The Quakeress in the Forest.

How beautiful are these autumnal woods
The wilderness doth blossom like the rose
And change into garden of the Lord
How silent everywhere Alone and lost
Here in the forest, there comes over me
An inward awfulness. l recall the words
Ofthe apostle Paul: "In journeying often
Often in perils in the wilderness,
In WEAKNESS, in painfulness, in watchings
In hunger and thirst, in cold and naked
ness !"
And l forget my WEAKNESS and pain,
Ny watchings, and my hunger and my
thirst.
The Lord hath said he will seek his flock
In cloudy and dark days, and they shall
dwell
Securely in the wilderness, and sleep
Safe in the woods Whichever way l turn
come back with my face toward the town
Dimly I see it, and the sea beyond it.
> cruel town know what waits me there
And yet l must 90 back; for ever louder
[ hear the inward calling of the Spirit,
And must obey the voice. o woods tha
wear
Your golden crown of martyrdom, blood
stained,
From you l learn a lesson of submission,
And am obedient even unto death,
If God so wills it,

A HUNDRED YEARS IN PRIsON.-A

Gently made his appearance in his own
native province at the advanced age
of one hundred and twenty years, he
being about 20 years of age when the
sentence which condemned such a
dreadful punishment was passed
1t is difficult to conceive what the
feeling must have been with which he
returned, as soon s emancipated
from the shackles which had enthrall-
ed MIN for century, to breathe once
more the cherished air of the scenes
of his infancy Bo0rg, in the depart
ment of Ain, was his native home, but
time had so much changed the aspect
of the whole place, that he recognized
it only by the church in Brou, which
was the one thing which had under
gone no alteration. He had triumph
ed over laws, bondage, men, time, ev-
erything Not a relative had he left,
not single being could be had as an
acquaintance, yet he was not without
experiencing the homage and the re-
spect the French pay old age. For
himself he had forgotten every thing
connected with his early youth, even
all recollection of the crime for which
he had suffered was lost, or if it was
at all remembered it was a dreary
vision, contonnded with a thousand
dreary vi-j"na ol days gone by. His
family and connections for several
generations dead, himself a living
proof OF the clemency of heaven and
the severity of man, regretting, per-
haps, the very irons which had been
familiar to him, and half wishing him
self again among the wretched and
suffering beings with whom his fate
had been so long associated--well
might he be called the patriarch of
burglars.

A BEAUTIFUL ALLEGoRY.-Mr. Crit

man who had been indicted for cap
ital offence. tie closed his effort by
the following striking and beautiful
allegory:
When God in his eternal council
conceived the thought of mans crea.
tion, he called to him the three minis.
ters waiting constantly upon the throne
Justice, Truth ana Mercy, and thus
addressed them:
"Shall we make man ?" Then said JUS
tice, 30, God. make him not, for he will
trample upon Thy laws" Truth made
answer also, 40, God, make him not,
for he will polute Thy Sanctuaries.' y
But Mercy dropped upon her knees,
and looking up through her tears, ex-
claimed, 40, God, make him; will
watch over him with all my care thro'
the dark paths through which he may
have to tread.j' Then God made man
and said TO him; 20, man. thou art
the child of Mercy-go deal with thy
brothers"
The jury, when he had finished
were in tears, and against evidence
and what must have been their own
convictions, brought in verdict of
mot Guilty.

~ ga BARTON VERMONT, TUESDAY NOVEMBER 3. 1868

A CHAPTER OF HoRRoRs.-The de-
tails of a horrible deed of blood reach
ed US yesterday from Hawkins county.
The victim was j. G. Willis, himself
the murderer OF a man named Size
more, who fell from bullet from his
pistol about year ago, In the same
county.
Between this Willis and one Burt
on bad feeling had been growing
for some time, and they thirsted for
each others blood. At length the dev-
il favored their wish, and they met on
Sunday last, on the banks of the
Clinch river, a few miles east Of Rog-
ersville. Willis was half drunk, and
was on his way home from a distillery
in the hills, where he had been drink
ing and gambling for three or four
days. The other man, it was said,
was just leaving a religious gathering
in the woods.
They met in a lonely place; both
were mounted. The moment they
came in sight of each other-at a
sharp bend in the road-they were
not more than twenty yards apart,
and their horses were going at good
trot.
When they pulled up, the animals
heads touched each other.
They halted and let their bride
reins drop. Willis belt became loose,
aud his pistol dropped down on his
horses back. He partially turned
round to pick it up. when his assail-
ant fired and struck him in the side.
He fell, and when he came to the
ground, the horse which he was riding
turned and gallopped off, dragging
him considerable distance. His foot
caught in a projecting root. while the
other remained fixed in the stirrup. =
The violence of the jerk literally
wrenched his thigh bone from its sock
ct, while the saddle-girt broke, and
he was left on the ground groaning.
When the enemy rode up and dis
mounted, Willis saw the evil design
in his eye, and begged Of him to give
him d "espite to see his wife. But no
the black-hearted man was inexora
BILE. He would allow no respite, nor
even to utter short prayer, but
sternly told the man that be should
die. Willis impIored mercy, the blood
streaming from his side, and the ag
Ony of his torn limb working his face
into fearful contortions. He clasped
his hands together and begged mercy
but mercy was not there. The mon
ster deliberately put his pistol to the
almost diving mans forehead and shot
his brain, out. He then mounted hi:
horse and rode to a friends house. tC
whom he detailed the particulars of
the murder, took three or four drink;
of whiskey. aud then left. He has no
been heard from since. - NGShUlIt

A VICTIM OF DEsPoTIsM.-M An
dreoli, Russian writer who was ex-
lied some years ago to Siberia, is now
contributing to the ReUue Moderne,
under the title of sSouvenirs de Sibe-
ria" his recollections not only of ST.
berian but also of Russian life. In the
last number of the Revue he tells a
story, the end of which belongs to the
present reign, the beginning to the
reign of Paul, of whose period it is
strikingly characteristic. The Empe-
ror's favorite was at that time young
French actress, of whom he was mad
ly jealous. One evening at ball he
noticed that young man named La
banoff was paying her great deal of
attention. He did not lose his tenn
per, but at the end of the ball gave
orders that Labanoff should be ar
rested and thrown into the citadel
He only intended to keep him there a
few days "to make him more serious"
after which he proposed to reprimand
him and to appoint him to an Office
which had been solicited for him. La
banotf, however, was forgotten. "At
the death of Nicholas, Alexander H.,
then full of magnanimity, liberated
all the prisoners in the citadel, with
out exception. In a vaulted tomb in
which it was impossible to stand up
right, and which was not more than
two yards long, an old man was found
almost bent double, and incapable of
answering when spoken to. This was
Labanoff The emperor Paul had
been succeeded by the emperor Alex
ander l., and afterward by the empe-
ror Nicholas; he had been in the dun
geon more than fifty years. When he
was taken out he could not bear the
light, and by strange phenomenon,
his movements had become automatic.
He could hardly hold himself up, and
he had become so accustomed to move
about within the limits Of his narrow
cell that he could not take more than
two steps forward without turning
round, as though be had struck against
a wall, and taking two steps back
wards and so on alternately. He lived
