There are three lessons | would write
Three words-as with a burning pen,
In tracings of eternal light.
Upon the hearts of men,
Hare Hope! Tho clouds environ now,
And gladness hides her face with scorn,
Put thou the shadows from thy brow
No night has but its morn.
Hare Failhi where'er thy bark is driven
{. The port-the tempest's mlrth-
Know this-God rules the hosts Of heaven,
Tn. inhabitants Of earth.
Hare Lsss Not love alone for one.4
But man, as man, thy brother call
And scatter, like the circiing sun,
Thy charities on all. -,
Thus grave these lessons on thy Soul
Hope Faith and Loye-and thou shalt Ind
Strength, when life's surges widest roll
Light, when thou else vert blind!

The Sun is sounding on, competing
With brother spheres in oldeh wise,
And, his pqedestiped course completing,
like thunder rushes through the skies
The Angels gather strength by gazing,

The works SO lofty and amazing
Are Godlike as when time began.

Each brilliant glimpse of Eden ending
In darkness frightful and profound;

Up TO the rocks at their deep base,
And onward rock and sea are dashing
In every rapid planet-race'

And rival tempests roar on, stormlng
From sea to land from land to sea,
And, as they rage, girdle forming
OF deepest wOrld-activity;
There glares you flashing devastator
Before the stunning thunder's way
But they, thy servants, Q Creator,
Revere the course of thy mild day!

Though fatholn Thee be none who can;
Each lofty work of thine still hveth

Moral IIeroisn.

Mr.. Golden, who, in his own seas carried more
guns tlianany other man in England, having re-
celyed panegyrlc pronounced by some clergy
man on the character and services Of the Duke of
Wellington, has written three very long and able
letters, in denial of the business of the wars sOf
England against France, land consequently of the
right'o Wellington, who led in these wars, to be
considered as good man or public benefactor.
He maintains atgreat length, that the war against
France was undertaken to put,down the princi-
pies of freedom. fn,referrihg' to the mmeasura-
bic superiority Of victories of peace over victories
Of war, hein,akes the following striking illusions
to the, moral herOism ofthe English Quakers a.
mid ihe Irish famine.
r''Ihe' famlno tell upon nearly one-half of a
great nation. The whole world fastened to con-
tribute money and food. But few courageous
men left their homes in Mddlesex and Surry ,and
penetrated to the remotest gens aud !b0gs Of the
west coast Of the stricken island, Oadmiaistaf re-
lief with their own hands, They fouadfthem4
selves not merely in tlie valley of the shadow of
death-that would be bdtlan imperfect image
they were in the charnel house of a nation. Ne
ver since the lth century did Pestilence, the
gaant hand.maid of Famine, CLEAN SO rich har-
vest. In the midst, Of q. sceHe, which no field Of
battle ever eqaalled III danger. in the number Of
its slain or the physical suffering of the living,
these brave men walked as calm and unmoved as
though they had been in theiraown homes. The
population sunk so fast that the living could mo,
bury the dead halfinterred bodies protruded from
the gaping graves; often the wife diada h, the
midst Of her'starving children, while the husband
lay fostering corpse by her side. Into the midst
Of these horrors did our heroes penetrate, drag
ging the dead from the living with their own
hands, raising the heads Of the famishngs aiil-
dren, ,'abd pouring nourishmsnt into parGhea lips,
from which shot fever flames more deadly thar
volley Of musketry. Here was courage! No
music strung the nerves no:smoke obscured the
imminent danger, nolthundef sfarillery deaden-
&c the senses. 1t WIS cool seE-possession and
resoute will, calculated risk and heroic resigha-
ton. And who, we're these brave men 2 To
what agallant'f corpse did'rhey belong? Were
they Of the horse, foot, ,ior artillery force? They
were Quakers, from Chapman and Kingston If
you would know what heroic actions they per-
formed, you must inquire from those who witness
ed them.'. You will not find them recorded in the
volume ofreports published by themselyes-for
Quakers write no bulletins of their victories" ~

E,ni-rntion from ireland.

