Turn which way she may, England's sit
uation is critical. France under Napoleon
Bonaparte was not more so. England and
Italy have great war in Egypt France
has q war in China, and should Germany
and England become embroiled, Russia
will no doubt enter the ring. 1t is proba-
bic, however. that Bismarck will pool
issues with England. The questions in
volved in this foreign muddle, which seem
to require the arbitrament of the sword,
constantly increase rather than diminish.
Englsnd's consuming desire to advance
civilization, for revenue only, into the
semi-barbaric nations of the East has
turned multiplicity of serious questions
to the surface, and they do so perplex Her
Majesty's representative military and ad-
ministrative ability that the result is an
ticipated with no little anxiety. One
thing is likely. however, that England
will make some show Of justice toward
Ireland, to win an approving smile from
America.

mitted to hear our old friend, Isaac Miller,
recite the following poem, which he had re-

OF all pursuits by men invented,
The farmer is the best contented,
His profits good his calling high,
And on his labors all rely.
Mechanics all by him are fed;
OF him the merchant seeks his bread.
We then, by vste, may justly state
The plow-man ranks among the great.
More independent than them all
That dwell upon this earthly ball,
All hail ye farmers, young and old
Push on your plow with courage bold.
Your wealth arises from your clod;
Your Independence comes from Ged.
II then the plov supports the nation,
And men Of rank OF every station,
Let Kings to farmers maze q bow,
And all who can go get plow.
