SVXPAY MORNING.— Pec- 2S- ' s6f '
IRELAND.
We published in our issue of Tester
day, a charming little poem on the
subject ot Ireland's woes, from the pen
of that most charming of Southern
song writers, Miss Carrie Bell Sinclair-
It is a source of pride to us to be abb
to claim her ns a contributor to the col
unins of the Daily Pkkss ; nml we
hope that she may long continue to
grace its columns wiih hi r justly popu
lar compositions. But we are inclined
to the opinion that our lair friend is
a little too severe on “Merrie Old
England*’ in the |**eni to which »e
have alluded. It is true that Govern
ment might have taken sides wiih us in
our late struggle, and so might hranee
harp done— Frauce with more reason
nml protit than England even ; but
neither thought fit to do so, and we had
to tight almost against “a world in
arms.”
Our Irish fellow-citizens did their
duty in the premises, we cheerfully ad
mit; but they fought ns Southerners,
not Irishmen, while their brethren in
the Northern army were the bitterest
enemies and the most formidable foes
we had. In fact, if the Irish and the
Germans hud not aided the North as
thev did, we verily believe that we
should have seeurid our independence.
But that is neither here nor there. We
cordially acknowledge our gratitude to
those who aided us, and our forgiveness
to those who opposed us. The only
question then to be decided is, whether
the animadversions upon England are
just or not? Surely, a glance at the
condition of Ireland at this time will
show that there are people who are in a
worse political condition than are those
of that country at this day. Compare
our own with that ol Ireland, for in
stance, and what will be the result?
Not at all favorable to the Republic, or
injurious to the Kingdom.
The fact is, there is less oppression in
Ireland than there is in the United States,
in Poland, in Hungary, and other equally
civilized and enlightened countries. That
there are unjust mi l onerous laws may
be true, but these can be easier repealed
bv the wisdom and mediation of an
O’Connell than by the impetuosity and
rashness of an Emmett. For this reason
we have opposed the Fenian movement.
We have believed that it would only
serve to make Ireland truly unhappy,
through the presence of iroops, the sus
pension ot the habeas corpus, and the
proclamation of martial law.
The people of the South, with more facil
i ties and advantages than those ol Ireland
possess, have tried this business, and
failed. Let us not urge the latter on to
a like (oily. Rather let us, while endea
voring to harmonize our own distracted
country, seek, also, to harmonize dis
cordant elements elsewhere, and to
prevent, as far as in our power lies, rev.
olution and bloodshed in other lands-
Let us seek to unite “the boys in blue
and the boys in gray, with the hoys in
green and the boys in red,’’ and so by a
universal harmonizing of nations and
peoples, give to the poet that best and
most glorious of subjects, upon which
to string the pearls of verse—Peace and
Concord.
We have none but the kindliest of
feelings toward Ireland and Irishmen,
but we can't avoid the same feeling for
“the mother country,” and we hope
that the Emerald Isle will long glitter
with peace, happiness, and prosperity,
as one of the brightest jewels in Albion’s
Crown, and Albion proud and mindful
ot the glory of her “daughter by the
sea.”

Thk HounArs— Christmas Presents
and New F i ak s Gifts — The custom
of making presents at Christmas and
New Years is so old that even “the
oldest inhabitant” does not iecollect its
origin. Rut, old as it may be, it is just
s prevalent now as it ever was. And a
very pretty custom it is too. It enables
people to give some evidence of affection
for parents, regard for friends, admira
tion for sweethearts, kindness for wives,
love for children, respect for brothers
and sisters, and even appreciation for
editors. Everybody, of course, intends
to indulge in this very pretty custom,
and if they will just look over our adver
tising columns they will find a multitude
of places to go to and a variety of
articles to select from. In fact such a
variety that the only- difficulty is what to
choose. That, however, is not a very
serious difficulty, for a careful examin: •
tion will reveal something suitable to ail
the classes we have named, and suita e
t/ the pockets and purses of purchasers
also. There you will find, Bibles, Pray
er Books, Hymn Books, Photographic
Albums and Pictures, Stereoscopes and
Views, Ladies’ Companions, Reticules.
