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.
Afraid of tho Wages.
* Wb have published tho following
before, and we never hoc it without a
desire to publish it again. It ha*
been brought to our notico by a lady
friend, with the request that it be inserted
in the Enterprise. Let the little
boys read it?let liquor-dealers
read it?let it l>e read by every ono.
"I want your boy in my shop," said
a *hopkee[>er to a poor wiuow. "I
have had a great deal of trouble with
clerks, and now I want your 8eth: because
I know be is houest. 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.?
S it h was to go the next Monday morn'
*ng; and . J&onday morning he was
punctually at bis new post.
The week paused away. When he
. dimo home Ih dinner or supper, his
mortar used to ?sk how he liked it.?*At
first he said, "Pretty well," and
then, "he didn't exactly knowptnon,
?jSrot vorr well," and Sattirday, he fold
it.. *ea
hie mother phuyply, that 4%he did not
like it at all, and wus'nt going to stay."
""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. Is is not
dangerous to tamper with-the wages of
sin on any term*??Child's Paper.

I Got a Going and Couldn't Stop.
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 ?
"O," said Frank, "I got a going
aud couldn't stop."
This is the way that a great many

ing and can't 8top. The U?y that tells
lies, began tirst to stretch the truth a
little?to tell a largo story, or relate
I an anecdote with a very little variation,
till he got u going and couldn't
stop, till he cameout a full grown liar.
The boy that was brought before
i the police, and scut to the House of
Correction for stealing, began by tnk
! ing little things from his mother?by
stealing sweetmeats and other nice
things that were put away. Next he
begun to take things from his companions
at school. lie got a goihg, ami
could not stop till he got into jail.
Those two l>oyB that you see tight-j
ing, out on the Green, began by bonier
ing each other in fun. At length
they began to get angry and dispute,
and calf each other names, till they
gjpt a going and couldn't stop. They
will separate with black eyes and
bldody noses.
There is a young man sitting late
with his companions at the gaming table.
II e has Hushed cheeks, an auxi
>us look, a despairing countenance.?
lie has lost his last dollar. He began
by playing marbles in the street, but
got a going and couldn't stop.
See that young man, with a dark
lantern, stealing from his master's
drawer. He is a merchant's clerk, lie
ennnj from the country a promising bov*
But the rest of the clerks went to tne
theatre, and he thought he miikt go,

i too. ne oegan inuiKing lie would ohI
ly g? once, just t? say that lie had
been to the theatre. But He got n going
and couldn't stop. He used up
ilia wages. and wants mpre money ?
He cannot resist the temptation, when
he knows there is money in the drawer.
He has got a going?he will stop
in the StAte rrison.
Hark! do you hear that horrid
oath? It comes from the foul mouth
of a little boy in the street. He began
by saying by-words, but ho lias got a
going and can't stop.
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.?
One of them, as he was going there one
evening, began to think there might
lie danger in the way. He stopped
and considered a moment, and then
: said to bhnself, "High* about fad?!*1
i He turned on his heel and went back
to h's room, and was never seen at the
public house again. He Iias become
rich, and the nrst block of bnildin I
which he erected was built directly
in fW>nt of the place where ho stood
w^n he made that exclamation. Six
o^We ronng men followed his example.
The remaining forty-three got u
g ?ing and couldn't stop till they landed
in the ditch, and most of tlmiu in
the drunkard's grave.
Beware, then, boys, bow you get a
going. Be sure lwtore you start that ,
you are in the right way, fur when you
are sliding down bill it is hard to atop.
Purity.
I would have you attend to the full
significance and extent of the term
I...I? T. ?.? If- _--o * ; ^ 1
I iiuij. lb is not aubuueiice irum outward
deeds of pivSikucy alone ?it is
not a mere recoil front impurity in
?bought; it is that quick <wid sensitive
delicacy to which even the-.very cofiception
of evil is offensive; it is a virue
which lifts its residenoe within,
which takes a guardianship of the
heart, a9 a citadel or inviolated sanchary,
in which no wrong or worthless ,
imagination is permitted^to dwell. It
is not purity of action that we contend
for, it is exalted purity of heart?the
etherial purity of the third heaven;
and if it is at once settled in the heart
it brings the peace, the triumph, and
the untroubled serenitv of this, there is
the complacency, I had almost said
the pride, of a great moral victory
over the infirmities of an earthly and
accursed natf.ro: thore is a health and
a harmony in the soul?a beauty which,
though it blooms it the countenance
and tiie outward path, isitselrso thorougliry
internal as to make purity of
heart the most distinctive evidence of
a work of grace in time?the most distinctive
guidance of a character that is
ripening and expanding for the glories
of etern i ty? Chalmers.

Tno French Fiddler's Bet.
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.
