Horrible Cruelty.

JOHN O'SHAUGHNESSY was a con-
Wet Of about twenty-five years of age,
who hailed from Kingston. On the
27th of April, 1875, he was confined in
the clark cell'' for some trivial act of
insubordination forced from him by
the eXasperating Stedman, who tan
talized the fellow into making some
offensive retOrt to the taunts of the
deputy. For this tritling offense this
unfortunate man was chained up in a
standing posture for five days and five
nights, his feet and hands painfully
shackled to rings in the wall, only to
be relieved for short intervals to en-
able him to partake of the meager al
lowance of bread and water allotted
to him three times in each twenty-fouI
hours. His toes had been rendered
powerless by frost before his entrance
into the prison, and the result of this
was that his torture was rendered
more intense, owing to the fact thai
he had, for the greater part of The
time, to support himself by his wrists
as encircled in the cruel rings in tht
wall. All the power was gone from

WHERE shall We meet who parted long agof
The frosty stars were twinkling in the sky,
The moorlsnd lay before us white with snow,
The north wind smote our faces rushing by.
Where shall we meet? On such mOorland lone
In crowded city street. or country lane:
On sandy beach walk, while the sea makes moan
In quiet chamber: Shall we meet again
On any spot Of old familiar ground,
Our childi-h haunts: or in far off land?
All mel what if on earth no spot be found
For longing eyes to meet. aud clasping hand?
What then?-If angry fate reunion bars,
better meeting waits beyond the stars.
When shall we meet who parted in the night'
At some calm dawning, or in noonudc heat;
To-day: tomorrow? or will years take flight
Before our ycarning hearts find welcome sweet!
When shall We meet? While summer roses lie
Beside our oath, and rustic overheadf
Or later when a leaden winter sky
Looks cody on the empty garden beds
While youthful faith and hopefulness eurs?
Or only when our hair is growing gray:
All me! we may have done with earthly hours
Before it comes to us, that happy day
What then:-Let life's lone path be humbly trod
And where or when we meet, we leave to God.

been granted and all executions stopped he at once
telegraphed to ConstantnOple and told the officials
they would be held personally responsible in case

Porte but il had forgot to send notice of the fact TO

his authority was now exceedingly obliged to Mr..

Porte has thus forgotten" TO save il is of course
hard to tell.

other day. There is an inclined tunnel worked by
steam power between Gaata and Pera, and on the

with fearful velocity toward the bottom of the tun-

the employees to stop the headlong course of the
train before it dashed into the buildings at the Ga
