AN EXAMINATION

OF THE CONDUCT OF GREAT-BRrTAIy.
RESPECTING NentraLs, since The heace of n
mieHs,in 1905, and before the French Ber-
lin Decree, IN 1906.
1t is the peculiar felicity of the government
and people of the United States, that we con-
tinue uncommitted in the stupendous war,
which agitates all Europe, and deeply af-
ieets the four quarters ofthe world. 1t has
pleased God to smile upon our righteous in
situations, IN this their early, unexpected and
wonderful trial May he equally favour the
honest purposes Of all other nations, aud give.
to the peace loving and prosperous Ameri-
cans, thankful hearts.
1t IS believed that it will not be good for
either Of the belligerents to make an unjust
war upon us. Therefore It is, az this crisis.
OF the utmost importance 10 as to satisfy our.
own conscienccs aud judgments as TO the
Course, in which we ought to proceed. Il is
also of the utmost Importance 20 them.
In performing this high duty we OUGHT IN
keep our minds equally unprecedented bv the
SophstrieS OF foreign governments, and bv
the incessant tide Of matter, which flows
from the presses Of foreign nations. within
and without our country. and from those Of
national, local or professional parties among
ourselves. IL is only by our calmly asceno
ding high ground, and taking a view from
thence OF the great events of the war, and Of
the belligerent acts, which have grown out
ct them, that we can hope to comprehend
our situation and prospects: our real duties
and cur true hoicy.

which arose out Of the French revolutions Of
1889, 1870 and 1892 were formally ternina-

FROM THE BOSTON PATRIOT.

IT'S said of widow, maid and wife,
That homer is a woman's life;
Unhappy sex who only claim
A being in the breath of fame.
The traveller, ifhe chance to stray,
May turn uncensur'd to his way;
Polluted streams again are pure,
And deepest wounds admit cure;
But woman no redemption knows;
The wounds of honor never close!
Tho distant every hand to guide.
Nor skill'd on life's tenpestuous tide
If once her feeblcb recede,
Or dev'ate from the course decreed-
In vain she seeks friendly shore,
Her swifter folly flies before
The. circling ports against her close,
And shut the wandercr from repose;
Till by conflicting waves opprest,
Her laundering pinnance sinks to rest,
A SUBSCRIBER.
