yaagiEY.'W Frotn the Ohio 8M? Journs). TO XT MOTHER Tba following lines, written by a convict in/, the Ohio Penitentiary, are louchingly beautiful. \Vc jiavo seen nothing of late that has so moved our sympathy. The man who can write such poeuy, who has such utougiitA, cannot bo utterly depraved. I'll* curse of intemperance, with iu attending downward influence, low here done Iih work, and a spirit noble ami generous that might and should be the pride and ornament of the social circle, is uow the degraded convict in tUe walla of the Penitentiary. How will that fond mother's heart bleed if she shall hear of tier darling boy, the iumatoof a pi is on in A foreign land : Pvo wninjored f^Trom thee, mother, v Far from my happy home; I've left the land that gave me birth, In other climes to ronin; And time, since then, have rolled its years A in) marked them on my brow ; Yet I have often thought of thee? Tin thinking of thee now. I'm thinking of the day, mother, When at iny tender side, You watchcfcl the dawning of my youth, And kissed mo iu your pride; Then brightly was tny heart lift up With hojtfa of future joy, While your bright fancy honors wove ' To deck your darling boy. I'm thinking ^f the day* mother ( When, tfith anxious care, I:a . i * uu iiucu up juur iicnri 10 neavcn? Your hope, your trust whs there; Fond memory brings your parting word, While tears roll'd dotfn your check ; Thy long, Inst, loving look told more Than ever words could *pe?k. I'm far away from thee, mother, No f iend is near me now, To soothe mo with a tender word, Or cool my burning brow ; The dearest ties affection wove, Are nil now torn from me; They left me when the trouble came; They did not lore like thee. Tin lonely and fonaken now, Unpitied and unblest; Yet still I would not have thee know How sorely I'm distress*d ; I know you would not chide mother. Vou would not give mo blame ; Ilutsootlie me with your lender words, T And bid inc hope again. I would not have thee know, mother. How brightest hopes decay ; Tlio tempter with his baleful oup 11ms dashed them nil away; And shame has left its venom sting To rack with anguish wild? Yet still I would not have thee kuow The sorrows of thy child. Oh, I have wandered far, mother, Since I deserted thee, And left the trusting heart to break, Beyond tbe deep blue sea. Oh ! mother still 1 love thee welt, And lor.g to hear thee speak, And feel again thy balmy breath Upon thy care-worn cheek.| out, uii! tncro isa thought, mother, Pervade* my bleeding breast, That thy freed spirit may have flown To its eternal rest; And while I uipethe tear away, Thcro whisper* in my ear, A voice that speaks of heaven and thee, And bids me riek thee there.

The widow was glad, for it was time for Seth to be earning something, and she thought it would be quite a lift in the WonU, to have him go in with Mr, Train: and olio knew he would sub ^ Mr. Train, for Beth did well ovorywhore. AVhen Beth caino home front school, he wm almost as much pleased with hi* good fortune as his mother was.? Neither mother or son knew anything about Mr. Train's store; it was in the Tower part of the town, but his family lived near the widow's, in fine style.?

""Why^-Setti/* exclaimed his mother, grieved and mortified at the change, "are you so difficult to suitae oil this comes to? Do you know how important it is to stick to your business!? What will Mr. Train say ?" "Mother," answered the bov. "the shop is a grog shop, and I cannot stay there," Die mother's mouth was stoooed: indeed. after that she had no wieli tohavo him remain; but alio was very sorry that the ch8? was so. When Mr. Train paid tho boy Saturday night, Seth told him he conld not stay. The shopkeeper was surprised ; "How's this," said ho, "hav'nt 1 done well by you this week?" "Yes, sir," answered the boy; "I never expect to tind n kinder master." "Do you tind fault with the pay ?" "No, sir," answered Seth, "it is good pay." "Well what's the difficulty, then?' Th? pm?r boy hesitated to give the reason. Perhaps the man guessed what it was, for he said, "Come, come, Setli, you wont leave me, I know ; I'll raise your wages." "Oh, sir," answered thdbrave boy respectfully, "you are very good to me, very good, sir; but I cannot he a dram seller. I am affraid of the ways, for i cannot forget time the Bible says. 'The wages of sin is death." Seth left. The man afterwards said it was the greatest sermon he ever had preached to him; and it set him seriously to thinking about giving up the business; but he did not, and his own family bore awful witness to the Bible declaration. A few years alterwards, he died the miserable death of a drunkard, and within six months his son, in a fit of intoxication, fell into the river and was drowned.

