aomo delicious pears and
'' chicken to nuikc Borne broth
for Mar} 1 , who she learned was ill with fever,
before she proceeded to her own marketing.
But it was a pity that the lady did not see
Joseph as ho sprang into the enamber where
httle Mary lay moaning wearily on her bed,
while her mother sat stitching busily in one
corner, and held up the chicken and tho fruit,
crying ‘Good news! Good news! I’ve got all
these nice things for Mary, and a place at two
dollars a week ?’
Oh! how little Mary’s hot fingers closed
over the bunches of white grapes, while the
sewing dropped from her mother’s fingers, as
the tears ran down her cheeks.’
It was evening, and Mrs. Beach sat in the
library absorbed in some new book, when she
heard her husband’s step in the hall. Thpugh
the morning had been pleasant, tho afternoon
was cloudy, and tho day had gone down in
low, sullen, penetrating rain.
Now, Mrs. Beach loved her husband with the
love of a true wife, but he was not a demon
strativc man, and the first beauty and poetry
of their married life had settled down into t
somewhat bare, every day, matter of fact ex
istence. But her heart was warm to-night—
warm with good deeds of the day, and rcmcrn-
bering.the resolution of the morning, she threw
down her book and ran down stairs.
•Heniy, dear,’ said the soft voice of his wife,
‘has the rain wet you at all ? Let me take
off your coat for you.’
‘Thank you, Mary: I don’t think I am any
wise injured, but you may help me, just for
the plcasuro of it,” and he stood still while
she removed the heavy coat, with all that soft
ness of touch and movement which belong : to
a woman. She hung it up, and then her hus
band drew her to his heart with all the old
love’s tea'demese.
And there was music in Mrs. Beach’s heart
as she went up stairs—munc set to the words,
•Eyes open.' eyes open!’
IIo\v major Audrc met his Fate.
Although Andre’s request as to the mode
of his death was not to be granted, it was
thought best to let him remain in uncertainty
on the subject; no answer, therefore, was re
turned to hisnote. On the morning of the 2d he
maintained a calm demeanor, though all round
him were gloomy aud silent. He even rebuk
ed his servant for shedding tears. Having
breakfasted, he dressed himself with care in
the full uniform of a British officer, which] lie
had sent for to New York, placed his hat up
on the table, and accosting the officers on
guard, “ I am ready," said he, “ at any mo
ment, gentlemen, to wait upon you.” He
walked to tho place of execution between two
subaltern officers, arm in arm, with a serene
countenance, bowing to several gentlemen
whom ho knew. Col. Talmadgc accompanied
him, and we quote his words: “ When he
came within sight of the gibbet he appeared to
be startled, and inquired with some emotion
whether he was not to bo shot ? Being in-
formed that the mode first appointed for his
death could not consistently he altered, he ex
claimed, ‘How hard is my fate!’ but immedi
ately added, ‘ it will soon be aver.’ 1 then
shook bands with him under the gallows, and
retired."
While waiting near the gallows until pre
parations wero made, says another authority,
who was present, he evinced somo nervous
ness, putting his foot on a stone and rolling it,
and making an effort to swallow, as if check
ing an hysterical affection of the throat. All
things being ready, he stepped into the wagon,
appeared to shrink for an instant, but recov
ered himself, exclaiming. It will be but a
momentary pang 1” Taking off his hat and
stock, and opening his shirt collar, he deliber
ately adjusted the noose to his neck, after
which he took out a hankcrchicf and tied it
over his eyes. Being told by tho officer in
command that his arms must be bound, he
drew ont a second handkerchief, with which
they were pinioned. Col. Scammcl now told
him that he had an opportunity to speak, if he
desired it. His only reply was, “ I pray you
to bear witness that I meet my fate like a brave
man. The wagon moved from under him and
left him suspended. He died almost without
a struggle. lie remained suspended for about
half an hour, during which a deathlike still
ness prevailed ov er the surrounding multitude.
His remains were interred within a few yards
of the place of his execution; whence they
were transferred to England in 1821. by the
British Consul then resident in New York, and
wero buried in Westminster Abbey, near the
marble monument which had been erected to
his memory.—7rring’s Lijc of George lFash

Arc we to iiave a Iiard Winter!
The New York Evening Post is anxious lest
the comirercc of that city may be obstructed
during the coming winter by ice in tho harbor.
