TU . : yen have ever been in B r ------!.' you, have undoubtedly heard ; of Simon Sharpe r. , Heisecensidered the sharpest man in the eo iitry. - His father was old 3Olui 'Shur e, and his:mother's mai den nriiiie Was,Jennie Keene; and they , are net afall related, even by marriage; to toe' Blunt faultily. 'a . t - , .t Perhaps lt,:is unnecessary io remark that: Simon Sharpe is wealthy. His money 'veins, his sharpness; for, he has added a great deal to what his frail-. er-reft him. Mr. Sharpe lets money out at'sharp Interest, takes, a mortgage on any and every kind of property, and occasionally makes. a.very sharp trade. in B , &man Sharpe is Considered Just as good as the bank, if not better. Such sharp men aregenerally miserly, I belieVe 1 • but it is, not so with Simon Sharpe. People call . him generous, even outside of business matters. He lives in a fine house on Picket Street, keeps a carriage, and drives ,the best pair of horses there isin theeetintry. Hiswife is considered, by her' neighbors, very extravagant;, bqt it doesn't seem .to trouble him at all. His, .daughter is ditto ; but that doesn't trouble any one but your humble servant. - Now you want.,to know why I should care about that.;: and I am,going to tell you if you doti'l hurry me:'. This daughter was Simon Sharpe's only child: ,She was beautifol and her name was, Angela. She was sweet tempered, 'and her bait: was of achesuut 'brown. She was angelic, and her eyes were blue. She loved me,, and wore -r ) nar t *kr ta3 : ..:0R3i10ip,,r5t.... _ uertzp,cl..hpr; -paid she knew it.. : E.Toved her to distraction, and had Only ittreen dollars and - thirty six cents in my , ocket at- the time I de clared ..my 'passion„ She was extrava gant,t' rind how could I support her? If I couldn' support her, how could I marry her? 111 couldn't marry her how could r escape a ,broken ,heart?. It, was an impossibility. , ~ , ' ,Then I thought that .perhaps Mr. 'Simon Sharpe might take pity uponme, or, ; if nottipon me upon his daughter— his owii flesh and blood, who was pin ing away just for the . want of something , to love.• I hurried before him. .I found him in his .oilice.

TheSe deposits are -formed by the disintegrating rocks in which they were imbedded, but loosened by the action of frost, water or other causes, mid as gold is seven times heav ier than iron, it will naturally seek the lowest. possible point at which to rest. Thus in the beds of montain streams' that placer is -most frc !neatly found. li Sometimes a rapid •currdnt carries the 'particles of gold into eddies where it is 'deposited and pockets, as they are called, are formed which often yield an ounce of gold to a pan of . soil.- But more frequently the grains are colt mingled with sand, pebbles{ along the streams, and to secure therm the current of water is carried along Ihimes sluice -boxes in which numerous strips' of • ••wood are Fastened to the bottom.

Though much is read of the Fenian Brotherhood in the 'public prints, thati is a vast amount of ignorance touching,' the nature and objects of the Order At the late Fenian Congress held la Cincinnati, a declaration Of principles was put forth, WhiCh, if generally'pub: I 'shed, ningtresultin enlighteningthous ands. 'Seldom have •We -read a rao.te dignified, able, and eloquent appeal to the friends of universal freedom,, and that our readers may become informed of: the principles which underlie, and thb Motives which imj)el the, Order; we herewith present the . Address, omitting only thenpening paragraphs : 0 "We believe and declare that free dom-1116 right to " life, liberty and the., pursuit of happiness "—is inherent- in every,creature made in the image and likeness of God, and that, however in-• divid,uals, by crime or violation of the faws. : passed for the maintainance and . welhheing of society, may forfeit any portion of those rights, the enslavement of a homogeneous people, either by for eign power 'or domestic tyranny, can not, under any circumstances, be justi fied. The God of nature, in placing be tween the English and Irish natiO.ne not only the distinctions marked - by differences of national character, but f also, natural barriers, which,—in spite of special legislation, designed to ob literate the nationality of Ireland, have, kept them sepamteand distinet as peo ples,—has written on iinperishable.recs ord the claims of our country to inde pendent national existence, and made earth and sea the 7 wltnesses to the invio lability ofour charter of freedom. Even had any generation of our race preyed recreant, and voluntarily agreed to sur render their rights as men, too limits fixed totauman existence, and the utter inability of man to legislate for an.y thing appertaining to himself beyond this mortal sphere, are the seal and tes timony. set by the Almighty Creator on each of His creatures, to teach them, through all time, that the inalienable. and indefeasible rights imparted with their being must come down to than undiminished and unimpaired by the follies or the crimes of their predecess ors. But the title of our ,people upon this polutis clear and unimpeachable. Through over twenty successive , gener ations, they have never ceased to pro, test and struggle against the plunder of their national rights. From age to age • the legacy of patriotic effort has been transinittech from sire to son ; and the dungeon, the scafibld and the battle field have proved the fidelity with which the sacred trust . has been dis ehargedik-s The Irish people Of to-day are still custodians of that great trust; and, iu their name, the Fenian Broth erhood has been organized to demand, and with the blessing of Heaven, to. achieve, what so many of our race have atmpted before—the liberation of_our cot n try from the domination of 'Eng land. We demand it 'irs l the name of ev ry man of Irish blood throughout t! the whole earth ; and we desire to ' ac cdmplish it solely for the benefit of every Irishman, without distinction of creed, or class or political idea. We claim the laud of our: fathers for the benefit of the people, whose' birth-right it is, who love it with filial affection, and who, by the eternal decree of .their Maker, - have earned, in the sweat of their brows, the right to live upon, to , possessand to enjoy it. We seelt injury to no man ; our quarrel is not with any class,.but the government which has robbed and murdered our people, •and with those who sustain it in its tyran ny and usurpation. If in our onward march to liberty any such oppose us, arrayed under the-flag of the oppressor, —which has been the symbol of slavery in Ireland, and is the ensign of the en emy of liberty .everywhere,—On , their heads, not ours, be the consequences. We ask only Justieel for ourselves and 'our kindred; and the vindication of • principle xequires thatan ,alien power shall no longer be permitted, un disturbed, to devour our • substance, 'while; those who produce it by their toil, wither and 'pipe in bondage which at once destroys their bodies and-debas es their souls. Our motto is, "Ireland ' —Free and, Independent," , . for her own people first; and, then, whenter free will and action are untramniered and linquestloilidcfpr the freedoni, the ele vation, and the happiness of humanity, the world over. No narrow or restrict ed views confine our action.. In the, language of ant Executive, "Friction we abhor; sectionalism we scorn." We seek all the rights that, as men, belong to us ; and seek them for the whole of out people;: we-make no reservation, we tolerate' no distinction that would divide the true children of Ireland. We have been ,accused ,of irreligion, and of seeking to undermine those great moral.prineipis,which, reminding men that their first uty is to their Creator,' underlie and p serve the whole frame stork of society The accusation is un true and unit t. The genius .of the ? Irish people Is essentially religious; their history, is a record of enduring faith; of constancy under persecution ; of the noblest sacrifices cheerfullymade in the sustainment of religion and Mor ality; of tolerance .and charity ha the hour of triumph; and the whole course of our organization proves that, in this respect, too, It truly represents and r.ac cords with the character of o,ur race. •eligion—the pure and reverential omage which man - offersl to his Ma -1,, ,her—we regard as a sentiment too sacred o be mixed up with the strife of earth .l. a eo n n d s w e ieelnecaev of f i tt, the untouched, earth y t e e e r n es t t h s e ; individ ual and Him to whom the tribute is • due.
