:. Mr.. GLADSTONE, the great English
Parliamentarian and Statesman, and
one of the greatest of living orators,
has been travelling over the Continent
of Europe; and. a few days ago, paid
a visit to the Pope of Rome. This
visit seems to have been misconstrued
by some letter writer's. and, conse-
quently, Mr.. GLADSTONE published a
card, disavowing some of the state
ments made. In this card, he is guilty
of thefollowing burlesque imitation of
URIAH HEEP:
extremely regret that the kindness and
the extraordinary condescension of his
Holiness, which determined him to accord
the favor of an audience to a person so lit
tie worthy of It, should have been the &C.
easion of such narrative.
Now, we are at loss to know what
there is about the Pope of Rome, or
any other earthly pOtentate, 10 make
it an $ extraordinary condesceusion 2
on their part, to grant Mr. GLADSTONE
an audience. The DISTINGUISHED Eng
lishman has been guilty of contempti-
BILE tomfoolery in thus giving express
sion to words that he didn't mean.
His countrymen, certainly, will not
regard the matter in the light of "eon-
descension on the part of the Pope
especially at this juncture, when
he is looking to their nation to furnish
him place of refuge, now that Rome
promises no longer to be safe place
for his person. There was no occa-
sion for Mr.. GLADSTONE to be little
himself or the people he represents
by such gratuitous and fulsome lauda-
ton. As the head of a great eccle-
siastical body, the Pope is entitled to
respect, and as a Christian man, to
esteem and love, but we can not un-
derstand how or when it became an
act of condescension on his part to
admit to audience the distinguished
men of other countries. Christ, whose
vicegerent the Pope claims to be, was
not only in the habit of admitting
every body to audience with him, but
eat with publicans and sinners, and
we can no where learn that he regard
ed such transactions as acts of conde-
scension on His part Yet, Mr..
GLADSTONE seems to think the
servant is greater than his Lord.
Intelligent people in all parts of the
world will regard Mr.. GLADSTONE as
having written very foolish thing.

r HAVE TESTED THESE DROPS
- in my own practice, over ten years,
and do not hesitate to say that nothing
has been developed by medical research
that acts so powerfully, positively and
harmlessly, in cases OF female irregufarity,
as does this medicine. In all recent cases
it never fails, while thousands who have
been long sufferers are indebted TO ii for
the boon of health to-day.
Although so powerful and positive, they
are perfectly harmless, and may be used at
ali times, except when specially forbidden
in the instructions.
To all who suffer from any irreg larity,
painful, difficult, excessive, offensive, or
INSTRUCTED menstruation, Leucorrhoea, or
the train of diseases that follow, Isyyould
say, try a bottle of DR.. Lyons French
Periodical Drops. Being a fluid prepara-
ton. their action is more direct and posi-
tive than any pills or powders Explicit
directions, bearing my facsimile, accom-
pany each bottle.
They may be obtained OF nearly every
druggist in the country, or by inclosing
the price to G.. q. CLARK e. CO., New Ha-

THE annexed song, which is the production Of
John B. Casey, "The Galtee Boy" row an in
mate of an English dungeon, is immensely popu
lar hefe especially in the West, where it is often
made the 81 marching tune" of bodies ofmen ea
ger to emulate patriotic example Of the "men
of 49," It is sung to the air of the " Wearing OF
the Green" the chorus being given by the repeti-
ton of the two last lines as in Benny Havens:
"THE RISING OF THE MOON"
ooh! then, tell me, Shane O'Farrel, tell me
where you hurry so ("
" Hush, ma bouchal hush and isten"-and his
cheeks were all aglow-
" I bear orders from the Captain; get you ready
quick and soon;
"For the pixies must be together by the risin' of
the moon"
CHORUS.
By the rising of the moon; by the rising of the
moon;
For the pixies must be together by the risin' of
the moon.
Oh! then, tell me, Shane O'Farrell, where the
gatherin' is to be ~
I" In the ould spot by the river, right well known
One word more: for signal token, whistle up the
maTchin' tune,
With your pike upon your shoulder, by the risin'
Of the moon"
CHoRUs.-By the rising of the moon, etc.
Out from many a mud wall cabin eyes were
watching thro' that night;
Many manly heart was thrObbing for that bles-
sed warning light
Murmurs passed along the valley, like the ban
shee's lonely Groom,
And thousand pixies were flashing by the rising
of the moon.
CHoRUs.-By the rising of the moon, etc.
Down along yon singing river that dark mass of
men were seen;
High above their shining weapons floats their
own beloyed green.
&c Death to every foe and traitor forward strike
the marching tunel
And hurrah my boys, for freedom; it's the ris-
ing Of the moon"
CHoRUs.-'Tis the rising Of the moon, etc
Well they fought for poor old ireland and full
bitter was their fate;
Oh what glorious pride and sorrow 81 the name
Of " Ninety eight;
But, yet thank God there's beating hearts il
manhOOd's burning noon,
Who win follow in their footsteps by the rising
of the moon.

1 closing paragraphs Of this notice
''The army will unite with me in the
feeling of regret that the weight Of many
years and the effect of increasing infrm-
tiles, contracted and intensified in his
eountry's service, should justnow remove
from our head the great soldier of our
nation-the hero who, in his youth,
raised high the reputation of his country
in the fields of Canada, which he saneti-
fed with his blood; who in moro mature
years, proved to the world that Ameri-
can skill and valor could repeat, if not
eclipse, the exploits of Cortez in the land
of the Montezumas whose whole life
has been devoted to the service Of his
country; whose whole efforts have been
directed to uphold our honor at the
smallest sacrifice of life-a warrior who
scorned the selfish glories Of the battle
field, when his great qualities, as q states
man, could be employed more proftably
for his country; citizen who, in his de-
clining years, has given to the world
the most shining instance of loyalty
in disregarding all ties of birth, and
clinging to the cause of truth and honor
Such has been the career of Winfield
Scott, whom it has long been the delight
Of the nation to honor as man and
soldier.
While we regret his loss, there is
one thing we cannot regret-the bright
example he has left for our emulation :"
The Lieutenant General was a man,
regarded in phsique as in history, who
will have few competitors in any future
period. Nearly seven feet high, broad,
powerful, graceful, there was also
splendid dignity IN his address, quiet
ness and candor which bore out none of
the partisan jests of which he was often
made the theme. When General Grant
was presented to him, at the close Of the
war, the contrast in the two was very re-
markable. Grant did not reach to his
elders shoulder, and his small body was
very diminutive. He carried also the
nervousness generic with him; but Scott
was hQspitable, reserved, and none that
looked unon the two failed to give the
burden Of their love to the elder COM
mandcr. The great composed face Of
General Scott was. deeply netied his
large yet well-proportioned features we're
calm, and his gray eyes bore the softened
penetration Of an old age too ripe to be
either ardent or indignant 1t is well
that life so filed with martial deeds
should be finished at West Point, the
conservatory Of the military art in
America.
