It was as cruel as horrible and cow^ ardly. Five inert assembled to witness the professional murder of a young and beautiful woman ! What had she done 1 whom had she offended ? Some secret machinery was a t work ; these mien were mere instruments in the hands of a high- er power—they had owned as much ; they had no personal interest in the matter. 'They were there to carry out justice, they said^—secretly, it was true ; but the woman had been lawfully con- demned, and the sentence of the law must be privately executed. The woman's eyes were fixed upon them throughout the whole of this con- versation, and traveled from -one face to the other in hopeless agony ; not a word passed -her ears, and only a despairing, changeless expression sat like a seal upon her face. She knew there was only the one question to be solved : Was she to die by the unwilling hand of a pitying stranger, or be killed cruelly by profes- sional murderers 1 What a world of ter- ror must have been compassed in those few moments of her life as she lay wait- ing and watching there! The clock began to chime thequaiters ; it was about to strike. At a given signal the statue-like figure stepped' forward and rapidly uncoiled a rope with a utiose al- ready made j they were about to slip it over his head and hang him to a beam which ran along the center of the ceiling. The horror of facing a sudden and viol- ent end seized liini—-diis death would avail her nothing for whom he died. His senses were in a whirl; lie threw up his hands and sprang forward, \I'll do it!'' he exclaimed,, and fell on his knees beside her. \They init ha\ e your life, I cannot save you, child ; but I can shield- you from their rough, cruel hands, and put you painlessly to rest. Forgive me, for it is in mercy to you I do this cruel deed.\ The white hand went out to him and closed over his in a soft, forgiving clasp; the agony died out of the sweet eyes as they rested one moment on his face; then with alow sigh she eiered them and turned, away her head. 1 ,.t another moment her young life was ebltng slov. ]y away. He remained by her side, hold:rig her hand in-his and watching till all was over. I Ie would ntat for. a .second leave her with those stern men, lest a wound- ing word or rough touch- iniglit disturb her on her svay from this world to the next. He was conducted from the place in the same way as he had entered it, and when his conductors took leave of him they suggested that it would be well if lie would leave Naples with as little delay as possible. This forced murder-— for such it really was—lay upon his con- science to the end of his life, amd filled it with one long remorse—a living night- mare—for that scene was always present in his mind. The change that, had so long puzzled us puzzled us no nuore. i le could not carry his secret to the grave with him, so gave it into our liaeping. \It's a terrible story '\ I exclaimed. \And unlike most terrible stories, it is true,\ he answered. \Come out -for a breath of fresh air and sunshine, to blow this gloomy subject from our senses.\- - Pirtnriul WorlL Eb.o So- at the Soda Fouataia. lie was ringing the glasses, when the old lady entered the store.

Jones: Heine, sweet word !' dear to every hu- jn; :i heart ;. synonym for love, rest and heaven, 'The love v.e cherish for the home that shelters us, is akin, in its. depth and intensity, to that we bestow* upon the dear ones who gather within its walls. Though our homes are humble, and our means limited, and the struggle for daily bread unceasing, yet it is within the power of all t o increase the beauty and attractions of home. While the possession of wealth gives \he power to furnish a luxurious home, and gratify tastes that are often denied, its absence does not deny the skill, nor L^ive the tact that can make our country homes models of taste and beauty. The o\eis hadowing tree, the climbing lose, the quiet room, unpretentious it; f its adornments. tasteful in its simplicity, with its quiet corner and in- structive brtok, with which to improve the leisure hour tire within the reach of all. P.ti-t while We adorn our Gather a single blado of grass, and ex- amine for a minute, quietly, its narrow sword-shaped strip of fluted green, no!h- ihg, as it seems there of notable good- ness or beauty. A very little strong! h and a vert little talliiess, and a few •'.:'.;• cate, bmg lines meeting in a,point —not a perf. ft point either, but blunt and unfin- ished -by no means a creditable or i.e parently much-cared for example of Na- ture's workmanship; made, as it seems, only to be trodden on to-day, and to-mor- row cast into the oven ; and a little pale and hollow stalk, feeble and fiacld, lead- ing down to the dull biov/n 'fibres of roots, And yet think of it well, and judge wheth- er of all the gorgeous ilowers that beam in summer air, and of all strong and good- ly trees, pleasant to the eyes or good for food —stately palm and pine, strong ash and oak, scented citron, burdcmvl vine- - there beany by man so deeply loved, bv God so highly graced, as that narrow- point of feeble grass. And well does it fulfil its mission. Consider what we owe to merely the meadow grass, to the cov- ering of the dark ground by that glori- ous enamel, by the companies of those soft and countless and peaceful spears. The field-,!

Valley of J-oliosliaphat. It being Sunday, in tho afternoon whilst amusing myself with the periptuio and its history, I came in contact with tho Valley of Jehoshaphat and whilst reviewing this wonderful Valley, I was almost lost in the shades of darkness, as the immensity of the place, is so great and its wonders so remarkable. Pan on entering the Valley it is singul vr that three of the great icli liOuld 1M designated as t of the last great judgmi nt. the Tb seei-ic .lew here looks for the appearaiice of the Messiah, and the destr net ion of his ene- mies; ou yonder terrace wall of Mount Moriah, that overhangs this Vallm,,'Mo- hammedan will tell you that hi; Prophet will sit t o j.udge tin; world, whilst from yonder summit of O'.ivet llm Sivmur ascended to lieaven, and great numbers of most denominations of (5-ospel really think that on this s?lf-same spot the Sav- iour of the world will descend, and that before him all nations of the ' earth will be gathered together. Well is this wild ravine called the Valley of- Decision. Jews, Mohammedan and Christians all as-ree in the propriety of the present name. Jerusalem ! Jerusalem ! Not a place hast thou in the religious faith and affections of the world. The head of this great Valley is at the north side of Je- rusalem, and the commencement is very shallow but as you descend tho Valley and go a little south and' com mposite SI. Stephen's ga'e, t!m depth is one hun- dred feet, and width four bundnd i-.-et. Then a little to the northward you will cross tho Valley nestling u.ider the shadow of the da e p declivities ot Olivet. That is one of the sacred spots thai should be embalmed in the memory of every Christian. Then comes the garden of Gethsemane. (Jan we possibly pass here without shedding a tear, knowing this was the place that our Saviour sweat alid toiled for us i n order that we might rest with Him i n His father's kingdom. As yon continue the Valley it rapidly deepens,, and hills rise in deep precipices on both sides. Passing tho fountain of Snlmm, th..; w read so much of. we i.ass on.
