HOW TO PUNISH A WOMAN.
BY JOHN G. SANE.
St. Michael and Lucifer, meeting 0110 day,
Fell into an angrv dispute;
Tho' thev argued tiie caso in as civil away
As if 'twere a chancery suit.
Tho matter in question no trivial game
('Tis a plausible story, at least,)
Was which ot the two bad the righlfullcst claim
To a lady quite lately deceased,
A woman of fashion, who, standing aloof,
Looked on with a sorrowful face,
While the rival attorneys by balance of proof
Were trying to gettlo tho case.
With a linge pair of scales the trial begins,
Hut her virtues are many and great,
And fairly outNise all the' follies and sins
That iitvs as the opposite weight.
St. Michael, delighted at winning tho prize,
Laughed out in tho merriest way ;
"Nay, tarry a moment I" Sir Lucifer ctles,
'Just look at this bundle, I pray.
' rto pleased to examine these changes of dress
The dnmo was accustomed to wear)
Ten sumptuous gowns, you'll anrely confess,
Wore more than her lad ship's share I"
"I scarce understand ron," his revcrenco said,
( Vnwilling 40 have it appvar
That ever a notion had entered his head
PcrUiuing to feminine gear).
" Of course," said the fiend, "you aro modest,
I know.
That weakness is one of mv own I
Yet. see what the matron has lavished, ft r show,
111 costly app.tru uiono.
" The half of this fin TV, wasted in pr'de,
Would have decently covered and fed
A score of the neighbors who sickened Slid died
for lack of clothing ami bread.
Then into the b.ilancJ along with the sins,
Tho ponderous budget was cast ;
Tim virtues go-tip and Lucifer wins
St. Michael is beat.'U nt last.
"Alas," said tha Saint, " I must fairly allow
The woman was greatly to blame
In this matter ol raiment but pray tell mo how
Yuu mean to dispose ol the ilamc T"
"Why, thus," saiil the liend with a comical frown,
" 110 yon lancy the penally small r
Let her have every morning, another new gown,
And think herself ugly iu nil."
"Most exquisite, torturer!" Michael exclaims,
' I seo tint, your reverence knows
(Onolh Lucifer laughing,) much nioro about
dames. i
Than you're willing to havo ns suppose."
"Oo to !" well, I am rather reluctant 'o nanio
Tho region from whence ho had come;
'Twas hardly so civil, yet 'twas tho same
As if Michael had told him " Uo huiiu."
" I will," said tho Bond, though I've never a
dearth
Of business, wherever I go ;
For government m.ttters, the gravest on enrth,
At present aro managed below.
NOT ALWAYS SO.
Wo wcro not always thus apart,
. Such weary miles between each heart
. Yon dulling love of mine!
When Slimmer sweetness filled the sir,
When skies were blue, liko maiden's eyes,
And gold, like maiden's hair,
'When winds I y bonnd in chains f flowers,
And Natnro smiled through nil tho hours,
Tucsu loud lips until ered miue.
I seo the honey fate stores up
Tu mix in some more favored cup,
I tnsto the gall 11 drink,
And I nm sick with envious pain;
fevers of doubt consume my strength,
And poison every vein, . .
"Kor others, life's delight." I cry,
" But onlr hurts for you and I :'"
And then 1 pause and think.
Wo shall not ever parted bo
By mocking land and cruel sea,
If, on the shnros ot Time,
Fate's baleful power must hold away,
" Let ns be patient ;" God knows boat
" Wo trust linn," will wo say,
And, for our laith, at Heaven's broad gala
We'll meet to never separate,
You tnrling love of mine!

