New Orleans c. d. Elder.
It is rare indeed to fnd united in one ps
such varied gifts aSare those Of the talsl
Nun of Kenmare, who joins to the piesy
reciuse the erudition Of q scholar, and t,I
hidden life of Sister Of Mercy the laba,,
researches Of an impartial historian.
The devotional works written by this gi1
lady breathe the true spirit Of piety and Chr
ian charity, while her hissorid product
have won for her the highest nsea q n
any writer can obtain, Wig: the approbata
the Holy Father. Bot among the many I:
nations from her pen, the History OF coitI:
claim peculiar interest from her county
for the whole history of Ireland IL gan

Miss Casack's heart is in her work, q
will be strange indeed If she does not uu
sympathetic enthusiasm in the hearts ofaa

hands, the "Isle Of Saints" rises belau.
mental vision with all those peculiar priISs
granted to her alone, and which make I
unique study either for tho scholar al
; Christian.
The Irish people alone received the ig
Christianity into enlightened minds; and
alone Of all the nations of the world, daI
bitterly persecute the Apostles who eil
preach "good tidings;" while for Their
crown of glory they can boast thst they
never severed even for an instant from
fidelity to Truth.
All other lands have had their orgies d
lirious folly, but Ireland alone has ever
served her reason and her Faith. Frsnc
down her affairs, England apostatizsd, Gen
boasts of her infidelity, Italy has dstaI
> her pontiff; but Ireland, peerless ireland
wears her baptismal robes unspotted, aaiI
,. through every trial kept her vows anbr'i1
Miss Cusack's genius makes her readsusI
