Arrah, Neelie, don't look like a thunder
cloud, darllnt;
What harm if I did stale a kiss from your
lips?
No sluslblc boo meets a smiling young rose,
sure,
But stops tho sly thafe, and n honey-drop
sips.
And, rose of tho wurruld, spako alsy now,
ain't I
More sinsible far than a vagabond boo?
And how could I see tho swate kiss that was
lying
There on your rod lips, as 'though waiting
for me, , ,
And not takc'lt darllnt? Ouch, Neclle, give
o'er!
Faith, I'm awfully sorry J" didnft take more.
'Twas yonr fault, lntlrely. Why did you
sraileatmo?
So great n ttmpXntibn no man could resist
For your laughing blue eyes, and your cheek
wld a dimple,
And your dllicate mouth said, "Wo'ro here
to be kissed,'!
And could I be draining they didn't spake
truth dear?
Sure beautiful futures llko thlm nlver He;
If they do you should hldo thlm, and not be
desavlng
Such an Innocent, trusting young fellow
as I,
Are you frowning still, darllnt ? Och, Neelle,
give o'er !
Dout I tell you I'm sorry Ididn't lake more.

THE BOX TUNNEL.
BY CHARLES READE.
Tho 10:15 train glided frotn Pad
dington, Maj 7, 1847. In tho left
compartment of a oertain first-class
carriage were four passengers; of
these, two were worth description.
The lady had a smooth, white, doli
oate brow, strongly marked eyebrows,
long lashes, eyes that seemed to
ohange color, and a good-sized, deli
cious mouth, with teeth as white as
milk. A man could not see her nose
for her eyes and mouth : her own sex
could and would have told us some
nonsense about it. She wore an un
pretending grayish dress, buttoned to
the throat with lozenge-shaped but
tons, and a Scottish shawl that agree
ably evaded color. She was like a
duck,-so tight her plain feathers fitted
her, and there she sat, smooth, snug,
and delicious, with her book in her
hand, and a soupcon of her wrist just
visible as ebe'beld it. Her opposite
neighbor is what I oall a good style of
man the more to his credit, since he
belonged to a corporation that fre
quently turns out the worst imagina
ble style of young men. He was a
cavalry-officer, nged-25r- He-had a
moustache, but not a very repulsive
one; not one of those subnasal pig
tails on which soup is suspended like
dew an a shrub ; it was short, thick,
and black as a coal. His teeth had
notjyetbeen turned by tobacco smoke,
to thecolorof juice, his clothes did not
stick to nor hang to him ; he had an
engaging smile, aud, what I liked the
dog for, his vanity, which was inor
dinate, was In its proper place, his
heart, not in his face, jostling mine
and other people's who have none
in a word, he was what one oftener
hears than meets a young gentle
man. He was conversing in an anima
ted whisper with a companion, a fel
low officer; they were talking about
what is far better not to women.
Our friend clearly did not wiah to be
overheard ; for he cast ever and anon
a furtive glance at this fair vis-a-vis
and lowered his voice. She seemed
comletely absorbed in her book, aud
that reassured him. At last the two
soldiers came down to a whispor (the
truth must be told,) the one who got
down at Slough, and was lost to pos
terity, bet ten pounds to three, that
he who was going down with us to
Bath and immortality would not kiss
either of the ladies opposite on the
road. "Done, done!" Now I am
sorry a man I have hitherto praised,
shouldhave lent himself even in a
whisper to such a speculation ; "but
nobody is wise at all hours," not even
when the clock is striking five and
twenty; and you are to consider his
profession, his good looks, aud the
temptation ten to three.
After Slough tho party was reduced
to three ; at Twylford one lady drop
ped her handkerchief; Captain Dolig
nan fell on it like a lamb: two or
three words were interchanged on
this ocoasion. At Reading the Marl
borough of our tale made one of the
safe investments of that day, be
bought a Times nnd Punch the latter
full of steel-pen thrusts and wood
cuts. Valor and beauty deigned to
laugh at some inflamed humbug or
other punctured by Ptmcj. Now laugh
ing together thaws our human ice
at Swindon it was a talking match
at Swindon who so devoted as Cap
tain Dolignan ? he handed them out
he souped them he tough-ohickened
them he brandied and cochinealed
one, and he brandied and burnt-sugared
the other; on their return to
the carriage, one lady passed Into the
Inner compartment to inspect a cer
tain gentleman's seat on that side of
the line.
