In one of the mountain counties of Geor- gia there hives two families; each before the war noted for its wealth and refinement. Since the war the families (whom we shall call respectively R and L) though they had like nearly everybody else, lost everything | by the conflict, still retained the high posi- tion in Society which they had for a long = | where I' put it, but come 10 look for it, it ['ime filled. Oue of them, the L', lost sey- eral of ils members as well as ile fortune, by the war, and at the commencement of our story consisted of Mr. L, a gentleman 55 years of age, his wife, nearly the same age, and an unmarried daughter of about 25.-- Witlun about a quarter of a mile of their | house lived one of she R's, a young man who had recently matried a very beaatiful JOSH BILLINGS ON THE GAME OF EUCHRE, This !ll-bred garm of keards is about 27 years of age.

The young lady, alter consultation with her mother, readily assented to the proposition and promised to come evor during the afternoon . About 9 o'clock Ms. R began to feel a tittle uneasy, as Miss L had not yet come, when a servant came to the house, and brought a note from her expected friend, stating that she would be unable to spend the night with her, as she had promised for her father, from some cause orother, had postively refused to gixe his consent to the arrangement. Afier delivering the note, the servant took lus depaiture, aud the brave woman prepared to spend the night by hetsell. Feeling that she had a protec- tor in a large and very fierce yard dog, be- longing to ber husband, she wok him to her bedioom, aud after securing the house lay down and resigned herself to sleep. About 12 o'clock she was awakened from her siumbers by a noise in the house and the angry growling of the dog, and discovered that the hall door had been forced, and that #ome one was standing at her room sand seckieg an enhance.

"THE RICHEST BOY IN AMEKI & Ca¥ The papers are telling about a boy in New England, now fourteen years of age, who is supposed to be the richest boy in the United States, because he has a great deal of money. To our mind the richest boy "in America is the one who is good hearted, honest, intelligent, a¥ab.tious and willing to do night. He 1s the. one who loves his mother, and always has a kind word for her; who loves his sister, and tries to help them and regards them with true aflection. He isa boy who does not call hus tather the "old man," but who loves him, speaks kindly to ani of thm, as the hairs of old age gather fast upon his ow.

But when set vpon his feet Le was unable 10 stand, owing to weakness and the constrained ana painful position 1n which hej had been kept so long, and his guards were obliged to carry him nto the preciots of the prison. Here an ample breakfast had been provided, of which he ate heartily and with evident enjoyment. -- After a full half hour it was intimated to him that his presence was expected. With the assistance of an attendant on each side, he walked slowly into the execution ground and was placed, kneeling and silting wpon his heels (in the universal Japanese post ure), behind a small hole dug out for the reception of his head. Some ten yards in front ofihim, and separated by a rope run- ning across the square, sat the presiding Yakonin and the prison authorities calmly fanning themselves ; aud beyond those again were the six or eight foreigners who had been admitted. The prisoner's arms were pinioned be- hind his back ; but before the cloth was tied over hus eyes, he requested that a minute's grace might be allowed him. This being granted, ho raised a weak and quivering voice to its highest pitch, and screamed out. 'My friends !? Immediately a unearthly chorus of wails answered the poor wretch {rom his friends outside the walls, none of whom could be seen from the interior.-- This was followed by ¢ Syonara * (good- by), and by a deeper and more prolonged wail from the crowd outside. The prisoner then signaled to his guards that he was rea dy and submitted quietly to the operation of blindfolding ; the executioner stepped up, and carefully adjusting the victim's head a little on one side, s0 as to hang exaclly over the hole prepared to receive it, signified that all was ready ; the word was given, when, without raising his weapon more than a foot above the neck ot the condemn- ed, the executioner brought down his heavy blade with an audible thud which severed the head instantly from the body. Immediately the head fell, it was seized, carefully washed and cleaned, the proces ~ sion was re-formed as before, except that the horse previously ridden by deceased now carried the executioner in charge of the lifeless head --and wended its way toa rai= sed mound at the side of the highway a quarter of a mile distant.
