The Irish King's Ride.


We love Ireland and the Irsh-the land
of chivalric but unfortunate people; the
home Of romance aud song The echoing
voices Of her eloquent statesmen are yet
ringing on the air Of time, and the sweet
lays Of her poets are sung in the house
holds of nearly every land, We here pro-
duce q very sweet ballad, from the pen of
Miss Elizabeth Phillips, grand daughter Of
the eminent Irish orator, which we do not
remember to have ever met with before, ana
which we consider very bCautifu,:
Word was brought to the Irish King
That the love Of his heart lay suffering,
And pinned for the comfort his voice would
bring.
ooh ride as if you we're fying.)
Better he loved each golden curl
On the brow of that Hibernian girl,
Than his rich crown jewels Of ruby and
And his Rose Of the Isles is dying.
Thirty mobiles sadllcd with speed
Each one mounting gallant stced,
= Which he kept tor battle and days of need
(oh! ride rs ii you were hying)
Spurs were stuck III the fo2uing flank
WORKOUT chargers staggered and sank
Brides were slackencd and girths were
burst,
But ride as they would the King rode first
For his Rose of the isles lay dying.
His mobiles arc beaten me by one
They have tainted, and taltered, and home
ward gone
His fair little page now follows alone,
For strength and for courage trying.
The King look;l back at that faithful child
Wan was the face, that answering smiled
They pass d the draw-bridge with Gathering

There he dropped and only the King rode
it,
Where his Rose of the Isles lay dying
The King drew blast on lis buglc horn.
No answer came. but faint and tororn.
An echo return ID on the cold gray morn,
Like the breath Of spirit signing.

None welcomed the King from that weary

thought that the divers could tell more

The steamer Gleudy Burke, which .ank

quantity Of it at various times during low
water and had it stored in the cellar at
the breaking out OF the war of rebellion

Bullock, Of Massachusetts, to investigate
the condition Of the factories in that State.

The Dawn of Common Sense.

The Baltimore Sun. a newspaper which,
before the war, was almost a fanatic IN its
proslaveryism asallits callateral ideas were
inseperable from its pet theory, is begin
ming to learn something. On the subject of
white labor IN the South, it has the can
dor to speak III this wise: 1t has been ar
gued that negro labor in our Southern
States is essential to their prosperity, be-
cause the Southern climate is too hot for
white labor. Hith erto such an argument
could not be met very readily, because
experience could not furnish any COM
plete example to the contrary. Such an
example seems now to be furnished by
the British colony of Queensland, Aus
tralia, where cotton, rice and tobacco are
most successfully cultivated by whites in
land the southern boundry of which is
as near the equator as the southern prom
ontory of Florida. From the address of
Sir George Brown, the Governor of the
colony, on proroguing his Parliament last
September, it appears that since Decem-
Der, 1859, the European population of
Queensland has increased from 25 600 to
nearly 30, 0,000-nearly four fold-while its
imports and exports have been more than
trebled. Itwas long supposed in the col
ony that the European inhabitants could
not extend their labors successfully to
those portions of the country lying with
in the tropics, except in the case of some
table. land raised great height above the
sea. But the more temperate portions
having been taken up for pasture, neces-
sity led to the exploration and trial of
the warmer regions, and the result has
been the unexpected rise and pro-
gress of what is now considered the mod
ell colony of Queensland. In our own
country, also, it has since been proved
that white labor will do in a number of
cotton raising regions, and experiments
of that kind have already met with favor
able results. An arrangement has lately
been made for the cultivation of cotton
lands in South Carolina by Swedish labor
ers, and the plan of planting on shares
has been largely adopted in Tennessee,
Mississippi and Arkansas, and societies
are formed that furnish white laborers
for commission. The immediate effect
has been to advance the price of lands
which four months since were sold at for
ty dollars per acre in currency, up to six
ty dollars, with good demand.

Insane Asylum Outrage.

Another case Of coDiugal and insane
asylum oppression and outrage has lust
come to light in New York. A man OF
some standing in the community, an in
veterate politician, some twelve years
ago married an estimable young lady, the
daughter of a worthy old gentleman
worth some $4,000 or 100000. Her
father died leaving her his property, her
mother being dead. In order to get
hold of this, her husband procured a doc
tor and two policemen to make afida-
davits that she was demented and unfit
to take care of herself. The husband was
indeed, by his shameless proAigacies and
brutal oppression, fast driving her to
distraction. He tore her from her only
child and confined her in the Blooming
dale Asylum for two years. She escaped
six months ago, and with her son started
for her only relatives, in Toronto. She
was tracked thither, and fed to Buffalo,
thence to Cleveland, where she took SER
vice in: the family.of a physician. She
had been there four months, giving not
the slightest suspicion of insanity, when
in the absence of the physician she was
seized and carried back to Bloomingdale.
1t is expected that her friends will move
the matter to trial. She is a devout
Catholic, and by this means was in some
way discovered. 1t is said that there are
between thirty and forty women in the
Bloomingdale Asylum, who have been
placed there by relatives who want their
property. "All that is necessary to con-
fine a woman" says one of the New York
papers, sis the opinion in writing of a
physician, and we have men of that title
here, who for a small fee would give any
opinion, or practice any fraud or crime" J"

