GLORY.--Writers in eastern papers arr
complaining that the names Of soldiers are
NOT Spelt right. They forget Byron's def
milton of glory, which is, s'to die in de.
fence of your country, and have your name.
IsPelt wrong in the gazette.
q A pleasing incident is told US BY ,
friend lately visiting in Ireland. At large
temperance procession in Cork, prepare.
tons had been made Oh a grand scale, and
over one 70 the streets . triumphac arch was
erected. Among other decorations were a
number Of flags, but the committee Of ar
r~angemcnts, failing to get enough of their
national embleTs, went Oh board an Amer
|icam vessel and bcrrowd two of her flags,
which were raised to consp cuous places
in the arci'.-When tie procession passe1
under, the stars and stripes were greeted
with cheers and the waving of hats and
handkrrchiefs. The incident, though in
a measure accidental; made a strong im-
preston on the mind Of an American citi-
zen in a strange land. Exchange.
"Sia," said an inqisitive little girl, will
rich and poor people live together when
go up to heaven!"
"Yes, my dear, they will be al alike
''Then ma, why don't rich and poor Chris
associate here ?"
The mother did not answer.

a friend to make, i. greater than the bcne-
you obtain thereby, your demand 10 I'm.
A THOUGHT.-When We hear of the
purchases, donations, or smore-
nents' of our manufacturing capitalists Of
he north { says the Brooklin Esgle) we be-
link ourselves Low reasonable il il that
hey should want 'prote ction'-and | ow nice
game they play in asking a high toriff'
or the benefit Of the working man. What
OTIS Of cents they have got out Of poor
,lks' pockets, TO to swell the poiIars|
n the possession Of owners o. great steam
nils! MOliere, speaking Of a wealthy ply
ician, says: HE must have killed a great
people % be 50 richn American
capitalists Of the manufacturing order,
you'd poor . great many people TO be
ich.
A HOMELY TRUTH.-A Contemporary
avs we have founu that the men who are
rally the most fond of society Of women,
cherish for them a high respect, are
eldom the most popular with the sex. Men
{ great assurance, whose tongues are
Chilly hung, who make words supply the
lace "fscntimrnt, are Tire fa.oritts. Adur
r'Pect for women leads to respectful
towards them-snd respectful is
sualiy distant action, and this distance isl.
istaken by many Of them for neglect or =,
ant Of interest. y
