wAsHINGToN's FAMILY BIBLE.


The agent of the Nashville Baptist Soci-
ETY., Mr.. R. M. Hawkins, has recently been
distributing Bibles in Macon county, Ten
nessee, and while travelling through the
country, met with the old family Bible
that found place in General Washington's
chamber. Mr.. Hawkins says: Il took it
in my hand and examined it carefully; af.
ter which I read the 10Th Psalm in family
worship. I then asked the brother to tell
me how he came in possession of it. He
said at the Generals death, niece fell
heir to the Bible. Previous to leaving
Virginia her son was taken sick and died.
He waited on him until his death. The
old lady told him that she was oldand must
soon die, and that she had nothing to give
him for waiting on her son save the old
family Bible. He gladly received it and
brought it to Tennessee with him on horse
back. He told me that he would not take
three thousand dollars for it. The gentle.
man lives in Lafayette, Macon county; his
name is Claiborne. You cannot imagine
how I felt when turning over its leaves.
1 really felt and thought that had founda
precious jewel. 1t appeared to me that !
would have given any price for it.'-West-

body, near the back bone, congresses it,

ambition. To do this, I must be good,

BY MRS. NJ. RITCHIE.
CHAPTER Nv.

Stretched upon an humble pallet in q
low built room apparently. designed from
its strong foundation, as place of security
for the better sort of prisoners, lay the wo-
man, over whom Sir Robert Anstruther
designed to exercise control. She was
coarsely attired, and her ghastly features,
cold and clammy with the dews of death,
bore the impress that the inexorable hand
of the king of terrors pressed heavily on
her heart, freezing the current which pro-
longed existence. The restless rolling of
her eye with peculiar triumph in her
frenzy, told plainly there was method in
her madness although the hysterical sobs,
like the last gusts of a subsiding tempest,
announced that the calm of dissolution was
rapidly approaching. The only light found
its way from small grated window in the
thick stone wall, and was just sufficient to
give double dreariness, as the pale rays
Aickered in indistinct forms about the a.
partment
The Laird and his attendant entered, and
the former stepped just within the door,
whilst Ronald informed the wretched fe-
male of his presence.
sRaise me up ? she cried vehemently; /;
and as Ronald complied with her request,
by placing pillows around her for support,
she went on. The Laird-is he-the
good Sir Walter? No, no! she said, fix
ing her eyes upon Anstruther. Il know
you now-monster, depart where is my
husband ?-where your brother ?-where
your sainted wife p
peace, wretch, peace! have dagger
here,' exclaimed Sir Robert, grasping the
instrument of destruction beneath his plaid.
'Daggerp she screamed, harshly. Il de-
fy it. Here strike upon bosom, wild as
the lightning blasted heath for your &C.
cursed wiles have already blighted every
hope. Monster, you are hatefulin the eyes
of heavenv
Sir Robert trembled with ungovernable
rage; he lifted the dirk in his hand, and
seemed about to spring with fury on his
defenceless victim, that he might make the
blow more sure. But Ronald held him
back, saying,
sForbear, Sir and do not imbrue your
hands wautouly in fellow creatures blood.
Remember what you wish to learn, for the
stroke of death is even now upon her.
sNay, nay,' responded the woman, do not
stop him. This vault must speak torments
to his guilty soul, for here has perished
many victim to his hate! But, Oh my
boy, my boy still lives ? she shouted with
frenzy, and struggling with return of in-
coherent laughter.
clustered be the tongue that uttered it,
muttered Sir Robert. A thousand curses
on your head and but for the desire Of
knowing more, would cut short the frail
thread that binds you to earth g
sStop, she said. Laird, l will tell you all
and fix leech upon your conscience that
shall suck its venom out Again, she raved
wildly and brandished her hands over her
head in an attitude of defence
sFool,' uttered the chief, impetuously
did he not perish by disease?'
NO! he escaped the contagion, and was
rescued from the token of affection, sent by
fond uncle to hurry his departure; foI
Oh! I snatched him from the very jaws
