followed the two men, leaving the wife
OF the younger brother asleep in the hut.
The night had already fallen; the cry
Of the jackal was heard; the bat wheeled
slowly through the opening in the trees,
and q pale streak on the horizon showed
where the moon was struggling to shed
her light upon the darkened landscape.
The two men moved on. followed by the
woman, whose terror, though great, was
overcome by a still stronger emotion.
Reaching retired space in the forest
the men paused, and the woman drew
back under the shadow Of magnolia
tree, where she stood covert spectator
Of their actions. The moon had now
risen, and filled the scene with a ghostly
splendor; the light falling through a
break in the trees on the spot where the
two men had halted, allowed the woman
To observe their actions with singular
distinotness. Suddenly she saw one OF
them = her husband = sink into the
ground. A wild cry followed, and as the
echoes rang through the forest, the
younger brother raised the club and
dealt the struggling man a murderous
blow upon the head. She stopped TO
see no more, but ran back, Mortified,
10 her hut.
The women of these hot latitudes are
often courageous. They are devoted and
revengeful. This woman, Tarp, was ore
Of these; she loved her husband, and
was endowed with courage rarely
found in her sex. She resolved to avenge
the death Of the man she loved, and
arming herself with long knife, awaited
the return of the murderer. The minutes
rolled by heavily, but at length the sound
Of footsteps aroused her 10 the fullest
activity. The fratricide reached the
doorway. There was no light in the hut
save what fell from the moonbeams.
The savage came on unmindful of dan
ger, when, as he crossed the threshold,
the knife was buried in his heart. He
staggered, but before the woman
could repeat the blow he seized her
by the wrist and wrenched the knife
from her hand. II fell to the floor. A
dreadful struggle then took place; the
woman striving to release herself from
the grasp Of the assassin, and he, con-
scious that his wound was mortal, deter
mined that her soul should follow his
to the land of shadows. The struggle
did not last long. The man fell heavily
to the ground carrying the woman with
him; his hand encircled her throat, and
she struggled wildly to free herself from
the grip which was fastened upon her.
But in vain. The clutch was that of
DEATH aud the last gasp Of the devoted
woman was mingled with her destroyer.

A sooIoose Tragedy.

From Sea Faring Men,,
The weather intensely hot, and the
shortness of our supply of water, forced
us to stretch for Sooloo, which we did
the wind being light, but in our favor
On the third day, at noon, we fell il
with party from the Lugutan islands
which we compelled to pilot us through
the archipelago. Having narrowly es-
capped grounding on sand bar, we ar
rived at the group, and came to anchor
off the island of Basilian. 1t was lying
off this island that a very tragic affair
took place, which | cannot forbear to
mention. There were two brothers,
large, powerful men, who lived in lit
tie hut about stones cast from the
sea. They were men of some authority,
but as arrant rogues as could be found
under the equator. Quarrelsome and
mischievous to degree.
1t CHANGED one day these two worthless
came on board the ship on pretense OF
trading, but in reality to steal. Our
men had their eyes upon themj but, in
spite of their wariness, the rascals got
of with broadax, which they carried
to their hut and triumphantly displayed
to their wives, who, rs amatter of course,
admired it exceedingly. But as an ak
is not easily divided, and when the
thieves came to share their plumber,
there was a catch in the business, as
each claimed an equal portion. They
had both been drinking samshoo, and
their blsod was not cooler on that ac-
count; and 50 the matter ended IN a
quarrel, which might have proven
serious but for the interference of the
women. who succeeded in allaying the
feud-the younger brother, strangely
giving mn his claim to the booty. This
was an the elder brother wished. The
disputants clasped hands, and seemed
to be as good friends as ever. But the
Younger brother was bent on revenge,
which, however, he took care to conceal,
and by the warmth of his apparent
friendship, lnlled the suspicious of his
victim.

