He said if tho murderers for tbo lat six years wero in prison there would bo 40,000 of them. The eleventh census shows tbat thero are but 7351 in prisou. Mr. White bitter ly denounces tho sympathy expressed for criminals, instancing a recent case where H000 people followed tho body of tho murderer to tho grave and $000 was spent in tloral offerings. Mr. White attributes this increase in crime largely to tho "careless, culpable and crimiual exercise of pardon" by the Governors of various States. Mr. White assigns the widespread criminal education of children by means of dime novels, sc-usational newspapers, posters and melodramas as a particular cause for increase in crime, as well as the fact that young and old are con fined togotber in the prisons. Ha suggests as remedies attention to sim ple elementary moral instruction in schools, cleaner journalism, remodel ing of prisons, laws against vicious books and pamphlets and laws provid ing for habitual ciiminals. He also advocates the passing of laws for speedier puuislment, anil that State courts bhould Kit frequently to receive statements regarding change or miti gation of punishment.

Sheriff's A XI EL MODES was tho High Sheriff of County, Massa chusetts, and his good name, inherited from the father and cherished by the son, made htm not only popular as an officer, but rather wealthy as a man. Why Mr. Rhodes had never got married, the ladies could not ascertain, though they talked tho matter over and over very often, but almost nil said thero must havo been somo cause in hi youth. (Mr. lihodes was thirty-five, at least), which was known only to himself, and per haps one other. "Somo disappointment," said Mis ntiu, a young lady who thought it wrong that gentlemen should bo dis appointed; "some fatal disappoint ment." "Not at all," said her maiden aunt, "not at all, nobodyver thought that Mr. Rho les had courage enough to oiler himself to a lady. He is so modest that 1 should like to see him make a proposal." "No doubt of it, nunt, no doubt of it ; and to hear him, too," said Anna. "Your father and I," said Anna's mother, "once thought that Mr. KliodcH would certainly marry Miss Siuaii Morgan, who then lived in tho neighborhood." "Was he accepted by Miss Morgan?" asked Anna. "I don't believo sho ever had an flor,'' said Aunt Arabella. "Perhaps not," said Mr. Wilton; "but she certainly deserved ono roru Mr. lthodcs; and I hvo frequently thought that, during services in church, ho was about to mako proposals before tbo congregation, as ho kept his eyes continually on her." "Do you think," asked Annn. "that Miss Morgan was as fond of him as he appeared to bo of her?" "She certainly did not take tho same means of showing her feelings," said Mrs. Wilton, "for she never looked at him in church, and itemed to blush when, by any menus, oho dis covered that others had noticed his gazing upon her." should think," said ,,Annvpi"lv , 1 -""- .Mr. ituoaes "The Probers jJa to Radress by Philadelphia', WM conscious eiH and m iU ua of Li jnQm. cation to tho the SpnatpJcilt ftm, Aant Arftb(,a cousi"' 8l,y th,it no ,lllly "k0111'1 alljiuce her feelings under such -uuistances, when Mrs. Wilton re marked, that ouce, when she had 1 joked Miss Morgan upon her conquest, ' shu rather pettishly replied, "that she ; may have subdued him, but he had I never acknowledged her power." "Conquest aud possession did not I go together, then," said Anna. "Well, is this attachment the cause I of Mr. Ktiades's single condition? Was there no one else at whom ho could look iu church, who would be likely to look at him also?" said Anua, noddiug toward her aaut. "No,'' said Aunt A, with a hearty smile; "none iu the pew to which you allude. 