Shakspeare (or somebody else) has
said, "It is better to be born lucky
than to be born rich."
This is one of those brilliant ideas
that Still bear repetition. I repeated
it myself on my arrival at the Victo
ria Hotel in the city of Cork, Ireland.
For thereupon, I found myself just
in the nick of time to accept an invi
tation to the only vacant seat in a
carriage otherwise occupied by a
pleasant company of ladies and gen
tlemen from the steamer, just ready
to depart on an excursion of six miles
up the valley of the Lea to the- fa
mous old
CASTLE OF BLARNEY
—lf, as I have intimated; some
fault may be found with the charac
teristics of Cork itself,. the bgauty of
the country around affords• a most
agreeable contrast: The 'novelty of
much that we saw, of course - lent its
charms to a first view. The hard,
white, and admirably smooth- thor
oughfares had but one unpleasant ,
feature—the dust from their macad
amized limestone. Most of the pri
vate grounds for some distance out
of the city were enclosed by walls - of
dressed stene, surmounted by beau
tiful shrubbery, masses of ivy and
shade trees all of unsurpassed ver
dure, and admirable hedgerows, of
holly and thorn. The foliage, wheth
er of oak or ivy, seems here strangely
luxuriant, dense and vigoroub, owing
to the natural moisture of the atmos
phere in this, the so Well-named Em
erald Isle. The case is the same, as
we had occasion to observe, with the
rich meadows and pastures, upon
whose shamrocks and Irish daisies;
herds of the finest cows and other
cattle ! were luxuriating, affording
probably as fine butter and beef as
are to be found in any part of the
world. •
I was lunch surprised at the
_,great
numbers of crows and similar birds
to be seen here, as they screamed and
fluttered amid the fields : whose vo
racityrit seemed to me, must prove
wholly fatal to the culture, if attempt
ed, of any such crop as Indian corn
or the like. I could not, however,
ascertain that they were regarded so
destructive as with ms,„ perhaps not
arriving here at the degree of smart
ness and lawlessness - displayed by
their transatlantic cousins. Then,
too, the people are. not allowed the
use of fire-arms wiihOut the payment
of a heavy license, been for shooting ,
upon their own grounds ; and the
most of the Irish, by-the-by, if they
shoot at all in Ireland, must shoot on
somebody else's grounds, having none
of-their own.
Many varieties of the Crow family.
may be noticed here, as well as
throughout the British Isles, known
variously as jackdaws, crows, rooks,
and ravens, hovering about the fields
or chattering and = screaming amid
the-lonely turrets .. of some ivy-clad
ruin. .It is prObable that but few
Americans could relish crow pie even
in idea: while in Ireland and &g
-land the rooks, or voung
this mode are generidly considered
delicacy. —Having neither sought no
enjoyed any opportunity of testing
the merits of such a dish, it would
not be worth the while to express an
opinion merely of prejudice in regard
thereto.
Along the banks of the Lea, whose
bard' and shallows are often rendered
picturesque by the gracefully over
hanging trees, beneath whose shade
frequent herds'of cattle seek a refuge
froni the summer heat, we occasion
ally noticed a stray disciple of Izaak
Walton in leisurely pursuit of the'
fine salmon said to abound in its clear
Waters. Passing anon beneathAhe

Descending again into the valley,

our right, its still majestic though di

the surrounding trees—massive, grim

since, and only taken after a desper

Traversing - the footpath which led
across the intervening meadow, we
were met at the gate of the outer wall
enclosing the grounds by an old man
whose prerogative it was to show
vjsitors through the famous "Groves
of .Blarney,' long celebrated by Irish
-poets for their beauty. Ladies and
gintehnen," said he, "these are the
Groves of Blarney—but sure, and
yell find no blarney here !"—a state
ment which might well be considered
somewhat questionable,
.so numerous
and incredible are the wonderful tra
ditions recounted at this, as well as
most other points of interest in Ire

Instead of a description of my own,
I will give thrit of the old Irish poet,
CROKEIt, representing these grounds
as they were in his day :

