more powerful than another could be aI
duccd to prove the natural elevated charac
r ter, the profound national sympathy and
the noble religious sentiment of the poo,
Irish, this argument will he found in the large
remittanccs Of money which come by every
post to the parents and the friends they left
ut home i'll Ireland. The noble Irish, the
lllustrious poor, the unt;lintcd Irisl, children
set an example i'll this unqucncaLlc love
OF home, OF friends, Of religion, which their
prosecuting rulers never can equal or imi-
tate and it again proves that our legislation
can neglect and Danish, as outcasts, race,
which under the most adverse circumstan-
ccs Cn their forlorn humble posi,ion) stands
prc-cmlncntly supirior in every virtue Which
idorns our common nature and adds lustrc
TO religion. Is not the fourth command
ment as well fulfilled by the love of the
peasant boy as by the son Of the prince :;
and is not the virtue Of Lazarus dcarc TO
heaven than the character of Dives! Yes,
the noble Irish, in their love of their par
cnts, in their fidelity to homo, to their coun-
try, and to their God, brand Englands per-
secution and her partial laws with cl.ar-
acter Of injustice and cruelty Which can

1t is, then, clear case that until some
remedy be adopted to give reasonable sccu-
rlty and protection in the tenure Of land;
and Till the Legislature impose a rational
restriction on the ferocious bigotry Of the
, trunk and the intcrminablc branches Of the
Church Establishment, the river OF cmigra-
ton will not be diverted from its present
unnatural course. The same cause will al.
ways produce the same effects and hence
the country will, year after year, be drained
Of population and national resources, till
England finds it ier advantage and her in
tcrest to alter the laws in reference to ten
ancy of land, and to check the disastrous
sectaranism Of an idle, useless, mischcyous,
crccdlcss, dominant church. Any scheme
short Of the views here humbly advocated
can never give peace or confidence to the
Irish people; they know that land may soon
| bc placed in the same system Of disastrous
competition, which produced the tcrrors of
the years that are past, they believe that
back rents, ejectmen:s and drivers, will
again return by a regular cycle, unless an
equitable law of Tenant Right Lc framed {;
and every man who can command the
passage money, and who has friend in
America, will leave Ireland if he can.
Tile Female Iemper.-We like TO see Il
woman Of spirit and life; for dull, supine,
prosy woman is a poor affair indeed. And
we have no particular objection to seeing
"thc sparks fly" occasionally, when some
thing really stirring occurs. We like to
see her joyful and lively; and, if she has a
little spice of waggery, wo can put up with
it very wcll-nay, We like it all the better.
But cross, sour temper, we have no good
opinion of; for woman who can never
look pleasant, but is always fretting and
scolding, will make an unhappy home for
all within her house. And we had as lie {
undertake to live i'll barrel of vinegar in
a thunder storm, rs to live in the house
with such woman. Solomon was right
when lie said: "It is better to live in the
corner Of a housc-top, than to dwell in a
wide house with n brawling woman" Let
4 woman wear sunshine on her count en-
ancc, and it will drive the dark clouds from
her husbands face, and JOY will thrill
through the hearts Of her children. Let a
woman's words be soothing and kind, and
everything is happy around her. Her in
iucnce will be powerful. Others will catcl,
her sweet temper, and all strive to see who
can lie most like her. Sweetness Of temper
in woman is more valuable than gold, and
more to lie priced than beauty. But may
Heaven keep US from an untamcd shrcw,
whose looks arc wormwood, and whose
words are gall! We had rather take
Daniels place with the lions, than to think
of living within gun.slot Of such a tcrme.
CANT. If women knew their power, and
wished to exert it, they would always show
sweetness Of temper; for then they are ire
sistiblc.
