time and again notice has been given inmates
that if they desired their papers sent to friends
they must place them in their doors Friday
evening, as we would not duplicate same, and
this has been done by only about twOthirds OF
those desiring papers mailed Last week Satur-
day we picked up SO copies of THE MIRROR and
over 80 of these from men who are constantly
claiming friends do not receive papers. The
reason is obvious; you don't care to have them,
by retaining them, tearing. and in many
cases sending them out so sOiled they are unfit
to send away. Those who desire this privilege

week as usual The editor will give instructions

A Word to Young Men.

First: Be honest. By which we don't simply |
mean not to steal That goes without saying. |
The Young man who before his beard is grown
thinks it clever to cheat his tailor, or to sneak
our of his little debts at college, has already
laid a sure foundation of illfortune. Nothing
is known so quickly or sticks to man SO long
as the reputation of dishonesty. 1t is the neck
of mildew which eats and grows blacker, ana
spreads from year to year. Boys are blnd 10
the Iengthening shadow which these faults OF
sharp-dealng and lying in their earliest years
throw down their whole future. In year or
two they will be asking for patronage from the
public or chance in the business world, and
they will find that in damaging their character
| tbey have already squandered their only capl-
tai No merchant would think of taking boy,
even as porter, into his employ who was not
known to be honest We take it for granted
our bows are honest in the cOarSer meaning OF
the term. But there is finer honesty tiidI
enters into a mans nature and Tits nm ABOVE
his fellows. He is no sneak or sham. either to
his companions his God, or even to himself.
He does not sham virtue which he has not;
he does not initiate any other mans character;
bnt he tries to go down to the bottom of his
own to clear it and lift 1t up.
AS the boy begins so the man will end. The
foreign tongues that he does not understand at
school will be weak in character all his lie;
the bow who cheats his teachers into thinking
him deyout at chapel will be the man who Will
make religion trade and bring Christianity
into contempt: and the boy who wins the high
est average by stealing his examination papers
will figure some day as a tricky politician
The lad who, whether rich or poor, dull OF
clever looks you straight in the eye and keeps
his answer inside of the truth, always counts
friends who will last all his life. and holds Z

Then get at the bottom of things. You SET

We heard pretty good story about Engineer

that the only other party in the case is out OF

We remember reading once, in an old school
book the story of French convict who was
released from prison after term so protracted
that its end found him in a new generation; the
change in things on the outside and his own
incompatibilty with his altered surroundings SO
disgusted him that he voluntarily returned and
ended his days in prison. That story to our un-
tutored mind was always little hard to assiml-
late, until an actual experience last Saturday
completely put an end TO all incredulty. An in
mate who has sOjOurned just nineteen years
within these walls was solicited by outside
friends to permit them to procure his absolute
pardon and release, with an assured certainty
that it could be encOmpassed; instead of hailing
with gratitude such overtures, the convict in
question politely, quietly, bnt at the same time
firmly declined. He asserted that he was as
we'll circumstanced here as he could desire;
much better than he thought he could be on the
outside, and the friends went away disappointed

the divine right of kings to rule was gone for-
ever. He ushered in the age of the people. He
woke Europe from its sumbers, and aroused
that energy and activity, that has made the ma
tiOns of today. He was the scourge OF good
Gods eternal decree for man is progress-ma-
terial, intellectual and spiritual. He had said TO
the people, "Go try and possess the land nave
prepared for you.'' But they answered, mo, is
not this a goodly land?" Then God sent TINS
man with sword and fire. He cut down thelI
armies, laid waste their fields, and burned thelI
cities with fire. Then, when all was ready, the
eternal sower went forth to sow the seeds OF
higher civilization.
