A STRONG CHARAcTER.-Strength
of character consists of two things:
power Of will and power Of self.re.
strant. 1t requires two things,
therefore, for its existence: strong
feelings, and strong command over
them. Now it is here we make a
great mistake; we-mistake strong
feelings for strong character. A
man who bears all before him, be.
fore whose frown domestics tremble
and whose bursts of fury make the
children of the household quake;
because he has his will obeyed,
and his own way in all things, we
call him "strong man." The
truth is, that that he is the weak
man; 1T is his passions that are
strong; he mastered by them is
weak.
You must measure the strength
of a man by the power of feelings
he subdueS, not by the power of
those which subdue him. And
hence composure is very often the
highest result of strength. Did we
never see man receive flagrant
insult, and only grow little pale,
and then reply quietly3 That is a
man spiritually strong. Or did we
ever see a man in anguish stand as
if carved out of solid rock, master.
ing himself? Or one bearing hope
less daily trial remain silent, and
never tell the world what canker.
ed his hOme-peace? That is
strength. He, who, keenly sensi.
tive. with manly powers of indig-
nation in him, can be provoked,
and yet restrain himself, and for.
give-these are the strong men.

EXCITING OLD STORY.

4 believe, Captain said the doc
tor, 4 never told you my adventure
with woman at my boarding
house when was attending lee
tures.'
No; let's have it, replied a short
flabby, fat man, about fifty, with
nervous temperament and very
red face.
Il boarded at a house where there
were no females, except the land
lady and an old colored cook
The Captain, by way of request
ing him to go on, said-Wells
Il often felt the want of female
society to soften the severe labors
of deep study, dispel the ennui to
which l was a subject
'WellP
But as l feared that forming ac-
quaintance with ladies would in
terlere with my studies, avoided
them ALL
'WellP .r
'One evening after listening to a
long lecture on physical anatomy,
and after dissecting a large negro,
fatigued in body and mind, l went
to my lodgings
'Wellp
Il went to the hall, took large
lamp, and went directly to my
room, it being then after one o.
clock
Well?
4 placed tue light upon the ia
BILE and commenced undressing. l
had hardly got my coat off, when
my attention was attracted to
frocK and a quantity of petticoats
lying on a chair near the bed
well?
'And pair of beautiful small
shoes and stockings on the floor
Of course l thought it strange and
was about to retire-but then /
thought as it was my room, l had
at least right to know who was in
my bed
Exactly so,' said the Captain;
well!
so 1 took the light and went
softly to the bed, and with tremb-
ling hand drew aside the curtain.
Heavens, what a sight! A young
girl should say an angel-of
about eighteen, was in there
asleep
well! .. ...a .........
'As l gazed upon her, l thought
1 had never witnessed anything
more beautiful. From underneath
a little night cap, rivalling the
snow in whiteness, fell a stray ring
let over neck and shoulders of
alabaster.
well! said the excited captain.
Never did look upon a bust
mole perfectly formed. l took hold
of the coverlet and softly pulled it
down
'Wellp said the captain, make
haste.'
she had on a night dress button
ed up before; but softly l opened
the first two buttons
'Wellp said the captain crossing
his legs in great excitement, show
nowp
sAnd then, ye gods /! what a sight
to gaze upon! A Hebe! Pshaw,
words fail Just then
sWELLp shouted the captain, q
am in suspense
4 thought / was taxing mean
advantage of her, so I covered her
up, seized my coat and boots, and
went and slept in another roomP
IRIS A LlEp shouted the excited
captain, Jumping up and kicking
over his Chair, 'IT's A LIEe .s!y.

Sc Artemus Ward says in aHis
Book" ga female is one of the
greatest institutions of which the
land can boast. She is good in
sickness-good in wellness- good
all the time. o, womanl you are
an angel when you behave your
self, but when you take off your
apparel and metitorically speaking
get into pantaloons, and undertake
to play the man, you play the devil,
and are an emfatic noosance."

the right field. A fat man and his
dog sat in the shade of an oak en-
joying the game. The ball broke
one leg Of the dog and landed like
a runaway engine in the corporosi-
ty of the fat man. He was taken
home to die.
Then | went on a double quick
to the field, and tried to stop a hot
ball. 1t came toward me from the

Can we have an Independent Press ?

