A Hangman Tried For His Life.
rD.rr Mn c.

Berlin has just had most extraordinary sen.
sational trial-curious, indeed almost without
parallel among the records of crime. The hang
man has been accused of assassination and tried
for his life. OF course it was question of
jealousy. The Berlin executioner does not
lead very moral life. He is a married man
with family, and he deserted both, and the
poor wife soon had a rival. But he also de-
serted the rival in her turn. The dry statistics
of the law courts read like the argument in
some ingenious play. The abandoned mistress
longed to recover her supremacy. One would
not have thought a hangman capable of so
much attraction. She tried every means to
gain her object, and at last in despair had re-
course to the executioner's assistant and right
hand man, whom she knew, and whose influ-
enee over him was great. There were inter
views between the two hangmen, but matters
did not advance. There was an angry inter-
view at a restaurant in the course of which the
chief kicked his abide camp in the stomach
The injury was more serious than 1t scanned
and a month afterward the poor go-between
died. All sorts OF evidence was given at the
trial, and the Jury were mercifnl in their yer.
diet But the criminal classes of Berlin were
greatly disappointed. 1t would have been in-
teresting, they seemed TO have thought, if the
new hangman had to try his prentice hand on
his predecessor.

InEerson's Grafton ut ChiId's Grave.

Nv friends. know how vain It is to gid
a grief with words, and yet 1 wish to take
From every grave its fear. Here in this world.
Where life and death are equal ngs, all should
Be brave enough 10 meet what all the dead have met
The future has been filled with fear,
Stained and polluted by the heartlsss past.
From the wondrous tree Of life, the buds
And blossoms fall with ripened iruit,
And in the common bed OF earth old men
And babes sleep side by side.
Why should We fear that which will come 70 all
That is? We can not tell; We do not know
Which is the greater blessing, lie or death.
We can not say death is not good
We know not whether the grave be the end
OF this life or tho door Of another. or
Whether the night here is not somewhere else
4 dawn. Nor can tell which is
The more blessed, the child who dies within
its mothers arms before its liDs have learned
To form word, or he who journeys all
The length Of Lies uneven road in pain,
And takes the last slow steps with staff and crutch.
Each cradle asks us whence"
And every co Fl q "Whither?"
The poor barbarian in tears above
His dead can
Intellgently and as satisfactorily a.
The robed priest OF most authentic creed.
The fearful ignorance Of the one is just ss
Consoling as the others learned and
Unmeaning words. No human standing where
The horizon Of a life has touched grave
Has any right TO prophesy a future filed
With pain and tears. II may be death gives ell
There is of worth 10 life. If those who press
And strain against our hearts could never die,
Perhaps then love would wifher from the earth;
May be a co mmon fate does tread from out
The paths between our hearts the weeds
OF seldshness, and should rather live
And love where death is king than have
Eternal life where love is not
Another life is naught, unless we know
And love again the ones who love us here
They who stand with breaking hearts around
This little grave need have no fear. The larger and
The nober faith In all that is, and is to be,
Tells us that death. cen at his worst
Is only perfect rest. We know that through
The common wants Of Lie, the needs
And duties that each have, their grief
VIII lessen day by day, until at last
These graves will he 10 them place
OF rest and peace, almost Of Joy.
There is for them this consolation:
The dead do not suffer. And If they live
Again their lives will surely be as good
As ours. We have no fear; VIC are
All children Of the self-same mother and
The self-same fate awaits Us all.
We. too, have our religion, and it is this:
Help for the living and hope fog the dead"

A EleHTlNe DONKEY.
He Accepts Battle From a Stallion aud
Kills His Antagonist,
IN Y World

A remarkable and fatal fight between a
a stallion and donkey occurred on Philip
Hendricks farm near Deckertown, IN
Sussex county, New Jersey. Both ami
mails were powerful and had been enemies
for weeks. The donkey was very dark
and strong and was called the knights OF
Malta" The stallion was a valuable
horse and was being trained for the race
course. The stallion and donkey were LETT
in adjoining fields. The stallion soon saw
the opportunity afforded for a fight and
tore down the field to broken piece OF
fence. The donkey happened to be d.
rectly on the other side and close to the
fence. The stallion jumped straight on
his back. landing with hls fore feet across
the donkey's back and his hind feet on
the ground toward the fence. The stallion
fastened his teeth in his enemy's neck
and at the same time struck The donkey's
side with his fore feet with a good deal ~
force.
Hendricks man Mcguire and 4 farm
hand watched the fight, which looked bed
for the donkey.
The donkey ducked its head and at the
same time elevated its heels. The stallion'
was thrown to the ground and quick as 2
fash the donkey turned around and began
a fusilade with its heels on It's prostrars
enemy. 1t kicked hard and with light
ming rapidity The hard heels OF zoe,
donkey were driven az and acaiu
into the stations body and blood vas
soon flowing freely. The horse sept q
constant whining and the donkey brayed
loud and long. In FIVE minutes the tide
OF battle turned completely. A few more
OF those terrific kicks and the stallion was
rendered helpless. The farm hands
began to fear the stallion would be killed,
so they took rails from the fence and began
beating the donkey The infuriated
animal then started for them. when the
nearly dead horse made an effort TO rise.
The donkey saw it, and before the men
could intercept him. he rushed upon his
fallen foe and, turning. gave the stallion
one tremendous kick, breaking his jaw,
and then followed it with another kick in
the stomach, tearing the flesh open and
exposing the intestines. The stallion gavs
a piteous moan and then gasp and rolied
over dead. The donkey viii survive.

The Fastest Railway Time.


The question, "How fast can locomotive
rum" has been good deal discussed recently
in the engineering papers. The conclusion APP
pears to be that there is no authentic record OF
any speed above eighty miles an hour That
speed was obtained many years ago By Bris-
toll and Exeter tank engine with nine-foot driv.
ing wheels--a long extinct speeies-down a
steep bank. But it has, apparently, never
been beaten. 1t is, indeed, not a little strange
how sharply the line appears to have been
drawn at eighty miles an hour. Records of
seventy-fve miles an hour are as plenty as
blaekberries. Records of eighty are exceed
ingly rare. Records of any greater speed
have way of crumbling beneath the lightest

Sanctified Common Sense.

How TO get the unconverted within
hearing distance of the gospel is a prob
lem in both city and country districts in
this land. If an the Christians from the
United States who are travelling in France
this year would observe carefully the
methods used in the Neal missions, and,
on their return, would explain the details
in our churches, practical way of solv-
ing the problem might be reached. We
believe that there are not more than 100
or 800 missions of this establishment in

a Vest:buIe Train For Heaven.
The Living Church.

There are some people who seem to
think they have a through ticket on a
vestibule train for heaven. Having paid
their pew rent, taken seat in the church
for pleasing Sunday service, feeling no
obligation to do anything to move the
church onward spiritually, they consider
themselves at liberty to find fault with
the minister and the choir, just as the
critical complaining passenger, who.
having paid for his ticket and secured his
berth, looks upon the train, officers and
all, as bound to be simply subservient to
his individual fancy and pleasure. Is it
not time that those who are divinely COM
mended to work out their own salvation
with fear and trembling got rid of this
passenger notion of getting to heaven?
