MV BIRD.
BT MRS. KMII.T ifDSOS.
. Ere last year's moon bad left the sky,
A birdling sought my Indian nest,
And folded, oh, so lovngly 1
Her tiny wings upon my breast.
From morn till evening's pnrple tinge,
In winsome helplessness sholies ;
Two rose leaves with a silken fringe
Shut softly on bar starry eyes.
There's not in Ind a lovicr bird ;
Broad earth owns not a happier nest ;
0 God, thou hait a fountain stirred,
Whose waters never more shall tost I
This beautiful mysterious thing,
This seeming visitant, from heaven,
This bird witb an immortal wing,
To me to me Thy baud has given.
The pulse first caught its tiny stroke,
The blood lis crimson hue from mine;
This life, which I have dared invoke,
Henseforth is paralel with Thine.
A silent awe is in my room
I tremble witb delicious fear;
The future with its light and gloom,
Tiiuo and fcternity are bore.
Doubts hopes in eager tumult rise ;
Hear, 0 my God, one earnest prayor,
Room for my bird in paradise,
And give her angel blumage there !
THE TRIBUNE TRAGEDY.
The Oriyin of the Difficult Mrs. Mc

The Story of a siifferini Wife.
From the N. Y. Sun of Saturday we
condense tbe following account ol the dif
ficulty between Albert D. Richardson, the
well-kuown correspondent of the Tribune,
with Duutel f. Mc. Farlaud, which result
ed, as wo have already &iuiouucel, in. the
hooting of Mr RicharJsou on Thursday

MR.. Richardson's first ixTtioDt'CTroj?
Eel 'evtng that she could cotuuiaod a liv

en Jea"crcd to obta'D nn enganjemeDt. Du
ting Let- troubles with her husband she had
frequently visited Mrs. Sinclair, the wife of
the publisher of the Tribune, whom she
reckoned among her warmest firicuds. She
informed Mrs. Siuclair other desire to earn
a living upon the stage. Oue evening,
while Mrs. Sinclair was conversing with
Mrs. Mt-Farland, Mr. Richardson Causally
dropped in on a visit, ana was introduced
to Mrs. McFurland. Mrs. SiDslair told him
of Mrs. MuFarland's wishes, and Mr. Rich
ardson generously offered to use his influ
ence to secure her a postsion. The offer
was accepted. A day or two afterword
Mr. Richardson called upon Mr. Siduey
Howard Gay, then the managing editor ol
the Iribune. Mr. Gay was interested in
Mrs. McFarland's story, and gave her a
letter to Mr. Win. Stewart, of the Winter
Garden Theatre. Through Mr. Gay's in.
flueuce she obtained position at Winter
Garden, at a salary of twenty dollars per
week. ' 'i

THE RK8ID.VCE I.V AMITf STREET.
About eight months before this the Mo
Farland family had boarded in Beach ptreet
with a gentleman named Bunker. Oue of
the boarders in that house yesterday in
formed a Sun reporter that Mr. McFar.
land's brutal conduct toward his wife while
at Bunker's occasioned remark, and the
borders generally sympathised with the un
complaining wife. For some uuexplained
reason Mr. aud Mrs, McFarland left 35
Beach street, end went into ths country.
On their return they went to either 61 or.
72 Amity btreet, where they boarded at
the time that Mr. Richardson was first in
troduced to Mrs. MsFarland. Mr. Rich
ardson was then preparing his book, "Be.
youd the Mississippi." He bad rooms in
the vicinity. They were crowded with
artists and engravers, who were employed
to illustrate the work. Before the labors
on this book were completed some trouble
arose between Mr. Richardson and bis
landlord. Some furniture was broken in
the room during Mr. Richrdson's absence.
and fhe laudloid demanded a specified sum
therefor. Rathei than pay whai he regar
ded as an exhorbitant and unjust demand,
Mr. Richardson indignantly left the house.
Iltf took the first rooms that he could ind,
and they were in the house and on the same
floor as those occupied by Mr. McFarland.
M'r A ELAND'S JEALOUSRY OF3ICHARDS0N.
Mr. Richardson does not seem to have
paid any particular attention to Mrs-" Me
Farlund daring bis residence in Amity
street. He apparently aided her In selling
manuscript, for she used her pen freely in
endeavoring to support herself and family.
Mr. Richardson's room was clustered witb
papers, sketches, Wood cuts, and manu
sciipts, or as one of his friends expressed it,
in a state of chronio journalistic disorder.
A huge photogragh representing him stand
ing in the foreground of a scene in the
Rocky Mountains, Was entirely in bis way.
