At G , anion,; the "sights" pointed out to the stranger is a huge tree, and aliout four feet from the 1-ase the lark has liecn cut in the form of a cross in dimensions' aliout two feet by three feet. " What is the meaning of that ? asked I of my " guide the clerk of the post office as 1 pointed to the cross so dceply n-aven in the tree. "There's a story goes with that," said he, "and it's been the cause of my hcing against capital punishment ever since." "A story f " "Yes,' interrupted hi-, "and one that even the youngest child in our town has learned to relate. Let us sit here, and I'll tell it you." Li-rhting a fresh cijpir, ne U-gan the following, and I will give it in his ou : ords as near as I can : "Let's see it's now almost fortr rears ' iuce the events w hich I am going to relate ccurred. Two Uiiles to the west, over j there, is an old run-out coal-pit, or I should j jsay, a pit sunk for coal, hut which never j yielded much of the 'dusky.' One of the i men employed iu the first working ami sinking was named John Harris, a collier j from over the water. He was a sort oft superintendent or lioss of a gang of the! . workers, and had built himself a neat little I home aliout a mile from here, lutween this j place and the pit. His family consisted of himself and daughter, Lis w ife Laving died in Kngland. The daughter was a beautiful girl just turning her eighteenth year, and was the magnet that drew all the gay young gallants for miles around. Among the numlier of swains who were ready to ; light, bleed or die' for her were Henry Lewis and Charles Jenkins. IJoth figure prominently in my tale; so 1 will name none of the others who Lad entered the lists for favor from Lucy Harris. " It appears that I-ewis, a quiet, orderly young fellow, Lad the inside track iu the affections of the divine Lucy, and accom panied her to all the merry-makings, feasts etc., to the envy of all others, but to none more so than Jenkins, w ho flattered himself that, were Lewis only removed from Lis trak, Le could come in winner of the hand of the fair one. Old man Harris really favored the latter, being, as he often remarked, a 'youngster of the right sort, and none of your milk and water babies,' which eulogium of the talents of Jenkins was occasioned by the fact that old man irn-; in his dntikinir liouts found a right good companion in Jenkins, aud one who could 'down as much 'mountain dew as he, while, on the other hand, I-ewis was about the only teetotaler among the visitors t the Harris Louse. In Lis carousals the man gw-,in. roundly that Jenkins alone should possess the hand, if not the heart. of Lucy, ami forbade Lewis from coming to Lis Louse. Clandestine meetings, of nrs,. followed between Lucy and the ' , ..i.rii.,,.! latter, but not unknown to the vigilant Jenkins who was watching the lovers for all that was out. i " Tilings reached a crisis w lieu the old ; man, informed of these meetings, took to .Wnking harder, and swore by all tiie gods to rid the earth of that dough-faced baby ! who was trying to a1 his MU away ,frm Lim.

"He seized her as be spoke, and, not w itlistanding Le was a powerful man, her st.vngth and the liquor Le Lad imbibed made the struggle a desixrrate one. Seeing that Le would probably be foiled in his evil desires, and now thoroughly maddened by the whisky Le hail drunk and the girl's almost suH-rhuman exertions, Le whipped out a large pocket-knife and tLreatened to kili Ler unless slie quit struggling. TLe sight of the Lnife lent extra strength to the unfortunate girL and just as she was aUmt to overpower the brute the knife was sluathcd in Ler bosom. She fell at Lis feet and again and again did the murderer's knife seek Ler Leart After Lis paroxysm of rage, the sight of the now inanimate body filled him with fear, an.L dropping the knife, he ran from the spot. He quick ly made Lis way to the house, where the old man still lay in his stupor. Then did the first thought of comealmeut of the crime enter his mind. He raised the old man from his slumber, aud easily convinced him that he was but just dropping off to sleep when Le roused Lim, and bantered Lim to liiiish the bout. The old man took I it all in, and together they had a right mer j ry time finishing the jug. Here was an auoi; ior ne could make the old man swear that he had not left him a moment tluit day. " A slu.rt time after the murderer had fled from his victim, Lewis, who had an appointment with Lucy at that hour has tened to the n-udezroiis. Imagine his hor r r when his eyes gazed upon the one object on earth dear to mm, coLl, lifeless and Cloody. With an awful shriek he clasped her in his anus, trying to warm her back to life by his own heart beats. Then, kneel ing by her corpse, he swore to avenge her death, and then, almost crazed by the blow, he continued to call on her he loved "Some miners passing that way dis corered him, and taking hiui into custody, delivered him to the authorities at G , who, notwithstanding his protestations of innocence, lodged him in jail on a charge of the murder of Lucy Harris. Public sentiment was aliout equally divided, and hen the trial came on the court -room was crowded. The defense was a denial of the murder, and the knife, which was proved every redskin lie could corner, patted . to Lave iK-en the prisoner's, lie claimed toj" the ,,t'aa ever-v I'1!""'

