One police uittn, a well fed fellow with a erim-Bon f.ice, made quite a hero of himself by asser.jag that he knew iho follow, and wnuid'rap him before suudown. There wns a good deal of nympatby for the gen-tlercuu who bad lost his pooket handkerchief, hut none that I could hear for the poor-, degraded wretch who had purloined it, uuiil a placid voice at my elbow mtered Ihe following words, Apparently in soliloquy : ' Will, I may be wrong, but I somehow bope they won't catch him." 1 turned in surprise, and confronted our grui, ou whose steps I had sunght shelter from the crowd, which, at. suoh a ruo-nieo', cuiild not be expected to think much of the safuty. of a woman. . - Our .r.tcer was a portly man, with a th ning bald head, fringed by a ring of white hair, like tbe tonsure f a Roman CtUio'io priest, and wearing at iho moment a Hiillund apron, and a short, blue jacket. "Yes'tD,' he went oo, "I really hopa the Minei able, starved-luoking creature will get otf." "Then you don't . believe he picked the g :i.il'!!ou'n pot-kei," said 1. I'm tu'raid it's only loo coriaiu that he did, ma'am," said lus man, shaking his bal. "He looked straight at me as he p.s-e I, and ha had hungry, depetate eyes i h it looked, like tiieft, and murder, too, for that matter." "Acd yet you wish him to escape, when be hits broken the laws of the laud, and wili prolably do so again?" "God iorbid that I should help to break the law," said the old ii.ri.ccr. "Good men mad j itn.m, aud thi y are rigid; but there are o h-r laws that I read in my old Bible Suu.lay nights, that seem to be an binding Owe ..i tbem is 'Do uu;o others as you wen d hat others should do unto you;' and nnviher -Love thy neighbor as thyself.' When I remember these word, I think that you may be too hard with a P-or, sinful fellow being, and not go beyond the limits of the law either." "That rich gentleman who bad bis pocket picked, will go home to find a diuner and a hutile of wine, no doubt, and the wretch of a thief way have a crust of bread and a gls of burning gin, if ho can soli or pawn what he stole for enough to get them. Some-bow, if 1 could, I wouldu'l have him hunted down to-Diiiht I vow 1 wouldn't. "Still, I dou't bUiiiU I bone youDg fellows; I d have been as furious iu tue oUase as any of 'em years ao; but. I learnt a lesson onoe that I never hive forgotten, and hope I nev er may. 1 was a young man, and a- poor one then, and had a bard struggle to make my little shop keep n.y little family. It was only by pinching and saving, and keeping a sharp lookout for every bargain, that I man aged it at nil "We litsd iu a shabby street, and had only very few customers. A loaf of bread, a quarter' of a pound of butter, and two ounces of black tea was qu.te an order, and. most of loose who came wanted trust. "An tor laying in fine fruit or vegetables, I never thought of such lolly. Diamonds would have been as eatable in that part of the city, where washerwomen and the poorest laboring men were tbe aristocracy. ' Now and loen, when a foreign ship came to port, wilb a loid of ruined pineap plei, or decayed oranges, I bought a lot of tbi m. and charging tbem to nothing, noi l them easily enough. Although I own my wile used to say tho miserable babies, who xOilett about tho gutters, died ott faster af ter every stock of damaged foreign fruit I sold in the old shop, and I'm afraid she was right. Well, ng told you, I struggled along ae best I might, and after a while things began to improve, and I began to have vibioub of a clean etoie in a good street, whi n I laid down to rest at mghC "So 0'ie day when I bad been to m.rket I brought homo half a dozen hams and bimg ibem up 'ubout the door, more for show than anything elto, for hams were a grand holiday dinner in those regions, and n it an every day affair, I oan tell you. They went off slowly, as 1 thought they would. Nnw i.i d then some out) would come in lor a r.,.v i- i, and once I cold half of the email- eat oi 'in woman who wanted it for her VPuiM.i'. , dinner, fihe was to py me on M nifi morning, hut she never did, for on Sundi'i night her husband killed her with a mm v. tile, and tbey took her body past my s'top with its pour head all beaten out of chape and bloody, 'And so tho hams hung there through the summer and through the fall, and quit ou into the winter, "It was just as tho December nights be can to er.iw long and dark and oold, that 1 noticed a new polioeman on our beat a voune, handsome looking fellow, with very bright eyes, but with euch tbin oheeks and hmde, although he seemed to be power fully built and made for rather a stout man, that I could not help watching him, and wondering whether be had been ill or not. Tbe first time that I noticed him was about tuuB;t, and be passed and re-passed my window a doztn times, looking all the while straight at those hams which dangled from the frame of the awning. 'I hope he means to buy one,' I said to my wife; as we at. tnirether.over the tea table; 'and I sbovlln't wonder if be did, for ho seems to have taken Quite a fanoy to them "Unt the evening passed, nod though I saw him evert cow and then on the other side of the wsv. looking across with his bright eyes straight al the hams, he did not come in or sneak to me on the subject And so I made up my mind that he would send for it in the morning, and somehow made so sura of it that whenever 1 saw a decent looking woman go by with a basket on her arm, I said, 'That's the policeman's wife, coniinz after the ham. 1 was mis taken, however: and after the street lamps were lighted that night I began to Bee the man c tcioir no and down, with his eyes still fixed as they had been th night previous, upon tho hams. Ooce he caught me peeping at him, and than he turned bo red and looked at me with such a glitler in bis eyes that. I grew angry, and said to myself, 'It's well that kecoioe unsaleable articles isn't a crime in this country, for if It. was should expect to be arrested.' So I him back his look, turned on my heel, gaye and walked back into tbe shop. I did not him airain that night; bnt long after every thing 1' ad been taken in and locked and I was snug in oed, l heard a tramp, tramp, tramp, upon the pavement, knew if was the new policeman, and that ho was looking at the hooks where tbe h ma hung, as well ss though I had seen I'l'n. "On the third evening he was there again; lhat, you may say, was no wonder, for it w is his duty to be upon that beat and, no o her; but it was ourtous that he should ki ep on staring at those hams with those blight, wolfish eyes of bis. I didn't like jt, ibouffh 1 could not have said why. A ves. sel had been wrecked at sea about that time, and an ex ra, with th.) talent, news of the disaster, came out. that evening. 1 h; ught a paper and sat down behind, .the counter to read it. It was a stormy night and but few customers came in, and those wt-re easily served, and somehow, between reading and thinking, time passed on, until the dock struck eleven, and I had not yet taken in my goods or put up my Shut ters, i-"Just as I was about to do so, (in fact,I had already put my hand upon the first piece of the shutter), my door opened and an old woman came ju. j3he was a sottish, miserable creature, known about the place a Irifh Rate, and with her red nose and bleared eyes and bloated limbs, was as ugly a figure ae any one ever oast eyes m 'Another dram, I suppose I said to my-slf, going behind tbe bar at onoe, fori wanted to get rid of ber as soon as preside, list she, to my surprise, name close up to me, and put her great red paw apon n.'y arm. - . - ' "I've made a diskivery, mister," she eaid. "You have not been keeping as bright a lookout as ye should; there's been a tbafe at work widout this blensed night": . --t "What thiol? ' I asked. "More than I can tell ye,'' she answered: "But I tbink it's a policeman, no less, the blackguard." ' ! ' ' "A uolioeman!" I cried, and nay thoughts flew at once to the man I had seen staring at mv hams. .- ; ' It's too dark to Bee his face," she said, "but I caught the shine of a star on the coat be has on, and whoever it was, took a ham from your pega aud hid it in the ash bo beyond the oorner. re 11 hud it there, if ye lock; and sure ye ll not refuse a bud of wh sky for the information." ' 1 gave the old creature what sue- wanted, hurried her out of the shop, and put up tiio shutters, growing angrier every moment... , "If it is tbe policemen, I U. make him pay dearly for it," as I slunk along the sidewalk to tbe corner, keeping in the shadow all the way, and when I stood beside, the box and saw by the light of the lamp, close by, that the ham was there, wrapped in something which looked like a handkerchief, I bit my lips and olenohed my fiats with rage. Had been a common thief I should not oa uoh have minded; but a policeman 1 it as more than I could stand. So I crouch ed myself in a doorway nV waited.

