As we to-day in the Church did meet,
We Marked oh many vacant seat
And sadly thought of the painful truth
That the companions of our youth
The pride of many parents heart,
Could thus with the scoffor bear part
nd letting the precious moments glide
80 thoughtlessly, thus remain outside.
We saw with pride that few there were
Whose brews were not marked by age or care,
Who waited to hear the word today
Nor did with the thOughtless members stay.
And we felt their lives would heightened be,
And happier far their eternity,
Than theirs, though the doors be open wide,
who still will choose to remain outside
But oh, young men, when your youth has He'd,
And its brigh tost hopes withered and dead,
When age has drawn its lines on your brow,
And your limbs no longer active as now:
VIII the thought of the hours now idled away
Brighten the hours of declining day
And will you recall with pleasant pride,
The hours when you chose 10 remain outsider
And when death has stilled your now beating heart
And from all you love on earth you mus part,
And you, at the Bar of the Just must appear,
To render account for the years spent here {:
And when you gaze the land OF blest,
And them enter in to the place Of rest,
And see the pearly gat as they open wider
Will you then be cont ont to rem-in outsidef

Speech Of Fensan Burke after his
Conviction for Treason.

By the last arrival of mails from Eng

speech of Fenian Burke, after his convic>
ton for high treason:

give utterance to one word against the YER.

lives, have pandsred to the appetite --ifI

pay the forfeit. Fully convinced and satis-
fed of the righteousness of my every act in
connection with the late revolutionary move,
ment in Ireland, | have done nothing that
would bring the blush Of shame to mantle
my brow. My conduct and career here and

an enemy to the power that holds my native

been admitted that the oppressed have the

even by English statesmen that deem it
unnecessary to advert 10 it here. Ireland's

DIRTY HYPoCRIsY.-The Washington
Chronicle publishes fearful account of the
suffering OF the Union prisoners in the south
during the war. We have a distinct recol-
lection that one of those prisoners, who went
through the perils of rAndersonville, was
nominated by the President for collector of
the port of Port Huron, and that his nomina-
ton was promptly rejected. His quahfca-
ton for the position was doubted by no one.
This fact gives a more substantial illustra-
ton of the sympathy which radicalism has
for the suferings of our soldiers in southern
prisons, than any mere newspaper lamenta-
lions can.-DetTeit Free Press.

political pardons was less than at any other

to suppose that the spirit of reconstruction has

The Pope's Daily Life.

Rome Correspondence of the Boston Saturday
Evening Gazette.
The Pope leads most regular life. He
gets up every morning at six o'clock, when
he celebrates mass; after Office he reads
his breviary, next hears mass celebrated
by one of his domestic chaplains, after which
he takes a light breakfast. Allthese duties
bring him to eight clock, when he goes in
to his study and grants audiences. The
number of people seeking audience is some
times very great, especially about the more
solemn festivals of the church, when throngs
are attracted to St. Peters from all parts of
the world. AT these seasons the pressure
upon nm Is so great that he is obliged to
receive hve or six hundred together. They

Pat and the Deacon.

A few months ago Deacon Ingalls,, of
Swampscot5 r. J., was travelling through
the western part of the state of New York,
he fell In with an Irishman, who had lately
arrived in this country, and who was in
search of a brother who had come before him
and settled IN some of the diggings in that
part of the country.
p Pat was strong man, a true Roman
catholic, and had never seen the interior of
a protestant church.
1t was pleasant Sunday morning that
Brother Ingalls, met Pat who inquired the
road to the nearest church.
Ingalls, was pious man. He told Pat he
was going to church and invited his newly
made friend to keep him company thither,
his destination being a small meeting house
near by. There was a great revival there at
| that time, and one of the deacons, who was
very small man in stature, invited Brother
Ingalls, to take seat in his pew. He &C.
cepted the invitation. followed by Pat, who
looked in vain to find the altar, etc. After
he was seated he turned around to Brother
Ingalls,, and in a whisper that could be
heard all around, he inquired:
''Sure, and isn't this hereto church p
"Hush!' said ingalls, eff you speak a
| word they will put you out"
"Divil word viii l spake at ALL" replied
Pat.
The meeting was opened by prayer by the
| pastor.
Pat was eying him very closely, when an
old gentleman who was standing in the pew
| directly in front of Pat, shouted.
Hist, We divil," rejoined he with his loud
whisper, which was heard by the minister
''be dacent, and don't make blockhead Of
| yourself"
The parson grew more fervent in his de
votions. Presently the deacon uttered an
inaudible groan.
"Hist, We BLACKBOARD; have ye no dacency
at all p said Pat at the same time giving
him punch in the ribs, which caused hin
to lose his equilibrium.
The minister stopped, and extending hi
hand in a supphant manner, said
Brethren, we cannot be disturbed in this
| way. Win some one put that man out?"
| Eyes, your riverince,' shouted Pat, g
will.'
And suiting the action to the word, h
collared the deacon, and, to the utter horro
of the pastor, Brother Ingalls,, and the who'll
congregation, he dragged him up the aisle
and with tremendous kick sent him int
the vestibule of the church.

The radicals are a singular breed Of h

The radicals are singular breed of hi
peds; they exist ON misrepresentation, and
when one whopper is used up they invent
another; it makes no difference if the last
contradiets and refutes the first, if it can be
made to answer for a time--this makes no
trouble in their minds. Thus in the north,
they have, ever since the war closed, endeav-
ored to SANDER the democratic party by as,
sorting on every occasion, in public and pr,
vate, that the democratic party were, through
the war, in full concert with the rebels, and
did all they could to aid them, Now, when
election comes On in the south, we find men
there on the stump denouncing the demo
Gratis of the north because they did not aid
the south in the war, or sympathize with
their effort to dissolve the Union.

The majority against P. T. Barnum, the

This verifes the witty remarks of the demo

mum had a museum in New York, he had no
sho1c in Connecticut" Two years ago the
district elected radical to congress BY las
majority. The change in public sentiment,
in that time, has been decidedly healthy.
