Execution Of a Bow

murder of Rev. J. J. Wcems, took place
on Friday last, the Oath Inst, at Alexan-

fact the inhabitants all round, were anxious
10 see him executed; and on the fatal day
when it came to pass. there was not a
dozen people there Some drove forty
miles to witness this painful drama. but be

came to Alexandria. On the day before
he was called to face death. some gentle
men visited him, AID propounded ques-
tons to him but his answers were, and
could. be no other than childish. He was,
believe. only ten years old. The gen.
,lemen told h,m the Sheriff was to hang
him on the next morning-and asked him
what he thought OF ii, aud whether ht
had made his peace with God. and why
he did not pray! His answer was-"l

MISCELLANEOUS.
HE IA =


On. ofthe most remarkable eases OF sud
den cure of disease of long standing, was
that 0! rheumatic invalid. with which is
connected an amusing ghost slo:y. There
were couple of men, in some old settled
part of the country, who were in the hab-
it of stealing sheep and robbing church
yards OF the burial cloths of the dead -
There was public road, leading b, Il
westinghouse where there was . grave
yard, aud not far off on the road tavern
Early one moonlight night, while one OF
the thieves was engaged in robbing grave,
the other went off TO steal sheep. The
first one having accomplished his business,
wrapped the shroud ound him, and took
his seat in the meeting house door, await
ing the coming Of his companion. A man
on inet, passing along the load towards the
tavern, took him to be a ghost, and, alarm
cd almost to death. ran, as fast as his feet
reached out OF breath. As soon as he could
speak he declared that lie had seen GHOST,
robed in white, aud sitting in the church
aeor. But nobody would believe him.
lie then declared :hat if any of them
would 90 with him. he would 60 back, and
they might be convince1. But, incredn-
lous as all were, no one could be found
who had the courage to go. At lengtha man
eho was afflicted with rheumatism that
he could not walk, declared he would go
with him ii he could oniy walk or get
there. The man then proposed carrying
him OH his back, took him up. and of
they went. When they go, in sight, sure
enough there it was, as he had sad.--
Wishing to satisfy themselves well, aud to
get as near view OF his gaoslship as they
could in the dim light, they kept venturins
up nearer and nearer. The man with the
shroud round him, took them to be his
companion with sheep on his back aud
asked in low tone Of voice

"Fat or lean, on may have him; and
dropping the invalid, travelled back 10 the
tavern as fast as his feet could carry him.

A Distressed Crab.

| Several years ago, man named Crabb
petitioned the Legislature o: Massachu-
sets to change his name, becaase his
sweetheart refused 10 mary him. He
was unsuccessful, and the parting inter-
view between him and his lady love was
sketched in the following style, which We,
publish for the fun of it.
Some weeks ago, we published the
| amusing conversation which occurred in
the Legislature on the application Of Isaac
Crabb TO have his name changed to Har-
rison, for which his plea was, the sound Of
his name associated SO many offensive re-
collections Of a crawling nature to his deli
cate sweetheart, that she made that the
only objection TO matrimonial bareein
with him. On the rejection Of Crabb's
bill by the senate. the New York Trans

TIE DRUNKARD's WIFE.

Weary and sad am sitting alone,
With a dying babe at cold hearth stone |;
And list to the sound of the drifting snow;
OH how unlike SO long agol
Those gided dreams have passed away
That filed my heart on its marriage day,
And the trembling tear drops silent flow
Are the tribute of long ago.
Oh the hidden power of the sparkling vino
Can Danish love from its hottest shrine,
And place in its stead wreath of woe
In the faded hopes Of long ago.
The browning JOY Of woman's life
Is breathed the blissful name of wife;
And the deepest pang that her heart can know
Is the blightcd love of long ago.
THE FEMALE SEvA5ToPOI.
There is fortress fair as art
And cold as Russia's cline of winter,
Walled round within maiden's heart,
My love has sought in vain to enter.
Long I've besieged her castles fair,
With all Loves forces, sweet and tender,
But still she reigns unoonquered there,
And still refuses to surrender.
o for some friendly power in arms
Some Austria of contending nations
To soften her resisting charms,
And bring Der to negotiationsf
For, by consent of heather love-,
The seige shall never be forsaken.
Till conquest crowns the arms of Love,
And my Scvastopol is taken.
