ing emigrant, as it means to many of
them that a home is prepared for them
on their arrival, and all the charms OF
country life are to many OF those who
leave the country as nothing, compared
to what they hope to enjoy when they
reach America.
Many, no doubt, realize their expec-
tations, but unfortunately there are ma
ny who do not; and, although you will
hear many returning emigrant say,
I'D rather live on meal day in Ire
land than have four in America" still
the experience of the latter class has no
terrors for the intending emigrant, and
sad though it may seem, yet it seems
certain that as long as the present con-
dition OF affairs exists, and even under
altered circumstances, the exodus from
Ireland will go on uninterruptedly, not,
perhaps i'll as large numbers, but the
immense number OF Irish people in
America will be certain to draw on the
Irish population always.
