The cold and stormy weather,
And hurry oil 10 bed.

OF all the girls | know,
To have me for their loving one,
And they have answered--No !

On the last day Of the session Of Parliament
Lord Palmerston stated his views on the block
aiding question. He said in effect that If the
blOckading force should allow one ship to enter
a bloekaded port by payment of duties, from that
moment the blockade is raised. A billigerent
may steal up port, but If he lets one vessel in
his right is gone. 1t fOllows, therefore, that
when Federal cruiser willingly allows ship TO
pass into the blOokaded port upon payment Of
customs, the blockade will be at an end.
