On the sides of the long hall are two rows of
busts of writer's which remind that ireland in
more modern times has contributed her share to
the worlds literature, and that, under great dis
advantages too. On every hand are reminder, of
the great names which make up Ireland's roll Of
statesmen orators and soldiers roll long enough
to girdle much larger country with a band of
glory; but there is no end to the catalogue
The harp of Brian Boru, which some knowing
would take from Brian and give to the O'NcI,
is a curious looking specimen of the harp family
and is at least 500 years old Not the least inter-
esting thing to me is this patched-up pane uf
glass through which Goldsmith used to look ou-
of his room in Trinity college and ON which Is
scratched 90. Goldsmith" done by himself so they
say and the only question to the genuinenes~ ar
the autograph Is suggested by the report that o
Goldsmith didn't wear diamonds in his college DAYS
unless it were just after of those times when
his long-sufering but faT-sighted rich uncle had
taken some more stock in him-aud paid the cash
1t looks as Goldsmiths handwriting ought to look:
that is, it has a scrawIy careless, good-natured
swagger about it so l think 1t Is genuine
On an old roll of the Irish parliament | read
the names of Henry Grattan Henry Flood and
John Phpott Curran, written by their own hands
[ shook hands with them across the century
Nearby hangs another dOcument-the Declaration

tlemen, too, for they of the same school Of
statesmen the Irishmen-lOvers of liberty.
OF fine churches, imposing public buidings
beautiful streets, squares and parks, and statues
and monuments to great men, Dublin has her share
and more perhaps; besides, she has a noble river
the Lifey-spanned by fine bridges, below
which the ships that go down to the tie up
along the two walls in the very heart of the city;
and then she has Guinness brewery, that fountain
which sends it dark brown streams to the ends of
Ireland-and beyant.
iaunting car took us through Phoenix park
or part through, for 17GO acres are not so quickly
gone through. The big Wind" jr., which swept
over Ireland in February last left It's marks all over
the park; nearly 1000 of the largest and finest
trees were uprooted and their great trunks are
lying all about in the park. "They kape the wild
beasts beyant there" said our Jarvy. pointing to-
ward the zoo, as turned out into the North Cir
cular road We came in Sackville street across
the OConnell bridge and jaunted about the streets
of the older part of the town south of the Lifey
The Dublin Jarvy never fails to point out to the
stranger a little church Thomas street-St.
GATHERINGS. In front of it one morning 100 years
ago, Irelands cherished martyr-RObert Emme-
was put to death with shameless despatch-his trial
having ended in the sentence of death the night
before. But the Irish have not been in such
hurry to forget Robert Emmett.
We had decided to leave Ireland for Scotland
but dear old Ireland seemed to be 'agin it, for
when we were about to take a car for the North
Wall boat landing she poured down such tor
rent of rain [ never saw descend before. No
man would 60 out In 1t; the streets were de-
serted. Then she worked herself into such vo-
lent passion of thunder and lightning that we were
shocked By her behavior. She stormed and ragged
and shrieked and shed tears in torrents. We stood
under portico of the cid Parliament house till the
first fit and she grew camer. But when
we mounted car to 60 she broke out again and
the trip across O'Connelrs bridge and down the
North Wall was made in pour-down of rain hard
enough to drive these dwellers in Dublin to shell
ter; and in country where Pat says it rains ivery
day savin the thortieth of February" they don't
go to cover for anything much short of a cloud
burst.
