EXECUTION.  through the tree-tops—all those sweet indefinable sounds you only hear when "far from the madding crowd," but which play their part in the grand symphony. Down the long, winding lane, over the broad meadow, and on the sunny bank by the wayside are peeping up amid the emerald grass, the gem-like flowers of Spring. " Daffodils that come before the swallow dares," and "violets dim, but sweeter than the lids of Jono's eyes," mingled with "pale primroses that die unmarried," and the daisy, "that silver shield with boss of gold." The alder wears a dark gloss of green, the hazel and willow have hung out their catkins, and the marsh is gay with the bright orange flowers of the marsh mari:?old. In all this floral beauty there is a silent harmony, which is, at the same time, in perfect unison with those winged voices, rich, abundant, and varied as they are in the glades and groves of our, on the whole, not disagreeable country. C. W., in the Edw.  HENRY WILLIAM YOUNG, shoemaker, aged 27, was executed at Dorchester Prison on Monday morning, for the murder of Percival John Ingo, his wife's illegitimate child. at Poole, under vrry brutal circumstances, last February. Berry, of Bradford, was the executioner. The culprit, who had lost a leg by an accident when a child, was visited by his relatives during the week, and to them, in the presence of the chaplain, he made a full confession of his crime. Although by no means, till within a few days of the execution, resigned to his fate, the culprit has been most attentive to the ministrations of the chaplain. At times he was very much depressed, and frequently gave way to outbreaks of grief, in which he bitterly reproached his wife for her conduct; but on Sunday, after partaking of the Holy Communion, he became more reconciled, and frequently expressed himself ready to die. The prisoner pasaed a good night, and on rising partook of a hearty breakfast. The chaplain wai early in attendance, Holy Communion being again administered, and shortly before eight Berry was introduced, and the process of pinionine was speedily accomplished. The prisoner, who was very pallid. bat did not utter a word, walked firmly to the scaffold, which was erected in  an outbuilding at the rear of the prison, the doors of which were closed as soon as the procession reached the interior, the convict taking his placd under the beam without flinching. The bolt was drawn as the clock struck eight, and be died without a struggle. A drop of ,ft. was allowed. Reporters were admitted. The whole proceedings only occupied three minutes aid a half from the time Berry entered the cell. Tne prisoner left behind him a letter warning young men to beware of his fate.
