TEACH YOUR CHILDREN KINDNESS. 
Parents, as well as children, are often 
guilty of wrong and cruelty to the animal 
creation, for which they can offer no other 
excuse than the gratification of self. If wo 
would have kind and humane children, let 
us, who are parents set an examplo worthy 
to be followed. If children have tho right 
examples set before them, and are taught to 
bo kind and feeling to the animal creation 
while they are young, it is seldom tho caso 
they will grow up with unfeeling and cruel 
dispositions. Tho boy that has boon suffer¬ 
ed to cruolize and destroy tho feathered 
tribe, because ho found sport in it, and that 
too without any just rebukes from his pa¬ 
rents, is apt to care little for the pain ho 
gives others, even after ho has grown up.— 
Tho more a boy is allowed to indulgo in the 
cruel sport of destroying tho innocent crea¬ 
tures God has made, tho more hardened 
does ho become, and the less does ho think 
of the cruelty ho is practising. The dying 
struggles of the robin do not touch his heart, 
because they have becomo common and of 
every day occurrence. 
It is the duty of parents, to early impress 
upon the minds of their children, the feel¬ 
ing of love and kindness they should have 
towards God’s creatures. If the right feel¬ 
ings are implanted, and good examples sot 
beforo children, small would bo the num¬ 
ber (in comparison to what it now is.) of 
boys who would be sauntering forth with 
their guns, to shoot down tho little winged 
creatures that make glad music in our fields 
and groves. But instead of parents dis¬ 
countenancing such acts of cruelty, quite 
many encourage them,—for often is it the 
case, that tho father will take his little son 
(of not more than ten summers, perhaps,) 
to the woods and fields, and thus set the ex¬ 
ample with his own hand of shooting down, 
in cool blood, somo harmless little sparrow 
or blue-bird, thus allowing his little boy the 
gratification of witnessing his father’s deeds 
of daring. 
If wo trace back this father’s history to 
his boyhood, ten chances to one, if ho was 
not taken to tho woods in tho same manner 
by his father, and thus learned and contin¬ 
ued such a practice till wo see him training 
his children in tho same way. It is a natu¬ 
ral consequence for boys to delight in gun- 
ing, and if allowed to take their own course, 
and led on withal, by their father, a major¬ 
ity of them will spend a good part of their 
time in “cruel sporting—a practice shock¬ 
ing in the extreme. A reformation is cer¬ 
tainly needed; and in many States there 
are laws enacted for tho protection of the 
feathered race, &c., which have done con¬ 
siderable towards saving the lives of such 
creatures as the laws aim to protect; but 
however stringent such laws may be, they 
will not have much effect upon the disposi¬ 
tion of lawless boys. Parents can, if they 
will, do a vast deal more towards effecting a 
desired 'reformation, than any prohibitory 
laws. The example and precept of parents 
are of essential importance; and the wrongs 
and cruelties should bo pictured to the 
minds of children in such a way that 
they will have no desire to take the life of 
any creature that is harmless to man. If 
this woro done, a law would bo already en¬ 
graven upon tho heart, that could have no 
equal on the statute book. Let parents try 
tho experiment; and my word for it, a dif¬ 
ferent feeling will soon be manifested to¬ 
wards the animal craatjon. A. Todd.

mental in giving bias and direction to the 
character of the future man ? — and how 
many of our instructors estimate fully the 
responsibility of a position that necessarily 
gives them such an influence ? Do they 
weigh and appreciate it as they ought ? 
Wo havo often thought a characteristic dis¬ 
tinction between teachers and school-keep¬ 
ers was observable in tho fact that tho for¬ 
mer, because interested in tho well-being of 
their charge, feel the responsibility resting 
upon them in the work of expanding and 
giving direction to tho intellectual and mor¬ 
al powers of the young, while the latter, 
from sheer indifference, practically repudi¬ 
ate all accountability. 
A due senso of responsibility in tho 
toacher is among the most fruitful sourcos 
of success, while the want of it will as often 
prove a cause of failure. Wo havo observed 
that our most successful teachers are always 
most deeply interested in whatover relates 
to, or in any -way affects, their duties, or the 
interests of those under their instruction: 
whereas our drones are ever ready on gossip 
of a trivial and frivolous character, and the 
more irrelative and foreign from profes¬ 
sional topics the hotter. We have often 
marked the distinction, and could give, in 
illustration living oxamples of tho two clas¬ 
ses ; somo of which, although indicating a 
lamentably low dogreo of mental develop¬ 
ment, and of moral culture and sensibility, 
could but appear ludicrous in the extreme.

