throughout our land that the closing scenes oil

school room for short time not knowing the
intention Of his visitors, when deputation was
sent for him requesting his immediate presence
at the school room. He returned and entered
the room, when 10! table, laden with the
most delicate dainties met his vision. Such
kind attention from the people OF the vicinity
was altogether unexpected.

the warmest and most tender regard for those

deserved respect
Here is an example for other schools to iini.

pursue, and duly appreciate the eeueht of their
labors.

TOPs.-Tops have come. We saw one Yesterday
"a veritabe top-we heard the music of its hum
we watched it as it went to seep-and we waited
unilts last gyration died away and it flew off out
of the magic circle, in the same old-fashioned and
irregular tangent. 'Well what if tops have
come,' the reader may say, sis there ANYTHING
particular in top?' Good friend-althOuph
somewhat critical-there is much in a ton II has
story to tell-it comes in with Client 1T sings
o white clouds and blue skies-t is the foreruuner
of April showers-the first blossom of spring
Those urchins in rOundabo9ts and tucked panta
looms, whose pockets are now swelled out with
magical cones and whipcord-are the best chrOni-
cers OF the changing seasons. They watch for tho
ldes OF March with eyes that will not be deceived
and they know when the sunshine is longer and
stronger as well as astronomers and meteorologists.
Tops, marbles and kites are as regular in their
round as the planets in their orbits-and you may
swear by them as men sometimes swear by Jupiter
and Mars.
And so yesterday, when we heard the creaking
slip OF the cord, and that soft musical whistle which
once hlled our ears with joy,-we knew that the
winter was over, and that "the time OF the singing
birds" had come We knew that the SHOWS were
beginning to dissolve on the mountains that the
ice was melting in the brooks,--that water crosses
were sproutlng in the meadows, and that the
circling sap was warming up the hearts of ancient
oaks and elms, and giving new life to their stout
trunks and arms. There may still be lurries OF
snow Boreas may pipe in the North, and the
winds may blow and beat against our doors and
shake US in beds-but the winter is over and
the sceptre of icicles and shadows is broken. AL
ready the jocund day steps out of the East like a
king in purple, and his sunset paviions are bathed
in showers of gold. Here and there too, are bios
SONS in tie grass, and the sleeping blood of the
forest is shooting out into dripping buds and greer
leaves
The school-boy carries a weight of wisdom in his
cap. You may put faith in his foreknowledge. H,
notes the parallaxes of the stars and keeps the
record of the sun. He is better than an almanac
And when tops come, and you hear them hummine
like bees in the streets and alleys,-you NAV bt
sure that the verna equinox is near, and you may
look for clearer horizons and warmer skies.- Prov

THE French INVASION OF IRELAND-Smith
O'Brien has published pamphlet in condem nation
Of the project for invasion of Ireland by France
which has attracted considerable attention. In
supplement to it, since witten, Mr.. O'Brien SAYS:
'There is tradition in the county of Clare that
gentleman named Michael Comyn, who wrote
some stories and poetry in Irish, which well de-
serve to be read by our students of the Gaelic Ian
guage, was so firmly persuaded that Ireland was to
be delivered from the British rule by French or
Spanish invasion, that he spent great part of his life
In meditating upon this contingency. The invasion
never took place, but poor Mr.. Comyn neglected
his business and spent his fortune in preparation
Tor it, so that be reduced himself from comfortable
circumstances TO pauperism.
"Let us not initiate either Michael Comyn or the
learned doctors. Let not neglect the essential
inlerests OF our country while we cherish illusory
expectations"

when II is once in possession of a large force no

at the mercy of the power holding possession OF
