sun and air until thoroughly dry, when,
upon being ignitcl, it omits a genial heat
and bright flame, which Is the only illumin-
alton in the cottages Of the peasantry
during the long winter evenings, when the
MaterJitmilias spins and the children receive
lessons in goblin and fairy lore at the
parental knee. These marshes or peat
hogs cease in the vicinity of Dublin, and
the pastoral counties of the north assume

This great metropolis is the seat OF the
poplin trade and Of other manufactures.
The city is finely built and contains many
grand structures, yet is devoid Of any par
ticular interest. The custom house, upon
the embellishments Of the Liiiey is The finest
in the world. Dublin has fine Stores
churches, museums and theatres in abund-
ancc. II is stirring and in many respects
similar to American cities, in that ii has
adopted the horse cars for metropolitan
travel, and has many of the new world ac-
commodations which the conservative cities
of England are loath TO countcnancc The
city contains many line monuments, and
an industrial exhibition which would do
credit TO any city of Europe. The Phoenix
Park, which far surpasscs in extent
the celebrated parks Of London, con-
tains the Vice Regal lodge Of the
Lord Lieutenant of Ireland and
the Geological Gardens. The grounds are
exceedingly well laid ont and the collec-
ton of animals extensive. ST. Patrcli's
Cathedral is the nucleus OF the city and is
fine, though somewhat cherries edifce.
In the chancel is tablet to the memory OF
the Duke of Schomberg, and in the choir,
where hang the banners of the Knights OF
St. Patrick, are the tombs Of the poet
Swift and of Ilesta Johnston (the Stella OF
his poetry. The streets around the caihe-
dral are among the lowest of the city and
the explanation of this unsighly position is
that the church was erected over vel
from which st. Patrick baptized certain
bishops during his visit to Ireland in tho
year 800. Dublin Castle is dingy and un
interesting pile, where the Lords Leuten.
ant dwell during parliament. Report says
that it is not renovated because these gen
tlemen come TO Ireland for the purpose Of
saving their immense salaries and Of max
Ing money out of the plant country

Belfast is modern town and owes its
celebrity to the extent OF its population and
manufactures. Beng the second city il
the kingdom it is the entrepot OF the steam
ers of all nations, and is the capital of tho
linen trade. Its mills and factories. docks
and wharves render it a city of extreme &C
tivity and business, while to these attri
butcs are added the advantages of cleanli
ness and salubrity. The poor, to the num-
Der OF 10000, are all employed and wei
paid, which precludes the existence of the
beggars which infest the south In fact
the entire north of Ireland presents mar
velous difference in its social status from
the south. Here the estates are well man
aged, the propretors are liberal and tho
tenantry happy and attached to their en-
ployers Good will reigns and progress Il
the rule rather than the exception. There
can he no doubt that the emigration OF
Irish to America has been the relief to Ire
land, which has allowed her to right her
self and expand the interests of her chill
dren. The daily improvement of the ten
antry from the care and liberality Of thei
landlords proves that industry is the grea
means OF establishing both the place ant
prospect of the people.
Sufficient farms, fair tents and perma
nent tenures can alone excite the spirit o
industrial progress and social reform,
Nature has lavished her favors upon Ire
land and It remains for man to set an ex
ample of probity and well-being,
