The Irish Declaration of Inde.
pendence.

Cable dispatches recently contained the
synopsis of a proclamation issued by the
provisional government of Ireland, and
said TO have appeared in the English aud
Irish newspapers. We present the fol-
lowing complete copy of this document
"THE IRISH REPUBLIC!
"After seven centuries oc outrage and
misery unequalled IN the history of
humanity after having seen our laws, our
rights, our liberty trodden under foot by
the foreigner. our lands pass from the
Irish farmer to the Irish or foreign usur-
per, and the rightful owners of hundreds
of years supplanted by cattle destined to
supply the markets of England after
having seen our skilled workmen driven
into exile, our men of thought and action
to imprisonment and the sea fold having
no longer either lands to cultivate, laws
or acknowledged rights to invoke in a
word, having nothing pertaining to man
save the faculty of suffering or the deter
miuation to fight, we cheerfully choose
this last resort.
GAIL men have right to liberty and
happiness. Believing that there can be
no durable liberty or happiness except
upon the basis of free labor, and that
there can be no free labor when the
meaDs of labor is not free considering,
besides, the first means of labor is the
soil, and that the Irish soil, instead of
heiEg in the hands of the Irish working
men, is held by selfish and despotic
oligarchy, we declare it to be our deter
mination to rcposseSs ourselves of that
soil by force.
"Considering that all men are born
with equal natural rights, and that by
assoclatlng themselves together to protect
one another and share public burdens,
justice demands that such association
should rest upon an equitable basis-such
as maintains equality instead of destroy
ing tive declare that we aim at found
ing a republic upon universal suffrage,
securing to all the intrinsic value of their
labor.
ave declare that we wish absolute lib
erty OF conscience, and the complete sep
aration of Church and State.
,"The public expenses will be paid by
progressive capitation (labor being free
from any impost.l
"Calling upon God aud mankind to
witness The justice of our cause and the
intensity of our sufferings, we declare in
the face of the world, in order to succeed
IN reconqueriug the inalienable rights
that all men receive at their birth, We
take up arms to combat the dominant
oligarchy; and as its strength dwells in
its credit, based upon its property, we will
employ to destroy it every means that
science, or even despair, shall place with
in our reach. Wherever the English flag
waves over English property, it shall be
torn down, if it be possible, without fear
or truce and we swear in the sacred name
of our country, by the sufferings of those
who now endure the tortures of living
tombs for the cause, by the dear and
revered names Of those who have died for
the freedom of Ireland, by our honor and
that of our children, that this war shall
cease only when the Irish Republic shall
be- recognized, or when the last man of
our rass shall be in bis grave.

Horace Greeley ON Farming.

The New York Tribune thus discourses
in reply to letter asking practical advice
relative to farming:
"Y our chief danger is impatience. II
you or your wife would not get disgusted
with farming the first year, it is quite un /.
Likely that you ever will. Regin with
distinct understanding that you will not
make money at frst-that you will almost
certainly be poorer at the close of yout
tlrst years farming than when you began
1t. Your land will be in poor condition
you will have to do two days work for
fnturity to every one that tells directly
on the production Of this years crop.
You will suffer by drouth and food, heat
and frost, hail and insects; and will be
led to conclude that farming is hard
business. and its rewards very meager and
uncertain. But all these are passing
clouds, to dispel whioh you have but to
persevere.
"Resolve to grow what you need and
to consume your own products SO far az
may be. We don't object to give bushel
of good potatoes or barrel OF turnips for
pound OF middling tea but half dox-
en- such exchanges per anuum are deci-
"Be sure to average FIVE days per week
on your homestead There are farmers
who do not mean to be shifdess, and who
can do fair days work when they set
about it, yet who have so much business
that takes them off this way and that,
that they 90 not average three square
days work per week. Those farmers are
heading straight toward the poor-house.
Can you wonder that they deem farming
a beggarly pursuit?
"Don't fear that you will overstock tho
market. This city, like most American
cities, ought to consume treble the fruit
she does, and would # it were reasonably
cheap. Good grapes can be grown ct the
cost of wheat-say Eve cents per pound
yet they retail here at fifteen to thirty
cents per pound. At ten cents, the con.
sumption would probably double annually
for the next four years at least. Peaches
of late sell here at most exorbitant prices.
Berries, save when most plentiful, cosS
far more than they should. One hundred
thousand acres we'll set in fruit this year
would not begin to glut the markets oe
our great Atlantic cities. Bear in mind
that each child over seven years old can
help you if you grow fruit.
"For 81 1000, you can buy habitablo
cottage and five to twenty acres of warm,
mellow, tractable soil. A team and COW
will cost you $500 more; leaving you .
balance for implements, seeds, provisions.
&c. And, if you practice frugality and
live largely on your own products, that
will just do.
at you prefer to raise grain and grow
stock, you will naturally go West, where
land is cheap and grass abundant You
may there buy 160 acres of land for
81, l,0c0 or !ess in many civilized localities,
and will be apt to do it, though it is mora
than-you really need. But we may take
another opportunity to speak of farming
in the West, where success is not more
decided, but where failure is more difk-
cult than In older communities"

