lowing Address from a committee Of tn
Society of Friends, in Ireland.
The we'll known moderation Of this re
IIlgious denomination, - alike with th
tone of tho eommuhi atoms, forbid th
supposiiion that the details of suflerinI
are too highly colored hut on the con
trary il is to be feared THAT the half !
not told"
In all probability thousands Of th'
poor in Ireland arc now in starving
condition.
Il From recent accounts it appears tha
members Of the Society Of Friends, il
Eng land and Ireland, have subscribed
Twenty two thousand pounds for thei
relief.-Friends in Philadelphia are also
collecting money and rovisions to send
ihem- and The citizens Of New York
have forwarded several thousand dollar.
through their Mayor TO the Dublin Com
mittee for the same object.
Is not this a work Of charity in which
all christians should unite. Let those
who possess a superabundance Of this
worlds goods, seriously reflect on their
responsibility to the Father Of all who
has thus entrusted ihem with the means
of relieving the distresses OF their poorer
brethren.
Contemplate for moment your own
happy families, surrounding the festive
board or cheerful hearth, without an
earthly privation-but perhaps Ievellng
in The excess of every luxury.
"Look on that picture and on this"
Behold the widowed tenant Of mud
cottage in lreland-the last article oi
her little furniture at the pawn-brokers-
destitute of food, bedding or fuel, her lit
lie children shivering in rags,-and
piercing her very soul with plaintive cries
for food, (which she can only answer
with tears.
Behold them huddled together through
The long cold night, TO derive from each
others starving bodies what little warmth
they may sobbing themselves to forget
lulness, - or moaning piteously in their
hungry sleep.
Ere the light Of morning, death has
perhaps released one of their number
Amidst darkness the wailng mother is
striving to close lis sunken eyes,-whilst
its innocent spirit has winged its way to
the eternal Judge Of all, there to remain
an everlasting witness against the rich
of shis world-agains those who ,betfay-
ing their stewardship, appropriate to
their own selfish purposes the goods en-
trusted to their care by Divine Provi-
dence.
Should the republication Of the address
be the means OF exciting any individuals
or communities TO aid the sufferers OF
Ireland, the writer Of this, (who is not
a member Of the Society Of Friends, }
would suggest the proprieiy Of forward
ing any funds raised direct to their Com
ni,tee in DubIin-whose organization
seems so well adapted to promote an
impartial and faithful distribution. 1t
nay be well to remark, that no part Of
he aid received by said Committee will
be appropriated for the benefit Of the
poor Of their own denomn alton - ample |
provision being specially provided for
hem by the rules of their Society.

ny JOHN @. SANE
An attorney was "taking turn"
In shabby habiliments drest;
His coat was shockingly worn,
And the rust had invested his vest.
His brceches had suffered breacls
His linen and worsted were worse
He had scarce a whole crown in his hat,
And not halfa crown in his purse
And thus he wandered along,
A chcerless and comforiless ELF,
He sought for relefin a song,
Or complainingly talked to himself.
"Most unfortunate man that am,
My only client is grief;
The case is, I've no case AT all,
And in brief, have ne'er had a brief"
"Tln profession already so full
Of lawyers so full of profession,
That u modest young man like myself
Can't make the smallest impression
"Thcy grant I'm acquainted with grads,'
Can devise devise or plea,
Can make good deed in 'iee SIMPLE
But can't get the simplest fee.
awe waited, and waited in VAN,
Expecting an 'opening to find,
Where an honest young lawyer might gain
Some reward for the toll Of his mind"
While thus he was wandering along,
His eye accidentally fell
On n very deep hole in the ground,
And he sighed to himself" II is oeH.
To curb his emotion, he sat
On the curb stone the space Of minute,
Then cried, "IIerc's an opening at last"
And in less thania gify was in it.
Next day twelve citizens came,
The ''coroners quest to attend
To the end that it might be determined
How that man had determined his end,
"Tloe man was lawyer, il seems"
SAID the foreman, who 'opened' ofcourse,
"A lawyer alas ~ sig bed smother,
ale undoubtedly died Of rcmorse -
A shini said he "kncw the deceascd-
An attorney, well verscd in the laws;
And as to the cause of his death,
Twas no doubt for want of a cause.
The ''crowners" at length gave verdict, 81
Which finally settled the matter
"That the young man was drowned because
He could not keep his head above water

Our present limits forbid any attempt
to furnish compre hensive details Of the
existing distress; but as some conflicting Q
state ments, both as to its extent and in
tensity, are before the public, the Com
mittee think it right to append to the
foregoing address a few extracts from
letters Of their own espondents, whose
represe nations, so far from being highly
coloured, they believe to present very
faint though faithful picture of what they
describe.
"A Friend residing in the county OF
Westmeath, who was requested to re-
port respecting the state OF The extensive
district west Of the river Shannon, writes
as follows, under date of 26th Eleventh
