In asking you to make astetcmenb I am mere- lyizsking for your help to right a. wrong, if 8 Wrong has been done. Leave your own wishes entirely out, of consideration, if you prefer. Assume, if youwill, that. it is not our intention or desire either to give you relief or to make your case harder for you.

I ask you in the nam of common human'v' and as one man of ' way of working you have the 3‘ you will co The two men sat looking at each other in silence, and as they looked a bridge of human sympathy was slowly reared between them. The chairman rose, passed around an intervening table, went up to the con- vict, and laid a. hand on his gaunt shoulder. There was a tenderness in his voxce that, few mtn had ever heard there. The convxct’s mind worked slowly, and it was some time before he could comprehend the explanation and request. When- he had accomplished that task he said, very slowly. “ I suppose you want me to make com laint, sir." “ ee,â€"if you have any to make.” The convict was getting himself in hand. He straightened, and gazed at the chair- man with a. peculiar intensity. Then firmly and clearly he answered, “I’ve no complaint to make." “ We are the State Prison Directors. We have heard of your case, and we want yogto tell us the whole truth about it.” The convict. got himself together a little and looked steadily at the chairman. “ No,” he rep‘ied, after a. pause. His man- ner W33 direct, and his voice was deep, though hoarse. “ We know all about that. Remove his manaclea." The guard obeyed. The chairman turned to the convict, and in a kindly mannex said, “ 20 you know who we are ‘2” “ Why, axr," atammered the guard, “surely you know who this man is: he is the most dangerous. and d_espert{t_e-â€"" 7 u I", I -_.‘.,.. ..... , â€"..‘.,...uuuu~uu The chairman turned .sharply to the guard. “ Why did you manucle this man,” he demanded, “when he is evidently so weak, and when none of the others were manacled ? ’ The convict started as though he had been struck, and turned his eyes upon the chairman. He drew a. deep inspiration, which wheezed and rattled as it passed into his chest. An expression of excruciating pain swept over his face. He dropped the ball, which struck the floor with a loud sound. and his long, bony fingers tore at the striped shirt over his breast. A groan es- caped him, and he would have sunk to the floor had not the guard caught him and held him upright. In a. moment it was over, and then, collapsing with exhaustion, he sank into the chair. l‘here he set, con- scious and intelligent, but slouching, dis- organized, andjndifl‘erent. Upon stumbling wcamy into the room. faint with the labor of walking and of carrying the iron hell, he looked around eagerly, like a. bear driven to his hsunches by the bounds. His glance passed so rapidly and unintelligently from one face to another that he could not have had time to form n conception of the persons present, until his swift eyes encountered the face of the warden. Instantly they flashed : he craned his neck forward; his lips opened and became blne ; the wrinkles deepened about his mouth and eyes ; his form grew rigid, and his breathing stopped. This sinister and terrible attitudeâ€"all the more so because he was wholly unconscious of it â€"was disturbed only when the chairman ‘ sharply commanded, “ Take that seat." l There had been no time to prepare him for presentation to the Board. As a conse- quence. his unstockinged toes showed through his gaping shoes ; tho dingy suit of prison stripes which covered his gaunt ‘ frame was frayed and tattered ;his hair had not been recently cut to the prison fashion. and, being rebellious, stood out upon his head like bristles ; and his beard, which, like his hair. was heavily dash- ed with gray. had not been shaved for weeks. These incidents of his appear- ance combined with a very peculiar expres- sion of his face to make an extraordinary picture. It diti‘icult to is describe this almost unearthly expression. With acertain suppressed ferocity it combined an inflex- ibility of purpose that sat likcau iron mask upon him. His eyes were hungryand eager; they were the living part of him, and they shone luminous from beneath shaggy brows. His forehead was nussive, his head of tine proportions, his jaw square and strong, and his thin. high nose showed traces of an ancestry that must have madea mark in some corner of the world at some time in history. He was prematurely old ; this was seen in his gray hair and in the uncom- moniy deep wrinkles which lined his fore- head and the corners of his eyes and his mouth. Just then the guard appeared with the convxct, who shambled in painfully and laboriously, as with a string he held up from the floor the heavy iron ball which was chained to his ankles. He was about forty-five years old. Undoubtedly he once had been a man of uncommon physical strength, for u. powerful skeleton showed underneath the suliow skin which covered his emaciated frame. His sallowness was peculiar and ghastly. It was partly that of disease, and partly of something worse; and it was this something that accounted also for his shrunken muscles and manifest feebleness. “v“.-. .J , Avuflll Acupâ€" “ There are ways of learning what. occurs in a prison without the assistance of exther the warden or the convicts." The \Jnrden sank back into his seat. He was a. tall, fine-looking man, well-bred and intelligent, and beds kinvlly face. Though cnlinurily cool, courageous, and self-pos- sessed, he was unable to conceal a. strong emotion, which looked much like fear. A heavy silence fell upon the room, disturbed only by the official stenographer, who was sharpening his pencils. A stray beam of light from the westering sun slipped into the room between the edge of the window- shade and the sash, uml fell across the choir reserved for the convict. The uneasy eyes of the warden finally fell upon this beam. and there his glance rested. The chairman, without addressing any one par- ticularly, remarked,-â€" “I am ignorant of your purpose in sum- mon.ng this man, but of course I have no objection. I desire, however, to make a. statement concerning him before he ap- pears. “ When we shall have called for a. state- ment from you,” coldly responded the chair- mgi, “ you_ may make qne." The warden bowed atiflly gnd directed a. guard to produce the convict.T.1en,tum- in; to the chairman! he said, â€" “Névertheless.vyofi will send for him an 0009.” reappndgd the} c‘mjtmzm. After the Board of Stale Prison Direc- tors, sitting in session at the prison, had heard and disposed of the complaints and petitions of a. number of convicts. the ward- en announced that all who wished to ap- pear had been heard. Thereupun a. certain uneasy and apprehensive expression, which all along had set upon the faces of the dir- ectors, became visibly deeper. The chair- manâ€"s. nervous, energetic, abrupt, incisive manâ€"glanced at. a slip of paper in his hand, and said to the warden,â€" . “Send a. guard for convict No. 14,208.” The warden started and became slightly pale. Somewhat confused, he haltingly replied, “Why, he has expressed no desire to appear before you." THE INMATE OF THE DUNGEON.