Writing Desks, Work Boxes, Autographic
Albums, Dry Goods of all kinds, Fancy
Goods of all descriptions, Jewelry, Cloth
ing, Hardware and House Furnishing
Goods, Raffles, Confectionaries, Toys,
and in short, all sorts of things suitable to I
the occasion. Do not, therefore, fail to
peruse our advertising columns this
morning, and add something to your
purchases for presents.

[For the Sunday I’anas ]
Seasonable Musings.
When Jehovah "launched creation into
being, all —everything was good, and
tilled with good: and although the trail
of the serpent' is very perceptible over
all now. vt the law of creation is the
law of toslayi and that law was Bemh
cence. .
Philosophy teaches that sorrow ts the
companion of folly; Christianity says
| that suffering is the child of mu; and
: whether we are disciples of one or the
I ot |, cri we cannot shut out the conviction
that in this both are correct, for by the
law of Bcniticence —the great, the etcr
nal law
“Where guilt i»,
Sorrow sbuli answer it '**
and if we as individuals suffer, if the
good that abounds, ahoundsnot torus, it
duos not follow that the good does not
ahuiiml, but that we are not worthy of
it. This is a hard less mto learn ; for
although it does not touch our pride,our
self ivsp -cl—and pride is self respect
—it does not touch our vanity, which
is the most ensitivo and yet most fatal
of all man’s vices,
As the thunderbolt, which strikes the
living tree, destroys all vitality, so that
no life remains in or germinates from
the remotest fibres of the root, so vanity
in man kills all, and lives in the dead
kennel of its own selfishness.
And this is our national vice and
curse!
. This train of thought is not pleas
ant; and yet one is sometimes driven to
reflection ; and as occasionally to the
most obscure minds glimpses of great
truths will be perceptible, as the ray ol
sunlight will pierce the heavy cloud, so
we think it has been with us, and we
feel an illumination which, however
unpleasant to our savoir voir, is yet a
great truth, which should be developed.
Why not? Neither you nor I have
anything else to do than speculate in
abstract thought. We have no con.
Crete world to live in and struggle with
now ; all we can do is to drift with the
current, it there be a current; and if
there be none, to lie quietly on the sur
face and stagnate ; or, if we would not
stagnate and grow green with a coating
of ai-.iinalcuko ephemeris, let us think,
and think boldly, and, what is more to
the purpose, think truly.
Without vanity, it may be said that
there has never been a people upon
whom Heaven has conferred as many
and as great beneficial blessings, and
as few and insignificant evils, as the
American. Is not that so?
Again: No people ever enjoyed these
good gifts of Beutficence to a greater
extent than the American, until the
last decade. Is not that so ?
No one is bold enough or foolish
enough to say that these good things
are now enjoyed. Why is this ? One
will say, because of the demagogues;
another will assert, it is because of the
slave question ; another will say, it
is she tariff; another that it Is
because of corruption in high places.
It is true the demagogues are a curse,
and the slave question has been agitated
unwisely, and the tariff may not be
profitable to all, and the corruptions of
power have been disgraceful; but all
t .ese combined w ill not solve the ques
t.on. These float upon the surface, and
truth lies below the surface. Let the
real cause be revealed, and it is vanity
national and individual. We are
much like a man we once knew who,
having estimated his property and bal
anced his books, declared himself worth
one hundred and fifty thousand dollars.
