Said brothcr Jonathan to John, "You are the elder born ; Audi can bear. another's hate But not Your lightest Scorn. You've lived a life of 'noble strife, 'You've made a Werld: y'eur own, -Why, when. 1 follow inyour steps, ReoeiVe me with a groan' 'I lcd the prornptings of in youth, TEat urge me evermore: To spreado.nY ame, my race, my fame, . From Core to furthest shore, 1 feel the lightning's in my blood, The thulider's inmy hand, . And must work- my destiny, Whoever may Withstand "And if. you'd give me, brother John, (The SymPathy I crave, And. stretch -your warm frateritai hand. • Across the Atlantic way% I'd give it such a cordial grasp That earth shoull. start- to see,. An(1 ancient eros,viis and sceptr4s-slis,ke That fear bOtli you and. me." Said. brother John to Jonathan, "You do My nature wrong ; I never hated never seorned, - But loved. you well _mid long. If children of the self -same sires,.. We've (pimpled now and then; ' TWaS Only in onr early youth, And not since we were men, • "And if with cautions, cooler 'blood, Result of sufferings keen, I soiTietlineS-think you move too fast, • Mistake not; what 1 mean. . I've felt the follies of my youth, - The -errors of my prime And dreamed for you—my father's sorb— & future more sublime, 1 "And. here's my'hand—tis freely given -- I stretch it o'er the brine, And wish you, from my heart of hearts, A hirther life flan mine, 'rept* let us rule the world; Together let us thrive; For if you're only twenty7one. Pin Scarcely thirty-five. "And I have strength for nobler.work Than ere my hand has done.. And realms to r ule, and -truths to plant Beyond the rising sun. Taken you the West. and I the .East. We'll spread ourselves abroad, With trade, and spade, and wh olesome laws And faith M man and God. Take you the West, and I the East; We speak the self -same tongue That Milton wrote and Chatham spoke, That Burns and Shakespeare sung; And from our tongue, our hand, our heart Shall countless blessings flow, To light two darkened hemispheres Thot know not where they go. "Our Anglo-Saxon name and fame, Our Anglo-Saxon speech, Iteceive their mission straight frOm Heaven To civilise and teach. So here's my hand—I stretch it forth; Ye meaner lands, look on!. From this day forth there's friendship firm 'Twixt Jonathan and John !" # . They -shook their hands, this noble pair, And o'er the "electric chain" Cacee daily messages of peace And love betwixt the twain. When other nations, sore oppressed, Lie dark in sorrow's night, They look to Jonathan and John. And hope for coming light. _..• Gladstone on Irish Affairs -The inangural banquet Of the Lord Mayor of London took place at Guild- na,11 On the 9thl instant, Members of the Ministry; -Foreign Am baSsadors, and a large. and distinguished company were present. Mr. Gladstone replic-d to the toast of 'Her Majesty's_ Minis- ters' On rising he was loudly cheered He returned thanks- for the honor, a said the good feeling Of the citizens to- wards the Govermirent Wa8 an omen; and indicative of the. commcia senti- metals pervading -the land.' He 'con- tinued : 'Whatever the tendencies of modern civilization, whatever its tri- umphs' may be, I do not undervalue them. They have not had, nor . are tney likely to have in our day, or in our chiiidren's, the effect of lightening the responsibilitles Of the GoVeillrnent. ,As the standard of our ideas and wants 1811118M, so is raised and extended -the demands on those in office.' Iu is to endeavor to give such a shape t� legis- lation and peblic ;i s may cor reSpond to -that ele.vatcd standarcL lvery soeial exigency causes us to rely - more oil bhp indulgence of our count! y - Men, to give heart and er orgy to our efforts, and to pardon and l'QVgive our short -comings. It is satisfactory to know that throughput the country one sentiment prevails in respect to _the Queen, th e _ la-ws iici i t s of this coentiy. • 'ut do not let. us seek - fool's consolation in bending out sel Ves to that. Across the &amid see the ishind Icing united to us in politield land lecris1eti--0 bonds How thel'incl'o- lly in tile face of this. great assent 'Ay, to be compelled to confess that, that is- land, which Nvc.; have governed fer seV- enJuindred_ years, over