I've been sorely ponied and perplox'd t When thinking of the ?a? ?nd moon and ao on, To know what principle, when they were aax'd, Those who firat flxM their gender chose to go on. I will not aay that I've hean ever vex'd. Whto this same thing I'vo chanced a "**'^titwu({fcl U> Uutra on,1 "?." ?. But it hapi glysnjj?^ j^easeni?g powdar,aomo Whywe should he the one, and ah? the other. The moon and woman! lhere may be, I own, Point? of reeemblanco moro than one or two, Twenty, for aught I know, might e'en be .ho wo, I'd ?tat? them if I'd nothing else to do; , But se I havo I'll leave the thom? alone And yet, on second thongbts, I'll give a few, Lett carping critica, who aro apt to chatter, Should say I never thought about the matter: Imprimis, then, they both ahine moat at. night The on? on earth, the other in the sky; I might say both refleot a borroxctd light, Bat this, perhaps, the ladies would deny And they, I own, nave an undonbted-right To know what charma they borrow or they boy; e 'tia, whenever anything is bought And paid for, 'Us it? owner's, as it ought. Bnt passing thoir discussion as a,theme Too delicate, to dwoll on, I may say That whether both dispense a borrowed gloam Or not, there's much resemblance in the ray Which ah?nco from each; though beautiful the beam. It is not steady like tho light of day, ' Bat an uncertain, fascinating splendor; A little coolish, too, when man grows tender. Another point of likeness to my view, Being, J. think sn accurate beholder, Is this-when ladies and when moona are new They're both a little coy; bnt when grown older, They don't sainte yon and then bid adieu Both in a breath, bat grown a little bolder, And more disposed to give yon time to admire, And are m no great harry to retire. Let's try again: The moon, it has boen said. Has a strange influence on folks half crack d; And I have either heard, or somewhere read, Of the "Lunatic and Lover all compact," Which Bcoma as if 'twere thought by some ill bred. Though two 'such wretches should be straightway raok'd. That 'tia not till man's reasoning powers are gone Woman can claim his noddle SB her own. But this point of resemblance, though it might Strike some as very striking,-i just mention; I should be sorry to bo impolite And ?till moro sorry to exalte discussion Among voa lovo-Blck swains, who oat of spite Woola ?wear I had somo sinister intention; Their heads I leave to those who choose to win '?rn,. 'Tis no affair of mine what brains are in 'em. Well, to proceed: I find I must make haste, And not on every point of semblance boro, Or I shall both my timo and patience waste, And try my reader's patience, whioh is more; For when a joke is not to our taste It's apt to make one feel a little sore, Beeidoa it might be thought lt was my aim To prove the moon and woman are the same. I, therefore, shall with brevity pass over Various resemblances between the twain, How both when akies are clear, smile on a lover, And leave him in the lurch in clouds and rain, As well as many a thorne I might discover In aither's rise or aet, or wax or wano; But as I might be prolix, I forbear Besides, I must their difference now compare. The moon and woman differ, then, in this: The first is trae to nature and its lawc, It never leaves its sphero nor does amiss, It apes no artful wiles, asks no applause, In all ite changes still unchanged it is In loveliness and beauty from this cause; Since first created it has cheated no man I fear we cannot say all this- for woman. Again: The moon sheds her impartial-beam On rich and poor with jost the same delight; Youth, beauty, ugliness and ago, aU seem The same to her, to each uer smiles aro bright. She sometimes may withdraw her gentle boam, But not capriciously, still loss in spite, I doubt much if these qualities are common With her to whom we give the name of woman. I might, if I had time and inclination, And were not fearful of exciting riot, Give other instances of variation, Which some would smile, and more perhaps would sigh at: I give but one, defying disputation: Women are talkative-the moon ia quiet Were there no other cause, I might opino, This fully proves the moon not feminine. UNDER SENTENCE OF DEATH. It was 3 o'clock, on a fino warm after? noon in the latter end of April. The garden at the rear of the comfortable, white-washed, thickly-thatched cabin was abundantly stocked with early crib? bage and potatoes; everything bore the look of bumble prosperity; from the bine smoke curling np from the freshly made fire on the kitchen hearth to thc green meadows where tho cows were lying, peacefully ruminating. Abroad river, glistening in the snn's rays, rolled smoothly beside the boundary wall of their pasture. Yet Kate Moran stood ut her father's door, looking sadly across the river to the mass of shipping, houses and spires, whioh rose on tho other side. "Mother, honey, I can't keep my eyes aft' that dh read fui place!" said she, turning, as she spoke, to an elderly wo? man, who sat knitting on a bench near the fire. "Musha, ncushla, what good'U that do ye?" said she, rising and going over to the door also. "Come in, now," putting her hand on her daughter's shoulder ca? ressingly. "Ob, mother! To think o' tho poor fellow bein'-" here she fairly broke down and burst into a wail of distress. "Whist, now!" cried her mother. "Here's your feither comin', and don't let him seo ye oryin'." Kate ran hastily into a bed-room, ns her father entered the kitchen. "There's no oh ance for the poor cray thur, Pat?" asked his wife, as a broad faced, good-humored-looking man came forward and sat down on the settle. "Chance?'