His Honor then said -
"Alonzo Malluns, the sentence of this
court is, that you be takon hence to the
place from whence you came, from thence
to the place of execution. and that you hang
by tho neck till you arc dead, and may the !
Lord have mercy on your soul -
The prisoner was borne from tho Court !
room by tho sheriff and his officers in n
state of insonsibility, and conveyed to his
cell in the prison, there to brood over his i'm
pending fate, without the slightest hope o. |
escape, innocent though he was of the crime |
of which he had been found guilty.
One month had passed since Alonzo Nal.
lens was sentenced to dio foions death
and it was the morning on which tho cxccu
ton was to take place Already largo crowd
had gathered outside the prison walls, to
witness the legal murder Of fellow being.
In the chapel of the prison was the condemn
ed, and his relatives among whom was his
wife, Fannie, now, alas too lato, truly pen.
! iiout for tho course she had pursued during
her former life The moment of separation
had come, the last embrace and kiss given
and received .andAlonzo Malcns was led forth
with his arms pinionod aud the fatal moose
about his neck tho scatiold was assembled;
tho ropo adjusted to the beam the last
prayer said; the prisoner had shaken hands
, with the exCcutioner; and-What meant
that sudden shout of
, "lIold hold, ho is innocent am the
} murderer as a man rushed forth from the
crowd and gives himself up as the murderer
of the man for whom AlOnzo has been con.
dcmncd.
Tho execution was stayed, and sufficient
evidence having bcon obtained to prove be-
yond doubt the guilt Of this new victim,
Alonzo was discharged from custody.
The lesson taught to Alouzo and Fannie,
by the trying ordeal through which they
had pass cd had been severe one, but the
|, conduct of both had been extremely bad.
and it needed some desperate measure to
bring them to a knowledge of their evil
course; aud the All-seoing God had sent
this trouble upon them, so that thereby He
) might bring them unto Himself.
, The reformation was complete. George
Talbot, so soon as Alouzo was discharged
D took him by the hand, induced him to be
conc thorough hater of Intoxicating IL
quors, and gave him situation in his owr
store; whilc, on tho other hand, Fannie
had become a willing pupil of tho gentle
= jennie, and had forsaken all her former
pleasures, seeking now only to reform past
= errors and make her husband happy.
: We'll and nobIy have they both succeeded
in their resolves, aud now the two sisters
occupy pretty cotrugcs, side by side, IN the
t outskirts of the city. George and Aonzo
= are partners in business, and when the bus
d mess of the day is over, the two familc:
n meet together in happy bonds of unison
+ and encourage each other with loving words
to continue in tho path OF rcctitude anl
h virtue to the end.

FOUND DEAD.

They found her dead,
One snowy morning, in the open street,
Her cold check resting on the pearly sheet
Around her spread,
And on her lips quiet smil, reposcd,
As If in sleep lilies weary dream had closed.
She slept the last. last sleep;
Deaths spnl was on her brow. and she had passed
Tired and suffering, to her home AT last,
Leaving no friends 10 weep,
No loving ones to come at sunset hours
10 sprinkle on her bosom tears and flowers.
No warm and gentle hand
Clasped hers in tenderness, ms in the night
She went out gently from this world OF light
Into the shadowy land;
No earthly watcher fingered at her side
To hear her last low murmur when she died.
But did she de nloncl
No not alone one friend kept watch with her
One gentle voice, one loving smile wus near
The desolatc unknown
One hand of mercy led Der DER Deaths ioam.
Into the better land, to friends and home.

We have no wings; we cannot sonr.
But we have lcot to scale and climb.
By slow degrees, Ivy more and more,
The cloudy submits Of our time.
The mighty pyramids of stone
That wedge.like cleave The desert airs,
When nearer seen and better known,
Are but gigantic flights of stairs.
The distant mountains that uprear
Their solid bas'iOns to the skies,
Are crossed with pathways, that appear
As VIC to higher levels rise.
The heights by great men reached and kept,
Were not attained by sudden fight.
But hey, while their companions slept,
Were toiling upward in the night.

1t was tho I0th of June. The day Alonzo
MalIuns was TO be tried by jury OF his coun-
trymen for wiiul murder. The Court room
was already crowded with spectators to wit
ness his trial. Twas nino o'clock, as the pr-
soner entered in company with the Sheriff
aud WAS arraigned before tho tribunal from
which he would depart, other us an innocent
man, or else back to his prison, condemn

the question
"AIonzo Malcns, you are charged with
the awful crime of wiIful murdcr-arc you

Not guilty T. were the scarcely audible
words which escaped from his lips.
Tho Attorney tor tho prosecution there
upon opened the case, briefly stating the
circumstances which led to the arrest OF the
prisoner; and then called Witnesses to prove
his absence from home on the night in qucs-
ton, and the fact of his having been seen
returning at an early hour in the morning,
pale, haggard, aud covered with mirc, iG the
direction Of tho murder, none of which cir
cumstances could be routed by tho prison
or. A very lengthy appeal was made in his
behalf by his late employers; his honesty his
sobrioty aud punctuality to business until
within the past fow months,aIl were brought
to bear upon the case, but circumstances
were against him.

How WOODrECKERS CAME INTO NORWAY.
In DascGut's Tales from tho Morse is this
legend OF u curious mCtamOrphoss -" In
those days when our Lord and st. Peter
wandered upon earth, they came to an old
wite's house. who sat baking. Her name
was Gertrude, and she had a red mutch on
her head They had walked a long way.
and were both hungry, and Our Lord begged
hard for a bannuck to stay their hunger.-
Yes, obey should have il. She took tiny
piece OF dough and rolled it out, but as sho
rolled it, it grew and grew until it covered
the whole griddc Nay, that was too big
they couldn't have that. She took timer
biz still but when il was rolled out, it COW
cred the whole gridde just tho same, and
that hammock was too big she said; they
couldn't have that either. The third timo
she took a still timer Git-so tiny you could
scarcely sec it; but it was the same story
over again-lhe bannock was too big
Well said Gertrude, can't give you
anything; you must go without; for these
bannocks arc too big" Then our Lord
waxed wroth, and said, "SInce you love no
So l;ttlo as to grudgc me IL morsel OF food,
you shall have this punishment. you shall
become d bird, and seek your food hetwcen
bark and holc ,aud never get drop tn dIink
save when it rains" He had scarce said tho
last word before she turned into great
black woodpeckor, or Gertruds's bird, and
! flew from her kneading-trough right up tho
chimney; and Til this very day you may
see her flying about. with her red mutch on
her head aud her body ak black, because OF
I the SCOT in the chimney and so she hacks
aud taps away~t the trees for her food. and
whistles when Ipin is coming, for she is ever
