ENGLAND.
Average. ll,ll7,l6l E2 / 1917 Is 3

These are the actual results shown by the m i,
carefully prepared statistics. The population
of England squander in Intoxicating liquors
twice as much per head as the people of Ire.
land. AS result, they have had, for the past
five years, a mortality of 222 in the 1000 living
each year while Ireland has only had 16.7
more remarkable still, England has 46.35 of
her people supported the poor rates, paid
by the industrious, the thrifty and the sober.
Ireland has but 1873 in the 1000 of her popula-
ton paupers. One cause of this is the Irish
people detest the poor-house and abhor becom-
ing q burden on the rates. Many of them
would die of want rather than become an
inmate of a poor-house The drinking
men of England, on the other hand, consider
the poor-house just the place for them when
they come to want; and they think nothing of
sending their aged fathers and mothers, or dis
abled brothers and sisters, to the poor-house,
even when they could very we'll afford to sup
port them. In Ireland these things, which are
common in England, are never once heard Of.
These pauper statistics are very remarkable.
But it is to the death-rate we invite particu-
lar attent ton. There can be error in this,
and sentimentRlism " can have nothing to do
with it. Dying is the last thing mankind wish
to do. The graveyard is the last place they Ie
deaths yearly, to every 1000 living, is the low
est mortality amongst any civilized people on
earth. And this has been the death-rste of
years past, no doubt. Irish cabins, matched
novels, potatoes and point" food, have,
after all, produced the bealthiest population
in the world. The death-rate of England, 22.2
in 1000, is considered low, but that of Ireland
is much more favorable, 1G.7 in 1000.
The mortality and the drinking go together:
" John Bull drinks beer at his meals; Pat
drinks buttermilk. There is the entire secret
of the greater death-rate in England. Drink
ing ga SIS HID per head of the entire Popula-
ton annually, they die at tho rate of 222 per
1000 in England. Drinking at the rate of
s2 Is Id per head of the entire population of
Ireland annually, they die at the rate of 16.7
per 1000. And less drinking still would be less
deaths.
We commend these figures and facts to the
the sobriety of the Irish people at home /;
their good health and longevity a conse-
quence; and they fatty contradict the silly
notion of 80 many Americans, that the Irish
population is q drinking and drunken race.
These facts account, too, for the prolific char.
acter of the Irish race. Only 16 z in 1000 of
them die annually. They consequently multi
ply rapidly, and spread themselves over the
whole earth.

QUE IRISH LETTER.
DUBLIN, October 81, 1873.

DUBLIN, OctObe II, 1873.
Editor Morning Star:
The results of the meeting of the Catholic
Bishops last week, were published on the 18th
and are most important 80 far as the question
of University Education in Ireland is concern
ed. The Bishops have taken step that is as
bold as it is important, and that has already
terribly epragea the English and West-British
press. Denied q charter for the Catholic Uni
versity, they have determined to grant degrees
themselves in arts, philosophy, and theology.
Denied an endowment, they have resolved to
appeal to the Irish nation for funds not only
to sustain but to extend the operations of the
Catholic University; and, while they were in
council, Lord Granard offered them $1,000 and
Lord Southwell ESQ year, for four years, on
condition that nineteen others be got to sub
scribe like amounts. They then resolved that
q new school of medicine and new University
College be forthwith commenced on the Uni
versity premises in Stephen's Green; that the
professional staff of the University be recruited
to its full strength that additional lecturers
ON Modern Irish History, English Literature
and Poetry, English Language, Geology, the
Fine Arts, Irish Antiquities, and two other
subjects, be at once engaged to deliver during
the coming session q series of eight lectures !;
anu CnRb Inc un8nClRA ana QlBClplnary aQulu-
istration of the University house, in Stephens
Green, be entrusted to the Jesuit Fathers. But
this is not all. All the diocesan and other Ca
Sholic schools in the country are to be imme-
diately affiliated to the University, and COM
mittee of four prelates are to set at once about
erecting and organizing a Training College for
the training of Catholic teachers for the ma
tional schools of the country. Is not this a
gigantic and bold undertakings The Bishops
have evidently given up the idea of obtaining
Justice in educational matters from the English
Government and are, with the help of their
faithful people, about to supply the needful
themselves. It is hard for the poor Irish peo-
Die to be twice taxed for educational purposes
to DO taxed not only for what they desire and
will avail themselves of, but also for the sup
port of Goddess system favored by the State,
of which they refuse to avail themselves. But
they will, nevertheless, support the Bishops,
thinking that to do so will be an eminently
good investment, and trusting that the future
will bring them justice if not compensation.
Already the vacancies in the professional
staff of the University have nearly been filed
up. The chair of chemistry, vacant by the
retirement of DR.. Sullivan, has been conferred
on DIR. John Campbell, NJ. D., NJ. R. l., dis
tinguished scholar who has for many years
acted as demonstration of anatomy in one of
our leading medical schoOls-the Carmichael.

