All wet with gliitsriug dew;

And gently speak to you.

TO bloom in fsirer bowers.

Liberty and its different LoversI
Liberty stepped out OF its childhood and
became a strong and beautiful maid,
whose woocrs are many ard different. The
Spanisrd, the French and the Irish Imam,
the Italian, the Polander, the Hungarian
and the German they sltlove the magnif
cent maid, each one in different style but
with deep passion. as the bride is not on
ly beauty but also considered rich par
ty in this modern century.
The "Spaniard." who scarcely escaped
the chains of Despotism and the yoke Of
priests and through both neglected in his
education. fanatic, rude and cruel. but pos

adox mixture of alteration, bravery and
rudeness, they are often times tinctured
with righteousness and therefore the
"wooer" is called Political Don OUR

Different loves the "Frenchmanl" He
is the political "aimable rous - He left be
hind him the conclusions of wild and deep
passions. he has played out all the notes Of
a deep and violeut love, he treats liberty
with the manners of coxcomb or "par
lor man." His feelings are characterized
in inspired speeches aud sudden activity,
polished fatteries towards the bride, great
perseverance in once obtained position,
certain not unpleassDs libertineism of
words and actions besides great faculty
OF Imagination and egolism. Selfish in
his ioo,iyes, be loves liberty on account of
her wealth. which he hopes TO divide. TO
enjoy and pisspend 1t iat'ers his Idle
ness TO become the husband of so beautiful,
so wealthy uaid, to be the only blessed
aud admired amongst all other nations.
The love of the "Irishman" is similar TO
the love of the Spaniard (s- like motives
have like consequences) but nevertheless
different, because in Ireland the cstholi.
eism (ecclesia pressa) was not "triumphans'
but "militans," and Britain knows less Des
potism, than Professionalism knows priest
like Inquisition."
Therefore the "Irishman's" love Of lib
erty is fanatic and religious, it Is an admi
rable mixture OF softness and calmness.-
His love is elegiacal like the green Erin
The "Italian" in his demands of tn,