1 at least was too strongly impressed with the force of tho tenth coiumaudiueut, 'thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's ox, nor his ass, ever to be looking over Miss Morgan at Mr. ! Rhodes." Ono morning Mr. Rhodes was sit ting in his office, when one of the tho deputies read oil' a list of executions aud attachment, which he had in hand to serve, aud among them was one against a lady at a short distance. Tho amount was not great, but enough to bring distress upon a family. "Let mo take that." said the Sheriff, with some feeling; "it is out of your walk, and I will drive to the residence of tbo person to-morrow morning." Tho modest vehicle of tbo officer stopped ut the door of a ucat dwelling house iu a retired, delightful situa tion, where all things told of taste and economy. Tho Sheriff opened the gate, ascended the steps of the bouse, and asked if Mis Morgan was at home. The servant answered in tho affirm ative. As Mr. Rhodes passed along the hall, ho thought over the part he had to perform bow he should introduce the subject bow, if the debt should prove to be onerous, ho shonld con trive to lighted tho burden by his own abilities; and when be reached the door, he had conned his salutation to the lady, and his opening speech on the subject of his official call. The servant opened the door Mr, Rhodes enteted with a bow. He blushed, hesitated and at length took a seat, to which Miss Morgan directed him by a graceful turn of her hand. After a few moments' hesitancy, Mr. Rhodes felt that it was his busi- , nesa tc open a conversation tbat would explain tho subject of his visit; so he off'.-red, by way of prefaoe, a few remarks upon the coldness of spring. "les, said Miss Morgan ; 'but yet, i cold as the weather has been and even notwithstanding a few frosts, you see the trees uuvo tueir riohest loliage, ; and the flowers are luxuriant." Attachment. "True," said Mr. Rhodes; "it seems that thouih t'aero may be a great deal of coldness, that Nataro will have her own way, nnd, in time, nsscrt her pcrrogative, late, perhaps, Miss Mor gan, but still the same. Mr. Rhodes felt rather startled at his own speech, and looking np, was infinitely astonished to see that Miss Morgan was blushing like ono of the rosos that was hanging against the window. "Wo are always plcasod," said Miss Morgan, "to soe what we admire breaking through tho chilling influ enccs by which they have been re- rtraincd, and satisfying our hopes of tbeir ultimate disclosure. Miss Morgan was looking directly toward tho l.ush on which three roses were clustering in most gorgeous rich ncss. Mr. Rhodes put his hand into his pocket, end felt of tbo official papers, to gather a little courago from their contact. "I have," said Mr. Rhodes, "an at tachmeut." Miss Morgan this time lent blushes to the rose. 'Tho attachment, Miss Morgan, is of a distant date, aud I felt that too much time already elapsed ; that, in deed, instead of intrusting it, as 1 might have done, to auother, I thought that in a matter of so much delicacy it would be proper for mo to come in person." "For mo, Mr. Rhodes? tho attach ment for me?" "As I was saying, Miss Morgan, tho attachment I have; aud I felt it u matter of delicacy to como in person, thiukiug that my own means might bo considered, if thero was any detlcieucy in tho value of this property." "Mr. Khodcs, you seem to be rather enigmatical." "I, nevertheless" paid Mr. R., "mean to speak very plainly when I say that with reference to this attach ment, Miss Morgan, should you honor mo bo far oh- so accept my profession, my pecuniary means would bo devoted to the to tho attachment." "I was," said Miss Morgan, "wholly anpropared fo tbi, I """I Sail alfaia ou.' Vai the caso, eaid Mr. Rhodes, "and theroforo I thought it more delicate to mako tho offer in person." "You aro very considerate, Mr. Rhodes." "Am I, then, to understand, Miss Morgan, that my proposition is agree ablo to you?" In other words, that it is accepted?" "Mr. Rhodes," said the lady, with much hesitation, "I must claim a little time to think of it." "I will call, thou, on my return from the village beyond." "Let me ask n little more time," said she ; "say next week. "Miss Morgau," said Mr. Rhodes, "Iho matter requires immediate an swer ; the attachment is of an old date, and time now is everything. My feel ings nre decuty interested; and may I not hopo that while you aro using so short a timo to consider a subject which you are pleased to viow as of such great delicacy with regard to yourself, you will allow my feelings to weigh with you in deciding in iavor of my proposition, which, I assure you, is made after due deliberation upon my ability to perform my part of the contract." Mr. Rhodes then took his leave, as tonished at his own volubility, whioh, indeed, nothing could have induced but his desire to relieve one so niuoii esteemed m Miss Morgan from pred cnt embarrassment. Mr. Rhodes drove to a