A CURIOUS HISTORICAL FACT.
4 Sea which Dried Up and Reappeared
after Lapse of 200 Years.

A curious question was discussed at
recent meeting of the British Royal
Geographical society. Sir Henry Raw
linson expressed the opinion that the
sea of Aral-a- body of water having an
area of $4,000 square miles, or three
times the size of Massachusetts-had
no existence in the period between 600
years before Christ and 600 years after,
and the rivers Oxus and JaXaries, now
flowing into it, both flowed into the
Caspian seas. He said: "The sea first
comes into notice in the seventh centu-
ry, and those two rivers are spoken of
for several hundred years as emptying
| into it.-Another change seems to have
occurred between 1900 and 1900, and the
rivers again flowed into the Caspian
sea; but since the late date they slowly
changed their channels until they
found an outlet in the sea of Aral."
This theory was cOmbated by Sir Rod
erick Murchison, the geolOgist, who af-
firmed that the mereabsence of alluSion
to the sea of Aral was no proof of its
non-existence, and cited the geological
evidence that whatever changes the
sea had undergone must have occurred
long before the birth of history or ira
dition. Sir Henry Rawlinson, in re-
! ply, said that evidence exists in the
writing of the 14th and 18th centuries
that highway of travel from Europe
to Asia passed directly over the region
now covered by the waters ofthe Aral.
His opponent admitted that such evil
dence would be conclusive. Here the
debate ended, with the understanding
that Sir Henry is to collect and publish
| the proofs of his assertion.

TEACH THE WOMEN TO SAVE
There's the secret! A saving woman
at the head of a family is the very best
saving bank yet estabished-one who
receives deposits daily and hourly with
10 costly machinery to manageit. The
idea Of saving is pleasant one, and
if the women would imbibe it at once,
they would cultivate and adhere to it,
and thus when they were not aware
of it, would be laying the foundation
of competent security in a stormy
time, and shelter in rainy day. The
woman who sees to her own house, has
a large field to save in. The best way
to make her comprehend it is to keep
an account of all current expenses
Probably not one woman in ten has an
idea of how much are the expenditures
of herself and family. Where from one
to two thousand dollars are expended
annually, there is chance to save
something if the effort is only made.
Let he housewife take the idea, act up
on it, and she will save many dollars,
perhaps hundreds, where before she
thought it impossible.

ALWAYS BEAUTIFUL.-At festival
party of old and young, the question
was asked, which season of life is the
most happy? After being freely dis
cussed by the guests, it was referred for
answer to the host, upon whom was
the burden of four score years. He
asked if they had noticed grove of
trees before the dwelling, and said:-
When the spring comes and in the soft
air the buds are breaking on the trees
and they are covered with blossoms, /
think, how beautiful is spring! And
when the summer comes, and covers
the trees with its foliage, and singing
birds are all among the branches, [
think, how beautiful is summer! When
autumn loads them with golden fruit,
and their leaves bear the gorgeous tint
of frost, think, how beautiful is au-
tumn! And when it is sere winter,
and there is neither foliage Lor fruit, 1
look up, and through the leafless branch
es As | never could until now, l see
the stars shine through.

MAKE YOUR OWN PLEASURE.

