"Well, he's uncle to all the poor little chill

"Mother won't like it ~ "Don't talk to

Little Susey opened the door, and Uncle
jolly walked in-their mamma turned her
head, then with one wild cry of joy she threw
her arms about his neck, while Susy and Ka-
ty stood in the doorway, uncertain whether
to laugh or cry.
Come here, come here" said Uncle Jolly,
II didn't know | was so near the truth this
morning, when called myself your Uncle
Jolly: [ didn't know what made my heart
leap so when | saw you there in the street.
Come here, [ say don't you never shed ano-

to smile, as he drew his coat sleeves across
his eyes.
Wasn't that merry New Years night to
Uncle Jolly's little parlor? Wasn't the fire
warm and bright? We're not the tea cakes
nicer? Didn't Uncle Jolly make them eat
till they had frightened their apron strings I?
Were their toes ever out of their shoes again
Did they wear cotton shawls in January Did
cruel landlords ever again make their mamma
tremble and cry?
In the midst of all the plenty, did they for
get 'spapa?' No, no! Whenever Susy met
in the street a tall, princely man with large
black whiskers, she'd look at Katy and nod
her little curly head sorrowfully as much as
to say, "Oh, Katy, never-never can forget
my own dear papa"
What the Europeans think of America.
Below we give publication to a letter writ
ten by one of England's ablest statesmen
and politician, Lieutenant Trelawney, as an
evidence of the feelings entertained towards
the Americans by the English. Read it =
To the Editor Of the London Daily .NeaeS !,
SIR Our danger is, lest the enisting Go
Uesnnaent lose the friendship Of -fmerico.
The war of opinion will involve that country
inevitably. Let no paltry chickering's occasion
tremendous blunder at the outset of the
struggle.
The cabinet must choose its line-popular or
dynastic. No man can "serve two masters;'
you cannot "serve God and Mammon"
Let the Court beware of adopting a wrong
policy.-The days are gone when skilful
matchmaking would save kingcraft plotting
in any anti-national sense.-The Spanish mar
rages but little preceded the fall of monar-
chy in France. A net of meshes encom-
passing Europe may find the fish too strong
for it. and these last may ''burst their bonds
asunder.''
Lord Palmerston has been right through
out. He seized the opportunity of endorsing
the French President, fixing his keen eye to
the future, and with prescience shared but
few. The cry was and is, where is the con-
stitution of France? The constitution of
France? The man is the constitutions liv-
ing protest and effectual impediment to sche-
ming reaction, and Orleanist or Fusionist in
trigue.
But Lord Palmerston failed to aid Hunga-
ry! Napoleon seized Rome! Can men have
been so blind? How could Palmerston aid
Inn n OF
the supplies-crippling the army and navy !
Palmerston did all he could consistently with
the balance of power in Europe He warned
Austria of the fottenness of her system. and
well may Austria now rue her neglect of his
advice. She might have been buttress
against the Gar, and the trusted benefactress
of Europe, had she governed Hungary on the
principles of the constitution of that country
and given liberal system of administration
to Italy.
Napoleon seized Rome? Yes, the astutest
move of the country. He foresaw the war of
opinion, and provided himself with innate
rial guarantee in good time By that step
he cut off Naples from Austria, and gave the
former emaculated court glimmerng of pur-
poses, and not yet ripe for action. Still
more: he obtained point G'dppu9ai-a ba-
Sis for future operations, when the war of
opinion should break out. How could Ans
tria assail France with French army in the
rear and Rome and Italy let loose and demo-
cratized And yet the Liberals of Italy pre-
terred the chance of obtaining their freedom
in an unequal struggle with Radetsky in the
North and Naples in the South.-W6y they
ought to have regarded the French battalions
as g0dsend.
Louis Napoleon can only govern in accor
dance with the will of the masses. This he
knows full well-Angel or demon-he sees
the situation and understands it. Our game
Is to beware, lest we are entrapped into ano-
ther thirty years war, incurred in order to
save particular families instead of the great
masses OF all lnations whose interest was and
is one-to hurl down from their guilty thrones
all who have dared to misgovern for selfish
or criminal ends. Our Sovereign should now
be well advised by her true friends: and
those who mince matters in speaking Of the
actual state of the case, may one day add a
star to banner already famous in the story
of the world.
