Hanged, but not Dead.

A woman in Scotland lived
thirty years after she was ,hung
for the murder of her child born
while her husband was serving a
term in prison. The British
Medical journal tells about it:
After she became unconscious
the Sheriff, thinking she was
dead, gave the body to hel
friends, who took it home in a
wagon. They stopped in a way
side tavern to drink, and sudden
ly the lid Of the coffin moved.
They took it off, and then she sat
mp. Everybody ran away,think-
ing it a ghost, but one man who
insisted on bleeding her. The
next day she was we'll enough to
walk. The Scotch law excul-
pates the victim after the judg-
ment of the court is executed,
and they couldn't legally hang
her again. 1t also absolved her
from her marriage, and her hus-
band had to marry her again
when he got out of prison.

Work Wouldn't Hurt Them.

A gentleman in riding through
the country in Georgia recently,
came upon a log cabin surround
ed by a patch of ground, which
a negro woman was plowing
with team of girls. Near by
the husband and father was feed
ing a stout and healthy mule.
Upon being asked why he did
not hitch his mule to the plow,
instead of his daughters, he re-
piled: "Boss dis mule is mine;
de ole 'omen is mine, and de gals
is mine; nobody is gwine to fetch
dem away, but if de morgum on
dis mule amt raised dis fall de
white man will send de Sheriff
and take de mule and all I'se
got. So / thought I'd keep de
mule fat and let de gals and ole
oman work, and save the hoss
flesh as much as / can, fur if de
wust comes / can ride off de
mule, and go somewhar else to
work. OATS it, boss; de work
won't hurt de gals"

A College Romance.

A college romance is told BY
1.-THE Atlanta Constitution. Many
years ago young fellow went
to Yale College. The father
was very rich and the youngster
lived in grand style at the Uni
versity. Suddenly the old man
failed and had to withdraw his
son from college. The boy,
however, felt the necessity of an
education, and determined to
have one any how. He, there
fore, went to work and learned
a trade as a machinist. When
he was at work his old associ-
ates cut him and refused to have
any thing to do with him. The
young ladies with whom he had
been great favorite failed to
recognize him when they met
him. One day while going
from his work he met a wealthy
young lady who had been his
friend. He had his tin dinner
bucket over his arm, and sup
posed she would cut him as all
the rest had done. She smiled
pleasantly, addressed him as
'"Tom," and insisted that he
should call and see her as he,
had always done. She said:
"There is no change in you, as
far as / am concerned" The
years rolled OIL. The young
workboy became wealthy, and
owner of a factory in which fif-
teen hundred men and women
are employed. The young girl
grew to womanhood and mar
ried. Her husband borrowed a
large sum of money from the
rich man, and died before he
had paid it, leaving his family
with but little property. The
capitalist sent her, with his con-
dolence, a recelpted note for her
husbands Indebtedness: :and now
the son of the millionaire is 60
ing to marry the daughter of
the one woman who was faith
full and true to the young work.

In the Wallets pocket, when W.

"In her desperation She
clutched at him; her hand caught
at the scarf, then grasped the

cred the head from the body

was still in force that one can
not be doomed to capital pun
ishment unless the whole of the
remains are found and identifi-
ed. This valet is ignorant, cum

ton of that missing head shall
frighten him into confession. y
The valet was brought from

to explain, do so.''
The valet covered down, and
then, n,suddcnly throwing himself
forward at the feet Of the Pre-
feet, he raised his manacled
hands and cried out:

"Your confession comes too
late, for / have traced your
nights work perfectly. Yet we
will hear your story-if you
choose to tell it."
The wretched valet then made
a clean confession. The detec-
tivc's theory was correct. The
valet had been concealed in the
closet; he left the house in the
morning unseen. He tore the
necklace from the woman's neck
before he severed the head. He
had hidden them under the
hearthstone of the room of a
grisctte whose lover he was.
The necklace was found in her
possession. The valet was tried
in May, and in the same month
suffered death on the gu;llotine.
M. Louis Capin was released.
In October, 1876, on his death
bed, he sent for the Prefect and
made to him the startling con-
fession that it was he who as
sassinated NJ. Granville; that he
had on that night found that Ma
dame had u liaison with Gran
vile; that when Granville left
the house he followed him to the
Pont-Neuf; there he attacked
him, and in the fury of the mo-
ment stabbed him to the heart,
and threw his body into the
Seine.