In the five years ending in 1929, the number
of emigrants from Ireland was III ,OS4 IN the fol
lowing five wears, 9ol ,956; in the next five, 2S7 !
SOC in the next, 465 579; in the five years end
ing lS49, i ,039, ,2O9; and in the three years,
lS50,-'5l and '52, the number was 994, ,43O.-
The emigration Of 1852. as compared with 1925,
was no less than 255 times larger; while the 10
tai emigration from the United Kingdom in twen-
weight years was 8 3,2G9, ,674,-a number quite
equal to the population Of the United States at
the close of our revolutionary war. Hitherto the
largest portion of the emigrants has come to this
country, and even during the past year, since the
gold discovery in Australia. nearly three times as
mauy departed for the United States as for all the
Australian Colonies. In 1852, the increase OF
emigration, as compared with 1851, was 81 100;
and there is every reason TO believe that the aug
mentation Of the present year will be greater than
the last. =. .~-.
In many parts of Ireland the desplation caused
by the departure of the people is as painful as is
amazing to traveller fresh from our happy land
A correspondent tells us that the most active have
gone over to America to prepare the way for their
families, so that fewTemain except the very young
and the very old. The trayeller-he says--may
ride twenty miles and more, over the finest soil
in Ireland, without seeing farm house, or a hui
man creature who is not a pauper. Renittances
are flowing into every quarter from America and
Australia to hasten the departure of relatives who
have been left at home. Nine-tenths of the let
ters received in Ireland from this country-rsays
the London Times-eontain drafts from inlml
grants. ..From the railway stations at Limerick
to Clonmel, from Limerick and Galway to Dub
lin and elsewhere throughout the country, the
people are flying in crowds to Waterford and Liv
erpool to take shipping for the new world" In
deed, such is the complete drain of population IL
certain rural and manufacturing districts, that en-
terprising propretors will be obliged to abandon
their works to some extent, in consequence OF tint
inability to secure laborers.

for his books as if he had just laid them down, and

long blank in his life, or anything which had oe-

FooD FOR ANlMALs,-A striking illustration
of the fact that all animals are not designed fol
all kinds of food, is, that while the wild boar and
the vulture devour the rattlesnake uninjured, and
fatten upon it, there are many kinds of vegetables
which neither. of these is capable of digesting.-

to digest grain or bread. The stormy petrol, the

On Sowing Flower Seeds.

The Ohio Cultivator, ofthe 18th inst, gives
the following directions for the cultivation OF GER
tain flowers:
"Rich mellow soil is the first requisite for Z
good flower bed. Not few inches of black mur-
Ky earth spread over bed Of clay originally dug
from the cellar, but good deep garden soil, well
pulverized, and enriched, if necessary, with well
rotted manure. Ifat all clayey, SO as to bake af
ter rain, the surface should be covered with a
mixture of wood, earth and sand, well mixed and
raked fine. In this SOW the seeds as early as you
please after this time, taking to cover the fine
seeds. as petunia, portulacca, campanua, &C., We
ry slightly; while the large kind, as balsamine
asler, larkspur, &c., may be covered, say quarter
of an inch deep; cypress vine seeds should be
soaked in milk kept nearly bloodwarm for forty;
eight hours before sowing. Care must also be Ia
ken 10 shade the ground where the fine seeds are
sown until the young plants are strong enough tc
bear the hot sun. This may be done by placing
shnge or bit of thin board over the spot, support
ed an Inch or Two above the ground by sticks OF
small stones or strong paper may be fastened di.
rectly on the surface, and held there BY pegs TIL
the plants begin to appear. Water occasionally
il dry weather, before and after the plants appear
and keep the ground clear of weeds and mellow
by frequent stirring. s'S
'.Most of our list of flowers are ANNALS of easy
culture. and quite Snowy. The Asters, especial
ly, will be found very beautitul--embracing more
than twenty distinct varieties or colors, most Of
them very double, and some OF greater size than
ever before seen in this country. i, Give these ve
ry rich ground, and plenty of water in, dry wealth
er, then look out for ptenaiums atthe fairs mex
fall Other kinds, as the balsamine, larkspar
marigold, zinnia, &c., are of greatly improved ant
snowy varieties, and quite a number have never
before been introduced in this country. The can
terbury-bells and pinks are the only, peFennias-
these doaot yfewer till, the second year. Tht
hearts ease and snap-dragon are classed with an
nuals because they flower the first year from seed
although they live two or more years."
