going IN common direction a union for warmth
protection, and procuring of food as with the quad
ruped herds. But where is the minsterinp spirit,
the genuine, active sympathy that promts to follow
nome. How much crime, generated by ignorance
and error, might be mitigated and prevented if fol-
lowed home; how much virtue, trembling in the
balance, be preserved intact Who has not at
some time or other, been followed home by a
strange dog? How beseechingly the animal looks
up when you reach your door; confding in his in
stlnct, yet doubling his reception. What has led
him 10 single out you among all others? Friend
less, he seeks friend to be to him instead of his
lost master. The poor NAV not follow the rich to
his house, yet how many heartstricken mourners
forth every day into the streets of our towns
and cities impelled by desperate hope that some
touch of sympathy would reach them at last For
years that faint and Pickering CLEAN of hope is all
that has kept them alive Brightest and most fair
IN the morning it wanes at noon, and at night when
they retrace their weary steps home wardsis spent
dead; only to be resuscitated by the blessed un-
conciousness of sleep, or by following home
And is consoltory to reflect that misery is oftimes
followed home; that oil is poured into smarting
wounds and whispers hope into folorn and dreary
minds: But the sisters of charity are comparative
u few; and the sympathies of the time are for a
following home that shall ameliorate rather than
alleviate
On the whole we may conclude that the prac-
tice of following home would, in many ways, be
productive of good. The philosopher who wished
for window in every breast might have found
this no unworthy substitute. But here, theory
and practice are hardly to be reconciled 1t is not
likely that communities would submit to the social
espionage involved in general system of following
home. The possibility of such system, however,
might not unproftably be kept in mind; and each
one, on arriving at his own door might ask himself
the question-how should act if followed home ?

saved them from the clutches of Russia and the
gallows. and now they are most indignant at the
idea of being held as perpetual Prisonersl
1t is plain that Kossuth and his comrades re-
garded the assurances of Turkey, and the projects
of England and France, precisely as the people of
this country regarded the-0ona ,fde expression
of resistance to all demands of Russia concerning
the fate and the liberties of the refugees. We
shall be greatly mistaken if the English public rest
satisfied in the present extraordinary arrangement
We cannot believe that 1t can have meant nothing
more than hectoring defiance to Russia, and
then quiet submission to its will We are aware
that courier has reached this country in all speed
from Kossuth, and we trust that the public will
not suffer Lord Palmerston to want its aid and
countenance in demanding from Turkey an actual
and not sham resistance to the Russian assump-
ton. The Times says, with chucke Golden
boasted that he would crumple up the Russian pow
er like bit of paper and that Russia Immediately
laid Hungary at its feet-that Golden denounced
the Austrian loan, and it was Immediately raised
That paper pursues its steady course, maligning
the defeated Hungar:ans and Italians in every
possible manner-blackening the character of the
most distinguished of the ladies-and it may now
add to its demoniac triumphs the taunt that the
English people protested against the audacty of
Russia. And that audacity was Immediately
crowned by the quailing of the Turk, and the ig-
nominous acquiescence of England's own Embas-
sador in the Infamous submission. We wait for
further indications of the public mind On this sim
gular subject

The Dying Words of an Old Editor, 1880.

My son, | shall soon be gone, and you will have
the management of the concern, Never expect to
sustain your paper upon any other foundation than
tits merits. Be prudent, temperate, and upright
Work hard. Be civil to every body, and particu-
larly to your customers. If they call themselves
your patrons, wouldn't mind it. Billy let them
call themselves nabobs, if they please so long as
they pay for the paper never exhibit that arstoc-
racy which is part of the original sin that is in us
ALL in any such way, for it will do you good my
son.
Above all things, never put it in the power of
any man to say, 'that is our paper, we subscribed
twenty dollars to keepit up" for sure as you live,
Billy, sooner later, something will be printed that
somebody won't like; and then somebody will drop
his subscription to get your paper down. One man
will withdraw. or become little water-gruellv to-
wards you, because you are too severe upon sin
and another because you are not halfsevere enough
Another will give you that halfway support that
more injurious than no support at all; and if your
paper is heartily praised by some old fashioned
honest hearted man, he will reply in prudent and
well balanced phraseology, that he does not know
but it is So and he does not know as it is SO it is So
Every morning read the fable of the Old Man Jack
ass, and Little Boy. Never omit it. Billy as long
as you live. You will have many things to en-
counter that are not very agreeable Anonymous
letters of an impudent character burn at once =
never mention them to any body, not even to your
wife. Where customer drops the paper do not
betray your displeasure, by an extraordinary ap-
pcarance when you meet again. Never run about
to pica up crumbs of comfort, nor ask any man
what he thinks of this that the other article in
your paper, which you wrote yourself Billy. Be
cautious in putting in your advertisements. Host
good advertising customer by placing another
mans advertisement of melasses before bis own
With your good common sense you will do well
enough The public respect you for your inde-
pendence; but you must remember that there is
the same difference between real and affected in
dependence, as between real nutmegs and the arti
BILE manufactured at home. In word, fear God,
and shame the Devil.

where the bddings were"spiri,ed," and the
large crowd were vieing with each other
in their offers, when pair of blankets

however, caught up the highest, which was

seemed determined to have them a, any

male voice cried out, "Dollar fifty" from
