FANNY FERN AFTER THE WOMEN
Fanny was musing one Sunday after the
following style, which she has been
candid enough to talk about. She's a
funny boyl
I've been reading the Bible to-day,
and it strikes me that our foremothers
were not very correct old ladies. Who
firted with the old serpent? How came
SIMPSONS hair cut off and his peppers
extinguished? Who perforated Jsel's
head with tenpenny nails? How came
Jonah sent on a whaleing voyage?-
Who helped Ananias tell fbs? Who
put Job up to swearing? Who raised a
hurricane in good old Abrams house?
Who danced John the Baptist's head off
his shoulders, hey? I'd like to notice
that's all } what a stock we all sprung
from.
If they weren't teetotally depraved.
may l never find out which Of 'em
descended from! They didn't seem to
have the least consideration for future
generations ''long since unborn" Now
I don't calculate, myself. to feel respon-
sible for their capers. I've read some
where in Byron, L believe, that every
wash-tub must stand on its own pedes-
tall (or something like that don't
believe. in saddling my shoulders with
old-fashioned transgressions.
Curious, though, isn't it? the mis-
chief women make in the world? Great
pity Noah hadn't set Mrs. Noah adrJJi
when he ''took one of each kind in the
ark" l should rather have stood my
chance for ducking than have been
shut up with such ...promiskus" men
agerie. Noah was worthy old gentle
man. No mention made of his getting
tipsy but once, / believe.

THE APPLE.

picked an apple from the ground,
Aperfect apple. red and round;
Its fower-like perfume caught the sense
With gusts of balm and frank incense,
Borne on the wind that lightly flew
Through the clear dome Of cloudless blue
A swarm of ants had found the prize
Before it met my wandering eyes,
And careless in their busy pleasure,
Ran Ger and Ger the fragrant treasure.
blew them of, nor cared to know
Whittier the luckless things might go.
So God, who holdeth in his hand
This perfect world on which we stand,
Blows US, ah whittier, with his breathf
Our friends who miss US, call it Death.

NRw ERA IN IRISH JouRNAIIsM.-A new era
will soon dawn on Irish Journalism in the United
States. Hitherto the Irish papers in this coun-
try have been sectaran and exclusively Irish.
These journals have done much to keep the
uneducated classes of the Irish race in igno-
rance. and in isolation from the American peo-
pie. They have done a serious injury to the
cause of Irish freedom, and at the same time in
terfered to some extent with the harmonious
working of this republic. They have excited
the most bitter feelings of animosity between
Catholics and Protestants in country where
every religion is free, and none is oppressed or
prosecuted; and at the same time they have
stirred up the worst passions between native"
and adopted" citizens. While they have done
all this evil they have not exhibited one re-
deeming trait--not one sign of vitality. They
have given their readers no information or in
struction OF any kind. Among the Irish journals
we may enumerate the Boston Pilot, the New
York Truth Teller, the Irish american, the
Fyeeman's Journal, the american Celt, and
the Shepherd of the Valley. Perhaps their
united circulation does not amount to $4,000,
but yet it is sufficient to do vast deal Of mis-
chief
Most of these journals have abused 7. F.
Meagher through all the moods and lenses.
Already one Of them. the Boston Pilot, edited by
Catholic priest. has made an onslaught upon
John Mitchell, and this is only foretaste ofwhat
he may expect. Why these attacks are made
nobody can tell, unless that the objects Of tn m
express their political opinions without consult
ing their clergy beforehand. We apprehend
that one effect of the new Irish organ will be to
get rid of the nuisances called Irish journals !;
and the sooner those who have any property
invested in them can dispose Of it, the better for
the mselves..
The Forthcoming paper is not to be scctarian,
or even exclusively Irish. It is to be founded
on broader basis-republican freedom all over
the world, and particularly in Great Britain
and ireland. Mr.. Mitchell is not theologian,
but rebel against the thrones and principali-
ties of the British empire, and he is willing to
fraternize with all who agree with him in this
sentiment, no matter what may be their rel-
gious opinions. The happy union Of Mitchell
and MeaQher-a Protestant and Catholic-in
the ent rprise, is an Indication Of the spirit in
which it is to be carried out. There is now the
promise and pledge of brilliant Irish republi-
can journal, that will sweep away the wretched
papers which corrupted the Irish mind in Anne
RIGA, that will infuse new soul into the Celtic
race, and that will operate as mighty lever
to overthrow monarchy and oligarchy in Great
Britain and Ireland.
