Many parts OF Ireland are in state of
high excitement. The misery Of the poor
people is much increased by the waste Of
time in attending the numerour rows, and
from the wounds and other injuries that
arc inflicted on them The counties Of
Armagh, Limerick and Tipperary are in
dreadful disorder and appalling distress.
The radical cause of these things IS as
much in the ignorance, and consequent;
degradation the "peasantry," as 10 the
the expressions Of England The field OF
industry. compared with the density OF
population. is much too small for the oc
cupancy Of agricultural laborers; and the
want Of manufacturing establishments IS
perpetuaicd by The diSordeTly conduct and
outrageous proceedings Of the people. La
bor is much cheaper in Ireland than IN
England--but property less safe 10 The
former than the latter Hence the want
of improvements. Intelligence is the pa
rent OF substantial liberty, aud security 'ne
nurse of honest industry.

have happened, (some Of them provoked
by cruel attempts TO collect tithes,l sever
al persons have been killed. ~. heg

From the Cincinnati Mirror,l THOSE RUBY LIPS.
BY c. A. JONES.

BY c. A. JONES. Those ruby lips-those ruby lips! The spoiler, Death, their sweetness tips: The halo life around them shed, Long since has fled-long since has fled. No more again to life they'll ope To speak the words of joy or hope To bid the lover's fears be vain, And banish pain! and banish pain! The smile they wore is past and gone, Their bliss-imparting beauty flown; Ihe worm hath sought them for it's lair, And feedeth there! and feedeth therel Those rivals of the blushing rose, When first at morn it's leaves nnclose, Yet pure as the unsulled snow Where. are they now where are they now! The snowy brow and soft smooth cheek, And eyes that eloquently speak, It matters not how bright their bloom. Must feed the tomb. must feed the toinb Their brightness all must fade away They are at best but painted clay; And when the throb of life is o'er, They charm no more. they charm no more! And thus like them are alive see, But waiting for the soul to flee, To nloulder in the dust and rot; Suchls our lot such is our lot! A bitter lot--the doom of all z That dwell on this terrestrial ball. But Hope still lights life's closing even, And points to Heaven. and points to Heaven