THE PEOPLES’COLLEGE. 
RESPONSIBILITY OF EDUCATORS. 
How many of our readers appreciate 
properly tho responsibility of tho position 
they occupy in society ? Wo do not mean 
legal, but moral responsibility : responsibili¬ 
ty to society, to their country, and to thoir 
Creator. Wo fear too many do not appre¬ 
ciate it as they should. 
The intimate relation they sustain to the 
children and youth of their charge ; and the 
facilities afforded by daily intercourse for 
securing their affections and sympathies., 
give them a power to control and give direc¬ 
tion to their forming character for good or 
for evil with an effect to an extent greater 
by far than any other class with whom they 
havo to do. Every act, every word, makes 
its impression, and often with a permanency 
never to bo effaced; but how many, alas, 
appear to bo wholly unconscious of the in¬ 
fluence their conduct, their habits and their 
manners are daily and hourly exerting upon 
the groups of youthful imitators around 
them, and seorn to feel as ifticts, once pass¬ 
ed, were obliterated and all traces of them 
lost forever. But the memory of the child 
is an imperishable record that is road and 
re-read even to tho last stages of second 
childhood ; and the oarly moral impressions 
mado upon it are as lasting as if engraven 
upon adamant, giving tone to character, and 
not uufrequently marking, or debasing the 
future man. 
Who, then, can estimate to what extent 
tho influence of teachers is directly instru¬ 
The Trustees namod in tho Legislative 
act incorporating this College held their 
first meeting at Oswego, Tioga Co., on Wed¬ 
nesday, and elected 1). C. McCallum, of 
Owego. President. J. Wynkoop, of Che¬ 
mung, Vico President; Tracy Morgan, of 
Binghampton. Treasurer; Harrison Howard 
of Lockport, Secretary and General Agent. 
Arrangements were made for an appeal 
through the Public Press to the friends of 
Practical Education throughout the State 
for subscriptions to the stock, and strong- 
hopes were expressed that the success of 
such appeal would enable the Trustees to 
call a Stockholders’ meeting preparatory to 
tho location of the College before tho cioso 
of the year. So far as the plan has been 
commended to tho laboring class and those 
allied to them by birth, training, and sympa¬ 
thy, it has mot with unbroken favor. The 
General Agent solicits communications and 
suggestions from all who are interested in 
the idoa. and will gladly send a pamphlet 
containing tho act of incorporation and an 
outline of the course of Study and Labor 
contemplated to each person whose name 
may be forwarded him for tho purpose. 
The People’s College is not the purely 
Agricultural seminary for which a charter 
was obtained by John Delafield and others 
at the last Session. That seminary will 
doubtless do much good, when established, 
in diffusing a knowledge of tho principles 
and methods of Agriculture among the sons 
of gentlemen; but tho People's College 
meditates a far wider field of usefulness.-— 
By not merely providing labor, but by abso¬ 
lutely requiring the devotion or some hours 
weekly to Manual Toil from every pupil 
not only but every teacher as well, it aims 
to secure efficiency in Industry and a just 
pride in its prosecution and results as the 
public or corporate sentiment of tho Col¬ 
lege, thence diffusing and awakening that 
pride throughout the country. Work being 
tho inexorable condition on which the priv¬ 
ileges of the institution are accorded, thou¬ 
sands will bo brought to recognize its in¬ 
trinsic nobleness, who would regard it with 
far different emotions while it remained a 
badge of depression and servitude. Then 
there are hundreds of youth who need and 
earnestly desire a better education than our 
Common Schools afford, yet Avho are de¬ 
barred by poverty and friendlessness from 
obtaining it under tho old system. To thoso 
tho People’s Collego virtually says, “ Earn a 
few dollars and acquire somo aptitude for 
Labor on any farm, in any workshop, then 
come hero and use your own muscles a few 
hours of each secular day to earn your own 
food, clothing and tuition, and so work your 
way through College, and graduate a ripe 
student and a skillful farmer, mechanic, or 
both.” Such is the “being’s end and aim” 
of this College—to blend Intellectual Cul¬ 
ture with manual Skill, and graduate hun¬ 
dreds annually who are alike qualified to 
lead as Farmers and Mechanics, or to serve 
as Teachers. Physicians, &c., &c. Such a 
College, for a few years in full operation, 
could not fail to elevate the standard of ca¬ 
pacity and efficiency in most Industrial call¬ 
ings by recruiting their ranks with men 
more intelligent and better grounded in tho 
principles and laws which underlie thoir sev¬ 
eral pursuits than the mass of our Mechan¬ 
ics, while educated as at present, ever can 
be. Not students only, hut the whole class 
to which they belong, wall be elevated and 
profited by by tho operation of tho People’s 
College. 
