We have here in the let Ol Colombia Verb reformato- ri**s. one for bojt and one for girls. All minors under Sixteen years of sge convicted of misdemeanors are supposed to be sent to one or the other of these institutions, and the length of service depends entirely on vhe discretion of the judge sentencing them and the nature of the off ens* committed. Now, as to the question nf cili-**nship, minors are nor .-itizens in the sense in which these writers use the term and therefore could riot be deprived of a pri.ile**,e which they do noe possess, nut admitting for the sake of argument tbat the laws of Vir¬ ginia deprive a male child who hss bevan convict***! of crime of the right of suffrage on attaining his majority, would his b**ingseut toa reformatory aff ct that right more or less than be¬ ing tent to jail or tbe penitentiary ?

Thus you see that the Reformatory is only rodlher movement for tl terment of tbe eor.dition of the unfor¬ tunates of om race. Perhaps the officers of the Reforma¬ tory movement regarded the srncle thai appeared in the R former some weeks ago on this subject in the same light thai I did, snl therefore kilowed it io pass without macing a reply. 1 could not feel that the article was written with a real desire* for in forma* ;. even in the spirit of unbiased criticism Hut, in my judgement, the writer took that me I kod of using up ld ie momenta and at th* same tone striking at a ui-ivemeni that did not | n to meet his approval.

The Savior, Christ, the L >rd was born,And in an humble manner la d.On that, the uiowt auaptoio.il morn,That broke forth since the world was

made.Then came a ssar o'er Bethlehem,To guide the wise men to the pla -eWhere as a royal diadem.lt shone upon tue m'an.'a faceFor three full year* of God lie taught.Tuen sealrd ins doctrine with Ho*

blood,The great work of redemption wroughtAs in man's stead the Savior stood.Let every heart with Joy break forth!On thu*, thu Christian's natal day,Our lovat hearts shall mt be lothTo Chriat our willing homage pay .

"Glory to God in the highest!""And on earth peace! good will to¬

ward men."Duty on every ons lie-*t.His brothers' distresses to ken.tiing of the blessed Bwdeenier,And scatter your gifts me you go,Be not in tin world a men* dreamer,Go forth with the sowers to sow.

And if the good Lord hath blessed theeWith food aod good raiment to wear,lt may be He thus would test thee.To see if with others cheerless Beek,

then.And carry good cheer to the poor.Thus being a blessing to all men,Great blessing*} shall crowd at thy

All minors under Sixteen years ofsge convicted of misdemeanors aresupposed to be sent to one or the otherof these institutions, and the length of