—The old Castle of Blarney is'be
lieved to have been built betnyen 400
and 500 years since, by the royal race
of the McCarthys. The massivenessi
height and 'extent of what are now
partially ruins (still conveying, how
ever, to the explorer a fair idea of the
original style and uses of their Ye
rions portions), are very impressive
and grand. Nor is the effect by any
means lessened by the loneliness of
these ancient towers, once the scene
by turns of bloodshed and revelry,
now only for the most part inhabited
.by the cawing rook and the solitary
oirl, who build - their nests far up
amid the ivy-clad turrets. It is left
to imagination alone, as one ascends
its winding and well-worn stairways
of stone, and surveys-its ample; apart

the rude warriors who once inhabit

marrow apertures of its epplr walls

It was well said by an ancient
author that the true poet "born,
not made." - Yet, if any external agen
cy could breathe a spirit of: poesy in
to the mind, I am confident it must
be the atmosphere of Ireland. The
harp is her _national emblem and,
to say nothing 'of Brian Boroihme
and Tom Moore, her ancient• kings
had each their bard or lunper (Cor
responding iiinnewhat to the Modern
poet laureate), by whom the hiiitori
cal traditions of the country were to
a great extent not only presereed, but
probably also embellished. Ossian,

comparison with *hose poetry Napo
lecrn declared the Iliad of Homer to
be but trash, was (if anything) quite
as much Irish as Scotch, being a des-
Ceiidant of the great Fin 3feCont=
I almost felt poetic myself while
breathing the air of Ireland. • '
But we bad a most striking proof
also nf the correctness of this idea, in
the case of the "fine old Irish gen
tleman, all of the Olden time
patriarch of our ship's cabin—to
whom I have before alluded.
He accompanied our excursion to
the Castle ' • and on this, hisifirst day
in. Ireland after so long an absence,
nearly all his remarks were made- in.
'poetical couplets. The iiieasuiv, it is
trim, was not in every instance exact;
but the rhymes commanded general
admiration. I could not learn that
during his absence of tifty:seven
years from his native soil, he Imd at '
any time manifested any special po
etic taste or aspirations ; yet no soon;.
er did he, even at his advanced period
of life, again inhale his native breezes,
thin an involuntary. versifying ten
dency seemed to be amused within
him.
My theory is, that in his early days
ho must have felt to some extent, the
same impulse ; and perhaps had he
spent his days in Ireland, he might
have been a poet of the first water—
instead of becoming a tntllionaire in
America. _ C. C. P.

(The following address was delivered at 'a

dering the inestimable - prerogative
of cmitrage dangerous to the perpe

accounts of the perpetration *of hor

arouse not from our insensibility to
batter down the fortresses that pro
tect the author of these crimes and
national frauds. Some say, " Wait

themselves this demon ;will become
less popular and more easily .con

it just to ourselvewand coming pos

your hill-tops, npheaving fortihett

your neighbors, friends, sons, daugh

inactive, pacified with the vain hope
of better opportunities to crush this
bloody foe, when within the reach of
your naked eye he is hourly strength
ening his ranks and unfolding the
black embleth of darkness and bru

mourning over the death of thousands
of her noblest sons, who fell iu the
great rebellion, battling for home and
country, and it is well ; but what
mourning would fill this land, if e very
year should behold another rebel
lion, like intemperance, that repeats
every year! This carnage is going
on continually in every town and
hamlet. Every eye sees its woes and
every ear catches - its groans. The
wounded are too numerous to' ount.
Who has not been 'touched with the
fiery fingers of this monster ? Ah !
could we behold the many thousands
annually delivered over unto death
by this legalized traffic, collected to
gether upon one field of slaughter,
and one deep and wide burial-place,
—could we behold the full assem
blage of all widows, parents and chit.
dren, whose hearts have been pierced
by their death, surrounding the aw
ful graves of these victims and load
ing the winds With groans of woe and
misery--could we behold all this, the
people would arise in their majesty
and power, thundering forth to the
rumseller, in tones that would frighten
the bravest, " Cease the distribution
of this sin-creating and•soul-deatroy
ing fluid!" and across the law that
now upholds this practice would be ,
drawn, with a pen dipped in the
blood it now declares legally produc
ed; a mark that would forever pro
nounce the sale of ardent spirits un
protected and illegal, Then away
with the sophistry and nonsense of
these men that advoCate precrastina
tion in eradicating from the statute
this obnoxious law. The people are
•groaning with disectse and remorse
under the reign of this king of woe
and wretchedness, and would, if per
mitted, use the ballot in banishing
him from the land. All this farcical
talk about the people not being evil
ficiently enlightened to ensure the
adoption of prohibitory laws is de
void- of reason and ,truth, and ema
nates from partisans chafing for some
lucrative political position, who fear
the reformation would diminish their
friends and defeat their selfish efforts.

