Pthe object of this lettor, however, is. merely to illustrate by a single and simple incident the hardships attendant upon prison life. Order .d regulations are necessary and proper, but in all regulations the mental and moral welfare of the prisoner should be kept closely in mind. The incident was as follows: Last Tuesday the morning was superiatively beautiful. After breakfast the influence of the glorious sunshine, the broken but beautiful view of the green trees and the rolling hills be- yond the Anacostia, the wafted fragrance of the new-mown hay in the jaf! yard seemed to fill all the prisoners with one common thought, one universal yearning for the free sun and ait of heaven. All along the corridors, from out the close cells, as if animated by a common i pulse, arose, one after another, the low, alf- suppressed hum of voices in song. Every pr cnee soemod to, feel tho benign infincnse of beauteous handiwork about him in sky and ar. in field and tree. Every heart seemed tuned to song, but all were songs plaintively suggestive of some unsatisfied longing, A MEMORY OF HOME. ‘One sweet voice (that of a girl), tearful in its smothered sadness, seemed to echo the soft re- frain of the dove, as if the singer’s thoughts were hovering far away o'er some quiet spot where sin and sorrow were unknown and where the sweet influences of home life in the country precerre the soul from taint, as the notes of “My Old Kentucky Home” floated forth from her'lips. « From another voice, whoee owner's thoughts ‘wore evidently wandering among the shades of the old trees that overhung his ancestral home and among the festoons of fragrant roses that 1e garden wall, came, in touching ten- derness, the air of “Down on the Farm.” Another prisoner, whose future pathway was doubtless darkened by the ehadow of a long im- prisonment, and who probably felt that world is all a fleeting show lusion given ; aera Eve Baptist. doce Aa 's nothing true but heaven,” sang with » pathos I had never known before “0 for a Closer Walk With God.” No doubt, after the bitter experiences of life, with all its sin and sadness, its disappointments and doubts, its fears and tears, its hollowness and its heart- aches, there was a soulful longing for a closer communion with the purer spirits, the guardian angels of the world to come.
