A Quotation.

There lies upon the other side Of The
wide Atlantic q beautiful island ia
nous in story and in song. 1t has
been prolific in statesman, warriors
and poets. 1t has given to the world
more than its share Of genius and of
greatness. It's brave and generous
sons have fought successfully in all
battles but its own. In wit and hu-
NOR 1t has no equal ; while its harp,
like its history, moves to tears by its
sweet but melancholy pathos. In
this fair region God has seen fit to
send tho most terrible of all those
fearful ministers who fulfil. His ms
crutnblc DEGREES. The earth has fail
ed to give her increase the common
mother has forgotten her offspring
and her breast no longer onords their
accustomed nourislmcnt. Famine,

nation with its strangling grasp, and
unhappy Ireland in the sad woes OF
the present, forgcts, for a moment
