ful scenes n this terrible drama. When
once upon the scadold, and hs ankles being
bouod together the usual white cop was
produced, and he was informed that it was
necessary to pot it on his head. To this
White objected, insisting that DO change

little felt cap with which he had covered his
bead from his first imprisonment. When the
sheriff removed the felt cap, and was about
substituting the usual white one, the prisoner
again objected, and, with fearful impfecations.

riff Black, in decided tone, endeavored to
persuade the prisoner, but in vain. For

was the demoniac character OF the prisoner

the officers from putting On the white cover.

fought with desperation. he snapped and
bit at their fingers, be leaped into the ai', he
crouched toward the ground, and Tor some
time il seemed doubtful whether be could be
compelled TO submit
Alter a severe and protracted struggle the
cap was thrown upon bis head and securely
adjusted about his face and the strings drawn
aroung his neck Nothing now remained OF
the dlreful preparations but to put the rope
around bis neck and adjust the fatal Doose.
With some difficulty this was at length
accomplished, the united efforts OF four men
being required for this purpose. As the
sheriff drew the fetal moose closer to its place
and placed the knot beneath the ear OF the
uuhsppy man, be exclaimed with fearful
iwp wprecations, "W hat 10 h--ll are you choking
me now for lyon are choking me, for can

the wretcbed man. The sheriff gave the
signal that all was ready to his deputy, Mr..
Schultz; in a moment the trigger was drawn
the drop fell, and that unhappy man so lately
struggling with such desperate fury, so lately
busy with his tsrrible efforts to defeat the
vengeance Of the law, fell like lead through
the draw and hung, slightly oscillating, q
struggling, violent human being no longer.

COMMERCIAL VALUE OF INSECTS. Who
thinks of ii? And yet 10 the economy of
nature, OF what immense importance they are
in oil seasons, every naturalist knows, while
10 commerce the adcount derived from them
is astounding. We have no figures to pro.
duce in regard to our own trade, for the
statistics do not yet reach that state of
perfection which will admit of it, bot Great
Britain pays annually $1,000 00c for the dried
carcasses of that tiny insect known as the
cochineal; while another, also peculiar to
India, gun shellsc, or rather its production,
is scarcely less valuable. More than 100000
humon beings derive their sole support from
the culture and manufacture OF the fbres
spun by the skworm of which the annual
circulating medium is said to be 5000 0e0, 900.
10 England alone, to say nothing of the other
parts OF Europe, $500 900 is spent every year
in the purchase Of foreign honey, while the
value OF that which is native is not mentioned !;
and all this is the work of the bee but this
makes redemption of 10000 pounds Of wax
imported every year.

OUR SECRET DRAWER.

There is secret drawer in every heart,
Where we lay our treasures one by Que (;
Each dear remembrance Of the buried pust ;
Each cherished relic of the time that's
gone;
The old delights of childhood long ago;
The things we loved, because we knew
them best.
The first discovered primrose 10 our path
The cuck0o's earliest note the robbins
nest
The merry bay makings around our home
Our rsmbes in the sumner woods and
lanes
The story told beside the winter fire,
While the wind moaned across the window
panes;
The golden dreams we're dresmt in after
years;
Those magic visions of our young ro
nance
The sunny hooks, the fountains and the
flowers,
Gliding the fairy landscape of our trance ;
The link which binds us later still to one
Who fills corner 10 our life to day,
Without whose love we dare rot dream how
dark
The rest would seem, if it we're gone
away;
The song that thrilled our souls with very
joy;
The gentle word that unexpected came;
The gift we priced, because the thought was
kind
The thonsand, thousand things that have
no name.
All these 10 some far hidden corner lp
Within the mystery of that secret drawer
Whose magic springs, though stranger hands
may touch,
Yet none may gaze upon its guarded store.
