receive him into his household, he de-
Olares his innocence, in his last breath,
in the exclamation, "1'm not guilty"
He was convicted, sentenced and suf-
fered death by means Of the strongest
of eircumstantiRl evidence. Fer weeks
previous to his execution, he was at
%tentive 70 the requests Of his spiritual
adviser, and on the last morning of
his sojourn upon this earth, showed
unmistakable signs Of his conversion
to the faith, and his firm reliance up
on the mediation Of the Saviour.
On taking leave o. his fellow-prison-
srs in the Marietta jail, he addressed
to them the following:
"BoyS, my thanks to you all. You
have been good friends of mine. God
knows your state: ! don't. / that
you may seek your God. You may be
unjustly dealt with, you may be pcrso-
cuted, condemned, and executed false
ly, but fyou trust in Him, all will be
we'll. For the last time 1 feel a desire
to pray with you. We may soon be
whore We won't have to part. God
bless you'll"
Aner the prisoners singing one Of
DIR. Watts best known hymns at Bum
gardeners request, he kRelt and offered
up the following prayer:
1--WE feel a desire, o God, in casting
ourselves together, to pray to Thee,
and to lay our faces before Thee. D.
God, Thou knowOst our many sins, our
thoughts, snd our intentions at this
special time. Wilt Thou, o God, como
down this morning and bless us. II
there IS any thing l have left undonO,
may Thou enable me to say 1t, and
enable me to know where l have done
wrong. Bless my ellow-prisoners, l
present them before Thee and ask Thee
to enable them TO forSakS their Sins,
and turn toward the Lord for saliva
ton. o God, wilt Thou comfort them
and enable them to turn to Thee, and
put their trust in Thee. D God, wilt
Thou enable me to leave o true record
behind, and face my doom with firm
ness and resignation. Bless the hu-
mar family. Enable US to meet whore
parting is known no more. May my
fellows be permitted to turn to God,
and place their hopes in Him.
Permit it me, in this my last hour
in these, my last few moments-toturn
to my Redesmer, and place my trust
in Him, for Gods sake. Amen"
he then took each Of the prisoners
by the hand and bade them farewell,
%entreating them to turn their thoughts

stay in one place an entire year. Nor
could he believe that it "was the will
OF the Lord that any congregation
should have one teacher only. We
have found" he writes, "by long ex-
perience, that frequent change of
teachers is best. This preacher has
one talent, that another. No one
whom | ever yet knew has all the
talents which are needful for begin
ming, and perfecting the whole con
gregation." an cit ther," he adds

" Didn't You Know 2"

Didn't you know' Well, then I will tell you,
Lady with cheeks of health's blooming glow,
There was tippling, worthless fellow
saw walking with you two Sundays ago.
Didn't you know that the only motive
He has in attending the church which you do,
Is simply to ridicule pastor and sermon,
And after-the pleasure of waiting on you?
Ah could you see him when at the bar pleading
CThe rum-seller's barr and the "lager" he sips
Boast of the infidel books he's been reading,
Mingle your name with the oaths on his lips;
Making his vulgar immodest quotations here
From authors whose names must not mention
Sandwiching them with alternate potations,
Of eighty-rod whiskey and Dutch lager beer.
True, he has intellect-all the more pity
Better by far if his talents were small;
Gifted and eloquent, brilliant and witty,
All the more fearful will be his sad fall;
Fall, too, he will, for your virtue and beauty
Cannot restore him-his manhood is gone;
Sunk in the wine-cup, ah, then it's your duty,
To see that in falling, he falls all alone.
Hard will his fate be, the fate of the fallen,
Hard it is even, in death or in life,
All, how much harder the ardurous calling,
OF living, yet dying, a tipplers wife.
Lady, I've warned you-beware of the scofer,
shun him as from contagion you'd go;
Heart he has none, if his hand he should offer,
Remember that short mOnosyllable "No."

BUTTER, CHEESE AND WOoL.-The

BUTTER, CHEESE AND WOoL.-The
well informed commercial editor of
the Boston Watchman and Reflector,
gives the following information con-
cerning the present and prospective
condition of the Market, as regards
Butter, Cheese and Wool:
The market is decidedly dull for
butter. We have no interest either
in the making or sale of butter, and
we aim to give the exact condition of
the market. We don't believe that
butter will ruleas high as it did last
year, because we think dairymen have
seen the folly of holding butter till
they are compelled to sell at grease
prices. That there was more butter
made the past season than was need
ed for consumption is abundantly
proved by the fact that hundreds and
hundreds of tons were sold at Is to
20c per Id. Unless there is a de-
mand for butter abroad, dairymen
will make mistake in holding; for
although we expect a larger South
ern demand than we had last year,
Yet the supply is likely to exceed the
wants of the trade.
1t looks now as though the demand
for cheese abroad would be fully
equal to last year. The ravages of
the cattle plague have been fearful,
and in many of the best cheese-mak-
ing districts, as in Cheshire for in
stance, nearly one-fourth of the cattle
have died. The depressed condition
of the laboring classes will doubtless
have some effect on consumption, but
there is no reason to expect small
er demand than there was the past
year.
The stock of wool in all the sea-
board markets is very light, and as
there is comparatively none to come
forward everything will be cleaned
up by the last of June. Should this
opinion prove correct we do not see
but what manufacturers will be OBJ
liged to stop, for want of material,
unless the new clip at the West can
be moved at satisfactory prices
That there will be more than usual
caution manifested in buying the pre-
sent season is beyond doubt. The
manufacturers have not made so much
money the past season as to enable
them to buy dirt for wool, and a very
liberal discount will be demand on ILL
conditioned wool.

HAVING A COOP TME.-The Pen
insula Herald has the following good
turn on a common expression by the
.opposers of Temperance orders:
"Some of the enemies of our Order
think themselves cute and shrewd, il
saying the young people join the
Good TemplarS to have a good time.
And those who say so are sharp and
cute, though unaware of it. What
they intend as a sneer, is a veritable
fact. Not only the young people, but
also the older people have a good
time in the Lodge. 1t is organized
for that very purpose. Our foes GER
tainly do not expect that we meet to
have bad time. Goodness is oul
object, doing good our. aim, and all
actuated thus have a good time al
the time. Some people are SO mean
and selfish and miserable, that they
cannot bear to see others happy
They should brush up little, and If
possible get into the Lodge, and they
may have a good time too."

The DEAD OF THE MEDITERR sNEAN.

The DEAD OF THE MEDTTERR eNEAN.
The whole channel of the Mediter-
ranean must be strewn with human
bones. Carthagenians, Syrians, Sido-
mans, Egyptians. Persians, Romans,
and Greeks-there they lie, side by
side, beneath the eternal waters, and
the modern ship that brings freight
from the Alexandria, sails in its whole
course over buried nations. 1t may
be the corruption of the dead, that
adds that brightness to the phospho-
rescnce of the waves. The orientals
have superstition on this subject,
which represents the spirits of the
departed as lowering, whether on
land or water, over the spot where the
ruins of their earthly tenements are
found; so that in blowing the Medi-
terranean, we sail through armies Of
ghosts, more multitudinous than the
waves. These patient spirits some:
times ride on the foam, and others
repose in those delicious little hollows
which look like excavated emeralds
between the crests of the waves 1t
is their armies and thronging togeth-
er, they believe, that constitute the
phosphoresence of the sea wherever
there is light; and the billows flash
with the luminousness of vanished
generations, that concentrate, as it
were, the starlight on their wings.
