Ireland is larger than Portugal, which
has been for ages an indepenent mon
archy. She is larger than Holland, Belgium
and Switzerland united. Her area is more
extensive than that Of Greece and Denmark
put together Ireland is larger than Naples
and Sicily larger than Bavaria and Saxony
She exceeds in extent Sardinia, Wartembufg
and the Grand Duehy Of Baden. In short,
fifteen European States are inferior to lrt-
land in extent Of territory, and there are
only six superior to her France, Briton, Aus
tria, Russia, Prussia and Spain, Thus all tie
elements of national freedom abound in Ire
land-elements which are well known TO
Englad according to Montesquieu; for they
have provoked the bitter Jealousy of that
country, and stimulated her to hate, en-
chain, and trampe on Ireland. Owing to
these advantages, England has been a sister
to Ireland in precisely the same sense in
which the sanguinary Cain was a brother to
innocent Abel.-Dublin People.

presses itself very bluntly. In noticing the
fact that since the conclusion of the war a
million and a quarter of men-hardy veter-
ans, all m-bClonging to both the NOrth!
ern and Southern armies, have returned to
their homes, that journal says: "At the tap
Of drum, or word from President John
son, more than half Of these trained soldiers
would be again'in arms to do his bidding
against any foreign Power. If England,
France and Spain arc wise, they will leave
this continent as soon as possible, for a con-

or Spain or England would be the signal f +

There was meeting Of the Ministers Of the
Baltimore Conference, NJ E. Church, held at
Staunton, Va, on the 3Oth ult.-those who
adhere to the platform Of priaci ples adopted at
session in Staunton, IN March, 1861 They
adopted a paper giving an account OF their posi-
ton and prospects during the past year. In
this they say:
ssWe still have the same powers and prlvl-
Leges as a Conference that we claimed 10 ou1
session in Staunton in 1861, and the obllga
ton to maintain our identity and extend our
usefulness In accordance with those principles,
there ayowed, is as binding now as then.
We look forward with great pleasure to the
next session of our Conference, as period when
brethren in the ministry and laity, long separa-
ted, shall meet together to unite their friendly
counsels for the general interest OF Methodlsm
throughout our bounds A cordial invitation
has beer forwarded to us from churches in
Baltimore, still adhering to us, to hold the
next session of our Conference in that city.
We hail this invitation with great delight, and
while we abate not cur high esteem OF the
church and people of Blacksburg, whose kind
invitation We accepted last March, yet IN view
OF many circumstances bearing especially upon
the interest of sur general work, 1t may be
deemed most proper by the Presiding Elders,
to whom the Conference accorded the power OF
change, to indicate Baltimore as the place tor
our next Conference session, and if SO due notice
will be given. In favor Of that change this
meeting would give its most earnest recon-.
smendation. It is our purpose, as preachers
and people, to be law abiding, submitting
to the powers that be, laboring to promote the
peace and prosperity of our land by striving
yet more for the spirit of Jesus, and the cul
tivation of love and good works, determined, as
preachers, to know nothing among men save
Jesus Christ and Him cruclfed.

FORMER HOME AND FAMILY OF

FORMER HOME AND FAMILY OF HENRY
CLAY.-A correspondent of the Cincinnati
Commercial tells melancholy story of Ash
land the late home of Henry Clay and
gives the history of his descendants. The
old homestead Of Henry Clay, it seems, is now
occupied by the family Of Hon. Thomas Clay,
one Of his sons, and present Minister to one Of
the South American Governments It is
owned by the heirs of Jas. B. Clay, who, it will
be remembered, died in Canada about year
ago. The house in which Mr. Clay lived
when at home was torn down some years since
by James, and magnificent structure erected
on it's site, and there is nothing now about the
place to remind one of him who once owned
and honoredit, except the family buggy in
which the old man and his wife used to drive
about, and the oak trees in front Of the house,
beneath which he used to sit and talk with his
family and friends.
Mr. Clay had five sons. -Four of them sur
vived him. One, who bore his fathers name,
was killed In the Mexican war. Thomas, as
have said, is now a Government Minister.
John is living on one half ofthe old homestead,
now divided into two farms. James died
fugitive in foreign land, and Theodore (the
Oldest of the family is, and has been fortwenty
years, an inmate of an insane asylum.

Oh, glorious langhtsrl Thou man-loving
mirit, that for time dost take the burden
from the weary back that dost hZ sa1ve -
the feet, bruised and cut b. tho hints and
sharvds; that takes blood baking melancholy
By the nose and makest il grim despite itself,
that al the sorrows Of the past, the doubts Of
the future, confoundest in the Joy Of the pre-
sent; that makes man truly philosophic, con-
queror Of himself md carel What was talked
Of Is the goldan chain Of Jove, was nothing
but succession Of laughs, chronomic
scale of merriment reaching from earth to
Olympus.
It IS not true that Prometheus stole the
FIRE, but the langhtsr Of the gods, to defy our
clay, and in the abundance Of our merriment
to make rs reasonable creatures. Have you
ever considered what man would be, destitute
of the ennobling faculty of laughter Laugh
ter is to the face Of man what synovia, ! think
anstomists call it, IL to his joints it oils, In
bricates and makes the human countenance
divine. Without it our hces would be ngid,
hyena- like; the iniquities of our heart, with
no sweet antidote to work upon them, would
have made the face of the best among US q
hcrrid, husky thing, with two sullen, hungry,
cruel lights at the top-for foreheads would
then have gone out of fashion-and cavern
GUS hole below the nose.
Think of . babe without laughter-as it is,
its first intelligence The creature shows the
divinity Of its origin and end by smiling upon
us. Yet smiles are its first talk with the
world, smiles the first answer that it under
stands. And then, as worldly wisdom comes
upon the little thing, it crows, it chuckles, it
grins and shakes in its nurses arms, or in
waggish humor playing bo-peep with the
breast, it reveals its high destiny declared to
him with ears to hear the heirloom OF its i'm
mortality.
Let materialists blaspheme as gingerly and
acutely as they will, they must find confusion
in laughter Man may take triumph, and
stand upon his broad grins, for he looks
around the world, and his innermost soul,
sweetly tickled with the knowledge, tells him
that he, Of all creatures, laughs. Imagine, If
you can, laughing fish. Let man, then,
send loud ha, through the universe, and be
reverently grateful for privilege.-Douglas
Jerrold.
