In Once a Week we find this glowing ribute to the patriotism and solí saeriice of the Nurth ! Open, manifest, indisputable above everythine, 'va the noble spirit of ihe people at large, now thnt the fii-Bt burst of enthusiasm would have been over il' t liad not been gennine, and at tlio moment when the whole signilicanco oí he war ia dreokraod. They know now vhat loss or ruin of fortune most of hem must incur; they havo feit some, hing of' thetoiland privation of ïriiliary service; nad the amonnt of' need' eafl, wanton, exusperating slanghtsr nigbt well sieken the general heart. - Yet there isöo ilinehiug.

This is the iroadest, plainest, weightiest, itnd most uilliant fact of all that strikes the eye. Í
