They are Coming to the GuiIlotine.

Yes, deny it as you will, talk Of Peace
and Moral Suasion as you please, the
Kings of Europe are coming to the Guillo-
tine. The people have offered the olive
branch, and have been answered by the
massacres of Paris, Vienna and Rome
The Kings only talk in accents of Murder.
To crush the last hope ofhuman freedom-
to crush it by the murder, not of individu-
ais but of nations-to crush it by invoking
armies of assassins in military gear and
armies ofassassins in priestly robes-such
is the purpose ofthe Kings of Europe
Let them go on their way. They have
lied before God and Man, have sworn sol
emn oaths only to break them, have given
the People Carnage in return for Mercy
and now they are clearing the track to-
ward the Guillotine. They are sharpen
ing the axe for their own throats. Well
if they aciH have it, why let them go on in
their march. Ifthey will presist in refus-
ing to the nations of Europe the smallest
shred of liberty, why let them reap the
harvest which they have nourished with
the blood ofthe human race.
DO you remember 1889 and 1898!
Do you remember how France, driven to
despair and madness-an army of cut
throat soldiers on her frontiers, and an
an army of cut-throat spies in Paris-was
forced to raise the guillotine! Look over
the events ofthe past year, and you will see
that the same thing is about to happen in
1849 which took place in 1898. The Kings
of Europe may issue their proclamation
may raise their armies-may command
their eloquent defenders, in Church and
Press, but 7,e. gf r ga .a So
1t is only to the Guillotine that they are
marching after all. Is it not sad, to see
them go, with troops of Lords at their
heels-go so bravely-to the Guillotine?
We do notlove the policy ofblood. We
have no love for war, and nothing but alb
horance for the Scahold and the Guillotine.
But no man with the slightest vestige of
common sense, can fail to perceive, that
all the wars and guillotines of the last cen.
fury, are shortly to be outdone by the e.
vents of the present year. The People of
Europe aoiN have Liberty--wiH have
Land-,oiH have the Rights Of Labor.
They have tried to obtain them all, by the
path of peaceful reform. Now, the Kings
have driven them to the Guillotine. They
have written GoLGoTHA upon the face of
Europe. They have mnrderedthe French

The human heart has hidden treasures, , &
In secret kept, in silence sealed; ~, ...,
The thoughts the hopes, the dreams, the pleasures,
Whose charms were broken if revealed.
And days may pass in gay confusion,
and nights inrosy riot fly, 1aq aHa 9.
While lost in Fame's or Wealth's illusion, s.
4 The memory Of the Past may die. s,- a..
But there are hours Of lonely musing,
eSuch as in evening silence come, l'a'a" ?.
When, soft as birds th. ir plnions closing,
The hearts best feelings gather home. ti
Then in our souls ther, seems to languish
A tender grief that is not woe;
And thoughts that once wrung groans OF anguish,
Now cause but some mild tears to flow.
And feelings, once as strong as passions.
Float softly back-a faded dream;
Our own sharp griefs and wild sensations,
The tale of Others sufferings seem.
Oh! when the heart is freshly bleeding,
How longs it for the time to be,
When through the midst of years receding,
It's woes but live in revery!
And il can dwell on moonlight gimmer,
On evening shade and loneliness;
And while the sky grows dim and DINNER,
Feel no untold and strange distress ..-.-
Only deeper impulse given
By lonely hour and darkened room
To solemn thoughts that soar to heaven,
Seeking life and world to come.

& GBy the experienceofdistress an arro-
giant temper is most effectually corrected;
as the remembrance of our own suferings
naturally prompts us to feel for others
But if Providence has been so kind as. not
to subject us to much of this discipline, let
us sometimes step aside from our, own
smooth and flowery path, in order to view
the toilsome march of our fellow man
through the thorny ways Of the world. -,

IN which the professor displayed his entire

Of boys-,hc ladies with Stoicnl pcr,inact,
rejecting his repeated and exquisite invita-.
tions 10 do him the honor to take his gas.
Those who paid, doubtless received tho vnl.