For tho comfort of our contemporary, we will
state that in this region the knowing ones arc
prophesying a mild winter. Tho corn husks
arc said to be remarkably thin—a sure sign
in the rural districts, that tho winter will not
be severe. A friend at our side assures us
that observation, continued during a series of
years, led him to a full belief in the reliability
of this indication.
In this connexion wo would also like to ask
those who are scientific in matters of climatol
ogy whether thero is any reason to suppose
that the dryness of several preceding seasons
has any thing to do, in way of the cause and ef
fect, with their coldness 1 or whether the dry
ness and coldness depend upon similar causes?
The “solid men" of Boston arc in a fever of
excitement concerning tho reported defalcation
in that city of Mr. Samuel Lawrence, the
senior member of the firm of Lawrence, Stone
&. Co., agent of the Bay State Mills and other
manufacturing corporations. From tho ac
PHtfterwards Mrs. Beach was on her
; ',* e ‘~ior she was a notable house-
sZjv* 1 ? die met a boy who had lived a
her family the year before, to do
KL,; 00 a? door, &c. He was a ^^bjchVpuVlish elsewhere of tho af
fair, it appears that Mr. Lawrence was treas
urer of the Bay State Mills, and employed the
credit of tho company in this fprivato specula
tions to tho amount of half a million dollars, or
thereabout. It furthermore appears that the
functions of treasurer and agent have in this
instance become so mingled as to make it
quite uncertain upon which pffico the alleged
deficit should fall. It is certain, however,
that the stock of the company was offered on
Saturday at 124 per cent on the par (SI,000)
without finding a purchaser, and that manu
facturing stocks in Massachusetts have receiv
ed a blow from which they will not soon re
cover.
A Literary Tonng Lady.
Wo were conversing with a young lady
somo few evenings ago, at a literiry reunion,
and as 6ho had been introduced 8£ a poetess,
wo of course touched on poetry. It was not
many minutes before she had run through tho
stereotyped list of favorite authors, when she
concluded with Byron, asserting her convic
tion that he was the greatest that ever wrote:
Wc modestly hinted that we preferred Shak-
sneare, upon which, with an unaffected laugh
at our simplicity, she cried “Why Shake
speare won’t a poet; "his plays don't rhyme.

A Valuable Crop.—The Ohio wool clip is
estimated to exceed that of lfioG by at least
three million pounds. 1 he counties in the
centre of that State are not" as famous for
their fine wool as they formerly were for their
great crops of wheat. Tho estimated value is

Main Trunk.
The benefits to bo derived by the State of
Georgia and her people by the construction of
this Railroad are absolut ely incalculable. From
tho initial point to the Alapaha river, the coun
try through which it will pass, is unprepossess
ing in appearance, but is really rich and pro
ductive- Up to tho last two years, it has been
our buuiness to travel biennially through this
country for the fourteen years proceeding,
and wc have always been struck with the
flourishing condition of the crops in the sum
mer season. There was one field which was
planted every year in corn, and the last crop
that wc saw growing upon it appeared to bo as
fruitful ns the first—being fifteen to twenty
bushels per acre. The old .gentleman who
owned and planted it, said that it had been in
cultivation- without rest, for thirty years, and
that the diminution of the yield was very in
considerable.—This field was in what is now
Clinch county. There are thousands upon
thousands of acres lying wild and uncultiva
ted, scattered throughout this section, equally
productive, and only waiting the magic of the
steam whistle, to yield their rich treasures to
the industrious farmer. Sea island cotton
grows finely here—we have known as much as
a bag to be gathered to the acre. When the
road shall have passed the Alapaba, and pene
trated the wealthy counties oi Lowndes and
Thomas, large streams of trade and travel will
flow into it, swelling the profits of the State
and tho private stockholder. When it reaches
Thomasvillc a new era in its history will have
opened up. A short road of thirty miles will
connect it with the three hundred millions of
commerce that ^oats annually on the broad
bosom of the Mexican Gulf, and a road of fifty
five miles running north, will connect us with
the rich country of our Cherokee brethren,
and indeed with the whole of the wealth-teem
ing West. As the Main Trunk penetrates the
rich counties of Decatur and Early, and final
ly greets the dashing waters of the Chattahoo
chee, all along, almost at every step, and at
thctcrminu8, it will meet fresh tides of wealth,
which like the tides of the ocean, we hope, will
ebb and flow over it twice every twenty-four
hours.
This is no faucy sketch, but will prove a
bright realitv should tho system be carried out.