this morning, and order a pair of
boots, of which I stand in need: I
always make it a rule nevar to pat
ronize those who appear to be run
ning behind-hand. There is general
ly some risk iri helping those . Who
won't help themselves."
"Very tree; and as my wife desir
ed me to look at a pair of shoes for
her this morning, I will follow your
example and call upon Smith. He is
no great favorite of mine, howevei—
an idre, quarrelsome fello"
"And yet he - seems to te. getting
along in the world," answered the
former, "and I our Willing to- give
him a lift. But I have an errand at
the butcher's. I will not detain you."
At the butcher's- they met. the
neighbor who was the subject of their
previous conversation He certainly
presented a rather shabby appearance
and in his choice of meat there was
the obserintion of. Farmer White.
After pas Sing retuarks, tho.poor shoe
maker took his departure, and the
butcher opened his account book:with
anxious air, saying as he charged the
bit of . meal:
"I believe it is time neighbor
Thompson and I came to a settle,
went. Short acConnts make long
friends."
"No time to lose, I .should say,"
replied the farmer.
"Indeed! have yon heard of any
trouble, neighbor White ?"
" No, I have heard nothing; bur n
man has the use of.. his eyes, -pm
know; and I never trust any one with
money who is evidently going doWn
hill." •
"Quite right; and I will send in
my bill this evening. I have only de.;
layed on account of the sickness the
poor man has had .in his faniily all
winter. I suppose ho must have run
behind a little ; but stilt - I - -must • take
of number one." . •
." Speaking of Thompson, are ?"
observed a bystander, who appeared
to take an interest in the • conversa
tion-. "Going doivn hill, is ho?: .I
mast look out for myself, then. He
owes me quite a snug sum for leather.
I did intend to give ' him another
month's credit, but on the whole I
guess the money will he safer in my
own pocket." ' -
Here the four worthies separated,
each with his mind - filled with the af
fairs of neighbor Thompson, the
probability that he was going down
-hill, and the best way to give him n
push. •

had been gaztng on the passers-by,

shoemaker's wife, coming up the steps
with a parcel in her hand. She wants
me to do her work, but I think it
would be a venture. ' Every one says
they aro running down hill, and it is
a chance if ever I get my pay."
" She has always paid 1113 prompt-_
1y,7 was the reply. •
"True; but that was in the days of
her prosperit7 . I cannot afford to
run any risk
The entrance of Mrs. Thompson
prevented any further conversation.
She was evidently surprised at the
refusal of Mrs. Bennett to do any
work for her; but as great pressrire
of business , was pleads(' as an excuse
there Acia nothing to be said, and she
soon took her leave.. Another appli
cation proved equally unsuccessful.
It was strange how busy the village
dressmakers had suddenly become.

makers wife met the teacher of a
small school in the neighborhood,
where two of her children attended.
- "Ali; Mrs. Thompson, I am glad
to see yon," was the - salutation. fl
was about calling- at your house. Would it be convenient to settle our
account this afrernoon?"
" Our account !," was the surprised
reply. Surely the term has nqt yet
expired ?
"Only half of it, but my present
rule is to collect
-my money at any
time.. It is a plaziwhich many teach
ers ,have adopted of late."
" I was not aware that - there had
been any change in your rules, and I

A. little iliscomposed . by her inter

cery to purchaseaome trifling articles
offamily stores. '
"I have a little account against
you; would it be convenient for -Mr.
Thompson to settle it this evening ?".
asked the polite shopkeeper, as he
produced tile desired article.
" Is it his usual time for settling ?"
was again the surprised inquiry.
" Well, not exactly; but money' is'
very tight just miw„and I am anxious
to
. get all that is due me. In future
I intend to keep short accounts.
There is the little bill, if you would
like to look at it. I will call; around
this evening. It is but a small af
fair."
"Thirty dollars is no small sum to
us just now t "- thought Mrs: Thoznp ,
son, as she Furled her way towards
home, musingly. "It seems strange
all these payments mast ho met just
now, while We arc struggling to re.
cover from the heavy eipenses of the
winter. I cannot understand it"
:Her perplelity was increased by
finding her ht3lmnd With two bills in
his hand, and a countenance express
ive of anxiety and concern. _
" Look, Mary,"' he said, as•she en
tered, " hero are i twci unexpected calls
for mbney—cine from the doctor, arid
the other froin the dealer in leather,
from Whom I purchased my .last

misfortune ,never comes singly, and '
if a. Man gets a little 13ehind-hand,

." Just so," replied the wife; "the 1
neighbors think we are going down
hill, and every one is ready to give us
a push. Here are two more bills for
you,. one; from the grocer, 'and the'
other from the teacher:" -

the door, , and the appearance of a lad
who presented a neatly folded paper,
and disappeared. •
