they marched to tho. terrible

andeonsequently 'nom easily attracted pt:
tention.: To. see . Bo. many,. yeuthful forms
and bright countenances mingled with the.
hardened scoundrels, whose .visages, beto

' ing to the soul. Bet.thero waaoneawong
the boyn,,a lad aboutaoyenteen .years of
age, who had particularly attracted my,itt-I
tention ; not from anything,auNrior in
his countenance ~ or general.,appearanee,
but by the look of utter despair which ev
er sat upon his ,brow, and the silent, nh
complainincumyner ia. t which he submit
ted to nlf'tho hardships and degradations
of prison life. 110 was often complained
of, both by officers and niou, and I thought
unnecessarily, for light and: trivial offences
against the rules of propriety ; yet he sel
dom had any excuse or apology, and never

He had ovidently seen better • days, and I
enjoyed the light .of home, parents and
.friends, if not the luxnries of life. But
the light of hope seetnedtohsve gone

-his health was poor—ltiefacepaleltii
frame fragile—and no fire beamed. in his
dark gray eye I thought,Awry -night,
as I saw, him march- to his gloomy. :bed.
that I would go to him; andlearn his his..
tory—but there wore so many. duties-, to
performoo much to learn, and do; that
day. after day passed, and I wouldmegleet
him—having merely learned that his name:
was Arthur Lamb, and that his crime was
.burglary and larceny. indicating. a very:
had boy for one so young. Ho had alrea
dy been there a year, and had two more to
serve I lie never . could outlive, his son.

he felt it. Ile worked. at stone.euttingi

had wo ked a tho prison -yard-..-still
his pule face haunted ine.day end .night—Jj
and I resolved that 013 the next Sabbath ; {
as lie came from school, I would send for
hint and learn his history. It happeued,
however, that I wee oue' day •in a store, !
waiting for the transaction of sonic -hush:
nem, and having picked up au old paper I:
read and re-read, while delayed, -until at,
last my eye fell open an advertisement of , l
"A Lost 'Boy !--Information wanted of a
boy named Arthur —," (I will not give
his real name, for, perhaps he is still lir. ,
ing ;) atid.then followed a description' of
the boy—exactly eorresponding with -that
of the young .conviet—Arthur lamb 1.--
Then there was somebody 4 .w . ho.'eared for
the poor boy, if, indeed it. was him ;
haps s mother, his father, his brothers and
sisters, who were searching .for
The advertisement was nearly a ,year old:
—yet I doubted not—and soon as the con• i
victs were lucked no, I sent for 'Arthur
Lamb. Ile came, as a matter of cootie,
with the same pale • uncomplaining face
and hopeless gait—thinking, no doubt, that
something huitgone wrong, and been laid
to his charge.
I was examining the Convicts' Register
when ho came in ; cud when I looked , up,
there he stood a perfect image of de.
spair. I^ asked him his name. Ho re-
plied :
"Arthur."
"Arthur what ?" said I sternly.
"Arthur Lamb,"" 'no answered
hesitatingly. •
"Have you a father or mother living?"
His eye brightened—his Noice quivered
as tie exclaimed :
"Oh'. have you hoard from.mether ?
is she alive ? .is she well 1" and tears,
which I had never seen him shed 'before,
ran like great rain-drops down his cheeks.
As he becotne calm from suspense,. I told
him I had not heard from his parents, but
that I had a paper.l wished him to read.:
lie took the advertisement which I had
out from • the paper, and as be read it ho
exclaimed : •
~T hat's me ! that's ntel and again
sobs and mars choked his utterance. _
I assured him that. tho:advertisoment

desired to knotv what I should wriM in re-

"Oh, do not, writer' he said, nit will
break my poor mother's heart 1" • ,
I told hint I Must write ; and that it
would be a .lighter blow to his. mother's
feelings, to know : where he was, than the
terrible uncertainty which must hanq hpr
mind day and night. So ho conscntod, - ;
and taking him to my room, I drew frOin
him, in subStatice, the following story r
Uis father was a respectable and.wealthy
mechanic in an interior town of iho State
of New York. At the holding of the
State -Agrieultufal pair, in his entire
own, he got acquainted with two stran
ger oys, older than himself, who porsua
dod him to run away from home, and go to
the West. Ho foolishly' oonsented, with
high hopes of happy times, new scenes and
great fortune l They came aslaias

Full of compassion for, the unfortunate