It may be said to have been only the revelation of what has long been passing in tbe hearts and minds of the people. What ever was political or national in its objects was subordinate to the social one, that of destroying landlordism. Its war was npon all, tbe institutions of landed property. Such a war assumed, it is true, a politioal and national form, because the power of England and the institutions of England apnoia me present proprietary system in the country. But that which the Irish peasant feels as the real erievanee of 'Eoe- lish domination,' is not any wound to hia nationality, but the land system whioh that 'domination' forces on him. In all previ- ous Irish movements the national question had been put foremost: but the mass of the people. understood the 'national question' in a sense somewhat different from that Dut upon it by their leaders. With them land- lordism and the land system was the im- personation of English domination and mis- rule. - "The power of Ihe Fenian conspiracy was the earnest appeal which it made to the real motives which actuated the people, In that there was of necessity a severance from that large olass of 'nationalists' who would not avow these objeots or did not en- tertain. them. The time, however, h&d come when it was possible to carry on a politioal organization without the aid of the upper classes. The national schools had diffused eduoation and intelligence among the people. The institution of a cheap press enabled a journal to be con ducted relying solely on the support of the lower oraers: ana tne banner ot irisn na- tionality was presented with the legend of Down with landlordism.' "This drove at onoe from such a movement all who shrunk from the possible horrors of a servile war. It arrayed against it all who bad property to lose, or who had sympathies with those conventionalisms whioh property maintains. But it made its way with the maBS of the people. It never could have done so if discontent had not rankled into hatred of all institutions connected with property in land. . "It was of course easy for fright and passion and prejudice, to represent such a movement as a mere conspiracy for plunder. But whatever were the orimes or the follies of ' Fenianism,' it certainly was not this. "I am not writing its history or vindi cating its charaoter. But I say that both its existenoe and its power over the people are to be traoed to the discontent which prevails among them on 'The Land Question.' "We must not shrink from speaking the whole truth with referecoe to those agrarian outrages which have given to bo many distriots in Ireland a dismal notoriety. The various illegal societies, the agrarian, crimes, which have so constantly disturbed Ireland, have all resulted from the conviction of the people that, under the present system of landed property, , they needed tome protection beyond that given them by taw. ' This oonviotion is rooted m the very hearts of the people. Ithas descended from generation to generation. It has found its expression in many a lawless aat, whioh was justified in ,1-e eyes of the peo ple as 'the wild justice of revenge. It has been manifested in all ihe agitations for tenant right, whatever form and character they have taken. It has assumed its last and most dangerous form in that Fenian conspiracy, the chief attraction of whioh was mat jit went straignt to tue point, sdu proolaimea a war against all property in land. i I .

A heavy and deep I responsibility is this on all : who have con- tided to them the trust of making that soil available, for the sustenance of man. The government, the landlords, and the ooou-piers, must divide among themselves the blame. "How many thousand families within the last twenty years have been driven from their homes?

