TIE TRAITOR WHO WAS SHOT,
Twelve men were detailed to shoot the
traitor Johnston, who was executed on
Friday afternoon. Eleven Of the guns
were loaded with bah, and the twelfth
gun with e blank cartridge. No one
knew who had the gun with the blank
cartridge. The traitor was Of muscular
frame, cool, bold, and defiant. When
the word was given to FIRE the firing
party was about twenty PAGES from the
traitor. He never finched.
Three or four of the soldiers when
they fred did not aim at him. They
have been placed under arrest. At the
first fire, three balls took effect. The
traitor sat motionless for few seconds.
when he reeled over on his side and
kicked violently. Orders were then
given to load and fire, when three balls
passed through his head. killing him in
stantly. There were over twelve thou
sand soldiers present to witness the ex-
eculion. Johnson was native of Mis-

To LEr.-There are more things 'to
let than are placarded. Hearts are to
let every day; old hearts, stricken
hearts-all empty--all to let.
There are heads to let, to any new
ihing-to ism. ologies and lists, heads
without tenant.
There are hands to let. Hands
plump and fair; hands lean and brown.
Those to love, and these to labor; these
for rags, and those for rings.
There are consciences TO let; elastic
and accommodating, at five per cent. a
month, sixty per cent. year--to let
on bond and mortgage, and pound Of
flesh.
And so it goes from sods to souls; al
most everything to let; almost every
thing with given price; everything in
the market but griefs. They are never
quoted, never at a premium, never 'to
let.'

MIsERTEs OF GEETILITY.-1 once
lived next door to lady who belonged
to the class called sixties, or sristocra-
cy, but with a very limited income
She had two sons, officers in her Majes-
ty's service, and one daughter about
thirty-fve. This daughter has effectu-
ally shut the door against herself be-
coming a wife, mother, and mistress of
a family. But why? Why, because
she played the fool. I have been re-
peatedly asked. in the most pressing
manner, by the mother to cali and see
her daughter, Miss --t that she might
thank me viva voce for the little kind
acts. I did SO many times, always
stating the day and the precise hour
when she might expect visit. Gener-
ally found her on bed most scrupu-
lously well arranged, and in the act Of
drawing on a pair Of gloves, and ex-
claiming in low key. "oh. my dear
Mrs. -, how delighted l am to see
your sweet facel Oh, that I were able
TO run in and look at you! Ny mann
ma says you are one of the most indus
trious ladies in creation" Hear that
speechl and believe me if you can, that,
in the morning of that same day, / saw
this delicate lady at five O'Clock, vigor-
ously shaking heavy door mats, long
before the servant girls think of quit
ting the downey arms Of drowsy Nor
pheus. The fact is she is most active
lady-did nearly all of the work of
large house, and kept it in beautiful or
der, but thought it very ungenteel to
let any one know it. They kept one
young servant. but her Office was near
ly sinecure-merely to receive the
cards of genteel callers, or to usher
their owners up to the bedroom where
Miss - was suffering from spinal af-
lection. 1 have seen the same lady
lifted gently into bath chariot course
unable to walk. l have seen the same
person carried down her garden walk
and placed upon a chair-rain has come
suddenly on. when the poor invalid, has
taken to her heels and run along like a
hare. As for her appetite, it was about
that of small sized blackbird. 1t al
ways reminded me OF Beau Brummel,
who, when asked if he was fond Of
vegetables, replied with considerable
deliberation, 81 remember once to have
eaten a pea."- West SUSSEX Gazetis.
