Si Convict.
Many a convict, after getting
out of prison, wonid lead a respect
able life if lie could only begin
well. But people are afraid of
him, and won’t trust him or give
liini employment, and so be falls
into roguery again to make out a
living. The late Henry Bay-
mond, of the New York Times,
made a convict lioncst by lend
ing bim ten dollars:
One da)', while busy in bis
room, there appeared to iiim a
man, saying.
‘Is this Mr. Raymond ?’
Being assured of this, be con
tinued,
‘Can I speak to you a few mo
ments sir'!’
The MS. was shoved aside.
‘1 have just come from Sing
Sing,’ hesitated the man.
‘Not from the prison, I liope,’
Siud the editor, by the way of
putting the caller at case witli a
joke.
‘Yes, sir,’ said "tlio visitor. ‘I
got my discharge a few da)’s ago.’
‘Well, my man,’ said R.a)-mond,
‘1 hope you were innocent.’
‘No, sir,’ replied the convict.
‘I was gwilty. You see, sir, I am'
an engineer and machinist by
trade. I wanted to lead an hon
est life,, antf when 1 got a place,
and at work all very well, some
friend came along and told my
boss tliat I was a prison-bird, and
I had: to be out of that. Then I
got another place and got well to
work, and the same tlisng liap-
])ened thei©. Norv I am looking
for another job, and .1 am going
to begin by tolling what 1 am,
and when I get anything to do I
shan’t lose it in the same way.’
‘How much is it, my man ?’
said Mr. Raymond.
‘Well, sir,’ replied the man, ‘1
haven’t got theju-iceofa dinner
about me, now, and 1 don’t know
where I am to sleep tonight. I
think if I had ten dollars 1 could
get on until somebod)' would take
me for •what 1 am wm'tli, and give
me some honest work to do. 1
don’t want to go down lull, sii'.’
The ten dollars closfal the con
versation on the instant. I’er
haps a year afterward, Mr Ray
mond was at a fair of the Amcri
can Institute, and while looking
at some machinery on exhibition.
a decent man in charge of it ap
proached Iiiiii and said :
‘Is this Mr. Rayjnoiid ?’
‘Yes,’ be replied, ‘but I don’t
remember you.’
‘Don’t )'ou reineinlier the man

‘No,’ said Raymond, ‘1 don’t
remember any man from .Sing'

lie found employment in liis own

know his story, and was well
pleased with him, gdving’ him
good -wag’es and steady work in
a place of honorable trust and
resjionsibility. '.raking a bank-
ik tefrom his jiockot, the engineer
repaid tlie liorrinved money, saying
tliat lie had canied it for some
montlis witliout finding an oppor
tunity to leave his Avork aud
come to town for the purpose.
‘It’s a good ten dollars, ]\rr.
Ivaymond, for it’sjust the cost of
saving me from laiin.’
When he told the story after
ward, Mr. Kaymond thought it
was chea}), and said he liad char

A lady Avas riding in lier car

fliey came up to an old Avomaii,
Avith a funny little hood on lior

Avalking on all alone. She Avas
neat and clean, and her skin aa'os
soft and delicate, but she Avas
barefoot.
The lady saw she Avas shoeless^
and stoiipbd tlie carriage.
‘Here is some money,’ said the
lady, in a tender tone.
‘AVliat for ?’ said the woman,
looking lip pleasantly.
To luiy shoes for your feet.

The AA'oman laughed a little
loAV laugh, Avliich seemed to come
from a heart filled Avitli simple

‘Doii’tyou Avanta pair of shoes!’
a.sked the lady, a little hurt.
‘1 s’poso .1 do,’ saidllie AA'oman,
‘but 1 didn’t think of any body’s
giving ’em to me.’
‘Take this bfll^ please, and buy
you a pair,’ said the lady.
‘God bless and roAvard you ?’
ans-Avered the Avoman, heartily.
The carriage drove on, and the
lady sank back on the seat Avith
tears- in her eyes.
‘Oh,.’ said she; ‘1 thoughkl saAv
