" Satan finds some mischief still
For idle hands to do,"
has had its truth attested during all times and periods.
The possession of a certain plot of ground that he
can call his own, the idea of property thereby oc-
casioned, the certainty that he will be permitted to
enjoy it during good behaviour, "dum se bene gesserit,"
and that any aggravated offence or crime may incur a
forfeiture thereof, has been of the greatest service to
the poor man, and has ensured a degree of industry
a correctness of conduct on his part, that few other
means have been sufficient to effect. A Select Com-
mittee of the House of Commons has reported in the
strongest manner in favour of its utility ; and with
such powerful evidence on its behalf it is only sur-
prising that it has not already been brought into
more extensive, we may say into universal, use.
The statement of the Hon. and Rev. W. SCOTT
cannot be passed in silence ; it speaks more eloquently
in favour of the system than the most brilliant orator,;
it shows the rise and progress of the good work.
That Rev. Gentleman said that—
" When he entered on the living of Maiden Newton
he was ironically congratulated on having got the worst
parish in the country to deal with ; and he himself was
no less than six times in that very court as a prosecutor.
In the last three years, during which allotments had been
in operation in his parish, he did not think he had been
seen there. In the first year of the allotments two con-
victions took place, and there were consequently two
forfeitures • but from that time not one out of eighty
holders had committed any offence to call him up before
a magistrate."
Can there be a stronger testimony to its benefits ?
It is not merely the addition to the bodily comforts,
the affording a means of profitable employment during
the dead season, when he would be unable to procure
it from the farmer—it is not merely that the oc-
cupation of his leisure hours, which, with perfect
faithfulness to his master, he could devote to the cul-
tivation of his allotment, would produce sufficient to
support the labourer, if he were quite without wages
for thirteen weeks in the year ; but there is some-
thing still more desirable and important,—it keeps
him from crime, it brings his mind into a better state,
It renders him more contented and happy, less exposed
to temptation and firmer in his resistance thereto;
and many an humble but happy family may bless the
day when the husband and father became a tenant of
one of the land allotments. The benefit, too, is a
cheap one, it can be conferred with little, if any, ex-
pense. The same rent that could be obtained from a
farmer would be most gratefully and punctually paid
by the labourer—what prejudice then has hitherto
prevented its adoption ? Is it the fear lest the in-
crease of the population would also increase the poor-
rates ? The very possession of the allotment has in
almost every instance prevented the necessity of any
application for parochial assistance, and has lessened
the burden wherever it was brought into judicious
operation. We hail the formation of the society
with joy, because we conceive that it will do away
with this unfounded prejudice—because it will set
an example that will in all probability be extensively
followed—because each individual member will to a
certain extent be pledged to do all within his power
in his own particular :sphere for the amelioration of
the condition of those dependent on him. Wei
might the Right Reverend Prelate exclaim that—

- -
( " The association which they were about to found
w as but a practical means of carrying out a higher law ;
that they were in the path of duty when endeavouring
by all means in their power to lighten the burden of
Poverty, to stimulate industry, to encourage honest ex-
ertion, to cheer depression, and, by raising the physical
state of the labouring classes, to give a better oppor-
tunity for the cultivation of their moral nature and the
development of their spiritual being."

Eight days later intelligence from America ar-

If the expenditure of money in Ireland for the
employment of the people be confined to the making
of new roads, or, to the cutting down of old ones, the
Irish people will only be temporary gainers, inso-
much as only the money to be paid to the
labourers will be so much more money circulated in
the neighbourhood where public works are under-
taken; but, if the Government, by a judicious direc-
tion of the funds at their disposal, will drain some
portion of the bog lands now lying waste, a large
breadth of, land will be rendered suitable for corn
cultivation, and a large addition will be made to the
means of permanent employment for the people.
One instance of this kind has been brought under
our notice.
An English Mining Company have been working
the mines of Killibricken, in the barony of
Islands, county of Clare, seven miles from
Ennis. These mines produce lead and silver ores,
and about three hundred of the neighbouring pea-
santry are employed in the works during the summer
months, and the monthly expenditure for labour is
about five hundred pounds ; but as the mines are
situated in the centre of a, large bog district,
when' the winter rP.';.ns descend the bog is
overflowed by tho streams, the water per-
colr.tes through The peat, and the mines are filled
with water. I,7hen this happens the mines cannot
be worked, and the mining operations cease from the
month of December until May—the peasantry, who,
during th'd summer months, have acquired industrial
habits, are discharged, they fall back amongst the
agric'altural labours, and, as at this season of the
YeP..r very little work can be given to them by the
r:Aeighbouring farmer, much want and misery is felt
