An old Printer.

We have in our employ an old printer &c
years OF age, who commenced bis apprentice
ship OF seven years in the Kings Printing
Office, London, in l7S4-64 years ago. He
was a soldier under Sir John Moore, at Corun-
ma, in Spain, in 1903, when be received a ball
in the right arm. He was present at the burial
Of Sir John Moore, and remembers the min
utest particulars OF the scene. He was also
with the Duke Of Wellington through his whole
campaign, and lost an ancebone by grape
shot in the battle Of Waterloo. This old man,
after all his hard service, is still one Of the
swiitcst and best compostors we have ever
known, and though lame from his wounds is
still able at early morn and dewy eve" while
Younger men are wasting the golden hours in
sensual pleasure or snoring them away in
bed, 20 ramble over the fields and through the
woods in search Of wild flowers, with which he
forms tempting bouquets for the bellies Of the
village, or crafty the wishes OF some favorite
little giil. 1t speaks we'll for the heart of the
soldier that all the children love him.-Bkack-
stone Chronicle.

The Western Christian Adrocdte records the
following interesting anecdote Of Jackson.
The scene Of it was in the Tennessee Annual
Conference held at Nashville, aud to which be
had been invited by vote Of the brethren, tha;
they might have the pleasure Of an iniroduc-
'tion TO him:
"The committee was appointed, and the
General fixed the time for nine o. clock on Mon.
day morning. The conference room being too
small to accommodate the hundreds who wished
TO witness the introduction, one Of the churches
was substituted, and an hour before the time
filed to overfowing. Front seats were reserved
for the members of the conference, which was
called to order by the bishop, seated in large
chair in the altar, just before the pulpit After
prayers, the committee retired; and minute
afterwards entered, conducting the man whom
all delighted TO honor They led him to the
bishops chair, which was made vacant for him,
the bishop meanwhile occupying another place
within the altar.
"The secretary was directed to call the
names Of the members Of the conference, which
he did in alphabetical order, each coming for.
ward and receiving from the bishop personal
introduction to the ex President, and immedi
ntely retired to give place to the next. The
ceremony had nearly been completed when the
secretary read the name of Rev. James T
An elderly gentleman, with weather-beaten
! face, clad in suit of jeans, arose and came

always been on circuit, on the frontier; and

A.Rsmarkable Exseutioner.

We have observed several wonderful stories
of late respecting the skill Of the Chinese exc
cutioners who it is said can strike off the
heads of their victims so skillfully that the
poor fellows themselves never discover their
loss until moment or two after they are
dead. We recall to mind, however, the story
of a German executioner, who far surpassed
the Chinese in dexterity. Upon one occasion
it happened that criminal, who was con-
demned to death, had singular itching to
play at ninepins; and he implored permission
TO play once more at his iavorite game before
he died. Then he said he would submit to his
fate without murmur. The Judge, thinking
there could be harm in humoring him, granted
his last prayer; ard upon arriving at the place
of execution, be found everything prepared
for the game-the pins being set up and the
bowls all ready.
He commenced his favorite sport with en-
thusiasm. After while, the Sheriff observing
that he showed no inclination to desist, made
sign to the executioner to strike the fatal
blow while he stopped for bowl. The exc
cutioner did so, but with such equisite dexterity
that the culprit did not notice or feel it. He
thought, indeed, that cold breath Of air was
blowing upon his neck, and drawing himself
back with a shrug, his head dropped forward
into his hands. He naturally supposed that it
was a bowl which he had grasped, and seizing
it firmly, roll it at the pins. All of them
feel and the head was heard to exclaim as it
rebounded from the farther wall, s'Hurrah! I've
won the game !"-Iortto

Eleven years have passed away since that
