one hundred in the cabin, and the feet
were negroes coming to the city on a holi

When the flames began to sweep ,toward
them they plunged wildly into the wah r,

them. The twenty-seven hundred bales of
cotton were piled up eight tiers high, and
it was difficult to move about on the boat

The Sheriff laughed good-humoredly.
'Wait till von hear it,' be began; 'Ten
years ago' I was elected Sheriff of this
comity. My 6rst attempt at opening
court was. made during an itolntent trial.
The criminal way a depraved,' desperate
wretch, who' bad been indicted for a bru
tal and .atrocious murder. The fellow
was greatly hardened, and seemed to.care
but little how the trial - resulted. The evi
dence was strong against him ; end when
the cue was submitted to the jury. they
returned a verdict of 'Guilty,' without
leaving their seats.
The execution was fixed for a certain
day, two weeks after the trial. Of *course,
it was my duty. as Sheriff, to put the rope
around the fellow's neck and launch him
into eternity. It was a distasteful duty I
assure you: for, though I knew full well
the man deserved his death, I did nnt rel
ish the idea of hanging him. I got
through with it, however, and sent him
dancing , on air. He did not struggle
much, and I thought be had an easy
death. After hanging the usual time, and
being pronounced dead, he was cut down,
and his body given to his friends for in
terment. I thought I bad seen the last
of the man, as the wagon containing the
body drove cut of the JO yard : but I was
mistaken.
About four months aftertbe execution,
T happened to' be passing my b barn,
when I saw a man pitting in the doorway,
with his bead resting on his bands. I did
not like his look. so I approached
and asked him what he wanted there. He
raised his head and looked at me in si:

the only indication of it now visible was a

.and heard him pro.

to his friends for burial; and yet, after a

He, seemed to be sinking gently into a

was being wrung with the most agonizing
torture. • The pains were not confined to
any particular iplace,but extended through
the whore body. His first thought was
that he way in perdition, and was auffering
the penalty of his crimes. The pains in

so intense that he started to his feet with
