Curses, Like Chickens Come

rFrom the Boston Post,

When a wolf of flock is wounded the
rest of the pack turn upon him and devour
him. To the Radical wolves are now gnaw-
ing away ut poor Greeley's carcass but not
without receiving pretty strong klcks-and
deserved ones--from the beseiged animal.
Never was the despoic and lntolerant spirit
of Radicalism more conspicious than in its
ferocious attacks upon any Of the party
who dares to differ from the mass in opin-
ion or action. This is their protection
thi, their bve Of independence; and Mr..
Greeley himself has been as remorsely per-
secuted as any Of his fellows when the recu-
SAINT differed from him. Does he not re-
member how ardently he joined in the howl
at II. w. Beecher because he favored the
Philadelphia Convention, and how he de-
nounced as traitors, men unworthy Of con.
fidence, all Republicans who then conceded
with Mr.. Beecher, and even voted Mr..
RAYMOND out of the Republican Commit
tee, and took his ploce as chairman because
Mr.. Raymond went into Convention with
men who had been active rebels? And
now n. G.. shakes hands with the .chief

A Remarkable Surfing.

Near the centre of Marion county, in the
State of Florida, is wonderful fountain,
called Silver. Out OF the rift limestone
flows stream, forming a branch of the
winding Ocawaha, which is so large that
steamboat comes up to its source andlturns
about on the stream to go down the next
day, A correspondent of the Liberal Chris
ton, who has lately visited the place: des-
cribes it as literal fountain five hundred
feet in width and pouring out thirty million
Of gallons per day, enough to supply ten
cities like New York The glory Of this
spring is lis Transparency. Floating on its
surface you shudder to look over the edge
Of your boat. You seem suspended in mir
ar The bottom isnear' seventy feet below
you, but every shell, however minute, is
distinctly visible, Multitudes of large fish
glide about. seeming mlracolously upheld.
Occasionally huge alligator peers out, but
retreats from the light into wonderful
taDgle of water plants which fringe the
great BASIN Cliffs Of limestone rise from
the bottom almost to the surface. AT their
base huge riffs show where the vast and
unvarying food wells forth A delicate
pearIy white tinges every stone, shell, and
twig; while in deeper places, or before the
rising and declining sun, the most exquisite
tints of green and blue continually lurk and
shift and lade This place is the commsr-
cial outlet of a rich country, and northern
enterprise could easily make it delightful
winter-h home for northern invalds.

Food and Wages I'm Ireland. (.

The minimum Of food to support, lite is a
subject discussed abroad by political econo-
mists, who ask how much, Or rather how
little 'ood and money will support human
life. The Fen district laborcrs get from
six to fifteen pence pei day; they generally
sleep in barns, or under ricks and hedges,
have no lodging to pay for, and wear no
clothes ito speak of. y Respectable farm
laborers with families are presumed to be
we'll paid at from six to twenty shillings a
week for their labor In Ireland, the food
eaten by thousands of families is inferior to
the daily living of the same class OF people
in England. The published prison dietaries
of Ireland show that an Irish prisoner gets
but two meals day, breakfast at nine A.
NJ, and dinner at three p. NJ. For break,
fast he has eight ounces of lndian-meal and
oatmeal boiled in water, and half pint Of
milk; at dinner he gets fourteen ounces or
brown bread and pint Of milk. He then
fasts eighteen hours, till next morning 5
breakfast. The English prison dictaries
show better and more food. The low diet
in Ireland has continued since the famine
wear, and although since then the condition
of the country has changed for the better
and both food and labor are generally with
in the reach of the peasantry the low prison
diet still continues. E.yf

And hands so very fair.
With very tiny. tiny feet,
To dance so very light,
Then would come by m moonlight bright,
~ And dance till morning light.

As pearls within my hair .-r-
Then with the fairies would be,
Quite free from weary care.
I'd have a sweet meIodious voice.
To still the woods with song,
And then my fra grant breath would still,
The air with perfume strong.
The fairest flowers Of May would spring,
Upon my pathway bright,
Then would my heart be light again,
Light as the fairies night.
Who is it that could love me now,
So ugly and deformed,
But if ] were the fairies queen,
