The pen seems very wesry to
night. There is a blurr on the
letters traced on the paper before
us as tbe pain points, cluster, dart,
and hover before the eves, i It is
almost midnight., Not a soul in all
this house awake but the writer of
this. Sleeping, resting:, perhaps
dreaming of loved ones, or miles
awav in spirit continuing witb si
lent visitors. If we could only
sleep! : But not now. Our work
is not done: Good frienr's every
where tell us tbey miss tins, our
familiar heart talk with them. so wc j
write and work .. and . work and
work and write.
We said they were sleeping. So
they are. ? Before us is a sofa.
When this chapter is finished, the'
pen wiped aad put away; tae ink
Stand covered and - poshed back,
the desk pot in order, we ean rest
on that sofa, and sleep. Perhaps
our good angels, will visit ns then..
They bend over us and smile, we
can almost feel them put back the
hair from aa aching brow. Then
they take ns with them, np and
away; far, far away ' from hero .
And they tell us of tbe future life',
ot the lives of others. How they
whisper great thoughts and beau
tiful ideas to' earnest workers
sweet hope to weary watchers
golden promises to those whose
hearts are true, and a heaven for
all. -
We shall be gla d to sleep! It is
hard work to work hard to suc
ceed. But the reward does so en
courage the . heart and beautify
thought. It is glorious to work
to study, to write. If we can only
make one boy, or girl, or man, or
woman, or home happier then we
by this chapter shall have planted
one little seed to blossoms here
to give fruit on the journey Over
1 here.
Perhaps we can help aa enemy
by words writen to-night. Then
we shall be happy. Uf course we
have enemies, those who speak ill
of us, who by cruel words drive
us to be very.very far from good.
Sometimes it is very hard to be
good, when those . who do not
know yon, are . trying to break
down and crush out the good as
pirations all have.. None of us can
be perfect. If we were, this were
heaven, and mankind but sepa
rated Deity. We think of our
friends and go on, no matter what
men may say or think. God knows
snd we konw that we are satisfied
with our work, our task, our heart
contentment
It is not what others think of as
that brings happiness or misery,. It
is what we are. The s pencil of oth
ers may be our reputation. .The
work we do,the life within us.is our
character. If we lire for the epeacli
of changing tongues wc live hat
sorry lives! If we live to a pur
pose, noble within us born, we are .
happy, and shall reach tbe told en
shores with an individually, to
our credit Over There.
So we work in hope to do good;
to make somebody better and
happier. To surround ourselves
and whoever we may love, : and
who loves ns, with comforts,, for
trne Christianity bids us to make
all of heaven we can while on
earth. It ia not necessary that we
should have a stated bonr to pray,
for there is no sleep with those be
yond this life who bear us at all
times! ' ' v'"'

God, where none but loved ones
will be with us, working in nar
mony to and for a purpose great,
grand, beautiful, and for tbe Eter
nal. J . ' ' " "-
As men give ns words, so do
good angels give as ideas at times..
They come with messages from
beyond the curtianed philosophy
of those who are afraid to look to
the great light in tbe East. They
come with words of cheer, of en
couragement, of truth, ot wisdom
and . continual revealment from
worlds we shall visit, to work in
after our work be finished here. ; .
And they tell as each day more
and more that the Eternal there is
and ever shall be, work for all of
ns. That none of ns will stop, ot
be destroyed, or kept trom reaca
ing the highest position a pro
gressive mind can reach. They
tell as thst death is beautiful, as it

from the street to the parlor from
darkness to light. They tell us
that then we shall bave power to
go in thought, as oar paper goes

heart to heart or mind to mind,
whispering ideas, truths, : hints

pier and men better; telling and

whisper grand ideas to invention,

great thoughts to preachers of re

whisper these truths again and
again, till tbey are believed even
by those who were brought up in

