Irish Confeu.,ntes I'm Cannda.

|
1t is high time that the government OF this coun-
try should pay some little attention to the proceed
Ings OF the Irish Coniederates in Canada. Ex-
tracts which have appeared from the American
fab cated report OF the defeat OF the British troops
In Ireland occasioned throughout the States. The
British COVE nment could have short aid easy
way at dealing with these mpathizers-they
should treat them as pirates and robbers, and teach
them that tEelr Mexican and Texan maraudiug'
expeditions would not be tolerated by great and
powerful nation. But whilst we can afford to laugh
at all their bombastc declarations, their collection
OF funds and pn chase OF AIMS, there is still this
very serious evil connected with their proceedings.
Their expressions OF sympathy, and offers Of as
sIs;ancc, keep the large hordes OF Irish in Canada
In stale OF perpetual agitation. In fact, at the
present moment the Irish IN Montreal and Quebec
arc proceeding to organize themselves in the most
open and undsguised manner. In the latter city,
an " Emmett club has been formed, which pa
Iades the streets in pub!ic, and also practices ball
hrng. ii the matter rested merely here, one
might rot unrea onaby expect that this parody of
the now deunct clubs in Ireland, however amusing
when supported by sympathy from without, would
become quite another thing when opposed to the
wholesome ngor OF the law But these Irlsh con-
federaies go little further. One night in the
beginning of August, they succeeded In spiking
ten guns on Wolie's Battery, in the town OF
Quebec, near the citadel. meeting was held IN
Montreal on the 18th August, at which the Irish
republican flag of green, orange, and white, with
a bloody hand on the white ground, and ''Death,
before slavery" in characters above, and pike,
were exhibited; and at this meeting the most trea.
sonabe speeches were made, alludlng TO tine con-
templxted invasion from the United States of those
Irish and Mexican heroes who are to overthrow
British rule in our North American provinces. In
consequence of this state OF affairs in the province
and the extensive and undls2uised system of or
eanlzation going on In the United States, Lord
Elgln has been sent for from below Quebec,
where he was on his way to enjoy pleasure trip
10 the Saeuenay: The commander Of the forces,
Sir Benjamin D'Uiban, who was in Upper Canada,
would shortly arrive at Montreal, and II was pro-
posed to call out several regiments of volunteers
in Montreal, Quebec, and Upper Canada, imme-
diateiy. II is said that some OF the present go
verDment are very anxious that measures of pre-
caution should be taken, whilst Others who were
more than suspected OF participation in the last
rebellion, show great lukewarmness on the
subject, and pretend that there is no danger. 1t
should be known that the Irish in Canada are all
armed. In the Irish quarter of Montreal, the
manufacture OF pixies has been going on for
months. They appear to be only waiting for the
coming OF the sympathizers, who are to march as

one ray should fall, that it might testify of
that particular ray, We but half express
ourselves, and are ashamed Of that divine idea
which each of us represents. 1t MAY be safely
trusted as proportonate and of good issues,
so it may be faithfully impaired, but God
will not have his work made manifest by cow
ards A man is relieved and gay when he
has put bis heart into his work and done his
best but what he has said or done otherwise,
shall give him no peace. 1t is deliverance
which does not deliver. In the attempt his
genius deserts him; no muse befriends; no
invention, no hope.
Trust thyself: every heart vibrates to that
iron string. Accept the place the divine
providence has found for you, the society of
your contemporaries, the connection of events.
Great men have always done so, and confided
themselves childlke to the genius of their
age, betraying their perception that the abso-
lutely trustworthy was seated at their heart,
working through their hands, predominating
in all their being. And we are now men,
and must accept in the highest mind the same
transcendent destiny; and Tot minors and in
valids in protected corner, not towards flee
ing before a revolution, but guides, redeem
ers, and benefactors, obeying the Almighty
effort, and advancing on Chaos and the
Dark.
Most men gamble with Fortune, and gain
all, and lose all, as her wheel rolls. But do
thou leave as unlawful these winnings, and
deal with Cause and Effect, the chancelIors
of God. In the Will work and acquire, and
thou hast chained the wheel of Chance, and
shalt sit hereafter out of fear from her rota-
tons. A political victory, a rise of rents,
the recovery of your sick, or the return Of
your absent friend, or some other favorable
event, raises your spirits and you think good
days are preparing for you. Do not believe
it. Nothing can bring you peace but your
self Nothing can bring you peace but the
triumph of principles