There is liberality and public spirit in tho 
State sufficient to endow such an institution 
within tho currout year. It can only fail 
through apathy, inatttention, ignoranco, or 
want of faith in each other among its friends. 
If the plan could ho this day expounded to 
every citizen of tho State, and each exhorted 
to aid it according to his ability and convic¬ 
tion of its merits, there would bo enough 
money subscribed before long to ensure the 
success of the enterprise. Reader ! consid¬ 
er yourself specially invited and urged to do 
what you can for the People’s College ! —

Tiiat was a good remark of Seneca’s when 
he said—“ Great is ho who enjoys his oarth- 
onware as if it were plate; and not less great 
is the man to whom all his plate is no moro 
than earthenware.”

THE PEREGRINE FALCON. 
The courage, power, docility and swift¬ 
ness of tho peregrine falcon rendered it a fa¬ 
vorite in the days of falcony. Tho game at 
which it was flown were herons, cranes, wild 
ducks, &c., which it took by soaring above, 
and then, making its swoop, that is, darting 
down impetuously upon them, boro them 
with irresistible violence to the earth. The 
appearance of this hawk excites universal 
panic among tho water-fowl. A notorious 
characteristic of the species is, that at the 
report of a gun it will sometimes come and 
carry off, from within thirty yards of the 
sportsman, a bird which he may havo just 
shot, with an assurance as surprising as un¬ 
expected. 
The following anecdote -null prove the 
enduring attachment of which this creature 
is capable. Tho late Colonel Johnson, says 
a recent writer, was ordered to Canada with 
his battalion, and being very fond of falcon¬ 
ry, to which he had devoted much time and 
expense, he took with him two of his favorite 
peregrines, as his companions across the 
Atlantic. It was his constant habit during 
tho voyage to allow them to fly every day, 
after “feeding them up,” that they might 
not bo induced to rake off' after a passing 
sea-gull, or wander out of sight of the ves¬ 
sel. Sometimes their rambles w’ero very 
wide and protracted ; at others they would 
ascend to such a height as to bo almost lost 
to the view of the passengers, who soon 
found them to bo an effectual means of re¬ 
lieving the tedium of along sea-voyage, and 
naturally took a lively interest in their wel¬ 
fare ; but, as thoy were in tho habit of re¬ 
turning regularly to tho ship, no uneasiness 
was felt during their occasional absence.— 
At last, ono evening, after a longer flight 
than usual, ono of tho falcons returned 
alone. Tho other—the primo favorite—was 
missing. Day after day passed away, and, 
howovor much he may' havo continued to 
regret his loss, Captain Johnson had at 
length made up his mind that it was irro- 
trie\4-ble, and that he should never see him 
again. 
Soon after the arrival of tho regiment in 
America, on casting his eyes over a Halifax 
newspaper, he was struck by a paragraph 
announcing that tho Captain of an American 
schooner had at that moment in his posses¬ 
sion a fine hawk, which had suddenly made 
its appearance on board his ship during his 
passago from Liverpool. The idea at once 
occurred to Captain Johnson that this could 
be no other than his much-prized falcon; so, 
having obtained immediate leave of absence, 
he sot out for Halifax, a journey of somo 
days. On arrival, he lost no timo in wait¬ 
ing on the commander of the schooner, an¬ 
nouncing the object of his journey, and re¬ 
questing that ho might be allowed to seo 
the bird ; but the American had no idea of 
relinquishing his prize so easily, and stoutly 
refused to admit of the interview, “guess¬ 
ing ” that it was very easy for an English¬ 
man to lay claim to another man’s property, 
but “ calculating ” that it was a great deal 
harder for him to got possession of it; and 
concluded by asserting in unqualified terms 
his entire disbelief in the whole story. Cap¬ 
tain Johnson, whoso object, however, was 
rather to recover his falcon than to pick a 
quarrel with the American, proposed that 
his claim to the ownership of tho bird should 
be decided by an experiment, which sovoral 
Americans who were present admitted to be 
perfectly reasonable, and in which their 
countryman was at last persuaded to ac¬ 
quiesce. 
