An IRIsuNAS-The New York Worlds
emotions Oh beholding an Irishman are thus
expressed;
I'VE never see an Irishman without series
of intense emotions. Whether be happens
to be carrying the hod or making speech
whether he be breaking the head or embrac-
ing the body of his friend; whether he be
clad in the national integument of corduroy
or the etfeminate doeskin, symbolic, 10 our
cline. Of sovency and respectability, be is
still the undiluted Simon Pure Patlander, as
gushing in his susceptibilities, as warm il
his affections as violent and unreasoning in
his antagonisms. as when from the bosom of
his mother isle he eXhumed the succulent
potatoe, or upon it welded the trucculent
shil!elah or the peaceful spade. lie is an
emblem and type of the race which has
given to the world its noblest orators, its
sweetest poets. its loveliest women; its most
mcllihuous dialect, and its only bulls. He
is to be cherished therefor"
