hirelings of European monarchies and despot-

bodings Of certain sage augurs. wise in their
own conceit, who, regarding the failure Of the
Grecian and Roman republics as an infallible
precedent, have, during the past four years,
ominously predicted a sudden collapse of the
glorious republic Of the United States Of
America, and with it the extinction of re-
publican institutions throughout the world
despite this moral wet-blanketing, however,
the Union now stands before the world stronger
than ever, after the fiery ordeal of civil war.
The strength Of the republican form Of
government has been triumphantly demOn'
strated by the issue of the war just ended; and
the universal prevalence, ultimately, of this
form no longer remains matter of hope or
conjecture. Let Europe, therefore, take warn

Whatever may have actuatedi Maximilian-
whether soaring ambition for the imperial
purple, desire to oblige Napoleon ip return
for favos received, or anxiety to got away

! one thing is certain, viz that Max has made al

his benevolent and philanthropic, or rather
| philo-Mexican overtures, whether genuine or
bogus, to his new subjects all his insinuatng
efforts to pOpularize aud Mexicanize himself,
have proved futile. The people do not care to
give him his naturalization papers. They place

We have another cousin, northward, another
sickly child-Canada. Cases have come to the
knowledge Of the faculty, where strong, healthy
children have wasted away to almost skeletons
solely from sleeping with some decrepit old
nurse or grandm other. So ii is with Canada.
She is enervated and paralyzed by
close coatact with and dependence
upon that bleary, lettering old DAME
Britannia. Let Canada pillow her head
upon the bosom of her buxom cousin,
Columbia, who is the blooming mother Of a
large and healthy family. Some Of the children
have been naughty lately, and she has had to
whip them for trying TO get over the fence of
Uncle Sans farm, 30 she is rather busy just
now mending their torn clothes and healing
their bruises and scratches with salutary ap-
| plications of amnesty salve and RECONSTRUCT
ton lotion, as prescribed by the family physi-

unruly invalids are able to take care Of thenn-
selves again Mrs. Columbia will see what she
| can do for her Canadian cousin.
Colonies are like some hired assistants In
this respect: that If you don't watch them
mighty closely they get lazy and try to restrict
their labor to drawing their pay. Now, Spain

There is another expensive child which Uncle
