AIR .1 - RENEMBEIL7D IN ERIN I
The following simple and patriotic lines were
found, hastily and almost illegibly scrawled in
pencil, t a sheet of paper, folded in a book in
the libr*y of the late Her. T. D. McGee. As
they posiess an interest in being a hitherto un
published production of the martyr statesman,
and a - they irrnish after death a contradiction
of the slander that he was untrue to Ireland,
we deem it well to publish them.—Nontreal Ga
zetZe.
'Am I remembered in Erin ?
Oh ! tell me, tell me true ; •
Has my name a sound, a meaning
In the place my boyhood knew ? •
Does the heart of the glorious island
Ever throb at my humble name ?
Oh ! to be but loved in Erin
To me were more than fame !
Come weal, come wee, deer Eriu,
As death and sorrow came
When I followed my little darlings
To the place i cannot name ;
Whether the storm or sunshine waits me,
In the days that none can see.
1 consecrate, dear .Er . in,
Meheart and brain to thee !
Oh ! Erin, mather Erin,
Many song thine eye Lath seen,
Many life-devoted lovers,
Since thy mantle first was green—
Then how can I dare to cherish
Tho hope that one like me
May be enrolled hereafter
With that palm-colored company ?
Yet faint, and fair, my Erin '!
As the hope shimes on my eight,
I cannot choose but watch it
Till my eyes have lost their light,
For never among her noblest,
Nor-among her martyrs blest
Was there heart more true to Erin
Tapia beats within his bieast.
A DRAMA FOR TO-DAY.
The ready writer who transmogrified
Offenbach's latest smuttiness into English,
- Fa the ingenuity to introduce into the
libretto two or three of our most celebrated
vendors of patent medicines by name thus :
"By its virtues without par, S. T. 1860's
beat," &c., &c., &c. Boldness like this is
encouraging to the critic, and no doubt
was found by the audience quite as pleas
ing as the bitters themselves. This kind
f cotemporaneous freshness is precisely
what our languishing comedy stafgers in
need of; and we recommend the minstrel
immediately to try his hand at other popu
lar medicaments, and to gather Dints gen
erally from all the placards which are affix
ed to the fences and dead walls. If our
Mr. Crummleses did but dream never so
faintly of their own best policy, they would
offer enormous rewards for any play pos
sessing a shadow of local and living in
terest. Suppose that we had, for instance,
an Aristophanes at this moment, or even
a Foote—what inexpressibly droll farces
might be manufactured out of the material
furnished by the rise and fall, the swell
and the collapse, the elevated spirits and
the depressed spirits, the fond anticipations
and the dismal disappointments, the ground
and lofty tumbling of "the Democracy"
during the late campaign 1 If Socrates
was put upon the stage, in spite of his
acknowledged wisdom, why should not
Mr. Blair be made a character of, in spite
of his acknowledged folly ? In a very. old
plan Alexander the Great cuts a fine figure
overtli s e flowing bowl, and there is some
pretty tall drinking in the last scene of
"Hamlet." Then, too, why should we not
have a "Bobadil" at the theatre, a "Demo
( atic Bobadil," a Bobadil of JVorld-wide
eputation, putting to flight whole armies
upon arithmetical principles? We enjoy
"Polonius" very much upon the stage—his
doting, his pothering, his prosing, and the
cunnhig which he takes for statesmanship;
but have we not bad a "Polonius" in 1868,
professing and protesting, and making nu
merous speeches with frequent shakes of
the head, many interposing nods, and all
the other sure indications of uncommon
wisdom? If you want mere farce, pray
what were the proceedings of the "Demo
cratic" National Convention but a farce
from beginning to end? We have seen
more than .one campaign, but never one
before in which the antics of our antagon
ists were so amazingly amusing. If you
want pastoral opera, is there not Mr. Sey
mour, an acknowledged swain, a gentle
man farmer capable of lecturing upon
draining and planting, and plowing, and
grafting, and mowing, and sub-soiling,
and manuring, and spading, and raking,
and the rotation of crops? What could be
prettier than a cottage scene with the
patriarch sitting at his door and whistling
to his cows—sitting there like a veritable

When we can have scenes like• these for
the modern drama, it seems to us absurd
to go back to the middle ages for plots and
characters. What a choice subject, for irv.
stance, would be Messrs. Johnson and
Welles's visit to the pretty rope dancer.
Especially as rope-dancing belongs legiti
mately to the dramatic literature of the
present period ! What an excitement it
would cause in the parquet to see tne Pre
sident of the United States kissing the
blushing maid, and to hear him half whis
pering in her ear, "You must not veto
this, my love !" while that noble mariner,
Mr. Welles, cries In the trite spirit of thea
trical navigation, "Shiver my timbers ! Did
yon ever see a tighter craft than that!
Just twig the beauty of her lower spars !"
&e. A play with this in it would
shelve "Black Eyed Susan" even in those
theatres were mariners most do congregate.
These gratuitous hints we throw out to
the manufacturers of plays with.the utmost
good will. We are satisfied that a great
deal could be done with the late "Demo
cratic" candidate for the Presidency; that
he might be blown up or assassinated;
that he might be represented as first lead
ing his regiment to battle with a slow march
playing, and then as leading them from
battle with the drums rapidly rolling out
the double-quick. Ige is a little too heavy,
we-fear for the ballet ; but in this depart
ment, Mr. Blair, with his facility for chang
ing partners, and crossing over and, jump
ing from side to side, would supply every
deficiency. • Let us hope that our sug
gestions will be favorably received. We
want a new play to take the Offenbach
taste out of our • mouths. Where is Mr.

