ENCorRAGEYoUR OwN.-It is the true in.

men of his own town. He who will not do
so maniests but little regard for the pros.
pprity of,he place where he lives. The man
who invariably makes his purchases abroad
should also look abroad for employment
In order to build up and add to the size and
prosperity of any place the citizens thereof

sions; the mechanic by the erection and
improvement of stores and dwellings, and
the laborer by the increased demand for his
services. If every one should go abroad to
make his purchases, trade ofall kinds would
become very dull at home, business would
langnish, men wonld have no work, the
grass would grow in our streets, and only
the rich would have any money in n very
short time to purchase anything either at
home or abroad.

Religion.

Religion gives life, strength, elevation
TO the mind, by connecting it with the
Infinite Mind by teaching it to regard
itself as the offspring and care Of the In
finite Father, who created it that he
might communicate to it Of his own spir.
it and projections, who framed it for truth
and virtue, who subjects it to sore trials
that by conflict and endurance it may
grow stsong, and who sent bis Son tC
purify it from sin, and clothe it with i'm
mortality. 1t is religion alone which
nourishes patient resolute hopes and eff
forts for our own souls. Without it. W.
can hardly escape self-contempt and the
contempt of our race.
Without God our existence has no sup
port our life no aim, our best labvrs no
cure and enduring results, our spiritual
weakness no power;to lean on, and our
noblest aspirations and desires no pledge
Of being realized in better state.
l am accustomed to speak of the great.
ness of human nature ; but it is great
only through it's parentage, because con.
nected With goodness and power from
which it is to be enriched forever; and
nothing but the consciousness of this
connection, can give that hope Of eleva.
ton, through alone the mind 10 to rise to
true strength and liberty. Charming.

brief interview with QUE Of our most lib.

at the same stand for ten years by one,
and nearly threo years by. another prede-
cessor. That these men gave diligent
attention to their business, wero sober
and frueal, but spent nothing for adver-
Using. They were just barely able to
exc out an existence. That he bought
out the concern ten years ago, and began
debtor for the whole establishment. He
felt poor and only expended $50 per an.

4 Irish Patriots Responl
his Death Sentence.

| We have by the last steamer from LiY
erpool the following extract from thS'
speech of the Fenian BURKE, after con.
viction, on receiving his sentence Of
death:
at is not my desire now, my Lords, to
give utterance to one word against the
verdict which has been pronounced upon
me, but, fully conscious of my honor as
a man never impugned, fully conscious
that can 20 into my grave with name
and character unsullied, I can only say
this, that these parties, actuated by Dc.
sire either for their nwnssaerandivamont,
Or to save their paltry, miserable liveu,
have pandered to the appetite, if I may
so speak, of justice, and my life shall be
the forfeit. Fully convinced and salts.
fed Of the righteousness Of my every act
in connection with the late revolutionary
movement in Ireland, l have nothing to
recall, nothing that would bring the blush
of shame to mantle my brow. My con
duct and career, here and in America, if
you like.as a soldier are before you and
even in this, in my hour of trial, ! feel
consciousness Of having lived al hon
est man and | will die. believing that
have given my life to give freedom sad
liberty to the land of my birth. I hove
done only that which every Irishnaa
and every man whose soul throbs with q
feeling of liberty, should do. I sock not
the death of martyr, but, if it is the
will Of the Almighty and Omnipotent
God that my devotion for the land of my
birth should be tested at the scaEold, l
am willing there to die, in defense of the
right of men to free themselves, to gain
the rights of an oppressed people, to
throw off the yoke Of thraldom. I am
an Irishman by birth, an American by
adoption, by nature ! lover Of freedom
and an enemy to any power that holds
my native land in the bonds Of tyranny.
1t has SO often been admitted that the cp.

of oppression, even by English states.

vert to the fact here. Ireland's chill.
dren are not, never were, and never will
be, willing OR submissive slaves, and 60
long as EngIaud's flag covers one inch Of
Irish soil, just SO long will they believe
it to be divine right to conspire and
devise means to hurl down its power aud

Of selfgoyernment."

An old preachcrin Western New York
who was being persuaded by some of his
churchmeu, during the political excite.
mept in that State, last fall, to join the
Radical party, said:
"No my brethren, I can't join that
party, becaus, all the Abolitionists in

my brethren, has done wonderful sight
of harm amoug the people. 1t has hurt
many shepherds and scattered many

Presbyterians and split them in two and
il got iuto the Government and broke
the old Union to pieces. And, my breth-
