JOHN BRIGHT on THE AMERICAN liEPUR.
LIc.-At the same meeting at Rochdae,
England, on he Gath OF November, at
which Mr.. Golden made the eloquent
speech on American affairs some extracts
of which have been given in our columns,
John Bright was present and spoke. He
said that the enemies o! popular rights
had pointed 10 the American war as a
dreadful proof of the evils of extended
suffrage, but that he thought what was
going on in America afforded the most tri.
umphant answer to charges of this kind
Nobody could deny that the government
at Washington had shown itself, as regards
its own people, the strongest government
in the world at this honr He would not
inquire into causes but look at facts. The
United States had brought more men into
the field, built more ships for the navy, and
shown greater sources than any nation in
Europe is capable Of The most perfect
order prevailed at their elections, at which
250 900 persons voted 10 given State,
with less disorder than had been seen in
the smallest boroughs of England. In
spite Of the terrific struggle, agriculture,
manufactures aud commerce progress
They are ruled by President, it is true,
not from some worn out royal or noble
blood. bnt from the people, and one whose
trulhfuness and spoIless honor have won
for him universal praise. The country SO
villifed, is now the refuge of thousands
who flee from poverty iu Europe, and when
slavery is destroyed and the war is over,
Europe and England may learn that au
instruct ted democracy is the surest founda.
tion of government, and that education
and freedom are the only sources of true
greatness aud true happiness among any
people. e.-Cia. Gaz. ll,l l ,.,.--.f

Tobacco and the Reform.

necessity Of reform in the department of
habit am disgusted with what see,

abomiuable narcotic, that stupefes the SEN

The habitual use of tobacco among the
young is fearful, especially in the city; and
the Infection is fast spreading through the
country, How ministers can be silent, and
witness this vice, is unaccountable, unless in
many instances their own hubits rise up to
command their silence.
There is yet much conscience, in the
church and out of it, on this subject. Ed.

with thousand tongues, it repeats the
truths here uttered. Our mission may

battle is not ours, but Gods and the
might will one day be with the right
Then will Philanthropy inscribe the name
of him who now battles for truth and
right.-R. H. C0nkfin.

Old Songs.
Br WILLIE GAYLORD CLARK.

Give me The songs loved TO hear,
In sweet and sunny days Of yore;
Which came in gusbes to my ear WV .
From lips that breathe them now no more
From lips, alasl on which The worm,
. In cold and dusky silence lies, ..
Where many loved lameBted form
Is hid from sorrows filling eyes
Ycsl when those forgotten lays
Come trembling with spirit voice, 4
1t reminds me Of those early days,
When TO respite was TO rejoice;
When glndson.e flowers and rruitage sbone
WLeIeer my willing footsteps fell; .-.a.
When Hopes bright realm was all mine own
And Fancy whispered "all is we'll"
Give me old songsl They stir my heart '
AS with some glorious trumpet. tone; b
Beyond the results Of modern art,
They rule its thrilling cords alone,
TIL on the wings of thought | fly
Back 10 that boundary of bliss,
Which once bcEeath my childbood's sky
Embraced o scene Of loyliness.
Thus, when the portals of mine car
Those loDg.remembered lays receive,
They seem like guests, whose voices cheer
Ny breast and bid it not TO grieve;
They ring in cadeDces OF love,
They tell of dreams now vanished ALL;
Dreams that descended from above
Visions, It's rapture to re:al!
Give mo old songsl know not why,
But every tore they breathe to me
Is fraught with pleasure pure and high,
With honest love or honest glee;
They move me, when by chance l hear
They rouse each slnmbering pulse anew;
Till every scene to memory dear
Is pictured brightly to my view.