They were in many - 1 stances clearances of estates; tnat is, I dispossession of a whole population from to l their ancestral homes, inese peopie were 'cottiers it is true. Their existence had be- oome inconvenient to the great lord to whose ancestors Oliver Cromwell's grant, had given thi ownership of the land. From generation to generation, they and their forefathers had lived as oottiera upon the land under a system tolerated by law. The hope of gain, the dread of a poor rale, the desire for large farms, had prompted the edict which commanded that the whole condition of life in an entire 'dial riot shall be changed. By what name shall we call a wholesale extermination that followed suoh an edict as this? It is Tain to disguise it as the exercise of any right of civilized property. It is an act of war, of cruel, ruthless war war as cruel and as ruthless as the act of the ribbon society by whioh it was sometimes avenged. It derives its auttority from ooo quest, and it has all the severity of conquest without the restraining humanities which temper the inflictions of. actual victory in arms This clearance might h-ve been enforced it was, perhaps, intended that it should be enforced, the day upoa which tb grant was made of property won by the sword. The exjoution has been deferred for -two centuries, only that the blow may fall with the accumulated animosities of these two hundred years. "ket any man tell me ihe difference between an expulsion of the whole population of the Highland regions of G'.mveigh by a squadron ef Cromwell's troopers iu 1650, aud an expulsion of its population iu 1850, by the man who baa inherited or purchased Cromwell's patent. The very 'pomp and circumstance' are the same. Military force ejeots the people now, as it would have done then. The bayonets of the soldiery drive now, as they did then, the old population from their homes. Cruel men come now, as they would have done then, and amid the wailing of women and the oriei of children, level the humble habitations whioh have given shelter to the simple dwellers in that glen. What, I ask, is the difference? By what mockery of all justice and truth can we call the one the act of inhuman conquest, and the other the legitimate exercise of the eacte l rights of property "with which no one is to interfere?" ' Firmly believing as we do in John Mitch-el'e political doctrine, ' That no good to Ireland oan ever prooeed from an English Parliament," we have no faith in our countrymen even obtaining "Fixity of Tenure," In the way suggested by Mr. Butt. As no English statesman is ever likely to prove himself a friend of the landed interests of Ireland by aoting on these humane suggestions, we must only leave the "irrepressible conflict" to be fought out between the present owner) of the soil and the people ' On th good old plan, That they shall take who have tha piwer, And they shall keep who can." ; from Wilkes' Spirit of the Times. j , Ihe Fate of Johnson. We' learn from Washington, through the epeoial dispatches of that journal which is usually posted in Administration secrets, that if, is the intention of the President, "in ease the coming eleotions are favorable to the Radicals,", to notify the Southern States that his plan is defeated, and that, "under the eirtumtaneet, the beat advice he oan give them is to adopt tbe constitutional amendment," as the beat thing they can do "that they may be admitted to representation in Congress." . At first this would seem to be the forerunner of a wholesome submission, on the part of the President, to the opinions of the People; bat it will be perceived, by the phrase whioh we have quoted, that the People's opinions, though thoroughly pronounced already, are to be resisted by the President and his retainers to the death, and only yielded to when no further effective opposition loan be made. This indication from the White House, in advanoe of the eleo lions, ia, therefore, only the key-note of a change of taotios, instead of the announcement of a ohange of principle, and it should bg regarded merely as the notification of a commander to his cohorts, how to take ground -cor a new line oi Dattie. ' The truih is, that even the ooncditea and insatiate mind of Andrew Johnson has been affrighted it the unexpected auger of the nation;; and comprehending his situation at last, he is now taking measures to ward off the dangers of impeachment. Conscious of his orimes, he foresees an inevitable accu sation b? the People, and knowing. that the result of the elections will be a virtual direction' for his indictment, he feels it behooves him t3 marshal his members within the scope of the Congressional forum. Hence we are notified by the Herald that we may expect to hear from Andrew Johnson about Monday next; and hence, as the tone ot hia address may seem to be an admissiou of his errors and an atonement for his usurpations, we desire to warn the public against such hopes and suppositions in his favor in advanoe-. Those who look for contrition or repentahoe in a. man like Andrew Johnson a man who has deserted his party, aban doned his friends, violated the Constitution, and betrayed his trusts; or for honor in one who has perverted the patronage entrusted to his charge in an endeavor to corrupt the constituency and subsidize the Press, know but little of poor human nature, aud are doomed only to the bitterest disappointment. ; - t . There is but one course to be pursued by the triumphant nation toward this faithless and degraded officer. That course will be indicated by the result of the elections this week. Those eleotions win express on the part of the people,' to ft greater degree than they will express anything else, a sense of the deep-disgust of the usurpations, vulgarities, crimes and perfidies of Andrew Johnsqaj and the verdiot will take the shape of ;a popular demand for his indictment and removal. If, being backed by this support, the Congress which he has aimed to supplant of its authority, has not courage enough to visit upon him the full extent of the alternative, it will not only prove false to tha expectations of the coun try, but will cocilemu itseif as worthy of no better fate, than that which Andrew Johnson had designed for it. If, was simi lar attempts to absorb the powers of Parlia ment in the functions of the Crown, which figured in the indictment of Charles Stew art; and surely, what the people of England felt warranted in punishing by tbe execu tion of a King, might justify, to a Demoo- racy, the expulsion ot a President. Ihe di8dainful public, in this case, do not crave the culprit's life; but the mildest iustincts OI an even-nanaeu justice require, mat tne conspirator who aimedo chain the sorer eignty of Congress to the Presidential chair, and who has brutally expelled from office those who had been appointed by the real President, of whom he is but the coun terfeit succeesor, should drain the same chalice and be expelled himself. The authority he has indulged in for a personal purpose, may thus be wholesomely retorted for the ffenerat gouu , win uv Hesitation to exercise it to tbat end, will be a grave dis credit of the resolution of the reople. It may be obi eo ted by some timorous minds, that the dominant majority of the nation oannot afford to venture the expul sion of a; President; but we would ask I whether we can better afford to endure r l bad man, whom the whole oountry desires to be expelled, than to avail ourselves of 1 thn nnnorttmlt-v -nf RiinntTtnir the ntthlic I know we haTe sufficient strength to make I ourselves the masters of our feara?

