An Evidence of IU-Broeding Sfteujf. of happy times, new scenes and great for. tune ! They came as far as Cleveland, where they remained several days. One morning the other two boys came to bi» room early, and showed him a torge amount ot jewelry, 8c., which they said they had won at cards during the night.— , Knowing that he was in need of funds to pay his board, they pressed him to take | some of it for mear.6 to pay his landlord.— But be/ore he had dispost-d of any of it | they were all three arrested lor burglar), and as a portion of the property taken from the store Which had been robhtd was found in his possession, he too was tried, cnnvic. ted and sentenced. He had no Iriends, no money, and dared not to write home ; so hope sank within him ; ho resigned himself to his fate, never expecting t0 get oiu of prison or see his parents again. Upon inquiring of the two young convicts who came with him on the same charge, 1 learned thut what Arthur h«Cj staled was Mrjotly true, and that hi* oolv crime was keeping bad company, leaving his home, and unknowingly receiving, a'.o. Fen goods. Questioned separately, they all told the same story, and felt no doubt in mjr mind of the boy's innocence. Full of compassion fur the unfortunate little fellow, 1 sat down and wrote a full description of Arthur, his cond,lion and history, as 1 had okaimd it from him, painting ihe,horrors of the place, the hopelessness of his beiiig reformed there, even if guilty, and the probability of his never living out his sentence, and describing the process to be used to gain /lis pardon. This I sent according to the directions in the advertisement.-— But week alter week passed, and no answer camp. 'I'lie boy daily inquired if I had heard Irom his mother, unul, at last, " hope deferred seemed to make his heart sjcli," and ho drooped and pined. At last a letter came—such a letter ! tt was from the Rev. Dr. Bellows, of New iork. IJe had been absent to a distant ciiv, but themotnejt ho read my letter ihe Hood man responded. The father of the poor boy had become almost insane on account ol his son's mysterious absence. He had left his former place of residence, had moved from city to city from town lo town and .travelled up and down ,the country seeding the. loved and the lost ! he had spent the most of a handsome .fortune ; his wile, the boy's moiher was on the brink of the grave, " piuinir lor her first born, and would not be comforted." They then Jived i i a western ci y, whfcher they had gone in the hope of finding or forgetting their boy — or that a change of scene might assuage their grief, tie thanked me for my letter, which ho hod sent to the father, and prom, ised his assistance to procure the young convict'* pardon. This news 1 gave to Arthur; he seemed pained and pleased—hope and fear, joy an.J grief, filled his heart alternately ; but from thence his eye beamed brighter, his slep was lighter, and hope seemed to danoe in every nervo. Days passed—and at last there came a man to the prison, rushing frantically into the office, demanding to see his boy. " My boy ! my boy ! Oh, let me Me him !" There is no greater breach of good manners—or, raiher no better evidence of ill breeding— than that of interrupting another in conversation while speaking— or commencing a remark before unotrier has (u'lv closed. No well bred person ever does it, or continues ,u conversation with any permiu that does- 'l'he latter olten jinds an inlcreitfjng conversation abruptly vt'aived, closed or declined, by tho former aviliiout even suspecting thu cause. It is a criterion w hich never fails lo show the breeding of the individual. A well bred tmtson will iwt eveu interrupt one who is in all respects greatly his infe.

I had been but a few months in charge of the prison, when my attention was at tracted to, and Jeep interest felt in, the numerous boys and young men who were confined therein and permitted to work in the same shops with old and hardened convicts. The interest wos increased on eve. ry evening, as 1 saw thorn congregated in gangs, marching to their silent meals, and ilicnce to (heir gloomy bed rooms, which are more like living sepulo iurs, with iron shrouds, than deeping apartments. These young n;en and boys, generally beinpj the shortest in height, brought up the rear of the companies, as they marched to the terrible ■" lock step," and consequently more easily attracted attention. To see many youthful forms and bright counted ances mingled with ihe old and hardened scoundrels, whose visages betokened vice, malice cud crime, was sickening to tlie struf; But there was one among the boya, a lad about seventeen y8ars of age, who had particularly attracted my attention ; not from anything superior in his counten. ance or general appearance; but by the look of utter despair which ever set upon his brow, and the silent, uncomplaining manner, in which lie submitted to the hardships ami degradations of prison life, lie was often complained of, by both officers and men, and I thought unnecessarily I or light and trivial ofiences against the rules of propriely ; yet he si Idoin had any excuse or and never denied « ei|ar£jn, f.J" Di.C- • t-jirirr.'sinQ, ami once a punishment without a tear or a murmur, almost as a mailer ol course, seemingly thankful that it was no worse. lie had evidently seen better days, and enjoyed the light gf home, parents and friends, if not the luxuries of life. But the light ol hope seemed to have gono out--his health was poor—his laje pale—his frame fragile —and no fire beamed in his dark grey eye ! 1 though! every night, as I s»w him march lo his gloomy bed, that 1 would go io him and learn his history—but there wore to many duties to perforin, so much to learn and lo do, that day after day passcd, and I would neglccl him—having merely learned that his name was Arihur Lamb, and that his crime was burglary and larceny, indicating a very bud boy for one so young. Ha had already been there a year, and had* two more lo serve !
