than any OTHER Eur pelu power. lt is b.
heycd that the misses of her people are
now ON the side of recdom, and perhaps it
may safely be added Republcani,m, if in
deed the terms are not synonymous. Ila-
tired deep and bitter TO England bas taken a
firm hold on the American heart: her acts
of oppression asain, Us when we were weak
cannot be forgotten or overlooked. But the
days Of England's oppression have passed
away-thc men who shed the blood Of our
toretathers have passed away from earth
a new generation Is acting on Enaland's
stage. And in the meantime the world has
made gigantic strides forward in human
progress, in international courtesy and inter-
couse. England and the United States
arc now doing moro for mankind, and to
spread civilization and christianity than all
the rest Of tAc. world combined if then, as
from present appearances, is not mlik ly,
absOutism should combine to establish its
power on firm and enduring basis, and
England should throw her banner to the
breeze with liberty inscribed thereon, all the
powers Of earth could not compel America
to remain inactive and see England crushed
1t would be to abandon the cause that is en-
twined around all our hearts it would but
whet the appetite of absolutsm to try its
bloody jaws upon us. Our nation is made
up of all the nations Of Europe. We have
received largely Of Euope's treasure and Of
her noblcst sons, It may be we shall BE-
called upon to send them back, enlightened
and Republicaniz.d, to redeem and regencr-
ate their fatherland Verify there is pow
er that controls the whole world, in whose
way men are but chalf, and nations as a drop
Of the bucket A few weak and dcspiscd
pilgrims commenced settlement in the wild
woods of America. They begin to spread
and grow like the Banyan tree, throwing
out branches, and these branches taking
root form a trunk united to the parent stem
again extending its branches and again fur
nishing new trunks, until ample shade and
shelter is afforded to the oppressed of the
world. In a little over two centuries, the
nations that at first despisad its fragile stem
begin to fear being oycrshadowed by it,
Whatever future events may require our
foreign policy to be, let us continue to keep
a watchful eye on our liberties at home =
Our greatest danger is that of selt-dcstruc-
ton. Most nations have died by suicide.
The heart Of the tree has become rotten be-
fore the tempest could break the trunk So
long as we cherish the love Of liberty and Of
union, as paramount TO all selfish interests
and sectional jealousics, we are safe. Let
us then cherish and preserve the spirit Of
'76, and let the love Of country be swallow
ed up only by the love of God
WouLD HAVE Ir.-A country man and
lately espoused rib went into drug store
on the corner Of Western Row and Eighth
streets, Cincinnati, and called for glass Of
soda water. As usual, the interrogation oil
" what kind of syrup will you have z" was
made. The man, apparently Of the first
waler, replied" syrup Of squills." awe
do-not use that kind" replied The druggist.
4" knows you don't, beAase it's costly. !
,cW have the syrup Of squills," replied the
man. The druggist demonstrated, but all 10
no purpose. lie would have it, remarking
" that all the Iother syrups were. made Of
sugar, lemon drops, sarsaparlla, and such
things TO humbug the people" The squils
were got, and our hero requested 10 pour
out for himself, and he did so, and a boun
tilul quantity 10 get the worth Of his mon
ey, filling one third of his glass. The he
roine on being asked how she would prefer
hers, raised herself to the dignity of a sup
posed city belle in her opinion, and replied,
" | reckon as how | will try mine without
the squils or any sweelning" Her wish
was complied with, for the druggist was
non plused at the determined independence
of the apparently happy couple. They
touched their glasses, drank, and sat down,
as they remarked, to " let it settle" In
passing their opinion on the drinks, they
gave anything but favorable decision. In
few minutes our hero commenced getting
sick, and vomiting prodgiously. The
scene which followed beggars description
The woman cried and wrung her hands,
The young man supposing himself TO be dy-
ing, fell on his knees in prayer, and offered
FIVE CENTS to a physician who was near
by, if he would cure him. The man after
two hours severe sickness began TO feel bet
ter, and pouring any quantity Of epithets
on all soda water syrups, &C., the unhappy
couple left, when the numerous persons
who had assembled in the store sat down
and enjoyed hearty laugh. The physi
clan received half dime for his trouble

A BILHoN.-What very great sum is a

would take you 10 count it mill which

the mill must work twenty thousand years
