CELT AND SAXON.

What matter that at different shrines
We pray unto one God
What matter that at different times
Our farthers won this sod
In fortune and in name we're bound
By stronger links than steel;
And neither can be safe nor sound
But in the others veal.
As Nubian rocks, and Ethiop sand
Long drifting down the Nile,
Built up old Egypt's fertile land
For many a hundred mile;
So Pagan clans to Ireland came,
And clans of Christendom,
Yet join their wisdom and their fame
To. build a nation from.
Here came the brown Phoenician
The man of trade and toll
Here came the proud Magician,
A hungering for spoil;
And the Firbolg and Cymry,
And the hard, enduring Dane;
And the iron Lords of Normandy,
With the saxons in their train.
And oh it were a galland deed
To show before mankind,
How every race and every creed
Might be by love combined
Might pc combined, yet not forget,
The fountain whence they rose,
As, filled by many a rivulet,
The stately Shannon flowers.

which is lavished upon their system of polygamy,

members of Congress are, practically, polygamists,
to a greater extent than the Mormons 1t is a
shame to the United States Government that it
has such Territory as Utah Either it ought to
admit that it is incapable of putting down rebellion,
and let Utah leave with all the horrors of war, or
else it ought to crush this nest of vpers under its
heel.

AFFECTION AND INTELLIGENCE OF
THE BRUTE CREATION.

Every one perhaps has heard of the sympatnies
of animals towards each other Cries Of distress
will often call them forth. When the dam of
new born lamb has died, some afectionate sheep,
although she may have one of her own, has been
known to foster and suckle the helpless one In
my own immediate neighborhood, the youngest
Off large litter of pigs-a poor little helpless
creature-who was not able to get at its mother
for nourishment, was warmed under the wings Of
good natured hen. 1t was fed by hand, but when
turned down, the hen was always ready to tako
charge of it, and thus it was reared. These
instances might be multiplied to a considerable
extent, showing the active benevolence Of some
animals, but the following fact will prove the
existence of a combined intelligence in creatures
which | have reason to believe has been hitherto
unnoticed by naturasts as existing amongst the
feathered creation. The accuracy OF the anecdote
may be vouched for. In the Island of Ceylon
there is to be found very cunning and sensible
crow somewhat smaller than our own native one,
having glossy back, and altogether rather an
engaging, pretty-bird. Now, in the yard of the
governor of Ceylon, dog was one day amusing
himself by gnawing bone, the scraps meat
upon which attracted the attention of one of these
crows. 1t aIishted on the ground, hoped around
the dog and the bone, and evidently waited an
opportunity for sezing the latter. The dog, how
ever, was on his guard and by certain growls and
probably angry looks, which the bird understood
no doubt, protected bis property. The crow was
too cunning and too hungry to be bahied. He
few away but soon returned with companion.
They hoppcd up to the dog, when the fresh arrival
watched his opportunity and gave a sudden pull
at the dogs tail Not being used to such an insult,
he suddenly turned round, in order to see who
had taken this liberty with him The bone was
for moment left unprotected, and was Immediately
seized by the first cunning crow, who few away
with it, joined By his companion, and they doubtless
had merry feast upon it Once Week
