Last Words of Gen. M'Cook.

There is something sublime 10 the last
words of the murdered hero, Gen. Robert
M'Cook: 81 am done with life-yes,
this ends it all. You and l part now,
but the ,ss of ten thousand such lives as
yours and mine would be nothing if their
sacrifice would save such government as
ours" These words are worthy to be en-,
gravcd o, the heart Of every solder ih our
nrmy, of every seaman in our navy. They
are worthy to be treasured up in the MEM
CRY, too, Of every one who weeps at home
for the brave who return no more. Let
them be repeated from lip to lip around
the camp fire where the soldiers gather
to speak of the past and speculate upon
the future. Let them pass from mouth
TO mouth when the serried ranks move
forward to the field of death. The senti.
mcut is heroic-it will kindle a fame in
many a manly heart, and give teufold en-
crgy to many a stalwart arm. The life
of the brave loyal soldier is precious be.
yond all price; yet the sacred object for
which it is sacrificed is vastly more pre-
cious still. How the utterance of such a
sentiment from the pallid lips Of the dying
hero puts to shame the apathy Of half hear
ted friends to our Government!

Scrap of Irish History.

1t is established fact in history that the
Eaglish we're once in the habit of selling
their children and other relations to be
slaves in ireland. But under the inau-
ence of christian principles, the generous
Irish, in a national synod, not only put au
end to the nefarious traffic, but emaucipa-
ted all the English slaves in the kingdom.
This took place in the year HIP. ireland
being then afflicted with public calami,ies,
the clergy aud people began to reprOach
themselves with the unchristian practice
Of purchasing and holding in slavery their
fellow mel. Although these slaves were
fairly paid for, and although they we're ma
tives of an Island from which the Irish had
already began to receive great injuries, it
was unanimously resolved in council to
set them at liberty. The Irish people
were at that time a much more enlighten.
cd and intelligent people than the En-
glisb. This fact has not been sufficiently
remembered to the honor Of Ireland,
when pleading with Britons to impart the
success of humanity and the blessings Of
the gospel to the Ignorant and oppressed
population of that interesting island.
1t is also worthy Of remark, that in the
division Of the House of Commons, on the
first motion of Mr.. Wilberforce, for the
abolition of the African slave trade, after
thc Irish Uoion, every member present
the measure. ireland should
surely be the land Of the .free.-Cyplty's
