The WIFE.-It needs not guilt to
break a husbands heart the absence
Of content, muuerings of spleen, the
untidy dress and cherries home, the
forbidding scoW1 and deserted hearth
these, and nameless neglects, with
out crime among them, have harrow
ed to the hearts core Of many a man,
and planted there, beyond the reach
ofcure, the germ Of dark despair. OH
may woman, before that sad sight ar
rives dwell on the recollections Of
her youth, and cherish the dear idea
Of that tuneful time, awake and keep
alive the promise she then so kindly
gave f; and though she may be the in
jured, not the injnring one; The forgot-

Of peace and love, a kindly welcome to

her years in matchless bliss, loved,
loving, and content, the source of
comfort and the spring ofjoy.

Observation-Disclosures
We have now received sufieien,
information Of the late earthquake y
draw some general inferences.
/. Il appears that it was fell from
'he western slope Of the Alleganies %
the lower Mississippi and will proba-
bly, De heard from further.
2. Il was FELT more slightly 10 The
East and more violently towards the
;. West AtZanesvilie for example
7 was FELT, as represented, less than at
Cincinnati. AtNashUiHe il was quite
severe shock, and in that region
was strong enough to-throw plates from
the shelves. AT Mills Point, il is
represented as throwing down chin
nsys. AT NslO Madrid, il is said the
ground sunk.
2 In this respect, Il was similar to
The earfhquakeof lsl1-12. which on
the 9TH Of FEBRUARY, 1912, threw down
ehimneys at Cincinnati, and opened
the earth and Oyeraowed the waters Of
The Mississippi at New Madrid.
a. As observed here by DR.. Ray,
the current Of the movement Of the
earthquake was from the S. West to
the n. East.
8. This fact, and that Of its greater
force in the S. West indicates that its
morning p0iosr was in the S. West,
near the lower part Of the Mississippi
river, unless indeed, it should appear
from further intelligence, that there
has been volcanic action Of sufficient
strength to produce it, in still more
distant regions.
2. The fact, that this trembling of
the earthis fen over such an extensive
region, end that its severest effects are
felt so farsdistani, is pretty good evil
dence that the moriAg potoer is seated |
deep in the earth, and is not any super
fetal volcanic influence.
Whether the above interferences are
just or not, they are worthy the inves-
tigation Of inquiring minds. With |
respect to the valley Of the Ohio, it
has not probably ever been the seat Of
volcanic action, nor do these lremlings
OF the earth give any reason to suppose
it will be. For the power which pro-
duces them is evidently remote, so far
as regards terrestrial causes.

To those with whom a gentlemanly and
obiging Captain, and an abundance Of oysters

Irish kepeul,


This question is becoming deeply in
teresling. As we understand it seeks not
TO dlsmember the BRUSH Empire, but
simply TO give Ireland her own parlia-
ment, as was the case previous TO the
year 1900. She tllsclaims not her loyal
ty and lealty TO the British sovereign, but
she wishes the law-making power trans
ferred from London to Dubin, from
foreigners to her own sons. 1t is not re-
bellion, but a peaceable remedy provided
by the British constitution, which the
Irish are struggling 10 obtain by the votes
of the British parliament itself.
Some of the wing papers which con-
denim the repeal movement in this coun-
try, remark that England would have had
just as much right to nci,e the nullliers
OF South Carolina in 1893, as the Ameri-
cans have to encourage the Irish Repeal
ers. The case is different; South Caro-
lima took the ground that she had right
10 secede and become seperate and III
dependent nation, without the consent of
congress or the other states. The Irish
Repealers take no such ground. They
only insist upon repeal of Legislative
union. They ask but the same privilege
the Canadas now enjoy. They are will
ing 10 consider themselves a colony of
England, if they can be governed by their
own parliament In all these discus
sions, it should ever be remcmberd that
the union with England was formed
In 1901 by leo, and as history tells
us, most ioully and most fraudulently
obtained by the intrigue and corrup-
lion of Pitt, the British minister; and
reason, justice. and propriety give the
Irish of the present day the same right
10 obtain a repeal of tina. union, by the
same means. 1t was made by law, and
they would abolish it by law England
is TO be moved TO grant this repeal, and
how -? BY the unanimity of the Irish a,
home, and by the public opinion OF the
civilized world. Public opinion has be-
come mighty engine in controlling the
iuONtiuSutS VI all lIdliUHs. lldupiltV rs
England is, she will feel the influence
Of the wave even from this side of The
Atlantic. The excitement which now
pervades the United State will lead to re.
Election. The sympathies of the millions
in America that the Irish are right in
their demands, may act like infection on
the mind of the Independent thinkers
there, and induce them 10 grant that just
ice which will raise England's character
in the estimation Of the world. Such
will be its tendency SO long as the meet
ings in this country confne themselves to
their present avowed object of "scconding
the efforts of the Irish at home. to obtain
the Repeal of the statute of Union, and
the restoration to Ireland Of National
Parliament. by lawful, peaceful and con-
siilutional means. "-Albany .4rgus.