More- inl oTr, the army pf this oountry is the Peo the I pie. Again, it may be expeoted that the in- diotment and expulsion of a President would be a great scandal to the United Stated be- fore the world; but let us ask if it would not be a gi eater scandal and a greater re-proaoh to our sense of independence to endure the administration of a man who h s committed crimes which require that be should be expelled, and who is in our bauds to punish? But it is a mistake to sup. p. 93 that it would be a scandal to infl ct this justice upon such a criminal as Andrew Johnson. It would, on the contrary, be the crowning glory of our institutions to depose him by the quiet process of the law. It has cocstantly been said, by those who are envious of our democratic forms, thit the republican system of government would n t endure; that it could not stand the strain of party spirit; and that it had not eriough of rugged power to master an extended civil oonflioi; but we have seen it defy the varied tempests of a century, we have seen it grapple successfully with foreign war?; we have seen it suppress a monster insurrecion by sheer foroe of arm?; we have sen it trample out a mighty party with every aiga of indig&atiod, because it became reoreant to demooratic principles; and having s.en all this, we have beheld th - ration endure the murder of a well-r-euvii President without any derangement beyond that per-turba ion whioh be oag to grief. There is but ooe mors proof for ne to give, aud that is to take an unworthy Chief Mag. istrate by the collar, and after giving him a hearing, to turn him ignominiously out if office, as if he were a meresergeant-at-arma, or doorkeeper, or the meanest culprit iu the 8iate. This would be a full answer to all aristocratic sneers at republican vitality, and it would make the whole world know, even to its remotest corners, that the People of this country reign supreme, and constantly legislate, for themselves, on every measure worthy of general consideration. It would be the most sublime evi dence of the capacity of a People for self-government ever given to mn; and as such a proof, it would do more to establish popular institutions throngbout Europe than all other influences that have transpired for the Inst hundred years. The whole effect of such a trial would be entirely whoiesome, while the idea, that the person put on trial would be able to organize a resistance to t'ae authority;of Congress, and put this Government to a new trial of its strength as against himeelf, is simple nonsense. On the contrary, the People are expressing a .1 .-I 11....-J:. i . : .v..

Popular Mtspronuweiatioii. Dean Alton, in his book on "The Queen's English," makes the Temark: "Every im portant feature in a people s language is reflected in its character and hiatory," and then makes an unjnst and mean fling at both our oountry and its actios : "Look, to take one familiar example, at the prooess of deterioration which our Queen's English has undergone at the hands of the Ameri cans. Look at trose phrases whioh bo amuse us in their speech and books; at their reckless exaggeration, and contempt for eongruity; and then oompare the history of the nation -its blunted sense of moral obligation and duty to man; its open disregard of conventional right when aggrandizement iB to be obtained, and, I may now say, its reckless and fruitless maintenance of the most cruel and unprincipled war in tbe history of the world." Further along he quotes Arohdeaoon Hare's remark that "such abominations as honor andonor would henceforth be confined to the cards of the great vulgar," and adds: "We still see them, in books printed fn Amerioa; and while we are quite contented tb leave our fashionable friends in such company, I hope we may none of us be tempted to join it." Not one half of the instances of the vicious use of the language which he sites, either in writing or speaking, truthfully apply to Americans. He admits that most of his own country men in the town miaplaoe the aspirate. We are all familiar with the many anecdotes illustrating this blundering habit of the English people. Tne barber said to the gen tie mail whose hair he was dressing: "I think the cholera is in the Aatr " ' Then," replied the gentleman, "you should be care tul in me use of brushes. So. "Ub, re plied the barber, ' I don't mean the 'air of the ead, but the hair of the batmosphere. There is, however, an unpardonable sloven liness among educated people in the matter of pronunciation. formerly but little attention was given to this tubject in the sohools, and it does not now receive the attention and drill that its importance demands. We frequently hear persons of pretentious oorreotness Bay England, whereas it is not only incorrect, but vulgar. The ordinary and usual pro nunoiation, ngland, is right. There is a large class of words ending in "ment pro- nounoed as if spelt ' munt, for instance, judgmunt, for judgment; bestowmunf, for bestowmenf. And more frequently are words ending in "ness pronounced as if spelt "niss;" aa goodniM, for goodtteu; right- eousnus tor righteousness. . Words begin ning "con" are now frequently pronoucoed as if spelt "cue;" as cunsole, for console; ctmtrol, for eon rol. We were once correct ed for saying tre.pfwj, the crmo insisting u should be tresetu. Almost invariably, when a gentleman is called upon to preside in a popular assembly, he informs us that "the subnet- before th meeten is so-and-so; whereas most school boys know it should be "the subieei before the meeting, The pronunciation of the stage is, at times, particularly offensive. Huch affeo tions as these are frequent: Oe-ide, forguide (gide); andske-ies, tor sites. Many of our most popular orators are very indifferent to the. best standards, or exceedingly careless in conforming ti them. Wendell Phillips is almost faultless in pro nunciation, as in every other matter per taining to publio speaking. Mr. Beecher is Ipbs accurate than Dr. Chapin. Through the rural distriots of New Eag- lmd the provincialisms are very many and marked, while the language ia spoken in greater purity in Bostou than in any Eng lish-speaking city iu the world.

They usually say "horm for "harm, ana "narse ior "horse We sometimes hear ignorant Eastern peo ple talking abjut Western coarsness; but from a somewhat ex'eneive acquaintance with ail eectiona oi tbe country, it is our oandid conviction that the "Queen's Eng- high "is spoken more oorrectl I the Western than tbe o;hcr St ectly through atea of the Union.

A Very quiet place at most times, hut laie one an-'umu afternoon a siraoge cry Bounded through it, which awakened all its eohoee, a. id called ourlous faces to the doors and Windows.

