STKAM.li: TKAMTIUN.
It wits :i dreary winternight j the snow lay
thick upon tho ground, ami tlio wind went
wandering through llio narrow city streets,
now tvuiliiig lugubriously, then shrieking
hrilly; rattling nt the doors nnd windows,
and thundering over the hoii-etops, making
tlio people lieniblo in their beds. The wild
wind seemed Id have some special business
in the world Ibis night, as it went careering
mil liiging round nnd round, driving the
good folks into their houses, hurling down
chimney-tups, tearing up old trees, playing
nt liiilc-iind-seel: in the churchyards as
though it would wako tho dtatl, and failing
that, Hying up to the steeple, howling furi
ously, striking it on all sides, wrestling in a
mad endcavur to send it crashing on the
gravis below. If it lould only hnvo woke
up the spirit of ju-tice, that lay hound in n
trance-like sleep, it might havcbeeiu'oiitent
to rest, but it could nut; having tired itself
out, it sank down sobbing and wailing
round a palace prison, wiiero n doomed King
lay sleeping his la-t earthly sleep. All the
griefs, trials and vicissitudes that can befall
hiiinanily had been crowded into tho life of
of the unfortunate sovereign, lie had been
weighed down by political anxieties nnd
military defeat, and at hist with a brave tin
llinching spiiit had undergone the terrible
onleal of a public trial a niero mockery of
justice which resulted in his condemnation
to death, lie had al toady bid farewell to
wife, children, friends and relations, and had
now but a feu- hours to live. Ono wonder
was rifo among the people, ono question had
llown from lip to lip during tho day, but
night caino and left it unanswered "Who
was to fulfill the ghastly ollice of headsman
to the King?" It was not to bo the eominon
executioner that was well known ; but on
whom, then, would devolve tho responsible.
nlUco? It iiiii- t ho a practiced hand who
would strike ono blow and have done. One
thing alono was known that nt twelve
o'clock on the morning of iiOth of January
tho King's head was to fall.
Tho night that was tu herald such a mor
row was tho dreariest of tho dreary winter.
Tlio wind had pulled out tho tiny nil lamps
that lit the streets with its first breath, and
they vvero dull, dark, and almost deserted.
Still the snow fell und tho wind waibd on.
It wni nearly midnight when a solitary pe
destrian wended hi way through tlio silent
city. lie vviis wrapped In a smiaro roiptlare,
and wore his hat pulled low over his eyes.
Ho hurried along, looking neither to tho
right nor to tlio lelt, not oven pausing for a
second, till ho reached a shabby, narrow
street in tho purlieus of Wtinliister, with
rickety, tumble-down houses on each side.
Ho looked eaiitloiisly around him, laid his
hand upon a latched door, and entered ono
of thcso iniscrablo abodes ol Immunity
There was a low vvhNpering of voices in the
dark parage: then ho ascended n steep
Might of worm-eaten stairs, and was shown
into a room occupied by ono solitary man
Tho door closed behind him and they two
were left alone. For a moment they gazed
on each other's face; there was no hand
shaking, not a slnglo word ot greeting
piscd between them. Tho occupant of tho
room was a large, heavy-limbed mini of the
lowest order, with a bloated iaco andii fero
oious cast of countenance. Ono lingo hand
lay clenched upon tho table, as ho leaned
forward and sciimed his visitor from beneath
his bushy brows, llo was the first to speak.
"Well, I don't mppo.o you havo eonio
hero lor tho plca-siiro of looking nt me," he
said with a ghastly grin, " I hat s your wrl
ting and your blgning, I suppose?" llo held
forth a crumpled bit of paper as ho spoko.
Ills visitor bowed his head in token of as
sent, but said nothing.
"Well, what do you want? folks don't
seel: out tho likes o mo for nothing. Toll
mo quickly what you want ; it is past mid
night, nnd I've work tu do to-morrow that
needs a steady hand."
"It Is on that matter doeiro to peak to
yoii,"ropllod hU visitor, Inn eoldjoaleulntliig
tone. "You uro hereby commanded of Oli
ver Cromwell to carry out the execution of
Charles Stuart. What is your fee."
"You're ettiious, master; but I don't mind
telling you, My price for tin job is twenty
golden piece " .
"Let mo take your place and I'll mako it
tea tlnuM more,' exclaimed his vMtor,
Klchurd, butcher though ho was, aud fresh
from tho shambles of St. Ives, recoiled bo
foro tho voico of tho ea((cr speaker. Was he
mad? or ho smiled grimly and shook his
bond.