You would never guess how macaroni
is made il you had not seen it. You
imagine, no doubt, that they make it
like pipes, roll it on wires, or spin it out
like glass. If you are in Naples, and
you are quite sure you don't care very,
very much for macaroni, you had better
go and clear up the mystery. The mo-
ment you have passed the Ponte della
Maddalena you see on either side Of you
castles in front of the shops, supporting
canes which are cQzared with double
fringe, long and yellowish. This is
macaroni hanging in the sun to dry.

very well and crawl under the fringe,

"What are those three fellows doing
jumping up and down as if they were on

paste. A friend of mine says he has
seen them kneading it as they are doing
now, but without the beam. And that
horrible old Spagnoletto in the bin2"
He is performing the first operation to
the paste-treading it. And this troop
of maniaes in front, rushing madly back

pole, threatening to capsize US every
minute2" Why, don't you see, they
are turning the screw of the press,
and below there out comes the mac
aroni while the boy in the hole fans
it directly as it is presented to the
world Then he nips it off when it
has dropped a certain length and hands
it to lad who spreads it on the canes,

these molds are made in England. By
the-by do you observe how the master,
playing cards yonder in corner, keeps
looking at US little suspiciously. He
half thinks we are learning the secret of
macaroni-making, TO take it to America,
and set up rival manufactory. Never
fear; in America we have not got the

Onward with reckless spirit 1t sweeps,
This grand, mysterious River Of Time;
Upheaving now a noble deed.
And now a dark. unsightly crime.
Millions and millions of life-boats
Are floating swift adown the tide
One joyous life triumphant laughs,
With one grief-stricken at its side.
Innocence plies her silvery oar
And rides the waves exultantly.
While dark-eyed Vice bears slewly down
With his freight of misery.
Now shout of triumph swells
q The bosom Of the waters o'er.
And now wall of deep despair
Dies away along the shore.
One life is basking in the sun
OF pure. sustaining love;
Another covers meath the hate
Whose vulture-pinions stretch above.
A child Of wealth is resting here
Upon her oars of FURNISHED gold,
While there pale, thin face we sec,
Pinched with hunger and with cold.
Ali tits picture grand. sublime!
Spread out upon this river wide
With light and shade. joy and grief
Mingling. or moving side by side.
Alas how many broken VOWS
And blasted hopes around us lie;
To be gathered up by the great Am
In the far-off realms of By-and-By.
Help us, oh God, to stronger srow
In goodness, love and power,
And to improve, while yet we may.
Each swiftly gliding hour. IlI
Help us, when done with toll and care,
Through faith to firmly trust in Thee.
When Time shall bear each human life
Out into vast eternity!

Chlnase Execution.

The Chinese Government is based on
two iictions--iirst, that the Emperor Is
the son ofheaven; second, that he Is the
parent of the Chinese people. In har-
mony with these principles, loyalty to
the state is inculcated, not only as a re-
iigious but rs tilial duty. But all SEN
timental fictions are liable to abuse
equally in politics and religion. The
code OF Draco was not more cruel than
the parental discipline of the Chinese
Empire. Passing by the palace Of the
Tas,oc, with its Ostentatious imperial
banners, we turned sharp corner and
entered on long, narrow, cherries
street. Here no gay signhoards or
banners relieved the sight. The shops
Me sombre and there are but few trav-
elers. 1t is the malelactor's road--the
street through which the condemned
eonvicts pass from the palace to the
place of execution.
1t was almost night when we were
admitted, under strong but low gate
way, to u close area n hundred feet
long, and scarce twenty feet wide; on
one side low buildings; on the other a
high blind walt; walk paved with
large fat stones in the middle of the
court. A potter was noiselcssly at
work shaping vessels, some to be used
for receiving the blood, others the
hands and feet, Others to the head Of
the victims.
Sometimes only single execution
takes place, but usually short delays
are made for the convenience of bring
ing several executions together. They
vary in number from two to fifty, and
even a hundred executions take place
ut once. DR.. Grey, who has studied
Chinese history carefully, is Of opinion
that no field ofbattles, ancient or mod
ern, has witnessed so much violent
destruction of human life as this Acel-
dana. ne boo pf
The customary form is decapitation.
When they march the paved walk,
and take their places kneeling down
inward on either side. An imperial
officer at the upper end of the court
reads, in distinct voice, receipt to
their names, crimes and sentences. A
practical eXecutioner, with long
sword, which he wields with both
bands, proceeds down the line. The
culprits, stretching their necks forward,
the eXecutioner, swinging the instru-
ment in continued circles, completely
sewers head at every blow. The
heads fall into a vase filled with lime;
nevertheless, blood the pavement is
besmeared with, and the efiiuvia aris-
ing from this horrible place taints the
atmosphere of the most distant part Of
the city. We saw crosses leaning up
against the wall prepared for inflicting
punishment in that form, and many
baskets, each of which contained a
head, ready to be transported to the
gates of the city.-ISewards Travels
