JASON CIU'.IX.
AN INCIDENT IN PENNSYLVANIA.
Tlio mist of tlio morniufr still hung
lienvily on tho mountain-top nbovo tho
villngo of ReilcliiF,but tlio roads which
led toward It wero crowded with tho
varied population of tho surrounding
country from far and near. At Ayles
bury tlio shops wcro closed ; tho ham
mer of tho blacksmith lay upon its
anvil ; not n wagon of any description
was to bo seen in the street ; nnd oven
thn bar of the tavern was locked, and
tho key gono with its proprietor toward
tho cliff, ns a token of an important era
which was without a parallel iu tho
annals of tho place. And savo hero
and lliero n solitary head looking
through a broken pnno in sorao closed
up house, with an nirof sad disappoint
ment ; or tho cries of n little nursling
wcro heard, betokening that in tho gen
eral Hlght, it had been left in unskillful
hands j or, mayhap, hero and thero a
solitary, ragged aud ill-natured school
boy wiiasoen, or n not less solitary nnel
111-nattued tlog, cither seeming but
half-appeased by tho privilcso of n hol
iday, granted on condition of staying
at home tho whole villngo exhibited
a picture of desertion and silence which
had been unknown before.
But in proportion as you drew nearer
tho ponderous cliffs, in tho midst of
which tlio littlo town of Redcliff was
situated, you mingled again in tho thick
btistlo nnd motion of the world, of men
nnd women, nnd boys, nnd horses, nnd
dogs, nud nil living, moving nnd creep
ing tilings that Inhabit tlio wild dis
tricts of Pennsylvania.
The vlllago itself was crowded to
overflowing long beforo tho sun had
gained n sufficient altitudo to throw its
rays upon tho deep valley, in which it
lay. Thero tho bar of nn inn was
crowded, and tlio fumes of tobacco and
whiskv, jingling of small change, and
tho perpetual clamor of tho throng,
wero sufficient to rack a brain of com
mon flexibility. In tlio streets, thero
WU3 a greeting of old and long-parted
aciiualntanccsj tlio bartering of horses;
the settling of old accounts ; tho buf
foonery of half intoxicated men ; tho
clatter of women ; the crying and hal
looing of children and boys, and tho
barkingnnd qunrrelingofstrnngcrdogs.
To look upon tlio (cene, to mingle
with tlio crowd, to listen to tho conver
sation, or to survoy tho countonaticcs
of tho assembled multitude, led to no
satisfactory solution of tho causo for
which this mass of heterogoncoua mat
ter was congregated.
Within tlio walls of tho old stono
jail, nt tho fool of tho mountain, u diff
erent scene had been that morning wit
nessed. Thero chained to n stnko In tho
mlsicrabloduiigcon, dump, nud ecarcoly
Hiuminnteu by ono ray ot light, now
Iny tho emaciated form of ono whoso
final doom scorned near at liaud. A
few hours before, his wife and littlo
daughter had traveled n hundred miles
to meet him onco moro on tlio threa
hold of tlio grnvo j they met, and from
that gloomy vault tho hymn ascended
with tho ascending sun ; and thoj.tilor,
ns he listened to tho melodious voices
of tlncu puisous whom hit looked upon
as tho most desolate anil lost of all in
tho wltlo world, almo3t doubted tho
ovidunco of his senses, and stood in
fixed astonishment nttho ma3slvo door.
Could theso bo tho voices of n murderer
nnd n murderer's wifo and child '.'
This brief, nnd to bo dual interview,
had passed, however j tlioso uufortuu
nto ones had loudly commended each
other lo tho keeping of their heavenly
Parent, und parted j ho to faco tho as
scinbled multitude on tho scaffold, nud
they, as they said, to roturn by weary
Journeys to their sorrowful homo. Tho
convict, worn out with sickness and
watching, uow slopt soundly.
His namo was Jason Creel ; his placo
of rosident'O said to bo iu Virginia. Ho
hud been taken up wlillo traveliug from
tho northward to his homo, nnd tried
and convicted nt n country town somo
miles distant, for tho murder of a traV'
dor, who had boruo hi in company from
tho Lakes, und was ascertained to liavo
had n largo sum of mouoy with hliu,nnd
who was found in tho room In which
thoy both slept nt n country Inn, near
Redcliff, with his throat cut.
Creel had always protoitud his liiuo
conce, declaring that tho deed was per
pctrniou by somo ono wmio ho was
asleep; but tho circumstances woro
against lilm ; and although tho monoy