We left England day before yesterday,
and contrary to ordinary experience had'
a smooth and pleasant passage across the
channel, being two hours in crossing
from Folkeftoito to Boulogne.' The rail
way ride from the latter city to thU 158
miles occupied near fire hours, through
an o interesting country, mostly level
and having much sameness ia the suenety '
Here we are amongst a people of atrange
language, and everything looks quite
different from England or America. We
have to day been looking about this largo
and beautiful city, and thia evening I tit
down to close my report oa' English
prisons. 4 - i; ..; , ' ..... ;'
; THE CITY MBOS HOLLO WAT, lONDOlT.
This is what is known as a "House
of Correction," or prison for - those who
have not more than two years to serve.
It also has connected with it Heaters
arson-" Through the kindness of John
Weatherhead. tne Governor or Warden
as we snouid style him-, having pre
viously obtained an order from the
"Home Office' which is repaired ioe ve
ry instancei n this country before visi
tors are admitted to the prisons we were
shown through the prison in all its parts
and the working of the institution fully
explained to us. Tbe Governor has
been lourtesn years at the bead of this
prison, waa four previously at Newgate,
and also had twentytwo years service
in tbe army.-tie retains many of the
habits learned in the army; but is a
gentleman of great benevolence, united
to firmness anu decision, thorough
knowledge of human character, and pos
sessing to an eminent degree the power
of g Terninent I bave rarely met with
one who is a more efficient prison officer,
or one wno seems to com prebend more
ruiiy tne principles which underlie the
questions ol crime and punishment. Tbe
building is of stone, cost about. 120,000
SbUUiUUU ana is very perfect in us con
struction, and kept so neat and clean as
to prevent any unpleasant odor. It has
two large boilers which, warm the
building and cook the food." ' When we
visited the prison there wore confined in
it 267 prisoners, of whom 3o were wo
men and 35 debtors more than 1.000
debtors pass through the prison in a year
many or these being for failures to pay
fines, etc. In all 2.290 piisoners have
passed through this . prison during the
past year. Trere are three acres of
ground attached to the prison, and en
closed by walls, which is so; carefully
cultivated as to produce vegetables
enough for the prison, and also afford
ground for the making 0f brick. The
prisoners are classified. . All boys under
16 years are Bent to reformatories. The
"habitual criminals,'' or persons who
have before been in prison, are placed in
a wing to themselves, and are not per
mitted even to see the other prisoners,
and thus to form acquaintance, which
may be renawed after their dischsrgs.
Thev are also divided into classes one,
those who are in for abort sentences,
and the other for long sentences, some
sentences being for three days only. The
younger and less criminal prisoners are
also selected and placed - in one wing,
and tne older and more hardened in ano
ther. This is one of the most valua
ble features ot the prison. The labor
in prison is by law divided into "bawl
and light." The -hard labor- in this
prison, instead of being in unprofitable
and degrading employments, is mostly
directed in a useful channel, so as to
be productive. A part of the convicts,
however, as a punishment for disobe
dience and infraction of the rules, are
put upon the tread-wheel and pump
the water for the institution. The pe
cuniary results in this prison are better
than in any other which we have vis.
itedin England. Through the excel
lent management of the Governor it U
made nearly to pay expenses .

This prison is under the management
of Thomas U. Colville a governor of many
years experience. It is for the county
of M:ddlesex, which includes a part of
London; and last year thirteen thousand
prisoners passed through it. Many of
these were forvery (short sentences, and
one-third of them were recommittals,
not a few being of that miserable class
who float between the prison and , the
streets. When we visited the prison
there were 1.569 prisoners, and 150 offi

