On the 7th of May, 1777, the pub
lic executioner of Colmar was impris
oned.for having left the town without
the permission of the authorities; .he
was several times brought :Opfer ex
ininuition before.. the . magistrates
and here is_the amount he gave
his absence: He said that one even
ing at the end' of April he was alone
in his horuas- , -his wife-and assistants
being out—occupied in some duty of
his office, such as repairing handcuffs
or putting a gibbet together, when
he heard a load knock at the door.
He opened it without hesitation—an
executioner reould_ scarcely - be timid
—expecting some messenger from the
magistrates, no other person ever vis
ited his condemned dwelling. Instead
of the familiar forth he expected, •he
saw before him.three men enveloped
in cloaks, whilst a carriage slowly ad
vanced, surrounded-by six or - seven
others. The executioner saw all this.
at a glance; he was astonished, but
not frightened.
"You are the public executioner?'
said one of the strangers. -
"Yes, Monsieur," was the reply. .
"Are You alone? We wish to see
you in private."
"I am tquite alone; will you - walk
in, gentlemen . '
He thought they were messengers
from some rattighboring tribunal, and
drew back to let them enter the
house. But he had scarcely finished
speaking when these men sprang up
on, gagged him, bound him hand and
foot, that he could not move a single
limb, and placed him in the
_carriage.
The three men' whom he had seen
first, got in also, while the _others
mounted their horses, and all set off
at fall speed. They preserved a we

through the town, but.as the smooth 7,
neva of the way would allow. their
voices to be heard, the.man who had
first addressed him touched "the aria
of the executioner, and said: "
"Listen to me; you have nothing

The executioner breathed more
freely atter he was toldthat his life
would be 43parekthough he suffered
extremely, not being able to move

"I am go — mglo remove bonds and

ed several vast, dark roams, Which he
was certain were all vaulted, and at

where the bandage was taken from

with black, and a few torches cast a

t •
distance from him, and though they
were unmasked, the light was so faint
that he could. not distinguish their

this drama stood around svith crape

Immediately a ft er the executioner

concealed ly a long veil. She - was

of the boding circle, where she stood
erect, calm and motionless her hands
folded and covered by the long and

„Tha_expcutioner T - although execa;.;

the authority of legal judges, when
their very faces were a , mystery to
him ? 'After a few- moments reflec

to say with an unhesitating voice—
"l cannot obey you!" -
All around he heard swords drawn
from their scabbards, from which he
supposed that those magistrates were
not altogether so pacific as world be

at the lady; there she . Stood, upper

"You have promised obedience to

had brought liim„.lq and you will feel
the weight of our' vengeance if you

"When I promised it, it was under

would be legal, though secret. I am
no assassin; and gentlenien, whoever
you may be, I refuse to execute• your
orders; and I will not touch a hair
: of that woman's head. Besides, what
crime has she committed?"
,The President looked at his col
leagues as if to get theiropinion; and
then rising quickly, said in a voice of
thunder, You ask what crime this
woman-has committed? Listen, and
you shall hear, and the horrors of the

The executioner, excited either by
fear or that intoxication which it is
said sometimes influences , people in
times of danger, raised the sword,
and at one blow severed the head
from the trunk; and then he, the man
of iron 'nerves, whO, during twenty
years had been shedding human blbod
as the minister of human-justice, sank
fainting on the sacrifice:
When he recovered his senses, he
found hinu3elf again in' the carriage,
his eyes bandaged, and a cloak wound
round-him to conceal his blood stain

When' his companions perceived
that he had recovered, one of them
handed him a purse, saying, " Here
is your reward; it is double what you
were promised in consideration of ,
your conscientious conduct."
Their journey back. was performed
with the same precautions as the for

was set free on the banks of the Isle,
in a meadow near, his house. He
found his wife very anxious, and the
magistrates-furious.

of boys and youth, who took their
_mommig bath earlier than their wont,
that they - might swim with the Presi

with them as was with John Quincy's
ancestor, " sink or swim, survive or
perish," they were bound to be afloat
at that particular time. ' Adams gen
erally selected a place near the Long
Bridge (not Long Branch). The
boys annoyed the long boat Men very
much, seizing the steering oar ; &e.,
as the latter would be rowing and
pulling their wood and coal boats up
the river, and they frequently had to
dodge the billets of wood which the
vexed river men would hurl at them.
'Adams' bald pate meantime, would
be bobbing up and - down in close

occasion a boatman shied a missile at
him with an accompanying admoni

Mr. Adams had a sort of weakness
for the water. On another occasion,
in company with his ! valet Swiss,