neighboi:ng place, deeply oocupied with his good purposes toward Miss Morgan, satis tying himself that tho pecuniary sso rillce he had proposed was due to his untold and unkuown affection for her, and not beyond his means. Miss Morgau felt n renewal of all those feelings which had rather been dormant than quenched in her bosom, aud desired the advioo of her marriod sister, who was uafortunately absent. luat -Mr. Iitiodes uaa onco leu a strong attachhiect 'to hor, she could uot doubt ; that Uo had continued to cherish, as she had done, the recipro cal fueling, she had not ventured to hone. Rut as it was evident that the proposition of Mr. Rhodes was not from any sudden impulse, Miss Mor gaa resolved to signify her assent to a proposition so worthy of considera tion on all accounts. In less than two hours Mr. Rhodes drove np to the door again, fastened his horse, and was readmitted to the little baek parlor, which she had oo oupied in an earlier part of the day. "Miss Morgan," said Mr. Rhodes, "before receiving your answer, which I trust you are prepared to give in favor of accepting my proposals, wish to state to you that I have con sidered all the circumstances of my situation and yours, and find myself better ablo, from somo previously un considered matters, to keep my part of the arrangement than I thought my self, when I ventured to make the offer; aa that the kindness, if you will have that word nsed in this matter, is all on your side." "Lndcr present circumstances I mean those ot our long acquaintance and onr family intercourse, though of late rather interrupted," said Mies Morgan, "and my right, by yenrs (sho added, casting a glance at a looking' glass tbat showed only matured wo manhood), to speak for myself, I nave concluded to consider your proposal favorably." "Consider I Miss Morgan, consider favorably 1 May I not hopo you mean that yon will ocecpt it !" Miss Morgan gave no answer. "Nay, then it is accepted, " said Mr. Rhodes, with a vivacity that Miss Mor gan thought would have brought him to her lips her hand, at least. I ( "How happy you have mado me," said Mr. Rhodes; "having now dis posed of this matter, there are ten doys allowed." "That's very short," said Miss Mor gan ; "only ten days ; you seem to bo in a histo nnnsnal to you at least." "It is tbo attachment, nnd not I, that is imperative." "You speak rather abstroctedly, Mr. Rhodes." "Rut truly, very truly, Miss Mor gan." "Rut why limit ns to ton daysT "Tho attachment requires it." "I thought," said sho, smiling, "tho attachment would be for life." Mr. Rhodes looked exceedingly con fused. At length ho started suddenly toward the lady. "My dear Miss Morgan, is it pos sible that for onco in my life, I have blundered into tho right path? Can I have been so fortunately miscon ceived?" "If thero is any mistake," said Mifs Morgan, "I hope it will bo cleared np immediately. I can scarcely think tbat Mr. Rhodes would intentionally offend an unprotected orphan, tho daughter of his former friends." Mr. Rhodes hastily pulled from his pocket his writ of attachment and f bowed it to Miss Morgan. "This is certainly your name, and this property " "Is the disputed possession," said Miss Morgan, "of my sister-in-law of tho same name, Mrs. Susan Mcrgan." Mr. Rhodes stood confounded. Ho was afraid cf tho courso which the matter was likely to take. "So, Mr. Rhodes, you boo the at tachment was for this property. Now, as it is uot mine, and as, indeed, I have little of my own, you, of course, have no claim upon my person." "I beg your pardon, my dear Misi Morgan, I bog your pardon. You have uot tho property, indeed, for mo tojat tieh, but be pleased to read lower down on tho writ 1 you will see look at it, if you please 'for want thereof take tho body.'" "Hut, Mr. Rhodes, tho promise was extorted under a misapprehension, so that I am released." "Not at all ; you ore required only to fulfill the promisjj, just as you in tended when you mauo it Aud as to the attachment for the wido 1,ler w rtf nam i:r.f-.- .v.. ''" In ten days the clergyman, and not the magistrate, was called in, aud the whole arrangement was consummated. And Aunt Arabella, who was so care ful about tho tenth commandment, de clared that it said nothing about cov eting a neighbors husband, an I if it had, sho did not think sho should vio late it.