uemucnuio oupreirrawy,
In hi? speech in the Senate on
Amnesty Governor Morton thai 1 de
picted the consequences of Demo
cratic supremacy: r '
I am hoping that the Democrat
ic party will not come into power
during this generation. ' I believe
it would be the greatest national
calamity that could happen. I be
lieve that the best interest of this
nation and of civilization. upon this
continent are involved in the con
tinued supremacy of the Republi
can party, at least for a number of
years. Bat,"' sir, .' great calamities
have happened; great plsgucs have
come upon tbe -world; earthquakes
have rent and swallowed np cities;
Chicago has been burned, and if is
among r tbe possibilities that the
Democratic party may come into
power, v,.-.. . . , . .
But on that point the Democrat
ic party does not acknowledge the
validity of the fourteenth amend
ment. There was an attempt made
in the north last summer, what wss
called the 'new departure' Mr.
Vallandlgham. now dead and gone,
attempted to. bring his party in the
North up to the acknowledgement
of the validity or the lourteenta
and fifteenth ; amendments and of
the validity of reconstruction. ' He
passed away and with him passed
away tbe 'new departure,' and the
movement that he inaugurated fell
dead and was buried with him., m
the same grave.: Sir, if the Demo
cratic party came ' into power, the
fourteenth and fifteenth amend
ments would be ignored; they
would be treated a3 dead letters, s
having no vitality; and that is. ane
of our great national dangers. '
1 did not intend to advert to
that matter in this speech, but the
Senator has brought me to it and
will do so. The bulk or the Dem
oc ratio party is ia the South; the
greaj, body of it is in the south. If
it shall come into power, it will be
by carrying all of the southern
States with a few of the northern
States. The body of the party will
be in the South, and the southern
wing of tbe party will control it in
its action as it did before the war;
and as tbe South are almost unan
amously hostile to the amendments
and to re-construction; tbey would
control the party, and those amend
meats would be treated as a dead
letter. "'!'
Now, Mr. President, let me ad
vert to a few of the consequences
that would result to the nation
from the success "of the Democratic
rartv. As I said before, the body
of Ithe party is in the . South; the
feebleness and minority is in the
North, snd the Sooth would con
trol it. Let as suppose that thero
is a maiority of Democratic Kepre
sentatives in the other House, ond
the question comes np of making
an appropriation to, pension the
widows and orphans of loyal sol
diers in the North, would the
souther Democracy in the House
vote money to pension the soldiers
in the North, their widows and
orphans, while their own widows
and orphans, their cripples, are
left nnproveded for? Mark you.
now they are in power; they have
the power to vote money or to re
fuse to vote - money; and I submit
the question to a reasoning, and
intelligent country, whether when
they are pieced in power tuey wu
voluntarily vote money to pension
the sold'ers who fought them and
who conauerc i them, while their
own crinules, tluir widows and
orphans are left unprovided for?
I tell you they never will; I tel
vou. sir. that if that party comes
into posVcr one of tiie first meas
urea will be to either put the rebel
soldiers upon an equality with the
soldiers of the Republic, or to vote
no pensions at all . . Can any Intel
of principle end s-poettrtty. . Let
nav have a little head lay public
eentinent. Let n1 barer eome
thing this nation can live by . Let
as teach a lesson in history that
we are witling oar Children shall
be governed . by . Let ns not say
to future generations that those
who sought ' to destroy the best
..- 1 t ' ..! aK
Government in the world, who
eonght to build si new government
whose foundation stone should , be
human slavery srno were guilty of;
in humanity, and who practiced a
barbarism that belonged to times '

future generations that these men;

then return and beg the indignant

right until they reached the depot,
when a suggeation having been

overtake them, the '' bridegroom
became nervous and wanted to go
home. But his lady reassured
him: '-I really don't see how he
can; I really don't,' quote she.'

doors, and threw the keys ; away .

Henry Ward Beecher, in addi
tion to bis . many other sterling
qualities, has a proper apprecia
tion of the ' real newspaper man.
In a recent banqnet speech he
said;
'If there is one man more than
another that reverences the truth;
it is the newspaper man . If there
be one thing more than another
they are proud of, it is fair deal
ing between man snd man. We
are particular as to our facts. We
sort them and propound them so
thai they shall strike tbe imagina
tion aright. And we are specially
careful of our words, so- as to
measure truth exactly. No more
and no less: V
'Yet even newspapers have , hu
man imperfections, and uncharit
able people say hard things about

papers that go on and prosper with
happy proprietors, it will be found
in the main that they have . been
fair-dealing, and. truth-speaking
newspapers.' With regard to those
who do not speak the troth, I may
say with your concurrence, : may
they never be able to make mon

