Tamzen Parsons, of Bedford, Cuyahoga
county, Ohio, was executed in the county
Jail In Cleveland, at seven minutes past one
o'clock, on Friday, the 9th inst. He had

1864. They were married on the following
day, and he was arrested on the 21st on the
charge of adultery and bigamy, was tried,
sentenced to the penitentiary for one year,
but was pardoned out in five or six months.

zen's fathers house on the Oath of July, for
the purpose of inducing her to live with him.

in Bedford village. On the 9th of August
he was arrested, - indicted, tried, convicted
and sentenced on the Both of December last
to suffer the extreme penalty of the law.
He made twenty minutes speech on the
scaffold, denouncing Moses as the greatest
murderer IN history, and his law not Gods
law. Heisald there was no sense In MUIR
dering hlm. He did not believe that Christ
was the son of God, Sc. He was killed in
stantly by the fall-six feet two inches. Not
a muscle moved in the act. Some two hun
dred persons were present in the Jail, and q
crowd OF perhaps thousand blocked up the
jail gates and filed the adjacent streets. The
body OF DR.. Hughes was taken in charge by
the Isle of Mona Society, and viii be given
decent burial Rev. Mr.. Thome acted as
the spiritual counsellor of DIR. Hughes, and
made very touching and eloquent prayer
upon the scaffold.

Deems, were executed on the same day in
Parkersburgh, West Virginia The ropes
broke on the first attempt. Both men again
mounted the scafold. Stronger ropes were
obtained, when they were hanged sepa-
rately.

Watching for Pa.

Three little forms in twilight gray,
Scanning the shadows across the way;
Six little eyes, four black and two blue,
Brimful Of love and happiness too.
Watching for pa
May with her placid and thoughtful brow,
Gentle face beaming with smiles Just now;
Willie, the rogue. so loving and gay,
Stealing sly kissss from sister May
Watching for pa.
Nellie, with rinelcts of sunny hue,
Costly nestled between the two,
Pressing her cheek to the window pane,
Wishing the absent one home again
Watching for pa.
0 now they gaze at the passers by!
"He's coming at last they" gal'y cry;
TRY again, my pets" excaims mamma,
And Nellie adds: 'There's the twilight star.
Watching for pa"
Jack mods and smiles as with busy feet
He lights the lamps OF their quiet street;
That sweet little group he knows full we'll,
May, and Willie, and golden-haired Nell.
Watching for pa
Soon joyous shouts from the window seat,
And eager patter of childish feet;
Gay musical chimes ring through the hall;
A manly voice responds to the call
''Welcome papa"

season, and a hint how to discriminate
between the edible and wholesome mush-
room and the poisonous fungi, will be Of
service. Mushrooms are very useful for
sauces and made dishes, but grea. care
must be taken in procuring the right sort.
Those are good hich grow upon commons,
but are liable to be mixed with bad ones;
therefore it is best 10 use those from the hot
beds. The upper part Of the right sort are
of a rcundish form, like button; the stalks
the under part, or gils, of fine pale red,,
but when broken, are worry white. When
they are left in the ground they grow very
large and the red changes to a very dark col
or. Whom they are small they are called
buttons, and are fit for picking; but, when
they grow large, they are called haps and are
put TO other uses. Those which are of size
between the buttols and flaps are f'lo usec
fresh. The bad sort, which are picked up
amongst those that grow naturally on the
common and in the field, are not 60 flat at
the top; the under part, or gill, is white,
instead Of fine red. II they are rubbed
with the fingers they turn yellow and when
piked are never white.

It is not your Business.

Would you like to know the secrets
OF fyour neighbor's house and life
How he lives OF how be doesn't,
And just how he treats his wife!
How he spends his time of leisure,
Whether sorrowful or gay,
And where he goes for pleasure
To the concert or the play?
If you wish I will tell you
Let me whisper to you sly.
II your neighbor is but civil.
1t is not your business WHY.
1u short, instead of prying
Iuto other folks affairs,
If you do your own but justice,
You will have no time for theirs.
Be attentive to such matters
AS concerns yourself alone,
And whatever fortune tlatters,
Let your business be your own,
One word by way of finis-
Let me whisper to you sly
If you wish TO be respected,
You should cease to be a PRY.