"It is a plot to eavo tho King," ho said,
"Save the King I" echoed his visitor, with
a low laugh of hllter hatred. "Though he
had tvt'cnty'hetula, 1 would not rest till tho
last ono had fallen. I fought at Nascby,
strove with might and main to stand face to
face with him, that wo might cross sword
and fight till ono or both wero slain, for I
havo avvorn no hand but luino shall shed hi i
blood I"
"I'm sorry for your oalh," replied llran
don j "you might havo kept it times enough
without walting'uutilnow."
"I tell you I havo watched and wailed
"Hah 1" Interrupted tlio man ; "a'jjlovv in
the dark would lmve served your purpose.
and the country would havo been saved
much cost and trouble; no ono would hfivo
asked who struck the blow "
"Maul I would bo his executioner, not
hisnssassiu!" cxclaimod ills visitor, fiercely.
"lou gentlefolk draw inco distinction,"
sneered Mr-hard Ilrandoii.
"Tinio Hies," rejoined his visitor ; "there
uro no moments to waste in nulbling or use
less argument. I make you an offer which
will lill your purse and spare you an unpleas
ant task, it can he no pleasure to behead
tho King."
nut it would Dean uncommonly unpleas
ant thing for mo to put my head in his
place."
"You run no risk," replied the other: "in
case of any discovery or failure my head is
in peril, not yours; but discovery is imnoi-
sible. Your person is unknown to the pris
on authorities unknown to the people out
side unknown oven to Cromwell; in addi
tion to winch you are to be cloaked and
masked. Who could tell what form or face
is hidden by such disguise ? It is but a few
minutes work, tlien the execution is over,
tho executioner disappears; no man will
care to look upon his face or clasp him by
the hand; they will shrink from him as
though ho were a pestilence stalking through
tho land. Decide quickly. There is the
money," ho Hung a hag of chinking coin
upon the table as lie spoke "count it. Give
mo your credentials and disgui,e,'and never
fear but all will go well."
"Mow know I that?" said liraudon, irres
olute and sorely tempted. "I was chosen
for my skill: you nreno professional, and
may be but a bungler at the work. I am
only a butcher, a slayer of innocent beasts,
aud I would not bo tho torturer of a king.
His visitor glanced keenly round the
room ; there was a large billet of wood lying
in the corner, lie took it up aud placed it
on the table.
"Ciive ine nif axe," lie said, "and draw a
chalk lino where I shall strike."
Without a word Mellaril liraudon rose up,
took a piece of chalk, .and drew a lino across
the wood. This done he produced an axe,
crutiuizeil it carefully, pa-scd his .finger
over its keen, sharp edge, and smiled sat
isfied.
"It should Jjo a rare tool for such' line
irk," he said lie ,halanced it for n mo
ment in his hand, then lifting Ids arm and
deviating not a hair's breadth either to the
right or to tho, left! As tlio wood fell on
either sidewith a heavy thud both started,
drew a long breath, and looked on each oth
er's faces. Tho" jirolVssion.il slayer felt he
was in the presence of a master hand.
The clock at Westminster Abbey was
triking one as the mysterious stranger left
tho hou.se, bearing with him tho dUgui-c,
tho credentials aud the headman's axe.
Time turned his hourglass and days and
years lied jnist. Tho King's enemies had
jiasscd away, and generations of their chil
dren after them. Moro than ono crowned
King had laid his iceptro down at llio door
of mighty King Death.
Tho follies and the courtly vices of the
Stuarts vveio fast lading into matters of his
tory; and his Majesty King Ocorgo 1 1, oe
cujiicd tho Kngli-li throne. The noble fam
ily ol Stair had lost many of its valuable
pos-essions during the jiolitie.d excitements
of pat times. At tho jire-cnt, tho chief
representatives of tho house of Stair had
fallen into disfavor with the King, and con
lenijiliitcd wi'hdrawing himself from the
Court. Ilocamo of a proud and haughty
race, and could not brook tho idea of a
formal dismissal, which might any hour be
fall him. Ho knew too well tho character
of his sovereign.
