"Upon the wings of the next house, in a
great degree, will rest the responsibility of
a further continuance of the war. The peo-
pie have placed them in that responsible po-
sition; they cannot avoid it. If they meet
it bravely and boldly they will win laurels
more unfading than any which adorn the
brow of the successful soldier-the lasting
gratitude and respect Of the wise and good.
Should they falter or fail to meet the issue,
THEY'VE will not consider now, what will

received from Hon. Michael Stanton, Lord
Mayor of Dublin, a letter Of thanks from
the Corporation of that city, for the gift Of
5000 made by that City to the suffering
poor Of Ireland, which letter was published
in the City papers. flew days since a re-
spectacle lady, a tenant of the Mayors call
ed upon him to see that letter and compare
the signature with that Ct one she had re-
ceived some two years since from her broth
er in Dublin. Each was a fac smile of the
other, and the lady had the satisfaction of
knowing that her brother, from whom she
had heard but once in twenty-eight years,
had risen to the high and honorable station
of Lord Mayor of Dublin.-Sdt. Courier.

creature of the poisonous and deleterious
quality of this plant, that no one of all the
various tribes of beasts, birds, or reptiles,
has cver been known to taste of it.. 1t has
been reserved to man alone to make of this
poisonous plant an article of daily necessi-
!ty for the qualification of his depraved ap-
petite.
