In Tlie Lollards i Tale" found ed on" 'the'' persecution's- which marked the "early part of; the 15th century a work of considerable value and inter estthere are some impressive descrip tions of the celebrated Christian Refor mer,! John Huss.-The account of his inartyrdora cannot fail to arouse deep attention., -The age of persecution by lire bnd faggot is passed, but here is an instance; ot its destructive, sweeping, . heartless severity, while it lasted. The 1 following, extracts from the work, do scriptive of j the burning of John Huss, we think it impossible for any one to read without the most painfnl emo- tions :v . , j .:,.:.,. : v The. procession moved on. Huss, absorbed m pious meditations, was on ly awake to joyful hope j and the tno- mentary .weakness which had come o ver him in the church, had given place tp the most calm and settled fortitude. Arriving at the gate of the Episcopal palace, he saw a pile of wood, and be lieved that he was already at the place of execution. He was soon, undeceiv ed y for, the wood being fired, he saw his writings brought forward, and suc cessively thrown into the flames. A smile played on-his features, whit h he tried but in vain to smother, while he witnessed this vain experiment j ami turning to the crowd with the utmost composure, he 'declared that 'his writ ings were consumed, not lor the er rors which they contained, but to gra tify the ignoble rage of his adversa ries. , . . , -t ' i 'The sun shone bright, but a show er of rain had fallen, and in the circle of which Huss was admitted to view the destruction of his books, he saw a .large earthworm in his path. He step ped a little aside to avoid treading on it. One of his guards, who observed this, placed his foot on the reptile with an air of bravado. jI would call the worm my brother,' said the martyr, 4 and truly we are bro thers in misfortune J for we perish by the same cruelty.' " He now approached a large areaj which had been cleared frontlie crowd, who still anxiously 'pressed forward wherever 7 the vigilance of the guards . was relaxed. It was opposite the gate ' of Gottlebian, and between the gates "and gardens of the suburbs. In the centre he saw an accumulation of fag gots, "amidst which a strong post was ''. erected. Several'men were eriiployed In carrying iriorcwopcl in the open 'space, and four, large bundles of straw were placed beside the faggots. A man of ferocious aspect stood near the Lpost bout - which the faggots were , piled, lie was-engaged in disentangling the coils of a rope, which had been recent ly immersed in waterahd two or three chains were laid' across a bench, with -an appearance of careful arrangement. 4 Huss-hatf no difficulty in recognizing Irf this man:his executioner-nd in the pltfce to which he had now been cori d u c ted, the spot on vfii ch he was to die. fv'v(--"i5." ': ' : " Though the a rifortunate Huss was surrounded by such, beings, who had . wrought themselves' up to suppose that V the. torture and death of a virtuous man would be an acceptable spectacle to a God of mercy, there were many among the crowd,' whose "piety fell short of that zeal which could contemplate the meditated sacrifice without shuddering hnrroiv These-now; made their voices heard, remarking,, that in whatever w ay the sufferer had before offended;, he prayed most tteyqutyv aouv "iev 'su ed he might be indulged with confes- sbr. But a priest who had been pre " sent at the council," and ; was now rid ing within the icircle, called outon per ceiving the impression which the inar .tyr's words had made, that being a con victed heretic,. those entrusted with the punishment of his ottences ougnt , not to suffer, him to be heart!.-pAt the same time, he declared that no: confessor couldb'e allowed to approach one. so accursed cut oft Trom ; and -already dead, . to the church. ' f , V The executioner then took from person a wiiite coat, honor of h U anticipated deliverance. A frock, pre pared with pitch, and tar, was brought to him, and wearing this, he was con ducted to the stake. -His hands wre bound, and two faggots, with straw in termixed, were placed beneath his fe(et, A wet rope was put round him, and this' was tied to the stake, when a plir tial murmur run through, those who ijad been admitted within the garden pa Huss .started. f An idea crossed LP. his mind that possibly Sigismund had re lented 5 but this was immediately dis missed, when the priest who had befpre spoken to reprove the cries of the crowd advanced to give expression to the feel ing which. had just manifesed itself. ' Huss was first tied round the mid dle with cords A - chain was passed over these, and chains were fastened to his left leg and his neck. Thus se curely bound to the stake, the faggots provided Tor the occasion, were piled to the chin 5 straw was placed beneath and between them, where it was thought likely most effectually to contribute to the fiercenessof the blaze. "A moment of awful cxpectat followed. The executioner approacj ion led with a lighted torch ; when the Duke of Bavaria rode up to Huss,, and I mi called to him demanding that he should now renounce his errors ; at the errors ; ime time rennndina: mm mat in a lew mo- m"ents it would be out of his power to do so. 4 1 thought the danger already past;' he replied, but happily, I am nothing tempted to gainsay what I have hereto fare advanced. I Lave taught the truth, and am now ready to Weal it with mv blood. Ultimately it shall . prevail, though I may not see it. This day you kindle the flames of persecution, about a poor and worthless sinner, but- ih'e 'spi rit which animates me. shall, phoiutx like, ascend from my ashes, s ar ma jestically on high through many suc ceeding ages, and prove to dl the chris tian V 01 i(I,.how yam tins persecution, how impotent your rage.". 1 ne martvr rumen as lar as his bands would admit, and. looked wards - llie executioner, who, liad proached to kindle the - fire. movement caused some of the ouler fagots to fall- ITnon this, tin fl.trUinnr torch was laid down; till the wood'- 00 " . .

The rapidly extending tjiaze spread round the pile"; while, seizing the last moments that remained to him on earth, Hus prayed aloud. .He was proceeding, when the 1 ising flame ieiz ed his beard, eyes, and eyebrows, and an involuntary start threw the cap from nis neau. -ins voice was asam nearu fire, which now burst from the ton o the pile behind the stake.