All we believe, and almost alive knoWP
have been led to this subject from
different reasons, but' most ly, from
readings publication entitled" Sketch;
es and Intildmits," by George Peck.
The atttlior says, "It -is worthy of
remark, that one of the most inter
eating, departments of the English
literature of the last century owes its
birtlfto 'the alum which the better
disposed liteiati of the age took at the
general declension' of manners and
moats, and their attempt to check it.
I refer to the Periodical Essay. 'The
British essayists are technically dis
tinguished in our literature—they
forma department which has become'
classical. A foreign . writer says that
they have been reprinted more mien
sively than any other books in our
language,' except the Scriptures.
" Some of the brightest names in
the catalogue of English writers owe
much- of their Mae 'to their works.
Among them may be mentioned
Steele, Addison, Berkley, and John ,
son: These - publications, which af
terwards became so - distinguished,
Were conducted as ephemeral ftheets.
They were issued twice or thrice a
weel, and contained brief articles,
which. discussed the follies and vices
of the times. Their character was ,
generally humorbus or sarcastic;
°c
ommon* they contained a sober - re
buke of the irreligious of the day.
" The first in the list is the Tattler,
ojected by Steele;•bnt to wlikh Ad
dison was a frequent contributor. It
is' almost exclusively confined to the
superficial defects of society. It is
the best picture extant of the domes
tic, moral and literary condition of
the early part of that century.
"The Spectator, conducted conoint
ly by AddisOn and Steele, fol lowed
the 7i:tiler. It is still one of the most
popular works of our language, and
presents, perhaps, one of - the best
standards of correct English style
which possess. Next appeared
the Guardian, projected by Steele,
but aided Much by Addison, Pope,
and Berkley. A long list of miscel
laneous writers of the same class fol
lowed, who have not been placed - by
the public opinion in the rank of the
classical essayists. Dr. Johnson, in
his Rambler, restored the periodical
essays to - their first dignity. I have
already Mentioned; that these writers
aimed at first more at the correction
of the follies, than at the sins of the
times They grew serious, however,
as they grew important. It is cur
ions to observe their increasing se
verity, as they obtained authority by
time andvopularity. Steele, from a
long and various study of the world,
painted with mirinte accuracy its ih
surdities. Addison, with a style the
mostpure, and an humor mild and
elegant, attempted to correct the lit
erary taste of the times , and to shed
the radiance of genius on the dispis
ed virtues of Ckistianity.
"He rescued Milton from neglect.
He exemplified in-death the power of
his principles. Pope satirized in some
,admirable criticisms the literary fol
lies of the day." OBSERVZIL

harm lur does is to himaPlf,"
There' is not a word of truth in the
above, although it is the verdict ren
dered every day by the unthinking
public. True, he ma, not be an out
breaking' blackguard, or a noisy,
.quarrelsome rowdy, as the majority
of Whiskey drinkers are ; but to say
that he hurts himself is an untenable
ble position. Go ask his heartbroken
wife if he only hurts himself! Hear
her heavy sigh as she bends' over an
unfinished garment, and with strain
ed eyes and trembling fingers,' • plies
the needle, as the only means by
which she can procure bread to keep
her children from starving, and then ,
ask her if he only hurts himself? See.
him eating the bread she earned with
her tired hands for his famishing
children,' and tell us if he only hurta :
himself? See him taking the furni
' ture,the bed,even the old family bible
to pawn for nue, and then sax if you
can, he only hurts himself! ,

.over generals and peoples which al
most no statesmen of the world have
~assessedjhe was strangely unexcited
y such sudden and surprising per
sonal distinctions ; that, intent upon
his country's wel fare, he thought .of
himself with a singular humility; and
while his name at the end of * com

and give some men command over
thousand's of others, he was as devoid
of ostentation or arrogance as if he

despaired of the future of the repub

sublime in its surgilicity, in the gov

which they were to help to build and,
mold, and in the GO who, as he -
be

That he was identified with the

recognizing his opportunity, hearing
the solemn voices of Providence, not

permitted and enabled to loosen the

TEE DISMAL SWAMP NEES.
Almost.every year there is a fire in
•the Pisinal Swamp. When one breaks
•-out it increases until it is put out by.
rain. As-there has been so long con:.'
tinned a drouth this year, the confla
gration has extended almoat beyond
precedent. It has burnt about 16
miles almost without interruption, in
a line from northwest to southwest.
It is sill progressing in its..-.wogkal
devastation, and it is fears hat it is'
-destined to do much more harm be
fore it is arrested by rains. Several
' fine farms have been burnt out, and
Awe there were formerly the.-rich
est fields there are seen new acres
upon acres • of ashes, some pita of
which are fifteen feet deep. Tire
drouth has been so severe that the
swamp is in many places dry down
to the sub-soil, which variesin depth
below the surface from four to fifteen
feet. All above it.is vegetable mat
ter, in a greater or less degree of de
composition, which has accumulated
and becomes itself the bed of innu
merabler swamp plants . , until the whole
is matti3dAegether by their roots per
meating the whole mass. When this
is perfectly dry, it catches like tin
der, and burns from the Efurface down
to the ground beneath, requiring a .
great deal of water to put it out. - If
a small shower falls, enough to wet
the surface .of the depth of only three
or four inches, the fire is not stop
ped; for it burns away underneath.,
W,he,lhis is the case, the soil-is un
derburnt often to a great distance,

ed with the features of thia country
express surprise at the existence of
Lake Drummond so far above tide
water, at the - summit level of the
swamp. This is easily accounted for,
when we, reflect how that whole
swamp was formed . It is raised up
many-feet above the original soil by
the accumulations of vegetable mat
ter for ages *tipciti ages, until some
parts of the Dismal Swamp are much
higher than any of the surrounding
country. Hund.rW.s of years ago the
middle of this great - swamp .caught
fire, and the burnt district is now
Lake Druminond. This is - shown by
the fact that all through the lake are