There are various signs of the coming of spring, beside the arrival of the festive robin, and the piping of the mythical sky. lurk. The passes quickly, and soon our “ b8.- biés” become’men and women. but. the one thing imperishable is the resull, of our early teachings. Some individuals do inherit a. sullen dis- position. but I am confident that; many more al‘e cultivated, through wrong accusa- tions nnd‘dtnjust. punishment. To under- stand-ourselves, to study our children, and have respect for their individuality, this should be our aim. Instead of saying. “ Spare the rod and spoil the child,” would it. not be well to say, “ Spare the rod and antidy the child?” H, r“" One of the secrets of successful control is the power ofa. mother to distinguish and discriminate between the real causes of an act. Was it from direct disoledience, was it from carelessness, or ignorance, or was it ’ really the result of an accident? Each one of these calls for a different mode of treat.- ‘ment. To construe an act as intentional ‘ when it was purely accidental. and punish as such, never corrects the fault, but makes a. child sullen, and even defiant. 'l‘o scold a. child for something. when it knew no bet- ter, but did the best he could, makes him fenriul, silent and awkward. It checks originality and retards his confidence, 3 thing which will be more precious to you by and by. Especially on the nervous, sensitive clul’a'is' its effect more noticeable. ’I‘o such a. one sympathy and a correct understanding ofits motives are as essential to its proper. growth as sunshine is to certain flowers. - In school {vork or in busine. a life, we all like the one who is bright Inc active. Is it consistent, then, to suppose tlat this same activity will not manifest itself in their homelife? Yet how often we try to check it? Haweis says, “There is one thing better "than crushing impulse, it is using impulse.” So long, then, as their make-believe plays are pure and instructive, let them play. it encourages originality, inventiveness and independence, and lays the fa intlution for business life. Not only ought we to allow them to play, but we ought t( suggest and improve upon such portions 01 their games as are not correct to real life. The mother who takes this interest in her children will find them developing, and abstaining from evil ways without much effort on her part. I‘ B 1‘ A II n - . r That person has most inflicnce over a child who is most in sympathy with it. Sympathy makes children easy .graceful and above all truthful.

In knowing self then we can anti- cipate their natures, knowing what to guard gguinst. One of the hardest tasks of a mother’s ‘ life is the government of her children. That we can make children mind is perhaps the boast of many of us; but to make our government coincident with proper develop- ment, to restrain and not destroy all in- dividuality; to punish only when the act merits it, to advise at just the moment when their minds are in a state to appro- priate the lesson for their good; to guide, yet not retard originality: in other words, to make them thoughtful, unselfish, lovable, easy and graceful as well as obedient is another much more difficult thing.

