Saws Gamblers Journal: To Tyburn
doomed men from Newgate were carried
in half dozens, as if for public entertain
ment We can hardly in the present day
realize the brutality of these exhibitions.
to which, however, ladies of quality
regularly adjourned to see the show.
Hanging formed a holiday amusement of
the fashionable society of London. Such
was the disregard of human feeling that
officers of the law were not ashamed to
practice cruel receptions on convicts at
the very scatfold. A person named David
Lindsay, convicted of traitorous visits to
France, was sentenced to die, and carted
TO Tyburn in spite of an amnesty. When
bis neck was in the moose the Sheriff tested
David's courage by telling him he might
vet save his life on condition of revealing
the names of alleged traitors. David,
however, sorely tempted, declined to save
his neck on such terms. Thereupnn the
Sheriff ordered the cart to drive on; but
even this move toward leaving Lindsay
suspended did not shake his stout spirit.
All this time the Sheriff had reprieve
for the unnecessarily tortured fellow in
his pocket. Before the cart was fairly
from under Lindsay's feet it was stopped,
or he would have been murdered. Taken
back alive TO Newgate, a very unusual
spectacle, Lindsay, after being nearly
starved in loathsomesdungeon, was sent
into perpetual Punishment; ultimately he
died Of hunger and exposure in Holland.
As the hanging of some thousands of
rebels would have shocked ordinary
decencv, vast numbers were condemned
to be banished, as an act of grace, tol the
Plantations, or were ''made over as pres
ents to trading courtiers," who might
pardon them for consideration Think
OF lords and ladies at Court being pre-
scented with groups of convicts on whom
money could be made by selling pardons
The fact throws anew light On this period
of English history. As regards trans
portatiOn, some not uninteresting and lit
tie known particulars are given concern
ing Rob Roy. Twelve years alter the
rebellion of 1715 Rob was taken to Lon
don in connection with the Disarmament
Act, and sentenced, with many others, to
be transported to Barbados. Handcuffed
to Lord Ogilvie, he was marched from
Newgate through the streets OF London to
barge at Blackfriars, and thence TO
Gravesend. "This,' says DR.. Doran, lis
an incident which has escaped the notice
of Walter Scott and of all Rob's biograph-
ers.9 Before quitting England the barge
load of convicts were pardoned and
allowed to return home.

Among the Pacific, capitalists who are
so unfortunate as to arouse the indigna-
ton of Mr.. KearDey are Millar and Lux,
California farmers, who own 100000 acres
of gold streaked soil, over which roam
immense focks of sheep and herds of
oxen. Their faFm is 90 miles long by
10 wide, and they rule $4,000 head OF
stock. This little principality is worth
$4,000, 900; and yields an immense
fortune every wear.

The Foreshadowing.

Some thought flies, day by day,
OF coming rest,
As birds that far away
Seek their true nest.
IT'S but a feeling, yet
1t sounds within,
That all sad hours viii set
And JOY begin.
We know how much we feel
Wearied, yet sure
That all pain can reveal
Returns no more:
That, like journey done,
The tired feet
Shall. with the fading sun,
Find rest complete.
Wejtol on, day by day,
For others good,
To find ourselves astray,
Misunderstood;
And still the thankless task
Goes on each hour,
And all that we can ask
Is grace and power.
Grace to contend with wrong
And power to toll;
To lift, when worn song
Above the soil;
And when our earthward gaze
sees rocks ana scars,
Our upward glance we raise
To worlds of stars.
And oft the good we do
For Others here
Is ever kept in view
And held most dear.
The after-time shall show
Its fruit TO thee,
Whose faith and love could throw
Bread on the sea.
And music in the soul
Sings soft and low,
That, under times control,
Ali troubles go;
That here where shadows fall
Towards darkest night,
That there the voices call
To cloudless light.

A GOOD SUBJECT FOR CLER.
GIMEN TO DISCUSS.

