A HUNDRED YEARS IN JAIL.

A certain house-breaker was con-
demned in the latter part of the last
century, in France, and under peculiar
circumstances, to hundred years in
the gallery, and, strange to tell, this
man made his appearance in his own
native province at the advanced age of
120 years, he being about 90 years of
age when the sentence that condemned
him to such dreadful punishment
was passed. 1t is difficult to conceive
what the feelings must have been with
which he returned as soon as emanci-
pated from the shackles which had
enthralled him for century, to breathe
once more the cherished air of the
scenes of his infancy. Bourge, in the
department of Ain, was his native
home, but time had so changed the
place that he recognized it only by the
church of Boron, which was the only
thing that had undergone no alteration.
He had triumphed over lays, bond
age, man, time, everything. Not re-
lation had he left, not single being
could he hail in acquaintance, yet he
was not without experiencing the
homage and respect the French pay
age. For himself, he had forgotten
everything connected with his early
youth; even all recollection of the