which we have exercised almost unbounded- power, has not yet fulfilled the first conditions of .a civilized community—has not been - brought into hartcony with our lsws and institutions, It is, almoSt necess- ary to reinind you that we were called to Office in cennection with this impOr- tant crisis in the affairs of Ireland, a crisis in Whieh the mind of the country WaS more seriously addressed than for- merly, towards making endeavor3 to .put an encito what, has been a problem and speek on the fair fame of our coun- try for -so many geeeratiens. In Ire: land we see society socially diseased. We see.people of noble capaeity and quick srisceptibility, Whoze heart in many CaSeS aoes not beat with warm and Lvely attachment to her sister countries, and. who do not in all res- pects yield to the -authority of laws which we gladly recognize on this side of the channel. This year has been marked by the augmentation of agrar- ian Outrages from whieh this country is singulaety free. The. general tend- encies to crime there acquire paittful notoriety, and -Strike the hearts of Englishinen with deadly chill. As to the causes of these outrages it would probably be premature and- (alien) t now to- decide. To those connected with these outrages, I- would suggest that, it is not the way to obtain success in the Legislature. The committers of outrages are the enemies to the inter- ests of.the country. • We, -are glad to be eheered in oin own endeavbrs to give all Ireland the strength and unity which a considerable part of Ireland now enjoys. For that end we shall labor, encouraged- by . our generous countrymen. In regard' to our _ for- eign poticy it would be idle to say that thik department ot affdirs has small interest for England. Important in- terference; -I hope, we shall always avoid. A meddlesome and ambitious desire for influence we shah always forswear. But the sentiment _9f, true 'brotherhood for those Man tries. with which we ai'e united. by 80 many costly ties, every monarchy is bound to quit', vate, and sIrSuld. not • venture to re- nounce,--eHappily we are disconraged from prosecutioa quarrels with the - world in general, having none tosprose- cute But the friendly .assistaece of England, though not Obtruded, is ways ready wnen sought for, and has. had no small influence in allaying diet torltanceS and compromising differences which have,.and migh t *have a risen `in various parts of the world. His noble colleague, Lord 'Clarendon, since his return to the foreign ellice, had, re- ceived libe.ral and handsothe acknow- .3edgementS for h's contribn tioPs toward the accommdationi of such :differences. Onepartial exception 1 onglit to make, and it is an exception which is of the deepest interest .to Englishmen, namely, Our relations with . America. But there is no occasion'on which I conk] more appropriately refer to these rela- tions, or better describe the& than as those .of peace and .concord. Were to at empt to depart from that friendly strain I should be .admonished to judge more correctly, and to speak more wisely by the event whin has happened Within this city during tee last few days, 1 refer to the death of George Peabody, a mat whose splendid bene - factious will seCure immortality for his name in that which he regarded as his old mother country, but whose fame likewise, caid in a broader sense; is ap- IrOR COPY plicablei- to all humanity. He has taught the mosb needful lessons how man can be master of his fortune, and not its slave, and it is most touching to know tha 1 have learned from his friends that while, some men. would have been nilhappy at the idea of dying in a foreign land, his :affections were so divided between the laid of his birth and the land of his ancestors, that that which had:. been his fondest wish may now be realised, to be buried in Ameri- ca but the in England. With Pea - body's country We are not likely to quarreL Jt is true that care and skill in diplomacy, animated though it 1)as been by the purest and most np- right feelings, although it has not im- perilled onr peace, has failed Lolead to thc first issue up to the pr .(?xent moment upon the tangled questions or law which have been in discuson between the two coriptries.

