the house be a neat a new pin, and the
home be happy as home can be; and then
when the cannon balls, and the marbles

are all in the box, even there will be room
for those little deeds of love and faith
which in my Masters name | seek of YOU

ssThe Truth Will OUT,

Occasionally, when exhausted by the end
less exertion Of our bodily and mental facul-
ties in getting up the HERALD, we stroll off in
to the country to see how things are getting
along In our perambulations we notice the
growing crops, the improvements going on, the
different modes of cultivation adopted by our
farmers, &c. During one of these excursions
we noticed a field of wheat, one half of which
presented a more thriving appearance than the
others and wondered what could have made
the difference. Upon enquiry, we ascertained
that our friend had been making an 'sexperi-
ment'' with GILL & Cos. Phosphate of Lime
The mystery was at once solved. Need we

Monday evening last, the former place by

sAin the contest between the radical and

ably discussed, and many weighty reasons Civ

every device to deter the people from register
ing, by holding up before them the bugbear of
perjury, in, consequence Of the provision of the
Alexandria Constitution DISTINGUISHING every
