After 90 hours qaarreihng, ana glomg.

proceeded On tneir way dorn INTO the IN head
OF iarrow, ana there saw, IN tne solitude,

proceeded 70 ges some refresnment, ana ripe
Tor any Outrage that any oeoasion might
suggest. The old man and hls wife hearing,
tumuit OF many volces ana many feef,
came out, and were immediately saluted
With many opPfobrious ePithets. The hut
wss soon rified o. any smsii articles OF wear
ing apparel, and Ssmuel, without emotion,
81 before them whatever provisione he had,
butter cheese, bread and miik-and hoped
they would mot be too hard upon old people,
Who were desirous OF dying % they had
ivcd, IN peace. Thankful were they both
N their parental hearts that their litsie La
has was among the hills; and the Old man
trusted, that It she returned before the SOL
diers were gone, che would see from some
distance their muskets on the green before

i The soldiers devoured their repast with
many oaths, and much hideous and obscene
language, which It was sore agsinst the old
mans soul TO hear ID his owr, hut: but he
said nothing, for that would have been will
fully 70 sacrifice his life. At last one of
the party ordered him TO return thanks in
words impious and full Of blasphemy. which
Samuel calmly refused to do, besseching
them, at the same time, for the sake Of their
own souls, not 20 to offend their crest and
bountiful Prescrver. tsConfound the old
Covenanter, 1 viii prick him with my bayo-
onet If he Won't ssy frace;" and the blood
triekled down the old mans cheek, from
slight wound on his forehead. The sight Of
IL seemed to awaken the dormant blood
thirstiness in tho tiger heart Of the soldier,
who now swore, If the old man did, not, in
+stantly repeat the words after him, be would
tshoot him dead. And, AZ II cruelty were
CONTAGIOUS, almost the whole party agreed
that the demand was but Reasonable, and
that the old hypocritieal kpaye must preach
or perish. ssDamn him. - cried one Of them
in a fury, "here il the Word Of God, .
great musty Bible, sinking Of greasy black
leather worse than whole lanyard. II he
won't speak, 1 will gag him vengeance.
fIsrs, 0fd Mf: Pedeh, the prophet, let me
cram q Few chapters OF St. Luke down
your NAV. st. Luke was . physician, l
believe. Well, here is dose OF him.
Open your jaws" And with these words
he tore handful OF leaves out OF the Bible,
and advanced towards the old man, from
whose face his terrified wife was now wiping
ION the blood. o.s.f . ,.,,.I ..1t .,,..,. Ia
Samuel Grieve was nearly fourscore, but
his sinew. were not yet relaxed, and in his
younger days, he had been . man OF great
strength: When, therefore, the soldier
grasped him BY the neck, the sense OF re-
ceiying an indignity from such slave made
his blood boil, and, as il his youth had been
renewed, the gray-headed man, with one
blow, felied the rundan to the hoor: ssg55
That blow sealed his doom, There was
nerce tu%ult ana yelling lof wrsthful
voices, and Samuel Grieve was led out to
die. He had witnessed such butchesy Of
others-and felt that the hour OF his mar
tyrdom was come. "As thou did:t reproye
simon Peter in the garden, when ne smote
the High Priests servant, and saidst, The
cup which my Father had gwen me, shall
not drink it?' SO now, my Kedeemer, DO
thou pardon me, thy frali and erring fol-
lower, and enable me to drink this cup
With these words, the old man knelt down
unbidden; and after one solemn look to
Heaven, closed his eyes, and folded his
hands across his breast. sY1ry T. .fa.
His wife now came forward and knelt
down beside the OLD man. Let 10 dle TO-
