SADUBR ft CO., li Am (Mb* Ireland is a fruitful theme for the poet, the novelist, the orator, and the historian. Her wrongs find her grievances have been, like a thrice-told tale, so often repeated in song and story, that it may appear difficult, indeed, to add anything new to the sad catalogue of" op- pression on the part of England ahdof suffering on the part of Ireland. The English policy of coercing Irelauid into EngUsh views and English ideas i$ neither a wise nor a statesman-like one. The* love and devotion of a nation, like that of an individual, are secured more by. friendijr concessions, a!id a dewre t,o promote mut^ interests and prospentyr *han by oppre«SM@|. laws and cotrcive measure*. The Iriish aM% a generous and chivalrdus pe<^lc, whoe« friendship can be won by kindness and justici^f but they are, on the other hand, a jealpus^a resolute people— jealous ot their liberty, jeaj-' i r'-*'^''-^tiairtMff**^^ • ''*•" iv Preface. ous of their rights and privileges, and resolute in the maintenance of them, even though they had no other means to guard them but by band- ing together in that wild spirit of revenge which has been so fruitful of blood and misery. For seven hundred years England has tried a system of coercion on Ireland. It has failed in pacifying her. She has followed up this by maligning and slandering her before the world by her subsidized writers, such as Camr brensis and Froude. What is the result to-day ? Trampled and despised Ireland is prouder and more defiant than she was when the first Anglo- Norman set foot on her soil ; and her long-cher- ished inheritance— her Catholic faith— which has cost centuries of persecution and oceans of blood to wipe out, is to-day purer, stronger, tAnd more firmly rooted on her soil than ever. Such an introduction as this may appear out of place for a novel; but then it must.be fe- cdifected that this "o'er true tale" i8 founded cm the incidents arising from that most fearful period of Irisl^thistory and Irish suffering— the fwiine years. The unfeeling, unchristian spirit displayed at that time both by English states- men and the English pr«ss can never be for- gotten. When the Irish were dying by thou- sands of actual starvation, and when the living "were scateely able to bury the dead, the London '' ■ '•*' ■'■■ ■• ind resolute though they )ut by band- venge which sery. id has tried d. It has owed up this before the uch as Camr :sult to-day ? prpuder and I first Anglo- ir long-cher- aith — which and oceans ■er, stronger, than ever, y appear out must Jie rt' " is founded : most fearful ulTering — the i«-istian spirit iglish states- lever be for- ing by thou- len the living I, the London Prtfact, > Times, in a fit of jubilation, cried out— "The Irish are gone, gene with a vengeance ; the Lord be praised ! " In the same spirit English states- men prevented Turkey and other powers from sending relief to Ireland, as such generosity would look like a reflection on England. In fact, several steamers laden with grain had to return with their cargoes, and others were so ham- pered with red-tapeism that their cargoes rotted before they could be delivered. It is no wonder that starving Ireland became disaffected. It is no wonder, while, in the same spirit, the land- lords were wriphig out the unfortunate peassm- try to make room for sheep and black cattle, that many of them were shot by the infuriated people. Such assassinations were followed by 3pecial Commissions, and such men as Judge Keogh were instructed to do the work of the government, and to strike terror into the dis- affected— wliich iimply iheant^ohang all they coulchmuster up evidence enough against. The brothers Cownacle, who were executed in Nc- nagh. County Tipperary, were victims of this decimating policy. The first jury that ti*i6d them (on which jury, by the wayiirere H^ relatives of the writer), diwgreed aii#ilil« discharged; but Judge Keogft, fiiUy reii^d on doing the* work of his masters, imm#^c^ empanneled a more obseqwious one, and tlHiy j '1 Vl Preface. • were convicted and subsequently executed. The innocence of the Corntiacks of the murder of Mr. Ellis wfis so generally known that His Grace the Moit Rev. Dr. Leahy, Archbishop of Cashel, joinet*. in a petition to the Lord Lieu- tenant, requesting a commutation of their sen- tence. But, the fiat had gone forth; terror should be stricken into Tipperary, and two in- nocent young men were immolated in order that her Gracious Majesty might live in peace and reign in security. ' The scene of " The O'Donnells of Glen Cot- tage" has been laid in Tipperary, and the plot chiefly turns on the sufferings of the people during the famine years and the execution of the Cormacks. The characters introduced are each and all real personages, many of whom are living to-day. The name' of some few of them have been sli|^ly changed, but the ma- jority of them come befcare our readers under their real nameSi The pictures of the sufferings of the poor starved peasantry during the famine, the heart- less evictions of Lord Clearall, the treach- erous, unprincipled conduct of his agent, Mr. Ellis, and his sanctimonious protege, the Rev. Mr. Sly, are no fancy sketches. They are un- fortlmately true pictures of the state of Ireland at the time. 1 .-'ji Hi ji :• Preface. vii executed, he murder I that His hbishop of ^ord Lieu- their sen- :h ; terror nd two in- 1 in order e in peace Glen Cot- id the plot :he people cecution of oduced are r of whom ime few of »ut the ma- ders under ' the poor , the heart- he treach- agent, Mr. e, the Rev.