It was a present from some San Francisco
photographer. Mr. Richardson first pitch
ed it in a corner, but it fell on the floor,
and was found to be in the way. He then
placed it on the mantel-piece, but it be
came warped, and again was in the way.
One day he asked Mrs. McFarland if she
couldn't put it in a place where it would be
out of the way. This was while he was
busily writing and smoking, apparently
quite nervous. Mrs. McFarland smiling
said she would take care of it for him. It
was nearly ths size of a fireboard, She
took it iu her room, and placed it in the
boitotn of an old trunk Some time after
ward McFarland discovered it. It threw
him into a furious fit of jealousy. He ac
cused his wife of hiding it in her trunk to
Keep it on ins stgut, ana abused her shame
fully. She endeavored to mollify him, but
in vain.
GOIXQ HOME FROM WINTER GARDEN.
While she was acting at Winter garden
her husband seemed on fire with joualous
rage, bo fureious did he become that Mrs.
MsFarland was afraid to admit him to the
green room, fearing his violence toward
some of the actors. She frequently requcs
ted her friends to accompany her home
Sometimes Mr. Samuel Sinclair and his
wife would call at the conclusion of the
performance, and walk home with her. At
other times Mrs. Lucia Calhoun, a well-
known writer of the Tribune, and her broth.
er or her husband would go home with
her.
WUT RICHARDSON DID NOT KILL MC
FARLAND. .
McFarland had repcktcdly threatened
to kill Richardson, and Richardson had
been repeatedly warued by his friends.
Both men carried revolvers. Mr. Richard
son says that ho would havo returned Mc-
Farland's fite had he not been afraid of
killing some of the boys behind the coun
ter. As Richardson is a dead shot. Me-
Farlund probably owes bis life to this cir.
cumstance. Mr. Richrdson says that if ho
could have looked MsFarland In the eye
when he drew the revolver, the latter would
not have dared to fire. McFarland has re
peatedly endeavored to catch Mr. Richard
son off his guard. Some time ago Mr.
Richardson was walking with some frieuds
in thecoiridor ol the Astor House. Mc
Farland heard of it, and entered the hotel,
with his hand on his pistol. As he ncarcd
his victim, Mr. Richaidson looked him full
in the eye, and prepared to receive him.
McFurland'g head dropped. He sidled
away, and began looking out of the window.
MRS. M'FARLAND'S STATEMENT.
In allusion to the statement of McFarland
that he had found her visiting Mr. Richard
son's room at their mutual boarding-house,
ebe said that sho had simply knocked at his
door to give him a manuscript which he
had offered to deliver to a publisher. She
was writing at the time for the support of
herself and two young children, as her hus
band contributed nothing towards the fam
ily expenses. nr married life of twelve
years, she said, bad been a perpetual torture.
Mr. Richarason was a witness to a portion
of her triuls, and she was naturally grateful
for the warm sympathy he displayed for
her sufferings. When, at last, she bec&me
definitely separated from her husband, she
experienced a sense of deep relief and en.
tire freedom, and could not realize that she
was. not at liberty to receive the visiu of
Mr. Richardson or any other ccutleuian, or
walk abroad with whom she pleased.
THE DIVORCE
She obtained divorce recently at Indian
apolis, Ind., on the ground of drunkenness,
brutal treatment, and a neglect to afford sup.
port, and resided in that city a year and a
half, to afford full legal time for a citizen
ship and a euit. During that period she
did not see Mr. Richardson. Four weeks
ago she returned to ter parents.
MRS.' M'FARLAND WITH MR. RICHARDSON.
Mrs. McFarland, who, since her divoroe ,
has assumed her maiden name of Sage, ar
rived here yesterday from the home of her
father in Charlestown, Mass., accompanied
by ber mother. Both are at the Astor
House. They fully expected to find Mr.
Richardson no longer living, and, witb other
Irienes, am now tuinbteriog to h'm oomfort
Mrs. Sage isslighily above the middle size.
She has light hair, a fair complexion, and
the rosy hue of vivid health. Her head
displays fino phrenological developments,
aud her wholo aspect suggests a high tone
of mental and physical harmony. She is
about thirty years of Bge, but looks consid.
erabley younger. Her voice and expres.
sion denote exceeding gentleness and mod.
csty, and she shrinks with pain from the
publicity to which she has been subjected .
She at once impresses a beholder as posses
sing a lovely and interesting character.
A Free Passaqb. Among the num.
erous passengers on board a Mississppi riv.
er Bream boat was a tall, gaunt Yankee. He
did not walk up to the captain's office and
pay his fare, so the clcik hinted to bira
that the money was wanted. The stranger
was not disconcerted, but replied :
"I'm going np the river a little way jit's
all right."
The clerk not being much the wiser for
this answer, again politely asked :
"At what point do you land, sir?"
