Voice from Ire1an0. -
War! That war! What does it mean
what does it mean for Ireland? The Irish
nation, too, has its instincts, and these have
told it something that fires the eye and stirs
the blood Of youth and sire all over the
land Never, since the shout Of American
Independence woke An echo in the church
of Dungonnoon, has news so momentous
startled Ireland. No prophets voice is
needed to foretell what all foresee. Yes, it
may be that God has needed our long suff-
ering, and heard our fcrvent prayers. 1t
may be that the last day is dawning "our
fathers eyes were not to see." War be-
tween England and America between
England and the Irish abroad between
England and millions of our nearest and
dearest kindred-our own very flesh and
blood. There are 100, 900 armed and dis
ciplined Irish soldiers In America-they
arc the banished Celts whom the Times
proclaimed were "gone with vengance." !"
Not ION the slopes Of st. Antoine" did
"the Irish troops" Of King Louis leap more
wildly with excitement than would those
vengeful Celts across the western ocean, on
the news that England drew the sword
against America. In that hour the bitter
memories of lifetime-memories the most
terrible that ever cxiles bore-would find
vent in the cry for Vengeance on their heart
less exterminator-the exterminatOr that
exulted over their expatriation, laughed at
their sorrows, and Knocked at their distress.
Yes, if England has cause to start In high
excitement ut the news we chronicle to-day,
Ireland has cause deeper still. The crash
of arms in America brought her freedom
once before She needs but the same firm
ness, unanimity, patriotism now, to grasp
it one more Dublin Nation.

BARNUM's LAST SToRY.--Barnum is al
ways ready with good story. His latest
is the following, which is told of Elias
Howe, Jr., who is very active in fitting out
regiments for the war. Mr.. Howe has
spent thousands of dollars in this way and
taken SO great an interest in military affairs
that he has had but little time to attend to
anything else.
One day very worthy Connecticut dea-
con called upon the gentleman with a sub
scriptlon list. He wanted Mr.. Howe to
give something towards erecting new
church.
"a new church," replied Howe, "ah,
a new church. | don't think can give
anything, because am spending all my
spare money for the war. Can think Of
nothing else.''
The deacon looked respondent Mr..
Howe seemed firm in his determination
not to give rcd. AT last he asked the
deacon what the new church was to be
called .--rhE.-- --saG-sa7
"rhe church of st. Peter, sir" was the
reply: ..-. 80. .' .. ..
"Ah, the chuch o: st. Peter" replied
Howe. "Well as st. Peter was the only
fighting apostle in the lot. guess I'll
have to give him something. But I can't
do much even for St. Peter, as my time
and money must be almost entirely devot-
ed to Sdltpetre.

DEL,cAcY.-Above every other feature
which adsrns the female character, delica-
cy stand foremost within the province OF
good taste Not that dclicacy which is
perpetually in quest Of something to be
ashamed Of, which makes merit of blush,
and simpers at the false construction it's own
ingenuity has put upon an innocent re-
mark this spurious kind Of delicacy is far
removed from good taste as from good
feeling and good sense; but that high
minded delicacy which maintains its pure
and underwriting walk alike among women
as in the society Of men; which shrink>
from no necessary duty, and can speak.
when r. r'quircd, with seriousness and kind
ness, at things of which it would be ashamed
indeed to s,nike or blush. This is the del
icacy which forms so important part oi
good taste, that where it does not exist as
a natural instinct, it is taught as the first
principle Of good manners, and considered
as the universal passport to good society.
