~ The following lines, which we
find in an old book, were written
by a convict of the Ohio Penitenti:
ary, and are touchingly beaus
tifu: :
I've wandered tar from thee mother
Far from my happy home;
I've left the land that gave me birth
In otber climes to roam;
And time, since then, has rolled
ils years,
And marked them on my brow,
Yet T have otten thought of tHee—
I'm thinking of thee now.
F'm thinking of the day, moflier;
When at my tender side;
You watched the dawniug of my
youth,
And kissed me in your pride ;
Then brightly was my heart lit up
. With hopes of tuture jay,
'\While your bright fancy honord
wove; .
\ To deck your darling boy.
I'm thinking of the cay, motheér;
When, with anxious care;
Y})“(lift.ed up your heart to heaven;
Your hore, your truth was there;
Sad Wemory brings your pafting
Words,
While tears ioll'd down your
; vheek ; i
lfimr long,lastlovirg IMM&G
{ Than ever words could speak.
I'm tar away from thee, mother, .
~ No friend it near me now,
T'o soothe me with a tendor word,
Or cool my aching brow;
The dearest ties affectiont wove,
Avre now all torn froni wei -
They left me when the trouble
canme—
They did not love like thee.
'm lonely and torsiken now;
Ustpiticd and unblest ;
Yet «tHI T would not let you know
Hesw sorely ' distressel;
i kiiow von would not chide me
miother,
I know vou wonld not hlame,
But coothe nic with your tender
words,
And bid me hope azain,
¥ would not have thee know, minther;
How brighitest hopes decy;
The t mpter with his baleful cup,
Has dashed them all aw y;
And shame has left its venomed
siing,
To rack with anzuish wild—
Oh, no! I would not have thee
know
The sorrow of thy ehild.
Oh! I have wanderel far; nivther;
Sinee I deserted thee,
Aud left thy trustivg leamit tv
bre:dk, ‘
Begorid the deep blue sea;
Oh { mather, still T love thee \\'(‘.}!,-1
Would T eonld hear thee speak;;
Knd foel again thy balmy breath
{‘1)0“ "ly careworn Ch(.‘lfk- |
Buat, ah! there isa%hought, nioffier;
Pervades my bleeding breast,
That thy freed spirit may have
flown
To its eternal rest;
And while I wipe the tear away,
There whispers in niy ear |
A voice that speaks ot heaven and |
thee, o
And bids me’ meet thee there, |

howling like a madman and clucth-

citizens of the town were startled
by the strange ocsurrance, and it
was not until all the negro's wool
was consumed and he had stopped

that the negro, as is quite com
