are on this old island world. We have
scarcely adjusted our mind TO this novel fact
as yet. The ocean VOYAGE seems now the
shadow ola vision that filtered across noon
day dream. And this feels beneath the foot
a homesoi, and they that tread it look and
talk like Americans. TLey have American
names and American hands, that feel warm
to the touch and American ewes. too, that
speak back the sentiment of universal broth

| The JUDICIARY-A notice of the several
cases argued and decided by the Supreme
| Court, at their late session in this county
will be found in this days paper. There are
a great number Of cases left upon the docket,
yet TO be heard, and the same thing is true of
several other counties in this state. AS our
courts are now arranged, through the state,
| the business cannot be done, and the reason
| is there are not Judges enough to do it. In
the way things are now going on, we shall
wear out, not only the means and patience of
suitors but the health and constitution OF some
of our most worthy men, who occupy judicial
stations There is a great deal said about the
necessity of applying remedy, and the dec
laration, something must be done" is repeat
ed and reiterated but nothing is done and
nothing will be done if those whose business
it is (the members of the lcgislature) to pro-
vide the remedy, continue to neglect it. Per-
haps, however, some excuse may Justly be
claimed by the legislature, on account OF the
various methods of improvement, which were
proposed and the difficulty of 'making selec-
ton. A few years ago bill providing for
Supreme Court and Circuit Judges, on the
plan of the New York system, was introduce
ed and made some progress in the legislature,
but was laid on the table and not passed.
Last year similar bill, carefully drawn and
revised, was brought before the House of
Representatives and committed, but was not
reported and probably the inclination of the
legal profession and of those best acquainted
with judicial proceedings is averse to any, so
decided, change in the system of our courts
and it is believed that with the addition of
one more Judge in the Supreme Court the

will not suffer his crops to go to waste, be-
cause he grudges the wages of his workmen,
but employs as many laborers as are needful |

The subject preached by the Editor of the

To get through the world comfortably, and
to soften the asperities Of fortune, the chief
requisite is an honest and cheerful heart
An honest heart, in these days of counterfeit,
spurious and dishonest ones, is worth more
than fine gold.

Up, toiling fellow countrymcn!
The good ship nears the strand,
That bears a true and honest man
From that far western land;
Up, up, and give him welcome
No hats off and no cheers,
But meet him as friend meets friend
After the lapse of years,
With nervous grasping of the hand,
And gances full of love,
And joyous words and smiles as bright
As sunbursts from above.
What though your cheeks besun embrowned,
Your hands grown hard with toll;
Think ye he'll not return the grasp
And render smile for smile ?
What though your speech be rude, and ye
Of knowledge have small store;
While he hath mastered many tongues
And deeply drank of lore;
Will he disdainful turn away,
And scorn his fellow men?
Oh, no! It's such as you he loves,
Up, up, and greet him, then!
He cometh not as monarchs come,
In pomp, and pride, and state;
He cometh not as heroes come,
With deeds of blood elate;
He wears no kingly crown, and yet
In truth king is he
A mighty one-in realm of mind
He hath sovereignty;
He bears no sword, no laurel wreath,
Yet who like he hath fought,
And difficulties overcome,
And deeds Of greatness wrought?
He sends his messengers before,
The blessed words of peace,
To bid all strifes and jealousies,
And vain contentious cease;
His solve leaves" are scattered round,
And borne on every gale;
Oh, may the lessons there impressed
Ger human hearts prevail
Then up, my fellow countrymen,
And greet this ,ro'kiag man-

And leader Of the VAN

There is no subject Of foreign poll

interest, or more regret, than the dis
scntions among the RepcnIciS of-Ire
land. We had already hoped that the
almost unanimous feeling of the people
Of that country as expressed IN their
"monStcr meetings 50 repeatedly, and
by their leading men, would soon
teach the British Government that the
united voice ot nine millions Of people,

the fatality which seems to attach 10
that unfortunate country still chngs

Of triumph we find split among the
