man who neglects them is in great

preaching, teaching, speaking, and
working public works is unques-

untoward consequences. Wemust
take time for sitting down and calm

how matters stand between our

A COMMERCIAL VIEW OF THE
CRops.-The Cincinnati Price Cur
rent of the 1st instant thus speaks
ofthe wheat harvest and other
crops:-+ - t-A.a 49, = -
Wheat, has been harvested pret-
ty generally, in all the States
south of-the Ohio river, and also
in the southern portion of Illinois.
The yield is not very heavy,
but the quality is pretty gen.
orally highly spoken of. In por-
tions of Indiana the weeyil has
been doing considerable damage,
but this does not extend over
a large district. The accounts
from the entire Union, with an ex-
ception here and there, as regards
the crops are generally favorable
more generally 50 than has been
the case for many years. The in
dications, of an abundant corn
crop are quite favorable, and should
this be the case, a large in crease in
the pork crop may be looked for
the coming season, because the
supply Of stock hogs will be un-
usually large; for not only was
the supply left over from last
season large, farmers not having
fatted them because Of the high
price of corn and tie comparative
low price of pork, but theincrease
since then has been liberal, so that
| the pumber now in the Western
States, it will be seen, must be un-
Usually large.

A Curl Cut OF With An Axe.

A Curl Cut OF With An Axe.
"Do you see this lock. Of hair ?"
said the old man to me.
"Yes; but what of it? 1t is, !
suppose, the curl from the head Of
q dear child long since gone to
heaven.
"It is not /; it is curl ofmy own
hair, and it is now nearly seventy
years since it was cut from this
head"
"But why do you prize a lock
of your own hair SO much 2"
"It has a story belonging to- it,
and a strange one. I keep it thus
with care because it speaks to me
more of God and His especial care
than anything I possess.
r ''I was a little child Of four
years old, with long curly locks,
which in sun, or rain, or wind,
hung down my cheeks uncovered.
One day my father went into
the woods to cut up a log, and I
went with him. I was standing a
little way behind, or rather at bis
side, watching with interest the
strokes of the heavy axe, as it
went up and came down upon the
weod; sending off splinters with
every stroke in all directions. .
"Some of the splinters fell at my
feet, aud I eagerly stopped to pick
them up. In doing 50 I stumbled
forward, and in moment my curly
head lay upon the log. I had fal'
len just at the moment when the
axe was coming down with all its
force. = -
'sIt was too late to stop the
blow. Down came. the axe. /
screamed, and my father fell: to
the ground in terror. He could
not stay the stroke, and in the
blindness which the sudden hor-
ror caused. be thought he. had
had tkttteu MS uuy. ~

fright and he from his terror. He
caught me in his arms and looked
at me from head to foot, to find
out the deadly wound he was
sare he bad inflicted. e..-~.::- :

was to be seen.

gave thaks:
"Having done SO, he took up
the axe and found a few hairs upon
the edge. BE turned to the log
he had been splitting, and there
was a single curl of his boys hair,
sharply cut through and laid upon
the wood. : ..-.:.,
aHow great the escape +.
'tIt was as if an angel had tur-
ned aside the edge at the me-
ment when it was descending on
my head. With renewed thanks
upon his lips, he took up the curl,
and went home with me in his
arms. > 49,. -. =

Terrible Scene at an Execu-
ton. -.

+ ton. .
A horrible spectacle was pre-
sented in Salisbury, North Carroll,
ma, on Friday, the 26th ult., at
the execution of Rufus Ludwig,
for the murder of his wife, after
being married to her only eleven
days: -
He smoked a cigar on his way
to the seafold, and seemed not to
care for the fate that awaited
him. In the midst Of the prayer
he called on one of the crowd for
a chew of tobacco, which he took
and put in. his mouth. After a
hymn: had been sung, Ludwig
arose to makes a speech, and ram
bled on disconnectedly for several
, minutes with the evident inten-
ton of gaining time. At length
the sheriff forced him upon the
platform, when a most extraordi-
nary and exciting scene, -ensued.
He at once made a wild plunge
forward, with the intention OF
leaping off the platform on. the
farther side, and with the evident
purpose of making a break and a
desperate endeavor to push his
way through the crowd and es-
cape his impending doom. Moth,
ing could bermore hopeless than
such an effort. But Ludwig had
ceased to reflect; he only felt Che
animal instinct of selfpreserva-
ton. He succeeded in throwing
his feet and legs off the platform,
but the two officers having hold
of his arms and shoulders held
fast, and pulling him backward
he fell, with the upper part tof his
back still on the platform, his legs
and part of his body projecting
over the edge. Several Of the
nearest officers of the guard at
once rushed to the assistance of
, the sheriff and laid hold of ,Luc.
wigs legs, endeavoring to shove
bima backward on the platform.
But the prisoner struggled with
almost ~super-human strength.
With all the vigor of his powerful
and. muscular frame, nerved by
despair, he wrestled with fate:
For a long time he uttered no
word, but with convulsive and
rapid movement of, arms and legs
stro8e to wrench himself from the
grasp of the eight or ten men
who now had hold Of: him. A
thrill Of awe and horror ran
through the Immense aasemblage,
andsit swayed to and fro like a
forest shaken@bysa mighty wind.
But those whose duty it was to
act remained calm and cool: The
moose was two feet above his
head as be lay, and powerful ef:
forts were used to push him up to
it. At the end of more than five
minutes he exclaimed that he
would stand up and be quiet if
they would release their hold, but
this was evidenly said only for
the purpose of inducing them to
relax their efforts, for he showed
no sort of disposition to relax his
own exertions. The officers per-
sisted in placing. the, moose over
his. head, and as he felt that inev-
liable fate now had him, he is said
to have muttered curse, which
was overheard by some Of those
nearest him. It took several min
utes to pinion his hands and feet,
he meanwhile lying on his side
and choking to death as fast as
psssib|e, tor the rope was asstretched
by his weight. By the time his
arms and legs were tied he had
become motionless, the cap was
put over his face, and the officers
sprang off and knocked out the
prop. In fifteen minutes thereaf-
ter the spirit of Ludwig was at
the bar of God.