Header, had It been you or I, the
beauty would hnvo been the deserter,
the average one would have stayed
with U3 till all was blue, ourselves in
cluded ; not more surely does our slice
of bread and butter, when it escapes
fjom our hand, revolve it ever so of
ten, alight face downward on the car
pet. But this was a bit of a fop,
Adonis, dragoon bo Venus remained
in tete-a-tete with him. You have
6een a dog meet an unknown female
of his speoles, how handsome, how
emprcsse, how expressive he becomes;
suoh was Dolignan after Swindon,
and to do the dog justice, he got
handsomer and handsomer; and you
have seen a cat conscious of approach-
I ing cream such was Miss Haythorn;
she became demurer and demurer;
presently our captain looked outof the
window and laughed ; this elicited an
inquiring look from Miss Haythorn.
"Wo are only a mile from the Bos
Tunnel."
"Do you always laugh a mile from
tho Box Tunnel?" said the lady.
"Invaribly."
"What for?"
"Whv, hem! it Is a gentleman's
joke."
Captain Dolignan then recounted
to Miss Haythorn the following :
"A lady aud her husband sat to
gether going through the Box Tunnel
, there was one gentleman opposite;
it was pitch dark ; after the tunnel
the lady said, 'George, how absurd of
you to salute me going through the
tunnel, 'I did no such a thing.' You
didn't?' No! why?" 'Because some
how I thought you did ?' '
Here Captain Dolignan laughed and
endeavored to lead his companion to
laugh, but it was not to be done. Tho
train entered the tunnel.
Miss Haythorn Ah !
Doiiguan What is the matter?
Miss Haythorn lam frightened.
Dolignan (moving to her side)
Pray do not be alarmed ; I am near
you.
Miss Haythorn You are near me
very near me, indeed, Captain Do
lignan. Dolignan You know my name?
Miss Haythorn I heard you men
tion it. I wish we were out of this
dark place.
Do"ffgn"aii I could be, content to
spend hours hore, reassuring you, my
dear lady.
Miss Haythorn Nonsense!
Dolignan Pweep ! (Gravo reader
do not put your lips to tho next pret
ty creature you meet, or you will un
derstand what this means.)
Miss Haythorn Ee! Ee !
Friend What is the matter?
Miss Haythorn Open the door!
Open tho door!
There was a sound of hurried whis
pers, tho door was shut, and tho
blinds pulled down with hostile sharp
ness. If any critic falls on me for putting
inarticulate sounds in the dialogue as
as above, I answer with all the inso
lence I can command at present.
"Hit boys as big as yourself;"
bigger, perhaps, such as Sophocles,
Euriplde3, and Aristophanes ; they
beganJt, -and I learnedit of them,
sore against my will
Miss Haythorn's scream lost most
of its effect because tho engine whis
tled foity thousand murders at the
same noment; and fictitious grief
ruuues useit neara wueu real can
not. Betwfen the tunnel and Bath our
young f-ieud had time to ask himself
whethet his conduct had been mark
ed by tLat delicate reserve which Is
supposol to distinguish perfect gen
tleman. .With n long face, real or feigned,
ho held open the door; his late
friends attempted to escape .on the
other s!1e impossible! they must
pass bin. She whom he had insult
ed (Lath for kissed) deposited some
where it his feet a look of gentle,
blushing reproach ; the other, whom
he had not insulted, darted red-hot
daggers hi him from her eyes; and so
they parted.
It was, perhaps, fortunate for Do
lignan tint he had tho grace to be a
friend to Major Hoskyns of his regi
ment, a veteran laughed at by the
youngsters, for the Major was too apt
to look ooloMy upon billiard balls and
cigars : he had seen cannon-balls and
linstocks. Ho had also to tell the
truth, swallowed a good bit of the
mess-room poker, which made it as
impossible for Major Hoskyns to de
scend torn ungeutlemanlike work or
action as to brush his own trousers
beneath the knee.
Captala Dolignan told this gentle
man his itory in gleeful accents; but
Major Hoskyns heard him coldly,
and as oldly answored that ho bad
known amau to los his life for the
same thing.
"That is nothing," continued the
Major, but fortunately he deserved to
lose it.
At this, blood mounted to the
youngerman's temples ; and his sen
ior added, "I mean to say he was 35 ;
you, I presumo are 21 !"
