neansisul rreIana.


We know, of course, that Ireland
is called the Emerald Isle,H and
the color of the emerald is green,
but never had il entered into onr
Imagination that there was any
where in this world 10 be seen such
Yeroure as il charmed our eyes 10
look upon in the rural districts OF
Ireland. The slopes, the knobs, the
dells, fields Of young grain, over
which the breezes creep like playful
spirits of the beautiful; the pastures,
dotted over with sheep Of the pur-
est wool; the hillsidea, rising up fn-
TO mist-shrouded mountains, are all
covered with thick carpets of
smoothe velvet green. But Ireland
should also be called Flowery Isle.
There is not aspot in Ireland believe
where blessed nature can find an ex-
cuse for putting a flower, but she
has put one-not only in the gardens
and in the meadows, but upon the
very walls and the erags of the sea,
fromssthe great blooming rhododen-
dFons, down to the smallest AoWrct
that modestly peeps forth from its
grassy cover. The Irish furZe, 50
richly yellow, covers all places that
might otherwise be bare or barren;
the silkworm delights everywhere,
from thousands OF trees TO drop
its web Of gold;'' the blooming haw-
thorn, with the sweet-scented pink,
and especially the white variety,
sdorns the landscape and the gar
dens; wan-fowers, of every hue and
variety, Chamber 70 hide the harsh
ness Of the mural supports; the bee
tied cliffs of the North sea are firing
ed and softened with lovely flowers;
and If you kneel anywhere almost
on the yielding, velvety carpet, you
will find little, well-nigh invisible,
fiowrets, red, white, blue, and vel
low wrought into the very woof
and texture. Ireland ought TO be
called the Beautiful Isle. The spir-
il Of the Beautiful hovers over and
touches to living loveliness every
point.-PdH Hall Gazette.

Haste Not.

Hasting to be rich is one of the
worst faults of our American peo-
pie. It is worse than a fault ID is
a vice, for il too often leads to vi
ces and crimes that make life a ira
gedy and a desolation. Ii grows out
of our excessive impatience.-
Wealth is regarded as the first and
chief object OF living, and we want
to acquire wealth while young. that
we may enjoy it as long as possible.
There is an impression that the
wealth that comes only in old or
middle age, is almost worthless,
since the dull blood, the falling Wis
ion, and the aching Joints Of age,
are unable to appreciate and enjoy
it. 1t is thought that youth Is the
only stage of life in which hfe's
pleasure are sweet TO the taste, and
that after the zest of youth is gone
ii matters little whether one be rich
or poor. This is the reasoning of
those who look upon life, health,
wealth and everything else as mere
agents and occasions of pleasure
1t is the agument of that groveling
view which says: ''Let us eat aud
drink, for tomorrow we die"
Wealth is a means of enjoyment,
and we have right to enjoy the ra-
tional comforts and pleasures that
it can purchase; but it is also a
means of usefulness; it increases our
ability to do good, and proportion
ately augments our obligations TO
do good. We have Alright to desire
it and to strive for it :; but it is a
great error for the young TO make
excessive haste in their efforts to ac-
quire il. Riches rapidly gained are
apt to vanish rapidly. The man
who amasses q fortune by q few
"ten-strikes" at thirty, will proba-
bly, lose it by the time he is forty.
and need to begin to labor for that
which he ought then to be enjoying.
1t seems to be inconsistent with the
law of compensation, snd with the
eternal fitness ofthings, that a young
man should gain wealth bya few
strokes of good luck, and k.ssp il as
safely as one who has speEt half
life time in acquiring il. AT any
rate, we rarely see riches that have
been gained quickly and easily last
out the life time of the possessor.-
A man must acquire a fortune by
slow and laborious processes, to
know how to use il reasonably; he
viii miss some pleasures that il
might have brought to his youth;
but he will also escape the terrible
temptations that il would have
brought to his youth. He will es-
cape the dissipation and the excesses
that bequeath their penalties to old
age; ard in the comforts, independ-
ence, and the power 10 do good,
which his lately acquired wealth
brings, he will forget the perilous
pleasures he had TO forego.

A Modern lob.

A certain good natured old Yer
