PRISON LIFE. “This is the last day of the year,” observed Io to her husband, when they stood together on the deck as the vessel, sailing up the muddy Hoogly after a very rapid voyage, neared the city of palaces――“the last day of the year which begun with such hope and joy.” “And closes with such sorrow,” thought Oscar. Husband and wife each silently revolved the question, “What will the new year bring?” “Even what God will,” was the answer in Coldstream’s heart.