A little boy named Frank, wasstanding in the yard, when his father called him : "Frank!" "Sir 1" said Frank, and started full speed and ran into the 6treet. His father called him back, and asked him if he did not hear his first call. "Yes, Bir," said Frank. "Well, then," saidjiis father, "what made yon run into tlie street ?

Fifty young men wore some years a go in the habit of meeting together in , a room at a public house, to enjoy themselves in social hilarity, whore the wine cup passed freely around.?

A little French fiiUUur and his wife, who gained a livelihood by teaching the art of dancing, were on board a steamer on the Mississippi, a short time since. They had got short of funds,and having got ran out in the last place where they had stopjajil, were ' changing their spots" for a more favorable opportunity to engage in their profession of teaching. The French mail was extravagantly fond of his wife, and witi.nl, very chary, of her, often boasting that no man could bo allowed by her to take even the smallest liberties with her charms which are usually winked at bv husbands. But a little affair occtti which shook the poor man's belief in this delusion. Soon after the starting of the boat he went into the cabin, and was soon iu win vrMiuuii wan me captain. .Discovering that the captain was a bachelor, Frencby was pruritic iu aympatby, declaring that he should dio of grief il it were not for the company and carcases of his wile. "Vili, as lor that,1'said the captain, "I litfve the company of the indies much of the time, on lx>ard; and the best of it is, they are all willing that 1 should indulge m a little kissing with them sometimes. "You mean you kissViu all?'* 6nid our hero. "I bet you tivo dollars, you no kiss my little woman!" "IFarioiie!" replied the captain. The Frenchman took out Ins wallet: but Could not tind rl il* a mi mi *if I ?v * iiud 1 bus no money, captain ; but 1 but this liddle, (holding up the instrument.) no uuui ever kiss my little woiiunt! ik Well,'n replied tlio captain, 41I bet iny ship and the whole, cargo against your liddle. that 1 can kiss your wife in two hours from now, it you will bring her into cabin and then retire yourself."' "I goes it?you lose your ship aud cargo, sar." Accordingly, Frenchy brough down his wife, telling her that the captain wished to see her. and adding? "lake care of yourself, little woman, 1 don't know what kind of a man this captain is." The Frenchman retired from tlie cabin; but though he felt qtthe sure that his wife would repell indignantly any attempts which the captain might make to gain his bet, yet lie was u little teartul what might happen. He thought lie might keep his wife iu mintf of him, by playing aud singing a little. So going to a respectful distance from the cabin door, he commenced to sing, accompanying himself with his favorite instrument. Be true, my love, be trne, my'lore; Be true for n couple of hours. Be true, tny love, be true, my love, I el l-I- - - 1 aiiu mic imp nnu cargo* our *. After ho hud finished, tho Captain said: ?. 1 "Your huslmnd seems extremely anx ions aUmf you?1 suppose it would ' half kill him to have another man, to | kiss Ids wife, wouldtrt it. "I don't know suppose you try it H \ The captain did try it, most wared ly, atid the "little woman" returned it as heartiiy. Then, turning her eyes | to the cabin door, she snng ki a sweet voice, a reply to her waiting spouse: ''You're lute, my love, you're Isle, tuy love, 11U arm is round my luklihe; lie ki^ed me oucs. In* ki<m me again? My dear you're loet your fiddle F Tho little Frenchman burated open the door, caught up hit wife, and car rjo.d her off, swearing vengeance on all sea-captains generally, and the Ynn m fltn I 11 ifidfryrmift ifi ijg kees particular. It is no more than Justice to the captain to add, that he ^ did not take the nddle, but was part'ectly satisfied with the other resalts of the bet. ^uu^.uuv-i.xn.v ' Here's a Whopper.?Shanghia chickens grow to an enonunns size in 1 Kansas..
