A JAPANESE EXECUTION.

BILE Hints for Christian Legislatures.

The decapitatiOn of four men al To-
be Yokohama for the crime Of steal
ing some forty rios lin value about as
many dOllars) is thus described by an
eyewitness 10 the mOurnful scene.
The execution ground was feDcedin, in
the form OF corral, and stood amidst
the fields of waving barley. In one
corner of the inclOsure was mat-shed
and lust outside an sminOus group of
trees-ominous at least, to condemn
ed prisoners, for the fast decaying
skulls which lie around too plainly
tell the tale of the sequestered spot.
The birds and dogs have been at work
in this offensive burying place, and
have unearthed those remnants Of the
dead. The dread hour appointed for
the culprits to expiate their crimes is
Z A. NJ, and we find it wants thirty
minutes of that hour yet. But already
n numerous and somewhat motley
crowd of foreigners and natives are as
sembled, and some Ofthe more callOus
| indulge in unseemly conversation and
rude Jokes. While moving about the
spOt we observe the preparations
! which have been made for the eXecu-
ton. a horizontal bar, upon which
are four Ominous spikes projecting
upward-and whereOn, 1T IS readily
surmised, the heads of the doomed
criminals will be bleaching in the sun
for two or three days-stands about
two wards from the fence, near the
mat-shed on one side and the gate on
the other. Opposite TO this are two
holes in the ground, the dimensions
of which are about three feet by one
and a half, and some eighteen inches
deep. Beside these the poor wretch
es will have to kneel when beheaded
thst their heads may fall into them
they also receive their blood. There
are a number Of straw mats lyins
near. in which, we are told, the bodies
will be wrapped and buried. Neal
one of these notes.-the one where the
executiOner will first perform the san
culinary duty of his revolving office
is white handkerchief on staff
Thus it will be seen that the arrange
ments are neither elaborate nor per
vaded by that mOurnful air whief
should characterize the occasion. Il
the hut sits the eXeeutiOners and thei
attendants, cOmplacently waiting tn
arrival of the soTrowful procession
from the prison. Anxious to have
chat with the chief headsman, mai
apparently fifty or sixty years of age
we enter the mat-shed, and wish then
good morning, which is politely re
turned, light cigar and enter into con
versation regarding the prisoners
We then casually examined the execu
toner's sword, a long, twO-handeu
| one, and doubtless of the best steel
and received an invitation to lOol
over the prison on some future occa
sion. Moving outside again, We OF
served the increasing cOncourse, anE
ious to witness the dying throes q

moved a short distance away. At a

kneels at the other hole, and the same

third is now brought forward, his
slaughter differing from the others
only in the fact that another heads

A WOLVERINE POME.

WOLVERINE POME.
There was a young girl OF Saline,
Had such a weakness for lemon ice
cream
That she ate tEenty-three dishes,
Against her kind parents wishes,
And they buried the young girl Of sa-
line.
There was another girl Of II ATbor,
Who eIoPed with a gay eolored barber,
Itsunsettled her poor mothers mind,
Because the latter designed
Her 10 wed a literary student Of Ann

There were two other naidens OF Jack.
son,
Who wore such tight eorsets their waists
on,
That they suddenly deInised;
But no one was surprised
Atthe sad fate oftheSe naldens OF Jack
son.
And there was a proud girl in Detroit.
Who went into shop-lifting exploit,
And then she was jailed,
But no one bewafled
The bad luck of this proud girl Of De

THE DOOMED MEN.

AS they pass through the gate, we
being inside the fence see plainly
each man as he comes in, and are
somewhat surprised to hear one OF
them, as he walks by us, say, OhdgO
gd-djtH3B9ds good mOrning,) in a
calm, natural tone of voice, and then
express bis opinion that the terrible
death to which he was doomed would
resemble going to sleep; he evidently
had no fear of death. The three men,
(the fourth heiug i'm state of semi
insensibilityl take long, long gaze
at surrounding objects, and the at
tendants proceeded to blindfOld them,
their arms having been securly bound
before them before leaving the Jail.
The three men, each in turn, then
give utterance to sort of exhoTtaticn
and prayer. The miserable man in
the Tango is now lifted out and plac-
ed on his knees inside the hole, while
two men stand behind him holding
his bOdy-but there is nothing to place
his head upon. Another then takes
him by the chin. to put his head in
position, which he succeeds in doing
i'm a minute and a half, a delay terri
bly, agOniZing to the victim.