Being so wealthy, he immediately
changed his heretofore economical mode
of life ; refurnished his house with rich
and gay furniture, fed of the daintiest
viands, set up his equipage,and told his
family to hold up their heads. This
gay life continued for a few years, and
then a struggle was observed ; finances
failed, credit, was lost, and in sorrow and
broken hearted, the man died; his estate
was insolvent, and his family in want
Why ? Simply from the fact that he had
deceived himself. He wished to be
rich; he desired the life, and it may be
the death, of the rich ; he had acquired
some wealth, when vanity told him to
put a quadruple estimate upon what h e
had, and he would be in fact that which
he desired ; he did so, and bankruptcy
followed. It was the natural result.
We, Americans, are great boasters-
We boast of the richness ol our soil, of
the salubrity of our climate, of the
freedom we enjoy, or abuse—and, to
say truth, upon these even the language
of hyperbole can scarcely speak falsely;
but we have gone farther, and equally
boasted of our civilization, of our honor,
of our enlightenment, of our Christianity,
and we have talked of these, and written
of these, and desired these, until our
vanity lias told us we were rich in them,
when, in fact, we were very poor. This
is not a very pleasant truth—but it i.s a
truth—and while we suffer from the
effect of the falsehood, we may as well
look truth in the face, and, if possible,
make ourselves familiar with it. He
who shall east from him the delusive
tinsel of vanity of opinion, and the
egotistical thought that he is not in
cluded iu the number of the fallible
and the erring; who shall measure
himself by the standard erected by the
Son of Mary on the Mount, and, laying
lowly at His feet, shall earnestly investi
! gate tbe great moral and natural truths
of life, shall learn the secret; and he
shall tb , find that the worship of
falsehood is a deadly curse—but if, in
his own heart, lie shall erect the altar
of truth and there offer his oblations,
the curse will pass away, at-.tl rich
blessings reveal themselves in multi
tudes around him.
—Wit should l.e the ornament of the
mind, not its furniture.
—Call any man be faithful in much
who is faithful in little? Never, never.

AUSTRALIAN CRYSTAL,
SINGLE AND DOUBLE VISION
SPECTACLES
77/e Only Perfect lens in Existence!
Superior to any other in use-eonnruot.s
in aoccordanee with the science an 4 philoso o4 *
of nature in the peculiar form of a i.oyr 1 v/Y
CONVEX ELLIPSIS. Admirably adapted tr
the Organ of Sight, and perfectly natural 0
the eye, affording altogether the best artifiri.l
help to tbe human vision ever invented
Sold only by the Pr»fe*or of Optics and
i C [©'*tacle Manufacturer.
THE ADVANTAGES of these
over all others, are—
-Ist. The only true Lens known, bcieg p„.
fectly free from chromatic light, so well known
to be the cause of injury to the vision and
which makes tbe change from Spectacles to
Glasses of stronger powers, so often required
while both near and distant objects are seen
with equal facility through the same Glasses
2d. Can be worn with perfect ease for any
length of time at one sitting, gH n - astonish
ing clearness of vision, particularly” by can'iii.
or other artificial light—comfort to the Sr.e
tacle wearer hitherto unknown.
3d. When the eve? ache or pain through the
action of a bright light, such a, i, reflected
from snow, sunny weather, white paper, and
in reading, writing, or sewing, or vivid colored
bodies, these Lenses, by softining the rays,
effect a most agreeable sensation and give
great relief.
4tb. In all nervous affections of the eves
causing dull and startling pains in the eye
ball or temple, appearance of luminous
and dork spots in the atmosphere, aching
or feeling like sand in the eye, the disturbed
nerves are quieted and soothed.
sth. Ground by peculiar machinery, got up
at great cost, mathematically calculated cj
prc.-sly for the manufacture of this Lens, so as
to produce it with the true spherical aceuracv,
and its focus is at the exact centre, a poini
of vital importance, and which no other Less
possesses.
6th. Proof of Superiority over the oh! kind
of Spectacles. They are used exclusively at
all the hospitals for diseases of the eye, in
Berlin, Prussia, and elsewhere.
