Messina, a seaport of Sicily, and while there
was invited to visit the extensive vintage
of 1)---- 1 --1 & M—zo. Their loeation was
in,a pleasant valley some three Miles back
from the city, and beneath a 'portion of
their.gruunds was extended a: large wine
vault embracing an area of two acres.' Af
ter accompanying M—zo, the junior part

after passing nearly half •the length of one.
of the •pipe, tiers we came to a desk where
a man was writing •
"There is one of your own countrymen,"
said M—zo, " and he will accompany
you through the vaults." •
My

quickly dropping , his, pen stepped down
from the stool. and came : forward. He was
employed as clerk in the exporting depart-'

merchants.

was as pu'o as it was ardent; and she pro

At length I feared to walk the streets, for
one night as I was
_passing a dark alley near
the head of Cherry street I. heard the report
of a pistol close to me, and a bullet 'passed
through my hat. I knew • who I fired that
pistol—but I had no evidence. I felt that
my life was not safe in thaticity, and secret
ly I moved to a small town! in ,the western
part of the State of Massachusetts, where
I engaged with a dry-goods dealer.

steps behind me. 1 knew - that I WAS dogged!
" You aro mine!" I heard a voice pronounce
as I turned into my yard, and as I turned I
saw a dusky figure moving off beneath the
shade of the road-side trees. The next day
I sent wdrtl to my employer that I was sick,

'all to my, wife,

me wherever I . wished. Several times du

and having entered it,•the boy drove us or

a tavern where a stage coach Was althost

An *most Forgotten ; Incident.
LLOW ABRAHAM „LINCOLN ANT) OEN. SHIELDS
WAIF. (WINO TO FIGHT A. DUEL, BUT
DIDN'T. .."
Strangely cm 4 lei, the murder. of Marls•
field T: WaltVotit by his son recalls the
story of Abraham Lincoln's duel. The
mother 'of Frank Walworth is the daughter
of John J, Hardin, who saved Mr. Lincoln
from the remorse that would have overshad
owed his life if he had killed Glen. 'Shields.
Col. Hardin was a prominent Whig-politi
cian, and was• esteemed "the, bravest Man
in Illinois." He was killed at the battle of
Buena Vista, and in his death fairly earned
the distinction which his' admiring friends
had given him while living. ' Mr: Lincoln
was his intimate friend, and both men were
gifted with a large sense of humor, which
they turned to good. account.
The hostile meeting between Mr. Lincoln
and Gen. Shields was brought abOut in this
way: A. witty young lady wrote a commu
nication for one of _the' Springfield papers;
in which there were several passages which
the General , was pleased te consider as per
sOnally offensive. He was a testy lrisliman,
who had a great deal of offenSive dignity,,
and could never appreciate' a' joke at his
Own expense. He forthwith !went -to the
newspaper office and demanded the name of
the correspondent, and this being refused,
he gave thek editor three days in which to
make up his mind either to, refer him to the
writer or take a whipping himself.
The poor man was greatly distressed. He
didn't like to be guilty of the ungallant act
of betraying.his lady eorrespondent,;and he
did not care to have a fight with General
Shields, who was a much stronger man. In
this dilemma he came to Mr. Lincoln and
told him of his trouble. The lawyer took
the matter into Consideration, but he could
think of no stratagem for the relief of his
friend_ -At last he said to him: " When
Shields•comes around with his club tell him
that Abe Lincoln wrote that letter." The
editor acted upon the:suggestion, and when
the irate politician appeared, ready, to carry
his threat into execution, he was politely re
quested to call upon AbrahaM Lincoln for
satisfactioh. •
This put a new face on the matter. Gen.-
Shields kriew better than to come , fooling
about Mr. Lincoln with his cane. He was
at that time a great, long-armed, muscular
fellow, good-natured, but resolute, and when
the occasion demanded he could deal such
blows with his•fists as made his antagonists
think that rail-splitting WCIS his pastinie. If
he had been attacked by Gen. Shields, and
bad supposed that it would add'anything to
the humor of the tigl►t, , he would have bent
his assailant over ins knee and administered'
punishment after the Manner Of conscien
tious mothers: -
But after all his threatening and bluster'
Gen. Shiqlds , could - not back out without
subjecting himself to the> ridicule of 1143
townsmen, so he concluded to challenge
Mr. Lineciln. = -The challenge was accepted,
but to thel great dismay of the challenger

.The time and place of meeting were
agreed upon. Mr. Lincoln went early to
the gruin.ltivitli his second, and there being
some bushes in the plat selected for .the
fight, he set to work to clear them away
with a hatchet. While hq was :engaged at
this other gentlemen came on the field, and
they were so struck withhe ludicrous scene
that they could not refl. m. n from laughter.

