A Preachers Stratagem.

1t is said that at one time, when Lorenzo
Dow preached under large spruce pine in
South Carolina, he announced another ap-
pointment for preaching in the same place,
OH that day twelve months. The year
passed, and as Lorenzo vas entering the
neighborhood. the evening preceding his
appointment, he overlook a colored boy
who was blowing long tin horn, and could
send out blast with rise, and swell. and
cadence, which walked the echoes of the
distant hills.
Calling aside tho blower, Dow said to
him:
:.What is your name, sir!'
"AIy name? Gabriel, sir?" replied tha
brother in ebony.
Swell. Gabriel, have you ever been to
Church Hill?"
eyes, massa, Use been dar many time. II
''DO you remember a big spruce pine on
that hill?"
"Oh yes, massa. know dat pine"
'Did you know that Lorenzo Dow had
an appointment to preach under that tree
tomorrow
80 yes. massa. everybody knows dat"
"Well, Gabriel, am Lorenzo Dow. and
if You'll take your horn ana go tomorrow
morning and climb into that pine troe, and
hide among the branches before the people
begin to gather, and wait there till I call
your name, and then blow such blast Will,
your horn as heard you blow minute
ago, III give you dollar. Will you do it,
Gabriel?''
eyes. massa, takes dat dollar"
Gabriel, like Zaccheus, was hid away in
the tree-top in fine time. An immense
concourse, of all sizes and colors, assem-.
bled at the appointed hour, and Dow
preached on tho Judgment of the last day.
By his power OF description he wrought the
multitude up to the opening scenes Of the
resurrection, OF the grand assize, at the
call OF the trumpet peals which were to
awake the nations. ''rhen," said he ''sup
pose. my friends, that We should hear al
this moment the sound of Gabriers trum.
pet?" Sure enough, at that moment the
trumpet of Gabriel sounded. The
women shrieked. and many tainted; the
men sprang up and looked aghast; some
ran; others fell and called for mercy, and
oil felt for time that the judgment was sci
and the books were opened. Dow stood
and watched the driving storm till the fright
abated; and some one discovered the col
ored angel who had caused the alarm quietly
perched on limb of the old spruce, and
wanted to get him down and whip him. and
then resumed his theme, saying, II forbid
nll persons touching that boy up there. II
a colored boy with tin horn can brighten
you almost out of your wits, what will you
do when We shall hear the trumpet Of the
archangel2 How will ye be able to stand
in the great day of the wrath of GodT
He made O very effective application. -

A STRANGE CASE.
An Innocent Man Sent to Prison flor
Then o's III" OHvni COmfcSsiom.
Kalamaxoo Sept. 10y Correspondence Of the Detroit

THEFT o'i HTS OWN Confessio,,.
Kalamazoo Sept. 2o) Correspondence Of tho Detroit
j. Post =
few years ago, . man residing in Ver-
mont, by the name of Bourne, VAS con-
victea of murder ON his own confession.
He Was sentenced to death, but the execu-
ton was prevented by the arrival ut the
scene OF tho execution Of the man whom it
was supposed he had murdered.
A case OF imprisonment once occurred in
this state in which the circumstances of the
conviction were somewhat similar to those
Of the case above referred to, and, the
writer believes, We're never before publish
Cd. The victim was q poor and ignorant
man, who may be called Pennel, somewhat
addicted to Incorporate habits, who re-.
sided in one Of the western counties. He
had wife and several children dependent
upon him for support, and had purchased,
and nearly paid or, few acres Of land, on
which he had erected a small house.
A man of wealth in the neighborhood
had lost two fat hogs that were running at
large in the woods A place was found
some two miles distant, where two hogs
had been killed and dressed, and the con.
clusion was that they were the missing AMI
mails. Pennel being a poor and rather
worthless fellow, suspicion rested on him
| rs the criminal. He was arrested, but as
there WAS no proof to convict him, twas
deemed an important step to get him to
confess it. Pennel, at first strenuously de.
MED the accusation, asserting that he had
no hand in killing the hogs and knew moth
ing about it. A strong pressure wat
brought to bear on him, however, it being
understood that the reward would be paid
if he could be induced to plead guilty. He
was told that he would certainly be con
victed and sent to the state prison for at
least five years, but that ii he should plead
guilty he would get off with two or three
months imprisonment in the county jail
The condition OF his family was alluded TO-
and for their sake he was urged to plead
guilty. and got off with the promised lighl
sentence.
He finally consented to accept the ad
vice SO strongly urged upon him, and when
the day Of trial came entered in plea o.
guilty.
The result, however, was quito difieren,
from what he had been led to expect; for
instead Of getting two or three months IL
the county Jail, he was sentenced to five
years hard labor in the stale prison
Thus the evil he thought to avoid by tha
confession came upon him and his poo
family. He lost what he had paved on lii
place, with the improvements he had made
upon it, and his wife, broken down will
grief, want and sickness, was thrown upol
the county as public charge.
| The sequel was that after Pennel hat
spent two aud half years in prison, tn
truth in regard to the missing hogs came
to light, it being simply that another maj
who had two hogs running in the sam,
woods, had, by mistake for his own killed
those which Pennel had been accused o
stealing.
