Under this head Of one the New York
papers published the following. The Cork
Examiner, II we'll informed paper, publish.
es some rather startling news. 1t says:
" A rumor is being spread through various
parts Of the country that Ireland is On the
eve Of a revolution or rebellion. The
signal for the rising is to be the landing
in some of our bays or harbors of an
armament from America, provided with
an ample supply Of arms and other muni-
tions of war, for the use Of those who
yearn to throw of the yoke of the
Saxon II is also believed that there is
at this momen, existing in Ireland a secret
society, having its headquarters in Dublin,
and branches in Cork, Tralee and all the
other principle towns Of the Kingdom.-
This society, it is said is at this very mo-
mens actively engaged in organizing the
people and preparing them for the antic.
ipa,ed invasion, having them taught mill
tary drill whenever practicable. Thus
they will be fitted to avail themselves Of
the arms that shall be placed in their
hands by their friends. 1t is further
limited, in mysterious language, that GER.
tain persons, whose present position holds
them back, will assume leading parts in
the struggle, when once It has begun

From rounded hills and dimpling wales
Nights shadowy shrouds unfold,
And the lonely star Of morning pales,
And the mists are bathed in gold.
Soft zcphyrs are breathing from the west
Over the rippling corn,
And the ruby kiss Of the sun is prest
On the white brow of The morn.
The flowers shake off their dewy sleep,
And tho petaled eyes unclose
With innocent looks on the calm blue deep
That curtains their rcpose,
Prom nesting homes, all .eaf-embowered,
The birds pour matin songs,
And fields and river banks are showered
With new born insect throngs.
All things are glad at the weakening breath
That hearaldeth the day,
When sleep, so nearly akin to death,
Passeth upon its way.
The sweet foreshadowing Of that waking
When under heavenly skies.
While the morn of another life is breaking,
We shall open these darkenedeyes