was not found on hlni, ho was dcntonc
ed to bo hanged, and had been removed
to tho old stono Jail ut Redcliff for secur
ity, tlio county Jail being deemed un
safe. This wns tho day tho execution
wna to tako placo ; tho scaffold was al
ready erected i tho crowd pressed round
tho bulldltiir. and frctiuotit cries of
"Bring out tho murderer I" wcro hoard.
Tho sun nt last told tho hour of cloven,
nnd thero could In no moro dolay ; tho
convict's cell was entered by the officers
In nttondanco, who aroused him with
tlio Information that nil was ready for
lilm without, mul bado him hasten to
his execution ; they laid hands upon
him, and pinloued lilm tight, whllo ho
looked up toward heaven In wild nstou
ishmcnt, ns ono now bom, nnd only
said! "Tho dream tho dream 1"
"What dream, Mr. Jason?" said the
sheriff. "You would do mo a groat
kindno3i, if you would dream yourself
and mo out of this disagrccabio busi
ness. "
"I dreamed," replied tlio convict,
"that whllo you read tho death war
rant to mo on tho scaffold, a man camo
through tho crowd, nnd stood beforo us
in n gray drc3s, with n whlto hat nnd
largo whiskors, nnd that n bird flutter
ed over him, nnd sang distinctly : "This
is Lowls, tlio murderer of tho traveler.''
The officers nnd Jailer held a short
consultation, which ended in n deter
mination to look sharply nftortho man
in grey with whlto hat ; accompanied
with many hints of tho resignation of
tho prlaonor, and tho possibility of his
innocence being asserted by n superna
tural agency. Tho prison doors woro
cleared ; nnd Creel, palo nnd feeble,
with n hymn-book In his hand, nnd n
mien nil meekness nnd humility, was
seen tottering from tho prison to tho
scaffold. Ho had no sooner ascended It,
than his eyes began to wander over tho
vast concourso of people nround him,
wilii n scrutiny thnt seemed Hko faith
in dreams; nnd whllo tho sheriff read
tho warrant, tho convict's nnxioty ap
peared to increase; ho looked, and
look ngain ; then raised his hands nnd
oyes n moment to tlio clear sky, ns If
breathing n last ejaculntion, when lo!
as ho resumed his first position, tho
very person ho described stood within
six feet of tho ladder !
Tho prisoner's oyo caught the sight,
nnd flashed with flro whllo ho called
out : "Thero Is Lewis the murderer of
tlio traveler !" and tho jnilornt the same
moment seized the stranger by tho col
lar. At first ho attempted tooscapo;
but being secured, and taken beforo
tho magistrates, ho confessed the deed,
detailed ail tho particulars, delivered
up part of tho monoy, informed whero
another part was hidden, and was fully
committed for trial whllo Creel was
set nt liberty, nnd hastened, liko a man
out of his senses, from tho scaffold.
TJirco days had elapsed ; Creel had
anished immediately after his libera
tion, when tho pretended Lewis aston
ished and confounded tho magistrates
by declaring Creel to bo her husband ;
that she had concealed the disguiso,nnd
performed tho wholo part by ills direc
tion ; that ho had given her the monoy;
which ho had successfully concealed;
and t Ii at tlio whole from tho prison to
tho scaffold scene, was a contrlvanco to
effect his escape, which having effected
sho was regardless of consequences.
Nothing could bo dono with her sho
was set at liberty, nud noither sho nor
her husband was heard of again.
The Curious. Somo peoplo aro fond
of puzzling over curious items, nnd for
tho benefit of nil such persons tho fol
lowing conundrum or rlddlo or puzzlo
i3 insortcd among tho records of the
reading-room. In the first place, an
impossibility must bo supposed possi
ble, namoly, that n man thlrty-flvo
years old marries n girl of flvo, which
makes tho groom seven times ns old ns
tho brido. When tlio girl is ten yonrs
old tho man is forty, nnd four times ns
old ns Ills wifo ; whon sho is fifteen tho
man is forty-five, that Is threo times ns
old. Whcnsho is thirty, tho mnn is
sixty, that Is twico n3 old ns his wifo,
nnd now will somebody be good enough
to ascertain how long tboy have to livo
together to raako tlio girl ns old as the
man ! It is Just barely pnsslblo that an
answer to this question ii as impossi
ble as tho hypothesis on which tho
whole thing Is based. That is for tho
curious to ascertain, howover. Allan
Hwers should bo sent to tho office of tho
San Francisco fiullelin, nnd tiio success
ful individual, whether by actual oxper.
iincnt or not is unimportant, will find
ills or her namo recorded in the obituary
column of the nforesaid journal.

