No. XVI
The World is a book—of which ho who has
seen no other country than his own, has read
but a single page."
So says a French proverb ; and it
may further be said, that the _travel
er who visits Europe without seeing
Itleland, has certainly missed one
page, and that an importaztt one.
The general idea of the Emerald
Isle and its inhabitants is often-asso
ciated with_that of turbulence, want,
and disorder—so that it is frequently
omitted from the programme of a
tour abroad : while its fine and re
markably varied scenery—the oppor
tunity it affords for antiquarian re
search—the truly original character,
disposition and humor of its people
—the interest connected with its pe,
culiar political and, social condition
=these, with various other features
and characteristics of the country,
combine to render it In fact a plea
sant and profitable region for travel.
The Irish people will generally be
found courteous and accommodating
to the stranger, and especially so to
an American ; frequently intelligent,
and " ever ready to communicate "
—sometimes, it is true, to an extent
beyond actual knowledge.
The cultivation of the soil, especial
ly in the south of Ireland, is bat lim
ited—embracing throughout its whole.
extent not more than one-fifth part.
The production of beef and butter is
extensive, and the quality excellent ;
but the most of the producers are,
alas! too poor to afford the use of
'such luxuries at home, and by far the
'greater portion finds a foreign mar
ket. As beasts of draft or burden,
the donkey and the horse are in gen
eral use, to the exclusion of oxen.
The plough is generally of wrought
iron. Its general introduction into
use I specially recommend to the ad
vocacy of the " society for the Pre
vention of Cruelty to Animals," as it
is of such extraordinary length that
.the utmost stretch of the imagination
can hardly render it possible for the
ploughman) to reach his team with
either whip or goad. The axe is pro
vided with a remarkably lcng bit, and
a perfectly straight handle—like that
used for the scythe (as I afterwards
observed) in the West of Engliaal
The handle of the Irish scythe, how
ever, branches out into two, some- ,
thing like the letter A, with a nth on
each projection. While it has been
dogmatically asserted upon high tind
learned authority that " a spade's a
spade," the Irish spade is in fact but
the half of one longitudinally—Ahe
blade extending out upon one side
only of the handle. Barns for the
storing of hay or grain are seldom to
be seen : the crops being neatly and
securely stacked, with a thatched
roof, and in form like that of a build-
ing.
The humid atmosphere and the
mildness of the winters would seem
specially favorable to the cultivation
of fruit ; yet rarely, if ever, is an or
chard to be seen,* and although wild
fruits and berries are said to bthibun
dant, they are seldom found in flit')
market or on the table. Limestone
is found in abundance in most parts
of the country. ' It is often burnod
'Passing one day pp the lino Eausbonrg St.
Honore, in Paris, I chanced to form some se-
iinaintance with an English gentleman of Qoa(
ker proclivities—a teetotaller for 27 years
(thereunto converted by an American preach
er)—non-resistant in .policy—not believing- . in
written discourses from the pulpit—vegetarian
and Gratiamite—the owner of a place at Bou
logne, and of an interest in shipping at Liver
pooL Touching upon the subject of Ireland, I
alluded to the absence of fruit orchards through
the country. With a lack, as I thought, of due
charity, ho maintained the idea that it was
wholly owing to the general proPensity for
plunder, rendering the idea of them cultivation
there absurd—as connected with any proba
bility of the planter's even sharing in the pro. .
ducts. Such a supposition world hardly agree
with statements made to me in regard to the
general security of peatetacks Indsimilorprep!
erty exposed to pillage. At the same time,
would it notte difficult to vouch for thosemeri
ty of the fireffruif orchard in any country, un
less surrounded by the high walls within which
English and Irish proprietors genersliyimmure

ing hi the finest of salmonand other

towns and cities connected by finely

great outlay in edifices both public
and private,--its interior surface dot
ted not only with majestic ruins of
- .7castles and abbeys, but slat) with fine
modern residences—its climate re
markably salubrious and delightful ;
yet with these and • other. important
advantages, , i natural and artificial,
-there is, as everybody knows, " some
thing rotten " in Ireland, as was once
said of Denmark. " Sure and it would
be the finest country in the world to
live in—if a. man cortld only Use there,
do you see !" The great mass of her
inhabitants lack the feeling of inde
pendence which can alone give rise
to, successful industry and enterprise;
—the small extent of their uncertain
tenures is fatal to improved culture
and the true idea of home. While
the cottager ekes out a scanty liveli
hood from, the few acres for which he
probably pays an exorbitant rent, his
children (frequently, of course, con
stituting his most abundant posses
sions,) are growing up, each to need
a eeparate allotme nt—and where shall
they. find-it? Great scarcity -of . em
plained of ; even at the .shilling a day
which ordinary labor (and that but
occasionally) commands in the south
of Ireland. Many were the enquiries
made; and deep the interest evident
ly felt, concerning - America. ; many
the wishes expresa.,ed - for the means
necessary to go thither. Ours seems
the land of promise to which the
waiting eyes of Erin are ever turned.
I The amount of emigration within the
last few 'yeari has been large, and
I many of those who leave their native
soil being not of the lowest class, pub
lic attention becomes of late More in
terested- in a consideration cop.,, • the
probable results of an exodus which
is, and has been, reducing the popu
lation of Ireland's aides, and vacating
through the country many, a row Of
straw-thatched cottages. 'Brit, for all
parties there, in the existing state of
things, it is undoubtedly desirable
that it should be so. The final re
sult, as affecting our own national
prospects and institutions, remains to
be seen.
In regard to the terms and elandi-. 1 ,
tions of land leases in Ireland, the
Scotch and English, who, as I found,
were: not. generally disposed to be
lenient in their judgment of the Irish'
people, state that the-system therekst
the same with their own : claiming
that the lack of thrift with their neigh
bors of the Green Isle is only the re
sult of their lack of industry. But
Gansrose—who should - certainly be
good anthority—remarks thus in his
Parliamentary speech of Felletuury
15, 1870 :
"Irish land tenures are widely different from
_those of England and Scotland." •
He adds further :
"The Irish landlord usually differk from lila
tenant in politics and religion, and seldom lives
on his estate. The tenant was bound to
provethe land; but was often deprived of the
crops be planted. 'The people believed that the
soil Was - their ern, and that it bad been taken
kola diem by conquest and confiscation— Dur
ing the
- last ten years; while the value of labor
had remained 'stationary, the cost of livrng bad.
increased and the progrcia of Ireland bad been
checked."
Mil
- Even supposing the mode of ten

