Under the; Axe. The Jailer of Moabit prison in Betliu, en tered on the 24th of September, 1850, a dark cell, in which a tail man, 11Pwith long black hair, and a pair of restless dark eyes in a face by no means unprepossessing, was chained to the wall. "Sefeloget" said the jailer, in a tremu loUs Voice, "Will you he a man? The prisoner looked at. him with an expression of terror. lie muttered a few intcolorent. words. "To-mlorlow at day-break," pro eecdod the Jailor, "all will be over." The1 pr B mer sprang to his feet. The clanking of his chains caused the Jailer to shuddcr. "You mean that I shall not be amlong the land of the living to-morrow morning at daybreak ?" he gasped stepping close up to the jailer. The latter nodded his head. "You will now be prepared for the scaf fold, Sefeloge," he said to the prisoner. Sefeloge uttered a cry of torror, and stag gered back to his h1umble couch. I'm not prepared to die," he moaned, bursting into tears. "l18 there no hope ?" 'None. IIe will be here directly." "Who?'' "The headsian, lIle will cut off your hair." A convulsive tremor passed through the prisoner's frame. Ile began to titter heart rending cries. At this moment the door of the cell opened. A middle-aged man of very resolute mien stepped in. "You can leave us alone," said the newcomer to the jailer who quietly withdrew. And now commenced a truly revolting scene. The prisoner shrank from the stranger in mute despair. "You had better be as docile its possible. I am the headsman, said the stranger. "Sit down by my side." "No I No I" shrieked the ill-fated pris oner, "I am not ready to die yet." "You shall not (tie yet," rejoiied the headsman. "You will be deapitated to morrow." "No! No I The headsman.dragged him by his chain toward him. The priiner endeavored frantically to resist him, but the headsiman's great strength enabled him to overcome the resistance of the struggling wretch. While tie latter was wildly clanking his chains, thle headsmn cut off IIe collar Of his coat with a small, but very sharp knife. The shirt collar was removed, and with a pair of sharp scissors the hair of the prisoner was removed, the whole operation consuning but a few minutes. In the meantime the prisoner, whom the touch of the cold steel caused to shudder again and again, uttered loud yells, groans aid impre Cationls. "Oh, that imly bullet had not missed the heart of that cruel king!" he fiially ex lalned. "Silence !" thundered the headsman. "Another such remark and I shall have to gag Youl !" ")own with King Frederick William the Fourth !" cried the prisoner delantlv. The next sec'Oid the healsnan had fas feledi a snmall iron gag in tle mouth of his victm. The latter tried to cry olit, but was able to produce only a sort of low gurgling HOund.

The doomed111 man was no other than a wouhl-h1e regicide, 8e feloge, who had deliberately fired at the breast of King Frederick William the Fourth, of Plrussia.

What Sefeloge's motive was in at tempting to shoot king lis never been lefi nitely ascertained. lie seemed to be a sort of crack-brained utopist, and a miunber of eminent physicians pronounced him insane.
