PROTESTANT MlssIoNs.-It is notorious
that Protestant Missionaries, BY their
miserable squabbles among themselves,
carry Generalization wherever they 60.

bodies" Originating few missions, they
enter into other mems laborx and reap

that paper, "conirmed in heathenism by
such behavior. They these bishopsI re-

In a recent letter to Cardinal Cullen
from Lille, in the north of France, ac-
knowledging some money from a Dublin
committee, we note the following passages,
which possess special interest. The
writer says:
The Irish here, as everywhere else, are
very generous in their contributions to-
wards the Church, and in aiding one anoth-
err, and in this parish Of St. Vencent de
Paul the Irish of Lille have left lasting
proof of their piety in the erection of an
altar, dedicated to st. Patrick, with a fine
statue of the saint, which altar is set apart
for the service of the Irish congregation.
The expenses were betrayed by the sub
scription of Irish Catholics, collected by
myself and others, and we had the pleasure
of adding to our subscription list the name
of our gallant country man, Marshal Nina
hon, Duke dc Magenta, who very kindly
contributed to it, May add that your
eminence has secured the prayers of the
faithful Irish here, who are ever grateful
for kindness done them and your very gen.
erous aid, given in such trying time, will
1 hope save many from being tempered
with 10y those who are always looking for
occasions like the present to try and per-
vert our people. We have had some in
stances of 1t here, but those to whom the
Offer was made answered that they would
| rather die with hunger than desert the
| faith of their fathers.

The Interior, a Presby paper of Chi
cago, has opened an advertising directory
for ministers and churches. One of the
entries read thus:
can active young minister, now with
out a charge, on account of the embarrass-
ment of the Board Of Home Missions,
wishes to secnre field at once. He is
thoroughly educated, u close student, and
an extempore speaker"
Both the case and it's cause awaken at
tention. Another case Of church is put
thus:
"The church at Amity, in one of the
most beautiful and fertile regions of South
ern Iowa, is in urgent need Of a pastor.
The church, organized a year ago, has
eighteen members. The United Presby-
terians, Congregationalists, Methodists,
Episcopalians and Wesleyan Methodists
have each an organization there"
One would hesitate at the "urgeucy" of
the needs of a church of eighteen mem
bers," in a village already supplied with
five other Protestant and evangelical
churches.

find the Irish case for Repeal of the Union
"The Rule of the Stranger" which ap-
peared in recent issue of the Cdstlebar
Telegraph. The hand of the stranger"
this writer truly says, "taints every thing
national it touches"
No country under O ruling power not its
own was ever known to have that enthusi-
astic energy-that bold confident, enterprising
spirit-that youngness of heart and vigor of
action which alone lead, in the case of nations
as of individuals, to success eminence ana
fortune. There will be, whereve: the ruling
power is fixed on q basis which it cannot
claim the natural confidence, q corresponding
despondency-a falling off from enterprises
decay of trade and commerce. The national
| character will be impaired-there will be care
tessness indifference to the real joys of life
and D recklessness as to providing for the
| future.
The sad case of the whole country is i'm
pressed upon the minds of local readers by
forcible reference to the dilapidation and
! decay which "the hand of the stranger
has brought upon the town of Castelar,:
To bring the case home to ourselves, we need
only poiut to the dismal state of our dilapi-
dated old town, in which even the police-the
tools of our masters-cannot procure a decent
| shelter for themselves and families. The COM
|
days, the crVmbiing Old walls with fear and
trembling, and curse-the fate that decreed an
absentee Legislature for our country, and All
absentee aristocracy to lord it over our chief
| towns.
The writer scouts Indignantly the delusive
notion that the loving kindness of England
and the gratitude of Ireland will ever unite
the isles in a steady amity:
The thing cannot be. There is nothing in
favor of such q supposition. Everything is tn
the letter against such contamination. Ire.
land has been 80 often deceived when she trust
ed, that she can never trust again. England
never smiled but to deceive-uever promised
but to betray-never made a league with Ire
land but to bi eak it.
The moral of the article includes the
practical creed of every true Irish national,
list. 1t is, that Ireland should have o Gov.
eminent of her own, "to make her owr
laws and to enforce them ;" and that tt
gain this happy end, the Irishmen wh'
would make their land nation shouIo
unite in action and in heart.