Many amongst the American public have got
q kind of vague notion in their heads that the
Irish people are the most drunken in Europe
They do not seek for any statistics in support
of their idea but there it is-the Irish are a
drunken race. Now statistics stating facts and
figures just prove the very reverse. Not only
do the statistics show less drinking in Ireland
than elsewhere in Europe, but, as result, the
lowest death-rate besides.
At the recent annual meetings of the Social
Science Congress in England, paper was sub
mitted by Mr.. VIM. Hoyle, of Todmuden, Bury,
Lancashire, q large cotton manufacturer, the
author of very able work" Our Natural
Resources, and How They are Wasted" The
paper was entitled, "Our Social and Material
Condition."
Mr.. Hoyle gave the returns of liquor con-
sumed, the death rate and the pauper rates in
England and Ireland respectively for the past
five years, as follows:

~THE DAYS WHEN WE WERE HAPPY


Do you think we would be happy
If the cross should come no more,
F1inging shadows on the greensward,
AS it used to do before
Do you think We would be happy
If the pains were gone to rest,
Which have found us at His tsble,
And laid us on His breasti
Do you think we would be happy
That o carpet way was spread,
Where the confessors have Borrowed
And the faithful martyrs bledf
Do you think we would be happy
In our shelter near the cross
To think we had all the glory,
And that He had all the loss7
All! no, our hearts would sicken
Every dawn and every day.
We'd be lonesome for the shadow.
In the fitness of the way.
We would miss the hallowed traces
On the footway of our God,
Till we asked some genial sorrow-
just to show us where He trod.
And though we may be happy
In the absence of the ray,
With the cross for our companion,
The dear cross on which He lay;
If tho cross itself forsake US,
with the shadow which it cast,
Oh ! the days when we were happy
Must be counted in the past.

Jim Smiths Menagerie.

4 party of boys at Jim Smiths
house were playing a game that they
called ''lnenagerie." All the boys
who never played it before, were
turned into the hall, and then, being
called into the sitting-room one by
one, asked to tell what particular an
imal they most wished to see. One
boy wished to see a hippopotamus,
another an elephant, Others tigers
and lions; but they were one and all
led up to the looking glass and poin-
ted to their own reflection, and told
that there was the animal they had
expressed desire to see. This game
the boys thought very funny: and
they laughed heartily at the last boy
who was admitted into the menage-
rie-for he had asked to see mon
key, and looked very much "taken
down" when shown his ownself.
aOut here is old drunken Tom
Cathbone,n said one of the boys
looking from the window; @let's call
him in, and let him have a peep at
an ugly looking animal"
So poor old Tom, the drunkard,
was called into the room, and told to
tell what animal he wanted to see.
aOh! show me the worst-looking
wild beast you've got" said he
ssCome show it to me; show me the
beastp
"All right, then,n said the boys,
and pushed Tom right in front of the
looking glass. He stood for a mo-
ment looking into the glass with a
silly drunkard's smile. But present
ly such look of horror and sorrow
passed over his face that the laugh
ter of the boys was checked, and
they could not help but pity him as
he sank into chair and covered his
face with his hands.
1--WE didn't mean to hurt your feel
ings,n said Jim. awe did the same
thing to all the boys. And just be-
fore you came in, Dick Willoughby
asked to see monkey ,and we show
ed him himself"
But the poor fellow looked up with
amournful look in his bleared eyes,
and said, II am worse than beast;
worse than beast.n
And after he had left them, the
boys watched him going down the
street,and from their hearts did pity
poor old Tom Cathbone; and so dc
we; and much we hope that none OF
our dear boys whom we now know
and love may ever come to be such
as he is to-day.-THE GEM.

says: Having on our premises, planted
by former owners, probably twenty
years ago, half dozeE old grape vines
with large weather beaten trunks or
stems, which made annually but little
new wood and yielded but very poor
grapes, two seasons ago we cut off the
branches, and laid the main stems down
in trenches, covering with about foot
Of earth. Vigorous and healthy shoots
sprung up in great abundance-the
weak ones of which were broken of,
and leading ones at proper distances
trained to the arbor. The new growths
are now clean, healthy and strong
sufficient entirely to cover the large ar
Dor the present season; We look for
bushels of fruit from the new bearing
wood. We see old grape vines every.

be made young and thrifty by this pro-
