Davis and Mac- Laughlan, Ho finally requesstod tho clorgymon to administor tho sscramont, e¥ating in reply to their inquiries, that ho desired thereby to show his perfoct submission to tho will of God, and his confidence in hir, and furth ormoro that it would bo & comfor to his mothwr whon sho herrd of it, giving fher as it would, & most eatis- faotory assurance of! his religious smd edifying ond, They wero sa tisflod of Lis sincerity, and gave him the broad:and wino.

YESTEI DAY MORNING, About 9 o’cloock, tthe crowd bogen to arrivo. Hissistor-in-law, Mra. Potors, with his childron, Mra. Talt, oneof hisfrhonds, and seyeral roport- ors, made their appea ance. Presontly Sergt. Lull camo in sight, in.command of & squad of twelve policemen, who . wero supposcd to bo on Quty ontside, but who fron timo to time, ran in to look at Drivor or thio scaffold, and whoso grent ambitlon was to foel-of the rope. Mr. Driver was in his cet'l at tho westorn end of the northern corridor. Ho sat on his bod, pmoking & short brinr-wootl pipo, was neatly dresged, and locked so muckt at ease that ono might have taken him for au otfcer of the jail, who . had just mtopped Into & coll to bave & quiet * smoke, The smallor children. stood outside,'. moturally very much unconcarned, for thoy" had no iden what the matter was. - All thoy coula! 8ee %os ihat Pa woa belng made n gronk deal meo of han hed ever bofore been tho case. Tho ¢dest gfil kept romarkably quiot, but } * THE DOY, WILLIAM, @id nothing of the kind. He aston ished overy- body abouk the jail,"and that means .» good deal, Ho looked upon tho wholo thing t\s a cirous, which wonld list only for a short timo,. and that, therefore, it wad mecessary for him ‘to hurmy around- and sce whint was to be soen. * Ho was accompanied by & ‘subordinate cresturs, & young friend of his own age, to whom be oxplained things. Tho boy had broakfast, but ho could Dot reaist tho tomptation of & pio which ke saw o his father's coll. It may seom very ghoclting, but it is nevortholess true, that instesd of weep- ing around his father, and gpromising ¢o .go to Bundny School, ond nover, = nover, drink’ any whisky, ho cut fhat ple, and stolo oud ato a place thereof. Belng thus rotrashod, he went out to see the scadfold, on. which tho workmen wore still engagod. Ho went up on i, investigated the trap, furlt tho rope, slippod the noose, and gave it na hiss vor- dict ‘that that rope **wan't stout onough.” ' Mr, Folz said that was n romarkablo boy. Mthen this boy went and converged with tho prisoners, end told them who ho was, and seomed dissad- tsfled that they did not make much of him on account of his relationship to ; TILE OHIEF ACTOR IN THE.DBANA soon to bo enacted. Then ho sauntered back to his father's cell, to sce what was going on there. It is vory probably tho fact, that ho never had much love for o fathor who was always & fittle rough with him. When Driver started put the second time to have his picture taken, tho boy being behind a little, he turnod back, caught him by the arm, and gave him a very un- toving jerk forward. They hnd nothing to eny to ono another until it come to the final loave- taking, and then the boy was not at all domon- strative. A DIFAGREZADLY DUTY. Its one of the most unpleasant parts of this business of roporting oxecutions, to call upon the sontenced man and ask him about hia views of things,—whethor ho is rosigned to his fate, s & realizing assuranceof his recoption among tho rodeomed, eto., oto, Theso aro questions swhich are formal, and must be asked, and yot, atter all, when ono asks them ho hus s foaling that it {s rather importinent, and thinks that L, andor similar eircumsts nces, would get indig- onnt, sodawenr, But tho publio always want to \now whothor a man {8 “rosigned " or not, and 80 the question has to ba sked. But in this case, tho Rov. Mr. Dayis, who has ‘boon his guido to manslons in tho wkios, hnp- poned to bo standing in tho corridor, and thore- fore the question was put to him ns to what Mr, Drivor's viewa woro regarding the imponding crisis, Hosaid that ho was sinceroly resignoed, and ready to moot death with s living faith in salvation through his Lord Josus, Thon ho tbeckonod to Mr. Drivor, who was loafing around in thoe neighiborhood. Goorge came up, and BIr. Davis, putting one arm affectionately over his shoulder, sayas “*Now, George, this gentleman wants to know if you are resigned?” Ceorgo took his cigar out of hls mouth, for ho had diu- carded a pipo, 84 not being solemn encugh, and soid; *Yos, Iam rosigned. I fool that it is all for the bost that I should die, If I was to be epared for & timo, maybo I should not bo asready a4 I am now.” All very n?ulully and bLoneatly said. *Tell him,” goys Mr, D, *if you biave faith that your sius will be forgiven -indiy Qoorgo, **through tho intor- cosslon of Jomn,” *Toll him,” continues tho oclorgyman, *why you took: tho saornmont last night” 1 took it,” enys Goorgo, *sa o tolan that I was rosignod, and that I commit mysolf to Josus” Tho olorgyman would probably have ono atill furthor with the oxamination ‘of his . Jast studont in. thoology, but the reportor aald 1io wan quita satisfiod with Mr. Drivor’s stato of mind, and turned nway from tho rosigned prison= or to tho contemplation of tho facos which were prosnod closo to thio “grates of tho Raudolph stroot windows, TO JI8 OLD MOTHER.

