SAVED BY A

HCW.A MINISTER RESCUED TWO MEN I FROM THE GALLOW&

Law of Canada. "I raid not long ago," said a Buffalo citizen, "an amusing account of a man who prayed against time for an object, and it reminded me of a prayer against time that I beard when I wasa boy. That prayer waa a serious matter, too, I •want? to tell you, for the lives of two men deponded on it, although they didn't know It. It flared tbeir lives, but it came mighty near killing the man who prayed. And this ptJt

in mind, too, that only

tho other day in rummaging among some] old papers I found a time stained sheet of paper on which waa printed a poem, a dozen or more verses in length, entitled the 'Mournful Ballad of Carr and Smith.' I hadn't seen or beard or thought of that poem for GO years, but tho moment I saw It every word in those 12 verses came back to my mind, for I had read them so often when I waa a boy that I knew them by heart. I will repeat you the first verse to show you what you might expect of tho! other 11 This is tho way it goes: "Come, all ye weeping friends, and Bee

Alexander Carr die on the gallows tree, For awfnl crime he did commit, To it abetted by Solomon T. Smith. And Hee Solomon, he, too, will die Tho Httme awful fate, be hnng on high. Blind JuHtice with her awful sword Cut* off these two with one accord. "Justico must have been blind indeed in tho case of Messrs. Carr and Smith, for *ho was going to cut them off with her awful sword for tho heinous crime of stealing an ox! Tho poofc, though, wasted the time of his muse, for, although hundreds of weeping friends and othors who did not weep accoptod the invitation of tho ballad, they did not see either Alexander Carr or Solomon T, Smith die on the gallows tree, notwithstanding that Alexander and Solomon T. were both on hand ready to be cut off with ono accord. They were saved, and ssrvod by prayer too. And that's tho prayer I am going to tell yoii about. "It will seem incredlblo that within the memory of any person now living capital punishment was tho legal penalty in Canada for tho stealing of live stock, but such is tho fact, for I remember when that waa the law thoro. Tho year this ballad was printed must havo been 1823, that in which Onrr and Smith were to have been hanged at, tho little village of Vlttoria, not far from Toronto, for the alloged stealing yf an ox. I was a little boy then, living Tn Vlttoria, but I remember tho cireul.iHtanc.es well, although the main incidents I know from having thorn frequently related by othors. Carr was a simple minded man of middle ago, arid-Smith was a younger man of nhout the same mental caliber. A farmer in tho vicinity had an ox stolen one night. Tho skin was found in a placo where Carr and Smith had been Been, and the two men were arrested, charged with being the thieves. The caso mado out against them on tho trial Heomod to satisfy tho jury that |hey vvero guilty, and they were convicted and sentenced to bo hanged. "Among tho«o who hold that hanging for such a crime was no better than murder were the li«v. John Rycrson.n Baptist preacher, and Dr. IloLf, both of Vlttoria. They had doubts also of tho guilt of the condemned men and used all their influence for them on the trial, but in vain The day was set for tho hanging and tho gibbet erected in a public placo. On the morning of the day of exeeutlon Dominie Ilyerson and Dr. Kolf rosolvod to make a final effort to save tho two men. Tho doctor was to mount.

Tho sheriff of course granted JXuninlo Kyerson's request to offer prayer for the two unfortunates. It was a hot day, and there was no shelter for any one from tho fierce rays of the sun, No one had any suspicion that the good preacher had any ulterior motive in making that prayer, and for the first 15 minutes of it tho sherilT and sweltering crowd listened with respectful patience Then something of uneasiness began to take possession of the great audience. But the dominie prayed oa Tho sheriff moved about to call tho preacher's attention to the fact that time was passing, and the sweating crowd began to ssvoy and murmur, Ihitprayur was not to lie rudely interrupted even -on such a pressing occasion ns that, and tho dominie prayed on.

The man was Dr. liolf. and the paper was a reprieve signed by the governor "At the sight of the doctor with a paper Dominie Hyomn fell Insensible on the cart, and it was for along timo a .matter of grave doubt whether he would recover Irtmi the etYeets of tho extraordinary physleal and nervous strain his prayer against: time had subjected him to, btU ho came to in good time. The reprieve led to further investigation Into the cam of Carr and Smith, and the result was a pardon for both of them at^d the abolition of tho death penalty la upper Canada for any crime exocpt murder.

Lot** Poor Wife.

Aooortllng to Harlem Life, a Sunday school teacher was telling the story of Lot's I wife being turned into a pillar of salt, One of her pupils was little Isabel, who had spent nu^t of her life on a western cattle ranch Tho teacher coded the story by saying. "For all I know, the pillar of salt mar be there now." "8ay. was that a cattle country?" asked IsaM

DUTCH WEDDING AN ORDEAL.

Other Cvrlotu Custom* of This teretfins Country.