The ;tLsoiht could not lie roused out of the I apathy w hich had seized hiui, and to all : the exhortations of his friends he made ! answer that the sooner all was over the I sooner he would join her aUive. Not- ! withstanding an able defense by his law- . vers, he was found guilty of the murder ! and scn.cnced to oe uangcL . "the trial and verdict convinced nearly was the friend of the red man Irom tlie all that he was indeed the murderer, and ! word "go." His charity extended to the most charitable gilded his fearful criaie ! the Indian and no further. The ingen with 'emotional . insanity.' However, uity of the Indian surprised and de cuiltv or not. preparations for his hanging . lighted him, and alter paying three went on, and the eventful day drew nigh. "Jenkins was the loudest voiced of all linn lielievers in the guilt of Lewis, and it was observed that he of late drank heavier, and the sun neither rose nor set on him ex cept as a drunkard. The night before the day appointed for the hanging he was seized with delirium tremens in the then principal saloon of the town, and, t) the astonishment of the bystanders, in his de lirium be again went through the bloody ;ragedy. Tlie Judge who had passed the dread sentence was sent for, and, giving Jenkins into the custony of several consta bles, he Lad a magistrate to take down the savings of the now raving maniac, and all wen; soon convinced that the real murderer of Lucy Harris w as before them. "The Judge went to the cell of the con demned, and with a glad heart he commu nicated the joyful news to the pnsoner.and told him he would lie a free man to-morrow, and thanked God the real murderer had Wn found, and that an innocent man had not suffered. The Judge and magis istratc, on their own responsibility, released I,ewis, and the trial and conviction of Jen kins soon followed : for when accused of the murder and show n the damning self accusations, he wilted and made a clean breast of it. The gall" ws erect ed for Lewis served to "shuffle off the real murderer of Lucy Harris, for Jenkins was swung off in a short time afterwards. "Iwis, as soon as rclcasciL came to this siot, the si-cne of the tragedy, and carved that cross on the tree, and every day during life he would come here, kneel and pray to lie worthy of being united with her aliovc. His reason was shaken by what he had gone through, and the Judge cared that he wanted for nothing. The people here call that 'I.ewis' Cross,' and Heaven knows he .lid carry a Heavy cross. He kept it white and clean while living, not allowing a fibre to grow in any of the incisions. He ilied aliout fifteen years ago, and once in a while ,.f town tM-onle cuts out the cross as it fills up. so as to perpetuate Cross' as long as the tree stands." Lewis' Caution Against lJthtnln-c. People generally supiose that there is no danger to be apprehended from lightning uutil there have been sharp reports ot thunder quickly following the flash, and indicating a near explo sion of the electric fluid. Such is not the case. When the celebrated James Otis, of Massachusetts, the great orator of the Revolution, was killed, it is said that butasing'e bt.lt fell from the cloud during the shower. He had often ex pressed a wish for a sudden death, aud had remarked thatwhen his time should come, he should prefer to be struck dead, instantaneously, by lightning, one day he was standing in his front door w atching a small cloud which Lad arisen and from which rain drops had hecr on to fall. There was a single flash and he lav lifeless on the floor in ae cordance'with his often expressed pre ference.

In the early part or this century the western portions of North Carolina were infested bv wild game, among which was the elk, now entirely ex inct in the South. The last elk was killed in Mitchell county, it is said, about 1824. Some time about ISIj, a party of veteran and daring hunters were in the mountains of Buncombe, engaged in a hunt for these animals. They spent several weeks usually in such expeditions, sleeping in the for ests, always in danger from wild beasts. One evening, just before night fall, the party returned, one by one, to tbe rendezvous, all save one very old man, a most enthusiastic and tireless ..,.c...n k-nnuinir bis habits, his absence caused little remark, but as time slipped on and he came not, it was determined to make a search for him. While preparing to do this the well-known report of his rifle rang out ou the air and then all was still. The noise of the report came from a canebreak, a quarter of a mile away. Taking lights, two of the hunters made their way thither and found their com rake but a few rods from the brake, lying on the ground so badly injured, as to be helpless and well nigh ex hausted. In reply to Inquiries he said he had tracked a bear and fired at him wounding the ferocious beast, he thought, fatally. On going up to his prize the bear arose and seized luni. A terrific struggle ensued between the two. Losing Lis knife iu this contest the hardy hunter said he bail no other means than to seize Bruin's nose iu his teeth. He declared that Le had done this, and with such effect as to bite off the tip of the entire end of the nose.

