BY JULIAN A. SELBY. A Swell at the Gallows ?The first Earl of Hollaud war-, a great dandy, who played a prominent and nut alto? gether reputable part in the history of his time.' He was a favorite at the courts of James I uud Charles I; but when the civil war broke out, he at first sided with the Parliament ngaiuat the king. In an unlucky hour ho wont over to the royalist side, took up arms against the commonwealth, was de? feated, made prisoner, put to triul and duly sentenced to lose his head. Ho appeared upon the Boaffold in a whito satin vest und nap trimmed with silver lace. His costly garments were tho lawful perquisites of the executioner, to whom the Earlsaid, as he approach? ed the biock: -nere. my friend, lot my body and my clotheB alone; there is ten poundB for thee; that is better than my clothes, I am Bure. And when you take up my head, do not take off my cap." Then laying his neck upon the block, he added: "Stay, while I give the sign." After a brief prayer he etiotched out his hand, Bay? ing, "Nowl nowl" The word had hardly left bis lips when the axe fell, and the head waB severed from the body at a single Btroke. Why not abolish the ohuroh steeple? Is there any part of a bnilding so ut? terly useless as a steeple? It cao nei? ther be oonstruoted nor kept in repair without great danger to human life, and it doesn't look well after tho beat that can be done for it has been done. As if Heaven itself were protesting against the folly of this unsightly heap, scarcely a thunder-Btorm passes over the country which does not hnrl its bolts againBt Bomo ohurch steeple. During a storm, thin Bummer, in New Jersey, a steeple waB struck three times in succession. The other day, light? ning Btruek the steeple of a ohnrch in Ohio, and nine women in the church were prostrated, five of whom may never recover. Why should we set np targets for the lightning? Even if the road to Heaven really hea through the atmosphere, we have surer guides to it than ohuroh spires. We would be gainera by building onr churches on modeBt plans. The atory of the Tower of Babel is quite enough to show that Heaven is brought no nearer by build? ing high into the air.