As ho was walking along the Oxford road
making a mental arrangement of his all'airs,
beforo retiring to his e-tates in Scotland,
which he Intended to do forthwith, a man
stepped suddenly In front of him, nud jilaced
a letter lu his liiind. Ill some siirpriso at
this mode of ii'nci eding, ho ojiened it and
read as follow: "My Lord your bravery
Is well known; but will you havo tho coiir
age to go to-morrow night to tho entrance of
Somei-et House, where you will hud one
who (if vou daro follow him) will conduct
voit lo a lmrt of tho town not much fic
qilelited, but where you will find a man who
is Inpatient to seo you, aud In discover
secrets which nro of more inijiorlaneo than
you Imagine, and which cannot bo disclosed
In a letter? If you nro afraid this should
ho a plot upon your purse, bring nothing
valuable about you, and como annul."
I.urd Stair's nirjniso at reading thi
strange requisition may bo easily imagined.
At first he took it for a trick of somo secret
encntv, or somo nlfair of gallantry, the her
nine of which had probably her own reasons
for such a mysterious summons, However,
ho determined to go, let the risk be what it
inijiht. Ho buckled on his sword, and, jiro
viding himself with n judr of jiistnls, went
to tho jilaeo ajijuiiiitcd, There ho found a
man evidently waiting for him, who, without
sjieaking, made him a sign to follow. Alter
walking lor about an hour they came into a
dilapidated and deseited street, ills con
dtictor knocked at tho door of a small house;
on Its being ojiened he stood aside and said,
"Walk In, my lord," and tho door closed
behind them. Holding his sword -in one
Hand and u pistol lu tho other, Lord Stair
followed his condutior, and was shown into
ii room the furniture of which was scanty
and belonged to a by-gone age. At tho far
cud of tho ajmrtmeut there was seated, or
rather half buried, in a hiigh leathern chair
a very aged and d'crejilt man; so old, he
seeiiud lis though lime had lorgotleu him
though Iho passing years had left their mark
upon lil 4 face, and (cored and rescored It
over and over until scare, ly n vertigo of a
turi'ioi .Iip'I lni'.dh'.i rk remained. Flow
ing down ulnio-t t'i 1 ' w. 1 t a, n long
whito beard ; n pair of unearthly eyes
gleamed from beneath his frosted brows. On
a tablo by liH side was n small old-fashioned
latnii. So soon as ho found himelf alono
with this uninviting figure ho advanced cut
tiously and, glancing Misjiiciously round
him, grasped his sword, Tho old man s dull
cyos became fixed iijioii his face, and n small
faint voice inquired if ho wero Lord Stnlr.
Lord Stair answered In the nlllrmative,
adding: "It Is you, I jiresumc, who have
sent for me in this mysterioiu fashion."
'Kneel down that I may look tijion your
face."
Strangely impelled by his authoritative
tone, as well as somo Irresistible feeling in
his own heart, Lord Stair obeyed. Tho old
man seized tho lain ji, nnd throwing tho light
full tijion his visitor's face, gazed nt it
eagerly ; he then stretched forth his yellow,
skeleton hand, and touched his visitor's
cheek. Tho young man almost recoiled from
it; he felt as though the hand of death were
writing his sign manual upon his brow.
"I see I recognize the features of my
race it is my own lost youth come back
again. Now, lift u your eyes and look on
mo."
Vmazed, half stupificd, and yet strangely
affected, Lord Stair did as ho was bidden ;
but ho saw nothing thereto stir his memory.
It was a faco of no utter stranger, seemingly
belonging to another world.
"Your eyes do not recognize sue," ho said
imjiatiently ; "but your boul must, for it is
akin to mine. Aye, you must start, but the
blood that rushes llaniing to your face now
comes from tho same fountain as that which
stagnates and freezes in mine. Tor years,
long years, I've yearned to took upon the
face of iniiio own raco and blood ; a little
while and I shall bo content to die ; but not
yet not yet. I have two things to do. I
should not llo quiet in my gravo if left un
done."
Guided by his directions Lord Stair drew
i heavy box from beneath a bed.
"There, there," continued tho old man,
"you will find jiajicrs which will rejiairthe
losses you and your family havo sustained;
deeds which will restore you to estates enjoy
ed wrongfully by others. With tho aid ol
these you will easily recover jiropcrty which
is yours by descent ; and you will read the
story of my life, it is written there."
Lord Stair hastily scanned tho documents
mil found that they wero precisely what the
old man hinted, and ho raised his eyes to
him in wondering gratitude, lie would
have taken his bony hand and pressed it to
his lijis, but the old man snatched it away,
murmuring
"There's blood upon it. I've ttied to hide
it, but it's always there."
