Laugh1an. He finally reoueeted the clorgymon
to adminiater tho sacrament, Etating In reply to
their inquiries, that ho desired thereby to SHOW
his perfect submission to the will OF dou, anu
his confidence in him, and furth ermoro that IL
would be comfors to his mothscr "hen ano

Yaotory assurance ot. his religious au1d edi1y1ng
end. They wero an tisaod Of his sincerity nnd

About 9 o'clock, tho crowd began to arflVo'

Mr.. Driver was in 1lis ceil at the western end
of the northern corridor. He sat on Ills bed,
smoking q short briar-wootl pipo, WAS neatly
dressed, and locked so mucl. at case that ono
might have taken him for all okHcor OF the 1all,
who had just stepped into coll to
have q quiet smoke. The smallor
children stood outside naturally very

He looked upon tho whole thing ,'s b ciroaH'
which would last only for short time,. and that,
therefore, it WAS necessary for him to hurry
around and sec what was to be soen. he WAS
accompanied by subordinate creature, q young
friend OF his OWL age, to whom he explained
things. The boy had breakfast, but he could
not resist the temptation Of q pic which he Ba"

but 1t is nevertheless true, that iasesd Of weep"

Tho boy being behind little, he turned back,
caught him by the arm, and gave him vory IN

a pIsAonEEADLE DUTY.
It.is one Of the most unpleasant partB Of thi'
business of reporting executions, to cau npo1
the sentenced man and ask him about his Wow
Of things-whether he Ia resigned to his fate
haa a realizing ASSURANCE Of hH reception anon
tho redeemed etc., eto. These ara question
which are formal, and must be asked, and yet
after ALL when ono oaks them he has 1ooln
that it IL rather impertinent, and thinks that he
undor similar circumsta nceB, would get indte
nant and swear. but tho public always want
know whether man ia "roalgnod or not, an
20 the question has to ba asked.
But in this caao, tho Rev. Mr. Davls, who ha
been hls guide to mansions in the Hkios, I'M
pened to bo standing in the corridor, and thort

Driyer's views woro regarding the impendin

aud ready to meet death with living faith
salvation through Ills Lord JosuB. Then Il
beckonod to Mr.. Driver, who WAS loatlng aroun
in tho neighborhood. George cama up, and hl
