Ter 81 Muskau's Tour" os an instance
of the happy disposition of the inhabi-
tants ofsweet Ireland:
owe saw number of laborers sitting
by the road side on heaps OF stone, which
they were breaking. My companion
said, "They are conquerors their whole
business is to break in pieces and destroy,
and they rise on the ruins they make"
Meanwhile our driver blew his horn TO
announce the post, for which, as here. ell
must make way; the tone, however,
came forth with so much difficulty, and
sounded so piteously, that we all laugh
ed. A pretty boy, of about II, looking
like personiication of happiness and
joy. though half naked, was sitting or
a heap of stones hammering. He shout
ed out with mischievous glee, and call
ed out to the angry driver, ooh, no.
friend, your trumpet has caught cold 4; it
is hoarse as my old Grandmother cure
it directly with a glass OF potheen, or il
will die of consumption before you
reach Galway" a loud laugh from the
iaborers followed as chorus. There"
said my companion, 'Ihcre you see our
people. -starvatio and laughter,-that
is their lot. Would you believe that,
from the number Of labourerF, and tho
scarcity of labour, not one Of these men
earn enough to buy sufficient food and
yet every one of them will spare some
thing to the Priest, and if you 60 into
his cabin, will give you half of his last
potatoe, and joke in the bargain !"
