BT HAItHIET K. S. CRBSBV. “I must have my pay right off, so you may as well stir around and get it. ■or there'll be a fuss!” said tho haughty Mr. Starbuck to a poor man who owed him a small sum of money. , “ Well,” replied the humble fellow whom we Will call Jack Styles, “I will pay yon next week without fail. Peter Fanley and is owing me enough to pay it he i3 coming over to Butcher John son’s next Tuesday with a beef critter will and he will then pay me, and I * hand it over to you.” “ Mind you do, or you’ll be sent month np tor a or two!” was the reply. This threat seemed hard and uncalled for, as Jaofc always paid his debts when ever he could; but ho had been very unfortunate all through the hard winter, and now needed a little time to pay the debts that had accumulated He had been very iil with rheumatism for a month or two; beside, his wife aud. two children had been sick with fevers, and his doctor’s bill had amount ed to more than he had earned; for when ho could work his help had been needed at home, and work had been scarce, and it was with difliculty ho had found anything to do when he was able to do it. Old Starbuck knew all this • and knew also that Jack was an honest fellow: but no always was very hard with Jack the poor and unfortunate. Very took the cruel threat much to heart, and fretted himself nearly into a fever for two or three days. What if Fanley It hardly should disappoint iiim, after all? seemed possible he would, for the butcher hud the promise of the >’,v for the following Tuesday; but Fanley lived some eight miles away, and something might happen that hie would not come with her. Oh, ho hoped there would not; for he had a great horror of a jail, and had never been threatened like that before. Thank God, mon are nor. now im prisoned for debt in the State where Jack then lived; but such was the law at that time; and many a poor man, though honest, was thrust into prison, and his family left in want, for the reason that he could not pay his debts. What possible good such a iaw could do we have never been able to see, as it only filled np the jails, made expense for the State, and deprived tho family of the help they needed, beside placing the culprit in a condition to earn noth ing to relieve himself of the debt for which he was imprisoned. Perhaps it prevented some from running into debt as much as they otherwise would; in this respect it might have done some 8°°d Well, Tuesday came and. Jack kept a good lookout for Fanley and his cow, who, in going to the butcher’s, would • ave to pass his house. About 11 ■o’clock of that forenoon a boy came sunning that to his house to inform him both m%» and cow were on the wav thither, but the latter had fallen inlo thh snow, and he was a little afraid she was dead. Jack sprung and ran with all his might to the place wi-ere the e.o„ was lying, which was a half mile from his house; and there, to his utter ..k-, spau 1 , the creature Was sprawled on the snow, stone dead. .Vliat could have been the matter with her?” asked Jack, greatly excited, “ Don’t know, I’m ’less ’tis she’s trampmg’in sure, wornt to death the snow.” Jack locked at the bloated animal and surmised that Something more than fatigue had caused the dissolution. But a sled and yoke of oxen were procured and the carcass drawn to Butcher John* ebn, wlio, after making a post-mortem examination, found that tho deceased came to her death from dropsy, undue fatigue from tramping in the snow has t-ening the event.

At the sight of Jesse the man turned as pale as death and looked as if ho were about to sink to tho earth. Biding close to him, Jesse said: “Did not you know that I would kill you for the language you used toward my mother? If you have anything to say do it quickly, for you have only a short time live.” ' to J««t at this time tho wife of the aj> patently doomed man came screaming ollt of the house begging Jesse not to kill her husband. With a stern com mand of “ Get back into the house, I mads,me, quick,” the woman went m weeping bitterly, and with strained nerves she awaited the dread crack oi Jesse’s revolver, which wonld make her a widow. Turning to the trembling man before him, Jesse said: “ Get down your’sius on your knees aud ask forgiveness for before I kill you.” middle Dropping down on his knees in the of the public road the man of fered up such a prayer to Ahni rhty God as was never heard in the old county of Olay.

Mr. Chancellor dnring the prayer glanced several times at Jesse, who with drawn pistol sat sternly on his horse looking at the prayer'; tup pliant before him. Before the was concluded the stem lines upon Jesse’s face seemed to relax from tin ir wonted severity, and hope dawned npon the mind of the gentleman that Jesse would relent from his stem pur- i pose. , At the conclusion of the prayer the man closed biB eyes and awaited tho ex pected shot that would send him to eternity. But he was not destined to die. The beautiful words cl snppli cation had touched the better chords of Jesse’s heart, and the demon within him was subdued. Addressing the still kneeling man, he said: “I ought to Kill j you, but for the sake of your wife I will i give yon six hours to get out of this country.