Mr. McCleah-y moved for a. return of copies of all co‘ respondence in connection with the granti q of a shop license for the sale of liquor to one Joseph Aspinall, of the town of 'l'ileonburgh in the South Riding of Oxford, for the year ‘1893-94. Also, copies of all papers and documents in possession of the Government, or any official thereof, relatin to the said license, ‘tpgether with a copy 0 the report of the chi i inspector. who inquired into the complaint that the license was fraudulently gran .. He said that from information in his posse} ’on this license had been illegally grante . He recounted the circumstances as he uhmder- stood them, and said that the Government, while appearing to court investigatio . did not ever seem to be anxious to folio up their enquiries by such action as would stamp out the evil practices which certain- ly did exist in connection with this depart- men t. J Wednesday‘s Sesslon. CONCERNING mun SCHOOLS. Mr. Bush asked whether, when non- residents move into a. High school dxstrict. they immediately became residents. under sub-section 6 of section 2 of the High School Act, or must they first. become ratepayers in the district. “fir- _- v--â€" .u.v unuuusuulcfl U. Mr. Dryden pointed on: that. the hon. member erred in his attack on account, of his ignorance of the subject. under discus- sion. He answered his various arguments at some length, to show that. they were not well founded. Mr. W'ood (Hastings) denied that there was any desire on the pars of the Opposi- tiopfio injure phc institution. Mr. Dryden after recess resumed his speech regarding the management of the Guelph Agricultural College, dealing par- ticularly with the experimental dairy, which he justified on the ground of its great usefulness. The increase in the expendi- ture in connection with the college was due to the various new departures which had been Inaugurated in order to increase its efiiciencv. He was proud of the college, which, he thought. was unequalled on the American continent. While there were no doubt improvements possible in connection with it, he hoped that the hon. gentlemen opposite would criticise it in a. spirit of loyalty and fair play. and thus help to build it up, instead of attempting to pull it down. Mr. Clancy said that friendship might be shown by just criti~ism. He charged that money had been needlessly expended in the management of the institution. The stock purchased in 1891 and 1892, with the stock on the farm at the beginning of 1891. to- gether with the cost of maintenance,amount- ed to $36,780. The receipts from sales and services during those years, together with the value of the stock on hand at the end of 1892. amounted to $23,596, or a shrink- age oi $13,192 in that time. These were not the methods of economy to teach ‘the students. Continuing, he criticised the administration of the college ad‘airs in var- ious departments, saying that there seemed to be no attempt at economic management. ll- h-..JAA, A,-,i 1 .‘ . . After some discussion, the estimates were assed. v -v--- v. ullv u-w. Mr. \Vood was in sympathy with any movement. which would aid in facilitating the settlement of disputes of this nature. but thought there might be too much of this sort of legislation, and was afraid it would encourage a. great number of small disputes. The bill was read the second time. 1N SUPPLY. The House then went into Committee of Supply,and passed the estimates for public buildings, amounting to $221,390. For miscellaneous expenses of civic government $9,650 was voted. The estimates of the Department of Agriculture were introduced by Mr. Dryden. He entered into explana- tions of the figures given, and told of the progress made by the various branches of his department during the past year. He referred to the statements made both out- side nnd inside the House that the meet- ings of the Farmers’ Institutes were politi- cal in character. He distinctly denied this, and regretted that these charges should be made, as they could not but tend to de- stroy the influence of the organizations referred to. It was not fair to make as- sertions of this nature, which hon. gentleâ€" men must surely know to be unjustified. With regard to the Guelph College, hon. members would notice aslight change in the character of the stall of teachers, by which a. saving would be affected, and he hoped the efficiency of the staff would be increased. Continuing Mr. Dryden refer- red to the efficiency of the new members of the College staff. and said that hon. mem- bers had asked why he did not make the college nay. An Hon. Memberâ€"Well, why don't you '2 Mr. Drydenâ€"The object of an institu- tion of this kind is not to make money. If it were being run to make money. he suid, many expenses now incurred would not be undertaken, which are necessary in order to make the college an educational institu- tions of a high class. J I l ARBITRATIOXS. Sir Oliver Mowat moved the second read- ing of his bill respecting councils of concil- iation and arbitration for settling industrial disputes. He explained at some length the provmions of the bill, and cited instances in which similar measures had had a. very good efl'ect in arranging strikes, lock-outs, and other disputes. Mr. Meredith object/Lil to the machinery provided by the bill, as being cumbersome, and also thought that the decisions of the councils should have the force of the law.