* said he, roughly, while his face clouded. "Sorrow chancel He'll be hung as sure as I've this pipe in me hand." "Lord have mercy on his sowl, the cray thur!" moaned his wifo. "Oh, mush! amin," said her husband, sighing. "I'm goin' in wud the cowlt to the fair to-morra, an' to seo the last of him. It's niver I thought to seo poor Mike Welsh's son on a gallos!" The Ban was setting over tb? opposite hUl, where the toll "W^gl^Jy??*? rove ia terraces and steep lanes, end Was ??ifiS ? crowned the height The red light seemed to be concentrated on one'.pail of .the.baildiDg, where .there was an "on gate-way, spiked ?nu doable-looked. Far above,-in the dark, massive wall, was a small blaak door. And ben oath t hi? door, and around this' gato-way, men were busy, putting np strong timber railings; while a crowd, talking and ges? ticulating, constantly pressed Ta among the workmen, and were driven back by officials in uniform and a fow soldiers. Inside tho massive walls, other work? men were bnsy, but their work was com? monplace enough. Something was wrong with the groat main lewer of the jail. Masons and bricklayers had been labor? ing for some hours; and now, when the oity dooks and bells wore striking six, they were taking up their tools, putting ou i heir coats, and leaving their work till next (lay. There were no rough jests among them. One man laughed as his companion slip? ped down 'into the slimy ditch -whence they had emerged; but his merriment was checked by un involuntary look from the others toward the far side of the yard; where a man in a felon's drees, and with manacled hands, was walking slow? ly up aad down. "Lord have mercy on his sowl !" mut? tered aa pld mason, oompassiooately. "Poor Tim Welsh I As honest a boy afore he got into bad company, aa iver a father rared." Whether the prisoner had caught the sound of his name or not, he raised his head and looked sadly toward them. "Lord help him I" said two or three of the men, "for makin' away with one poor sheep-what a rich maa had pleuty of r Aa official came across the yard to look at their day's work, and after asking some questions, walked away, saying, "Come along now, the gate is open." So, casting a backward glance at the manacled prisoner, the mon passed through aa aroh into an inner court, whence the great door opened them out into tiie street. 'The manacled man gazed after their retreating.figures, with a sigh-almost a groan-aa he thought of their return to their homes, free and happy from their honest labor, while he-the "rap, rap, rap, tap, tap," of carpenters' hammers outside beat at the thought he could not dwell apoa. There was no one with him, no one near him, bat a turnkey pacing np and down aa anglo of the building; for in those days there was far less vigilance thaa aow. He was not confined to his cell on this, the last day of his lifo, but was permitted to walk about the quad? rangles of the prison; apart from the other criminals, however, and securely handcuffed. Bitter and despairing wore his tho jghts. He thought of his gray-hair? ed widowed mother, of his stalwart young brothers, of the lads he had played ball with, of Katie Moran, whom ho had danced with at i he fair only two months ago. Mechanically he walked across the square to the place where the brick-lay? ers and masons had been busy; thiaking as ho did so, half unconsciously, how large the opening was, how long the great sewer was, and where it emptied itself. Suddenly a thought occurred to him, making his pale, thin, face flush, and his fettered hands tremble with ex? citement. He turned sharply away lest he should exoite suspicion, and loitered with his former heavy step toward tho door-way of tho inner court-yard. '.Goin' in, are you?" said tho turn? key. "Yes," replied the prisoner. The official stalked on before him into the adjoining square, then opening a door, passed through n long stone corri? dor, and stopping before a cell door, un? locked it. "If you want anything, you can call," he said, graciously, through the trap in the door, as he relocked it. "Thank ye," answered the condemned man. If the official had been better skilled in reading faces, he might have looked to the fastening of the cell door a little more carefully. Tim Welsh had noticed that the bolt of the lock was very shaky, and he knew that a shaky bolt can bo forced back. It would aot be dusk for a long while yet, but he ooold not wait; the one chance-desperate-hopeless, os it seem? ed-mast be tried quickly. While the turn-key's step re-eohoed in his hearing, ho, stillffottered, unscrewed] the iron leg of his bedstead, and, stealing forward, waited until he heard the great doors at the end of tho corridor clash; then, put? ting the leg of the bedstead between tho bolt and the wall, ho strove with all his strength to force it back. But it resist? ed, and he dared not make a noise. In despair ho