THE IRISH ExoDCs.

The Irish journals are largely occupied
with details Of the emigration movement.-
Thousands Of the natives Of the soil we're
gathering together their worldly property
and preparing to depart either for the United
States or Australia. The Athlone Sentinel
says that soTery day the railway station II
crowded with persons crowdiug to Amer
ica.' The Dundalk Democrat says that
every boat that leaves the quays carries Cd
numbers Of perscns from that and the adjoin-
ing counties on their way to the United
States, the passage money in most cases be-
ing paid on the American side Of the Allan
to- The Tuam Herald noices tho depar--
ture Of three hundred emigrants, all within
a fortnight, and all destined for the United
States. The Waterford news also chrou-
icles tho departure Of two steamers, both Of
them or DIVIDED with Adventures for Amer
isas The Galway Packet says that cmigra-
ton to the United States is on the increase,
and that before the end Of the year Ireland
win be entirely deserted, and the silence and
desolation which now brood over Connemara
will be visible in the most ~populous districts
of the county, The Sligo Chronicle says
that the continuance of the rage for lea wing
Irel and is one Of the extraordinary features
of the times, and is wholly inexplicable when
we consider the resent prosperous state Of
the country and the accounts continually
received Of the sad disappointments expert
cnced BY thousands who were happy and
comfortable at home.

pey-A sophist, wishing to puzzle Thalcs.
the Milesian, one Of the wise men of Greece,
proposed to him in rapid succession these
difficult questions. The philosopher replied
to them all without the least hesitation. aud
With how much rroprlely and decision our
readers can judge for themselves:
What is the Oldest Of all things?
God because be always existed.
What is the most beautiful?
The world because it is the work Of God.
What is the greatest Of things?
Space: because 1t contains all that is cre-
ated.
What is the quickest Of all things?
Thought because in u moment it can Fly
to the end Of the universe.
What is the strongest
Necessity because it makes men face all
the dangers of life.
What is the most difficult?
To know thyself.
What is the most constant Of all things?
Hope because it still remains with man
after he has lost everything else.
