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 leadsmnan then coinlllelced to
feel the prisoner's neck with his hand. lie
It lloidedt his head with an air of. satisfaction.
"That's i good ieck," lie imirimire(l.

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. Dit his bull-t had re
lounded, the king wearing i mail-clad
vest. What Sefeloge's motive was in at

of crack-brained utopist, and a miunber of
eminent physicians pronounced him insane.

PUMPKINS FOR COWS. - This very

But, the only accurate test, Iin any given

weigh grains and cobs separately. If