In-

A Dutch wedding is a portentous business. Smart Holland does its devotions in barnlike French

The wedding service is mournful to a degree and lasts two hours. The bridegroom in full evening dress and the bride in orthodox white satin sit upon chairs in front of the black rob&i minister. He delivers an extempore address fairly bristling with personalities. Meanwhile relatives

d'eeuvre" come speeches. The bride's brother or other delegate first rings a small band bell. Then amid a silence broken by the cheerful clicking of knives and forks a health is proposed. Then comes a quaint postscript to this very ordinary ceremonial. Ladies and gentlemen must alike rise from their seats and, solemnly filing up to the person toasted, touch his glass with their own. After a score of speeches the thing gets monotonous, but it is carried out to the bitter end. Any person omitted would feel aggrieved. In Holland it is the family before everything. A leading barrister was recently compelled to throw up aa important case in order to attend the birthday party of an aged father who lived three hours distant by rail.

The Dutch are excellent husbands, but quite preposterously jealous. An Englishman who found himself ia a party consisting almost entirely of assorted couples ventured to pay a few compliments and mild attentions to a charming young married woman. Ho even bad the assurance to include her in a general offering of roses made to the company. The husband was furious. Ho cancelcd a previously given dinner invitation, and there were awful rumors that, though duels are now very rare, he desired to challenge the offender, who wisely placed the sea between himself and his would be opponent.

Babies have a comfortable time enough in Holland,

where

the cramping swaddling

pillow is replaced by English layettes. It is, howover, expensive to know too many, for every woman who visits or is visited by nurse and infant for the first, time must give the former at least 5 shillings.

Mourning is very long and very strict. Even tho poorest leave off their gold cap pins and headpieces for more than a year after tho death of a parent.—London Globe.

BOOKKEEPING B. C.

Clay Record* ol Business,, Transaction* Temp. Darius II. An American archaeological expedition excavating at Nippur discovered in a room 80 feet bolow the surface some 730 clay tablets, the business records of a rich firm of merchants, UiurashuSons. These documents aro dated In the reigns of Artaxorxos 1 (404-424 B.C.) and Darius II (423 -406 13. C.). Tho tablets are of various sizes, some resembling tho ordinary cake of soap of coinmorce. Thoy are covered with cuneiform characters clear and distinct as when tie bookkeeper of Ulurashu inscribed them 2,500 years ago.

Among theiu is this guaranteo for 20 years that an emerald is so well set that it will not full out: "Bel-ahiddina and Bol-shumu, sons of Bol, and Matin., son of Bazuza, spoke unto Bcl-nadinsbuiuu, son of Morashu, as follows: 'As concerns the gold ring set with an emerald, wo guarantee that for iiO years the emerald will not fall out of the ring If it should lull out bet ore tho expiration of 20 years, Bel-ublddina (and tiie two others) ahull pay to Bul-nadiiishiwiiti an Indemnity of tan mnnn of silver.'

Then follow tho uumesof seven witnesses and of an official who Is described as "the scribe of t4ie Concordance of Proper Names," Tho document concludes with tho thumbnail marks of the contracting parties. 1 here are also leases of various kinds and contracts lor the salo of sun dried bricks and other merchandise, and fur the loan of seed corn and oxen lor plowing.— New York Commercial Advertiser

Yes, dear. Well, Samuels was going home the other flight when a footpad shot at him, and the bail hit a latchkey in Samuels' vast pooket, and his life waa saved So you see what good a latchkey is." "Indeed! If Samuels had been going home at a reasouublo hour, be wouldn't have met any footpad. Secondly, lie carried $10,000 Insurance, payable to hie wife, and if it had Jiot been for that key she would be a rioh widow now. So if you are hunting around for a latchkey you will havo to bring home some bettpr story than that one. That's all. I'm going to bed now, and out goes the gas in two ticks Latchkey indeed!"—Pick Me Up,

On ono occasion Archbishop Temple was welcomed and entertained overnight by a clergyman during tho absence of that clergyman's wife On leaving the host politely expressed the hope that when next his lordship honored tho house Mrs Temple would accompany him. "No. thanks," tho archbishop laconically replied "Mrs Temple doesn't like roughing it."

The clergyman's feelings were deeply hurt, f|3 the \lsSt bad meant sotue expense and tnupt anxiety to him. He unburdened his ffel to his wife on her return. "Why, t«y dear," she exclaimed, "you didn't surely put the bishop in the pink bedroom, did you?" He did. "Oh. then, that's it! I put all the plate In tho bed!"—London Outlook

This goes on for sometime until the car begins to move and both fling themselves at once on tho steps, smashing the corns of another man standing on the platform, an accident that gives rise to more effusions of good breeding. "Oh, sir, how sorry I am to have trod on your feeW I sincerely entreat you to excuse my oversight." "Nevermind," says the victim, gritting his teeth and with tears in his eyes, "it is an honor to be trod on by you." "Thanks for your kindness." "I am myself in duty bound to. thank

you." In fact, dudes from over the sea or from across the Rio Grande may boast of their wealth aftd their Parisian made trousers, belles of other lands of their golden tresses and charming personalities, but no other nation equals the stately dignity of Mexican courtesy.

