AH r.vrcBLiBnEJ> ror>my LOIID BYRO*.
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."