Shall the Main Trunk fail, for want of set
tlement between the contending parties ?—Or
in the event of failure to settle, shall it be lost
for want of suitable legislation ? God forbid
Blowing' from a Cun.
A medical officer of this Presidency, says
the Bombay Gazette, conspicuous for his
bravery and gallantry during some of tho late
disturbances, gives a description of an “execu
tion parade,” which is terribly graphic:
“This first parade was a horrible sight, hut
the blowing away from guns is most appalling.
After the explosion, the grouping of the men’s
remains in front of each gun was various and
frightful. One man’s head was perched upon
his back, aud ho was staring round as if look
ing for his legs aud arms. All you see at the
time is a cloud like a dust storm, composed of
shreds of clothing, burning muscle and friz-
zingfat, with lamps of coagulated blood.—
Hero and there a stomach or a liver comes fal
ling down in a stinking shower. One wretch
ed fellow slipped from the rope by which he
was tied to tho gun, ja$t before the explosion,
and his arm was nearly set on fire. While
hanging in his agony to the gun, a sergeant
applied a pistol to his head and three times the
cap snapped, the man each time wincing from
the expected shot. At last a rifle was fired
into the back of his head, and the blood pour
ed out of the noso and mouth like water from
a briskly handled pump. This was the most
horrible sight of all. 1 have seen death in all
forms—never anything to equal this man’s
end.”
Fcnnv Contretemps.—At the late Agri
cultural Fair at Peoria, the Hon. Stephen A.
Douglas heard his name loudly and vociferous
ly called from the judge’s stand. Supposing
irobably that he was called upon for a speech,
le immediately climbed up on the platform,
where he ascertained that the call was upon
one of his namesakes, to whom the committee
had awarded a premium of a silver goblet for
being the second best three year old Durham
bull calf on the ground.—[Alton Courier.
A Haro Stone.—About the hardest case
ever heard of was a murderer named Stone,
executed many years since, in Exeter, N. H.
Just before the rope was placed around his
neck, he requested the sheriff to give him a
mug of ale. Tho request being promptly ac
ceded to, he took the mug and commenced
blowing the froth from the ale.
What are yon doing that for ?” nervously
asked the Sheriff.
Because,” returned the stubborn wreth,
I don’t think froth is healthy!”
Slave Vessels.—Three of the slave vessels
recently captured and taken into Havana are
said to have been built with Boston and Port
land capital, and when captured, Eastern peo
ple were on board as officers and part of the
crews. Another of the vessels had been owned
by parties in Massachusetts, Maine and New
York, aud was sold with tho knowledge that
she was intended for the slave trade. One
had 4G0 Africans on board, and anolacr 11G.
Tue Boston Banks.—A meeting of the
Banks of Boston was held last week to discuss
the propriety of partially resuming specie pay
ment. No action was taken in the matter,
it.appearing imprudent to take the proposed
step just at present.
In a jolly company, each one was to ask a
question. If it was answered, the proposer
mid a forfeit; or if he could not ^mswer it
limself, he paid a forfeit. Pat’s question wos:
—"How the little ground squirrel digs his hole,
without showing any dirt about tho entrance?”
When they all gave it up, Pat said: “ Sure,
do you see, he begins at the other end of the
hole.” One of the rest exclaimed : “But how
does he get there ?” “ Ah!” said Pat, “that’s
your question—can you answer it yourself?”
Old and Neiv Definitions of Egd-Sock-
ino.—“ You sec, grandmother, we perforate
an aperture in the apex, and a corresponding
aperture in the base, and by applying tho egg
to the lips, and forcibly inhaling the breath,
the shell is entirely discharged of its contents.”
“Bless my soul!" cried tho old lady, “what
wondrous improvements they do make! No*rl
in my young days, they just made a hole in
both ends and sacked.”
A “Long-Eared Grammarian.”—Uncle
Isaac was a great stickler for grammar. He
always stuck to it that tho adjective good ad
mitted of no degree of comparsion: “ For,”
stud, he, * ‘what is good, is good enough.”
One day, brother Jake wa3 reading aloud
tho adventures of an unlucky and not remark
ably bright youth. When lie came to the
sentence, “Long ero Joe returned,” Uncle Ike
jddenly interrupted him for tho seventeenth
time—
Tut, boy! that’s very bad grammar—
read correctly—long-car’d—there is no such
compound adjective as long-car.”
