that we arc sentenced 10 die and though
we sometimes succeed in casting off for ;

truth, we can never entirely remove it
The reflection haunts us still; il haunl'
us in solitude, il follows US in society, I

States, one preacher for every $40 souls"
The avarage Salery Of these preachers is
$500. More than one thousand new

DR.. Baird also estimates that ls, 600, ,000

Eg The GAINESVILLE, Ohio Courier Of
last week, mentions the arrest OF an Irish
man named Peter Ward for putting the
baby Of Patrick White in the FIRE. which
serves to illustrate the spirit of Popery.
The man was held under $1,000 bail !,
failing to give which he was sent to Jail.
The Courier says: rlf
The crime is SO awful, thai, for the
sake of common humanity, we cannot
believe, without The strongest evidence.
that any one bearing the form Of man,
could be guilty of it. The only reason
we hear given for the fiendish act lies in
the fact that While. who it appears was
brought up in the Catholic religion, bad
married Protestant wife, and refused 10
have the child baptised in the Catholic
faith, to which Ward is warm adherent.

And shake the proudvst throne on earth.
When Justice sleeps, or Duty swerves,
Or Traitors act their lying part,
