BEAUTIFUL IRELAND-A writer in the
Pail Mall Gazette says: We know, OF

erald Isle" and that the color of the
emerald is green, but never had 1t Ell
tered into our imagination that there
was anywhere in this world to be seen
such verdure as charmed our eyes tc
look upon in the rural districts Of Ire
land. The slopes, the knobs, the dclls,
the fields of young grain, over which
the breczes crept like playful spirits OF
the beautiful; the pastures, dotted over
with sheep of the purest wool, the hill.
sides, rising up into mist shrouded
mountains, all covere with thick car
pets Of smooth, velvet green. But Ire
land should also be called Flowcry Isle.
There is not spot i'll Ireland, ! believe,
where blessed nature can find an eX-
cuse for putting flower but she has
put one-n0t only in the gardens and
in the meadows, but upon the very
walls and the crags of the sea, from
the great blooming rhododondrons down
to the smallest floweret that modestly
peeps forth from It's grassy cover, The
Irish furz, so richly yellow, covers all
places that might otherw ise be bare or
barren the silk worm delights every
where, from thousands OF trees, to
drop It's web of gold;" the blooming
hawthorn, with the swect-sccntcd pink
especially the white variety. adorns the
landscape and the gardens; wall flow
ers Of every hue and variety Chamber
TO hide the harshncss of the mural sup
ports; the beetlcd cliffs Of the North
Sea are fringed and soitencd with love
~ flowers, and if You knccl anywhere
almost on the yielding, veIycty carpet
YOU will find little. wcll-nigh invisible
flowerets, red, white, blue and yellow
wrought into the very wool and texture.
Ireland ought to be called the Beautiful
Isle. The spirit of the Beautiful Isle
hovcrs over and touches 10 living love
