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 ington. From the Chicago Tribune, Nor. 4. 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. —Toledo Blade. 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 SG,000,000. From the Tkomasville Wire Grass Beporter. 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.” My dear,” said a wife to her husband’ did you ever read of the plague in London ?’, No I don’t want to read of it; it is enough to have a plague in my own house.