"Amazing Grace" ("

The following is vouched fol
by one of the most reliable of
Philadelphia divines:
A young clergyman, having
agreed to supply the pulpit of
an older brother absent from
home, escorted to church the
daughter of the pastor, and, af-
ter seeing her safely in her fa-
theirs pew, ascended to the pull
pit, unconscious that this natu-
raj attention to the young lady
was sufficient to excuse lively
imaginations and inquiries in
in the audience.
Upon reading the hymn to be
sung the young clergyman was
surprised to perceive evident
efforts i'll the congregation to
suppress laughter. The daught-
er of his friend possessed the
mellifious name of Grace, and,
all unsuspicious of that fact, he
had chosen the hymn beginning
with the words "Amazing
Grace" and proceeding with:
Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,
And grace my fears relieved;
How precious did that grace appear
The hour first believed
Through many dangers, tolls and snares,
Il have already come;
'Tis grace has brought me safe thus far,
And grace will lead me home!

THE SACRED PLEDGE.
By JESSIE F. BROWNE.

Those mystic scenes, to memory dear,
Those sacred trusts, none may betray;
Respected friends, no longer near,
81 mind you still, tho far away"
Nor owns my heart prouder claim,
Than this that binds me now to you;
Than this pure, high, exalted aim,
or every friend to virtue true.
The sacred pledge, Of life part,
In which your mystic circles join:
The generous glow of every heart,
Receives warm response from mine;
Though far removed, where no more
May share with you that social right;
Those scenes as recall them o'er,
Afford me still serene delight.
And you, 0, noblest sons of worth,
Who spurn the Tempter's base control;
exists there not on Gods green earth,
A loftier impulse of the soulD
May Heaven promote your glorious caus,
And kindly bless tn intrepid band,
Who thus uphold, by virtuous laws,
Columbia's fair and happy land.

In Norwich, Conn.,, a bull
dog took a business hold, from
which a Newfoundland dog
could not disengage himself, so
he deliberately walked into the
river, dragging his antagonist
after him, and held him under
the water until he was nearly
drowned. When the bulldog
was released he came to the
shore, and when the Newfound-
land dog came out of the water
he engaged him again. The
Newfoundland dog repeated the
experiment, and but for the
timely interference of his owner
would have drowned his assail-
ant. When the bulldog was
taken from his grip, it was found
that he had set his teeth through
his brass collar, perforating 1t
as though it had been paper.

Business men can save money
by having bill heads printed.
The latest postal law is that a
bill made out with pen and ink
with a printed head can be sent
through Uncle Sans mails for
one cent, whilst if made out on
imprinted paper, full letter post
age will be charged. However,
the sender must be careful to
write no additional matter, such
as "please remit account o.
verdue," "will send balance of
order in few days." etc., be-
cause any such addition is cor
respondcnce of a personal nature
and subjects the party receiv-
ing the same to a rating up on
the letter. Receipts for money
paid, whether signed by writ
ten or printed name, are always
subject to letter rates, whether
in sealed or unsealed envelope.

The American Chemist says
that a Western farmer discover
ed many years ago that wood
could be made to last longer in
the ground than iron. Time
and weather, he says, seem to
have no effect on it. The posts
can be prepared for less than
two cents apiece. This is the
recipe: Take boiled linseed oil
and stir in it pulverized charcoal
to the consistency of paint. Put
"a coat of this over the timber,
and, he adds, there is not a man

A gentleman living in the
northern part of the county has
been so unfortunate as to have
lost five excellent wives. He
lately determined to erect a
tombstone at the head Of each,
commemorating her virtues,
and has only been deferred from
so doing by the expense attend
ing the carrying out of the de-
sign. Yesterday he came to the
city, a happy thought having
struck him, and arranged for
the tombstone. The five wives
were buried side by side in the
same graveyard. This is the
happy thought: The Christian
name of each wife to be on a
small stone-"Emma," "Jane, "
Mary" "Margaret," "Eliza-
beth" "a hand cut on each stone,
pointing to a large stone in the
center of the lot, and under
each hand, ''For epitaph see
large stone."

The bridegroom was not pres
ent at the time appointed for a
wedding at Harmony, Ga. The
bride, who knew his bashfulness,
said his courage had probably
failed him. Somebody suggest
ed that a horn be blown to call
him, and this was done. A re-
sponsive whoop was heard from
the woods near by, but the young
man did not appear until a scout
ing party brought him in by
force. 1t was not until he be-
came fearful of losing the girl,
whose patience gave way to an
ger, that he mastered enough
courage to face the ceremony.
