Oh! comrades. fiji no glass for me,
To drown my soul in liquid flame;
For if drank, the toast should be-
To biigbted fortune, health and feme.
Yet, though I long to quell the strife
That passion holds against my life,
Still boon companions may ye be;
But, comrades, fill no glass for me!

Whose patient sufferings need my care
l know heart that once was bright;
But dropping hopes have nestled there.
Then, while the tear-drops nightly steal
From wounded hearts that should heal,
Though boon companions ye may be,
Oh! comrades flI no glass for me!
When was Ynnns. felt the ride
ofaspirations undefiled;
But manhood's years have wrouged the pride
My parents centered in their child.
Then by mothers sacred tear.
BY all that memory should revere,
Though boon companions ye may be,
Oh! comrades ill no glass for me!

The GOOD we wight Do.

We all might do good
When we often 90 i'll;
There is always way.
If we have but the will.
Though it be but word
Kindly breathed or suppressed
It may ward off some pain,
Or give peace to some breast.
We all might do good
In thousand small ways;
In forbearing to f1atter, -
Yet yielding due praise;
In spurning ill-humor,
Reproving wrong done.
And treating but kindly
Each heart we have won.
We all might do good,
Whether Iowly or great,
For the deed is not guaged
BY the purse or estate;
lfit be but cup
VI cuiu wuter inut's gwen,
Like the "widow's two mites"
1t is something for heaven.

The Golfers OF England.

1t was in the early dusk of the evening
that we took a walk with a friend to see
the laborers as they came up from coal
mine, where they had been delving from
carly dawn to that moment, some 800 feet
under the surface Of the earth. The mouth
of said mine, was pit or well, down which
Of course, the eve could penetrate but I
short distance. The operatives were drawn
up in basket or car, suspended by strong
rope, after the manner Of bucket in
well, the motive power being steam engine
which was at work hard by They came
up some half dozen at a time, men, women
and children, clothed in rags, beslneared with
dust, and black with coal, conyersing in
jargon which to Us was entirely unintelligible,
although they called It English The friend
who was with us Ian Englishman) informed
us that the women were employed chiefly as
carriers; that j. to say, they carried the
coal IL baskets from one shaft TO another,
and UP the long ladders that extended from
one vein to another, until it was landed at
the foot Of the ''main SHAFT whence il is
drawn TIP by steam ~ they had just been
drawn up. Some of the veins, however,
were % low that they could not stand up
right in them, and in those cases the burden

fastened He said, moreover. that probably
many of these women and children had no.
seen the sun for months that the children
tended the gates that were placed at in
tervals in the veins, and tha. they were for
the most part III total darkness. He fur
ther informed US that 50 close was the con
finemcnt to the mines, that the workmen in
that mine could not understand half that
should BE- said TO them by one from another

as positive flct, that 1t that very mine an
officer went to arrest man, and On inqulr-
ing Of girl some dozen years Of age, she
knew no such man. But On hearing des-
cription of his person. replied, "Oh, yes;
the mans old Shook. III and that same 'old
Snoots' was her father, but she did not
know him by his real name. Whether all
this was true or not, one thing j. certain,
and that is. that nowhere upon the face of
Gods earth have we ever seen a set Of men,
women and children, who bore such unnis-
taxable evidences Of stolid ignorance, inor-
dinate labor, and utter brutality. We have
been on soma plantations where it was evi-
dent that the negroes had hard master ;'
but We solemnly declare We have never seen
anything to compare at all with these col
liers. In all ths intellectual and physical
points of view, the slaves of the South are
immeasurably in advance Of them

At recent sitting of the Cork Assizes,

the principal witness for the defence was a

Upon Crazy Pat being called upon for
his evidence, the attorney for the prosecu-

knowledge Of legal chiclncry in the enleav-
or to force the witness into some slight in
consistency. upon which he might build a
point ;" but he was excessively annoyed to
find that Crazy Pats evidence was consist

In riotous living, while thousands do

and from him had the tale. John Trout

on their excursions. John was not re.
