SELF REsPECT-Tcach Il man to
think meanly and contomptibIy Of
himself, to cast off all sense of charac-
ter and all consciousness of 4 superior
nature, and moral persuasion can no
more act upon such man than if he
were dead. \ man may be addicted to
many vices, and yet there may be Il
hope of rcclaiming him. But the mo-
ment he loses all sense of character and
all consciousness of a superior nature
that is, the moment he begins to look
upon himself and his vices rs worthy Of
one another, that moment AL hope Of
reclaiming him perishes for the last
ground is surrendered on which it is
possible for his remaining good princi-
pies TO rally and make - stand. We
have often known men who have re-
tanned their self respect long after they
had lost their regard for principle; but
never one who retained his regard for
principle after he had lost his sefrc-
spect. Destroy this, and you destroy
everything; for man who does not
respect himself respects nothing.

How Il Man Feels when he Is Hung.

One would naturally suppose that a
man who had suffered all the horrors of
hanging, just short of actual death would
never risk the gallows again but such, in
one case at least was not the result A
house breaker named Smith was hanged
at Tyburn, December "a, 1905, and when
he had been hung nearly fifteen minutes,
the people shouted :" A reprievc :" He
was cut down, blcd, aud recovered. -
When asked what his feelings had been,
he replied in substance, that "when he
was turned off, he for some time was SEN
slblc OF very great pain, occasioned by
the weight Of his body, and felt his spir-
It's in strange commotion, violently
pressing upwards that having forced
their way to his head, he, as it were, saw
great blaze or ghring light. which
seemed to 20 out Of bis eyes with a flash,
and then he had lost all sense Of pain
Then, after he was cut down, and began
to come to himself, the blood and spirits
forcing themselves into their former
channels, put him, by sort Of pricking
or shooting, to such intolerablc pain that
he could have wished those hanged who
cut him down. Ever afterwards, no
went by the name Of i" half hanged
Smith, This fellow soon returned to
his former evil habits and was again tried
at the Old Bai'y for house breaking; and
thc jury brought in special verdict,
leaving the affair to the decision of the
twelve judges, who ioo;Iod in tho favor
Of the prisoner. Even this second won
derful escape did not deter him from re-
suming his malpractices, and third
time he was to have been brought to tri-
al, bat the prosecutor died before the
day appointed, and thus he once more
got free. Nothing is known of his sub.

" Right off. remarked the widow
"andly, please send for my bonnet and
out door apparel.
The necessary articles were sent for
and NJ. Brown, with his Intended hang
ing gracefully on his arm, started for the
residence of the pastor of the Boatman's y
Church, when the minister was about to
unite the couple in the bond, Of wcdlock,
each heard the Others name for he first
time. Every thing went on as merry as
'marriagc bell with the new married
couple all that day.
Next morning Brown awohc the
effects of the numerous drinks of the day
previous having now entirely worn of,
he began to reflect. He became serious.
He thought he was in rather bad
scrapc, out of employment in the middle
of winter, very little money, and a wife
depending on him for support. While
revolving the subject over in his mind,
and not being able to decide what hc
had better do--run off or commit suicide
his wife awokc. "Ny DEAR said she,
"have you any objection to collect few
bills -
He started, thinking that she sup.
posed he had some u',ncy coming to
him, and that she desired him to collect
little money for her benefit. and NUT
tered rather surl Y:
No have no objections to collcct-
inc money when there is any coming to
me.
81 don't mean that, my dear Get
up and go to the bureau drawer, and
there you will find bills to the amount of
five hundred dollars for rent due me for
the past month you will please collect
them and accept the money from me as Il
New Years gift.
Brown leaped from his bed, scarcely
believing his senses, that he distinctly
understood his wife, and then rush