Ttie wore tut of. s gh' in a moment, hot ii a ill ie whi'e tht tiy a heard that tbe thief bad baffled tbem, and some among ihr urotvd rusbed baca to see if ihetr prey hhd doubled ou his track; -and etueia, 1'ilky ai d lndignunt with the result of i e.r us' loss chase, camu back muttering angrily or swearing, with many violent oaih, jhat they wouil have him yet. One police uittn, a well fed fellow with a erim-Bon f.ice, made quite a hero of himself by asser.jag that he knew iho follow, and wnuid'rap him before suudown. There wns a good deal of nympatby for the gen-tlercuu who bad lost his pooket handkerchief, hut none that I could hear for the poor-, degraded wretch who had purloined it, uuiil a placid voice at my elbow mtered Ihe following words, Apparently in soliloquy : ' Will, I may be wrong, but I somehow bope they won't catch him." 1 turned in surprise, and confronted our grui, ou whose steps I had sunght shelter from the crowd, which, at. suoh a ruo-nieo', cuiild not be expected to think much of the safuty. of a woman. . - Our .r.tcer was a portly man, with a th ning bald head, fringed by a ring of white hair, like tbe tonsure f a Roman CtUio'io priest, and wearing at iho moment a Hiillund apron, and a short, blue jacket. "Yes'tD,' he went oo, "I really hopa the Minei able, starved-luoking creature will get otf." "Then you don't . believe he picked the g :i.il'!!ou'n pot-kei," said 1. I'm tu'raid it's only loo coriaiu that he did, ma'am," said lus man, shaking his bal. "He looked straight at me as he p.s-e I, and ha had hungry, depetate eyes i h it looked, like tiieft, and murder, too, for that matter." "Acd yet you wish him to escape, when be hits broken the laws of the laud, and wili prolably do so again?" "God iorbid that I should help to break the law," said the old ii.ri.ccr. "Good men mad j itn.m, aud thi y are rigid; but there are o h-r laws that I read in my old Bible Suu.lay nights, that seem to be an binding Owe ..i tbem is 'Do uu;o others as you wen d hat others should do unto you;' and nnviher -Love thy neighbor as thyself.' When I remember these word, I think that you may be too hard with a P-or, sinful fellow being, and not go beyond the limits of the law either." "That rich gentleman who bad bis pocket picked, will go home to find a diuner and a hutile of wine, no doubt, and the wretch of a thief way have a crust of bread and a gls of burning gin, if ho can soli or pawn what he stole for enough to get them. Some-bow, if 1 could, I wouldu'l have him hunted down to-Diiiht I vow 1 wouldn't. "Still, I dou't bUiiiU I bone youDg fellows; I d have been as furious iu tue oUase as any of 'em years ao; but. I learnt a lesson onoe that I never hive forgotten, and hope I nev er may. 1 was a young man, and a- poor one then, and had a bard struggle to make my little shop keep n.y little family. It was only by pinching and saving, and keeping a sharp lookout for every bargain, that I man aged it at nil "We litsd iu a shabby street, and had only very few customers. A loaf of bread, a quarter' of a pound of butter, and two ounces of black tea was qu.te an order, and. most of loose who came wanted trust. "An tor laying in fine fruit or vegetables, I never thought of such lolly. Diamonds would have been as eatable in that part of the city, where washerwomen and the poorest laboring men were tbe aristocracy. ' Now and loen, when a foreign ship came to port, wilb a loid of ruined pineap plei, or decayed oranges, I bought a lot of tbi m. and charging tbem to nothing, noi l them easily enough. Although I own my wile used to say tho miserable babies, who xOilett about tho gutters, died ott faster af ter every stock of damaged foreign fruit I sold in the old shop, and I'm afraid she was right. Well, ng told you, I struggled along ae best I might, and after a while things began to improve, and I began to have vibioub of a clean etoie in a good street, whi n I laid down to rest at mghC "So 0'ie day when I bad been to m.rket I brought homo half a dozen hams and bimg ibem up 'ubout the door, more for show than anything elto, for hams were a grand holiday dinner in those regions, and n it an every day affair, I oan tell you. They went off slowly, as 1 thought they would. Nnw i.i d then some out) would come in lor a r.,.v i- i, and once I cold half of the email- eat oi 'in woman who wanted it for her VPuiM.i'. , dinner, fihe was to py me on M nifi morning, hut she never did, for on Sundi'i night her husband killed her with a mm v. tile, and tbey took her body past my s'top with its pour head all beaten out of chape and bloody, 'And so tho hams hung there through the summer and through the fall, and quit ou into the winter, "It was just as tho December nights be can to er.iw long and dark and oold, that 1 noticed a new polioeman on our beat a voune, handsome looking fellow, with very bright eyes, but with euch tbin oheeks and hmde, although he seemed to be power fully built and made for rather a stout man, that I could not help watching him, and wondering whether be had been ill or not. Tbe first time that I noticed him was about tuuB;t, and be passed and re-passed my window a doztn times, looking all the while straight at those hams which dangled from the frame of the awning. 'I hope he means to buy one,' I said to my wife; as we at. tnirether.over the tea table; 'and I sbovlln't wonder if be did, for ho seems to have taken Quite a fanoy to them "Unt the evening passed, nod though I saw him evert cow and then on the other side of the wsv. looking across with his bright eyes straight al the hams, he did not come in or sneak to me on the subject And so I made up my mind that he would send for it in the morning, and somehow made so sura of it that whenever 1 saw a decent looking woman go by with a basket on her arm, I said, 'That's the policeman's wife, coniinz after the ham. 1 was mis taken, however: and after the street lamps were lighted that night I began to Bee the man c tcioir no and down, with his eyes still fixed as they had been th night previous, upon tho hams. Ooce he caught me peeping at him, and than he turned bo red and looked at me with such a glitler in bis eyes that. I grew angry, and said to myself, 'It's well that kecoioe unsaleable articles isn't a crime in this country, for if It. was should expect to be arrested.' So I him back his look, turned on my heel, gaye and walked back into tbe shop. I did not him airain that night; bnt long after every thing 1' ad been taken in and locked and I was snug in oed, l heard a tramp, tramp, tramp, upon the pavement, knew if was the new policeman, and that ho was looking at the hooks where tbe h ma hung, as well ss though I had seen I'l'n. "On the third evening he was there again; lhat, you may say, was no wonder, for it w is his duty to be upon that beat and, no o her; but it was ourtous that he should ki ep on staring at those hams with those blight, wolfish eyes of bis. I didn't like jt, ibouffh 1 could not have said why. A ves. sel had been wrecked at sea about that time, and an ex ra, with th.) talent, news of the disaster, came out. that evening. 1 h; ught a paper and sat down behind, .the counter to read it. It was a stormy night and but few customers came in, and those wt-re easily served, and somehow, between reading and thinking, time passed on, until the dock struck eleven, and I had not yet taken in my goods or put up my Shut ters, i-"Just as I was about to do so, (in fact,I had already put my hand upon the first piece of the shutter), my door opened and an old woman came ju. j3he was a sottish, miserable creature, known about the place a Irifh Rate, and with her red nose and bleared eyes and bloated limbs, was as ugly a figure ae any one ever oast eyes m 'Another dram, I suppose I said to my-slf, going behind tbe bar at onoe, fori wanted to get rid of ber as soon as preside, list she, to my surprise, name close up to me, and put her great red paw apon n.'y arm. - . - ' "I've made a diskivery, mister," she eaid. "You have not been keeping as bright a lookout as ye should; there's been a tbafe at work widout this blensed night": . --t "What thiol? ' I asked. "More than I can tell ye,'' she answered: "But I tbink it's a policeman, no less, the blackguard." ' ! ' ' "A uolioeman!" I cried, and nay thoughts flew at once to the man I had seen staring at mv hams. .- ; ' It's too dark to Bee his face," she said, "but I caught the shine of a star on the coat be has on, and whoever it was, took a ham from your pega aud hid it in the ash bo beyond the oorner. re 11 hud it there, if ye lock; and sure ye ll not refuse a bud of wh sky for the information." ' 1 gave the old creature what sue- wanted, hurried her out of the shop, and put up tiio shutters, growing angrier every moment... , "If it is tbe policemen, I U. make him pay dearly for it," as I slunk along the sidewalk to tbe corner, keeping in the shadow all the way, and when I stood beside, the box and saw by the light of the lamp, close by, that the ham was there, wrapped in something which looked like a handkerchief, I bit my lips and olenohed my fiats with rage. Had been a common thief I should not oa uoh have minded; but a policeman 1 it as more than I could stand. So I crouch ed myself in a doorway nV waited.