"Don't land at any poiut. It's all righ t
though."
Here the clerk left our hero and went to
consult with the captain, who at once lost
his good humor and proceeded to bring the
matter to a focus, accosting the Yankee
with :
"How far arc you going to bear us com'
pany up the river, stranger ?"
"Oh, I'ai going up a little way with ye
but it's a J 1 right, captain."
"But, sir,"Baid the captain, "you have
neither paid your fare nor given the clerk
your place of destination ; and you are old
enough to know that when a man refuses to
pay his fare or give a good reason for not
paying, we put him ashore' immediately."
"Well, captain, I s'pose it's your custom,
but it's all right."
II ci c the captain lost his patience and
ordered tho pilot to land a oue of the sta
tions, and our hero to make ready to go
ashore ; to which he graciously replied :
. "It's all right, captain."
After gettiug on "terra firm.i," the cap
tain gave him a short blessing tor causing
tho troublo to land, and threatened him
with a thrashing if he ever saw Iwtn again.
etc.. to which the stranger reponded again,
with an tiir of triumph, pointing to a fine
looking cottage just above him on the bank:
"It's all right, captain ; that's my house
captain; it's all right."
Tho captain swore agaiu for a few min
utes..
A Good One. A pretty rich occurrence
came off at Sandy ville, Tuscarawas connty,
Ohio, the other day. Mr. McFarland, the
landlord, aud also a farmer, took a lot of
sheep from Colonel Black to keep fo- him.
The bargain was that if any of the sheep
died McFarland was to pelt or wool them,
which uifcaus that he was to take the bides
off or pall the wool, as he thought proper.
A stormy night came sud three of tho sheep
died. McFarland had a chunk of a boy iu
his employ who was not 4jp to sheep talk,
and ho ordered the boy to go and pelt the
sheep. He came back in a couple of hours,
and McFurland asked him how he got ou
to which he demurely replied : "Oh, mid-
dlin! I got the most of them, but there was
three I could not catch." McFarland
went to the sheep pasture and discovered
that the boy had "pelted" nineteen of ihe
sheep to death, and pretty thoroughly run
down the three wild onef.
WnAT are Woman's Rights? The
following lines set forth more peautifully
than all the bo called advocates of
"woman'8 rights" have been able to do,
the exalted prerogatives nature has bestow
ed upon women :
The right to wake when others sleep;
The right to watch, the right to weep ;
The right to comfort in distress ;
The right to soothe, the right to bless
The right the widows'heart to cheer i
Tbe right to dry the orphao,s tear;
The light to feed and clothe the poor,
The right to teach them to endure ; -The
right when other friends have flown
And left the sufferer alone,
To knecel that dying couch beside
And meekly poiut to Him who died ;
The right a bappy home to make
In any climate for Jesus' sake ;
Rights like these are all we crave
Until our last a peaceful grave.
Not having heard from tne debating socie
ties in relation to the conundrum, "Why
do hens always lay eggs in the day time?"
a cotemporary answers, "Because at night
they are "roosters."
TUE PHENOMENA OF DEATH.
Dr. Richardson says that by the' strict
ordinance oi nature death is not intended
to be cruel or physically cruel to the body.
The natural rule is that the natural man
should know no more concerning his own
death than his own birth. Born without
the consciousness of suffering, and yet sub
jected at the time to what in after life
would be extreme suffering, ho would die,
if the perfect law be fulfilled in Lim, in
him, in like manner oblivious to all paim
mental and physicrl. At his entrance into
the world, he sleeps into existence and
awakens in'.o knowledge ; at his exit from
the world, his physical cycle completed, he
dozes into sleep acd sleeps into death.
The true euthanasia, or purely painless,
purely natural physical death, is described
in its perfection, as among the most won
dertulof natural phenomena. The facul
ties of mind which have been intellectual,
without pain; or anger or sorrow, lose their
sway, retire, rest. Ideas of time and place
are gradually lost ; ambition ceases ; re.
pose is the one thing asked for, and sleep
day by day gently and genially wiles away
the hours. The wakings aro short, care
less, painless, happy awakenings to a busy
world, to hear souncs of children at play,
to hear, just audibly, gentle voices offering
aid and comfort, to talk a little on simple
things, and by the merest weakness, to be
enticed once again into that Boothing sleep
which, day by day, with more frequent
repetition, overpowers all. At last the in
tellectual man reduced to the instructive,
the consummation js desirable ; and with
out pain or struggle or knowledge of the
coming event, tho deep sleep that falls so
often is ho sleep perpetual euthanasia.