There was large and pleasant nurse
ry, fitted up with everything likely
to make little boy or girl happy.
On one side were shelves stored with
books of such various kinds that they
would suit every humor you might hap
pen to be in 4; stories and tales, histories
and travels, books for Sunday and
books for Monday. Underneath, on a
large table was pile of picture books ;
and oreattractive still, three beautiful
ships, with sails, and rigging, and lit
tie cannon all complete, as if they were
real vessels, and so constructed that you
could take them for make-believe all
along the passage, when you could not
put them on the pond out of doors. On
the other side of the room was rocking
horse, and in the middle were two ropes,
fastened by hooks to the ceiling, by
means Of which you might swing, or
twist yourself about into some of the
strange attitudes which little children
delight in.
But the owner of these pleasant
things did not seem any the better for
them; on the contrary, he was standing
at the window, pressing his nose a
gainst the pane as if he was not think
ing about them at all. A long yaWn
made nurse look up from her work.
"Why don't you get something to do,
Master Henry?" she asked.
81 can't" replied the child, ''for there
is nothing for me to do"
"Well, did l ever hear the like of
that?" cried Nurse. "Why there's
the swing, and the roclling-horse, be-
sides heaps of puzzles in the cupboard" "
81 don't want theIn," said Master
Henry: "I'm tired of themall, | want
to go'out."
every likely, sir, in this drizzling
rain: spoil your clothes, and catch your
death of cold into the bargain. Other
young gentlemen would be sati SIZED
at home with all these playthings."
81 don't care about other young gen.
tlemen; know can never do any
ching | want to do"
"Oh, Master Henry, for shame; when
there's everything got for you, and ev-
erything done for you, and you ought
to be the happiest little boy alive"
We do not wonder that Nurse should
Ge shocked, but she was wrong there,
for there was no ought in the case. No
body ever is or can be happy, although
ne may have everything to make him
so, unless his own mind is in a state to
be pleased and to be happy. Henry
was spoiled child-his mind in cOnse-
uuence was restless and diScontented;
and when we have those feelings aoithal
Us, they put everything wrong outside
us. 1t is quite impossible, then, for
outward circumstances to please US
it is like having a mist before our eyes,
so that we cannot see the sunshine and
the pleasant things of life.
Just outside of the garden wall of the
house where Henry lived, a different
scene was going on. Some large trees
had been cut down, and were lying by
the roadside; some carpenters had left
plank there too, and Tim and Bob,
the gardeners boys, came home from
the village school the prospect it held
! out of see-saw was much too inviting
The Bedford gazette. [volume] (Bedford, Pa.) 1805-current, 1867-11-08

to be resisted. So the plank was hois-
ted over cne ofthe etrunksandinam aminute
the two boys were going up and down
to their hearts content.
81 say, Tim, isn't it famous ~
"Gloriousu' shouted Tim, in reply,
as his turn came to go up; and their
sister, who had come out of the cottage
to look on, clapped her hands in COM
pany. True, it looked as if it would
rain, but the prospect oft did not spoil
their fun bit.
Yet these children were very poor,
their clothes were coarse and thread
bare, and they did not always get quite
enough to eat; how was it they could
be so happy?
l will tell you. 1t is because they
had contented spirits, and because they
were making their olUn pleasures. Chill
dren who contrive their own plays are
generally happier than those who
have everything ready made to their
hands; because-and it is the same
with men and women tOO-what we
find out for ourselves gives us more
pleasure than what is done for us by
others.
Have you not often noticed how
some people go about getting some
thing pleasant outof everything; while
others, do what we will for them, new
er seem satisfied? There is no doubt
that God gives this happy disposition
to some more than others naturally,
but all may attain to some degree of it
by trying, and with His gracious help.
1t is often very hard work for grown
up people to learn it, but to you it
is easy; and the habbit once gained,
you will find life all the brighter for be-
ing able to turn small things to account,
and make, as it were, sunshine for your
self.
Our blessed Saviour says, GA mans
life consisteth not in the abundance
of the things which he posesseth;" and
one meaning of the words is, that great
possessions can never of themselves give
happiness. Our real, true life we carry
with us in our own hearts. We must
have peace there, peace with God,
peace with ourselves-thisi is life. Then
if we have outward blessings we shall
enjoy them indeed but if not, God can
and will make little enough for our
happiness.
