Conservation.

A writer in The Providence Post says
that in Napoleon's day, we believe, if out of
800 men 300 were wanted in the army, the
500 names were thrown into the ''fateful"
wheel, and 300 were drawn to 60 and the
remaining 200 were elected to stay at home
for the same period that the others went.
And why should t tiey not for they took an
in these ''wiser' days, if a person is SO for
tunate as to get clear of being drawn out,
why upon the next requisition of the Presi-
dent for more men, his name is uncere-
moniously hustled into the box again, and
another draft he must stand; and SO on un-
til his chance not to 60 grows slim, indeed.
The truth is Napoleon was only Emperor,
and not an aspirant for the Presidency, his
necessities, therefore, not SO pressing.

A Chinese Crucifxion.

The following account Of recent crueifx-
ton in China, interesting, because to those
mentioned in Scripture, is by Mr.. James
Jones, of Annoy, who witnessed the execution
on the 18th of October
The victim was a we'll known thief, whose
principal offence was that of stealing young
girls and selling them for prostitutes. On his
trial before his judge, he refused to crimi-
mate himself although repeatedly scourged
until his back was raw. Ifa female witness
fails in giving satisfactory evidence in a
court of justice, she is beaten with leather
strap across the mouth. His wife desirous
of sparing her husband refused to give evil
dence, but after two or three applications of
strap, her courage gave way. She confessed
his guilt, at the same time admitting that two
hundred dollars of the money so derived was
hidden in the sea near the beach. Officers
were sent to search, and finding the dollars
in the place indicated the prisoner was SEN
fenced to aptaition-deemed by the Chi
nese the most severe observation-disclosures
they imagine that if a man leaves this world
minus any of his members, he appears in the
same condition in the next, the culprit there
fore prayed to be crucifed instead of being
beheaded.
The cross was of the Latin form, the foot
being inserted in a stout plank, and.the GRIM
inal, standing on board, had nails driven
through his feet, his hands stretched and
nailed to the crossbeam. His legs were fast
ened to the cross with an iron chain, and his
arms bound with cords, and on the cord
round his waist was inserted piece of wood
on which was written his name and offcnse
a similar piece on his right arm contained
his sentenee-namely to remain on the cross
day and night until he died another on his
left arm had the name of the judge with his
titles and offices. The criminal was nailed to
the cross inside the Yamun in the presence
of the magistrate, and then carried by four
coolies to one of the principal thoroug ughfares
leading from the city, where he was left du-
ring the day, but removed at night inside
the prison for fear of his friends attempting
to rescue him, and again carried forth at day
light in charge of two soldiers. He was cru
cited at noon on Wednesday, and Mr..
Jones conversed with him at five in the
evening. He complained of pain in the chest,
and thirst. On Thursday he slept for some
hours when the cross was laid down within
the goal compound No one was allowed to
supply him with food or drink and during
the day there was quite fair in front of the
cross, people being attracted from distance
and the sweetmeat vendors driving large
trade. On Saturday he was still alive, when
the TaOtai was appealed to by foreigner to
put an end to the wretch's suferings, and he
Immediately gave orders that vinegar should
be administered, which he expected would
produce immediate death, but the result was
otherwise, and at sunset when the cross was
taken within the goal, two sold ers with stout
bamboos broke both his legs, and then stra1-
gled him.

Young Again.

An old man sits in his high backed chair
Before An open door,
While the sun of a Summer afternoon
Pals hot across the floor,
And the droWsy click of an ancient clock
Has notched the hour of four.
A breeze blows in and breeze blows out,
From the summer-scented air,
And it fiutters now, on his wrinkled brow,
And now it lifts his hair,
And the leaden lids of his eyes drop down,
As he sleeps in his high backed chair.
The old man sleeps, and the old man dreams,
His head sinks down on his breast
His hands relax their feeble hold,
And fall TO his lap ia rest;
The old man sleeps, aud in sleep he dreams,
And in dreams again is blest.
The years unroll their dreSry scroll
He is a child again
His mothers tones are in his ear,
And drift across his brain,
And he chases the gaudy butterflies
Across the grassy plain.
He plucks the wild rose in the woods,
And wreaths of eglantine,
And holds the yellow buttercup
Beneath his sisters chin,
And angles in the meadow brook
With a bent and naked pin.
He loiters down the grassy lane,
And by the brimming pool,
And sigh escapes his parted lips,
As he hears the bell for school;
And he wishes it never were nine o'clock,
And the morning never were full
His mothers hand is on his head,
Her kiss is on his brow
That summer breeze blows in at the door,
With the toss of a leafy bough,
And the boy is white-haired man again
But his eyes are tear filled now.

PRIDE.-There is no virtue in the pride

that admirable treatise, "have been per-

approach of any creature that wore human
shape; on the contrary, from my earliest
youth, it has been my pride to converse fa-
miliarly, with all human beings-man, wo-

my way, practice which is friendly to the
knowledge of human nature, to good feel