Ifyour story is true and I bslieva it is I pity voU more than I blame you.' "He looked at me in a sort of bewildered way, as though he soaroely understood me, and I took him by tbe arm and led him back to the shop. There I filled basket with bread and butter and coffee, and put the ham on top of all.

From The Irish People. LAST I TESiCRK IN IBELAND. BY ISAAC BUTT. From this very able pamphlet we have seleoted the following extracts, which point out the principal causes of the destitution of the Irish people at home, and of their widespread disaffection to the Government which enforces the tyrannical system to whioh their misery ia attributable: f "Fenian'sm was not a political or even a national movement, but a social one. It may be said to have been only the revelation of what has long been passing in tbe hearts and minds of the people. What ever was political or national in its objects was subordinate to the social one, that of destroying landlordism. Its war was npon all, tbe institutions of landed property. Such a war assumed, it is true, a politioal and national form, because the power of England and the institutions of England apnoia me present proprietary system in the country. But that which the Irish peasant feels as the real erievanee of 'Eoe- lish domination,' is not any wound to hia nationality, but the land system whioh that 'domination' forces on him. In all previ- ous Irish movements the national question had been put foremost: but the mass of the people. understood the 'national question' in a sense somewhat different from that Dut upon it by their leaders. With them land- lordism and the land system was the im- personation of English domination and mis- rule. - "The power of Ihe Fenian conspiracy was the earnest appeal which it made to the real motives which actuated the people, In that there was of necessity a severance from that large olass of 'nationalists' who would not avow these objeots or did not en- tertain. them. The time, however, h&d come when it was possible to carry on a politioal organization without the aid of the upper classes. The national schools had diffused eduoation and intelligence among the people. The institution of a cheap press enabled a journal to be con ducted relying solely on the support of the lower oraers: ana tne banner ot irisn na- tionality was presented with the legend of Down with landlordism.' "This drove at onoe from such a movement all who shrunk from the possible horrors of a servile war. It arrayed against it all who bad property to lose, or who had sympathies with those conventionalisms whioh property maintains. But it made its way with the maBS of the people. It never could have done so if discontent had not rankled into hatred of all institutions connected with property in land. . "It was of course easy for fright and passion and prejudice, to represent such a movement as a mere conspiracy for plunder. But whatever were the orimes or the follies of ' Fenianism,' it certainly was not this. "I am not writing its history or vindi cating its charaoter. But I say that both its existenoe and its power over the people are to be traoed to the discontent which prevails among them on 'The Land Question.' "We must not shrink from speaking the whole truth with referecoe to those agrarian outrages which have given to bo many distriots in Ireland a dismal notoriety. The various illegal societies, the agrarian, crimes, which have so constantly disturbed Ireland, have all resulted from the conviction of the people that, under the present system of landed property, , they needed tome protection beyond that given them by taw. ' This oonviotion is rooted m the very hearts of the people. Ithas descended from generation to generation. It has found its expression in many a lawless aat, whioh was justified in ,1-e eyes of the peo ple as 'the wild justice of revenge. It has been manifested in all ihe agitations for tenant right, whatever form and character they have taken. It has assumed its last and most dangerous form in that Fenian conspiracy, the chief attraction of whioh was mat jit went straignt to tue point, sdu proolaimea a war against all property in land. i I . "Whoever is to blame, the soil of Ireland ib so managed as not to fnl- I fil the great objeot of raising all that it l might do ior tne support or tne numan race I and this has been case, while on that very I soil multitudes of human beings have been I nerishing of hunger. A heavy and deep I responsibility is this on all : who have con- tided to them the trust of making that soil available, for the sustenance of man. The government, the landlords, and the ooou-piers, must divide among themselves the blame. "How many thousand families within the last twenty years have been driven from their homes? Iu a book of au thority and character I find it stated that I in the year 1849 alone 60,000 evictions took I pleoe.