that if in England and Scotland the
masses 9f the'people had' no otker
resources than from the land they
themselves rent and .cultivate, their

advantage of the former would seem

its natural contraction, the substance
of the muscle will gradually waste .
away, become smaller , in size, and; in

the way that the milscles of the chest

with the thin, attenuated appearance
of these muscles in Women who have

Wuv JEwEssv.-*ItE BEMATFUL.—
Chatearibriand gives a fanciful but
agreeable reason for the fact that the
Jewish women are so much hand
somer than the Men of. their nation.
Ho says Jeivesses have escaped . the
.curse4W r hich alighted on their fathers,
husbands and sons. Not a Jewess
was to be seen among the crowd of
papsts and rabble who insulted, the
Sou of God, scourged Him, cro wned
Him with thorns, and subjected Him
to the infamy and the: agony of the
cross. The women of Jndea believed
in the . Savior, and assisted and sooth
ed afllicfion. A woman of Beth
any poured on His bead 'precious
ointment, which she kept in a vase
of alabastei. ° The sinner anointed
His feet with perfumed oil, and_ wip
ed-them with her hair. Christ, on
`His part, extended mercy_ to , the Jew
esses. Ho raised from the dead' the
- widow of Nein and Maitha's broth

Boys AND Suons.—The French pee-
pie carry the-practice of smoking .to
a degree of perfection which_ c,onsti
tutes it ahnost a fine art. The men '
'smoke, the women smoke, and the
boys smoke _whether the girls and
babies smoke or not we do not know,
but they have so few - of/them that , it
does not perhaps make much differ
ence whether they do or not. The
effect of smoking; on boys, is said by
inediearwriter, who has been
investigating the subject, to be most
favorablelo;the development, not of
a manly, noble, healthy character,
but of pallor, anemia, palpitation of
the heart, a diminution of the . nor
mal number of red globules, dyspep
sia, wantof intelligence, and a liking
more or less decided for strong drink.
This information must bo 'decidedly
gratifying to tho , satNins of science
who have so often proved tobaCco to
'to so-wholesome a narcotic.. Added
to formercfidence, it will - make an
=argument so strong that. even
: that
enthusiast laborer against its axe;
George Trask, will
,perhaps see the
folly of doing any more, and give up
his work of distribnling tracts broad
tast .to induce the boys - to let tobae
-co alone. 01 course, they will not let
it alone. Its effect on French boys
is : incontestable. What better evi
dence do they want • that they can
Use it? And then again, this same
authority has noticed a very Strong
objection to breaking off. - He says,
- I 'Those .who - abandon the prastice
before any lesions are pro
duced perfectly recover their health."
This- is unfortunate. Why should
boys wish-to be so unlike other peo
ple as to be .he'_althy? If they are
sickly they ean c be petted and pam
pered, escape werk., and die, and go
out of this naughty world early. But
serionsly, Why do boys ever smoke?
Because the example is set them by
_their elders. They are theimost per
fect imitators in the world. They
like to try their hand at whatever
they see others doing. Set them a
good example' and they will follow it.
Set them a bad One and they will fol
low that, too. 2
A. RIVER IN TILE OCEAN.—There is a,_
river in the OCean. In the severest:
drouths it never fails, and in the
mightiest floods it never overflows.
Its banks and its bottoms are of cold
water, while its current is warm. The
Gulf of Mexico is its - fountain, and
its month is the Arctic Sias. It is
the Gulf Stream.: There is in the
world no other so majestic flow of
water. Its,,current is More `
rapid'
than the Miisissippi or the Amazon,
and volume more than a thousand
times greater. Its waters as far out .
as Carolina coasts, are of an indigo
blue.l They are so distinctly mark
e(l, that the line of-junction with - the .
comialan
,ka water may be, traced
by the' eye. Often, one-half of the
vessel maybe perceived floating in
the Gulf Stream water, while the oth
er half is in the common water of the
sea, so sharp is 91Er line and the want
of affipitY'-between these waters; and
'such too, the reluctance, so to speak,'
on the part of- those of, the: Gulf
, Stream, to mingle with the waters of
the sea.
