THE DAILY DISPATCH

IHE Irish HEART.-Ons Of the most admira-
BILE traits of the Irish character is the fine vein
OF true golden affection that runs through it,
4 - perpetual thing to fnl in the newsps.
pefs accounts OF how poor starving women,
VINO nave come from the old sod, and from day
wages, have saved enough to bring over either
an inhrm father, desolate and starving mother,
prother whose life was an eternal toll with
nardiy subsistence. These are noble traits

/ ihls is nothing more than the plainest and
simplest act of justice to most remarkable
people. The same thing can be said of no
o'her. The undying love of country and that
unwavering filial and fraternal affec ton, which
the Irish emigrant in this country exhibits, are
without parallel for their intensity. We
know many cases in. this city, where the humb.
lest iaborers and servants, depriving themselves
often OF what is necessary fer their comfort,
lay by considerable sums of money which they
forward to their relatives in cid Ireland. either
to aid in supporting them there, or in bringing
them to this free country, where the widest
field is open to them. We may allude to a faui.
ly Of girls, whose devotion to their kindred has
been strlkingly displayed. First one came
she saved enough to bring second, and the two
labored for the passage money of two others
and then they paid the way of their father and
sent money to bring cut their mother; but she
declined to brave the sea in her old DAYS, and
they continue to forward the means to keep her
comfortable. To the "ALL-sEEINs EYE" these
| acts are jewels brighter than the crowns o.
the monarchs of the Earth.

cerations throughout the large intesrnes, hel
system extremely emaciated. The physician

cordance with the physicians testimony.
Why don't some ofthe enthusiasts in their ex.

starving emigrants, huddled like sheep in ves.

ined on board the ships, the victims Of disease
and fannie that produce the most frigbtful
mortality among them.
