MRS. DE KROYFT.

| We have seen and conversed with this gentle
modest and pretty blind lady, and can well ap
prove the remarks made of her and her bool
by areviewer in the Nahona, Latcllgmcer. Hel
volume, entitled "a place in thy Memory,
was published by John F. Trow, in New York
and is for sale in this city by Mr.. Franck Tay
lor and Messrs. Taylor & Maury.
We quote the remarks Of the reviewer be-
cause of their aptness and the extracts ap-
pended because of their touching simplicity and
beauty:
This little volume especially commends itsel
to public consideration as the work of lady en-.
tirely blind; yet of one whose clearness of men
tai and moral vision makes large amends fol
the loss of the physical faculty. 1t is collec-
ton of letters to familiar friends in the course
ofwhich she describes much Of her experience,
and discloses much Of her habits of thought
and fancy in the new world and new state OF
being in which the loss of her eyes left her
Its pages, however, bear in but slight degree
the impress of that sadness which we are apt to
regard as inseparable from the thick night
which broods increasingly and forever upon the
totally blind, but glow often with the light Of a
spirit that can make its own sunshine the ra-
dance Of playful fancies and the calmer beams
Of brave, religious resignation. And she has
had need enough of these, for her loss of sight
has not been the only heavy affection that has
darkened her path of life. A severer one, to
such heart as hers, must have been that inn
mediately preceding, and probably causing her
blindness, as we learn its history from her vol
ume, which made her widow in four days
after marriage solemnized beside the death
bed of the husband, and in the certainty Of his
immediate death--a widow from the close of the
ceremony which made her o wife. In her own
simple and expressive language, she "was in
one short month bride, n widow, and blind"
That woman should bear herself up and
rise with q cheerful courage from the over
whelming Of such Affections, is surely matter O
admiration. That Mrs. DE KRoYrT does so, il
shown as well by her avowed purpose in pub
fishing her work as in its general tone. This
as we learn from the preface and one Of the let
ters, is to relieve herself from condition o
dependence upon the generosity Of friends, b.
earning the means of her own support---a pur
pose which she will be enabled fully TO accom-
pish by the patronage for which her sex an,
the story Of her woes and her heroic enduranc,
so eloquently plead.
The mechanical execution of the work Is sucl
as to render it pretty additionto to the centr

IRELAND AND HER pRospECTs.


AT the dinner given at Kings Hotel, in this
city, on St. Patrick day, Mr.. r. MoNEnHAsr,
in response to complimentary sentiment, de-
livered the following brief but eloquent address
| Mr.. President and Gentlemen-I feel highly
honored by the call you have made upon me,
and regret, not having anticipated it, l am not
better prepared to respond. But, after all, ii
needs no preparation to make speech on day
like this-a day sanctifed by religion, conse-
Grated by patriotism, immortalized in song and
story, and cherished, wherever throbs an Irish
heart, with the profoundest love and venera-
tion-a day frightened by n thousand glorious
memories, linked with many of the most pleasing
recolections Of the past, and associated with all
that is beautiful and captivating in the brilliant
picture Of Erin's glory. Upon her ancient brow
she wears no wreath more lovely than that en-
twined by her illustrious Patron Saint Impoy-
erished, desponding, famishing she may be-
oppressed, insulted, prosecuted she undoubtedly
is-yet, amid all her Affections, all her sorrows,
all her sufferings, she has clung to that pure
and spotless legacy, and venerated, with an
abiding devotion. the name, the virtues, the
memory Of st. Patrick.
The history Of nations will be searched in
vain for such an example Of heroic virtue, con-
stantly practised in the midst of the demoralz-
lnR iuuutuCtS VI " HTtCtitSS Nilu utICiltSo W
ranny. And though, at last, under the weight
of oppression, her spirit should be broken,
crushed-though Hope, the only star that glim-
mers on the horizon of her future, should be
extinguished forever-though all aspirations
for liberty, for nationality, should die within
the hearts of her people-yet would her glo-
rious deeds rise above the malice of her ene-
mics, and shed abroad their effulgent light; for,
Like the vase in which roses have once been distilled,
You may break, you may ruin the vase II you will
But the scent of the roses will hang round u still
But, my friends, the spirit Of Ireland is not
broken Oh, no She is like o giant pinioned,
motionless. She win yet snap the cords that
bind her; and when she does, then will she
stand erect--peerless in beauty, majestic in
dignity. Then, as st. Patrick banished from her
soil the unseemly reptiles that crawled amid its
verdure, so viii she Danish the human reptiles
that have battened upon the very life's blood
Of her people and decimated their numbers.
Then, indeed will Erin rise like star above
the gloom Of ages Then, indeed, will her
green hills be greener still--her valleys, tinged
with heavens brightest hues, win smile into
new life and beauty-her skies will glow with
more genial, more cheering beam-her people
will be prosperous, contcnted, happy---and her
dear old harp, no more attuned to sadness. VIII
thrill the world with its exultant strains lhen,
indeed, win her 0'Connelrs and her y Brien :
be avenged. The exalted spirit OF the one wiu

THE FOREST FUNERAL.