A MASONIC FUNERAL.
In June, 1831, a steamer wended its way
tip the MiauisHippi. Twas in the gray and
curly morning, end listlessly the curling
Ninoke from the eleatn pipe! Hunted away
over the still, culm air. lliu noisy rumble
of tho water wheels, plowing through tho
inpid ciiriont, grated hnrrlily 011 (he car of
the sad hearts on board, tor the " dark
messenger ol 'Dentil " hovered there. The
sunken eye and hollo check lold but too'
well of Unit insidious toe Cholera. And
the many little mounds scattered, along tho
river hank, pointed to the lone gruvea of
tho western traveler, who Bleep far from

their brow, or Leur to their loved ouch tho
I.ibI ead tokens of a f.ilUei'H undying love.
At' this early day, comparatively few

and the pioneers of the l.ulo town hailed
wilh joyful pleasure every one that ucured
the landing, liut consternation . issmned
tiie plat oof joy when it became known that
four of the passengers wore dead, aw.iiling
interment, and another dying. All weio

prepared to convey the dying man, and
cnefully they removed him to the only ho

boasted, lie was birtly conscious, but a
powerful Btiuiuluiit tevived him, and rally
ing his sunken faculties, he asked if there
was a member of the Masonic fraternity
present. Fortunately Ihe two attending
gentlemen and tho physician ull belonged
to that Order. "His dark eve flashed"
with an intelligent and thnn'rfuf expre sion:
he faintly murmured, "Thank God, I shall
not die uluue," and then iu broken accents,
he told hie inouriilul story. How ihe
4 mania" to visit the great West had taken
possession of him, and against Ihe fond it
moiistiancea of his devoted wife, hu loft a
beautiful home oil Ihe banks of Ihe Hud-,
soi , and Iwo beautiful children.- The tears
ran down hie wasted cheek as he remem
beted how long and pleadingly she be
sought him i.ot to leave her. telling him she
had a pieaenlmi'iit ill would betido-him;
she could not be reconciled, end clung to
bis neck until the hour of his departuro, al
most heart-broken. Bho bade him adieu,
saying, " we shall Tcver, never, meet
again." l'rophetio woni. u Dear fi lends,

her sweet gentle fans will go with me

Unpidly tho news spread of the stranger's

Tho litllo church was filled to suffocation,
and ns the solemn procession entered,

of laws are grander and moro lusting than

shadow creeping over her threshold, to

deis life a charm, all, all that makes a sunny
spot to her in Iho wido, wido woild, then
comes this angelic band of brothers, pour
ing into her broken heart thoso sweet
words of comfort, that can only bo foil or
expressed by a Mnsnniu brother. They
push away, with their gentle hands, till the
thorns that intercept her pathway. They
think for her, they act for her. They are
Father, Mother, Bister and lirothrr.
Oh ! the tuliaiuniiic power of kind words
uttered by sympathetic friends in the un
mistakablo tones of disinterested friend
ship. It helps tho poor, lone wife to pitnh
her weary wny through all Ihe realms of

They point her weary heart to llmt beau

Tunnel Under the Atlantic.
Tho Church Union gives tho following
particulars of a wild undertaking that of
running a tunnel under Iho Atlantic Ocean,
in ' order to connect tho Old niid New
Woilds together by means of a sub-iuurnio
railway ;, ,
Tho- moBt eminent engineers, ' both in
F.uropo and America, havo been consulted
and (hey draw up a report which repre
sents that this stupendous scliimo is per
fectly leasiblo and only require timo and
money 'to carry it out, while Iho cnpilal, al
though stupendous, will bo forthcoming.
So far us calculated approximately, it will
cost livo hundred millions of dollars.
Plenty of capitalists aro reudy to engngo
in this marvelous undertaking, and a.t soon
us tho plans uro arranged the money will
bo advanced. The proposed plans aro in
themselves tho wonder of this skillful nge
ol engineering science. To rtlato them iu
detail would be simply impossible at pres
ent, but a few of tho Ivudiug points may be
glanced at in order to give tlio render nn
insight into tho wonderful results already
arrived at. This undertaking will occupy
ono huiidri d thousand men h-ilf at each end
of the terminus, and .supposi'tg the obstacles
to ho of such a character as are expected, it
will lako full thirty yoats to accomplish the
work. When complcto it will take about
six days for ordinary trains to travel be
tween, both points and three days for ex
press mails. The syst:m to be adopted for
tunnelling will be of tho latest improve
ments in drilling rock, each advance of the
drillers bo followed by shields of various
dimensions of strong east iron, and each
succeeding one being (inner than tho last.
Powerful st'-'am engines will push forward
these shields as tho boring advan"0S, until
at Iho lust the largest nod most perfect tube
will be placed with rails properly fixed for
operation. It is propc.ied to light the cars
wilh magnesium light, w.hilo powerful en
gines will drive tho air tin ouch tho tuuiiul,
inducing a froo circulation, the supply bo
ing regulated by various eontri vam-js at
certain distances. Tho electric light will
bo used at interval on the track,
Dup"ts will not bo required, as there
will be uo stoppage. The points of union,
both iu America and Furope, are iu courso
of debate It is generally conceded that
tho shortest ronlo will be the cable one,
viz : between Newfoundland ami Ireland.
The soundings already taken to lay tho ca
hie telegraph are of the greatest use, and
havo enabled tho operators to lay out their
map of tho bud of the Atlantio. Tho wire
will bo laid through the tunnel and exper
iments are in progress to connect tha com
munication between tlio running cars und
tho fixed telegraph, by which means imme
diate information cau be sent to either con
tinent by tha passenger while traveling.
Thus, while tho billows roll abovo and the
monsters of the deep aro sporting or fight
ing, ns the case may be, men. women and
children will bo rolling rapidly underneath,
and aftor brief trip will find IheniKclves
on the shores of other nations, without Ihe
dangor, fatigue and sickness of a long aud
dangerous sea voyage. ;