The Old ScOtchman.

l never drink cup of water without
thinking of an old Scotchman who when
l was boy in the city of New York, ac-
ted as porter in the Establishment in
which l was engaged. He must have
been very poor. For, then sIxty-6Ve or
seventy years of age, he was employed
day after day in dragging a little hand
cart, often laden with heavy burdens.
In our store was a stone jar, replenish-
ed daily with pure water and ice, and
many a time during the day the old man
would come to drink When he had
filed the cup, he would take of his worn
cap, and while his thin grey locks fell
over his forehead. lift up his face, with
closed eyes for a moment, with reVeren-
tial aspect and in silent prayer and, then
drink. Nomatter what the haste, or who
observed, he always did the same.
Since then it is twenty-five or thirty
years, have drank of the icy pools that
gather on the surface of the glaziers of
Switzerland, and amidst the burning
splendors of Vesuvius; in his own Scot
land, and on the stormy sea; but very
rarely or never without thinking of that
old Scotchman, or admonished by him.

Without doubt the old man has been

Gin God We Trusf.,,

The Nashville Press and Times, speak
ing of cotemporary in that city says:
the DfSpdteh pops a cork of small beer in
dignation at the head of Secretary Nc
Cullough for inscribing on our coins the
brief but pregnant legend, "In God We
Trust" Holding its left hand under the
swallow tail of its constitutional dignity,
and extending the white nosed wiper of
interogative pathos in its right, it ex-
claims:
"Who gave Secretary Mccullough the
right to intrude his theological creed up
on mis- fellow citizens? Who gave him
the right thus to claim for his faith the
sanction of the entire nation? The Con
stitution of the United States, our sacred
magma cLGrta, gives no such authority
whatever. Its assumption by men in
high Office is but another instance of the
lawlessness which has been the fountain
and origin of all our troubles"
The Dispatch evidently eutertains the
same opinion of the Divine Being that
Mrs. Quckily did, at the death bed of
Sir john Falstaf. Said she:
AFTER l saw him tumble with the
sheets, and play with flowers, and smile
upon his fingers ends, 1 knew there was
but one way; for his nose was sharp as a
pen, and "a bebled of green fields. How
now, Sir John ?quoth L: "God, God, God"
three or four times. Now l, to comfort
him, bid him "a should not think of God.
| hoped there was no need to trouble
himself with any such thoughts yet"
The Dispatch subseribes to the creed of
Dame Quickly, and thinks the less we
have to do with God the better. True it
adds by way of lame apology: "WeI
believe in God" just like Mrs. Parting
ton, when asked by an elder at a camp
meeting, what she thought of the Savior,
meekly replied, that "she did not have
any thing agin him."
The motto we think is an excellent
one for our national coin. 1t would have
been sadly out of place on Confederate
money, because that was beyond the
reach of redemption. We opine that the
very atheist will regard the new coin as
a legal tender, in spite of the superscrip-
ton. All nations, from time immemori-
al, have inscribed their coin with the ef-
figies of their benefactors, and what dec
laration more betting can this war de-
liVered land make in the day of her sal
vation, than is contained in the legend,
SIN God We Trust" 1t is said that the
smaller coins do not afford room for the
motto. Perhaps this is intended to sig
nifty that while we will mount upon the
wings of eagles" our religion is not of a
Oieayllns stamp.

When dost thou think of me? When evening
Her dewy mantle Ger the sleeping earth
When all is silent save the muffi ed tread
Of some lone watcher by the silent hearth
Where sorrow sits with bowed head apart,
Drinking the tears that that's wrung from a
wounded heart?
When dost thou think of me? When starry night
Strings with bright pearls the ambient brows OF
heaven,
And the full moon shines down her tender light
.er earth frail children. who by tempests driven,
With folded hands and patient hearts. await
Their summons TO the everlasting gates?
When dost thou think of me? When rosy morn
Steals with light footsteps up the eastern sky,
Flushing the zenith with his crimson horn,
Nodding to each pale star in passing by?
Then, dear one, dost silent pray er ascend
FOrOne who from her childhood called thee friend
When dost thou think of me? When music
blends
With the wild murmurs of the restless sea.
when all that's pure and beautiful but lend
Their sacred voices to proclaim of me?
Then, gentle one, where'er thy footsteps tend.
o! think of her who calls thee friend
When dOgt thou think of met When light
Steals Ger the senses. like dream of heaven?
When kindred spirits their strange watches keep,
And seal their pledges with a sweet baptism
Of sacrei melodies, that voice the air
Like the low murmuTs Of a child at prayerI
When dost thou think of me2 When cares op-
press,
And shadows gather DER thy oheekered way?
When the bowed soul bespeaks the wild unrest
That struggles for a CLEAN of coming dayY
Then, friend Of mine, whate'er thy sOrrOWs be,
o may my spirit known, thou lowest me.
