More Than Honest.
The chat acter of Irishmen is too
mud) judged of from ehose . details
which Most: commonly meet the
public eye, which, for the gieater
i
art, are pictures of the worst part
of the Irish population, and when
.
not portraying crime and , violence,'
. represent the Irishman as a ridi-
culous, improvident, blundering
boob.
No doubt there are too many
criminals and a sufficiency of folly_.
,
among them ; but I am sure there
is notwithstanding many adverse
circumstanCes, a very considerable
proportion of high and holy feeling
and of self:denying, active virtue,
as well as of thrifty industry. And,
if Paddy is ofteu comical, he is quite
as, frequently romantically hival-
within his reach e and if thi can
rots in the degree which omes1
only show itself in small matters,
in a small way of life, yet „these
small matters, like straws in the air,
show which way the wind blows,
perhaps more surely than greater
things which imply more preparation
and premeditation.
Before the famine of 1$4.6 and
• the following years •there was al-,
ready a considerable' .flow of emi-
gration to America ; but few . well-
to-do people went then. It was
chiefly yeurig men and women, sons
and daughters of poor families. It
often happened that means . were
raised with difficulty enough- for
one of a numerous family to pay a.
passage to America, and on such and
similar pleas I was often asked to
lend the pace of a passage, to be re-
paid by the emigrant.
I often lent the required sum—
then only three or four pounds.
They sailed in small sailing ships
from every little port, ancl wi Lb
very inadequate arrangements for
their welfare.
Contrary to what might 'perhaps
be expected, these poor people
generally sent me back the surn lent
within a year, and exceptions, I am
ashamed to say, were the very
persons of whom I had felt most
secure—very decidedly of a class
looked on 'is more respectable ;
while the poorer and less esteemed
absolutely never failed me—and
. they were many. They were also,
for the elost part, persons OVer whose
families or relations here I had no
power, as they were tenants of.
cotters on other people's estates.
Among these was a very large
and a very poor family. The eldest
alaughter was sent for by a relative
-who had emigrated some time be-
fore, and who paid her nas.sage to
New York. She dreaded going
atone, and succeeded in getting a
loan from me suf6cient to pay a
brother's passage, which was duly re-
paid within the year.
The next year the same lanaily,
hearing of situatious for two more
of their number, borrowed the
greeter part of two passages which
agaiu was repaid within the promised
time.
No very long after this another
brother borrowed the price of his
• passage,
But a year passed and no return
came. And a secoed -yeer likewise.
In the course of the third year his
brother-carnecto me and brought the
repeymen t (I think three pounds ten
ehi !lines)._
I asked him if his brother had
any thing to help his old mother, or
to asist another to go to New York.
He said he has notnot a far-
thing. .,
'' \Vhere is put brother now ?". I
asked. .
" I don't know where he is, it's so
long since he wrote."'
And, saying this, he suddenly
stopped and calmed.
" Wn v," said 1 " how long is it
since you heard from him 1"

said he did not know.

" Oh res."

The p or fellow was greatly co