The Irish Prison System.
Miss Carpenter's recent address in this
. _
city on the " Crofton Reform" - in the Irish
prison — system should he received with et-
tention by the _numerous persons through
out the country 'who are anxious to improve
and elevate our Prisons. This great reform,
'though it has taken the name of "Crofton,"
was In fact especially originated by Captain
Maconochie in - penal colony in Norfolk
Island some thirty - years_s_go. This officer
had under his charge some pf the most des
perate and abatidonal convicts that the
_ -
world has ever known. They were on a re
mote and solitary island, untouched by the
influences' of civilization: They had al
ways been governed by the scourge and
cbain, or starvation and the musket.—
They were considered the outlaws of the
human race. With the severest and most
bloody discipline, little could be done with
them. Ono desperate fellow is said to have
been chained to a rock for years, his food
brought to hint as to a wild animal, and no
one was able, in the smallest degree, to tame
or to title him,
Capt. Maeonoehie came to this infernal
island, where hope and kindnesi had never
entered, and resolved to attempt a newprin
eiple of treatment: His theory, was to ap
ply to the convicts the - same principles that
produce Improvement
,and reformation in
every-day- life. lie resolyal to stimulate
these desperate iVreteltep lfy theliope of re-
ward, and that this reward should be in pal t,
the mitigation of their sentence. He ac-,
cordi ugly framed ncareful slYstem `quarks'
for
'arks'
for good conduct industly, application, and
honest discharge of duty. These marks,
when reaching a certain nutftber,. were to
ditninisbdin a definite degree, the duration
of the sentence. Along with them small
sums of money were paid es wages, which
were either given to the convict to cultivate
hig'self-control, or weretelfl as savings for

and useless punishment, but he saw that be'
had his future career somewhat in his own
hands. His ambition was aroused, his
hopes stimulated, his habits of industry and
application'eultivated, and a sense of self
respect was infused into his character. /
The effects of this system, as well as Citpt.
Maconochie's remarkable character, upon ;
these desperate wretches were wionderful.—
Convicts who had been the outlaws of hu
manity became orderly, decent,. and indus
trious men. Great numbers were entirely
reformed. The ruffian who had been chain-
ed to the rock was appointed to the most
,responsible place on the island, that of
watchman of incoming ships. The whole
colony, instead of a ' hell on earth,' became
ft decent, industrious, reforming convict set
tlement. All this most astonishing alba at
reform was broken down through the . stu
pidity of the British Government. Captain
Maconochie returned a disappointed and
broken-hearted man, and it was reserved,
we believe, for his daughter to set forth,
after his death, to the world the features of
the most. remarkable - experiment, in thei hu
mane treat meut of prisoners which had ever
been made: Though to• this philanthropic
officer his own, life must ,have seemed an
utter failure, yet the ideas in his system
bloomed and pore fruit 'after Pis death.—
And one of - the most snecessful prison man
agers in England, Mr., novi. Sir Walter Crof
ton, took up this neglected plan, improved
and - enlarged its features, and set it to work
in the Irish prisons.
Crofton, it. must. be remembered, was no
sentimentalist. lie believed in punishment.
He thought that every convict ought to feel
at once.the penalties,of his crime. Accord
ingly he would not permit the newly-sen
tenced prisoner to,efiter into cheerful asso
ciated labor with the other convicts, as had
been the Custom, in the,British prisons. He
arranged that the first experience of the
criminal should be bitter and gloomy. He
was placed in solitary confinement, with
only bread and water to eat, with no indus
trial work, an' seeing no one but his keep
er, whoie dui it was to explain to him fre
quently the pr nciples of the reform upon'
which he wa, soon to enter. After some
weeks of this bitter solitude he was brought
forth among other prisoners to perform as
sociated labor. And there for the first time
he could enjoSt the benefits of the ` mark'
system. Each 'day's conduct determines the
duration of his sentence. lie knows that
by his awn industry, order, good conduct,
and application to his books as well as his
work, he can shorten his imprisonment by
fully one-third. After this stage of disci
pline be goes on to a higher, where more
freedom is allowed and wages may be earn
ed,'and Tthally he reaches the highest grade,
where he and his associates work io the
open field without chain, wall, Or keeper,
and return to liarria;ks at night, from which
they are at liberty any time to escape. Ev
• ervthing here is intrusted-to theirdionor and
their self-control. But they know that if
they violate their privileges ,th'ey will be
obliged 16 begin their whole ascent to lib
erty over again. The concluding range is
where the prisoner is Se;t: loose' in society,
but under police surveillance, and required
to report; once in a giveO time, to the pub
lic authorities. .
This, in brief,. is 'the " Irish prison sys
tem." It has worked as remarkable. effects
in the Irish prisons as it did on Norfolk Isl
and. It doeS not of course prevent new
crime, but it breaks pp the great evil of the
modern prison aystem—a tendency to the
repetition of „crime: It sends forth the con
victs• substantially reformed men. Under
it, in the past - few yen s, the number of con
victs of the Irish prisOns has fallen off fifty
per cent. Who'Nvill attempt thiS great re

As the time approaches--in eentejecalities
when thet-farinerAnnst comnaenccr haying, I
have a few remarks to make on the subject:
As far as my - knowledge extends in hay
making, the common red clover is first on
the list; and here let me state that i 4 /Wino
riaar, hi my opinion, -if properly hanAled;
and I will give my ideas as to the props;
'manner of securing it. Cut it when in full
bloom; put it In cocks same day It - I out of
about 75 lbs.'each; -let it remain till 13 fol

loWing afternoon; then haul in out
opening and spread it about in your
as much as you can over 'the floor, on the
mow, kte.; do not leave it over a foot ok
anywhere. If you have than you can
dispose of in this' way leave a load on the
wagon over night, and let it sweat thsre.=—
If -you have straw, mix.-about one•third
straw in alternate layers as yon fill the mow.
The straw- wilLabsorb the moisture from the*
hay and improve the quality of the straw.
When the several parcels become sufficiently
cured pitch them on the mow if you like.
' But says one, that is too much trouble. .
Ye ly likely; this is a world of trouble.—
Cohtine yourself to a tainted diet for *short
time and see if it - is - too-rail& trouble .to

I repeat, that clover-has,no,rival &shay if

some horses would eat too much if they
