On Saturday afternoon we visited this
unfortunate young man, in Gerish's bull
ding, and found him surrounded BY the
ministers of the various denominations in
this city. the Rev. Mr.. Kehler, DR.. Ran.
kin and Mr.. Allen. The scene was ono
Of solemnity and very affecting. Cor.
don's brother. boy perhaps IL years of
age. came up to bid adieu. They en-
brsced and the tsars and sobs melted the
heart.strings Of every ono present. On
his brother leaving he gave him . letter
for his thrss brothers and hoped they
would read it often-the purport Of which
was to guard them against ever taking
whiskey. The ministers held . short
service. and urged Gordon to ssek for.
givness Of God. He said be had done
so. and ww easy. He appeared resigned
to his fate. a7.L..f
Shortly after three o'clock, q large
body of citizens on horseback. and also
guard on foot, marched to Gsrrish's
building, and escortsd Gordon. who was
in . conveyance with Mr.. Middaugh, to

Fnto of Erring Beauty.

Not long ago, even American readers
may remember, the most admired woman
in Paris was the dame-de compton at Fras-
cati's, known as Ia belle LimonGdieye,
whose beauty set half the young men of
Paris crazy. Not only WAS the cafe con-
stantly full of persons attracted to see
her, but the Boulevard near was often
crowded. After a while she Disappeared
and it was given out that she was living
i'll grand style under the protection Of
some wealthy person. But after an
eclipse of some fifteen years she emerged
into light again, at the Office of the cor
rectional police, on charge of raising
money under false pretences. Her history
was briefly this: Her maiden name was
Jenny jackson; she married very young,
and her husband in taking her had no
other object than to speculate on her
beauty. He had paraded her in the Cafe
FraScati: but she felt humiIiated and OBJ
tained a separation from him. Then, un-
fortunately, she went astray; she tell in
with q great English nobleman, and he
spent millions of francs on her But nf-
ter a while she formed an attachment for
II student, and abandoned the nObleman to
join him. For him she sold her diamonds
and cachcmeres, and when she had moth
ing left lie abandoned her, giving her the
worthless obligation of 5O,0V0f. Reduced
to the lowest poverty at last, she tried to
raise money by passing herself OF as u
countess and the heir to large estates.

cola Abev on Snakes.

The following is one of Lincoln's illus
trations in speech delivered two years
ago. Speaking of the rights and wrongs
of slavery, he said:
''Thc other policy is one that squares
with the idea that slavery is wrong, and it
consists in doing everything that we ought
to do if it is wrong. Now don't wish to
be misunderstood, nor to leave gap down
to be misreprcsented. | don't say that we
ought to attack it where it exists. To me
it seems that if we were to form II govern
mcnt anew, in view of the actual presence
of slavery, we should find it necessary to
frame just such government rs our fltll-
ers did, giving to the shareholders the en-
tire control where the system is establish
ed, whilo we possessed the power to re-
strain it from going outside those limits
(Applause.) From the necessities of the
| case we should be compelled to form just
such n government as our blessed fathers
gave us: and surely, if they have so made
| it, that adds another reason why we should
let slavery alone where it exists.

That is ust the case! The new terri

Nation to say whether they shall have the

and the people did gather together from
Me four quarters of the EARTH and from

mighty multitude. Aud they did sing
Pehns to Abraham and tell wondrous
things of him. la8
~. And the followers of Stephen, and
Ethelr rulers and chief priests were sore
amazed, and said one to another. what
Eshall we do to lie saved? If this effort Er
not tcounteracted, Stephen is gone gosli.,.
8. And they said one to another, 10! the

they will no longer serve us, and full down

swhisky and strong drink shall flow, and
railroad rides shall be with out money oand
tssait price, for loI we can lay tribute
upon the State, and the State Treasurer,
is he not our treasurer, he shall foot the
bill: And the followers of Abraham they
shall tremble and be sore afraid.
10. Foralthough our first demonstration
was fzzle, this time "we fizzles nothing;
for Stephen pusseth this way in search Of
his ma, and verify he shall find her ere he

was greatly afraid that should the follow
ers of Abraham come into power, he
would be compelled to take daughter of
ETHIOPIA to his arms for wife, the thought
of which did greatly grieve him.
l3. And he did fall to abusing the
dwellers of Ethiopia, calling them niggers
and other such names, until he had SO dis
gnsted those whom he abused, that no
Ethiopian damsel, with proper degree of
self-respect, would marry him.

arose great contention in the land; and
many and divers men did ache to become
his successor when he should be gathered

we will have none but Abraham;thc Rail
Splitter, to rule over us. Lo! these many
years he hath mau!ed rails, now let him

). And others did shout aloud for
"Childc" Stephen-and he was called
Childe because of his great desire to ind
his mother-and they did wish for him as
ruler.
4 Aud others did proclaim for john Of
coal notoriety; and still others fora GER

long to the tribe of Fogie, and they did
