tax Is easier for the rich than a small one for
the poor. All classes were forced immediately
70 retrench their expenses But there was
class even in that prosperous time who could
retrench but very little, and still live. Hun
dreds and thousands, with the utmost economy
and steadiest industry, had to stint themselves
IN the coarsest fare and hundreds more hiring
out their able bodied sons, and taking their
younger children by their side, left their mud
walled cots forever, to beg their pittance from
daOr to door.
uime heals all things The consolidation of
the kingdoms, at first an evil, resulted in some
good. 1t extended English laws over Ireland

kingdoms, which was beneficial to both, but es

Nptive prosperity and real distress called out
the energies of the people. While O'Connell
and his compatriots were sgitating in the south
or laundering in the British Parliament for
repeal of the union, another class of men in the
north were laboring to promote popular educa-
ton. For the first time, in long period, the pub
Inc mind seemed to have leisure for intellectual
pursuits. Lately, the grand question seemed to
be, How shall we live ?" Before that, it was,
how shall we get rich? and still before that how
shall we be free? Now, liberty seemed to be
forgotten, riches we're out of the question, vet,
without unusual exertion, men could supply the
common wants of the body. So they thought
OF wisdom. The poorest tried to have their
children educated. Men who could not read
word bought books to have their neighbors read
aloud to them when they dropped in. And
number of farmers would club together to take
a weekly newspaper, or send to Scotland for
books which could not be obtained at home
The influence of this change was soon felt in
all the affairs of life and in every department
of society. 1t softened the manners, it improv-
ed the agriculture, it gave higher tone to the
morality. The old literature of songs and ira
dition gave place to books and papers. AS far
as l can learn from correspondence and con-
versation, the last thirty years have been as
fruitful of changes in Ireland as in the woods
of Pennsylvania.
Spending my childhood in Ireland at this
time, and possessing the facilities already men

bear on the character of the times and people,
will relate nothing but what / know to be
strictly true without mentioning its doubtful
authenticity. And as am far removed, both as
to time and place, it will hurt no ones feelings
to give the real names of the actors.
