VERY FEW BACKSLIDERs
One is not surprised to learn that there
were backsliders who now are ill-coptent.
but they are few. When the farms and
shops were put up for sale, four shop-keepers
and TWO farmers bought in their interest.
They were boycotted by isolation, a sufi-
ciently bitter punishment for the approval
loving Irish. We heard story of Mr..
Dalton bearing leg of mutton refused to a
boycotted persons messenger: he got it put
in a basket and carried it with his own

first had been most eager for the tray. They
wrote to Mr.. Smith-Barry asking to be
again evicted, and thereupon were warmly
back.
As we drove by Mr.. Dalton's house in the
glen we saw sturdy youngster of 4 trotting

PRETTY HOME PICTURES.
At the other end of the town are more cot |

pleasant they looked through haIf-open |
doors, and in one where We penetrated, there |
were dafodiIs on the Venetiau-red chimney |

The Sisters OF Mercy at the convent told |
Us there was great deal OF suffering in the |
town-not so much perhaps from actual |
want, as from discomfort and overcrowding. |
All that men can do is being done by the |
leaders. Mr.. Dalton's Office is, as he said, |
'all over the town." and while you are |
speaking to him there is crowd gathering |
