A REMARKABLE STORY.
- The following siWuIar story is taken
"Illustrations of. Human life,"
author of Tremaine: . . -
The 6torj to which we shall now advert has the
doable value of being told, we presume on Mr
,"Ward's personal knowledge, and of illustrating:
the extraordinary chances on which human life is
suffered to defend. . The cireumsfanflps onenrrrl
to the well known Sir Evan Xepean. in the Home i
aeparimenc. xne popular version ot the Ftory
had been, that he was warned by a vision to cave
the lives of three or four men condemned to die,
but reprieved; and who but for the vision would
have perished through the under Secretary's neg
lect in forwarding the reprieve.. On Sir Evan's
being subsequently asked how far this story was
true, his answer was: "The narrative romances a
little, but what it alludes to was the most extra
ordinary thing that ever happened to me." The
simple facts, as told by himself, are these: One
night, during his office as under Secretary, he felt
the most unaccountable wakefulness that could be
imagined; he was in perfect health, had dined
arly, and had nothing whatever on his mind to
keep him awake. Still, he found all his attempts
to sleep impossible, and,-from eleven till two in
the morning, he never closed his eyes. At length
weary of his struggle, and ns the twilight was
treating (it was in summer) ho determined to
A. 1 1 4 . ' . . .
iry wnac woum be tno etfect ot a walk in the
park. There he saw nothing but the sleepy sen
tinels. But, in his walk, happening to pass the
Home office several times, he thought of letting
himself in with his key, though without any par
ticular object. The book of entries of the day
fcefore still lay on the table, and through sheer
listlessness he opened it. The first thing he saw
appalled him "A reprieve to be sent to York for
the coiners ordered fur execution." The execu
tion had been appointed for the next day. It
truck him that he had received no return to his
order to 6end the reprieve. He searched the
"minutes;" he could not find it there. In alarm,
he went to the house of the head clerk, who lived
in Downing street, knocked him up, (it was then
past three,) and asked if he knew anything of the
reprieve being sent. In great alarm, the chief
clerk could not remember. " You are scarcely
awake," said Sir Evan, i( recollect yourself, it
must have been sent."
The clerk now recollected he had sent it to the
clerk of the Crown, whose business it was to
forward it to York.
"Good," said Sir Evan. " But have you his
receipt and certificate tliat it is trone ?"

. , . NOT MINE, BUT THINE.,
Thy way, not mine, O Lord, i ;
However dark it be;
Lead me by Thine own right hand, : - -Choose
out the path for me. ,
Smooth let it be or rough,
It will be still the best;
Winding or straight it matters not,
It leads me to Thy rest.
I dure not choose my lot,
I would not if I might;
But choose Thou for me, O my Qod,
So I shall walk aright.
The kingdom that I seek
Is Thine; so let the way
That leads to it, O Lord, be Thine,
Else I must surely stray.
Take Thou my cup and it
With joy or sorrow fill;
As ever best to Thee may seem,
Choose Thou my good and ill.
Choose Thou for me my friends,
My sickness or my health;
Choose Thou my joys and cares for me.
My poverty or wealth.
Not mine, not mine the choice,
In things or great or small;
Be Thou my Guide, my Guard, my Strength.
My Wisdom and my All.
' "Daddy," said a young hopeful, i "let's go up to
the nine-phi alley and roll ?" " Roll what boy,
what do you know about rolling?" "Me know
about it? Why, I can roll your darned eyes out
in less than in ten minutes." Daddy ought now
to quit going to the nine-pin alley.
A married lady being asked to waltz, gave the
following appropriate answer: "No, thank you
sir, I have as much hugging at home as I can at
tend to."

No.
"Then come with me: we must find him nl.
though it is so early."
It was now four, and the clerk of the Crown
now lived in Chancery Lane. There was no hack
nej coach to be seen, and they almost ran. They
were just in time. The clerk of the crown had a
country house, and, meaning to have a lono- holi-
uay, ue was at mat moment stepping into hig gir
to go to his villa, Astonished at this visit of the
Under-Secretary of State at such an hour, he was
etill more so at his business.
" Heavens!" cried he, " the reprieve is locked
tip in my desk !" It was brought. Sir Evan
sent to the post office for the truest and fleetest
express. The reprieve reached York next morn
ing just at the moment the unhappy men were
ascending the cart.
With Sir Evan Nepean we fully agree in regard
ing this little narrative as one of the most extra
orninary that we have ever heard. We shall go
further even than he acknowledged, and say thuUo
ns it appears a striking evidence of what we should
conceive a superior interposition. It is true that
no ghost appears, nor is any prompting voice audi
ble; yet the result dej ended upon so long a succes
sion of seeming cham es, and each of these chances
was at ence so improbable and so necessary, that
we are almost compelled to regard the whole as a
matter ot an influence not to be attributed to man.
If the first link of the chain might pass tor com
mon occurrence ns, undoubtedly, fits of wakeful
ness will happen without any discoverable ground
in the state of either body or mind stilf what
could be less in the common course of things than
thus waking, he should take it into his head to
get up and take a walk in the park at two in the
morning? Yet, if he had, like others, contented
himself with taking a walk in his chamber, or en
joying the cool air at the wiudow, not one of the
succeeding events could have been realized. Or
if when he took his walk, he had been contented
with getting rid of the feverish ness of the night,
and returned to his bed, the chain would have
bfeen broken; for what was more out of the nitural
course of events than that at two in the morning,
the idea should come into the head of any man to
go to Lis office, and sit down in the Imelv rooms
in ins uepanment, lor no purpose of business or '
pleasure, but simply from not knowing what to
do with himself? j
Or if, when he had let himself into tliosa solita
ry rooms, the book of entries had not lain on th !
table; (and this we presume to have been anions j
the chances, as we can scarcely suppose books 7f !
, this omcial importance to be generally left to their
.fate among the servants and messengers of the
office;) or if the entry, instead oi being on the
first page that opened to his eye, had been on
any other, eveu the second, as he might .newer
have taken the trouble of turning the page, or if
he and the chief clerk had beenn e minutes later
at the clork of the Crown's house, and iisate.ul of
finding him at the moment of getting into hi
carriage, had been compelled to incur the delay of
bringing him back from the country, ail the pre
ceding events would have been useless. The
people would have die 1 at York, for, even as it
was, they were stoppel on the very verge of exe
cution. .The remarkable feature of the whole is that the
-chain might have been snapped at every link, and
that every link was equally important, li, the
calculation of the probability of any one of these
occurrences, a mathematician would Cud the
ehanccs very hard against the probability of the
whole. If it is asked 'vhether a sufficient ground
for this high interposition is to be discovered in
saving the lives of a fe-.v wretched culprits, who,
18 frequently in such cases, probably return to
meir wicked trade as soon as thev escaped, and
