cried out, True, I'll go right home and reform my brother Bill! and if there be such a story, is not the advice of the eloquent gentleman flat plagiarism? Besides, George Thompson has come to his Cuba, come where his stars and stripes [The Union Jack] do not wave, and yet the Choates of the island do not seem to agree with their Boston relative, that this is his appropriate sphere! Ah, the evil is not that he takes sides; it is that he takes the wrong side! [Cheers.] How much better Father Mathew played his cards! Mr. Thompson comes here for the benefit of his health. In Italy invalids are always recommended to secure the southerly side of the house. Mistaken man! how wild in him, an invalid, to take so Northerly a view of this great question! [Cheers.] But for this, like the pliant Irishman, he might have moved in the best society! Could he but have chanced to be born in Ireland, and have early contracted the habit of kissing the Blarney stone of every nation, instead of

irty thousand could hear him; but we all kept as still and silent as if we did. With magnanimous frankness O'Connell once said, I never could have held those monster meetings without a crime, without disorder, tumult, or quarrel, except for Father Mathew's aid. Any man can build a furnace, and turn water into steam,--yes, if careless, make it rend his dwelling in pieces. Genius builds the locomotive, harnesses this terrible power in iron traces, holds it with master-hand in useful limits, ahether what he professes to believe is really true. Coleridge says, See how triumphant in debate and notion O'Connell is! Why? Because he asserts a broad principle, acts up to it, rests his body on it, and has faith in it. Coworker with Father Mathew; champion of the dissenters; advocating the substantial principles of the Charter, though not a Chartist; foe of the corn-laws; battling against slavery, whether in India or the Carolinas; the great democrat who in Europe seventy years ago ca

st tributes to his fidelity, particularly in the San Domingo controversy. He had gone so far as to justify a proceeding for the President's impeachment, and in his letters had given a harsher estimate of Grant's personal qualities than that which the senator gave in his speech. He now turned upon Sumner, and followed him in successive newspaper articles with the same bitterness which he had formerly shown in his newspaper against renowned patriots and philanthropists, Channing, Birney, Father Mathew, Louis Kossuth, and Frederick Douglass,—being by habit always more bitter towards those who believed in his aims but not in his methods. Though in recent years he had been lauding Sumner beyond any public man for his devotion to the Antislavery cause, he now presented him in an opposite light,—as tardy in its espousal; and this although the first paper for which Sumner subscribed was the Liberator, and the first time when he appeared in politics was at the age of thirty-four in an Antis

y, then,’ the faithless critic cries, With sneering lip, and wise world-knowing eyes, While fort to fort, and post to post, repeat The ceaseless challenge of the war-drum's beat, And round the green earth, to the church-bell's chime, The morning drum-roll of the camp keeps time, To dream of peace amidst a world in arms, Of swords to ploughshares changed by Scriptural charms, Of nations, drunken with the wine of blood, Staggering to take the Pledge of Brotherhood, Like tipplers answering Father Mathew's call; The sullen Spaniard, and the mad-cap Gaul, The bull-dog Briton, yielding but with life, The Yankee swaggering with his bowie-knife, The Russ, from banquets with the vulture shared, The blood still dripping from his amber beard, Quitting their mad Berserker dance to hear The dull, meek droning of a drab-coat seer; Leaving the sport of Presidents and Kings, Where men for dice each titled gambler flings, To meet alternate on the Seine and Thames, For tea and gossip, like old country

umnal hills, and the slumberous water, dreamtinted by the foliage of its shores, it seemed as if a shadow of shame and sorrow fell over the pleasant picture; and even the west wind which stirred the tree-tops above me had a mournful murmur, as if Nature felt the desecration of her sanctities and the discord of sin and folly which marred her sweet harmonies. God bless the temperance movement! And He will bless it; for it is His work. It is one of the great miracles of our times. Not Father Mathew in Ireland, nor Hawkins and his little band in Baltimore, but He whose care is over all the works of His hand, and who in His divine love and compassion turneth the hearts of men as the rivers of waters are turned, hath done it. To Him be all the glory., Charms and fairy faith. Up the airy mountain, Down the rushy glen, We dare n't go a-hunting For fear of little men.
