The DEATH OF RALEIGH.-His be-
havior on the scafold was what might
have been expected from the daunt-
less spirit which, of human emotions,
had never felt the sensation Of fear.
After vindicating his conduct in
manly and dighifed speech to the
spectators, he desired the headsman
to show him the axe, which not being
done at once, he said, al pray then
let me see it. Dost thou think that |
AIN afraid of it ?" After he had taken
it in his hand, he felt curiously along
the edge, and .hen smiliDglv remarked
to the sheriff: This is a sharp med
icine, but it is a physician for all dis
eases" After he had laid his head
on the block, he was requested to
turn it over on the other side $50
the heart be right" he replied, "it is
no matter which way the head lieth."
Alter forgiving the headsman, and
praying few moments, the signal was
made, which not being Immediately
followed by the stroke, Raleigh said
to the executioner: "Why dost thou
not strike? Strike, manT Two
strokes of the axe, under which his
frame did not shrink or move, severed
his head from his body. The immense
effnsion of blood, in man of sixty-six,
amazed everybody that saw it. "Who
would have thought" King James
might have said, with another distin-
guished ornament of the royal house
of Scotland, "that the old man had so
much blood in him p Yes, blood
enough in his veins, and thought
enough in his head, and heroism
enough in his soul, to have served En-
gland, for twenty years more, had fol-
ly and baseness not otherwise willed
it!-E. P. Whipple IN September At-

Grandmother.

Just as the sun rose blushing red
Over the hill-tops, somebody said,
In broken accents of mourning woe,
Sobbing aloud, but sobbing low;
Grandmother is dead r
When the sOrrowful murmur broke,
Out from our beautiful dreams we woke,
Feeling a sense Of terrible loss;
She was gold refined from its dross,
So somebody spoke.
Just as she sometimes sat IN neI u14..r.,
Lifting her heart in silent prayer,
Looked she; only purple mist
Her dropping lips and thin lips kissed,
And rested there.
Only yesterday, how she planned
LabOrs of love for her aged hand
Whenever my useful days are DER,
Let me go to the heavenly shore"
Was her demand.
Dear old grandmother! How her prayer
Quickened the ear of Eternal care!
And, with only warning pain,
His angel gathered her soul again
To those regions fair
Blessed is it for her to sleep;
Can it be wrong for us to weep?
We who loved her so we'll, and knew
All the worth of her loving, too,
And her wisdom deep.
She was aged, and knew the way
Youthful feet were inclined to stray;
"The young are giddy and dthey mustleal
Of hard experience ere they turn"
She would gently say.
Happy grandmother. Would that we
Might share with you the mystery
Of that beyond, where a thought of sin
Never, oh never can enter in
Through eternity.

A Woman's Question.
BY ADELAIDE A. PROCTER.

Before trust my fate to thee,
Or place my hand in thine,
Before let thy future give
Color and form to mine,
Before peril all for thee, question thy soul
tonight for me.
I break all slighter bonds, nor feel
A shadow of regret
Is there one link within the past
That holds thy spirit yet?
Or is thy faith as clear and free as that
which can pledge to thee?
Does there within thy dimest dreams
A possible future shine,
Wherein thy life could henceforth breathe
Untouched, unshared by mine?
Ifso, at any pain or cost, o tell me before
all is lost.
Look deeper still If thou canst feel
Within thy inmost soul
That thou hast kept portion back,
While | have staked the whole,
Let no false pity spare the blow, but IN
true mercy tell me so.
Is there within thy heart need
That mine cannot fulfill?
One chord that any other hand
Could better wake or still?
Speak NOVELIST at some future day my
whole life wither and decay.
Lives there within thy nature hid
The demon-spirit change,
Shedding passing glory still
On all things new and strange?
1t may not be thy fault alone-but shield
my heart against thine own.
Couldst thou withdraw thy hand one dBy
| And answer to my claim,
That Fate, and that tto-day's mistake
Not thOu-had been to blame?
Some 'soothe their conscience thus; but
thou wilt surely warn and save me now
Nay, answer mott dare not hear,
The words would come too late;
Yet / would spare thee all remorse,
So, comfort thee, my Fate
Whatever on my heart may fall, remember
would risk it all

A Remarkable Case of Crime.

A trial, which developed some sim
gular incidents, has lately closed in
the United States Circuit Court at
Cleveland, Ohio. The circumstances
are substantially these: In Decem-
ber, 1868, a young banker at Hudson,
Michigan, named William W. Tread
well, possessing large capital and a
high reputation for integrity and busi-
ness capacity, borrowed upward of
100000 from banks IN Cleveland, Chi
cago, Detroit, Adrian and Hillsboro,
and then absconded, taking his booty
in a black satchel. Nothing was
heard of him again till February 8,
1864, when he arrived at Mansfield
Ohio, under the assumed name OF q.
Clemmer. While there, Treadwell met
an old friend to whom he showed a
large amount of money, about 100000,
and said he intended to return to Hud-
son and pay his debts. On the eve-
ming of the 10th Treadwell's wife and
her father, named Samuel Hester, of
Centreville, Ohio, visited him at Mans
field with a small trunk. As the par
ty were on the way to the depot the
next day, Treadwell and his wife were
arrested and the trunk seized, but
Hester made off with the black satch-
ell. Treadwell was taken to Michi-
gan, tried, convicted and sentenced to
Jail. On the last day of the trial his
wife secretly gave him $4,000, and
that same evening he broke Jail, in
company with a horse thief named
Cowell, to whom he disclosed the
fact of having large sum of money.
After escaping from Jail Cowell MUIR
dered his companion in a piece of
woods and stole his watch and mon
ey. Long afterward wood chopper
discovered Trcadwell's body, which,
by series ofprovidential cireumstan-
ces, was identified and the murder
traced to Cowell, who was committed
in May, 1865 and executed i'll Sep
tember following, after confessing his
guilt. Samuel Hester, Treadwell's
father-in-law, who ran away with the
satchel at Mansfield, returned to his
home at Centreville, after various ad-
ventures, one of which led to an at
tempt to arrest him as thief, but
which he resisted with firearms. and
finally escaped because the sheriff,
when be saw him, decided that he was
not the right man. Soon after a wo-
man employed by Mrs. Hester discov-
cred Samuel Hester, Mrs. Treadwell
and Mrs. Hester counting a large
amount of money-"a peck measure
full" as she testified on the trial.
This led to the arrest of Samuel Hes
ter, and the trial which has just closed
Tb62Ee9d stat by TIE ahd Gle
plaintiff in the case obtained verdict
for S3S,500. The case affords anoth-
er illustration of the saying, 1.-The way
of the transgressor is hard" Tread
we'll was murdered, his murderer exc
Ecuted, and the father-in-law, who is
supposed to have prompted Treadwell
to commit the crime, is in the hands
of justice, and compelled to relin-
quish his ill-gotten wealth.

The SPIRITUAL MANA brother
came to Abbot Silvanus, in Mount ST.
mai, and found the brethren working,
and said, "Why labor you for the
meat which perisheth Mary chose
the good part. The Abbot said,
"Give him a book to read, and put him
in an empty CELL About the ninth
hour the brother looked out, to see
if he would be called to eat, and at
last came to the Abbot and asked,
"Do not the brethren eat to-day ?''
"Yes." "Then why was not called ?''
Then quoth Abbot Silvanus, "Thou
art a spiritual man, and needest not
their food, we are carnal, and must
eat because we work; but thou hast
chosen the better part" Whereat
the monk was ashamed.-Ihe Sunday
Library.
