The Saltwater Messenger has the following
story:
"A fellow named Patten once appliedto Warden
Wolfer at the prison for something to eat and
also asked for a pair of shoes He said that he
had been al inmate of the institution two diff
ferent terms which statement was shown to be
true and. that he had also served various terms
ia other prisons; in fact that fully two thirds of
his fifty years of life had been spent behind stone
walls. He was furnished the dinner and the
shoes that he desired and departed quite happy.
saying that he was going over into Winconsin to
try another term at the Waupun prison. A let
ter was received from him few days ago in
which he says that he is now an inmate Of the
alms-house at Milwaukee. and as he is comfort
ably cared for, he proposes to remain there the
rest of his lfe.''
Now if the above is true it is too bad there is
not some law whereby such fellows could be
placed in trap and drowned. or put on a raft
and dropped in mid ocean. They are an ex
cresence that are no good to themselves or the
world,

the reverend speaker drew from the above was
that man was careless. and unwilling to suffer a
little for Chrsts sake. who has suffered so much
for man. ST. Paul tells in the lesson read how
he suffered: what he had borne for Christ's sake
and how cheerfully he had borne it. to spread

then. We are sowing the seed by planting Gods
word. Some of it falls by the roadside; some
has good fruit. but the devil comes in and de-
strOyS it. Some also falls upon the rock, but
dies for want of moisture. We mean we'll, but in
the hour of temptation we fall. Many of you
will leave here with good resolutions; you mean
to lead honest. upright lives but you should see
that these resolutions do not fall upon the rock
but strengthen yourselves with Gods grace sc

same to heart, and you will receive grace one hun

resolutions or principles become chOked. or you
are lost. You should be generous toward God
offer up part of your lives to His glory and honor
and you will be strengthened and fortified in the
battle of life. There are times when we thinl
we are beyond saving; this is not true. TIT
Saviour came to save all. No matter how Ion.
we have been away from Him; how long thu
chains of habit and sin have been around our feet
and souls; no matter what difficulties we meet
if we depend upon God. if we ask Him for assist
ance saved. He will grant it. No matte
how weak we are, we can overcome sin through
Gods grace. We should therefore resolve t.

grace and loving care we are safe.

We have been asked by some of the inmates
IF it would not be a good idea to reserve a little
space in THE MIRROR for the answering of
questions which may be of interest to the
prisoners. Let us say, that all columns of THE
MIRROR devoted to reading matter, belong to-
the prisoners, and no question that does not
conflict with the rules of the prison, and that
are respectful and have sense in them will be
refused space We would also state that we do
receive many questions to be answered. that are
unfit for publication. Nonsensical and childish,
We cannot devote time or space to them. Let all
legitimate questions, come, boys! answer them
who can.

Ladies, Take Warming.

The ladies should bear in mind
that next year will be the last
leap year Of this century and take
Time or some other fellow by the
forelock, for the next will not oc-
cur until 1904. The year 1900
will not be leap year. The un-
usual occurrence is due to the fact
that the addition Of one day
to each fourth year more than
makes up the presumed deficiency
in the calender year, and con-
sequently the world is con-
stantly losing time, as a watch
loses it, and therefore there was
danger that in a few thousand
years the Fourth of July would
come on Christmas.

BUILDING DAMAGED
BY Part of Its Foundation Slip
ping Into the River.

The handsome new building of
Messrs. Nicol Brothers, on south
St. Clair street. was greatly dam
aged on Monday by a part of the
foundation giving way, and it was
feared for a time that the entire
back wall would fall. The lot
upon which the house is built is
largely made earth, but believing
the retaining wall on the river bank
was secure enough to hold the
pressure against it, the foundation
wall was run out to, within a few
feet of it and the house erected.
Monday morning it was noticed
that the heavy rain Of Sunday
afternoon had affected the founda-
ton, as the southeast corner
began to sink, the ground around
it to settle and crack to open in
the brick wall under a window in
the storefoom Of Mr.. c. S. Bell,
extending clear down through
the foundation as far back as the
corner of the Todd building ad-
joining. The crack gradually
opened all day until about 4
o'clock in the afternoon, when the
retaining wall on the river bank
gave way and slid into the river,
carrying with it about ten feet each
way of the foundation wall at the
southeast corner of the building,
the brick wall as high up as the
window sill in Bells establishment
and about half of the back yard,
damaging the premises to the
amount of about eight hundred or
a thousand dollars. Mr.. R. c.
Nicol at once made a contract for
clearing away the debris and the
building of a stone wall from a
solid rock foundation on the river
bank, which will not only serve as
a retaining wall for the rear Of his
lot but solid foundation for the
building, and the work is being
pushed along as rapidly as posi-
bic.

Home Again From a Foreign
Shore.

Rev. George Darsie returned
last evening from his trip to the
Holy Land, after an absence Of
five months, much to the delight
OF his family, congregation and
friends. His weekly letters to the
Christian Guide, giving an account
of his travels. have been very
interesting, and already there is a
call for their republication in book
form. Mr.. Darsie returned in good
health, though rather thin in
flesh, and it is unnecessary to say
that he will be greeted by a
large congregation tomorrow
morning.
