That ever seems to say

Til love will righten every wrong
That wrings our hearts today.
And then again it seems to tell
That you are ever true,
And fondly on these words l dwell

OF mad'ning love for you.

That fears from heart to heart.
The tenderness we feel and crave
And faith to keep us true and brave,

To love and live for me alone,

that the County Commissioners have a

at Mr.. Roberts and his polygamous
ethics; but we find real, true logic in
the cult of Dowie. The former
breaches the multiplication of the hu-
man race as a divine calling and an
essential obligation, while the latter,
with his religious fanatics, finds hun
dreds of thousands ready to embrace
his murderous theories regarding the
soul; why? Because there is chance
to get rid of certain amount of social
encumbrance in the form of human
flesh, leaving his believers free to
satisfy their abominable cravings of
the soul. Can you conceive of soul
more nude, more void of all of it's true
functions, than the soul that finds de-
light in placing one of life's greatest
blessings into the hands of modern
Herod, away from loving hands and
kind physicians to minister to its pur-
posely starved and diseased body, to die
in agony and filth? Yea, kill kill the
foreign devils, but spare the souls of
Dowieism. From the timber-lands of
Indiana we hear of a religious zealot
holding at bay his friends and neigh
bors with loaded shotgun, who come
to minister to his sick and starving
wife and children, who are being
prayed to death by Dowieites; while
down in Kansas the human soul (?)
finds satisfaction in burning another
alive at the stake, and the whole state
applauds.
Within the shadow of St. Pauls,
New York City, vice and crime is ramp
ant. While the same congregation is
lending its voice in prayer for the de-
parted souls of the heathen in China,
thousands of live and depraved souls
were hawking their wares to as many
depraved purchasers not over two
blocks away.
While the great social review of
wealth, beauty and affluence-common-
!y known as the charity ballot Chi
cago was in the height of its hypocrit-
ical masquerade, exchanging virtue up
on the altar of lust and sensual en-
joyments, mother was found dead in
her dirty, cramped hovel, with sickly
three months old babe clasped in her
last embrace, the fruit of desperation
in an hour OF want and struggle to ex-
ist. Dance on, ye favored souls, twas
no illegitimate barter of yours, for your
way is the wise way of folly.
Under the guise of higher and nobler
thoughts, men have not hesitated to
prostitute the soul to gain for it a
moments lust; and worse, its craving
sense of depravity has often found
victim within his own home, showing
how nude mems souls can become
when the end is desired and accom-
plished The subject is too gruesome
to farther exhume, so while we stand
on the brink of the great divide, ask
ing reason, revelation and experience
to answer the supreme questions of
the souls Immortality, we believe that
we are in state of infancy concerning
things spiritual and that death is given
to meet the needs of progressive and
unfinished creation; that our souls
shall be uplifted by the glorious visions
of that ideal state when we shall be
allowed to join our loved ones in that
happy reunion under the providence
of just and merciful God. JULIUS.

Written for The Prison Mirror,
Leo, the Critic.

