A Land Without Laughter.

The Irish have been described by nov
elists and travellers as a lght-hearted
and rollicking people-full Of fun and
quick in repartee-a deyil-me-care race
Of folks, equally ready to dance or to
fight. / have moi found them so. [
found them in the west of Ireland a
sad and despondent people; care-worn,
broken-hearted, and shrouded In gloom.
Never once in the hundreds of cabins
that entered-never once did I see a
merry eve or hear the sound Of merry
voice. Old men and boys, old women
and girls-Young men and maidens-
all of them, without solitary excep-
tion, were grave and. sad and every
household looked as if the plague of
the first born had smitten it that day.
Rachael, weeping for her children,
who have passed unnoticed among
these warm-hearted peasants, or, If she
had been noticed, they would only have
said, "She is one of u.s." A nome with
out a child is cherries enough;but here
is whole region without child's
laugh in it. Cabins full of children,
and no boisterous glee No need to
tell these Youngsters to be quiet. The
famine has tanned their restless spirits,
and they crouch around bit Of peat
fire without uttering a word. Often
they do not look a second time at the
stranger who comes into their cabins.

A Strange Custom.

On the day after the death of the
crown prince of Austria, a Vienna I'm.
dertaker was ordered to have an oak
coffin ready tor use at the palace the
same day. He asked for more time,
but was told that it must be there be-
fore night. Inquiry developed the fact
that it is a custom of the Hapsburgs
always to have coffin in the house.
The oak coffin in which the body OF the
crown prince lay was one that had
been made years before, after the death
of one Of his relations, and waited for
an occupant ever since. The new coffin
is now waiting.