We respectfully invite the attention
of clergymen of all denominations to
q subject which the rich members of
their congregations lave frequent oc-
casion TO consider practically, and in
reference to which theory and prac
tice have hitherto been widely asund-
or. We refer TO the question, what
concession is it right TO make to
thieves for the purpose of recovering
stolen property?
No compromising Of folonies, says
the law. No conniying at the escape
of thieves, thunders the pulpit.
Compounding Of telonies is effect
ually prohibited, because the COM
mand Of the law is enforced by alllix-
ing q temporal penslty to its viola
ton. But while technical offence
of this kind is avoided, an evasion of
the law, to which the moral objection
would seem to apply with equal
force, is often practiced- When
bank has been robbed of a
large amount of securities, the good
deacons to be found in the board of
directors are apt to have sudden
perception of another class of moral
considerations. "It is all very well, >"
say they "to condemn making con-
tracts with thieves and robbers, by
which thse criminals profit, but then
we have to consider our duties to the
widows and orphans whose funds we
have in trust, and the question arises,
if we can get back two millions of
bonds by allowing the thieves to re-
tain two hundred thousand, why
should we make any fuss about it?
The high moral ground is good for
churches, and we believe in it in gen.
eral and profess it loudly; but then
it is not adapted to counting houses
and banks.
We think it would be well for the
clergy to consider this subject and
to debate it, and see if they and their
leading church members, cannot get
upon some common ground in rela-
ton to it. Certainly money is no
object compared with the importance
of faithfully performing a religious
duty.

We understand that Stanley, the
great African explorer, is thinking of
fitting out an expedition to penetrate
the lar interior of Maine. In the
vicinity of Mooselocmaguntic and
Molechunkamunk there is believed to
be large tribe of wild people called
Srckcabneerg, whose chief is named
Esahc Nolos. They are said to live
in u very primitive manner, using old
hoop-skirts, shovel-handles, stove
covers and such things for currency.
In times of war it is said they have
mustered as many as forty thousand
warriors.

ON THE MISSISSIPPI.

One of those great and comforta-
BILE steamships which the Yankees
construct descends the Mississippi
with a vertiginous rapidity.
When, lol a cry makes itself to be
heard:
ga man in the water!"
ssStop!' cries the captain /.
Then, turning himself towards
the purser, he demands: elias he
paid his fare2''
"Aye has paid" replies the purser.
''All arightsl'' howled (hurla) the
captain, and the steamboat retakes
its course, leaving the passenger be-
hind.
If the unhappy man had not paid
in advance he might have been saved.

Exhibition has achieved a perfect
success, and has received a full
Acknowledgement on all hands for
the benefit it has done in bringing
the sardines of France to compete in
friendly rivalry with the tallow
candles of Russia, the whiskies of
Scotland, and the timed pork of
Cincinnati, one may be allowed a
friendly grumble over the awful in
convenience it has caused to perman-
ent residents in Paris. As sight
too, the Exhibition grew terribly
tedious ON repetition. A wretched
mechanic at Rouen committed suicide
the ether day because he feared that
he would never be able to write an
account of the wonders he had seen
in the course of an excursion paid
for him out of the lottery fund. On
my last visit to the Exhibition I saw
LordaS IF private soldiers, cooks and
nurse-maids incoming about in a state
Of detection apparently akin to that
Of this mechanic. Every day two
thousand free tickets are handed over
by the commissioners to the Ministry
of War for distribution among the
military, and company OF soldiers
is tollcd off from every regiment in the
garrison of Paris and its envirOns to
go and amuse themselves in the
Champ de Mars. 1 cannot help
thinking that this amusement by
order mnst seem like ''latigue" to
many of them, for, to prevent this
dIsposing OF their tickets for money,
they ale all marshaled down to the
Champ de Mars, aud passed through
the turnsti.cs by non-cOmmissioned
officers. After that they are free to
go where they like, but to all appear
ances an iCea Of duty continues to
haunt them, and they congregate by
preferance in all the haunts where
they are least likely to find objects of
entertainment. Some of them, how
ever, have the sense to go to the
sections of costume and divert them
selve: by staring for whole hours at
the wax images of soldiers of different
countries, which seem to please
them mach more than the living
specimens Of international militaryism
who can be seen parading in the Rue
DIES Nations every day at dinner
time. This daily muster of Ameri-
can, Spanish, Dutch, Swedish, and
ether soldiers has been one of the
mos. satisfactory features in this
Exhibition. AS these brave fellows,
attached as guardians to the sections
of their respective countries have
been aaertered since the 1st of April
in cne of the wings of the Esole
Militairc, and they take their meals