TESTIMONY OF RECOMMENDATIONS
From Medical gentlemen. Professors of the
highest Opthalmic talent in Augusta, Ga., and
in the Union :
Augusta, Oa.. December Sth, USfi.
I have examined the Glasses of Dr. Bern
hardt, and find them of good quality. His
testimonials arc very numerous and exceed
ingly flattering. L. A. DUGAS, M. D.
Avgusta, Ga., Dec. 7, ISOfi.
I do most willingly bear my testimony in
favor of the superiority of the Australian
Crystal—single and double vision spectacles—
over all other kinds. They arc constructed
upon the best established and understood prin
ciples of optics, and their adaptation to the
hit ran eye in its different conditions of vision
is so perfect, ns to render sight easv without
effort. In my opinion, none others should hi'
used, since the eyes once used to those do not
seem to grow old, and by having n focus at
any point of the surface, they appear tore
store the eyes to their youthful energy.
LEWIS I). K iID, M. I>.
Augusta, Ga. Dec. 7. 1566.
I have examined a great variety of Glasses
manufactured by Professor M. Bernhardt, end
in justice to tbe Professor, must sav that his
Glasses are of a superior quality, adapted to
meet the wants of almost every eye. where tho
vision is in any way imperfect. The Professor
selected for me a pair of his Australian Crystal
Glasses, which are of a very superior quality
and workmanship, rendering vision very dis
tinct, almost as perfect as in youth. I yield
this testimony in favor of the Professor’s
Glasses most cucerfallv.
0. C.' PRITCHARD, M. B.
Augusta, Ga.. Dee. 7, fSfifi.
I very cordially recommend Prof. M. Bern
hardt to all who may require Glasses.
DkSAUSsUBE ford, m. and.
Augusta, Ga., Dec. 7, ISfifi.
We have examined the Lenses of Professor
Bernhardt, and consider them superior to any
we have seen. They are admirably adapted not
only to improve the imperfections of impaired
sight, lint to relieve the weariness of vision
which constant study produces. Many of the
Glasses are of new and ingenious contrivance.
We cordially recommend the Professor to all
those who require scientific optical assistance.
H. H. BIGNON, M. 1>„
JOHN L. COLEMAN, M. D.
W. li. DOUGHTY, M. D.
WM. 11. CLARKE,
GREGORY DUGGAN.
Augusta, Ga., Pee. 8, 1866.
I have examined the Glasses of Dr. M.
Bernhardt, of Europe, and have fried them.
They are very remarkable for their beauty of
woiUmanship. and for their power to assist tho
vision. Dr. 41. Bernhardt has made Optics
the study- of bis life, and is evidently most
thoroughly acquainted with the science.
He is a native of Berlin, Prussia, and has
studied there, but has tor several vears been a
resident of New \ork. The diseased and aged
will find great relief from the use of his Glasses.
I have seen numerous testimonials to the ex
cellence of his Glasses, and to his skill as an
Optician, and I would recommend him to all
whose vision is impaired either through age or
disease. JOSEPH R. WILSON.
Pastor First Presbyterian Church.
Savannah, Ga., Not. 29. 1866.
I hereby certify (bat Mrs. Davenport Iras
been affected with Amoronsis ter about twa
months ; it became almost complete. On the
*d of November last, according to mv ewn
advice, she placed herself under tho charge of
Dr. M. Bernhardt. Her vision has rapidly
improved Sho can now read small print
with or without glasses.
J URIAH HARRIS, AI.D.
I fully endorse what Dr. Harris has abov,
said ' W. N. WARING, M. D.
Savannah, Nov. 26, 1566.
Professor M. Bernhardt, Optician and Oculist:
I cheerfully state to you that a further ac
quaintance, with you and your most excellent
Glasses, has confirmed my first impressions as
to your skill and their superiority over tho
general run. and I recommend all whoso
vision is in any way impaired, as mine unfor
tunately is, to avail themselves of your science.
Ivospcctfully, yours,
R- I>. ARNOLD, M. D.