Many persons complain of always get- tin ud tired in the mornine. this is very ol ten due to detective vciiuiaiion ' of the bell clothes and bedding. Fe&th- er beds are too soft and yielding, and Tartially envelop the sleeper, thus pro ducing profuse perspiration. Again, it is a common error to suppose that by simply opening a window at the top a room can be ventilated. People forget that for proper ventilation there must be an inlet as well as an outlet for the air. In bed-rooms there is often neith er, aad if there Is a fire-place, it Is gen erally tightly closed. Again, it is a mistake to suppose that foul air goes to j the top, but chief impurity, itw carlionic acid falls to the bottom. There is nothing so efllcacious In re moving the lower strata of air, as the ordinary lire-place, especially if there is a fire burning. - Madera flchofil Pantshment.

As we came up to them I drew rein and they both paused by the roadside. "Well, boys," I ask. "where do you hail from?" "We're from the 'Snuggery' sir." "I thought so," said 1 with a laugh, in which they both joined. "But what are you doing with that bootjack?" "Oh, you see," said one with a roguish smile, "Charlie and I were having a little tussle in the sitting room, and he picked tip Mr. Sutig's bootjack iu the corner and began to pummel me with it, and just as we were having it the worst, and rolling on the floor, Mr. Snug came in and caught us, and now we're paying for it." "How so?" I inquired, well knowing what would be the respouse. Uli, you see Mr. Snug held a diagno sis over our remains, and said he thought we were suffering for the waut of a little exercise and ordered us on a trip to Judd's bridge." "And the bootjack?" "Oh, he said that Charlie might want to play with that some more on the way and had better fetch it along," and with a mischievous snicker at his en cumbered companion he led him along the road in a hilarious race, while we enjoyed a hearty laugu at their ex-1 Iense.

Louis XVI. was conveyed D. to prison iu the old home of the Templars, j One after another they heaped insults j upon the royal persons, aud at length j biotight the king to trial. All J condemued him as guilty again. t a ua- i tion; then came a struggle as to what ; should b his punishment. There were 1 two parties in the Assembly! first, the ... ,. J. non-Christian Girondists, who sought a republic, the original leaders oi tne Kevolutu.il ; the second, the Jacobins, who sought the utter demolition of the old laith. The Girondists were averse to the death of the king, but voted for it for fear of their more san guinary rivals; the Jacobins urged bis condemnation, and procured it. The king's cousin, Philippe, duke of Or leans, amid shuddering, voted for his death. Out of seven hundred and twenty-one votes Louis XVI. was con- deuined to die by a majority of twenty- six. The king alone bore the senteiice " calmly. Ou the night of tbe 20th of January (A. I. 17S3), he saw for the last time on earth the queen, his two children, and his sister.Mme. Elizabeth, They parted at ten o'clock; the king and queen gave their blessing to the Dauphin. Then in the course of the night the king made his coufeision to tha Abbe Edgeworth, and early iu the morning received the blessed Eucharist from the littlealtar in his chamber, and joined in ihe ofllce for the dying, while the roll or the drums were gathering the attendant for bis execution. At nine o'clock he came forth and looked up to the tower where his wife and children were imprisoned, then calmly took his place in the chariot of death Ml along the way he held his mind in nraver. uttering the Psalms in suppli- cation of our Lord God. Ihey were nnir in reacuinz tne lautt snot., .as they passed on there was a great crowd of people, sad and sileut. At length thev came to the Place I-ouis (juatorze, where the obelisk of Luxor now stands at the end of the gardensof his palace; the executioner bound the hands of the kino- behind his back. "Endure to the last, iu likeness to our Saviour," said his confessor. He came to the foot ol the scaffold and mounted it, looked out upon the people, and said with a loud voice. "1 am dying innocent; I for give all who have made me die, and pray that my blood may never fall up on France aud you." Then the drums were beat and drowned the last words. The blameless king was seized and laid beneath the axe, aud, amid the prayers of many a one concealed and the awe of the vast multitude, the blow fell i ne king s uieiess notiy was taken to a dishonored burial, while he himself went to meet the loving countenance of iin's10"0"3 WelCO"'r 0f Jhe Kn " " I'reaenre of MiuU.

Ten men started down the shaft of a Nevada mine in a small skip. The donkey en gine broke and the miners felt their vc-scl sink downward with lightning speed. Deathly fear turned every face white.
