A COnyict's Fight for Liberty.

A prisoner in the penitentiary of
Bruchsal, Il town in the Grand Duchy of
Baden, has lately succeeded in burning
down the greater portion of the prison
Carl Schwable, notorious desperate,
was incarcerated for robbery. He
wrenched off portion of his iron bed
stead and broke open his cell door.
Shouldering the instrument of escape,
he deliberately marched through the
corridors unmolested, and made for the
.jailor's room. He forced the door and
entered He arrayed himself in the
his fragment of bedstead for the officials
sword. As he was stalking through the
building on his way to the outer gate,
he was discovered. An alarm was given.
He made for the chapel, scaled the wall
inside, crawled through window and
climbed to the roof of the building.
He esconced himself behind the para
pet, forced out number of stones and
hurled them down upon his pursuers.
Several shots were fired at him without
effect. He called out to the officials
below, declaring that unless they would
give him chance to escape, he would
fire the Jail. On their continuing to
discharge theirrevolvers, he deliberately
lighted a match, gathered together some
dry splinters Of wood, and set fire to
the roof of the chapel. The flames
spread rapidly, and the entire building
was soon ablaze. The fire brigade was
called out, but before the fire was got
under, a large tower the chapel, and
the offices fell q prey to the flames.
Schwable fled to an adjoining building,
and the guards for u long time sought
in vain for the desperate. At length
he was discovered hidden under the
floor of u lookout at the summit of
lofty tower. Sword in hand, he fought
like a demon. Riddled with shots and
slashed with sabcr cuts, he still kept
his assailants at bay. At last they
rushed upon him in a body, and pitched
him from the tower, height of six sto,
ries, into the prison yard. Marvellous
to relate, he was not killed. He fell
into cart-load of rubbish, but in day
or two afterward he died OF his wounds

Half these palaces are never used, and

The Golden Year.


We eslecp and wake and sleep but all things move:
The sun flies forward to his brother sun:
The dark earth follows wheeled in her ellipsc
And human things returning on themselves
Move onward, leading up the golden year.
Ah, though the times when some new thought
can bud
Are but az poets seasons when they flower
Yet seas that daily gain upon the shore
Have ebb and flow conditioning their march,
And slow and sure comes up the golden year.
Then wealth no more shall rest in moundcd heaps
But smt with freer light shall slowly melt
In many streams to fatten lower lands
And light shall spread, and man be liker man
Through all the seasons of the golden year
Shall eagles not be eagles? wrens be wrens?
II all the world were falcons, what of that?
The wonder of the eagle were the less,
But he not less the eagle Happy days,
Roll onward, leading up the golden year
Fly, happy. happy sails and bear the Press.
Fly. happy with the mission of the Cross
Knit land to land, and blowing heavenwar1
With silks. and fruits. and spices. clear of toll.
Enrich the markets of the golden year.
But we grow old. All ! when shall all mems good
Be each mans rule. and universal peace
Lie like shaft of light across the land.
And like lane of beams athwart the sea.
Through all the circle of the golden year.

An Instance OF HerOism.

From the Lansing Republican.
An instance of remarkable presence
Of mind, in saving property in the late
fires in Michigan, has come under our
notice, we'll worth relating. A large
portion of Gratiot county was overrun
by the fires the last two or three weeks,
destroying dwellings, fences, timber,
saw mills, and other property. The
only mill saved in that section was that
belonging to ID. l.. Case ard James NJ.
Turner. of this city. An old English
man in their employ, named Jacob
Laird, saw that the mill was in the
range of the fire, and that it was
speedily coming upon him, and he
made preparations to meet and fight it
like an old soldier, for he had served
the Union cause gallantly during the
late Rebellion. Taking all the movable
property from the mill. blacksmith
shop, and boarding house, he buried it
where it would be safe from the de-
vouring element. Then he dug series
of wells, inclosing the mill and hun
dreds Of thousands of feet of lumber,
placing by the side of each well bar
rel filled with water, pail in each we'll
and another in the barrel. These wells
were dug thick as needed for the
speedy protection of the property. One
well he dug deeper than the others,
that in case his efforts to save the prop
erty should be in vain and his own life
in danger, he could jump in as last
resort.
The hire came down upon him like a
tornado. With his force of hands he
met 1t, and where it crossed the line
here and there, setting fire to piles of
lumber, the water ready at hand
quenched the flames. At last he came
OH victorious, for he saved the mill,
lumber and all the property, with the
loss OF his own hair, eyebrows, whis-
kers, and even the woolen shirt from off
his back. When rallied by his en-
ployers as to whether he % did not find
it hot work." his reply was, at was not
much OF soldier who couldn't face the
fire, after facing as many cannon as he
had"
AS a fitting reward, Laird's wages
have been nearly doubled, and he was
furnished with fine suit of clothes,
and told that he could remain there as
long as he chose.
THE Sultan of Morocco is described AS
morose man, or by no means COM
manding presence. He is said to be
addicted to the immoderate use of
strong drink, and cruel in his proclivi-
ties, but his Incidence is so great that
he frequently fails to perpetrate deeds
| of violence upon which he has already
resolved. He is illiterate, and unable to
write his own name.