THE PROCESSION.

But listen that fearful chant, soft
ly waited over the fields of grain
which glow in the morning sunshine,
betokens the approach of the sad pro-
cession. Nearer and nearer, though
slowly it approaches us, and as its
sorrowful lay is echoed by the hills
and sappices around, a thrill of pain,
of sympathy for those on whom an-
other sun, another morn, will never
brighten, is felt by almost every heart
that's there. Now il is within a few
yards. Three men are carrying as
many boards, held alOft on poles, upon
which is written u declaration Of the
| crimes committed by the culprits (;
( then come three or four more, having
poles with n cross covered with spikes
! at the tOp-emblematic of the prison
and instice-then follow a string of
/ officers and attendants, in the midst
of whom are the prisOners-fOur very
young men-each dressed in a very
| light cOlOred kinleRO-a long dress
} fastened at the waist with n sash or
/ girdle, and contrasting strangely with
I the darker attire Ofthe Others. Three of
I them walk with fTmness and strength,
but the fourth, sicF, and overwhelmed
with distress, is being carried in a
kdRgO, or basket chair, in which the
common people of Japan travel, he
/ ing borne along by the coolies.

while my daughter assumes the station
Of the heiress, and wears the honors OF

50 much alike that no one will ever be
able to distinguish the true one from her
counterfeit.
The listener felt that the shock of this
announcement had shortened his brief
span of life, he knew that the death
clutch was already on his vitals, but he
rallied his last remaining strength, and
said, with solemn emphasis
s.If you consumate this wickedness, |
leave to you, and to the impostor who
will take the place of my darling, my
undying malediction God is over all,
and he will not permit such villany to
90 unpunished, even in this world"
Mrs Blake Enclosed her lips to reply,
but Landry raised his hand appealingly,
a change passed over his sunken face,
and with prayer on his lipsin behalf OF
his favorite child he passed away.
Hester arrayed herself in black dress
which she found in Estelle's trunk, and
assuming the name and character of her
half-sister, prepared, on the following
day, to accompany the remains of her
father to New Orleans for burial, in com
pany with Herbert Spenser, young
man from Boston, cousin of Raymond
De Lorme's who had been sent on by
the family relations for that purpose.
What happened there, and indeed the
whole of the thrilling story of the rival
half-sisters, Hester and Estelle, will be
found in the New York Ledger, which
is now ready and can be had at all the
bookstores and news dcpots. Ask fol
the number dated June %, and in it you

IT ASKS YOUR PATRONAGE, BECAUSE

State:
,. Insurance in it is cheaper than it can
be in any Stock Co, because it is mutual
and there are no dividends to be paid to
stockholders:
3. 1t takes but three per cont. on the pre-
MUM note in advance, and assesses at the
end of each year what is necessary to meet
the losses already made; thus leaving your
money, so far as possible, in your own
hands, where it cannot be lost through
any mistakes or dishonesty of Directors:

all liabilities, and the very low average of
assessments proves that it has been hon

HOUSE. FARM AND GARDEN

RE-PLANTING GROUND WITH TREES. 80
L. Barnes, in The Garden, an English
periodical, says: 81 never knew a
single instance where new plantation
was made on ground that had been pre-
yiously occupied with trees that ever
succeeded, unless the whole of the
ground was trenched over as deeply as
the roots of the trees removed had gone,
and every root as thick as persons fin
ger got out-an operation that costs as
much as the ground is usually worth.
The result is generally this: the young
trees for time grow, but in two or
three years they begin - look sickly,
and die off. On examining the roots,
they are found to be destroyed by a
fungus, which has done natures work
Ia assisting the decomposition Of the
dead roots. and, for want of a further
supply of food, attacks the living ones,
which, in turn, succumb to its encroach-
ments.

Wecltp the following from the Troy, N.
y Wing:
Some three months since DR.. r. V. Pierce,
of Buffalo, n. Y, commenced advertising
in the IT7tig, an article called ''Dr. Sage's
Catarrh Remedy" We believed at that
time it was one of the catch penny ar
engagements to swiudle the people out OF
their money, but during the past few
weeks have become convinced to the con-
trary. We know of several prominent
citizens who have suffered from that
loathsome disease called "catarrh,' - and
they pronounce DR.. Sage's Remedy no
humbug. and in several instances have
been entirely cured. We desire to give
DR.. Pierce the benefit of the same. sos