She was a fair child, with tresses of long
black hair lying over her pillow. Her eye was
dark and piercing and as it met mine she started
slightly, but looked up and smiled. spoke to
her father, and turning to her, asked her If she
knew her condition.
aI know that my Redeemer liveth," said she,
in voice whose melody was like the sweetest
strains Of the Eolian. You may imagine the
answer startled me, and with very few words
of the like import, / turned from her. A half
hour passed, and she spoke in that same deep,
rich, melodious voice..
"Father, am cold-lie down beside me-"
and the old man laid down by his dying child,
and she twined her arms around his neck, and
murmured in dreamy voice, "Dear father,
dear father !"
"My child" said the old man, "doth the
flood seem deep to thee?"
"Nay, father, my soul is strong"
"Seest thou the thither shorcf"
al see it, father, and its banks are green
with immortal verdure."
"Hearest thou the voices Of its inhabitants ?,
81 hear them, father-the voices Of angels
falling from afar in the still and solemn night
time-and they call me. Her voice, too, fatherl
Oh! l heard it then"
"Doth she speak to thee~
"She speaketh in tones most heavenly"
"Doth she smilef" g

Sabbath evening came, and a slow procession
wound through the forest to the little school
house There, with simple rites, the clergy
man performed his duty, and went to the grave.
The procession was short. There were hardy
men and rough, in shooting g-jackets, and some
with rifles on their shoulders. But their warm
hearts gave beauty to their unshayed faces, and
they stood in revcrent silence by the grave.
The river murmured, and the birds sang, and
so we buried her.

and the stars were bright before l left, for l
always had an idea graveyard was the near

template it with rapturous delight; while the
other, no longer an exiled sfelon," will breathe
| once more his native air, and dwell again upon
land which his noble heart so ardently yearned
to see liberated from a degrading bondage
Yes Ireland will yet be free. God haswrit-
ten it, as with a sunbeam, on the dark skies
that now o'erhang that sorrowing land 1t is
physically impossible, it is morally impossible,
IT is contrary to the providence of God, that
eight millions Of people, gifted with eminent
virtues, with great intellectual faculties, with
indomitable energies, with heroic courage, with
a productive SOIL with genial soil--singled
out, as it were, by the favor of Heaven, and
blessed with all the elements not only Of indi-
vidual happiness, but of true, solid, lasting,
national renown---it is impossible, say, that
such people can remain much longer in their
present degraded, destitute, impoverished con-
dition. 1t is utterly impossible. What, then,
is wanted to redeem Ireland, and to lift her to
the very pinnacle of national greatness? A
union of hearts and of hands--that union which
knit in holy brotherhood the men OF our own
glorious revolution; and one firm resolve-that
resolve which fred their souls--the resolve to
be free! Ireland has the power; she only
needs the wiN to be free.
"Oh, If the men Of Erin knew
Their own inherent power
II to themselves they were but true,
They'd not be slaves this hour!
If one great truth they would but learn
Who toould be free must ioiu it,
With strong resolve each heart would burn,
No coward fear would chill It,"
Yes, the yM to be free-the resolve to be
free-would prove the precursor of glorious
achievement. The Duke Of Wellington once
boasted that with regiment Of Irishmen he
would not fear to meet the devil and all his
imps-whom, then, should Ireland in arms
fear? Oh! they'd drive the foe before them as
waves sweep the pebbles from the strand
The necessity Of this union Of sentiment and
action, am glad to perceive, is becoming more
apparent to the people of Ireland. Fewer dis
sensions prevail The national pulse begins to
beat with healthy tone. Soon, trust, in the
language Of one Of the sentiments offered this
evening, a host of avenging heroes will spring
from the ashes of the mighty dead. Soon,
hope, the accursed union with England will be
forever sundered, and Erin viii emerge from
the darkness and degradation Of her starless
night of bondage to the beauty and glory Of her
dazzling morn of independence!