Again.-if the Democratio party

controlled as they will be by the
South, I ask you if they . will vote
money to pay the interest on your

tax themselves to pay the interest
on that debt which was created for
their subjugation, while they are
left : in poverty? They invested
their money in confederate bond

they lost their slave?; and tho
question I am now propounding is.
when they shall come into power.
and have the power to vote money
or not to vote it, will they volun

will never do it, and those inter

of two thirds in the South and one
third in the North, and that one
third submissive to the other two
thirds, will never vote to pay : the
interest on your debt except on
the condition of paying for their
slaves or of consolidating the re
bel debt with oars, making it all
one : and tbey will never pay a

man of learning and enterprise, at

search for the priceless treasures
of art which he believed must be
lying there.. With vast labor and
perseverance . he succeeded in un
earthing the most remarkable and

When weaefc what has Great done
that he should be dishonored, we
hear lamentations aboat relative

who: should be above- sueh rhetor
ic.and makes daily proclamation of
his honesty and fairness, .148 per
mitted himself to in the :cboru.
We answer that nothing has been
urged against Grant that does not
upon reason and analysis prove to
be a vulgar, scandal, Tstt the

Mr.' Wilkes or Mr. Sumner- believe
for a moment that the President

Mr Greely, were he called upon to
deliver a lecture upon Grant, as Ire
has been lecturing , upon Lincoln,
discuss the President's character
as he and his friends how diecosi
it? On the contrary," were Gener
al Grant dead and the subject of
Mr. Greeley's lyceom observations
his career would be judged calmly,
fairly and favorably.... When Presis

discassed him as something be

to 1 bis renomiuation That was .
political (criticism. - When Lincoln
died Mr Greeley wrote a lecture,
in which he treated the late Presi
dent, with kindness and honor
That was historical criticism. Now
we ask why do not oar ' politicians
be fair and treat all of our public
men whether living or dead with
historical jueticc? 5 Why should
every canvass for the Presidency
be little mere than a carnival of
sliuder of permit ed, an rebuked
defamation? Why . cannot these
men who claim to be teachers and
leaders rise above the murky at
mosphere and be . just? For we
believe that whether a man is
living or. dead, a candidate for
office or a private citizen, he de
serves cold, calm justice. Ia
awarding this to President Grant,
we find ourselves ; confronted by
this uneasy group of witebes in a
wild hurly burly. We look, to the
military career of General Grant,
jd we see eertian marked politi
M events. ' He has paid to

A Connectioni court has recenU

vivorsuip before it. A man and
his only daughter were drowned
ai tne same time, and the oues
tion was which died first " If the
man died first his property would
nave passed to the daughter, and
tbence to her heir, who is her
mother, but who has been divorced,,
from the father. It the daughter
died first then the property goes
to a half-sister of the father. The
settled rule is, undoubtedly, that
in such cases the males survive the
hardships longer than females, and
adults than minors.

Senator Borton aad Civil service Re-
' . form.
We are sorry to see a disposi
tion cn the part of some Repulican
papers to misstate senator Mor
ten's position on the subject of
civil service reform He has been
represented as opposing tbe plan
recommended by the Civil Service
Commissioners and approved bv
the President. No thin r can be
further from the truth. We have
watched his course with .interest,
and there is nothiug in his votes
or so etches in tbe Senate that can
justify such an inicrence. He has
expressed 'tne oeiier that, witb all
the faults of onr system, it was as
good if not better than that of any
other nation; This statement bus
been abundantly sneered at, but
no facts have been adduced which
militate against it, while Senator
Morton, we believe gave the Brit
ish Minister Thornton as bis au
thority for the statement: Senator
Morton fvery properly , challenged
tbe accuracy of one statement
contained in the' report of the Civil
Service- Commissioners. We al
lude to-the charge that ninety
millions of dollars were rnnnclly
wasted in the collection of the in
ternal revenue. It is a looso
charge; based upon some careless
estimates made by Commissioner
Wells in one of his reports or es
says On the subject, .and is so
clearly : an exaggeration that we
have been surprised that Mr. Cur
tis and his associates on the Com
mission - could be 'betrayed into
1 adopting it. We think Senator
Morton did right in denouncing it
as an unwarranted and unjustifiable
attack upon our revenue sorvice.
Senator-Morton has over and over
again-1-declared his desire to give
the plan of the Commissioners and
the' President a fair trial, - and has
announced his purpose to vote for
all necessary appropriations to set
cure that end. Those, who see Q
to find fault with Senator Morton's
senatorial career would do well to
limit the range of their accusations
