entitled to the first prize, lie sentence which we have constructed is an easy one, so that
any child of school age can compete, with a good chance for obtaining the prize.
To make the requirements as plain and simple as possible, both for the children ,an for the
Judges, who will have all the answer to look over THE Hustler will print on Monday, Octo
ber 29, a blank containing full instructions and seven blank spaces, similer to this:
"J j i j p, in which the contestant is to paste or pin the seven words, which must

Et is much more important that he should be able to consult the Britannica than
that he should be with good capon liued.
The justice who succeeds in meeting out even-banded justice to
brought oefore him must be well read as well as a wise man . To get a contest it
view of hifthan uatura, he should study bis Shakespeare in connection with Britan
nica. Inrthe cbwree of bis duty meacome before him in every one of the seven agra
by Shakespeare. The cultivated jns’ica will know that the idea of the
’world baing a stage, aud the division of life into seven ages, did not qrginete with
the great poet. In the the old play of “Dun >n and Pythias” we have; Pytbagosaw
•aid th'tl thia world was like a stage, whereon many play their parte. It the Trees*
of Modern Times. 1613, is a division of the life of man into seven ages, said to
be taken from Proclus, au d it appears Brc-wu’s \ ulgar Errors that Hippo*
crates also divided mana life into seven degrees or stage* l , though he differs from-
Proclui iu the uumdqr of years to each stage. I r. Handley mentions an
old emblematical print entitled tbe Stage of Man’s Life D vided Into Seven ages,
from which he thinks Shakespeare more likely to havi iak*u b:a hint than from
Hippocrates of Proe gg. Shakespeare used tbe same idea more thsn once in bis
p!ays.
The reader may now be under the impression that the writer of this article is a
well-poated man and a special student of universal literature, but this is a mistake
-agrave error-for the writer knows very little of universal litrtaitureor universal
anything, fat with auch a universal authority as Briteuu:ca,at his elbow be is wiU

Not enh- will il e P arv«*rne-ry.d justice find plenty of wise saws in the Encyclo
paedia Britannica, but he will also find abundance of modern instance*.
The cost is now to be considered, for he, ike tbe poorest petitmner that oomra
before him, can obtain the full libiary of 28 volumes, with a booker, at priera
aud terms so liberal as to be a'm -t startling, for if he is a subscriber to The News'
he is entitled to The News’ special introductory prices, and has tbe privilege of

AN INCIDENT OF
THE LATE WAR
[Th« following incident of th*-
war of the North to free the negros
in the South, was related to me by
Mr. W. .J.Parnell the sou of G. W.
Parnell who is the hero of the, ad
venture, aud is true. It happened
during the fighting around Mur
r'resbt ro Tenn ]
For two years the sword ha<i
b°en drawn, the scabbard thrown
away and lo*t, many a brave heart
had sheathed the thrusted blade *
the thirsty earth bad many tixn*-
elecked its thirst in human blood
and lethal winds shrieked of death
i i every boreal blast.
Tb« time is a wintery sight. The
scene is near Aiurfresboro Ten
nessee.
Out from the darkness of a som
bre thicket, into the fields adjoin
ing issued a horseman, cautiously
peering into the gloom, be stands
for a moment with ear bent iuw to
catch any noise that would betray
the proximity ’of human beings
He wears a heavy military cloak
closely buttoned over his breast
and turned up at the collar. In the
dense shadows hie form can only
be dimly outlined,but where thus
it can be seen that he is very slan
der and of medium bight.
Five minutes in this listining at
itude stands horse and rider the
former intelligent animal seems
to know hie rider wishes to pre
serve utmost silence for as by a
low word the soldier urges him for
ward, he moves as gingerly as if
his life depended upon his remain
ing unperceived. The field is al
most across, when out from the
woodland near by darts a score of
or more cavalrymen and charge
upon the single horsemen; before
he can turn io fly they are upon
him, saber flashing jand pistols in
hand. It is d?a’h to resist an d
death to surrender !sO with attliil
cer«d imprecation at the ill luck
! that brings his foes upon him, be
bas drnwn bis sword and pistol
i and as the caiveroade came abreast
‘ of him be filed right into the face
of the men on his left, and with
i his sword cute the man on bis
right down. But before h- can
make a second ihrust his sword is
knocked from his hand by a pistol
ball and he is a prisoner.
The prisoner wears the uniform
; of a Union Cavalry man,and head-
I quarters being reached is searched
for condemnatory papers and as the
search is thorough, carefully con
cealed in the lining of his coal
cellar thedamning evidence of his
being a Confederate spy is found
That night he is court-martialed,
ound guilty of the most heinous
•rime in naval or military warfare
—that of spying—and is condemn
ed to be hung on th** third day at
sunrise.
The first rosy Hash of that fata I
day steals into the cheek of the
sky, and as the moments
go by the pink of the eastern lip of
the horizon deepens and broadens
until the whole face of the sky is
crimson as a sweet girl at the first
low breath of whispered loro; and
now it is aflame, for yonder slowly
opens th eye of day whore the lid
of the earth meets that of the sky.
As the ran leaves the rim of the
world aud floats out into the heav
ens, a dosen horsemen are seen ap
proaching a huge oak tree, whose
long arms roach far out as if to
afford shelter from the sun aud
nun to any paseer-by.
Halting banrath sou
of the forest aud emblsm of
strength, the party dismount* and
as they do so it may be seM that
one of their number is a prisoner,
from the fact that his hands are
tiod behind, while the man nearest
nim bears a long hampen ropo.
The prisoner is the one captured
three nights before He is very
pale in spite of the natural dark
ness of hie skin. B«l theie is bo
fear displayed iu the bletk flash
ing eye as they shoot defiance al
fits executioners. There is ao tremor
about the firmly set Ups. is de
termined to die a- biomes a
Southern gentleman and a South
ern soldier.
And as he strokes tbe long raven
locks from hie fac<» there is that
•nejesty about him whieh always
♦ccompauiee -the triumph of
righteous fearlessness over the
horrors es death, and whicl |uiay so
lasily be distinguished from the
materialism of simulated brav
ery.
After a few unceriinonious pre
tentions tbe noose is thrown over
'be prisoners head, the other end
being thrown over a limb of the
tree. A score of Yankee bands grasp
the loosened end aud begin to draw
it taunt when—
Crack I bang!
Andas the report of the shot
floats off on the morning breezes
two of the Yankee executors fall
dead while three others give a cry
of pain, aud the whole detacment
quietly mount their horses and are
away leaving their prisoner behind
unhurt, before tbe Johnny Re be
can reach them. A. parting salute
is given tbe fleeing Yankees which
brings down abdther man.
Hastily releasing the now happy 1
spy they gallop back to the <
Rebels camp where arousing chew i
greets them. ,
A Confederate spy had p*iiertr«- (
ted the Union entered the r
camps add there learning the fat- '

returned to the Confederate bne i
and there counterplotted the little
