Coop SENsE.-Some Scotch Presbyteri
ans recently asked Lord Palrnerston if the
English government did not intend to apr
point a National Fast on account Of the
Cholera, His Lordslip's reply is remarka-
bic for lis good sense. lie told them that
the Cholera i produced by the filth and
gases generated in great cities, and that its
present visitation is an awful warning to the
English people, that they have 100 much
neglected their duty in removing these evils,
and that the best course to be pursued to de-
serve that the evil should be stayed, is not
to fast but to arork-to remove the cause
Of disease. When man has done his ut
most for his own safety, then is the time to
invoke the blessings Of Heaven to give eff
feet to his cxcrsinns." a..