Lord Stair recoiled n bteji, struck by the
sudden gesture, no less than by tho words,
and tho shuddering expression that came
into his comjianion's face. The old man,
observing the revulsion his words created,
put fortli Ids hands pleadingly, as he added
"No. don't leavo me yet; I am an old
man a very old man, and I havo rejicnted.
Oh God ! havo I not rejicnted ? Yea, from
tho very hour that I slaked my thirst for
vengeance, my blood began to cool, and I
felt tho brand of murder cruel, cowardly
murder on my soul. I hid myself from the
eyes of mine own kindred, from the eyes of
all the world, and I would fain havo hidden
from myself; but I havo the stain of Cain
upon my brow. I meant my secret to be
buried witli me, but it will not, let ine rest
it will not let mo die until it lias excaped
my lijis. I have tried to die but I could not;
I was a coward aturdared not. ' Ho jiau-cd
i moment, overcome by mental jiaiu as well
is physical exhaustion; then , grasping his
young kinsman's hand, ho spoko again,
dniost in a whisper.
"You remember J.CharlesStuart King
Charles the First?"
"Charles tho Martyr, as wo call him now ?
Yes, historically, I do remember him,"
rcjilied Lord Stair, wondering nt the ques
tion. "I I but it is all written there," rejoin
ed tho old man, pointing to a bundle of luan
tKcrijits. "I cannot forco my tonguo to tell
all only this ; it was 1 who stood upon the
scaffold cloaked and masked ; it was I who
truck tho ungodly blow that unkinged F.tig-
land, and sent a thrill of horror through the
land I, vindictive monster that I was.
Even as the axo wiw falling, I hurled iny
name her namo into his car; and as I lifted
Ids bleeding kcad, Ills mild eves seemed to
roll towards mine. Yes, he heard me heard
mo and I know that ho forgavo me."
Overcome by his tcrriblo retrosjiection,
the aged sjicaker seemed to sink into an un
conscious state. 'Silently, noiselessly ns a
qiectre, tho.guido who had conducted Lord
Stair lo tho house apjicared upon tho scene,
ami motioned him tu leave the room.
"Aye, go go!" gasjied tho old man, ral
lying fur a moment "go, and return no
more."
r
Here tho manuscript breaks oft' abruptly.
Of its truth or probability tho reader must
judge for himself. Wo ull know tho ques
tion of "Who beheaded Charles I?" has
been often asked, but never satisfactorily
answered. Mchard IlrnndMi was engaged
to play tho jvart of executioner, but it is
denied that he was the man wlio struck the
blow.
Canaries.
Rather more than three hundred years
ago, a ship partly laden with little green
bliils cajilured in tlio Canary Islands, having
been wrecked near Llba, the birds made
their escape, flew to tho island, and there
settled .themselves. Number of them were
caught by the inhabitants, and on account
of their sjirightly vivacity and tho brilliancy
of their voico they soon beeamo great favor
ites, and rapidly spread over Kuropc. Tho
original color of tho canary Is not the bright
yellow with which its feathers are generally
tinted, but a kind of dapjiled ollvo green,
black and yellow, either color predominating
according to circumstances, lly careful man
agomcnt tho bird-fanciers nro ablotn procure
canaries of every tint betwecu tho threo col
ors, having instituted a set of rules by which
tho quality and arrangement of tho coloring
is reduced to a regular system, Still tho
original dapjded green is always apt to mako
it appearance, and oven when two colored
birds are mated, a green ono U sure to he
found In tho nest, For my own part I caro
littlo fur tho artificial varieties -jiroduced by
tho fanciers, and to my mind an Intelligent
bird and a good songster is not one whit tho
less attractive because tho colors of its plum
utro are not nrrauged precisely according to
tho lancicr s rules.
A Contrast.
Among the many causes of pain and .,or
row In tho world, tho most potent nre the
wounds wo wantonly Inflict upon each other.
When wo reflect on the numerous trinls
which visit mankind, In the shape of pover
ty, sickness, bereavement, tlio failure of ef
fort and tho dlajqioiiitinciit of hopes, It
would seem us if none could bo found so
cruel as willfully to add to the long cata
logue. That there are some who do this de
liberately, and many more who did it
thoughtlessly, must bo admitted. 1'erhnjn
there is no weajion so strong to injure, and so
keen to wound, as the tongue. Cnjiable of
showering tlio richest blessings of love and
sympathy, of hope nnd cheer, of instruction
and encouragement, it is yet too often mado
the channel through which the venomof sel
fishness and malice flows to poison and destroy
tho human happiness. No not only through
open kindness und harsh nsjicrity nro tlio
woundsof tho tonguo Inflicted ; there Is n more
iiisidttotisandsecrctcourse.lessjialjiably cruel,
often, indeed, as-dttning the guise of appa
rent sincerity and friendship and thus wholly
cscajiing tho opprobrium it justly deserves.
