1t cannot DO said that earth is mans abiding
place. 1t cannot be that our life is cast up by the
ocean of eternity to float upon its waves and sink
into mothingness. Else, why is it that the glorious
pie of our hearts, are forever wandering about un-
satisfied ? Why is it that the rainbow and the
clouds come over us with a beauty that is not Of
earth, and pass off to leave us to muse ON their ia
ded lovelincss Why is it that the stars, who hold
festivals aronnd the midnight throne, are set above
the grasp of our limited faculties, forever mocking
us by their unapproachable glory? And finally,
why is it that the bright forms Of human beauty
are presented to our view and then away from us,
leaving the thousand streams of our affections to
flow into Alpine torrents We are born for "A
higher destiny than that of earth. There is Il
realm where rainGows never fade, where the stars
will be out before us like islets that slumber on
the ocean, and where the beings that pass before
our vision like shadows will stay in our possession

PURITANICAL

We often hear ignorant, bigoted persons and pc
pers express q desire for the return of the good
old puritan times and the good otd puritan reli-
gion. For the especial benefit of such, we give the
following:
"1630.-The first punishment we find recorded
is that Of Thomas Morton, Of Mount Walliston,
who shall presently be set in tho billbowes, and
after sent q prisoner into England, 10y the ship
called the Gipte, now returning thither; that his
goods shall be seized upon to pay the charge of
his transportation, payment of his debts, and to
give satisfaction to The Indians for a canoe he I'M
Justly took away from them; and that his house,
after bis goods are taken out, shall be burnt down
to the ground in sight Of the Indians, for their
satisfaction for the many wrongs he hath done
them from time to time
"l632.-It was ordered that Richard Hopkins
shall be severely whipt, and branded with The hot
iron on one of his cheeks, for selling pieces and
powder and shot to the indians. IIereupon it was
proposed if this offence should not be punished
hereafter by death.
"l639.-Edward Palmer, for his extortion, ia
king 81 lbs Cd for the plank and wood work Of
Boston stocks, is fined IS, and censured to be set
an hour in the stocks. This was RENTED t. los.
"l14l-Sarah Hales, the wife of William IIales
was ceusured for her miscarriage to he carried to
the gallows with a rope about her neck, and to sit
an hour upon the latter, and the ropes to be flung
over the gallows, and after TO be banished.
1Ol-.-Danle ralrhelu, u married person, Tor
abusing in a vile and abcminable manner, the
%daught.r of John Humfrcy, Esq, one of the mag
istrates, was sentenced to be severely whipped at
Boston the next lecture day, and TO have one Of
his nostrils slit so high as may well be, and then
0 be scared and kept in prison till he be fit to he
sent to salem, and then to be whipt again, and to
have the other nostril slit and scared; then further
be is confined 10 Boston Neck, and so if he be
found at any time during his life to go out of Bos-
ton Neck, that is, beyond the rails towards Isox-
bury, or below the low water mark, he shall be
put to death upon conviction thereof, and he is al
so to wear q hempen roap about his neck the end
of il hanging out two feet at least; and so often
as he shall be found abroad without it. he shall be
whipped; and if at any time he shall abuse any
person as formerly, he shall be put to death; and
he is to pay Mr.. Humfrey forty pounds.
"l633.-Robert Coles is fined two pounds and
~enjoined to stand with q white sheet of paper on
his back, whereupon "A drunkard' shall be writ
ten in great letters, and to stand there as long as
the court thinks tit, for abusing John Shotwell's
wife to incontinency, and other misdemeanors

cliff stick, for swearing, reviling, and railing"

THE KINGWOOD TUNNEL UPON THE BAL
TIMORE AND OHIO RAILROAD.