"Twenty-five."
"That is much the same thing;
3ou will be advised by mo?"
"If you will advise me."
"Speak to no one of this, and send
White the 3, that ho may think you
have lost the bet."
"That is hard, when I won it."
"Do it for all that, sir."
Let tho disbelievers in human per
fectibility know that this dragoon ca
pable of a blush did this virtuous ac
tion, albeit with violent reluctance;
aud this was his first damper. A
week after the events he was at a ball.
He was in that state of factitious dis
content which beiogs to us amiable
English. He was looking In vain for
a lady, equal In personal attraction to
the Idea he had formed of George Do
lignan as a man, when suddenly
there glided past him a most delight
ful vision I a lady whose beauty and
symmetry took him by the eyes an
other look: "It can't be! Yes, it
la!" Miss Haythorn (not that he
knew her name)! but what an apoth
eosis !
The duck had become a peahen
radiant, dazzling she looked twice as
beautful and almost twice as large as
before. Ho loBt sight of her. He
found he again. She was so lovely,
she made him ill and he, alone, must
not dance with her, speak to her. If
he had been content to begin her ac
quaintance the usual way it might
have ended in kissing; it must end
in nothing. As she danced
6parks of beauty fell from her
on all around, but him she did not
see him ; it was dear she never would
see him one gentleman was particu
larly assiduous ; she smiled on his as
siduity; he was ugly, but she smiled
on him. Dolignan was surprised at
bissucceBS, his ill-taste, his ugliness,
his impertiuence. Dolignan at last
found himself injured; "who was
this ma j? an what right had ho to go
on so ? He never kissed' her, I sup
pose," said Dolle. Dolignan could
not prove it, but he felt somehow the
rights of property were invaded. He
went home and dreamed of Mrs.
Haythorn, and hated all theuglj suc
cessful. He Bpenta fortnight trying
to find out who his beauty was he
never could encounter her again. At
last he heard of her in this way : A
lawyer's clerk paid him a little visit
and commenced a little action against
him in the name of Mis3 Haythorn,
for insulting her in a railway train.
The young gentleman was shocked;
endeavored to soften tho lawyer's
clerk; that machine did not thorough
ly comprehend tho meaning of the
term. The lady's name was at last
revealed by this untoward incident;
from her name to her address was but
ashortBtep; and the same day our
crest-fallen hero lay In wait at her
door, and many n succeeding day,
without effect. But one fine after
noon she Issued forth quite naturally,
as if she did it every day, and walked
briskly on the parade. Dolignan did
the same ; met and passed her many
times on the parade, and searched for
pity in her eyes, but found neihher
look nor recognition, nor any other
sentiment; for all this she walked
and walked till all the other prome
naders were tired and gone. Then
the culprit summoned resolution,
and, taking off his hat, with a voice
for tho first time tremulous, besought
permission to address her. She stop
ped, blushed, and neither acknowl
edged nor disowned his acquaitance.
Ho blushed, stammered out howashq
med he was, how he deserved tobepun
ished, how Httlo ahe knew how un
happy he was, and concluded by beg
ging her not to let all the world know
the disgrace of a man who was al
ready mortified enough by the loss of
her acquaintance. She asked an ex
planation ; he told her of the action
that had been commenced in her
name ; 6he gently shrugged her
shoulders and said : "How stupid
ynu are!" Emboldened by this, he
begged to know whether or not a life
of distant unpretending devotion
would, after a lapse of years, erase the
memory of his madness his crime!
"She didnot know!"
"She must now bid him adieu, as
she had tomakeaome preparations for
a bal at the Cresent, whore every
body was to be." They parted, and
Dolignan determined to be ot the ball
where everybody was to be. He was
there, and after 6ome time heobtalned
an introduction to Miss Haythorn,
and he danced with her. Hor man
ner was gracious. With the wonder
ful tact of her sex, she seemed to have
commenced the acquaintance that ev
ening. That night, for tho first time,
Dolignan was in love. I will spare
the reader all a lover's arts, by which
he succeeded in dining where she
dined, in dancing where she danced,
in overtaking her by accident when
she rode. His devotion followed her
to church, where tho dragoon was re
warded by learning that there is a
world where thoy neither polk nor
smoke the two capital abominations
of this one.
