ScESE AT A lNNcH.isAw Excel.
TIos IN MlsslsappI.--The people Of
Pontonoc County. Mississippi lately
executed, according 10 the code Of
Judge Lynch, a man by the name OF
Gray. At the execution the following
scene occurred, according TO the paper
published in that county e'f
Whcreupon Major Steel, by request
ofthe company, prayed a very solemn
and fervent prayer for the spiritual
welfare Of the prisoner and for the
sanction Of Heaven upon their pro-
ceedings--the most respectful order
and silence being observed by the
crowd during the prayer. Some other
remarks were then made by the pri.
soner, mingled with prayers, &c. He
then called up the brothers present
Of the man he had murdered. and
desired TO shake hands and bid them
farewell they all-being three or
four, We believe-camc up and gave
him their hands. Here, or durin Z the
intervals Of these proceedings, con
tribution was made up by the compa.
ny present, of about two hundred
dollars, for the benefit of the prison
ers wife and child, who were about
to be left widow and orphan. After
which the prisoner was mounted upon
horse--a handkerchief tied over his
eycs-made to stand on his feet upon
the horse-the rope frightened over
the limb-the horse led out from un-
der, and the unfortunate victim Of the
terrible vengeance Of an outraged
community left to swing and. quiver

A DISTINCTION WITH A puYIRxHcE

Some years ago, when Mormonism
was rampant, and Millerite preachers
began to abound in New England, q
reverend divine, man at once of in
finite eccentricity, good sense, and
good humor, encountered ono ofthese
irregular practitioners at the house OF
one of his flock. They had a pretty
hot discussion on their points Of diff
ference, and at length the interloper,
finding more than his match at polem
les, wound up by saying: ~
"Well, doctor, you'll at least allow
that it was commanded to preach the
Gospel to every critter." 81
"True," rejoined the doctor, "true
enough. But then / never did hear
that it was commanded to every 'crit.
ter to preach the Gospel"
This was similar to the retort given
by another minister, in reply to one
who quoted the Scriptural assertion
that men are saved by the foolish
ness of preaching.
"True," said he, 'but not by fool
ish preaching, else had the world al
been saved long ago."

rHI IovID AND LOST.

A lady was riding some years since
through Connecticut, In her fathers
carriage, when they were brought to
n stop by woman coming from q
cottage, near to which they passed,
and beckoning to them. Drawing
the rein tight and stopping his horses,
Mr.. 7 waited her approach.
AS she came nearer, her face appeared
intelligent and very attractive, but
melancholy withal, and her eye was
restless and rowing, but o. she reached
the side OF the carriage, and laid her
hand on the window edge, she gaEed
with intense earnestness into the face
Of the lady, and asked, "Have you
seen my William anywhere?"
Startling rs the proximity Of de-
ranged person manifestly must have
been, tho lady had sufficient presence
Of mind TO assure her that she had
not seen William, and the poor watch.
or by the roadside turned away with
sigh.
Years had passed and the incident
was almost forgotten, when, O few
weeks ago, the same lady, now the
wife of lawyer in this city, was
riding through Fulton street, in Brook.
lyn, loud cry attracted her atten-
ton, and looking at the sidewalk, she
saw woman with streaming hair
and wild eye, running down the street
screaming, "Willyl Willy!" in q
voice that seemed. as she described it
to be, 50 unutterably mournful and
thrilling, that 1t must reach the ear
of him she called, unless that ear was
sealed in the silence Of death.
Was it the same person she had
met long ago in Connecticut2 and had
her poor wandering brain been
searching all these years for the boy
she loved, and searching all in vain9
Who was he, and where, on the broad
earth, had he kept himself out of the
reach of that wild lover She had
asked q million persons IL they had
seen him. She has called him in the
forest, in the crowded city, in the day
and the night, now hopefully, now
how mournfully, and always he an
swered not. Or was he perchance
beyond answering, and did the voice
reach him in that land whence might
he not reply to her, however much his
soul yearned for her? Mayhap, 80 it
be, and he strive hard-mayhap some
pleasant evening when she sits all
alone and murmurs his name in ac-
cents of unchanging affection, God
may grant him utterance in tones that
will reach her worn old heart, and
then, then-how will 1t springit back
through the lonesome years, and with
the freshness and beauty Of love, go
forth to meet him, or, as these lines
will in one day go further than she
can in a thousand, if William be any
where on the earth, and his conscience
tells him he is wandering from the
love he owes allegiance to, let him
know when he reads this, that there
is ringing all through the world, now
here, now there, q voice that is calling
him mournfnlly, but oh how loving.

embrace him. -