It was this :—Captain Johnson was to bo 
ad‘,n'/«i-. 1 to an interview with tho hawk — 
whn, by tho way, had as yet shown no par- 
ticdlar partiality for any person since her 
arrival in the Now World, but, on tho con¬ 
trary, had rather repelled all attempts at 
familiarity — and if at this meeting she 
should not only exhibit such unequivocal 
signs of attachment and recognition as 
should induce the majority of the bystand¬ 
ers to believe that he really was her original 
master, but, especially, if she should play 
with the buttons of his coat, then tho Amer¬ 
ican was at once to waive all claim to her. 
The American wont up-stairs, and shortly 
returned with the falcon ; but the door was 
hardly oponod beforo she darted from his 
fist and perchod at once on the shoulder of 
her beloved and long-lost protector, evincing 
by every moans in her power her dolight 
and affection, rubbing her head against his 
cheek, and taking hold of the buttons of his 
coat and champing them playfully between 
her mandibles one after another. This was 
enough. The jury were unanimous. A 
verdict for tho plaintiff was pronounced.—

IMPORTANCE OF THE BAMBOO IN CHINA. 
It is one of the most valuable trees in 
China, and it is used for almost every con¬ 
ceivable purpose. It is employed in making 
soldiers’ hats, shiolds, umbrellas, soles and 
shoes, scaffolding poles, measures, baskots, 
robes, paper, pencil-holders, brooms, sedan- 
chairs, pipes, flower-stakes and trelliswork 
in gardens; pillows are mado of tho shav¬ 
ings ; a kind of rush cloak for wet whether 
is mado from tho leaves, and is called a So-o, 
or “garment of leaves.” On tho water it 
is used in making sails and covers for boats, 
for fishing rods, and fish-baskets, fishing 
stakos and buoys; catamarams are rudo 
boats or rather floats, formed of a few logs 
of bamboo lashed firmly together. In ag¬ 
riculture the bamboo is used in making ac- 
Ijueducts for conveying water to land; it 
forms part of the celebrated water-wheel, 
as well as of the plow, tho harrow, and oth¬ 
er implements of husbandry. Excellent 
water-pipes are mado of it for conveying 
springs from the hills, to supply houses and 
temples in the valleys with pure water. Its 
roots are often cut into the most grotesquo 
figures, and i:s stem finely carved into orna¬ 
ments for the curious, or into incense-burn¬ 
ers for tho tomples. The Ningpo furniture, 
tho most beautiful in China, is often inlaid 
with figures of pooplo, houses, temples, and 
and pagodas in bamboo, which form must 
correct and striking pictures of China and 
the Chinese. Tho young shoots are boiled 
and eaten; and sweetmeats are also made 
of them. A substance found in tho joints, 
called tabacbeer, is used in medicino. In 
tho manufacture of tea it helps to form tho 
rolling-tables, drying baskets, and sieves; 
and last, though not least, the celebrated 
chop-sticks, the most important article in 
domestic use, are made of it. 
However incredulous the reader may bo, 
I must still carry him a step farther, and 
toll him that I have not enumerated one- 
half of tho uses to which the bamboo is ap¬ 
plied in China. Indeed it would be nearly 
as difficult to say what it is not used for as 
what it is. It is in universal demand in the 
houses and in the fields, on water and on 
land, in peaco and in war. Through life tho 
Chinaman is almost dependent upon it for 
support, nor does it leave him until it car¬ 
ries him to his last resting-place on tho hill 
side, and even then, in company with the 
cypress, juniper, and pine, it waves over and 
marks his tomb. At the time of the last 
war, when the Emperor of China, very con¬ 
siderately, no doubt, wanted to conquer the 
English by withholding the usual supplies 
of tea and rhubarb, without which, he sup¬ 
posed, they could not continue to exist any 
length of time, we might have returned the 
compliment, had it not been possible for us 
to have destroyed all his bamboos. With 
all deference to the opinion of his celestial 
Majesty, the English might have survived 
the loss of tea and rhubarb, but wo cannot 
conceive the Chinese existing as a nation, 
or indeed at all, without tho Bamboo.—

SUSCEPTIBILITY OF ANIMALS TO ATMOS¬ 
PHERIC CHANGES. 
