Picture Of Distress i'm ireland.

Mr.. W. H. Levan has been visiting
Europe and contributing letters to the
Berks and Schuylkill Journal. A late
number Of that paper contains picture
of the "worst part of Ireland" We sub
join it.:
That ride, from Marlow to the lakes
of Killarney, was one of the most melan-
choly days of my foreign travel. OF en-
closures, walls, hedges, or of regular di-
visions of the fields, could discover moth
ing worthy of the name, and of pretty
gardens, fruit trees, or even flower beds
| found none Instead of cheerful farm
houses, l saw fallen huts and ruined cot
tages. As often as we stopped | survey
ed the interior houses, which excited my
astonishment. Sometimes | had no oc-
casion to get off the coach, for from my
elevated seat | could perceive through
the hoes of the roofs the interior of the
dwellings we passed. Those who have
never been in Ireland may think | am
eoloring the picture which | am about to
give. To such, if they are not devoid of
human feeling, l could wish no greater
punishment than to force them to travel
through the counties of Kerry, Cork, Tip
perary, &c. But theytell me Visited the
worst part of Ireland. Thank God if it
is 50, for little thoughtso much wretch
edness could or did exist in this bright
world of ours. / never met with a more
hospitable, generous, witty people than
the Irish. But the Wretchedness of the
great mass of the population is utterly
beyoad deScflmi0n. ] have been into cab
ins dug out Of the bog, with no walls,
but the peat mud in which they have been
excavated with the roof of turf and
straw, and water standing in puddles on
the out side, without chimney, window,
door, floor, bed, chair, table, knife or
fork, the whole furniture consisting OF
some straw to lie down upon, pot to
boil the potatoes in, tin cup to drink
out of, and wicker-basket to take up
the potatoes after they are boiled, which
is set down in the middle of the floor,
and parents and children squat down on
the ground, and cat their oodwith their
fingers, sometimes with salt, but oftener
without. t.-And this is literally the whole

Never go gloomily, man with mind,
Hope is better companion than fear,
Providence ever benignant and kind,
Gives with smilewhatyou take with tear

Look to the Light
Morning is ever the daughter of night,
All that is black will be all that's bright,
Cheerily, cheeriy then! cheer up!
Many foe is friend in disguise,
Many sorrow blessing most true,
Helping the heart to be happy and wise,
With lore ever precious and joys ever row

Trusting in God while you do what you can,
Cheerily, cherily then! cheer up!

Ashes: SiSnisying Des0IaeIoIi


After all, thought I, ashes follow blaze, in
evitably as Death follows Life. Misery reaGs

Pleasure
Come to me again, Carlo" said l, to my
dog; and | patted him fondly once mere, but
now only by the light Of the dying embers.
1t is very little pleasure one, takes in fond
ling brute fasorites; but it is pleasuer
that when it passes, leaves no void. 1t is on
ly little alternating redundance in your sol
itary heart-life, which if lost, another can be
supplied. l
But if your heart, not solitary-not quiet
ing its huIpors with mere love Of chase, or
dog-not repressing year after, It's earnest
yearings after something better, and more
spiritual fairly linked itself by bonds
strong as Life, TO another heart IS the casting
of easy, then!
Is it then only little heart-redundancy
cut of; which the next bright sunset will fill
up!
And my facy, as it had painted doubt un-
der the smoke, and cheer under warmth of
the blaze, SO now it began under the faint
light of the smouldering embers, to picture
heart-desolation.

-Young indeed; guileless. as infancy;
charming as the morning.
All, these letters bear sting; they bring
10 mind, with new, and newer freshness, if it
be possible, the value ofthat, which you trem-
bic lest you lose.
How anxioasly you watch that step--if it
lose not its buoyancy; How you study the col
or Oh that cheek, fit grow not fainter; How
you tremble at the lustre in those eyes, if it
be not the lustre of Death; How you totter
under the weight of that muslin sleeye-a
phantom weight. How you fear to do it, and
yet press forward, to note if that breathing be
quickened, as you ascend the home-heights,
to look off on sunset lighting the plain.
Is your sleep, quiet sleep, after that she
has whispered to you her fears, and in the
same breath-soft as a sigh, sharp as an ar
row-bid you bear it brayely!
Perhaps-the embers,gere now glowing
fresher, little kindling, before the ashes
she triumphs over disease.
But, Poverty, the worlds afnloner, has
come to you with ready, spare hand.

you, on hope-kindling each morning, dying
slowly each night-this could be borne. Phi

Cervantes, though he begs; if he nights it un-
der the stars, he dreams heaven-sent dreams
of the prisoned, and homeless Gallleo.
He huns old sonnets, and snatches of poor
Johnson's plays. He chants Dryden's odes,
and dwells on Otway's rhyme. He reasons
with Boiingbroke or Diogcnes, as the humor
takes him; and laughs at the world for the
world, thank Heaven, has left him alone!
Keep your money, old misers, and your
palaces, old princes-the world is mine!
care not, Fortune, what you me deny
You cannot rob me of free natures grace,
You cannot shut the windows of the sky;
You cannot bar my constant feet to trace
The woods and lawns, by living streams,
at eve;
Let health, my nerves and finer fbres brace,
And l, their toys, to the great children, leave;
OF Fancy, Reason, Virtue, naught can me
bereave!
Buff not alone!
Ifske is clinging to you for support, for con-
,oa,
Then, the iron enters the soul; then the
nights darken under any sky light. Then
the days grow long, even in the solstice of
Winter.
