Burning a Negro at the Stake Dreadful
Particulars

A correspondent of the Maysvile Eaglc,
gives the follgyingparticulars ofthe recent
burning of negro at Troy, Kentucky, for
the murder of his master:
On New Years day the annual negro
sales took place at Troy, the county seat,
and there was quitea collection of people
there : everything went on smoothly until
about 3 o'clock in the evening, when Mr..
Jas. Galway, brothor-in-law of the de-
ceased, mounted upon an old goods-box be-
fore the store-door, and addressed the peo.
pie for about fifteen minutes. He said if
the mass of the people felt as he did, and
would do their dnsy, which he believed
they would, that they would take the black
murderer out of Jail and burn him at the
stake, In the presence of all the negroes
thnt were there to set an example before
them, aud then wbet wilT be tile result Of
al such conduct if yhcrctshou!d eyer be
such again. Then he closed by saying,
'elAll that feel as do. will follow me
He then lcaped from thestand, and there
was a general shout giveny and he led the
way to the jail, and nine.teptllsof the inul.
titude followed On arriving nttbc jail
they found the shcriffand jalor, who did
all they could 10 suppress the mob, butalI

a youth Ttmnid ono winter night,
Wcre slt..n3 in tho corner;
His name, we're told, was Joshua White,
And hers was Patience WAGNER.
Not much tho pretty maiden said
Beside the young man sitting;
Her cheeks were finished rosy red,
Her eyes bent on her knitting.
Nor could lie guess what thoughts ofhin
We're to her bosom focking,
As her fair fingers, swift and slim
Flew round and round the stocking.
While, rs for Joshua, bashful youth
His words grew few and fewer;
Though all the time, to tell the truth,
His chair edged nearer to her.
Meantime her ball of yarn gave out,
She knit so fast and steady;
And he must give his aid, no doubt,
To get another ready.
He held the skcin; of course the thread
Got tangled, snarled and twisted;
Have Paticncc!'' cried the artless maid,
To him who her assisted.
Good chance was this for tongue-ticd chur
TO shorten all palavcr;
" Have Paticnce" cried he, 'dearest girl
And may really have herr"
The decd was done no more, that night,
Clicked needless in the corner;
And she is Mrs. Joshua White

a chance, and thus end the trouble"
"If you say dc so, l will, replied the
credulous old lady.
Soon ufter this the hag started for homo,
and madeit convenient to meet Mr. Il. or
the way Much the Same talk in relation
( to his domestic happiness, passed between
them as did between the old woman.
But, friend Blucford," said she, "T
think it my duty as Christian, to warn
you to be on your guard, for | tell you, that
your wife intends your ruin"
Old Mr. B. was very mnch astonshed,
yet he could not wholly discrcdit her words.
When he reached home he threw himself
upon the bed in great perplexity, and
feigning sleep, studied over the matter in
his own mind. His wife thinking this a
good opportunity for cutting off the obnox-
ious hair took her husband $ razor and crept
softly TO his side Now the old lady was
very much frightened at holding a razor so
close to her husbands neck, and her hand
was not so steady as it once was; so, be-
tween the two, she went to work very awk-
ardly and pulled tue hairs instead of cut
ting them off Mr. B. opened his eyes and
there stood his wife with razor at his
throat After what had been told him,
and seeing this, lie could not doubt that
she intended to murder him. He sprang
from the bed in horror, and no explanation
or entreaty could convince him to the CON
trary SO, from that time forth, there
was no more peace for that house. 1t was
jaw. jaw, quarrel and wrangling all the time
With delight the Devil heard of the sue
cess of the faithful emissary, and sent her
word that if she would meet him at the end
of the lawn, at a certain time, he would pay
her the shoes.
At the appointed time, she repaired to
the spot and found the devil at the place.
He put the shoes on the end of long pole,
and standing on the opposite side of the
fence, handed them over to her She was
very much pleased with them, they were
exactly the article.
But there is one thing, Mr.. Devil, that
| would like to- have explained: that is,
why you hand them to me on that stick ?"
Very easy toeXplain," replied he, "any
one who has the cunningness and meanness
to do as you have done, don't get nearer
than twenty feet of me !" So saying, lie
fed in terror
After a while the old woman died, and
hiiSh SilS hppllCu lOI dQullbldlCc 10 IuC
lQSyer eAeions, the Devil would not let her
il.sf a fear she might dethronc him,
WAS SO much his superior. So the
efdlSSonian is yet compelled to wander over
f|sFse Af6Sld, creating quorrcls and strife in
| Peaceful families and neighborhoods.
Would you know her name2
It's Madam Scandal When she died,
her children, the young Scandalzcrs, were
left orphans, but the Devil, in considcra-
ton of past service done by tho mother,
adopted them, and so you see he is the faith
cr of that respectable class called scandal
