ARREST OF ABOY MURDERER

On Sunday morning. the 9Th of October 1851,
cod-blooded and cruel murder was committed
on Broad street, between Sd and 4th streets. As
VIM. Thomas, a LAD about / 6 years of age, wns
passing up Broad street, in company with one or
two companions, he encountered another lad
named CudIipp. with whom he had had slight
difficulty the previous evening" The latter re-
newed tho subject, some taunting words passed.
when Cudiipp drew knife and plunged it into
the stomach of Thomas, producing death in about
fifteen minutes. Notwithstanding this atrocious
deed was committed in one of the most freouented
streets in the city, beneath midday sun, the
youthful murderer was permitted to escape He
sezeda h orse belonging to physician of the
| city, and escaped before the authorities were
made acquainted with the crime which he had
committed. Months rolled away, but still no til
dlngs reached the police as to the whereabouts of
the murderer.
Shortly after the commission of the deed, Cud-
'Ipps parents left the city. They removed to a
distant city, and all hope had been long since sur
rendered of bringing the offender to Justice. One

Beautiful Extract.

The following beautiful language is from the
lecture Of Thomas F. Meaghei, the Irish Patriot,
on " Grattan and the Irish volunteers of 1882. %
The Parliament Of Ireland is no more. The
last of the Volunteers has been borne to bis
grave. And so. too, their successors and their
betters-the men Of '99-the men who had
keener sagacity, sharper sN ords, better style of
action, though less easy fortune than the sol
diers Of Dungannon. The streets Of Dublin are
silent now. The hoofs that paved the pave
ment on that day vex the dull stones no mores
The beauty that shone as the hues Of the morn
ing through the vision OF freedom, has vanished
in the night that came upon the land-the throb-
bing heart has glown still beneath the shroud-
the white arms that bore those chains Of crusted
gold have withered like the leaves Of the lily,
have been strewn upon 4he earth, have become
the sport of the wind and the spoil Of the worm.
In silent hall, into the desolate seclusi0n
of which no busy or inquisitivs foot intfudes,
and where the dust falling from the cotnices
might steal languid sound from the marble
slab beneath, SO deep the repose that dwells
there by night and day-in this silent haLi stands
the statute of Henry Grattan-erected, as the
inscription in foreign tongue with a plnintivo
modesty relates, by country not unamiefnl.'
Thus has passed away all that was perisha-
bic Of that day. Yes all that was psrishahls--
all that had not been STEPPED in tie living wa
ters, and with their virtue made vital end invul-
nerable. Not 50 the lessons which made thlt

To appreciate these extraordinary pretensions.
he reader has only to glance at map of the Anne
rican continents. He will there see the paruc
ular State for which General Cass claims the ulti
mate disposal of both is not absolutely the most
extensive even in the Northern alone. The Ter
rtores of Great Britain, as far as square miles an
concerned are still as spacious as those of the
Union. notwithstanding its enormous acquisi-
tons. There are. besides the independent prov
inces OF mexico, the considerable colony OF Rus
sia, and those great central States, to which all
claim on the part of the Union has been Just for
mally renounced. The islands of the Gulf are
shared between Great Britain, France, and Spain.
The southern continent includes three flourish
settlements of france England. and Holland, the
immense empire of Brazil, and numerous large
republics.
As general deduction, it will be observed that
the United States, though possessing boundlesa
resources within their own territories, have nc
settlement or footing elsewhere, either to the
| North or the South in the centre or the Gulf
whereas European powers are established in ev
cry direction. We are well enough acquainted
with the political reputation of General Cass t.
be aware that his views require no very serious
discussion, and that they not to be taken a
discussion, and that they are not to be taken a
evidence of true American feeling; but it is un
fortunate for the moderate and careful manifesto
OF MIR. Everett that the policy he assumes for hi
country should meet at this junctufe with so Dol,
an exponent.

Go feel what 1 have Felt.

Go feel what have felt,
Go bear what have borne
Sink meath blow father dealt,
And the cold worlds proud orn.
Then suffer from year to year
Thy sole relief the scalding tear.
Go kneel as have knelt,
Implore beseech and pray
Strive the besotted hei rt to melt,
The downward curse TO stay
Be dashed with bitter curse aside.
Your prayers burlesqued, your tears divide
Go weep as have wept
Ger lived fathers fall
See every promised blessing swept
Youths sweetness turned to gall;
Life's fading flowers strewed all the way,
That brought me up to woman'f day.
60 see what | have seen
Behold the strong man bowed
With gnasbng teeth, lips bathed in blo1d
And cold and ivid brow;
Go catch his withered glance, and see
There mirrored his souls misery.
Go to thy mo.her's side,
And her crushed spirit cheer;
Thine cwn deep anguish hide
Wipe from her cheek the bitter tear,
Mark he worn frame and withered brow,
The gray tha: streaks her dark hair now,
With fading frame and trembling limb,
And trace the rum back to him
Whose plighted faith in early youth
Promised enternal love and truth,
But who forsworn, hath yielded up
That promise to the cursed cup;
And led her down through love and light,
And all that made her pathway bright.
And chained her there, mid want and strife
That lowly thing Irunkard's wife,
And stamped on childhood's brow SO mild
That withered thing--d drunkurds child.
Go hear and feel. and see and know,
All that my soul hath felt and known;
Then look upon the wine cups glow,
See fits brightness can atone
Think its flavor you will try,
When all proclaim, It's drink and dies
Tell me l hate the bowl
Hate is a feeble word
loathe- abhor-my very soul
With strong disgust is stirred
Whenever see, or hear, or tell.
