A Coon ONE.--The Hartford (Conn.l
Gazette tells the following good one,
which well hits off the practice of running
ourselves down that others may be iuduc.
ed to compliment. Very few, as in the
case of the pious MIR. H., that would like
to be taken at their word:
In village not dozen miles from
Hartford, the members of religious So
ciety were in the habit of holding prayer
meetings in the church, in which they
made kind of confession, commonly CALI
ed "telling ones experience. A very
pious member of the flock, Mr.. H., some.
times invited Mr.. p, who was not a mem.
ber, to attend the experience meetings"
At one of these, Mr. H. in relating his expe-
rience, stated that he was great sinner
that he had sinned daily, and with his
eyes open-wilfully and knowingly sim.
ed-that goodness dwelt not in his heart
that he was absolutely depraved, and
that nothing but the boundless mercy and
infinite goodness of Jehovah, manifested
through the atoning blood of the redeemer
could save him from eternal perdition.-
Mr.. P. who had accidentally been placed
upon the "anxious seat" was called upon
after his neighbor III. had ended, to relate
his experience" He arose and with
great gravity said, he had very little to
say of himself; but the brethren would
remember that he had lived a next door
neighbor to Mr.. H., that he knew kim
well, and it gave him great pleasure, (be-
cause he could do it with entire sincerity
to confirm the truth of all brother Ii. had
confessed of himself, When Mr.. p. sat
down under the smile of the whole con-
gregation, the worthy -parson not except
ed, MIR. III. went up to him and said,
you are a rascal and liar, and | IL lick
YOU when on. of church.

SHORT SERMON FOR PARENTs.-lt is
said that when the mother of Washing
ton was asked how she had formed the
character of her son, she replied that she
had endeavored early to teach him three
things: obedience, diligence and truth.
No better advice can be given by any
parent
Teach your children to obey. Let 1T
be the first lesson. You can hardly be-
gin too soon. 1t requires constant care
to keep up the habit of obedience, and es-
pecially to do it in such away as not to
break down the strength of child $
character.
Teach your child to be diligent. The
habit of being always employed is great
safeguard through life, as well as essen
tial to the culture Of almost every virtue.
Nothing can be more foolish than the
idea which parents have that it is not
respectable to set their children to work
Play is a good thing, innocent recreation
is an employment, and child may learn
to be diligent in that as in other things
But let them learn early to be useful.
AS to the truth; it is the one essential
thing. Let every thing else be sacrificed
rather than that. Without it what de-
pendence can you place in your child
And be sure to do nothing yourself which
may countenance any species OF prevari-
cation or falsehood. Yet how many pa
rents do teach their children the first les
son of deception.

PARTING ADDRESS OF THE IRISH
STATE PRISONERS.


STATE PRISONERS.
The following is the address of the eX-
patriated Irish patriots, referred to In the
foreign summary:
FELLOW CoUNTRYMEN-H your efforts
TO procure mitigation or the penalties to
which we are about to be subjected had
been as successful as you desired we
could not have offered to you more sim
cere and grateful acknowledgements than
those which we now tender for the SYM
pathy and sollcitude which you have dis
played in our behalf.
cat this moment when we are bidding
our last sad farewell to our native land,
the reflection that our fellow countrymen
have not witnessed with Indifference our
removal from amongst them, is a sweet
source of consOlation; and be assured,
that this remembrance will hereafter be a.
soothing alienation to whatever suffer
ings it may be our lot to endure.
knowing that we address many who
do not concur with us in political opinions
we DO not feel ourselves at liberty to offer
any observations upon the policy by which
our country is governed-upon the policy
which gave occasion to our resistance to
British power-upon the policy which
now consigns us to exile. We are COM
PEELED to repress even the emotions which
we feel III rejecting upon the awful con-
dition in which we leave the land we
have loved; nor is this a fitting occasion
to point out the means by which it's disas-
ters may be repaired; but we cannot re-
irain from the expression of hope that
you will not despair of your country, and
we may be permitted to offer to our fellow
country-men parting exhortation, that
they will lay aside those unhappy dissen.
tions which have SO long paralyzed the
intrinsic strength of the Irish nation, and
henceforth learn to love and confide in
each other.
1--WE feel that it is not necessary to
say anything to you in vindication of our
motives. Even those who most condemn
our conduct know that we have not been
animated by considerations Of personal
nature in hazarding all that was dear to
us for the sake of our native land; but we
owe it to our feelings to declare that, what.
ever may be the sacrifice we incur by
devotion to its interests our latest aspira.
tions will be prayer for the prosperity
the honor, and independence of Ireland.

Separation of Edrin Forrest from his Wife.
The New York Sunday Atlas, of Sunday last,
announces that Edwin Forrest, the tragedan.
has been separated from his wife. Caroline
Norton Sinclair Forrest. daughter of the voca-
list. John Sinclair. They were married in
1886, in London, and have lived happily. the
Atlas states. until the beginning of the last
winter, when Mr.. F. became moody and
melancholy. The Atlas says
"In the month of December, MIR. Forrest re-
turned from professional engagement in
Philadelphia. !na most unhappy state of mind,
and at once demanded separation. He as
signed no cause. offered no apology for the
position he assumed and, when the immedl-
ate friends of the parties irterfered. and asked
TO be informed why it was that he asked for
reputation, his only reply vas studied
incomprebenaibie silence. He was not to be
interrogated he demanded a separation; and
he has accomplished his object. Mr.. Forrest
and his wife are eternaily separated"
Mrs. Forrest is described as a lady of talen:
and beauty. She has been the mother of four
children, all of whom. however, died in in
fancy.
