Concerning that 100000.

The Alta, speaking of Benefits gift
Of 100000 to help feed the starving
Irish, says
We have in this city men of wealth,
Of great wealth, Irishmen by birth, men
'of vastly greater wealth. than men vino

the starving poor of ireland, and better
able to give in this cause than is even
Mr.. Bennett, and have they given any
thing worth mentioning 1t is no time
when men, women and children are
dying of hunger, to talk about the mis-
takes of the Irish people, and tell how
they should have done and what they
should do. The cry is for b for
potatoes even. After you have fed the
the starving, talk and advise. But ad-
vice to the. starving will not save life,
nor make men wiser. z. g'n "
And now when Ireland is starving
and rich men in England, whose extor-
tionate. rents, together with the bad
crops, have turned portions, if not all Of
Ireland into scenes of sorrow, starva-
tion and death-the rich men of Eng!
land turn q deaf ear 20 the cry of the
starving, and shut their eyes to the
scenes of misery, which illustrate the
beauties of the British rule in that ISL
and, an American, not even descen-
dant of Irish ancestry, sets an example
of liberality and benevolence, Of gener-
osity and grand humanity, which ought
to shame the British public apd the
British Government into doing what
they should have done because Of the
merits of the case, because of the suffer
ings of the poverty-stricken people, BE.

The Old Mill Pond.

Who is there who has Dot in some re.
cess Of the memory a dear old haunt
like this, some such sleeping pond radl.
ant with reflections of the scenes of carly
life Thither in those Winter days we
came, our numbers swelled from right
and left with eager volunteers for the
game, till at last almost hundred strong
we rally on the smooth black Ice. The
opposing leaders choose their sides, and
with loud hurrahs we penetrate the
thickets at the waters edge, each TO cut
his special choice Of stick-that festive
cudgel, with curved and club-shaped end,
known to the boy as Skinny stick, "
but to the calm recollection of after life
principally as an instrument of torture,
Unfortunately promiscuous in its play
full moments. g..
How clearly and distinctly / recall
those toughening, rollicking sports Of
the old mill pond ! | see the two OPP
posing forces on the field of ice, the
wooden ball placed ready for the fray.
The starter lifts his stick. | hear q
whizzing sweep. Then comes that liq,
uid, twittering ditty of the hard wood
ball skimming over the ice, that quick
succession of bird-Hke notes, first dis
trt and clear, now fainter and more
blended, now fainter still, until at last
it melts into q luivering whistle, and
dies away midst the scraping sound Of
the close pursuing skates With a sharp
crack / see the ball returned singing
over the polished surface, and met half
way by TIE advance guard of the
leading side. Now comes the tug
of war. Strange fun What spectacle! !
The swould-be striker, with stick up
lifted, jammed in the centre of bois-
ferrous throng the hillsides echo with
ringing shouts, and an anxious circle,
with ready sticks, forms about the
swaying, gesticulating mob. Mean
while the ball is beating round beneath
their feet, their skates are clashing steel
on steel. L hear the shuffling kicks, the
battling strokes of clubs, the husky NUT
terings of passion half suppressed il hear
the painting breath and the impetuous
whisperings between the teeth, as they
push and wrestle and jam. A lucky hit
now sends tho ball o few feet from the.
fray. A ready hand improves the
chance but as he lifts his stick young
,ster's nose gets in the way and spoils his
stroke; he slips, and falls upon the ball;
another and another plunge Aeadlong
over him. 3 The crowd surround the
PROSTATE pile and punch among them
for the ball When found, the same ri
otous scene ensues another falls, and
all are trampled under foot by the en-.
thusiastic crowd. Ye gods will anyone
come out alive ? | hear the old famil-
lar sounds vibrating on the air whack
whack "Ouch !" "Get out of the way,
then !" "Now I've got it ~ "Shinny on
yer own side !" ard now heavy tlud !.
which means a sudden damper on some
ones wild enthusiasm. And SO it goes
on until the game is won The mob dis
perses, and the riotous spectacle gives
place to uproarious jolhty.-W. III. Glib.

ADown.Town rrerehant.

Having passed several s'eepless nights,
disturbed by the agonies and cries of a
suffering child, and becoming convinced
that Mrs. Winslow's Soothing Syrup was
just the article needed, procured a supply
for the child. On reaching home and &C.
quainting his wife with what he bad done,
she refused to have it administered to the
child, as she was strongly in favor of no.
meopathy. That night the child passed
in suffering and the parents without sleep.
Returning home the day following, the
father found the baby worse; and while
contemplating another sleepless night the
mother stepped from the room to attend to
some domestic duties, and left the father
with the child. During her absence he
administered portion Of the Soothing
Syrup to the baby, and said nothing. That
night all hands slept we'll, and the little
fellow swoke in the morning bright and
happy. The mother was delighted with
the sudden and wonderful change, az d,
although at first offended at the deception
practiced upon her, has continued to use
the Syrup, and suffering crying babies and
restless nights have disappeared. A single
trial of the Syrup never yet failed TO re-
lieve the baby, and overcome the preju-
dices Of the mother. Sold by all drug
gists. p cents bottle.