replaced the leg, and sat down to recover breath. Soon he heard another turn-key coming. Ho went to the cell door and cnlled. "What is it? What d'ye want?" "A dhrink of water, piase; I'm very thirsty." When tho turnkey had brought in the water and retired, Welsh, who had been watching the lock, saw that, though gone to its pluce, it was not half so for gone ns before. He drank tho water to cool his burning mouth and parched throat, nnd seizing tho iron leg again, listened as before until tho doors clashed, when, placing tho iustrument in the old place, he-first gently slinking the bolt-gave a vigorous blow, the sonnd of which was lost in the noisy echoes from tho shut? ting doors. The bolt shot back, ho pulled the door open, and peered around; returning to his bed, he replaced the leg, and made up a bundle under the clothes, as well as ho could, with the aid of the bolster; then closing the cell door softly after him, he ran lightly down thc gallery to the door that opened into the yard. The key was in it, ho turned the key, and glanoing around for tho second timo, shut it after him, and .JJ**. AiLl99mi}V*mwmaj a darted across $? tho arched door-way, where a sentry paced. How to get past the soldier was the question, while he trembled in,mingled Sojfiat ;4he .aouifr of tto?#, rap, rap, tap, tap," coming freshly to his ears, and the. thought of probable free? dom, and more probable recapture. At this moment the sentry tornad back on bia bent, and. the prisoner, of ouching in the door-way, atole swiftly along by the Wall lo' ThtT opposite side ?f?tbe" yard, and slunk in beside a buttress. The opon sewer was on the same side, bat further down. Trembling in every limb, he lay huddled up, not daring to move, lest he should attract attention, nntil the sentry turned for the third time. Then ho fled along by the wall, and dropping into tho sewer, crept into the darkness there. ..Safe for a while, anyhow, glory be to God!" he gasped. But aa the poor creature pushed his way onward, through the foul air, in a stooping position, with his fettered hands pushed out before him to feel his way, a deadly sickness caine. ' Still, the faintly glimmering prospect of escape kept himup. Fortunately there wore but few rats. Five or six times ho felt them hiting at his feet, from which his coarse stockings had long since been cut to pieces, and heard them squeaking as they scram? bled up the dripping wall. "Will I iver smell a fresh breeze again, Lord help me?" he groaned. As he crawled along under the principal streets he could bear the carriages rolling over his head, and at one grating to whioh he came, he heard the words of a song, chorused by some men near a public house. At length, after he had been more than eight hours on his way, he heard the rolling of the river, saw a faint gleam through the pitchy darkness, felt a faint fresh breeze from thc flowing tide. A few more steps-falling in his eagerness -and the glimmer grew clearer, the breeze grew fresher, and he reached the river bank. It was just 4 o'clock, and the olear solemn light of the dawn was shed over the sleeping city; the gardens were fresh in carly frmt and flowers; the noble river rippling serenely on the other side. Yery far off they looked, and the river-cold, broad ana deep, lay between; yet tho undaunted fugitive, fettered, aching, sick, exhausted, muttered another prayer and plunged in. The cold water gave him a temporary strength; keeping nia eyes fixed on the goal ot his hopea, he swam on, almost entirely by the movement of his legs and feet, as his hands were, nearly useless to him. But the bracing effect of the cold shock was soon followed by a distressing numb? ness. His utmost efforts barely sufficed toflkj^i?Jh?)ad aboVe_ water add pro? pel?Ma slowly o?w?tfd/ "Blower and fainter bMame each Btroke, and a wave of the rising tide rushed over his head, when, with a gurgling moan, he made a last effort and his feet touched ihe bot? tom. * "** /: He now stood upright, and slowly waded to the low, muddy shore, where he sank down on the sedge and sea pinks, and swooned away. "I must be stirrin' meself," said Pat Moran to his wife, about half-past fonr o'clock that morning. "I've a power to do. I've to take the cowlt to the fair, and the turnip field to plough aforo I go." Just as tho first beams of golden sun? light were resting on the cabin chi m a dys, and on the high buildings of the city hills opposite, he led his two horses from their stable to tho river, where*the plough lay, and having yoked them, be? gan turning up tho furrows afresh. "It's a fine mornin', glory be to God!" he soliloquized, "only for the poor sowl that's to see the lost of it. Masha! What's that 1 Won, thin," he cried, sud? denly catching sight of something which looked like a heap of muddy clothes. "Lord save us 1" And without losing a moment he ran down to where the un? conscious man was lying, face downward, on the sedge. Pat Moran's first impulse was to run for help; his next to raise the body gently and drag it further up. The mo? tion aroused the poor half-dead creature. "Who, in heaven's name, are ye, an' what brought ye here ?" inquired the farmer, looking in terror at the hand? cuffs. "I'm-aren't you Pat Moran ?" "Yes." TO BE CONTINUED.
