pantalcons behind, and held him sus-
pended over the food
Everything now depended on the
strength of buckle.
Miss Parker's blood ran cold.
Don't for Heavens sake, let go of
the bag!" she cried Don't, DEAR!
| that's a good man! You stick to the
bag, and I'll stick to you!"
Eyes, but how in thunder am to git

land what in the dickens is to be-

that's the question! Drat the cat! (
wish he had been in-Halifax before |
had ever set eyes on him!"
Don't drop the bag!" cried Miss
Parker; only hold on minute lon
ger, and I'll save you BOTH"
The woman was heroine in her
small way. She had got a hooked
stick, and, creeping out on the body
of the tree, she reached down the hook,
and inserted it in the mouth of the
bag. Very gently and carefully Dick,
and the bag, and the ballast it contain
ed were transported to terra firma; but
alas! Miss Parker's foot slipped,
through some Encouragement, and she
would have gone into the water had
she not caught by the old gentleman's
very stocky legs and held on.
Gracious Peter!" cried the luckless
old man, Them straps and bucklesll
bust up now for sartin! Let so my legs,
old woman! You're pulling my j'ints
clean apart"
But Miss Parper kept her hold, and
her companion waxed angry and kick
ed. That kick was fatal. There was a
sound Of cloth tearing, and tailor's
truck going to ruin generally, and the
next moment the unlucky pair were
floundering in the water. Fortunately
the river was not deep, and they only
got a very thorough wetting. Both
crept ashore, looking very limp and
very much subdued.
Miss Parker opened the bag and Sc

Il beg your pardon, maam," said the
old gentleman, "for what l was going
to do to your cat. | supposed he was
stray one, and he ate ten of my
choicest chickens. My name is Payson,

"And mine is Parker" said the lady,
blushing, and beginning to notice that
Mr.. Payson was not much above forty,
and very nice-looking man.

roster than ever.
"a very fine animal that is" said
Mr. Payson, stroking Dicks back

that he had such very intelligent
face"
He must be heavy let me carry him
home for you?" said Mr.. Payson.
"Oh, no." said Miss Parker; Il real
ly couldn't think Of it. You will take
cold in your Observation-Disclosures.
But Mr. Payson laughed at the idea
of wet pantaloons, and walked home
with Miss Parker, though Dick wiggled
out of his hands at once and trotted
behind with a very self-satisfed air,
as if thoroughly conscious that he had
brought it all about.
OF course, you know that Mr.. Pay
son married Miss Parker, else l should
never have written this story, and
Dick is very fondly cherished by them

cRUEsoME TASTES.

VAT is ARE told that wicomico coun-
w ~. Maryland, has just had its
hrst hanging which is remarkable; but
we are also told that at this execution
the people broke down the fence OF the
Jail yard TO witness the spectacle, and
that several thousand persons assem-
bled later in the day TO see the exc
cution, not knowing that 1t had taken
place.
We wonder why anybody wants to
see an execution; j. seems impossible,
that no matter how brutal the crime Of
the condemned person, the gruesome
spectacle Of an execution affords pleas
ure TO spectators Yet unless a hang

OF prison there is always a mob
