hearted woman is sitting on on i'll was
born, and on il she brought me five chill
dren. The bees that are singing in the
bushes came from the oUId stock, and
my fathers mother, that they are bring
ing out now, has sal upon that stone
bench for sixty four years.
A very venerable woman had just
been carried through the fakes Of tall
ing lhatch iHto the open air; she seemed
hardly conscious Of what was going
forward, and yet she gazed around her,
and from one 10 another with an anxious
took.
well, we know all that said the
first speaker, 'and you ought TO know
that | am only doing my duty, and you
ought TO have sense; the g%entIeman's
land is his own, and il he'd rather feed
cattle for the market than have the
place broke up in Iitlle farms, sure it's
his OVID land, no yours, he lets youlake

He had not exclaimed the peasant
firmly planting his foo! on the ground
and unconsciously assuming an attitude
which would have done dignity TO a Ro

has a right TO say TO another, Go out
and starve-starve, as | shall, and all
belonging 10 me-; starve and beg, aud
beg and slarve till my bones whlten
through my skin and | die, as others
have done before me, on the road. Oh,
my God! if he had given me one piece
of mountain, or a piece Of bog, and time
to bring it round, I'D have worked as
have done all my life, and that is say .
ing enough for it. Does he cal to mind
&. tibet the tenants duty is to pay, and the
, landlords to protect, Does he say as a
!; christian, that any man has a right to
turn over scores Of his fellow creatures
to starvation when they are willing lc
be his slaves Tor food and raimant, anC