your work, you may 60 and ask whether Mrs
Fairweather wants any errands DONE" Bless
me, how the fingers flew Aunt Hetty had
learned to use turnips instead of the cudgel
| When Spring came, Mrs. Fairweather bus
led herself with planting roses and vines.
Miss Turnpcnny readily consented that Peg
gy should help her, and even refused to take
any pay from such good neighbor.
Thus by degrees, the grabbed maiden found
herself surrounded by flowers; and she even
declared, of her own accord, that they did
look pretty
One day when Mrs. Lane called upon Mrs.
Fairweather, she found the old wecd,grow
garden bright and blooming. Tab, quite fat
and sleek, was asleep in the sunshine, with
her paw on Pink's neck, and little Peggy was
singing at her work as blithe as bird.
- How cheerful you look here" said Mrs
Lane. {" And so you have really taken the
house for another year. Pray, how do you
manage to get on with the neighbor-in-law p"
81 find her very kind, obliging neighbour"
replied Mrs Fairweather.
."Well, this is a miracle !" exclaimed Mrs.
Lane. "Nobody but you would have under
taken to thaw out Aunt Hetty's heart"
"That is probably the reason why it was
never thawcd,' rejoincd her friend. al al
ways told you that not having enough of sun
shine was what allied the world Make peo-
pie happy, and there will not be half the
quarrelling, or a tenth part of the wickedness
there is"
From this gospel of joy preached and prac-
tsed, nobody derived so much benefit as little
Peggy. Her nature, which was fast growing
crooked and knotty, under the malign infu-
ence of constraint and fear, Strengthened up,
budded and blossomed, in the genial atmos-
phcre of cheerful kindness.
Her affections and faculties were kept in
such pleasant exercise, that constant lightness
of heart made her almost handsome The
young music-teacher thought her more than
almost handsome, for her alIectionate soul
shone more beamingly on him than on 9TH
ers and love makes all things beautiful.
When the orphan removed to her pleasant
little cottage, on her wedding-day, she threw
her arms round the blessed missionary of
sunshine, and said, "Ah, thou dear good
Aunt, it is thou who hast made my life Fair
weather"

"NIan is his own star; and the soul that can
Render an honest and perfect man,
Commands all light, all influence, all fate;
Nothing to him falls early or too late
Our acts our angels are, or good or ILL.,
Our fatal shadows that walk by us still"
To believe your own thought, to believe
that what is true for you in your private heart
is true for all men,-that is genius. Speak
your latent conviction, and it shall be univcr-
sal sense; for the inmost in due time becomes
the outmost,- our first thought is render
ed back to us by the trumpets of the Last
Judgment. Familiar as the voice of the mind
is to each, the highest merit we ascribo to
Moses, Plato, and Milton is, that they set at
naught books and traditions, and spoke not
what men but what they thought. A man
should learn to detect and watch that CLEAN
of light which flashes across his mind from
within, more than the lustre of the armament
of bards and sages. Yet he dismisses without
notice his thought, because it is his. In every
work of genius we recognize our own rejected
thoughts: they come back to us with a GER
tain alienated majesty. Great works of art
have no more affecting lesson for us than this.
They teach us to abide by our spontaneous
impression with good .humored inhexiblity
then most when the whole cry of voices is on
the other side. Else, tomorrow stranger
will say with mastery good sense precisely
what we have thought and felt all the time,
and we shall be forced to take with shame
our own opinion from another.
There is time in every mans education
when he arrives at the conviction that envy
is ignorance that imitation is suicide; that
he must take himself for better, for worse, as
his portion; that though the wide universe is
full of good, no kernel of nourishino corn
can come to him but through his toll bestowed
on that plot of ground which is given to him
to till. The power which resides in him is
new in nature, and none but he knows what
that is which he can do, nor does he know
until nc has tried Not for nothing one face,
one character, one fact, makes much impress
sion on him, and another none. This sculp-
tnre in the memory is not without pre-estab-
lished harmony. The eye was placed where

Lockport last night, to respond to the nomi-

the speakers was S. 3. Chase, Esq. of Ohio.

some length on the injustice of the constitu-
tional provision allowing slave property to
be represented, and asked what represented
the property of the North-its cattle, its hors-

LITERARY NOTICES.