His master, n big, fat Irishman, hear

endeavoring to pull hi in through tho

But this treatment had no effect but to
make tho pig yell tho moro. An old

striking his master full In tho breast
knocked him Hat on his back. Tho only
person who witnessed this closing scene
wns Just entering tho ynrd, nnd not
being awaro now many actors wero
ongaged in it, was very muck eurprised
to hear what ho supposed to bo tlio pig,

VOL. XXXVI NO. 11,
As Others Sco Us.
Hero is n pretty stato of nffalrs! A
traveling Frenchman has gono home,
and, according to custom, written a
book nbout us, or rather our fashlonablo
society, which is hardly gratoful, nfter
its dovotcd fealty to Napoleon nnd his
court during tho Into fracas. Whether
ho hits the null on tho head our rcadors
must dccldo by their own Bcnsltlvoucss,
nnd how fur It Is hurt. On tho matter
of fashlonablo religion ho Is very plain
spoken. "Tho Americans accept nom
inally tho Christian religion ; but their
real nffections und homngo nro placed
overy where ; n glass of liquor or n plpo
of tobacco Is oftencr in their thoughts
than tlio sacred mysteries of tliolr faith.
They bring their Infants, handsomely
clothed, to tho font, but without any
nppnrent motlvo or subsequent zeal for
their salvation. But whllo thus dull
nnd blockish In matters of religion they
nro extremely subtlo nnd expert in all
that concerns trado or proflt."
As regards dross, our author n33orts
Hint tho men nro properly clothed, but
tho women nro neither decent nor clenn
ly. "They grcaso and stiffen their hair
insorting flowers nnd fenthers in tho
nasty mas3, nnd daub their faces with
various earths and paints. In their
public feasts nnd dances, tho cxposuro
of their persons is shamefully lowd."
Of the treatment of criminals, ho says:
"Theso barbarians delight in tlio tor
turo of tlioso condemned to die, tho
wretches being forced to look upon tho
preparations for days before-hand.
When tho execution takes place, It is
made n kind of rareo show or holiday
for tho wholo nation, nnd talked over
with nil its horror in overy family.
This is for the purpose of giving to tho
children tho taste for blood and human
torture." Wo bewail our dead, hosays,
with vehement nnd unseemly outcry,
burying costly garments with them and
performing tho ceremony of burial with
tho display of such wealth as wo have,
so that it is apparent wo beliovo tho
rich stuffs and nnd ornaments will give
pleasure to tho dead in tho fuluro world,
" so brutish and besotted nro tholr opin
ions of God and His Kingdom." Men,
ho nssorts, nro "exceedingly unchosto,
often keeping moro than ono wife,
though unacknowledged; marriago Is
in fact among theso classes only a civil
contract mado on tho grounds of oipo
diency or nggrandlzement, rather than
nffectlon. Thero nro certain among
them who think it a hardship to be
compelled to continue married to tho
samo person for nny length of time.''
Our friend has evidently fallen in with
tho Woodhull brlgado of tho Advanced
Femalo cohorts, nnd stat03 their argu
ment very fairly ; " 'How is it possi
ble,' they say to mo, 'for a man to bo
subject to tho bonds of marriago? Don't
you sco how littlo reason you havo?
My wifo Is not pleased with me, noither
am I nt easo with her. My neighbor
may liko her better, and I may liko
his, whodoo3 not carosomtich for him.
Why should you obllgo us to livo liko
cat and dog, whon, by only changing
ono with another, wo can livo at quiet ?'
Thus their argument proceeds in favor
of their brutishness." There aro cer
tain jugglers also among theso people,
ho says, who profess to recall tho dead.
But on turning to tho next chapter wo
find it treats of cannibalism. Surely
wo reformed, in that particular ot least,
somo centuries ago.
Wo liavo been mistaken, it appears.
Tho book is by Lo Sieur de la Salle, and
was printed in 18G2. and It is not our
fashionable society ho is describing, but
tho man eating savages of Iroquis. But
tho mistake was natural, nfter nil. N.