If it is a great luxury to be taught how to bow and what to do under all circumstances by a gentleman who knows these things because he belongs to the European aristocracy and has behind him a line of ancestors who behaved as well as they could in such matters, it is surprising to observe in a whole nation, even in the humblest of classes, courtesy not produced by artificial means, but gradually and refinedly practiced as a special endowment of nature.

Persons in other countries ore rarely treated to such scenes as those we have attempted to describe, and to many they might appear exaggerated, but let those that doubt come and judge for themselves.

I will cite a few authentic experiences in illustration of the subjoct: An American young lady was onco talking with an old Mexican gentlenian, and she laughingly said something about having some literary work to do.

It was good to see the old fellow's impressive manner and air of perfect sincerity arfhe exclaimed: "Work! Miss, such lips as yours should never mention work. You should be a queen and wear pearls as boautiful as those incased in your

loyely

mouth." Another young woman was overheard to say in English to her mother in jbhe, theater: "Look at that Mexican girl. Do you like her? I think her nose is too long and her features ore too sharp."

Whereupon the Mexican girl said in her most endearing tone in broken English: "Miss, as God bestowed on you all the attributes of perfect beauty, very little was left for mo. Believe me, you are the sweetest creature I ever laid my eyes on, and I never get tired of looking at your charming face."

A young man who happened to foe accidentally struck in one of his eyes by a pretty 16-yoar-old damsel with her parasol 6ald appoallngly while the blood flowed from tho jyound:-

Lovely one, be not cruol,- seeing that cruelty and beauty cannot dwell together!" Nowhere will the stranger find more gonuino civility and kindness than among tho Mexicans.

Their houses, their families, their horses, their flowers, their time, even their lives, are placed, figuratively at least, "at your disposition." "A los pies (do sonora" (My lady am at your feet) is the prescribed form of salutatlou from a gentleman who meets a lady where, if two gentlemen meet, they address one another as follows: "Beso a V. la mono" (I kiss your hand).

Tho same applies to written correspondence. A note from gentleman to a lady euds In this wise: '*Soy de V., senora, atento servldor, Q. SS. PP. B." Tho initials are for "que

bus

pies besa," and the

whole phrase stands for, "I am, my lady, your attentive servant, who kisses your feet."

If a gentleman is addressed in writing. «nly his hands are kissed, not his feot. These formulas are followed not only by the richer but by all classes. As to the poorest-, their courtesy toward one another Is widely differont from the gruff, boorish intercourse of tho plebeians of other nations.

The poor of Mexico cannot frame a sentence without employing one or more terms of endearment. "Como estas, mi alma?" (How are you, my soul?) The words they address each other speak of the gentle consideration for the feelings of their neighbors, which characterizes tho race and emanates from spontaneous courtesy.

A Mexican gentleman will never permit a lady to descend the stairs unaccompanied. He takes her softly by the hand or offers his arm to assist her in going down the steps, and dtily takes leave of her at tho street door, when he 4oes not Insist on leaving the lady at ber own home. lxve is more the business of life in Mexico than ih northern climes, perhaps because other people have more diversion than we have. The ladylove is ardently styled "tho very eyes of me," but that does not prevent the Mexican beau, when ctang by jealousy, *?om denouncing love as treacherous. "Since there Is no help, I bow before you, kiss your feet and depart," is the becoming way in which the unreqnited lover takes leave of the girl that has given him the cold shoulder.

All hope is over, love Is stretched upon his bier, bat tho Mexican whom a beauty dospises, although naturally angered at tho slight, {#3 to feel more keenly than anythi ^tbe annoyance he has given her with -r unremitting attentions "Excuse me, Is-'r lady, for having pot you to the trouble of repelling the audacious revelation of the feeling you have awakened in my bosom." Such is the mild form In which be gitras vent to his rage and despair.—Two Republic*, City of Mexfcm.

BootVs Or«?nt Recltntion That Thrilled mid Fniiclnnted HI* Auditor*. "I think the most thrilling experience I ever passed through was in New York city one time," said James O'Neil, "when, quite by accident, a number of foreign diplomats from Washington, a few American statesmen, some prominent New Yorkers and ono or two of us professionals were gathered together in smoking room of a Well known hotel, and somebody asked Booth, who by tho merest chanoo happened to be there, if he would not repent the Lord's Prnyor for the assemblage. I was sitting not far from the tragedian when ho fixed his eyes upon the man who made tho request. I think that it was Lord Sackville Vest, nt that time British minister to the United States, and I shall never forget the peculiarly searching expression that Booth shot out of his dark eyes. They seemed to penotrato the very soul of the man at whom they wore directed, and thon, as if satisfied, resumed their wonted vacuous density. "We were all breathless with anxiety— at least I was—for seldom would he recite off the stage, but at length he arose, walked to a little cleared space at- one end of the room and began a recital that even after all these years makes me thrill through and through. He said: 'Our Father,' and never before had those two words been clothed with the majesty and reverence,with which his look and tone envoloped them. And then he carried us Into celestial regions, our spirits seeming to leave our bodies and to follow his behest. Ho lowered us into depths too dark for Dante's genius to conceive or Dore's pen to portray. The power exerted over us was simply unnatural.
