And thus relief came at last to the long
suffering peasants.
But, alas for poor Sogoro, the irrevo
cable law of the nation pronounced his
ofTense deserving of death. and he was
turned over to his legal lord for execu-
ton. mfeudal Japan the nobility held
the power Of life and death over their
peasant v~assals. and now the cruel Kot-
sukc-no-Suke, tllirsting for vengeance,
determined to destroy the whole family
of Sogoro. In vain his tenants, his sainu-
raj, his councillors. and even the princes
of the surrounding country besousht
the lord of Soma to be mcrciful: the
bloody tyrant was memorable. Sogoro
and his wife were condemned to be cruel
fied, and their three sons, aged Z, 10 and
10 respectively, were ordered to be be-
headed in the presence of their parents.
On the day Of the execution all the in
habitants of the 1876 villages of Soma
assembled to bid Sogoro and his wife
farewell and to encourage them with
their presence and prayers. There was
n o one there, even to the executioners
themselves, that did not call down the
blessing of heaven upou the martyrs,
while curses, deep and bitter, were
hurled against the hated Kotsuke-no-
Suke. After the parents were made fast
to the crosses the three boys were led
forth and beheadedi in their sight. Friends
received the bodies and bore them away
to prepare them for burial. o Man, So
ro,.o5 xutfo 4..-Nsrr ~ 1nr I.,cl,o-1 -o.I
in a cheerful voice:
Remember, my husband, that from
the first you had made up your mind to
this fate. What though our bodies be
d~isgracefully exposed on these crosses,
we have the promises of the gods before
us; therefore, mourn not. Let us fix our
minds upon death; we are drawing near
to paradise and shall soon be with the
saints. Let us ~cheerfully lay down our
lives for the good of our people,"
"Well said, wife," responded Sogoro,
gayly. II am happy because l have at
tanned my hearts desire. Our petition
was successful; had / 500 lives, and
could / 500 times assume this shape of
mine, | would die 500 times to redress
the wrongs OF our people.
Then the ex~ecutioner, taking his spear,
thrust it into the side of o Man and into
the side of her husband, and both died
there in the sight of the sorrowing peas
ants. And Kotsuke-no-Suke's chief coun-
cilor, when all was over, came and knelt
down before the dead body of the farmer
and said:
Although you were buta peasant you
saved your brethren. You bruised your
bones and crushed your heart for their
sakes. Honors shall yet be paid to your
spirit, and you shall be canonized as a
saint; you shall become a tutelar deity
among the people OF Soma"
And 50 it came to pass. The farmers
of Soma made the grave of Sogoro a place
Of prayer, and gradually came to look
upon him as divine. Finally, a temple
arose in his honor, and he wa at length
duly canonized az a Buddhist saint.

and Brakes--Ath-
let1cs.

The new league series will be COM
pleted this week. Roseville is in first
place and will undoubtedly remain there.
The team has only two more games to
play. They are to be rolled at Roseville
tonight. New York is second on the list
with two games to roll. These are to be
rolled on the Orange Clubs alleys. Jersey
City is third. 1t will roll on its W al
leys next Friday night against the Staten
Island team. Roseyille must drop two
games and New York lose one to give
Jersey City a chance OF reaching first
place-not a brilliant prospect, but bowl
ing is mighty onsartin." Jersey City
has a grand opportunity of tieiug the
New Yorks for second place.
In the general average Jersey City
leads by nearly four oints over Rose
vile, nine better than New York, fifteen
in excess OF Oxford, sixteen better than
Orange and higher than Staten
Island.

How to Live Long.

Lewis Cornaro, a noble Venetian, had
been a professed epieure and libertine till
he entered into the fortieth year of his
age. His constitution was so far reduced
by the collie, rheumatic pains, feyerS, ETC.,
that his physicians at length assured him
that he could not survive much longer
than TWO months; hat nc medicines
whatever could avert the catastrophe,
and that the only possible means of pre-
serving his life would be a regular adj
herence to a frugal diet. He punctualiy
ollowed this advice, perceived symptoms
of convalescence within a few days from
the commencement OF his plan OF refor-
nation, and after the lapse of twelve
months was not only completely restored,
but found himself in q better state OF
health than he had ever been during m
period of his life. He resolved, therefore,
TO confine himself to a still more par
simonious regimen and to take nothing
but what he judged to be absolutely re-
quisite for his support.
Thus, during sixty years, he confined
himself to exactly twelve ounces of food
a day dread and other nourlshment in
cluded), with thirteen ounces of bever-
age. 1t should be also observed that dur
ing this long period he carefully avoided
violent heat, cold, passions and extremes
of every kind, and by rigidly and uni
formly adhering to this moderate diet not
only his body but his mind also ac-
quired SO determined a tone that
40 common incidents could affect
them. At a very advanced age he lost
a lawsuit, which involved pecuniary CON
Germs of great Importance. and on nc
count of which two.of his brothers died
of broken hearts; but he still retained
his usual health and tranquility. HIS
carriage was accidentally overturned and
dragged along by the horses, in conse-
euence of which his arms and legs were
dislocate9. He caused them. however, to
be reduced again. and without any medi
cines, was in q short time restored. He
died at the age of 100.-AfcdicaJ Classics
