The Flower and the Star.
BY LUCY A. RANpAEL.


In a summer glen's green solitude,
There glideth riyulet, clear and bright
That chimeth forever, a tone subdued,
Like the song ofshclls Oh the sea sand whitel
And there, in the summer twilight's glow,
When the faint dew felllike breath of love,
And the weary wind sighed swe Get and low,
To the dying shadows that paled above;
A beautiful. blue eyed flower ives born
With her soft cheek close to the silver tide,
More fair than the azare deep of morn ~
That smiles when the nights pale stars have
died;
And her heart of gold throbbed faint and low (,
To the wooing breath of the scented breeze,
TO the silver tone of the brookl is flow,
And the murmercd love of the whispering
trees
But they could not move her wayward will,
And she sighed for something yet more fair,
When the clear wave stirred, with a sudden
thrill,
And trembling star lay mirrorcd there
1t was not the summer lightning's CLEAN,
1t was not the glow worms silver shine,
But her heart went out to its silver beam,
And she worshipped there at the stars pale
shrine!
And there, as the soft night hours were told.
She watched the star, in the fragrant dell,
Pouring sweet breath from her heart of gold,
And flinging sweet sounds from her azure bell!
But at length. when the glorious shadows lay
Like embattlcd hosts DER the steps of dawn |!
And the sweet glen smiled on the early day,
The silver shield of the star was gonc
The brooklet sang to the rosy sky,
And the violcts opened to greet the dawnl
But she only saw with her golden eye,
Thatlthe staat--her light--her life-was gone!
Gone from the clear brooks crystal breast,
Gone from the sky's deep heart of fire
And the pale flower throbbed with wild unrest
Like the quivering rll of broken lyrcl
The day swept on, DER its path of light,
But when night set in, with cool, sweet
breath,
And the star bcam'd down with radiance white
The flower lay, hushed and calm in death II
And ever since, at evening tide,
The star shines down ON the brooks blue
wave,
And the stream goes by with softer glide,
As it passes the young flowers lowly grave
And there, us Che pillars of purple light
That guard the sunset grow faint and dim,
1t warblcs low, through the gathering night
A requiem, mournful-a funeral hymnl
And many a blossom, with afragrant sigh,
| Bends low from the rivulet's dewy shore,
But the star seeks ever, with silver eye.
For the pale, sweet flower that shall bloom

THE ERVOUS WIFE;
AND HOW SHE WA ASCURED
DY T. S. ARTHUR.


My friend Wilkins married sweet
young girl, ofa quiet, amiable disposition,
but in no way skilled in those domestic
arts, without knowledge of which a
wife's duties are always felt to be hard in
the beginning. He was the envy of more
than one who had aspired to the possess
sion of her hand. I knew him to be in
dustrious, intelligent and kind hearted !;
and / felt sure that he had taken a life
companion who would be kind and loving.
The promise was bright enough to war
rant prophecy of more than ordinary
happiness.
They removed to another city. Ten
years afterwards, in passing through that
city, called upon Wilkins. who met me
with the old frank cordiality. Eyes and
face were in glow of pleasure, when,
still grasping bis hand, I enquired after
his wife. His continuance changed in
stantly.
Poor Mary p he said, in sad, dis
couraging way, i" "she has no health"
"Pm sorry" was my natural re-
sponse.
" Sickness, and the loss Of two of our
children, have SO worn down body and
mind, that she is but the shadow of her
former self. Worst of all, her nerves are
completely shattered. But you must sec
her. To meet an old friend will do he,
good. You will take tea with us and
spend the evening""
I assented, and then made further in
quiries about his family and worldly con
dition. His story was not very brigh
one. The birth Of their first child wa
followed by prostrating sickness which
brought the young mother TO the utmos
verge of life.

WALKERS s MEN.--The New York Tines
in its accounts of the men belonging to
Walkers Nicaraguan army, recently ar
rived there, says:
cit is difficult to describe the condition
OF the remnant of Walkers army. Such
words as skeleton and scarecrow fall short
of the reality. The skin covered the
bones like tight parchment, and the sun
of Nicaragua had tanned that parchment
brown.-Large feverish eyes portruded
over hollow spaces that once were cheeks.
but now were cheeks iuverteG-cups, and
not protuberances. All was in match,
noses pinched. lips thin, chins lean, and
arms, legs, chest, and whole '.body cor
porate." corporate with that ghagtly
physiognomy. There were some little
superior to this in appearance, but they
were few in number. We still speak Of
the rank and file.-The officers either had
not suffered SO much or bore their suffes-
ings better.
And the dresses of these unfortunates
corresponded with their physical appear
ance. Many had shirts coarse as sack-
cloths. but not few were without shirts.
Stockings formed no part of their ward
robe. Their shoes were mostly beyond
mending. A thin, ragged coat, and d
pair of canvass pants completed their at
tire. OF woe-begone men we never saw
such specimens BEFORE

FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT In A Rail.
ROAD TUNNEL IN NSwrrzERIAND.