St A FIOHT FOR A HOUL.. . Drivor was in Lis corridor, smoking his oigar, talking sometimos to some of his frionds, an somotimos to Rov, Dr, Davis, whon a littlo driod- up man, smooth-faced, and long-hairod, with a curious old-fashioned surtout which came to his Licels, and an oqually romarkable head-covering, mmade his nfiponnncu ot tho grated door loadin from tho Sheriff’s office into the jnil proper, an bogan shinking at tho bars, sud calling oub for Folz. That worthy let him in, npon which ho Beizod Folz by two buttons and demandod that he might see Driver, Ho grow nervous, and his faood ~ twitohod, oud ho kopt ‘on in- slsting. - The littlo man was Fathor Sott- ors, ono of tho Catholic priosts bo- Jonging to tho Twolfth Stroot Ohurch, and he hiod come thoro in soarch of his siray lamb, Drivor, who, o had undorstood, had gono off into tho wolf's don, Ho wanted to save him, if not too Iato, and, at all ovonts, ho wantod to got the children. ; *Ihs religious sifairs of tho Driver family weorg badly mixed. His family woro Presbyteriana of the strictost, bitterost kind., His wifo was o Roman Catholio.

But in view of the man's Prot- estant antecedents, thoy dotniled a couplo of their number to look after him, and they worked go offectunlly 08 to wvoan him most thoroughly feom * tho orrors and delusions . of antiohriat, now reigning st Rome.” . In fact, Mr, Driver waa g _very promising subject for Mosara. Davia d Maclaughlan, 0 was down on Popo: aod Maglaoghlen, 1% b - if - ko had not been p Catholio he".

This was about the only -thing that Driver could do for his rolatives, and it was quite proper that bLo should to this oxtent ro- liovo their sufferings, .. "The Prosbyterians_were first on tha ground, They had pro-ompted bis soul. Then, thoy wero botter auited for his case than the Oatholio fathor.

Folz wonut ‘Dack to the little man and told him this, but he was pertinacious, ns was only ero or undor tho cirenmstancos, and agafn took Lold ‘of & button and begged for one word, _ Folz returned, and the littlo man edged along after him, twisting bis mouth and making curious littlo grimaces.

As -thoy marchod along, tho prisonors'stared admiringly and raapouzmlf at tho man who was #o_goon to bo hauged, an who could take such lhorties with Folz, So soon s any. reporter, or anybody ‘olso, saw Driver marching along ho fell into lino, and by the timo that Rafforty's coll was ruwi'md, the crowd waa donso onough to fill tho corridor, All wanted to hear the moral retloctions of one, and 2? 800 tho way in which tho othor would receive hom. e AT e Rafforty and a young follow named Paul Bohaffor, o Jarcony :man, were in_ the ono cell, both pretty well- indrossed, and- both quite un- concorned, Driver ?oc up in front of ‘ths grated door, hiold his cigar In Lis loft hand, and strotch- od tho othor tiraugh tho bata to’ nferty, who shook it vory unconcornedly... ‘The older Driver Doy, with his usual inquisitivoness, and dosiro to 800 avorything connocted with the sliow, worked his way “throngh the crowd, and gob nl: to tho door, whoro o listonad to his father o littlo, but ptatod ab Roflorty o good doal, Tobid killed o olicoman, aud down whero the boy lived that is rookcfl on ag rather a high-tonod porformance.
