THE EMIGRAMT's FAMILY

One of the strongest peculiarities-in-
deed, | may say paSSiOaS-of the Irish, is
their devoted fondness for their offspring.
A curious illustration of this occurred to
ne on my recent Journey through the north
ern lakes. 1t happened to be what sailors
call very dirty weather, finished up by a
tremendous gale, which obliged us to seek
shelter at lump Of aboriginal barrenness,
called Manltou Island, where we were OBJ
hged to remain five days. There were tc,o
deck passengers-between five and six hun
dIed and inasmuch as they had only pro-
vided themselves with barely sufficient Tor
the average time, provision became alarm
ingly scarce, and no possibility of a supply.
To be sure, there was one venerable oX-a
sort Of petri6cation, an organic rem
nant-a poor attenuated, hornless, sightless.
bovine patriarch, who obligingly yielded up
his small residue of existence for our bene-
fit. Indeed, it was quite mercy that we
arrived to relieve him from painful state
of suspense, for so old and poweress was
he, that if hi. last breath had not been ex-
tracted, he certainly could not have drawn
it by himself.
Well, as you may suppose, there was con-
siderable CONSERVATION or board. Short,
pery short allowance was adopted to meet
the contingency, ana the poor deck passen-
gers had a terrible time oft. Amongst the
latter was an Irish emigrant, with his wife
and three beautiful children, the eldest a.
bout seven years, and all without the small
est subsistence except what the charity of
their fellow-passengers could afford them
and as theU were but scantiIy supplied, it
can readily be imagined how miserably Of

It was very amusing TO see these faithful
servants of their country, coming tneir
books every morning like so many children
at an infant school. They have all occup!i.

planted garden, in which traits, flowers
and vegetables, walks, sun-dials, ten-Pm
alley, arbors, &C., are attended to WIN oa!-

or two before dark, and chat away upon

in miniature always carry about with me-
and the flag was hailed by those noble TEL

sent up, speeches made, toasts innumeIaolo

who fought and lied for liberty. We made
grand night Of it, as you. may suppose.
Their admiration of America and its insti-
tutions is undoubted. Kossuth never speaks
of it but with gratitude for the sympathy