TIE LONDON QUARTERLY REVIEW,
For July. republished by Leonard Scott & Co. is
filled with its usual variety and ability. Articles
on the State of Religion in France Revolutions
in Italy," and the political Prospects of France
and England" derive an interest as well from their
ability as from the importance Of the events which
they discuss. They take extreme grounds against
popular institutions, it is true, but we in this coun-
try, can hardly be injured by hearing what can be
said against them, and may possibly sometimes need
such antdotes to save lis from an injurious tendency
to the opposite extreme.

says, that Mr.. Clay, as we'll as his family con-

one Of the New Orleans papers, purporting
to be letter from Washington, detailing the
manner in which Mr.. Clay received the news
Of the nomination, and the reported denun-

were unmitioated falsehoods," without the

Now, what shady wreath wilt wear,
Maiden, - Maiden?
Bid them bind the veil with care,
Round the sunshine of thy hair!
Let thy brow be free from scorn;
Let thine eye have gentle light,
On the gentle marriage morn;
And so - Good Night!
1t is now the youth of May,
Maiden, - Maiden!
Choose thou, then, at blush of day,
Buds and blossoms, not too gay;
And, behind their yelling sweets,
Bashful be, midst all their light,
When the tender lover greets;
And so Good Night!
Soon Tomorrow will be here,
Maiden, - Maiden
Then, as hopes aye mix with fears,
Mix thou smiles with pearled tears;
So shall he who loves thee feel
Thrice his first sweet pure delight,
And nearer to thy bosom steal;
And so - Good Night

TRUTH A>;D FICTIoN.--The Archbishop
of Canterbury said one day to Gar1ick, "Pray,
gentlemen of the stage, can affect your audi
tory with things imaginary as if they were
real, while we of the church speak Of things
real, which many of our congregation receive
as things imaginary ?" "Why, my lord
bishop" replied Garrick, the reason is
l,lain; We actors speak Of things imaginary
as if they were real, while too many in the
pulpit speak of things real as if they were
imaginary" The bishop tacitly acknowledge
ed the justice of the remark, and bowed to
the rcproof of the actor.

Gone OF THE BoYs."-A REsCUE.-Ab-
by Daniels, about six years of age, i'll company
with little brother, while at play yesterday
afternoon, between five and six o'clock, on
the wharf in the rear of her fathers store, in
Cambridgeport, fell overheard, when the
brother ran into the store, to notify his father
of the accident, who rushed out, but was too
late-for little boy, about twelve years of
AGE, the son of Capt. Whitney, seeing the
little girl in the water, ran to the wharf, and
without making any preparation, jumped
overheard and took the sufferer to the edge
of the wharf, from which she was extrcated
in a strangling condition. The little hero,
on regaining the wharf, took a look out on
the water, when he discovered the girls bon
net floating off with the tide, which he no
soone" espied than, like a spaniel, he was
overheard once more, swan after the bonnet,
and brought it on shore. He then took off
his jacket very coolly, and hung it upon a
peg in the store, and, all dripping as he was,
started after Pioneer engine No. 6, which
was crossing the bridge at the time, to the
fire in North Charles streot.-1ranscr[pt

ANOTHER OF 'EM.-PREsENCE OF MIND.
There is litde boy, about l years old, who
is employed in lerrying passengers over the
creek in a little boat. On Saturday as he
was engaged in passing over three little girls,
probably returning from school, the wind
blowing quite fresh at the time,.his oar slip
ped from scull, and he was landed square up
on his back in the water. His passengers
were, of course, much frightened, and, as was
most natural, set up no nconsiderabe of
scream. But the little fellow coolly said to
them, Don't be frightened, you shan't be
drowned" and away he swan and secured
his oar, He then pulled for the boat, and
had the presence Of mind not to attempt get
ting i'll at the SIDE, but swan to the stern,
and was soon safe aboard, and continued his
course over, landed his passengers, and re-
turned for others, as unconcerned as if moth
ing had happened.-Bu6alo Com. Adr.