He made an acquaitance with her
uncle, who liked him, and ho at last
saw with joy that her eye loved to
dwell on him, when sho thought he
did not observe her. It was three
months after the Box Tunnel that
Captain Dolignan called one day up
on Captain Haythorn, B.N., whom ho
had met twice iu his life, and slight
ly propitiated by violently listening
to a cutting out expedition ; he called,
and in tho usual way asked permis
sion to pay his addresses to his daugh
ter. The worthy Captain straightway
began doing quarter-deck, when sud
denly he was summoned from the
apartment by a mysterious message.
On his return heaunounced, with a
total ohange of voice, that "It was all
right and his visitor might run along
side as soon as he chose." My reader
has devined the truth ; this nautical
commander, terrible to the foe, was in
complete and happy subjugation to
his daughter, our heroine.
As he was taking his leave, Dolig
nan saw his divinity glide into the
drawing-room. He followed her, ob
served a sweet consciousness deepen
into confusion sho tried to laugh,
and cried Instead, and then she smil
ed again ; when he kissed her hand
at the door it was "George" and "Ma
rian" Instead of "Captain" thid and
"Miss" the other.
A reasonable time after this (for my
tale is merciful and skips formalities
and torturing delays,) thcee two were
very happy j they were once more up
on the railroad going to enjoy their
honeymoon all by themselves. Ma
rian Dolignan was dressed just as be
fore duck-like and delicious; all
bright except her clothes ; but George
aat beside her this time instead of op
posite; and she drank him in gently
from her eyelashes.
".ilarian," said George, "married
people should tell each other all.
Will you ever forgive me if I own to
you ; no"
"Yes; yes!"
"Well, then, you remember the
Box Tunnel." (This was the first al
lusion he bad ventured to it.) 'T am
ashamed to say I had 3 to 10 with
TVhito I would kiss, one of you two
ladies, "and George, pathetic external
ly, chuckled within.
"I know that George ; I overheard
yoq," was the demure reply.
"Oh ! you overheard me ! Impossi
ble." "And did you not hear me whisper
to my companion? I made a bet with
her."
"You. made a bet! how singular!
What was it?"
"Only a pair of gloves, George."
"Yes, Iknow; but what about it?"
"That if you did you should be my
husband, dearest."
"Oh, but stay ; then you could not
have been so very angry with me.

A Grateful Tramp.
-this
In 1853 Misa Myra Kellog, eldest
daughter of the late Simeon Kellog,
and sister of Mark H. Kellog, who
fell beside Gen. Custer, on the Little
Big Horn, was married In this city to
Mr. Truman J. SafTord, who had rep
resented Green county in our legisla
ture in 2,852, and who, iu the year
above named, removed to the promis
ing village of La Crosse. Tho next
spring, however, tho young couple
moved down into Iowa, and, wo be
lieve, settled on a farm, and several
years since went into Dakota. He was
an honest, hard-working man, but
never succeeded in accumulating
much of this world's rlobes. Four
years since, just after tho evening
meal had beon eaten, a dirty, ragged,
footsore tramp called at his house and
begged for something to eat, saying
that he was on bis way to California,
but had had bard luck, having been
taken sick after starting. Mr. Saflbrd
made him welcome, and big wife went
to work and cooked supper for tha
stranger. After partakingof thomeal
prepared, they allowed the thamp to
remain over night, and becoming in
terested in the stranger, he was enter
tained for a week, during which time
he recuperated his health, and bid
ding them good-by, started on for Cal
ifornia. Two months since tho stranger, who
during his four years' absence in Cal
ifornia had "struck it rich," came
buck to Dakota aud inquired out his
old entertainers, and in disguise spent
the night under Mr. Safiord's roof
The tramp was particular to inquire
into the circumstances of Mr. Saflbrd,
and was told by that gentleman that
ho had "plenty of hard work to do
but very little money." Tho next
morning the tramp departed without
making himself known, and the con
versation and incident had been for
gotten, when Mr. and Mrs. Saflbrd re
ceived through the post-office a seal
ed package, which contained the deed
of ouo of tho finest farms in their
neighborhood, having a good house,
barn, stock, horse3, wagons, agricul
tural implements, and everything
complete, which was accompanied by
an explanatory letter, stating that he
wished them to accept the deed of this
farm, which he had purchased espec
ially for those who divided with him
when in need, and treated him kind
ly when foot-sore and poor, and assur
ed them that he was the tramp they
entertained years before. Volumes
could not say more, and Mr. and Mrs.