"To the best of my knowledge and be-

the great powers have just advanced an

I was born in the 'National Era.' So I

officer,who to his infinite regret, was not
killed in the late unpleasantness, and am a
lineal descendant of that Simple Simon,
who once went a fishing for to catch a

was in his mother's pail. If I am not
Launcelot, nor another, but only my own

without mother, without descent, and my
enemies fear, also, I have no end of life.
On one point commentators are agreed,—
that I am not an 'Eminent Woman' of my

In fact I am

at sundry times, and in divers other man

to the deterioration of our youth. I sadly
confess, also, that I am guilty of as many

An article in the Honesdale Republic,
written by F. P. Penman, esq., gives so
clear an account of the history and piesent
bearing of this subject, that we reproduce
it in full.
In 1682 William Penn promulgated
"The Frame of Government" of Pennsyl
vania, under authority of the charter grant
ed him by King Charles 11. In this docu
ment the right of suffrage is given, with
out restriction, to "the freemen of said pro
'dude."
In 1701 Penn granted what is known as
the "Charter of Privileges." By this in
strument the right of suffrage was broadly
given to "the freemen of each respactive
county."
The first constitution of Pennsylvania
was adopted in 1770. The convention that
framed this instrument was presided over
by Benjamin Franklin. It gave the right
of suffrage to "every freemen of the full age
of 21 years. The inen of the Revolution,
while asserting their own rights and liber
ties against proscription, were careful to
stand fast by the cardinal idea of the polit
ical equality of all men.
In 1790 a new constitution was framed
Thomas Mithin presided over the conven
tion that made it. This instrument gave
the right to vote to "every freemen over
the age of 21 years."
In 1839 the constitutton was revised.
John Sargennt presided over the convention
The basis of suffrage was changed, so as to
include only "every white freeman of the
age of 21 years."
For one hundred and fifty-six years black
men, if black they were, voted in Pennsyl
vania on precisely the same conditions as
white men. None of the evils now predic
ted of black suffrage were experienced.
Neither the mental or social equality of the
two races was thereby established. Amal
gamation, either through matrimony or
without, was encouraged° Not a black
man was made Governor of Legislature.
Social order was not subverted. The Gov
ernment was not made by white men, for
white men, but by all men, for the benefit
of all.
SINGULAR CUSTOMS IN. NORMANDY.
A wedding dinner in Nomandy is a se
rious affair to undertake, and demands both
time and patience on the part of a novice
As for the habitues, they seem to enjoy it
very highly. The company sat down to
eat at noon, and when we left at noon the
next day they had not yet left the table, but
proposed staying another twenty-four hours.
iness among the conviver, there was no
Although there was occasionally some sleep
lack of gaiety. Roguish old uncles retailed
all the old staple wedding jokes, more or
less indecent, which were laughed at as
heartily as if they have never been heard of
before, and teasing old • aunts and grand
dames told or hinted all the old scandal that
might hetor or bring the blush to the faces
of any of the young fellows present.
Incessantly and unfailing bottles passed
round from hand to hand, the glasses clicked
together, and the health of everybody was
toasted over and over again. During the
festivities it is the duty of the groomsman
to sit by the bride and see that she is served
with every thing on the table ; also, he must
watch, or at the moment his eyes are turned
away, or when he has left her place for an
instant, another will steal away the bride,
take her to another seat and assume the
honors of groomsman. • This causes a
great many stratagems
. and furnishes from
time to time a laughable scene. The corn_
Pany would often leave the table and walk
hi procession, two by two, around the street,
The drink was wine and that favorite of the
Norman countrymen, apple brandy. The
latter is, undoubtedly, the most villainous
liquor in the world; forty-rod whiskey •is
nectar in comparison
The farmers distil their own brandy,
and make it.of very high proof, from seven
to ten per cent., higher than all other bran
dies. Again, it is used when quite new.
and, in consequence, harsh. For any whose
stomache is not already well cauterized with
fiery drinks, a single glass of brandy is
enough to make sick for a week. How the
people at the wedding are able to do so, I
cannot understand, but I know that for
twenty-four hours they continued to drink
at short intervals of this brandy, alternating
with wine and cider, yet nobody was seri
ously intoxicated, and I venture to say they
continued the same operation for twenty
four hours more, yet were able to go sober
enough to their homes. .
Wedding festivities, especially when there
is dancing, often last for three or four days
of a continual carouse, during which no
body sleeps, unless it is to take a nap in
their chairs, at the table, or, perhaps, lay
down for a couple of hours. The happy
pair usualy quit the company at the end
of twenty-four hours or so, and leave them
and frolic until fatigue compels them to
go home.

LYING NI BED.-At is often a question
amongst people who are unacquainted with
anatomy and physiology of man, whether
lying with head exalted or level with the
body, was the most wholesome. Most,
consulting their own ease on tlf s point)
argue in favor of that which they prefer.
Now although many delight in bolstering
up their heads at night, and sleep soundly
without injury, yet we declare it to be a
dangeßius habit.—The vessels in which the
blood passes from the heart to the head are
always lessened in their cavities when the
head is resting in bed higher than the body ;
therefore in all diseases attended with fever
the head should be pretty nearly on a leve
with the body; and people ought to accus
om themselves to sleep thus, and avoid
danger.—Medical Journal.
THE TERM "BROTHER JONATHA...N."-
General Washington placed great confidence
in the good sense and patriotism of Jona
than Trumbull, who, at an early period of
the American Revolution, was govenor of
the State of Connecticut. In a certain emer
gency, when a measure of great importance
was under discussion, Washington renrked,
"We mnst consult Brother Jonathan on the
subject." The result of that consultation
was favorable. Thus from the constant use
of the expression, "We must consult Brother
Jonathan," which soon passed from tLe
army to the people at large,we received from
the English that appellation which has stuck
to us as closely as their "John Bull" to them.