Of all the evils that corrupt our social lifo
there are none so jiernieious as those indict
ed by tho cunning and malicious tattler.
When wo meet face to faco with a foe, we ut
least know wliat wo encounter, and can pre
pare for tlio assault ; but when wo are stab
bed in tho dark, thrust at by supi osed
friendship and smitten by tho hand that ca
resses us, then indeed is u bitter cup present-
d to our lijis. It is impossible to calcttlato
the jiowcr for evil that is wielded by such a
character, lly wily conversation ho may
worm himself into others' secrets, and then
discloso them, causing infinite injury; by
misrepresentation aud exaggerated coloring
lie may produce ttttcily false imjiressions,
breaking uji friendship, sowing tlio seeds of
distrust, casting equivocal blurs oil tho char
acter and conduct of thoso most worthy
of respect, magnifying pretty acts of thought
lessness or trivial errors into serious and un
jiardonablc offences, and in a thousand ways
clouding tho happiness and destroying tlio
peace of those who havo a just claim tosym
jiathy and regard.
Wiiat a contrast to such a character is
that of tho sincere, truthful, self-respecting
jicison, who so earnestly nnd energetically
pursues his own occupation that he has
neither leisure nor inclination to fry into
tho affairs of others; who, witli all simplici
ty nnd faithfulness, fulfills his own relations
in lifo and leaves others in freedom to fulfill
theirs; who is as strict in preserving, unsul
lied, llio reputation of others as in respect
ing their riglits of property. Such a ono is
not afraid of suspicion, for ho is himself un
suspicious, audjis evermore ready to discover
tho excellencies of others than their defects;
ho fears not calumny, for ho novcr stoojis to
calumniate another ; ho dreads no exposure,
for his life is ono of transparent sincerity.
Thoroughly respecting others, he commands
for himself tho rcsjicct of all. His own
troubles are not paraded for tho purpose of
exciting pity, but are borne witli fortitude,
while he never sull'ers them so to absorb him
as to jircvcut his ready symjiathy with thoo
of others. His joys are multiiilicd by shar
ing them with his friends, aud he can Usual
ly command
"A lie.11 1 at lclsuro from Itself
To soothe and sympathize."
Of all the qualities which combino to form
tiie blessing and charm of social life, none is
more essential than a straightforward sincer
ity. To bo true to our own convictions, to
bo tine to all jirofessions of friendship or re
gard, to be true to justice, honor and integ
rity in a word, to be faithful to principle, isi
to lay tho only po-sible foundation on which
social hapjiine.ss can bo maintained. With
out this, envy ings, jealousies, sclfi-hness and
ill-will will forever corrupt and embitter our
vvbolo social fabric. Directly we allow insin
cerity and double-dealings to creep into our
intercourse, directly we bufiVr hyjiocrisy or
deceit of any kind to tincture- cur conversa
tion, directly wo permit selfish, envious or
jealous feelings to clotnl our affections and
rejiress our symjiathy that moment do wo
introduce a poisonous element into our so
cial life that must eventually corrodo its well-
faro and destroy its liajipiness. Simjdicity,
fidelity and purity of licait and lijis from tiio
atmosjiherc in which social hapjiincss loves
to dwell, nnd only through their continued
influenco upon society can it bo purified,
sweetened and made to yield rich and abund
ant fruit.
Kf.i'.p IIhsy. God has given every man
work enough to do, that there shall be n
idleness; and yet haiso ordered the world
that there shall be sjiaco for devotion, llo
that hath tho. fewest business of tlio world is
called upon to spend more time in tlio drc j-
ing of his soul ; and ho that hath the most
allairs may so order them that they shall bo
i service to God ; while at certain periods
they are blessed witli prayer, and acts of re
ligion, and all day long are hallowed by a
holy attention. However, so long as idle
ness is quito shut out from our lives, all tho
sins of wanton softness and inefficiency aro
jirevcnfed, and there is but littlo room left
for temjitatioii ; and therefore to a busy man
temjitatioti is faint to climb up together with
his business, and sins creep njion h m only
by accidents and occasions ;'whereas to an
idle jiersou they come in a full body, ai d
with open violence, und tho impudence of a
restless ojiportuuity.