Upon receiving the information the department immediately communicated with Dr. Andrew Smith, one of the Dominion inspector; {or contagious diseases. Under his authority the district had been visited and the affected animals examined, the conclusion being that the disease was not contagious, but arose from local causes, and was mainly due to the special character of the food, which was said to contain more or less ergot. Dr. Smith had reported that as 80011 as the food was changed the animals would speed- ily recover. Monday and Tuesday's Seulons In the Local some. A NEW CATTLE DISEASE. Mr. Rorke asked, Has the Government been apprised of a dieease among cattle in the south-eastern portion of the County of Grey, pronofinced by some veterinaries as ergotiam? Ifso, is it the intention of the Government to enquire into the cause and effect of the disease, and supply to farmers every available information as to the beat preventive methods and remedial treat ment?

The report of the Inspectors of Colleges had proved conclusively that the teachers were fully qualified. and the methods of teaching modern, and approved of in all the leading universities of the world. The bill was as near as could be to making the college independent of the province. In far:- thn college would only be tied to the province by the power of the Legislature to appoint, five trustees. The bill was reported with one menu. It being 6 o’clock, the Speaker left the chair. Mr... Meredith was satisfied that unless some radical change was made in the man- agement of the college i: would regrogradg. The teaching staff was not up to the Ynark. It. would be a good thing for the province if the college was cut, loose from the House, and allowed to manage its own affairs. (Opposition “ Hear, hem-m”) Sir ulive} Mowat did not agree with this view of the case, but suggested that the emunemtion be fixed at $3 for preliminary meetings. 34 for whole-day sittings, and $2 for half-day sittings. This carried. The bill was reported, with amendments. UPPER CANADA COLLEGE. The House then went into committee on Mr. Ross' bill respecting Upper Canada CoAllege. \lriMerediti' 'L-rught that t1»,x councillor should give their svrvices tree.

The remuneration 5f members of the councils was fixed by the Attorney-General at $4 for preliminary meoflings. $6 for whole-day sittings, and $3 for half-day sibgngsz Sir Oliver Mowac replied that the people had taken a. great deal of stack in those views for the last twenty-two years. 4Hch ernment cheers and laughter.) Mr. Merediih said {hat his observation of the course pursued by the Government led him to dissent, from the Attorney-General’s view of the case. The people took no stock in the views of the Governmentv re‘ garding the creation of officers. Sir Oliver Mow“ ={lenied the statement. He said he did not wish to use any stronger language than that in was incorrect. No oflices had been created that were not for the bencfiL of the people. Mr. Mer'ediufi said that" fine the hon. gentlemen opposite decried patromge. yet they lived upon it, and created offices to scatter around among theig‘ trienxis. Another chase respecting Vibe appoint- ment. of thi‘councils led to a. passage of arms betwgen :he tyo Igaders. Mr. Clancy did not think that a clause which enacts that no diapuLe shall be sub- ject to conciliation, in which the numberpf employee: was less thar tea, was a fair one. He asked why should h not. apply 25 an): nu_n_1ber‘.’ Sir Oliver Mowat consideredulmt the line must be drawn somewhere. The House went, into committee on the Attomey-Genernl’a bill respecting Councils of Conciliation and Arbitration for settling Industrial Diapnttea. The Speaker took the chair at three o’clock. Mr. Hardy again pressed that. the bill be withdrawn. Mr. Gilmour did not propose to withdraw the bill, and said that if it could not. go to a. committee it would have to be voted down. The motion was declared lost on divisxon hIt bemg six o'clock the Speaker left the c an. Mr. Barr hoped that} the hi 1 would go to a. committee and mean: the attention of which 115 thpughtjc worthy: Mr. White considered that some g0_od might emanate from the bill if it. was sent, to a. committee. Mr. Meredithconcurred with the views ex- expressed by the hon. Commissioner Cro wn Lands. He added that one result. of the bl“ would be that it. would cost. fifty per cent. more for expep‘ses in obtaining a loan. Mr. Kaidy thought. that the bill as dun. .1 "9 contained very serious proposi- tions, and that the hon. gently“... sou!!! not do better than lay the bill over for future consideration. Mr. Gilmour moved the second reading of his bill to abolish the personal covenant in tyzortzazel. After some discussion, the motion was carried. Mr. Hardy had not, thought tho hon. member serious in introducing this bill. It was not supposed tha'. people vgere to be paid for the time spent. in attendance at a coun.

About two miles from his Cabin the tracks of the wolf led the pursnrer under a long shelf of rock. protruding from the side of a mountain. There was no snow here and the father lost the trail, but he now urged his dog, which up to this time he had compelled to remain with him. The dog took the lead and the man followed, fully expecting to fihd the entrance to the wolf’s den. from which he could hardly hope to get the baby alive. But his fears were groundless; he soon came upon his faithful dog we ing his tail and looking down at a. little w ite bundle at his feet.

The coins were bright and new, and were good counterfeios of the genuine article. They rang well and had every appearance of good money fresh from the mint.
