MSS PLISINTRY.

Miss Owenson, in her very popular novel of The
Wild Irish Girl, obliges a young English Noblentan
to do justice to MO tnisreprhented country, in a
letter to his friend, in terms so ingenuous and con-
genial to the feelings of every unprejudiced person :
that we trust we shall be excused for ttaascribing
the passage :
44 When I insisted on my host receiving a trifle,
I observed poverty struggling with pride, and grati-
tude superior to both; be at last reluitlantly consented
to be prevailed on, by my assurance of forgetting to
call en them again when I passed that way, if I were
sow denied. I was followed for several paces by
the whole family, who parted with, as they re-
erieed me, with blessings ; for their courtesy, upon
all occasions, seems interwoven with their religion,
and not to be pieus, in their forms of etiquette, is not
to be polite. Benevolent and generous beings I whose
hard labour just gives what life regains, but
gives no more ;" yet who, with the ever ready
smile of heartfelt welcome, are willing to share
that hard earned little with the weary traveller
whom chance eonduas to your threshold, or the so-
litary wanderer whom necessity throws .upon your
bounty; how did my heart smite me. while I received
the cordial rights of hospitality from your hands,
for the prejudices l had hitherto nurtured against
your eharader. But your smiling welcome, and
parting benediaion, retributed my error, in the
feelings of remorse they awakened."
