Rem arkabIe1 story Relating to tho
United Statea.

Il !. sa t44t lts
The distinguished Lord Normandy, Of England.
lately proposed to party of friends visit to
the United States. His lordship, though SO emf
nent as Statesman, so well skilled in all the in
trcate devices of the old world, possessed but lit
tie knowledge of the new. Desiring to extend
his information in this respect in the most salts
factory manner, he suddenly made the above
mentioned proposition, one evening, at his own
mansion Two of his friends Immediately ap-
proved the plan, and it was arranged that they
should depart within week. During the voy-
age the noble party frequently conversed of their
destination, and could not help regretting to each
other they had not acquired few particulars of
the country-at least in a geographical point--as
their stay would be brief, and they wished to
make the most of it One Of their number, how
ever, the young Lord H., who had just left Ok
ford, felt sufficient confidence, he said, to act as
guide, and recommended that the party should
especially visit Pennsylvania, in the State Of Phil
adelphiar-a town celebrated for its pretty Nor
mon girls. This suggestion was adopted, notwith-
standing the apprehensions of Sir Walter Welliver
(who had seen Yankee picture of Penan's Treaty
Nth tho Iadians) that the route might be rem
dered dangerous by sayages. .., ...
We must pass over many incidents equally in
structive, and suppose the voyagers landed at
New York. 1t was now near the time for the
meeting of Congress- and, before visiting the town
of Pennsylvania, our party resolved to witness
the organization of the houses, anticipating much
amusement therefrom. Accordingly, 'sall aboard!''
and away!
"Where do you think of going?" said pas
senger in the car to friend by his side.
"To the United States" was the answer.
'sUnited States!'' said Lord Normandy, in o
whisper Of astonishment to his youthful guide
;. United States! Are we not in the United
States now9"
"Well-I thought sol thought New York
was-but-"
And silence ensued-soon broken by the stran-
gers:
"Were you ever there?'
"Yes, often. feel quite at home in the United
States. So many persons there whom one would
wish to meet-so attentive is everybody to youi
same time-so like home!'
"DeIghtful! J!
"And let me tell you, my good friend, as you
are young man, do believe that the most beau
tiful women nature ever formed come from all
parts Of the globe to the United States"
| Lord h. smiled affectionately, and wished ths
cars to 60 faster.
Now the shrill whistle sounded-now the traiI
stopped. .e. ..
| "Carriage, gentlemen ?" bawled twenty voice
| in at the windows. ........
'This way, gentlemenl Number Sc. Wher
to, gentlemen"
| "To the United States ~ said Lord Normandy
entering the coach" persons one would wish
| to meet!"
"By all MEANS" said Sir Walter, clamberine
up the steps" such luxury"
"United States of course!" added Lord H..
with bound" beautiful women"
In ten minutes more the party stood in the
United States---Hotel, Pennsylvania Avenue,

A REVEREND RAscAL.-Our attention is called
to o report in the Glasgow Herald, =" Scotland
of the proceedings at a meeting of the Parochial
Board of Greenock on the 3lst Dec. last. On that
occasion it was proved that Roman Catholic
priest named John Scanlan had seduced SER
want girl named Ann Jean johnson, and that
they had two children, which, owing to Scanlan's
leaving for America, had come upon the parish
for support. 1t is said that he was translated to
New York with an excellent character, and that
he is officiating here in his clerical capacity
which we hope is not true. We publish this to
warn whomsoever it may concern against his
internal arts.-TTtbune.

" Stick to it," Who ever knew mortal to enrol
himself under this banner and come out the little

principle, acted up to with rectitude, purpose,
heart soul, would keep any man above water
and in blue sky
"Stick to it, It's the very secret Of success
in epitome All history, all experience, the tri-
umph of mind, art, literature, every great and
noble work is its direct and appropriate llustra-
ton. He who would be, do, gain, make, save,
achieve anything in whatever department of life,
trade politics, religion, philanthropy or love, must
make it his first and last object of solicitude--
the alpha and omega of his aspiration and action

nation and light of an all-conquering resolution,
said ''Ill stick to it," and who did and has stuck
to it ever since. - q t"'

Resignation OF Lord Palm.rston. /.

~
The recent exhibition of Palmerston's sympathy
for Hungary, and the circulation of Gladstone's
pamphlet against Neapolitan tyranny, the New
York +" Herald" remarks, have created prodgous
discomfort amongst the despotc cabinets of the
Continent. The coup detat of Louis Napoleon
and its success in his election to the Dictatorship
of France, only add to the danger apprehended
from these discontents by Lord Palmerston, and to
the fright of the British Cabinet. Palmerston,
therefore, has been compelled, on account of his
popular sympathies, and through the influence of
the British aristocracy, to resign his position and
give it up to Lord Granville, who is nominally a
whig, or belonging to the liberal party, but is
comparatively young man, with no decided
character, but rather leaning to the despotc
powers of Europe.
The future movements of the English govern
ment and the English people will now become
very interesting. Lord Pamerston and all his
friends will undoubtedly throw themselves upon
the popular cause, and take strong position in
favor of parliamentary reform, on some enlarged
and menacing plan to the privileges of the aris-
tocracy.