The Hannsteln tunnel is on the center
railway in Switzerland. which unites Bas-
lie to Lucerne, Berne and other towns. and
is nearly three miles in length. The cut
ting is going on at both ends. and vas
nearly completed. There were several
shafts for extracting earth and letting I'M
air. One of these was supported By ex.
tensive woodwork. A Ere was in the.
tunnel to cause the circulation of air. and
there was forge at thebottom ofthe shaft.
On the 28th May the woodwork caught
FIRE, and the flames SCARED up through the
shaft, and rising above il presented a ter
rible spectacle. The bottom of the shaft
fell in, and the retreat of large body Of
laborers was cut off. A large body Of
coal collected near the shaft took FIRE. and
oyerpowering clouds of smoke and gas
were emitted. The mass of persons who
were attempting to rescue the laborefs,
were themselves reduced to pitiable
condition. A letter from Basle dated
June 4th, says:
"At lenght something like order Mas
established, the workmen being formed
into gangs who replaced each other every
ten minutds. Fire engines were employ
ed to throw chalk and water into the tun-
mel, to extinguish the FIRE and neutralise'
the noxious gas, and pipes for conveying
pure air to the workmen were established.
The cutting of gallery in the mass of
fallen earth has been commenced, though
the fire is not yetcompletely extinguished.
But no hopes whatever are entertained
that any of the man buried will be got
out alive, for though they had an OPEN
space of about 800 metres, and though in
it there is spring of water, and they had
four horses which they might kill for food,
it is certain that the noxious gas must
have suffocated them. OF the Fifty four
men buried, thirty two are Swiss, four
English, and eighteen Germans. Tne
wives of the English workmen who have
behaved in the most admirable manner,
not only constantly encouraging those
who were endeayoring toreach the nnfor-
tunate men IN the tunnel, but attending
carefully to such as suffered from their
lexertions.
'tSinee the above account was written.
intelligence has been received of the extri-
/ cation of thirty two dead bodies, but We
. regret to learn that sixteen of the labor
ers employed to open the gallery have
, perished by the poisonous vapors which
were collected there, making the total
mortality, with the 54mcn buried in the
first instance, no less than TO-"

Shan't Bite Me.

There was certain fellow in certain
neighborhood in Ark ansas, who was very
strongly suspected of sheep stealing
There was good many cases of the mys-
terious disappearance of choice muttons
from the flocks of the planters, which were
traced to his door. but being very willy
and ingenious chaphe generally succeeded
in proving an alibi or some other defence,
which reduced the charge to a mere sus-
picion. At last, however, a planter riding
through the woods, perceived the suspect
ed sheep-thief steal from the woods, and
after looking around to see that no man
was near, walk up to flock of sheep and
deliberately knock overthe largest and fat
test. AT this moment the planter rode up
and confronting the thief, exclaimed:
"Now, sir, | have got you! You can
not get off, you are caught in the act"
"What act?" Indignantly inquired the
thief.
"Sheep stealing" was the prompt re-
|ply.
"Sir, you had better mind how you
charge arespectable American citizen with
such crime as sheep stealing" replied
the gentleman with the penchant for NUT
ton.
"Now will you deny that I saw you kill
that sheep?" asked the planter.
"No, sir" was the prompt answer. al
did kill him. and I'd do it again. I'll kill
anybody's sheep that bites me when am
going peaceably along the road"
How Sun STROKE AFFECTS MAN
The general impression is that death by
sun stroke is very painful, but the contra
!, ry would seem to be the fact, Judging from
the following account of the effect of sucl
a visitation. by Gen. Sir c.. ]. Napier
He experienced an attack while in Scinde
where the thermometer, according to tn,
General himself, was as much use to hin
as it would have been to boiling lobster
and wrote as follows to one of his daugh
ters:
| "The sun-stroke was stagger, yet my
4 hope is to die by one, for never can deatf
come in an easier shape. I was deadly
! sleepy, deadly it was: had been left alone
but the onlyfeeling of the transactionwould
have ibeen tiredness, like that expert
enced at being suddenly walked up before
time. This was degree almost to bt
called painful, then came pleasant drow
siness, with anger that the doctors would
not let me sleep-Were it not for others
would that my horn had been sounded
SO easy, SO delightful, may say, wa
the approach of DEATH" This resembles
f the accounts that have been given by mel
3 who have been saved from freezing t.
death. after having got far down into th'
dark valley; SO that the excess of heat ant
excess Of cold produce precisely the sam'
effects.
