SO rooted was her objection to early

her father was driven to ask the near

no sympathy with the young lady and
advised that she should be forcibly

round her leg. But one point seems
TO have been missed oy the magistrate.
Liksthe hare of cookery boole celebrity,

A VERY WILD FLOWER.

within a garden once there grew
A flower that seemed the very pattern
or all propriety; none knew
She was at heart wandering slattern.
The gardener old. with care and pain,
Had trained her up as she should grow
Nor dreamed amid his labor vain
That rank rebellion lurked below.
A name sufficiently high-sounding
He diligently sought for her.
Until he thought that the "Rebounding
Elizabeth he should prefer. ~
But when grown UP the flower began
To show the tastes within her hidden;
At every chance quite wild she ran.
In spite OF being sternly chidden.
They told her beds for flowers were best;
But daily greater grew her faiiings;
Up to the fence she boldly pressed.
And stuck her head between the palings
Then to the street she struggled through.
Tearing to rags her silk attire.
And all along the road she grew,
Regardless quite of dust and mire.
you'll find her now by country ways.
A tattered tramp, though comely yet.

only natural After the first ebullition
of feeling they turned to give us-the
six doomed men,-their heartfelt SYM
pathies. We were not removed from
the room. They would come for us
soon after daylight.
What were our feelings? The first
sensation was that of a man coming
to after a fall which, for minute, had
deprived him of consciousness. The
next was to doubt if we had not been
asleep and dreamed it all. After that
one man sat down in corner and wept.
\ second lay at full length on the floor
with his face to the wall. A third
cursed and inveighed and hoped for
vengeance.
For most of the six the hours slowly
passed. l was still sleeping when the
soldiers came to march the six of us
out to the execution ground. We shook
hands all round, but only here and there
did one of the men trust his voice to
speak to us. Those who were TO live
seemed most affected. Their faces wero
very pale and their lips quivered.
Two by two, with soldiers on each
side, we walked with heads up, bu.
had no word for each other. There
were scores of spectators to see us, but
we kept our eyes to the front.
Halt! We have reached the grounds.
l had thought of the six of us standing
in front of the six new-made graves.
but there were neither graves nor cof-
fins. They stood us with our backs
toward brick wall, and we knew il
had been made for just such occasions
al this.
Gentlemen, your eyes-the blind

ward with several men behind him.

On the contrary, men moved about say
ing that it was what we had been en-
pecting, and that we would die like
men. Lips were. compressed, but did
not. see one pale face. This new an
nouncement created something like n
panic. Only six were to die. Thirty
two would be sent TO prison, but all OF
them would live to see home and friends
again. In 60 seconds the face Of every
man was CHASTITY. In two minutes all

abe officer, as he made ready. Each
mar must show his bean rs he draws,
and those who draw black ones must
stand over by the windows. Now, then,
are you ready?" rE
The clerk could speak and write
English, and he had our names in al
phabetical order, The first name called
was that OF Arson, and he hesitated
a few seconds before advancing. Did
anyone hope he would draw n black
bean? believe that every man of us
hoped so. 1t would better our own
chances.