crimson fire, and traveling in a northwest-
cily ilirection. It bail scarcely faded from
the sight when anolher and cqnully brilliant,
ll'oijgh not quite so large, cumo speeding
across in its track, and it was followed by
fourteen, ol snui'ler magnitude-; one by nnv,
in quick succession. At this moment
heavy cloud drilttd towards the north, and
for somo minutes the spectacle was par
tially lost to view. That the meteors wcrs
railing rapidly, however, was plainly evi
dent. From all points where the clouds
were thin occasional ones Unshed out, and
Ihe frequent lighting np of the clouds as
Ihry passed ovir mado it apparent that
they wero falling rapidly. At ten minutes
before 4 o'clock the northern sky ngnin be-'
came clear ; a thick and almost impenetra
ble, cloud passed over the moon, partially
obscuring its light, and thus enabling the.
watchers to view with greater distinctness
the aisco ami brilliancy of Ihe meteors. . The
display was now a most magnificent one.
The meteors shot out from Leo in all direc
tions, and wilh remaikable swiftness
ttuvtled across the horienn. Sixty-lhreo-weio
counted in ono minuto ami ten
seconds, of which three were of extraordi
nary sizo and beatify. One of these of a
greeiiish hue, and followed by a long train
oi i no same color, traveled in the direction
of Ursa Major, aud as it was disappearing1
in (ho northern hoi iy.oii apparently burst,
lighting up the sky for meat distance on
i.ll sides. It was now utterly impossible
lo keep a correct account ol the number ,
falling. Eight, ten and twelve sped on- ,
winds on their erratic course at tho samo
moment; ecnrcelv disappearing before
oilier of equal splendor took their nlaccs.
fortuity twenty minute they continued
to tall w ith me snirie rapidity, during which
nine, exclusive oi inoue sfreuriy mt-iittonca
tin eo hundred and thirteen were counted.
This number, however, was not oiie-fifih
o! (hat which really fell. Not los, per
haps, than tilteeu hundred or two thousand

lor ono person to keep anything like an ao-
curate account. At ten minutes past 4
o'clock ther appeared in smaller number,

not moro than three or four each in no la.
At twenty two minutes oust four o'clock tha
largest and undoubtedly the most brilliant
meteor that lias been seen for many years '

irom i.eo, ami toon a Uuect northerly,
courso toward Ursa .Mujor, followed by
long Irnin of o yellowish red hue, which
spanned tho horizon from its point of sp

meteor 'was of the same greenish blue color u
as the others, which preceded it, and aa it
pussed over about one-half of the cours

spectacle was really beautiful. Apparently'

toward the north, no longer wearing its
greenish blno color, but of ono uniform
and beautiful blue. The panorama it pre

huvo laRled at least three minutes before
the varied colors disappeared and Iho tire-'