Our people are forever crying out against intoler-
ance and on close Investigation it will be seen that
there is no nation more intolerant than our own.
This intolerance, in its most malignant and hateful
form, is shown towards men of our own race who
have the hardihood to break away from the ma
iority, and to bring forward new and advanced
ideas for their general consideration. Victims our
selves o.the longest and BLACKLIST intolerance and
persecution in the worlds annals, the consistent
course should be the most unfettered berality to-
wards men who think fit to differ honestly from
in all movements looking towards the restoration of
our shattered nationality The contrary is the case,
however, and to-day there men so hated and
illuminated, by portion of our people, as the men
who have given their years and talents and youth
to the cause of their country. There are Irshmen
at home and abroad and their name islegon, who,
for some petty pers onal difficulties with prominent
men in our movement for Irish liberty, feel de-
moniaca delight in every reverse to our cause.
Indeed this is nothing new In our history. From the
days of ORourke to our own this blot on the race
hasnever been effaced-that OF men sacrificing their
country for personal malice. Let an officer OF the
organization have personal quarrel with member,
or uice yeso and ten to but the aggreved party
will from that moment become hostile to the whole
movement, to be revenged on his enemy. Pulling
down the temple to kill his enemy, even though his
whole race is crushed in that fall. All these things
are the fruits of slavery Our hereditary foe has
been sowing the seeds Of disunion, and distrust,
among for centuries using all means, spiritual
and temporal, to accomplish his purposes, and all
men attainable, native and foreign, to propagate his
doctrine.
How far the enemy has succeeded in subdung, by
cunning and fraud, the spirit which he could never
subdue by persecution and force those who have
worked in the Fenan organization, at home and
abroad, can testify. 1t is not too much to say that
Irish nationality corpse, shrouded and ready
for the grave which England has dug for her, when
theFenian organization called itbacktolfe again,
breathed the breath of hope into its darkened soul

StrattOn against McIannc


Mr.. CoYER:-In the Herald ofApril
23d notice q communication written
BY Michael McNamee, in which, une
der the name Of "Young Gentleman, .
| find myself pretty severely handled.
| shall endeavor, as briefly as posi-
bic, to reply TO few assertions in
his communication, which if you see
fit you may publish, as you have only
heard one side Of the story.
McNamee thinks it not necessary
for him, cor any oae else who went
voluntarily to serve his country du-
ring the late war" for the Union. 'to
either write or speak in defence Of his
loyalty )" but there are scores of men
that were drawer and better soldiers
than McNamee was capable Of beng:
men who volunteered for three years
when there were no inducements of
fered them and no draft to scare them
into the service of their country.
For instance, the last Democratic
candidate for Governor of this State,
III. G. Hobart, and numerous others
have they not written and spoken ''in
defence of their loyalty ?" and yet a
large majority failed to see it, because
they allowed their names used on
democratic tickets, and thereby allied
themselves with Copperheads and
enemies to the Government; all of
Which McNamee has done, but he
should by no means be called upon to
defend his loyalty" simply because
he chose at the eleventh hour, as the
draft came, to reluctantly step out,
accept his two hundred dollars boun>
ty aud don suit Of blue for one year,
rather than to stand (for the third
time) his changes in the draft or run
the risk Of reaching in safety that
long neglected uncle in Canada.
The town Of Mount Hope may wit
ness that the offices of Assessor and
Justice We're forced upon McNamee
last year, but [ seriously doubt if the
people of the town will witness any
such a thing. The "opposition" or
"union' ticket | knew nothing about
until election day, and then did not
intend to support it entire; but sup
pose the reason why McNamee thinks
the right spirit was not displayed By
the opposition party, as he terms