This as it is described, is the death by na
ture; and when mankind has learned the
truth, when, as will be, the time shall come
"that there shall be no more an infant of
day," the act of death shall be as mercifully
accomplished as any operation which, on
the living body steeped in deep oblivion,
the modern surgeon paiulessly performs.
From the process of tho purely natura
death there are some exceptions. The su
preme organizing miud has exposed us to
natural accideuts, in which the death, sud
den, unexpected, inevitable, is painless also.
Lightning stroke, buu stroke, crash ot mat
ter, swift burcal iu gieat waters these arc
common acts of natuie that kill, and so
quickly that the body hath not time to
know or to feel. Toexpeiiance pleasure of
pain, we have to receive the iraprssion, and
it has to be transmitted to the organ of the
mind ; here it has to be fixed or regis,
tcred; lastly, that the mind has to become
aware that the impression is registered,
which last act is in truth the conscious act.
Time is required for this, although almost
inappreciable. Destruction by lightning
stroke is so swift that the impression con.
vcyed to the body is not registered, and
therefore is not known cr felt.
It is the same with sudden immersion in
water, consequent inseneablity and restora
tion. The experiance Df some who have
undergone this is, entire loss of all consci
ousuess of all that took place from and af
ter the immersion. Nature is kind in her
determined, unrelenting -action.
And even in death caused by the action
of the spirit of free will man, which renders
the world practically a chamber of suicides
for, by want, by pleasure, by care, by
strife, by labor, by indolence, by courage,
by cowardice, by lust, by unnatural chastity,
by debacement, by ainbi'.iou, by generosity,
by avarice, by pride, by servility, by love,
by hate, aud by all the hundcrcd opposed
and opposing .passions in their access, we
die, we kill it is ou the whole not cruel
or painful. In all the pestilence, tho brain
of the stricken unusually loeses its func
tions long before dissolution, and to tho
sufferer the last act is a restless sleep. Iu
extremely violeut death from human causes,
the railway oollission, the crush in battle,
life is extinguished in a moment without
the consciousness of raiu. In cousuuip.
tioo, although painful to behold, how many
of its victiais live to their final hour in
happy planning of the future and die iu
the dream.
The points on the subject are simply
these :
Nature, which is to us the visible mani
festation of the Supreme ioteligeuoe, is ben-
eficeut iu the infliction of the aot of death;
that thwarted in her ways, she is still ben
eficent, aud that she may be trusted by
ber children.
The great law and intention of nature, is
that in death there should be no' suffering
o
whatever
Whatever there is in death of pain, of ter
ror, of unsubdued sorrow to the living, is
made pain, made terror, made sorrow, and
that to attempt the removal of these Is the
noblest and holiest task the spirit of, man
can set itself to oarry out and to perfect. It
is to give euthanasia to the individual, mil.
Ionium to the world,
SCENE ATA WEDDING.
Near Foster's store, in Cheatham county,
resides a well-to-do planter named Kenniff,
who is tho father of a beautiful girl of nine
teen, tho belle of the neighborhood. Two
years ago her heart was won by a young
man, and the father opposed the match, the
lover being poor. The lover urged his
suit in vain, and as a last resort went to
Virginia to see a rich aunt, and persuado
her to settle enough upon him to enable
him to claim the woman of his choice'. Now,
there chanced to be another suitor in the
person ot a platr's son of considerable mead
who resides in the adjoining neighborhood.
Him the mercenary father favored. Id
fact, he looked with gratification upon the
attentions received by his daughter from
this source, and besought her to accept the
young man's proposals.
Several weeks elapsed after the departure
of the favored lover, and no letter reached
her, pining at home. The young planter,
together with tbe father, so worked upon
tbe mind of the bewildered girl that she at
last acceded to the dcxands of her parent.
Aarrangeracnts were made for the wedding
to take place at once.
The day arrived, and when the party
were iu wating for the'clergyman, a young
man rode up to the gate, dismounted, and
came hurn'dly up to the houso. It was
the missing lover, who brought substantial
proof of the generosity of his relative in the
East. A scene ensued. The girl did not
faint, but she gave the waiting bride groom,
who stood by arrayed in a splended suit of
broadcloth, such startling proof of her af.
fection which sho entertained for his rival
that he fled from the house. The father
stormed a little, but was finally consoled.
There was fasting in the bouo that day,
and when the next arrived tlure was a wed

An Illinois editor warns parents' atrainst
allowing their daughters to sleep in tents
at camp-meeting. The exprience of two
young girls, residents of Sangamon County,
is related In support of tho . warning. It
seems that a committee of deacons Was ap
poined to investigate the case, and after a
long silence, a venerable brother advanced
the opinion that the tent was not properly
tethered, and that devil crept in. On mo
tion, the committee adjourned. .
