Louis Kossrrrp-Tun H,,No

Louis KossUTH-THE HUNaARIAN
PATRIOT. Our readers no doubt re-
member the career of this rerc carkable
man, who, as the champion of Hun
gary, stands high on the roll of
patriot martyrs. AS time rolls on,
how things do change! We see it
stated, that Kossuth and two of his
sons have been elected deputies to
the Hungarian Diet. Hungary will
not forget the man who added q brill
liant page to her history. and whose
greatness, honesty and patriotic fer
vor have attracted the admiration of
the world. Kossuth's dictum was
and is. we suppose. "Hnngary is {:
free and Independent country, sub
ject to no other" Now, that Kos
suth has re-entered the fields of
Hungarian politics, attention will
again be directed to the land of the
Magyars.

would commend him to ascend in his

purer and better than when he won

Sacrament ofthe Lords Supper. AS the churcn
