Etfq uette on the scafrold.

A letter from Petersburg, Of 23d Sept.
says-"The murderers Of Mons Kezmet
have Just been tried and executed. One
Of them was Conrad Tornyl, the servant
Of the deceased, and the other, shoema-
ker named Korwaer. Tornyl avowed his
guilt. The sentence Of the Court was that
Tornyl should be quartered, his body
burned, and the ashes thrown to the wind,
and that Korwaer should be decapitated.
The prisoners appealed, but the King con-
firmed the sentence Of death, changing
Tornyis punishment into simple behead-
ing. The judgment ordered Korwaer to
be the first executed, but this Tornyl pro-
tested against, declaring that as he was Of
noble blood he was entitled to die first
His claim was rejected; he fell upon Kor-
waer, and endeavored to pull him from the
block. Korwaer sent him back with a
violent blow on the chest, ane Tornyl was
on the point Of giving blow fer, blow,
When the eyccutioner's man seized him,
and bound him so tightly as to prevent
him making any exertion. They were
both executed in few minutes af.er.--
This singular ambition Of Tornyl to have
his claim Of birth attended to in such cir
cumstances, calls to mind an execution at
Copenhagen in 1916, where, when some
men were sentenced to death, three Of the
number had been beheaded, but the fourth
refused to place his head on the block, on
the ground that the, person before him had
been Jew, and that he being christian
could object to having his blood mingled
with that Of Jew. After some parley,
the magistrate granted his objection, and
the man having cleaned the block of the
blood as well as he could. placed his head
down TRANQUILITY and underwent his SEN
tence. Ta

THE MISNOsARY-A SAILOR STORY.
BY REV. JOHN 8. C. ABBOTT.

The following story a seaman recently
related 10 the writer. Many years ago,
when New Zealand was land of uninter-
rupted heathenism, the ship in which |
was common sailor dropped anchor at
a cautious distance from The shore, in one
of the harbours of that Island. We had
been months upon the ocean without see-
ing any land. And whea the sublime
mountains and luxuriant valleys of that
magnificent isle rose from that wide waste
of waters before US, it was difficult TO real
ize that we were not approaching some
region OF fairy enchantment. We soor,
however. found that we were still in this
world of sin and wo, for it so happened
that there was terrible fight between two
war parties of the natives raging at the
very hour which we entered the lovely
bay. From the deck of our ship we
witnessed with awe the whole revolving
scene, the fierce assault. the bloody car
mage, the infuraed shneks, the demoniac
attitudes of those maddened savages as
they fell upon each other with degree of
fury which seemed worse than human.
Often we saw the heavy club of the New
Zealand savage fall upon the head of his
antagonist, and he fell lifeless to the ground,
his head was beaten by reiterated blows,
till exhaustion satiated fury. This awful
scene of savage life, as beheld from the
deck of our ship, impressed even US un-
thinking sailors with emotions of deepest
melancholy. q
In consequence of the war, or from
some other cause, no canoe from the shore
approached our ship. As we were entire
" destitute of wood, we sent boats
crew, with many cautions as to safety, to
the opposite side of the harbour to collect
some fuel. was sent with this party5
We landed upon beautiful beach, upon
which heavy surf was rolling. The sa-
wage scene we had just witnessed, so fill
ed us with terror, that we were every mo-
ment apprehensive that party of canni-
balls would fall upon us and destroy US.
After gathering wood for some time we
returned to the boat, and found TO our dis
may that the surf rolling in upon the
beach had so increased, that it was i'm
possible to launch the boat. The sun was
just setting behind angry clouds which be-
,okened a rising storm. The CRESTED
waves were rolling more and more heavi-
| " in from the ocean. A dark night was
coming on, and savage warriors, their
hands already dripping with blood, were
every where around. We were all silent
No one was willing to speak of fears, and
vet no one could conceal them.
| Before we left the ship, the captain had
informed us that an English missionary
had erected his hut about two miles from
the place where we were to land. TIL;
