their robust persons. Far different was their lot now, to
the free and happy existence which had once been theirs. Eugene Pearson,
the dapper young gentleman, was put at hard labor in the stone-cutting
department; Johnson, the dentist, was assigned to the machine shop,
while Edwards and Duncan were working in the shoe-making department.
Day after day the weary labor was performed, and night after night the
gloom of the prison cell enshrouds them. Weeks will roll into months and
the months will stretch into weary years, ere they will breathe the
sweet air of liberty again. Within the frowning walls of the prison,
they are paying the heavy penalty for their crime, and here we must
leave them, in the earnest and sincere hope that true repentance may
come to them, and that when their term of servitude is ended, they may
come forth, filled with resolves to live down the stain upon their
characters, and by upright and honorable lives to redeem and obliterate
the dark and painful past. That "judgment overcometh crime," has been
fully proven in the lives of these men, and trusting in the future to
redeem the past, we leave them to the burdens and the solitude to which
they have brought themselves.
THE END.
1883. 1883.
