Difference
Oscar Wilde is described by a London correspondent as a model convict. He is very deft with his hands, and is employed making bags of a
recherche description. The prison fare is agreeing with him, and he has lost the bloated look that distinguished the arch-priest of aestheticism, when the
pet of society. Just now he is busy studying divinity, and asked to be allowed a copy of the "Confessions of St. Augustine," the translation of which is
not exactly suited to the family Circle. There is another volume which has never been translated. It is probably this which the Oxford classic got. It may
be that Oscar, on his release next year, will blossom into an edifying preacher: but whether on the side of Holy Mother Church in one of our countless
sections or as a Buddhist cannot be surmised. Religion of some sort will certainly claim him, as it is the very best social renovator. Willy Wilde has
become a family man, and is said to be both proud of his little daughter and devoted to her. The child is a great solace to her grandmother, Lady Wilde,
who is in winter almost wholly confined to bed.