In the common sensations of life we per- 
ceive a distinction according as the exciting 
cause is agreeable or otherwise, whether it 
presents itself as ploasure or dislike, bodily 
strength or weakness, activity or fatigue, 
warm or cold, by pressure or tension of tho 
atmosphere, &c. By these combinations of 
sensations all animals, in which they are 
strongly developed, are enabled to anticipate 
atmospherical changes before the most deli¬ 
cate instruments give any indication of them, 
and in a minor degree the same is traceable 
in persons of great norvous susceptibility. 
In the animal world it extends not only to 
creatures of the land and of the air, but al¬ 
so to thoso which inhabit tho water. 
The actinias throw out their feeler’s and 
expand themselves when a continuance of 
fine weather is to be expected, but withdraw 
and contract themselves, even in a room, 
when a chango is impending. Tho muscles, 
before the approach of astorm, spin several 
new threads to secure thoir hold on tho 
rocks ; and leeches, riso to tho surface of tho 
water beforo rain. Spiders enlargo their 
webs during fine woathor, but spin only 
short threads; work seldom, or hide them¬ 
selves in cornors, during rain. Many boo¬ 
ties, by thoir active flight and humming 
sound, give tokens of the morrow’s bright¬ 
ness. Beforo rain hoes remain either in 
thoir hives or in tho neighborhood of them; 
and ants convey deep into thoir colls tho 
pupae which thoy expose to tho sun in fine 
weather. 
Tho leeches rise anxiously to the surface 
of tho water before a storm, and hence in 
Germany they aro called weather fish, and 
are kept in glasses, where by their uneasy 
movements they denoto a change twenty- 
four hours in advance, and from tho samo 
cause many fish forsake the sea for tho riv¬ 
ers ; tho groundling is roused into activity, 
tho silurus leaves tho deep water; and tho 
eels becomo lively. If tho lightning strikes 
the water the perch sickons and dies; tho 
snako and tho slow worm are restless before 
a storm ; toads leave thoir concealment be¬ 
fore rain ; ducks aro busily active, and swal¬ 
lows fly lower. 
Before a storm breaks forth many birds, 
such as tho crossbill and plover, are uneasy, 
and show themselves loss, and while any 
species of water-fowl hurry for shelter to 
the shore, the petrel, as it re oici ig in the 
coming conflict of tho elements , ashes forth 
and defies its power. If f atmosphere bo 
lowering in the morning. cons feed rap¬ 
idly and return to their cots; and the hare 
hides itself, but tho m< ] e comes to the sur¬ 
face of the ground, an d the squirrel seeks 
its nest and shuts its entrance. This sus¬ 
ceptibility of atmos > erical changes influen¬ 
ces also materially he natural economy of 
of some animals; the wild rabbit, for in¬ 
stance, whichf j od s chiefly in the evening or 
at night, comno forth at noonday, if the 
weather porten ( s rain, and loses its natural 
timidity in iti eagerness to procuro food.

CONSOLATION. 
There are moments when the spirit 
Sinks, too faint for human aid; 
When all hopes we may inherit, 
Are in dust and ashes laid. 
Voices dear to which we hearkened, 
Into utter silence fall, 
And the very sunshine darkened, 
Streams more faintly on the wall. 
Happy they who then can borrow 
Comfort from a higher life. 
And from some diviner sorrow, 
Call a calmness to their strife ; 
Who can hear a voice from heaven, 
Bidding all their anguish flee; 
“ Since no earthly help is given, 
Heavy-laden lean on me. 
“ Ye who labor, I have loved you, 
As you toil for others' good ; 
By their baseness I have proved you, 
By ingratitude withstood; 
Once for man my tears fell faster, 
Reaping scorn for my reward; 
Asks disciple more than master, 
Or the servant than his lord ?” 
“LET ME DIE QUIETLY.” 
“Be still—make no noise—let me die quietly .”—Vice 
President Kins'. 
“ Be still!” Tho hour of tho soul’s de- 
parture is at hand; Earth is fading from its 
vision ; Timo is gliding from its presence ! 
