watch. "Do your duty, soldiers"
One of the men approached the cul-
prit and, pulling his hands from his
face, ordered him to stand up. Trem-
bling he obeyed His face was ashy
pale and, his eyes were protruding in
fear and terror. He gazed around, but
no look of sympathy could he discern
in their faces. His eye at length rested
on Walter, who stood between two
soldiers, and for a moment their gaze
was riveted on one another. At that
instant the halter was flung round his
neck, and large placard on which was
written the single word, Traitor"
was pinned to his breast. A shrek
burst from the unfortunate wretch as
he was dragged to the nearest tree.
The rope was thrown across limb,
and soon the soul of the false friend
and betrayer was in eternity. As the
soldiers left the place of execution, a
scream rose on the air, and, looking be-
hind, they beheld the mother of the

Walter and William enlisted in
Greene's brigade, and served under
Washington until the surrender of York
town, and both rose to the rank of
Colonel. Col. Bradford died one

And fearful his way of singing them through
At first, the people would kindly say:
All, sing it again, Mynheer we pray

- This little thing from Tootovere''1
They listened while, but wearied soon.
And, like the professor, they changed their tune.
Yainly they coughed and a-hemmed and stirred
Only the harder he triled and slurred.
Until, in despair. and rather than grieve
The willing professor, they took their leave,
And left him singing this sweet air.
And that pretty bit from ToOtovere";
And then the hostess in sorry plight,
While yet he sang with all his might
Let down the blinds, put out the light,

Married the Woman Who Beat Him.

The Corning On. " Journal is au-
thority for the followingromantic story:
"a citizen who holds q conspicuous
official position got acquainted with
his amiable and excellent wife dozen
years ago at Elmira, where she was on
a visit. He met her at a party and was
introduced. Perhaps they would have
remained strangers but for an incident,
as follows: He was driving out in South
port, and overlook a lady in a buggy,
alone. Wishing to show the speed of
his horse he undertook to pass her.
She whipped up her horse and kept
ahead He recognized his new ac-
quaintance, and was determined not to
be baked in his effort, and he urged
his own horse into rapid gait, and
for a mile on that Sunday morning
there was lively race on the plank
road. He failed to drive by her, but
was doubtless impressed favorably by
the gait displayed, SO that an acquaint-
ance soon led to a wedding. tits a sug-
gestive query whether the lady has kept
ahead since then; but whether so or
not, they are a very happy couple"
They were blue-hshing off the coast
of Fire Island, when the fair one of the
party pointed off at distance and
asked: George, what kind of a vessel
is that?" He leaned over, stole kiss
from her lips and answered calmly:
"That's fishing smack. "-ProVidence
