BELLEWATER AT MORN.
By X. K.

Sweet Lakelet nestled where the hills
Their strong arms throw around thee
Queen Natures baby just to-day
As when her love first found thee.
That morning when she woke to life,
And these same arms first wound her.
Ages have chasedeach other on,
Centuries grown old and died;
Earth's moulderng generations
In the dust sleep side by side.
But thou art still as youthful
As if to-day just born,
Thy smile is like baby's
This lovely summer morn.
pause to look and wonder,
Surprise yet greater grown;
May the joy that fills thy bosom
Find an answer iE my own.
Oh Lakelet of the mountains
My joy grows deep and fond,
AS glance across thy bosom
To the sloping> green beyond;
For the mists above thee breaking
Are as tears, that love makes sweet,
And the ripples on thee waking,
Are the tracks of angels feet.
The fog, that thy loving mother
Shook from her fleecy fold,
To guard her bonnie wee darling
Through the night hour, dark and cold,
Is lifted, and rent, and vanished,
And the sunlight, free and fair,
Flies down from his eastern portal,
And kisses the morning air;
His lips just touch theirs, smiling,
In a ripple of fresh delight,
The breeze bears thy laugh to my ear, o
And joy tear wells my sight
Laugh on ; pet child of the mountains,
Laugh on as We laughed that morn
When the stars" first sang together,
And earth's first shout" was born;
Langh on as the ages crumble,
Earth's nations grow and die;
Aye, laugh when the rocks are rending,
And the scroll-work of the sky
Is vanished. like your own vanished mists
And the unveiled glory shall burst
Bright DER the hills around thee
As it shone above thee first

TWO WOMEN DECAPITATED.
FRIGHTFUL SCENE ON A GERMAN scAFF-
OLD PITEoUs APPEALS FOR MERCY.

OLD PITEOCs APPEALS FOR MERCY.
On the llth of July, Ann Priester,
aged thirty-two, aud Frederica Rupert,
twenty-seven, were beheaded at Dessua,
the German Duchy of Annalt. Both
We're married, and conspicuous anIung tho
crowds that witnessed their last moments
were their husbands. Ann Priester and
Frederick Rupert had paid visit to the
aged widow Cranig. on the 18th of April.
The old lady had showed them large
easket filled with precious stones, and
after they had left her they determined
to return and appropriate her valuables.
They found the widow in bed, and
smothered her to death by pressing a
pillow upon her head. They obtained
the precious stones and other valuables,
but on the following morning they were
arrested, and soon after convicted of
murder and sentenced to death. Their
life in prison was an almost unbroken
series of sickening scenes of fear and
despair. On the morning of the day of
their death Executioner Pritzier entered
the cell. After tying their hands to
their backs. and connecting their feet
with a short leather strap, he cut off the
upper part of their dresses, exposing
their necks. During this operation they
begged the headsman piteously to have
mercy on them. The executioner tried
to comfort them, but when he left their
cell their cries of anguish and distress
could be heard all over the prison.
When they arrived on the scafFold the
executioner's assistant had to support
them. The death warrants were read,
and the headsman motioned Anna Prizes
ter to advance. The wretched woman
threw herself on her knees, and cried in
a piercing tone, Mercy Mercy!" She
had to be dragged to the block, where
her head was quickly fastened. The
headsman took his AK from a leather
triAd the edre- of the, blade
and then rapidly stepped up to the left
side of the block. He looked moment
at the white neck Of the woman, whose
body was moving convulsivcly all the
time. Then he lifted the ak and struck.
The blow had done its work we'll, for
the head of Anna Priester rolled down,
while her trunk rose up, thick stream
of blood spouting into the air. Mean
while Frederick, upon witnessing this
horrible spectacle, had tainted away,
and the doctor had to hold hartshorn
under her nose before she reawoke to
consciousness. She was already more
dead than alive when her head was fast
ened to the block. A second or two
afterward her head, too, had been sever
ed from the trunk.
And then ensued still more revolt
ing scene. Large numbers of the by
ISLANDERS hastened on the scaffold and
tried to gather some of the blood of the
victims in teacups or IN tin vessels, the
superstitious in certain parts of Germany
believing that the blood of executed f.
males is certain remedy for diseases
otherwise incurable.

the right hand, letting the little finger

throat in full open. easy position.
Compress the lips tightly, draw full
breath through the nostrils. and with
graceful curve raise the glass until the
rim is within about three inches of your
chin. Now is the supreme moment.

A VERY SURPRISING SUR
PRISE PARTY.

Those surprise parties, somehow, near
ly always turn out unpleasantly. They
tell about one that came off in Connec-
ticut recently which was not half as
joyous as it should have been. It was
reported of a man and his wife, who
had been married many years without
having any children, that they had at
last been made happy by the birth of a
daughter. Some of their friends deter.
mined to give the man a presentation
surprise party. So about forty persons
marched up to the house one evening.
carrying cradle and lots of gum-rings,
and bibs, and bottles with gum nozzels,
and baby carriage, and some little
night-gowns, and a coral armlet, and a
gross of soothing syrup, and socks, and
paregoric. And when the man. in amaze
ment, asked them what they meant by
such conduct, they said they were CON-
ing in quietly SO as not to wake the
baby. And when the husband blushed
and stammered, and asked, "What ba-
by?" they said has baby, and began to
hand him the things. and to load him
up with soothing syrup and gum rings,
until he foored one of the guests with
quart bottle of paregoric, and held him
down until he explained. And then it
was revealed that it was all mistake
about the little daughter; that no such
arrival had taken place at all, but that
the report was false. And then the
surprise party was great deal more
surprised than the man was, and the
guests gathered up that infant furniture
and tried to pretend to the man that
they never thought he had daughter,
but that they understood he had accept
ed position as director of an orphan
asylum, and that they brought around
few things for him to distribute among
the poor, fatherless children. The man
said it was singularly thin, and then
the company went home. The Gonsti-
tutional Convention ought to adopt some
kind of measure to prevent these mis-
takes.
