flags on board the Caroline and Great

Hay had returned on board the Hawk,
which at once steamed away, when the

parallels, in Christian Germany only two
centuries ago. Men climbed up the glib

was not likely to fail. At Bruck, once

and inflicted on other districts the evils

to this fearful catalogue of distress was
the misery caused by vitiated currency,
resorted to by the various rulers to carry

asylum. The man had been long out Of

A SNAKE SToRY.-Here is snaka
story, located in Brazil, which rather
stakes down" everything of home man,
ufactures. 1t is well known that snakes
are fond of milk. There was once a
snake not exempt from this weakness Of
his fellow-rep;iles, which hit upon the
following ingenious expedient to crafty
its taste. 1t visited a room in which q
black nurse and her nursling slept, and
every night his snakeship would creep
into lbe bed, cunningly insert the tip OIL
its tail in to the baby's mouth to amuse
it and prevent its crying, while the hide
Gus reptile substituted itself for the infant,
which it thus deprived of its natural food,
the nurse sleeping on, unconscious of hav-
ing such a monstrous nursing.
This went on for some time, until
the infant, being thus cheated of half its
allowance of food, became so thin that
suspicion was excited, and an old negress
was set to watch the nurse at night-the
delinquent was caught in the act, and
expiated its offence with its life, while
the poor baby, being no longer kept on
"short commons" recovered IFS strength
and grew fine and fat as before.

The Burial of Jesus.


The burial of Jesus is replete with sug-
gestive incidents. The persons employed
were not our Lords relatives, the dis
ciples, or even his most intimate friends /;
but Joseph of Aramathea and Nicodemus,
both good ard great men among the Jews |;
before secret disciples, but now so en-
boldened. They we're both members of
the Sanhedrim, but were both, perhaps,
absent from the trial of Jesus, or else
were silent through fear of those who,
thrstng for his blood, cried out "Crucify
him, cruelty himIp "His blood be up
on us and our children" He who was
at first the weakest, at last became the
boldest while he who at first was the
boldest at last became the weakest
Joseph went openly and boldly and asked
for the body of Jesus, while Peter stood
"afar off"
The place where be was buried was a
garden, place of pleasure, yet into that
death entered. But how befitting the
place of his burial As be drank the
cup of sorrow in garden, so in garden

Joseph did not believe him criminal

believed that as he had said on the third
day he should rise again, be would do so,
and then it would be so sweet to pillow
his head and rest his weary limbs in the

The "DEAD LINE" AT ANDERSON
vILLE.--A writer in the New York
Evening Post. who passed through the
horrors of Andersonville, thus describes
the dead line the approach to.which,
often unconsciously, resulted in the shoot
ing of our men. They were shot under
the orders of the monster Wertz, for
whom some persons are trying to manu-
facture sympathy in the public mind to
affect bis trial. The writer says:
81 have heard much of what is termed
the dead line;' few, however, know what
is meant by it. After the completion of
the prison and its use, those confined
there we're accustomed to approach the
stockada and look thrnnph the openings
between the posts, or talk TO outsiders
After the assumption of command by
Major Wertz, he caused the prisoners to
be notified that if they approached with
in thirty feet Of the stockade they would
be shot by the guards upon the outside.
This limit of thirty feet was unmarked
by any line whatever; it was ideal, and
left TO the arbitrary determination of men
on guard, a majority of whom were as
incapable of judging of distances, or of
this distance OF thirty feet, as were the
poor prisoners who were doomed if they
transgressed it. The consequence was
that weekly, yes almost daily, the pris'
oners were shot down by the guards,
when these thought that they had trans
cended the imaginary line which separa-
ted thirty>seven thousand human beings
from eternity.
Upon one occasion, a prisoner who had
been confined there for more than year,
rendered desperate by hunger, want and
filth, perferring death to life so utterly
miserable, after writing last fond letter
to bis wife in Indiana, and bidding his
friends around him farewell, deliberately
advanced toward the side of the stockade,
and calmly received the we'll directed
shot of the sentinel, that released his soul
from torlures which be could not endure
and which his manhood sunk under.
The southeast corner of the interior OF
the stockade was the favorite spot for
this kind Of practice by the executors Of
Wertz's will for at this point the brook
or stream to which l have already re-
ferred entered the limits of the prison.
Here the water was less tainted and be-
fouled by the drainage of the bill, and
afforded a somewhat more pala:a5le
drink of course this point was sought in
preference to any other. But wo to the
unfortunate wretch who even reached
with his arm beyond the prescribed
bounds, to dip up cup Of better water
than the reeking current below him Of
fered A sentinel's bullet sent one more
spirit trembling to its God, while the
wretch's body lay prone and washing in
the very water that bis less fortunate
comrades must drink, until necessity
forced its removal. How many were
slain in this manner will never be known
until the records of a book uuscanned by
mortal eyes be made up in figures of liv-
ing light"
