remarkable instance of courage and pres
ence of mind was exhibited a few days ago by
a little girl, only eight years old, in Hardin
county, Illinois. In fit of jealous frenzy
the stepfather Of the child Shot her mother
through the heart with fowhng piece, and
made his escape through window. Reused
by the report, the little girl entered the room,
where the APPALLING spectacle of her dead
mother presented itself, the life blood yelling
up in profusion, whilst an infant lay quietly
in her arms. The little girls first impulse
was to rescue the babe, which would soon
have strangled in the blood, and with it in
her arms, and the two other children at her
side, she started for the house Of her aunt, a
distance Of nearly two miles, and reached
there before any Of the family were awake.
Here she related the tragic circumstances.

A horrible tragedy was enacted recently in
the little village of Eizabethtown, Illinois, A
grocery keeper was murdered and robbed, and
his dwelling set on fire to conceal the deed. The
citizens started in pursuit of the murderer,
whom they soon discovered, and hung him to
a tree. Not satisfied with this, they seized
his wife, who had been prowling about the
country, making herself acquainted with the
means and circumstances of the citizens, and
giving her information to gang of thieves
and garroters of whom her husband had
been member. She, also, was hanged, her
body cut down and thrown into the Cumber-
land, where it was found few days after
wards and buried by the authorities. Strange
to say, the verdict of the ooroner'ss jury was
found drowned, although the circumstances
were fully known to the coroner and the
jurymen.
The wretched woman was allowed one hour
found that her relentless custodians were in
deadly earnest, she gave utteranee to the fol-
lowing prayer, which bears impressive evil
dence of a tortured soul
Merciful God Blessed Jesus have been
wicked, bad woman. have committed so many
sins that cannot hope for pardon. These men
are about to take my life. they refuse to grant
one day or one hour of respite bow in penitence
before the God have so sinned against. I am
sorry for all that l have done. l would gladly
undo it all if had the power. When men are SO
malignant, will you, too oh God, frown upon
penitent mortal in distress My mother once
taught me Of Savior's love. When little child,
prayed upon mothers knee. Oh, if you would
only blot out all else, and take me as l was til l,
an innocent babe! am going, know not where.
| l can see nothing but black gulf in the future.
Though may deserve hell, let this earthly perse-
cution wipe away all my sins. | have been mser-
able all my days. While others have been happy
and contented have been wretched wanderer
aimless life. May God pardon my sins, and
receive my soul, is my first, last and only prayer.