Saflbrd aro now enjoying the gift
made them by a stranger. La Crosse

An exohange says : It may not be
generally known that common cook
ing soda is a sure remedy for the bite
of a rattlesnake, if applied soon en
ough. An incision should be made to
the depth of tho wound made by the
fangs of the snake, nnd into this cut
the soda should be sprinkled. It will
immediately bubble up and turn
green, caused by the action of the so
da in neutralizing the acid of the poi
son. This remedy was never known
to fail when applied in time.
The Animal Conscience.
Mr. Darwin's book tiaa familiarized
us with the idea that tho moral .antl
mental elements in man's nature, no
less than the physical and material,
were derived from irrational creatures
by tho process of evolution. How
far this Is capable of being proved' in
other respects it is not for me toeoy
(whatever I may believe), bat I" am
sure that it Is true of that element
which seems at first eight most op
posed to It the conscience. Making
allowance for the temptation and ten
dency to -ead our own thoughts into
the minds of animals, and also for tho
efftct upon tho animals themselves of
man's moral control,Jt-yefc remains
certain that tho materials our of
which conscience has been construct
ed nro ever3'whera discernible, like
the rough, un hewed stone3 of n quar- ,
ry, in animal life and in nature itself.
The mere fact that animals can bo
taught and made to feel what they
ought to do (how can we avoid using"
the word "ought?") settles the ques
tion. But, without relyingupon this,
J3 It not evident thot the contrast be
tween the external force that would
destroy and the internal power that
will live existed long bofore it becamo
an object of perception and reflection,
in tho brain of a reasoning creature?
And this contrast produced such ac
tions a9 tho following: flight, com
bination for defense, appealing looks,
cries of remonstrauce, Belf-defense to
the last moment of existence. 'For
instance, the sight of an object accus
tomed to prey upon a weaker animal
then and there stimulated that ani
mal to flight by putting into motion,
tho appropriate musoles and limbs.
But the animals with which man is
In closest alliance were thoso whoso
weakness must certainly have mado
the necessity of escape a largo part of
their experience. With this would
come agreatnumberof painful and also
pleasant emotions. The need of hor
rible exertions, the terror of antiefpa-'
tiou, the sense of unavailing wrath,
sometimes tho ecstasy of deliverance,
which must have been so strong in
tho heart of every hunted animal '
that turned to bay at last, are seen to
border closely upon that instinct of
rlghtness which bo evidently belonga '
to ourown individual inherited exper
ience. It needed but the touch of
sclf-consciouauess to make the instinc
tive feeling pass by a bound into an
instinctive thought tn the mind of a
being that "could look before and af
ter." And whatever difficulty thero
may be in accounting for tho evolu
tion of man lies not in his moral but
in his menial growth. How he be
came conscious of himself we may
possibly never bo ablo even to Imag
ine, but that being conscious of him-
self he was by mere forco of circum
stances possessed of the germ of con
science, is a statement that presenta
no difficulty at-all. Rov. T. W.Fowla

Fine Prayers.
I believe that God abhoro fine
prayers. If a person asks charity of
you iu elegant sentences, ho is not
likely to gel It. Finery in dress or
language Is out of place in beggars. T
heard a man in the streetono day beg
ging aloud by means of a very mag
nificent oration. Ho used grand lan
guage in very pompous style, and I
dare say ho thought ho was sure of
getting a pile of coppers by his bor
rowed speech ; buS I, for one, gavo
him nothing, but felt inclined to
laugh at his bombast. Is It not likely
that many great prayers are as useless 7
Many prayer-meeting prayers aro a
great deal too fine. Keep your figures
and raetaphor3 and parabolic express--
ions for your fellow-creatures, asor
them to those who want to be instruct;
ed, but do not parade them; beforo
God. When wo pray, the simpler our .
prayers tho better; the plainest, hum
blest language whieh- expresses oarj
meaning is the best. Spurgeon. j

the Michigan Agricultural College,
says that the young tree must bo
treated very much like a hill of corn ;
therefore raise hoed crops in a young
f orchard. He also, like-most intelli
gent horticulturists, says it is a good
plan tokeepyouug tree3 mulched, to
prevent rapid evaporation from tha
soil, keep the surface mellow, and
prevent the soil from freezing and
thawing in winter, and from becom
ing overheated in summer.