Worna,n Marrying a Woman. An account of a very eKtraordinary marriugo conies to us frcm Chili. It is probably without a parallel in the annals of the law. --,Near Santiago, the capi al of Chili, are the baths of Colina. The people of fashion. crowd this watering place in the proper sea- son, to find rest and quiet there. Near. the oaths have beere.woht to meet a young man who otfeied for sale newly . laid eggs, awl many other articles, for whieh be found a demand among the fashionable society of the place.— There was one peculiarity c.bont this young which attracted the attention of the nteice. He always w' -re a• cloak. Whatever the. occasion the cloak was never removed. But that was all. Further io vestigation revealed nothing except that the youth WaS a handsome and indusrions young fellow, making an honest living oy ,-,selling eggs. Among the beautiful sencritas in the habit of•resorting to the baths was a dark haired young heiress from Santia- go. The engaging -demeanor of the . seller of eggs. and pet haps the air of tiiystery- about hips, attracted heratten- it was not long before a courtship had tion. This be quickly perceived; and resulted in the betrothal of the humble youth and the rich girl. They suc- ceeded in satisfying the parerits of the ung lady, and the mai riage took place. Only a few days paseed, when the city was scandalised by the report for divorce, brought by the wife. Site had mrrried m wometr. The youth wearing the cloak, and with the dress and manner of a- Than, was one of her own sex. A divorce was, of coerse, immediately granted, but a serious cinestion was presented to the court, as to the wife's property. it seems that the 80 called husband, whose object ,was to obtain -the property of her victim, had already made - purchases and contracts in her wife's 'Jame. Should these Le regarded as valid'? The husband certainly acted as the agent of the wife, and with the wife's consent. 'Still, though the pretended husband is subject to other punishment through her fraudulent assumption, it seems hard to compel the wife to ,ipplv her money to the -fulfillment of the contracts made under such cireurnstan- ces. The case is yet undecided. WHOLE NO 103 Eands and Feet. I went into a snop the other dfiv to buy what the drapya.s calf " genes Close.' A smiling young lady was behind the. counter, and when 1 made an appeal to her to show me s.ome socks, .i was somewhat , doubtful w:rat com.se of action I ought to pursue in order to demonstrate to her the length of my feet As I am not a burlesque write4, it was clear that I could not Lly tnv, boot on the counter ar.cl say "with all my sole ;" nor cohld I paraphnise Did - bin's Jack Tar, "when he spoke of the dancer who so dailitly handled her feet." The little woman however, speedily removed my first perplexity, though only to plunge me, into another. ." Will you please double up your fist and and lay it on the counter !" I replied that I did not want gloves but socks. "siAaicl.1 icI -want to take your measure," siae But,," I urged, "it is the measure of my foot that you require." - " Yes,' she replied, "And .1 can get it as Well foul Your hand. Once round your clenched fish at the knuckles is the-lengtb of your foot." And she took the measure of my at.,, and I took the -socks on the faith of the d a m se 1 's repi esen tatiork; and, in .due course, I found that it was quite right, and fitted me to a nicety.—Cur- iosities of Shopping. Webster and Fessendon. Some thirty-five years ago—perhaps mo-e—Daniel 'Wel)ster contemplated a journey to our Western States and territories, which he had never visited. The great statesman felt inclired to have some talented young man to ac- company him, and, in looking over New 'England for such a -companion, his attention -was ,attraeted to Fessene den, and he extended -to him an imi- tation to travel with him, which *as eagerly accepted. Many a, time, says the editat of the Portland Argus, Mr. Fessenden has spoken to us of the ad- vantages and impressions of hat trip. Mr. Webster treated him with great kindness, and gat e him much good mi.- -vice which lie trwasured up in his memory.. Webster -told bin) how hard °he had studied, and how careful be was in making out pipers when he commen- ced tne practice of law. Be said he never let a writ Or -other legal docn- nlent pass front his bands unti,1 he read it over three times at least. And he frirther remarked that while , many young men we; e idling away tlit;ir ti‘e be was trimming the midnight lamp. "Now,' said Webster, "1 have ac, quire() some fame As a lawyer and art orator, and have made speeches in which have occurred some figures aria illustrations often quoted and which haNte already passed into mottoes. And now do you suppose these teme sayings %Vete made from the stur of the mo- ment' By no means ; they were the result of previous stutly;----and close study too. Some of my oe,st illustra- tions of thought have been stndied and ttinimed down when the fishing -rod was in my hands. The words which so fitly represent El gland's power, 80 often -quoted, and so math praised, were stung together 'white I stood on the A merics.n side, of the Niagara Riv- er near the Fall, and beard tl,it British drum beaten on the Canada side." Many other statements he ma -de to young Fessenden which proved pretty . conclusively that there is ro royal roasi to learning. .0.