They were in many - 1 stances clearances of estates; tnat is, I dispossession of a whole population from to l their ancestral homes, inese peopie were 'cottiers it is true. Their existence had be- oome inconvenient to the great lord to whose ancestors Oliver Cromwell's grant, had given thi ownership of the land. From generation to generation, they and their forefathers had lived as oottiera upon the land under a system tolerated by law. The hope of gain, the dread of a poor rale, the desire for large farms, had prompted the edict which commanded that the whole condition of life in an entire 'dial riot shall be changed. By what name shall we call a wholesale extermination that followed suoh an edict as this? It is Tain to disguise it as the exercise of any right of civilized property. It is an act of war, of cruel, ruthless war war as cruel and as ruthless as the act of the ribbon society by whioh it was sometimes avenged. It derives its auttority from ooo quest, and it has all the severity of conquest without the restraining humanities which temper the inflictions of. actual victory in arms This clearance might h-ve been enforced it was, perhaps, intended that it should be enforced, the day upoa which tb grant was made of property won by the sword. The exjoution has been deferred for -two centuries, only that the blow may fall with the accumulated animosities of these two hundred years. "ket any man tell me ihe difference between an expulsion of the whole population of the Highland regions of G'.mveigh by a squadron ef Cromwell's troopers iu 1650, aud an expulsion of its population iu 1850, by the man who baa inherited or purchased Cromwell's patent. The very 'pomp and circumstance' are the same. Military force ejeots the people now, as it would have done then. The bayonets of the soldiery drive now, as they did then, the old population from their homes. Cruel men come now, as they would have done then, and amid the wailing of women and the oriei of children, level the humble habitations whioh have given shelter to the simple dwellers in that glen. What, I ask, is the difference? By what mockery of all justice and truth can we call the one the act of inhuman conquest, and the other the legitimate exercise of the eacte l rights of property "with which no one is to interfere?" ' Firmly believing as we do in John Mitch-el'e political doctrine, ' That no good to Ireland oan ever prooeed from an English Parliament," we have no faith in our countrymen even obtaining "Fixity of Tenure," In the way suggested by Mr. Butt. As no English statesman is ever likely to prove himself a friend of the landed interests of Ireland by aoting on these humane suggestions, we must only leave the "irrepressible conflict" to be fought out between the present owner) of the soil and the people ' On th good old plan, That they shall take who have tha piwer, And they shall keep who can." ; from Wilkes' Spirit of the Times. j , Ihe Fate of Johnson. We' learn from Washington, through the epeoial dispatches of that journal which is usually posted in Administration secrets, that if, is the intention of the President, "in ease the coming eleotions are favorable to the Radicals,", to notify the Southern States that his plan is defeated, and that, "under the eirtumtaneet, the beat advice he oan give them is to adopt tbe constitutional amendment," as the beat thing they can do "that they may be admitted to representation in Congress." . At first this would seem to be the forerunner of a wholesome submission, on the part of the President, to the opinions of the People; bat it will be perceived, by the phrase whioh we have quoted, that the People's opinions, though thoroughly pronounced already, are to be resisted by the President and his retainers to the death, and only yielded to when no further effective opposition loan be made. This indication from the White House, in advanoe of the eleo lions, ia, therefore, only the key-note of a change of taotios, instead of the announcement of a ohange of principle, and it should bg regarded merely as the notification of a commander to his cohorts, how to take ground -cor a new line oi Dattie. ' The truih is, that even the ooncditea and insatiate mind of Andrew Johnson has been affrighted it the unexpected auger of the nation;; and comprehending his situation at last, he is now taking measures to ward off the dangers of impeachment. Conscious of his orimes, he foresees an inevitable accu sation b? the People, and knowing. that the result of the elections will be a virtual direction' for his indictment, he feels it behooves him t3 marshal his members within the scope of the Congressional forum. Hence we are notified by the Herald that we may expect to hear from Andrew Johnson about Monday next; and hence, as the tone ot hia address may seem to be an admissiou of his errors and an atonement for his usurpations, we desire to warn the public against such hopes and suppositions in his favor in advanoe-. Those who look for contrition or repentahoe in a. man like Andrew Johnson a man who has deserted his party, aban doned his friends, violated the Constitution, and betrayed his trusts; or for honor in one who has perverted the patronage entrusted to his charge in an endeavor to corrupt the constituency and subsidize the Press, know but little of poor human nature, aud are doomed only to the bitterest disappointment. ; - t . There is but one course to be pursued by the triumphant nation toward this faithless and degraded officer. That course will be indicated by the result of the elections this week. Those eleotions win express on the part of the people,' to ft greater degree than they will express anything else, a sense of the deep-disgust of the usurpations, vulgarities, crimes and perfidies of Andrew Johnsqaj and the verdiot will take the shape of ;a popular demand for his indictment and removal. If, being backed by this support, the Congress which he has aimed to supplant of its authority, has not courage enough to visit upon him the full extent of the alternative, it will not only prove false to tha expectations of the coun try, but will cocilemu itseif as worthy of no better fate, than that which Andrew Johnson had designed for it. If, was simi lar attempts to absorb the powers of Parlia ment in the functions of the Crown, which figured in the indictment of Charles Stew art; and surely, what the people of England felt warranted in punishing by tbe execu tion of a King, might justify, to a Demoo- racy, the expulsion ot a President. Ihe di8dainful public, in this case, do not crave the culprit's life; but the mildest iustincts OI an even-nanaeu justice require, mat tne conspirator who aimedo chain the sorer eignty of Congress to the Presidential chair, and who has brutally expelled from office those who had been appointed by the real President, of whom he is but the coun terfeit succeesor, should drain the same chalice and be expelled himself. The authority he has indulged in for a personal purpose, may thus be wholesomely retorted for the ffenerat gouu , win uv Hesitation to exercise it to tbat end, will be a grave dis credit of the resolution of the reople. It may be obi eo ted by some timorous minds, that the dominant majority of the nation oannot afford to venture the expul sion of a; President; but we would ask I whether we can better afford to endure r l bad man, whom the whole oountry desires to be expelled, than to avail ourselves of 1 thn nnnorttmlt-v -nf RiinntTtnir the ntthlic I know we haTe sufficient strength to make I ourselves the masters of our feara?

More- inl oTr, the army pf this oountry is the Peo the I pie. Again, it may be expeoted that the in- diotment and expulsion of a President would be a great scandal to the United Stated be- fore the world; but let us ask if it would not be a gi eater scandal and a greater re-proaoh to our sense of independence to endure the administration of a man who h s committed crimes which require that be should be expelled, and who is in our bauds to punish? But it is a mistake to sup. p. 93 that it would be a scandal to infl ct this justice upon such a criminal as Andrew Johnson. It would, on the contrary, be the crowning glory of our institutions to depose him by the quiet process of the law. It has cocstantly been said, by those who are envious of our democratic forms, thit the republican system of government would n t endure; that it could not stand the strain of party spirit; and that it had not eriough of rugged power to master an extended civil oonflioi; but we have seen it defy the varied tempests of a century, we have seen it grapple successfully with foreign war?; we have seen it suppress a monster insurrecion by sheer foroe of arm?; we have sen it trample out a mighty party with every aiga of indig&atiod, because it became reoreant to demooratic principles; and having s.en all this, we have beheld th - ration endure the murder of a well-r-euvii President without any derangement beyond that per-turba ion whioh be oag to grief. There is but ooe mors proof for ne to give, aud that is to take an unworthy Chief Mag. istrate by the collar, and after giving him a hearing, to turn him ignominiously out if office, as if he were a meresergeant-at-arma, or doorkeeper, or the meanest culprit iu the 8iate. This would be a full answer to all aristocratic sneers at republican vitality, and it would make the whole world know, even to its remotest corners, that the People of this country reign supreme, and constantly legislate, for themselves, on every measure worthy of general consideration. It would be the most sublime evi dence of the capacity of a People for self-government ever given to mn; and as such a proof, it would do more to establish popular institutions throngbout Europe than all other influences that have transpired for the Inst hundred years. The whole effect of such a trial would be entirely whoiesome, while the idea, that the person put on trial would be able to organize a resistance to t'ae authority;of Congress, and put this Government to a new trial of its strength as against himeelf, is simple nonsense. On the contrary, the People are expressing a .1 .-I 11....-J:. i . : .v..