SOASoAAAAO
r. "Leo," has been posing as a
/ critic. When a man palms
himself off as great critic, it
is natural that people should criticise
him.
"Leo" has been telling us how the
Bible should be translated. He
crossed swords with ''Kismit" over the
meaning of words, and endeavored to
convince the latter that he knew
nothing about the Bible; that the
Greek equivalent for "whale' should
beItranslated "great fish,"
The men that translated the Bible
out of the original tongues, did their
work fairly well. "Leo" isn't compe-
tent to improve it any. My opinion is,
that Leo doesn't know Greek gram
mar from cord of wood. Far from
being a master of Latin and Greek,
he hasn't half conquered plain English.
In last weeks MIRROR, "Leo" has
written an article, in the rottenest Eng
lish criticising Julius" The title of
this article is, "T'he Source of Free
dom." If "Leo" meant that he took
all sorts of original and unlimited
freedom with the English Language,
his title is very apt.
The second paragraph of this aston
ishing article, in part, reads thus:
"The theory of "Julius" is that a man
going out of here or any penal institu-
tion, if he ever expects to regain lost
social position or to lead a peaceful
life, must devote himself to hustling for
the almighty dollar"
A noun clause used as attribute COM
plement is always set off with a COM
ma. There should be a comma after
u.s. in the first line of the quotation,
above.
The participial phrase "going out of
here or any penal institution" would
lead one to believe that this institution
is not penal. It should read, "going out
OF here or any other penal institution"
Take the subordinate clause, eff he
ever expects to regain lost social po-
sition or to lead peaceful life"
The construction here requires the
subjunctive mode. The verb erpects
should be changed to e1pect; or, better
still supply hope.
1 picked this verse out at random, to
criticise the grammar; the others are
equally as rotten.
A man is judged by the language he
uses more than anything else.
"Leo" says, "They all are looking for
the coin of the realm"
From this expression, CLEAN that
"Leo" is sOutherner. In the southern
part of this country, if you happen to
be walking down a lonely pike, and
you were to meet native, he would
probably greet you something like this:
Hello, there, pard; where are you all
going?"
Another remarkable statement that
Leo makes is, eff he has plenty of
money he can say the public be
DID, like Vanderbilt"
That is strange. | never knew that
Vanderbilt was id. | wonder how
the public would look if it were id
like him.
Now, feel no enmity towards "Leo."
Personally have a very good oppinion
of that young man. [ wrote this ar
tcle to show "Leo" how easy it is to
be a critic.
Disraei says, ''It is easier to be critic
al than to be correct" Any fool with
tongue can harass; any half i1literate
nersnn can he critic. but it takes a
wise man to be correct.

Nude Souls.

trated upon human beings by
patriotic band Of fanatics, has sent
thrill of horror and amazement
throughout the civilized world, with
the result, that the Christians cry of
revenge has been religiously carried
out according to precedent and relig-
ious tenets. The echoes of retaliation
that are now being waited from the
Orient, read like the stories and legends
of the Huns, Goths and Vandals of an
cient and medieval times. Instead of
bowling their heads with shame and
humiliation at these gruesome tales of
barbarity and brutality, the Chris
tian (?) zealot blends his voice in
prayer and melody toward the Holy
City.
1t is not the object of the writer to
lend color or bias to the Christians (?)
drama now being presented in China
for the edifcation of the morbid: on
the contrary, we shall endeavor to con-
fine our subject to its proper limita-
tions. We simply present the above
to better convey the underlying strata
of brute nature that is found in the
human soul and only awaits some
crucial period to arouse these brute
tendencies from their dormant state,
into one of fendsh monstrosities. The
term Christian therefore, is used in the
abstract and not in its literal sense.
We have been asked to contribute
something from our pen that would
be interesting to the inmates. Being
mindful, therefore, of the appreciative
nature of an unfortunate mankind,
we shall try and avoid personalities
You know tits common maxim that
crime has its parallel; that is, while
some crimes are liable to punishment,
there are still others justified and ex-
empt from punishment. Such para
doxical theory is too fragrant to need
comment from my pen; it is one of the
many subterfuges OF the human (?)
soul that permits the mind to condemn
and punish the acts of forced despera-
tion of another as being immoral and
depraved, while the same mind is free
to absorb with keen anticipation the
sensual delights that are his as soon as
devoted eyes are not haunting his path
as he sallies forth in the night to cater
to his abOminable lust. Let some poor
mortal commit foul crime, unusual
in its atrocious nature and Immediately
the cry is heard, kill! lynch! burn! the
brute! But, let some man or woman
haul forth the family skeleton with all
it's debased and morbid infamy, then
tis the human soul (?) finds its true
sphere and calling.
Tragedies more appalling for shame
and derravity in their natures, have
never been equaled as have the recitals
of marital infideIity in our courts of
justice (?). Call it degeneracy if you
will; but to me, 'tis but nude soul
that has thrown off its curtailed limita-
tions demanded by social obligations,
and now finds itself free to satisfy its
animalistic cravings.

as ours, there is no limit to soul's de-
