can sell his labor for an
honest dollar, you will find the deSpiSed
emigrant pursuing his industrious call
ing, readily adopting the customs and
.pbeying the laws of the people he has
come to live amongst.
j 1t has been said that foreigners will
work for lower wages than the native
born mechanics. This is true in one
sense: but after the emigrant becomes
little acquainted with the language
and customs of the country, and learns
that he has been the dupe of scheming,
avaricious rascals, then there is no more
loyal supporter of high wages than the
despiSed foreigner. Nearly all the lead
ing lights of the different labor Organi-
cations are foreigners. Why all this
talk about foreign paupers being
dumped on our shores? Has not
man got an undeniable right to seek an
,honeSt living wherever the sun shines I?
Is any man pauper who has a willing
heart and good health and comes to
barter his labor for sustenance that he
might live honestly in this land of plen-
ty? | have read that foreigners could
not be depended upon in case of war.
Did any of them pack up. and go to
their native country during the REBEL
ion? History tells us that they were
in the foremost ranks, and proved by
the sacrifice of their blood their loyalty
to their adopted country.
Let us not build selfish fence around
this land of plenty. Let them come,
such as are worthy of being American
citizens. Keep those out who are un-
worthy. The United States is their
Mecca. the land of promise. towards
which they turn their yearning faces
in eager longing for that great blessing,

Memory and How to Train 1t.

The subject on which | wish to speak
20 YOU. was suggested to me by an az
1icle which appeared in TIE MIRROR,
headed Shorthand" For the past
TWO months have been engaged III the
:Mrsuit of this study. taking at least
TWO. sometimes three hours. every
night. to read and write and re-read the
signs and characters contained in the
Manual. in order to carry out my inten-
tion. l. e.. either to become an expert in
1he art or die in the attempt.
The result of my Conscientious APP
yslicatiOn to the task is. that | have al
most fully conquered the contents of
the Manual. the book for Self-instruc-
ZION of photography. When first be-
gan my studies. it seemed to me as if
could never be able to make the pot
hooks, as called them but the greatest
difficulty was to remember the strokes
or signs 50 as to be able to recall them
at will at any time | might choose
After week or so, however, | was sur
prised to find that my hand yielded
readily to the curves, circles, ETC.. and
moreover. that | could easily recall
everything had studied.
Now, we all know that there are
many systems to train the memory
some more elaborate than others: but
the best method ever knew or heard
of. is. without doubt, Prof. LOiSette's
nf New York. who applies a cipher to
every letter in the alphabet. and instead
of memOriZing the name. or whatever
IT may be, he memories the figures and
thus recalls anything he wishes. Let
me give you an instance. 4 wishes to
remember the name "GilrOy. which ne
does by memOriZing -, II. 1S. 15 25
that being the respective figures ap-
piled to the alphabet. Although this
seems to be an intricate system and al
most impossible to acquire, yet there
are men who by using it, have stored
away in their brains whole volumes of
matter and are able to recall them with
out difficulty at any moment. The
secret of memOriZing, however. lies not
in figures or in whatever other method
might be employed, but simply by keep
ing the mind in constant activity
There is no study, at least none
know of, that requires so much atten-
tion and constant application than that
OF pnOnOgfapny. Even Che expert
must keep at it" in order that he
might maintain his efficiency. Since
taking up the course of shorthand, my
memory has been considerably strength
ened, and the study has become a
source of enjoyment to me and the
means Of diverting my mind from
those burning thoughts and recOllec-
tlOns that will come to us in our lonely
cells.
We are apt to make resolutions with
out keeping them, as | know from ex-
perience. Within the last five or six
years | have expressed the desire more
than hundred times to acquire this
time and labor saving art, without exc
cutting it. Had done so, | might now
-be free and happy, instead of having
stamped upon my brow, when entering
society again, the word ex-cOnvict while
life may last. Boys, now is the time
