the lovers deserves extended publicity
and are therefore quoted as follows;
ole was young. he was fair, and he
parted his hair, like the average beau,
in the middle; he was proud, he was
bold, but the truth must be told, he
played like fend on the fiddle. But
aside from this vice, he was everything
nice, and his heart was so loving and
tender, that he always turned pale. when
he trod on the tail of the cat lying by
the fender. lie clcrkeh in store, and
the way that he tore of calico, jeans and
brown shecting, would have ticklcd a
calf, and made the brute laugh in the
face Of a quarterly meeting. He cut
quite dash with darling moustache,
which he learned to adore and TO cherish;
for one girl had said, while she drooped
her proud head, that 'twould Kill her to
see the thing perish. On the Sunday he'd
search the straight road to the church,
unheediug the voice Of the scorner ; and
demurely he sat, like young tabby cat,
with the saints in the far amen corner.
lie sang like bird, and his sweet voice
was heard, fairly Juggling away at long
meter, and we speak but the truth when
we say that this youth could out sing a
hungry musquiter.
She was young, she was fair, and she
scrambled her hair like the average belle

but the truth must be told that the way

lion.

Many years ago a celebrated physi-
clan, author of an excellent work on the
etlec:s Of Imagination, wished to combine
theory with practice in order to confirm
the truth of his propositions. To this
end he requested the minister of justice
to allow him to try an experiment on a
criminal condemned to death. The min
lister consented and delivered to him an
assassin of distinguished note. Our sd
vant sought the cslprit and thus adj
dressed him: "Sir, several persons who
are Interested TIL -Four family haye-pre
vailed on the judge not to require you to
mount the scafIold and expose yourself
to the gaze of the populace. He has,
therefore commuted your sentence thus
far; that he sanctions your being bled TO
death within the precincts of your pris-
on-your dissolution will be gradual and
free from pain" The criminal submit
ted to his fate-thought his family would
be less disgraced, and concidered tia ia
vor not to be compelled to walkto the
place of public execution.
He was conducted to an appointed
room where every precaution was taken
before hand. His eyes were bandaged,
he was strapped to a table, and at pre-
concerted signal four of his veins were
gently pricked with the point of pin.
At each corner of the table was small
fountain of water, so contrived rs to flow
gently into basins placed to receive it.
The patient believing that it was his
blood he heard flowing, gradually be-
came weak, and the conversation Of the
doctors, in an undertone, confirmed him
in this opinion.
"What fine blood said one. "What
pity he should be condemned to die, he
would have lived long time"
"Hush' said the other; then ap-

voice, but SO as to be heard by the Grim
nal: How many pounds of blood are
there in the human body"
"Twenty-four. You see already about
ten pounds extracted; that man is now
in hopeless state"
The physicians then receded by degrees
and continued to lower their voices. The
stiffness which reigned in the apart
ment, broken only by tho dripping foun-
tains, the sound of which was gradually
lessened, so affected the brain of the poor
patient, that, although man of strong
constitution, be tainted and died without
having lost drop of blood.