This tunnel is 260 miles from Baltimore, and
ll9 miles east of Wheeling. 1t is seven miles
west of the romantic valley of the Cheat river, and
some nineteen miles east Of Grafton, the junction
of the Northwest or Parkersburg Railroad. Its
length with two heavy approach cuts, is above
5000 feet, or say one mile. The tunnel proper is
4, 100 fees long.
The greatest height of the ridge over the tunnel
is about 900 feet. Ii is cut through slate rock, and
is overlaid for q considerable distance with good
limestone roof. For the remaining portion of its
length, the roof has been supported by timbering.
preliminary to the final arching. The original
width of the opening was % feet. The necessity
of preparing for a double track, however with the
heavy side walls for sustaining the arch, required
that the opening should he widened throughout its
entire length. This is done b, cutting away from
three to four feet upon each side making the exca-
yation twenty feet in width. The side walls are
built of solid masonry laid in cement. They are
two feet wide, and ten feet high above the tracks.
They will reduce the width when finished, to
twenty four feet. OF the 4, 100 feet of tunnel, it
is supposed that not more than three thousand feet
will require arching, the limestone at the western
end being sufficiently solid to sustain itself.-Raa.

A SLAVE PEN IN MICHIGAN.

The grand jury of The United States District
Court at Detroit has determined to establish a
slave pen in Michigan, a la District of Columbia.
When the proposition was first made, it met with
so much opposition that it seemed hardly proba-
bic that the court would persist, But we were
mistaken. The court succeeded in packing the
Jury, and the measure was adopted. The fort be-
low the city is to be converted into a slave pen.
A portion of the jury dissentcd, and have publish
a report in which they expose the il famous scheme
and denounce /. in no very measured terms. The
Detroit Tribune very justly remarks:
We have expressed the opinion that this whole
thing was cut and dried before hand, and that the
determination to adopt and endorse Mr.. Senator
Stuarts project OF n slave-pen was n ~foregone con-
clusion when the United States Court assembled
Our reason for this belief is the suspicious circum.
stances, that aside from the fact that three Deputy
United States Marshals were on the jury, all but
four of that body were Nebraska l~ocofocos. This
did not occur by chance or accident-it was n pre-
meditated design, having for its object the pcrpe-
tration of this netariOUs scheme. The slave pow
er required a foothold in this State, and the Gov
eminent dependents have devised this slave-pen as
the opening wedge to further more dangerous ag-
gressions. Detroit is an important station on tie
Underground Railroad. Hundreds of slaves an
nually escape through this city to a land of free
dom. by converting our military post into a slave
pen, and then placing in it q company of United
States troops to act in the patriotic capacity of
slave-huters or sentinels, or else by creating a lit
tie army of Deputy Marsha!s to perform the double
duty of guard at the slave-pen and spies upon those
suspected of fayoring the escape of fugitives, they
undoubtedly hope to put an end to the business,
and subdue the feeling of hatred to slavery which
exists amongst our people. We predict for them
a most signal failure. This slave-pen will make
two anti-slavery men in Michigan where there is
one now.

COMFORT.

Hast thou, DER The clear heaven OF thy soul,
Seen tempcsts roll?
Hast thou watch'd all the hopes thou would'st
have won,
Fade ono by one1
Wait till the clouds are past, then raise thine eyes
To bluer skies2
Hast thou gone sadly through q drcary night?
And found no light?
No guide, no star, to cheer thee through the plain
No friend save paini
Wait, and thy soul shall see, when most forlorn,
Rise a new morn.
Hast thou, beneath another's stern control,
Bent thy sad soul,
And wasted sacred hopes and pecious tears'
Yet calm thy fears;
For thou canst gain cen from the bitterest part,
A stronger hearth
Has Fate O wholmed thee with some sudden blow =?
Lo,thy tears flow;
But know, when storms are past, the heavens ap-
near
More pure, more clear;
And hope, when farthost from their shining rays,
For brighter days.
Hast thou found life a cheat, and worn in vain
Its iron chain
Hast thy soul bent beneath earth's heavy bond
Look thou beyond
If life is bitter, there forever shrine
Hopes more divine.
Art thou alone, and 1oes thy soul complain
1t lives in vain ?
Not vainly does he live, who can endure.
O he thou sure,
That he who hopes and suffers here, can earn
A sure return.
Hast thou found nOught within thy troubled life,
Save inward strife
Hast thou found all she promised thee, Deceit,
And Hope a cheat?
Endure, and there shall dawn within thy breast
Eternal rest