Popular Mtspronuweiatioii. Dean Alton, in his book on "The Queen's English," makes the Temark: "Every im portant feature in a people s language is reflected in its character and hiatory," and then makes an unjnst and mean fling at both our oountry and its actios : "Look, to take one familiar example, at the prooess of deterioration which our Queen's English has undergone at the hands of the Ameri cans. Look at trose phrases whioh bo amuse us in their speech and books; at their reckless exaggeration, and contempt for eongruity; and then oompare the history of the nation -its blunted sense of moral obligation and duty to man; its open disregard of conventional right when aggrandizement iB to be obtained, and, I may now say, its reckless and fruitless maintenance of the most cruel and unprincipled war in tbe history of the world." Further along he quotes Arohdeaoon Hare's remark that "such abominations as honor andonor would henceforth be confined to the cards of the great vulgar," and adds: "We still see them, in books printed fn Amerioa; and while we are quite contented tb leave our fashionable friends in such company, I hope we may none of us be tempted to join it." Not one half of the instances of the vicious use of the language which he sites, either in writing or speaking, truthfully apply to Americans. He admits that most of his own country men in the town miaplaoe the aspirate. We are all familiar with the many anecdotes illustrating this blundering habit of the English people. Tne barber said to the gen tie mail whose hair he was dressing: "I think the cholera is in the Aatr " ' Then," replied the gentleman, "you should be care tul in me use of brushes. So.

There is, however, an unpardonable sloven liness among educated people in the matter of pronunciation. formerly but little attention was given to this tubject in the sohools, and it does not now receive the attention and drill that its importance demands. We frequently hear persons of pretentious oorreotness Bay England, whereas it is not only incorrect, but vulgar. The ordinary and usual pro nunoiation, ngland, is right. There is a large class of words ending in "ment pro- nounoed as if spelt ' munt, for instance, judgmunt, for judgment; bestowmunf, for bestowmenf. And more frequently are words ending in "ness pronounced as if spelt "niss;" aa goodniM, for goodtteu; right- eousnus tor righteousness. . Words begin ning "con" are now frequently pronoucoed as if spelt "cue;" as cunsole, for console; ctmtrol, for eon rol. We were once correct ed for saying tre.pfwj, the crmo insisting u should be tresetu. Almost invariably, when a gentleman is called upon to preside in a popular assembly, he informs us that "the subnet- before th meeten is so-and-so; whereas most school boys know it should be "the subieei before the meeting, The pronunciation of the stage is, at times, particularly offensive. Huch affeo tions as these are frequent: Oe-ide, forguide (gide); andske-ies, tor sites.

Through the rural distriots of New Eag- lmd the provincialisms are very many and marked, while the language ia spoken in greater purity in Bostou than in any Eng lish-speaking city iu the world.

The Ci'y Clerk of Springfield, Mass.. in turning over the musty reoords of 1792, has found a warrant issued "by the Seleotmen of the town of Springfield," on May 30 of that year, ordering 100 persons who had made themselves citizins without tbe town's oonsent acd approbation to get out of its limits within nlteen days, on pain of severe penalty ine i aie taw students nave rounded a secret "society called the "Justinian." They have adopted as a badge a black stone, enamelbd ou a gieen leaf, with the word "Justinian" engraved along the leaf, thus oomsnemorating those three distinguished legal ''swells, Justinian, rjlackstone and ureenleaf, In a town not far from Boston, a clergy man was visiting a district school, where a little boy was put forward by the teacher to "dptK a piece, Deeause ne was DOia. When he had done, the clergyman praised him by Baying, "Why, my little lad. you are not afraid, are you: "No, sir. I ain t afraid of nothin'. I ain't afraid of skunks!" Colonel Robert Eenneoott, one of the leaders of the Overl&nd Bussia-Amerioan Telegraph Expedition, who died last March on the . far off Northwestern coast, is the same person who was formerly oonneoted with the Bmitnsonian institute at washing-ton. He was a thorough explorer, having spent a greater portion of. his young but aotive Efe on the prairies of the West, and amid the frigid soeneries of the Hudson Bay Territory, from both of whioh fields of labor he furnished ricn ana rare cottec lions of minerals and botanio specimens, In a Southern city, whioh shall be name less, lived one of the "ohiv., who had a favorite servant named Jack. The master, who wag an Episcopalian, attended a churoh where the responses were made by a olerk, in the English fashion. Notioiog for some time that Jack did not attend ouuron, he one day asked him the reason. Jaok scratched his head and answered: "Why, you see. mass a. I likes de church and de parson berry well, but i oon t nice to near aat oiu man mook de minister." Poor Jack meant the olerk. The yeung King of Bavaria is no politi oian. tie loves parties, music, art, ana ie male society, and has a horror for the dry details of government Beoently, he has formed an affeotion for a subject whom he cannot receive at his palace, and with whom he holds stolen interviews. When the late session of the Diet had been completed, the members were anxious to adjourn. But they oould not do so without an order from the King, and he had gone wandering throueh the woods and groves with his "friend." and could not be found, ihe lm- patient members were kept waiting all day, and at night the Secretary of State took the I responsibility 01 announcing mat me rj-tug had ordered their dismissal.
