Taken From One ol Tulnmtf’* !■»•«'•
In the troubled times of Scotland
Sir John Cochrane was condemned to
death by the king. The death war
rant was on the way. Sir John Coch
rane was bidding farewell to his
daughter Grizellie at the prison
door. He said: "Farewell, my dar
ling child; I must die.” His daugh
ter said: “No, father, you shall not
die.” “But,” he said, "the king is
against me, and tho law is after 08^
and tho death warrant is on its way,
and I most die; do not deceivo your
self, ray dear child.” Tho daughter
said, “Father, yon shall not die !” as
she left the prison gate. At night, on
the moors of Scotland, a disguised
wayfarer stood waiting for the horse-
mnn carrying the mail bags contain
ing the death-warrant. The, disguised
wayfarer, as the horse came by, dlntch-
ed the bridle and shouted to the rider
—to tho man carrying the mail-bags:
“Dismount 1" He felt for his weap
ons, and was about to shoot, but the
wayfarer jerked him from his saddle
ami he fell flat The wayfarer picked
>1]. the mail-bags, put them on his
shoulder, and vanished in the dark-
nei s, and fourteen days thus gained
foi the prisoner's life, during which
the father confessor was pleading for
t lie pardon of Sir John Cochrane by
the king. The second time the death
warrant is on its way. The disguised
wax fin er comes along and asks for a
h tie bread and a little wine, starts on
across the moor, and they say: “Poor
mail, to have to go out such a Htormx
higlii; it is dark, und yon will lose
.•••nrself on the moors.” “O, no," he
-axs, “I will not,” He trudged on
no stopped amid the brambles and
waited for tho horseman to eotne enr-
rxing the mail-bags containing the
death-warrant of Sir John Cochrane.
'1 lie iimil-cnrrier spurted on bis steed
—for he xvas fearful because of what
had occurred in the former journey—
when suddenly through the darkness
there was a flash of tire-arms and the
borso became unmanageable, and as
tho mail-carrier discharged bis pistol
in response tho horse threxv hint, and
the disguised wayfarer put his foot on
the breast of his overt hr. ovn rider and
said, “Surrender! Give up your arms
or die!” The mail-earner surrender
ed his arms, and the disguised way
farer put upon his shoulders the mail
bags, leaped upon the horse and sped
invay in the darkness, gaining fom-
teen more days for ttir poor prisoner,
•Sir John Cochrane, and beforo the
fourteen days bad expired pardon bad
come from tbe king. The door of the
prison swuug opeu and Sir John
Cochrane was free. One day when
ho xvas standing amid bis frionds, re
ceiving their congratulations, tho dis
guised xvnyfaror appeared at tho gate,
and ho said, "admit him at once."—
The disguised wayfarer came ill tiud
said, “Here aro two letters; read
them, sir, and cast them into the tire."
Sir John Cochrane read them. They
xvcrc his txvo death warrants, and he
threxv them into tbe file. Then said
Sir John Cochrane^To whom aiu I
indebted ? Who i^wj* poor xvayfar-
er that savtfit* my We? Wtftt is it V”
And tho wayfarer turned nsiae and
pulled ofl’the jekin and the ctmk mid
the hat, aud lo !> it xvas Grizelie, the
daughter of Sir John Cocwttfie.—
“Gracious /Heavens 1” he cridn, “my
child, my saviour, my oxvn Grizellie.”
Bat a more thrilling story. Tbe
death xvurrant had come foith from
the King of Heaven nml earth. The
death xvuirant read: “The sopl that
siiiueth, it shall die." The death
warrant coming on the black horse of
eternal night. We must die! We
must die ! But breasting the storm
and putting out through the darkness
xvas a disguised wax furor who gripped
by the bridle the oncoming doom and
llung il back, aud put His xvoiiudcd
aud bleeding foot uu the overthrown
rider. Meanwhile, pardon flashed
from the throne—go free ! Opeu the
of Hit throne and tb# dis
guise of the seamless robes, you find
be is bone of your bone, flesh of your
flesh, your brother, your Christ, your
pardon, yoar eternal life. Let all
earth and heaven break forth in vo
ciferation. Victory through our Lord
Jesus Christ 1

At th^bafte of Grovetown, Spofte
wall Jtc^n iried anjkmiaBt
which nearly frightened a Federal di
vision out of their boots. Burs of
railroad iron were cut up into foot
lengths and fired from some of bis
heaviest guns, uud tbe Doise these
missiles made as they weut sailing
through the air xvas a sort of
a cross between the shriek of u wo
man and the bray of a ninle. Tbe
Federals listened with wonder at the
first fexv which banged through the
tree tops, and presently one of the
pieces fell jnst in front of a Pennsyl
vania regiment A Captain stepped
forward f<> inspect it, and after tam
ing it over be rtishen'to his colonel
with tbe news:
“Colonel, them infernal robs are
tiring railroad iron at us!”
"No!”
"Tbey aye for a fact!"
“Captain, advance your company
to that ridge and deploy, and the miu-
ute yon find Jackson is getting ready
to tire freight cars at us send me
word. I don't propose to have my
regiment mashed in the ground when
it can jnst us well be decently exter
minated iu the regular way!”
The Chinese have a strong liking
for all countries where gold ininin;
iB carried on. It was the gold mines
that first took them to California, and
they have flocked to the Australian
gold regions in great numbers. In
tbe province of Victoria they have
been very prosperous, many of their
merchants having amassed princely
fortunes. Tho same prejudice exists
agniust them there, however, us
in America, and they nre accused of
every crime. Not only petty thefts,
but big frauds of quite a civilized
character are laid to their account.—
Smuggling, too, Inis been most sue-
ceHsftilly curried on by them, :tml not
long ago the customs officers seized
$50,00(1 north of smuggled goods in
the liuiniN of one Chim-se merchant.
A theatrical man at Chicago
thought it xvoilld he smart to make a
friend who slept with him believe that

the night, and with stage paint lie
painted his face with smallpox pus
tules, mid went to sleep. The inno
cent man woke up iu the morning
aud lool ed at his friend, and finding
him broken out, ho went out quietly
and notified the health - fficers, ami
they came witti an iimlmlmice to take