Hopes that cluster around young life, that 
swell in tho heart of manhood ; havo fallen 
from around it, like the forest leaves, when 
tho frosts of autumn havo chilled them unto 
death. Ambition, with its hollow promises, 
and pride, with its lofty look, have vanished 
away. Tho world, with its deceitfulness, 
pleasure, with its gilded temptations, aro 
gone, and alone, in utter destitution of all 
that time promised, it must start on its sol¬ 
itary journey across tho valley of the shad¬ 
ow of death ! 
“ Make no noise !” Lot tho tumult of life 
cease. Let no sound break tho soul’s com¬ 
munion with itself ero it starts on its re- 
turnloss flight. Trouble it not with tho 
accents of sorrow. Let the tear stand still 
on the cheek of affliction, and let not tho 
wailing of grief break tho solemn silence of 
tho death scene. Lot it gather tho accents 
that como from within tho dark shadows of 
eternity, saying to it, como homo. Tho 
whispering of angels aro in its ear; obstruct 
not their silvery voices by grosser sounds. 
A far off music comes floating to it by tho 
air. ’Tis tho sound of tho heavonly harps 
touched by viewless fingers—mar not tho 
harmony by tho discords of earth. 
“ Lot mo die quietly !” Tho commotions 
of life, tho struggles of ambition, tho strifo 
and warring with human destiny, aro over. 
Wealth accumulated must bo scattered; 
honors won must bo resigned, and all the 
triumphs that como within tho range of hu¬ 
man achievement bo thrown away. Tho 
past, with its trials, its transgressions, its 
accumulating responsibilities, its clinging 
memories, its vanished hopes, its rendering 
up to tho future its long account; disturb 
not tho quiet of that awful reckoning.— 
Speak not of fading momories, of affections 
whose objects perish in their loveliness, like 
tho flowers of spring, or wither in a slow de¬ 
cay. Talk not of an earthly homo whero 
loved ones linger, where a seat will soon be 
vacant, a cherished voice hushed forever, or 
of tho desolation that will soat itself by the 
hearth-stone. Tho soul is at peaco with 
God, lot it pass calmly away. Heaven is 
opening upon its vision. The bright turrets, 
the tall spires, the lofty domes of the Eter¬ 
nal City, are einorging from the spectral 
darkness, and tho glory of tho Most High is 
dawning around them. The white throne 
is glistening in tho distance, and tho white- 
robed angels are beckoning the weary spirit 
to its everlasting homo. What is life that 
it should be clung to longer ? What the 
joys of the world, that they should be re¬ 
gretted ? What has earth to placo beforo 
the spirit of a man, to tempt its stay, or turn 
it from its eternal rest.— Albany Register. 
THE VOICE OF CONSCIENCE. 
Wiiat does she say is tho great end of 
life ? Listen to her voice in the chamber of 
your own heart. She tells you that thero 
is ono stream that is puro, and that stream 
flows from tho throno of God ; hut ono aim 
is noble, worthy of an immortal spirit, and 
that is, to becomo tho friend of God, so that 
the soul may wing her way over tho gravo 
without fear, without dismay, without con¬ 
demnation. Thero is only ono path pass¬ 
ing over the earth, which is safo, is light, 
and which is honorable. It is that which 
Jesus Christ has marked out in his word, 
and which leads to glory. Let conscience 
speak when \ou aro tempted to wastoaday, 
or an hour, or to on it any known duty; 
ami s e will urge you, by all the high and 
holy motives of eternity, live for God, to 
givo your powers to him, to seek his honor 
in all that you do. 
“ Solidarite.” —This is a favorite word of 
Kossuth’s. It is French and has not yet 
found its way into our dictionaries. It ex¬ 
presses, generally, that the life of man is 
not exclusively the life of an individual, but 
life which he possesses jointly with his raco; 
that men in solido —soldered togethor, in 
one, if we may say so ; that each man is an 
indivisible, indissoluble part of the life of all 
men, and all men are invisible parts of each 
man. St. Paul gives its moaning thus:— 
“ For as we have many members in one 
body, so, we being many, aro one body in 
Christ, and every one members of another.” 
See also Ephesians, iv. 25., and other places. 
No word in English conveys what is ex¬ 
pressed by solidarite, or soldarity as it is 
now generally written.— The Una.
