placed bctwixt a red lurid fire which
burned upon the ground, and strange
table formed sort o! an instrument. on
which a naked human being lay fet-
tered and extended. In front of the
fire another sd: upon the ground, with
his arms bound behind him. and his
feet fastened to the earth. close to the
scorching cmbers of the fire.

operation was repeated. My wrists
and elbow Joints were dislocated, and
the flesh and sinews OF my shoulders
stretched almost beyond the reach OF
endurance; still UTTERED no scream

strong rope was relaxed, and drawn

almost to deprive me Of sense. Still

TRUE PHILOSOPHY.
OR. THE STOLEN KISS.

The following aneCdOtc Is related OF
a hight respectable aud tale..ted cler-
gyman now preaching in this vicinity.
1t appears he had been settled for
some time, and had got pretty well IL
long in years, when he became con-
Iscious that, in reference to worldly
matters, there yet remained one thing
necdul to give him that weight OF
character which it was desirable he
should possess, and also to enhance il
not to perfect bis earthly felicity, viz:
an help mate. Immediately Oh the
conception of this idea, he oegan anx-
iousIy to look about; but having neg
lected the important matter So long,
as might have been expected. he had
,mbibed many Of those strange and
unaccountab!e notions, 50 peculiar to
the single blessed Of either sex, after
they have attained IA certain age; and
these operated to his advantage in
such wise that he found it extremely
difficult to select one at whose side he
thought he could, without any fearful
iorebodings,' stand before the altar Of
I,mcn.
Now it became known TO the dam
sells round about here that Mr.
was thus circumstanced, and many
there were who would fam have re-
licved his embarrassment. Some
joined his church; and many more
were seen to blush like the first rose
OF summer. if, in the progress of his
dspcnsations from the pulpit. he should
drop his eye towards the pew in which
they were seated--though of course
they dared not acknowledge even to
themselves any thing IN particular, be-
cause of the great doubt relative to the
cice uerSa Of the case.
But to make short story shorter:
Travelling into town one night about
dusk, psr=on- had occasion to call at
the mansion Of an esteemed parish.

sessions, had two or three as fine dausn-l

delicate lips to his check. and gave

POST OFFICE ABUSE.

We have for a long time been aware that some
of the country postmasters take unwarrantable
liberties with the newspapers directed to their
Offices. These papers they often loan out to
their friends, or suffer to be read about their Off
ces by careless persons 50 that when the sub
scribsrs call Tor them they are not unirequently
"6s, torn or abused" Postmas'ers permit
ting this should not only remember that they are
violating the laws and subjecting themselves to a
penalty, but that they are doing great wrong to
editors OF newspapers and drfrauding the sub
scribers. In the SOth section Of the act Of Con-
sress approved March S, 1926, reducing into one
the several acts establishing and regulating the
Post Office Department, it is provided that "if
any person employed in any department Of the
Post Office shall improperly DxrAIN, DELAY, en-
bezzle or DESTROY any newspaper SC. he shall
forfeit a'sum not exceeding FIFTY DOLLARS for