" Well, well, sure I might easily know who it was, for none other but mad-cap Alice would do the like," sud the priest, relaxing into good humour. " That's it," s^d the oUier, playfully; " yon now look like yourself; but you had sudi a cross look that time, you nearly frightened me; now» you look like a Christian, but these faces"— and shelrang her brows, curled her lips, and pursed her mouth, in imitation of Father O'Donnell — " pomie out in the garden, until we pluck the flowers and hear the birds ringing, this beantifnl evening.

Whether this is owing to onr nature, to our soil or climate, I cannot teU; but it is true, at least, and happy for us that it is so, for this pliant elasticity supports us through the many trying vioisntudes that have haittssed our country. The passionate elements of our strong nature seem but ill adi^ted to the state of self erance under which we Uve.

Father 0*Donnell had Jnst done breakfast, and was bantering Alice about something, when a sturdy beggar poked in her head, whioh was illnmi- nated with a broad grin. "Well, MoUy,** said the priest, « what's the mat- ter." "Not mndi, your holy riverenoe," said Molly, with a most subnusrire oonrtesy; " only, yon know, I am in a bad way; I have myself and the twoohllders to ■opport, and notUng in life to give them, but what we get from the neighbors, Ood reward themt ** •• Molly, I thonght yon were in the poorhonse t** " Oh, the ohUders were, yonr riverenoe; bat sure they oonldnH live in it.** "Why,MoUyT'' " They were se^g nothing bat the bad, one tiibg worse than another every day; they ooaldn't save their seals there at all, at all; Lord keep ns from it yoar riverence, it's the ainfal place."

Who can picture a mother's love as she oherishes her first-born; as she fondles it with enraptured gladness, her very heart throbs with a delight unknown to all save a mother. Thus were Frank and Alice insenubly drinking the delioiona poison. " Alice," Bud Fnuok, as he pressed her little head against his bosom. Alice looked into his face; there was a beaming mildness in her eyes, and her rich hair clustered around her face. *' Alice, darling, how wildly our hearts are beating; tell me, sweet one, is this love?** Alice hung down her head; a faint weakness came over her, and she nestled on his breast.

The ball was struck here and there, often puoked np in the air, then hit again before it reached the ground. Such lucky hits Were acknowledged by cheen from the spectators. Then by tumbUng, tossing, feint blows, and the like, at length one party succeeded in driving it to the goal, amidst % peal oif shouts and hurras from the friends of the victors. « , , .

Tmi villi^^ which has been the scene of many of the incidents narrated in this story, possessed many Other remarkable and interesting oharaotert not ia- trodnoed into tWs work. Our boyhood had beoi so impressed with their orifpnality and eccentridtiea that we are resolved to give a few of the most promi- nent of them a separate chapter to thepuislves, feel- ing confidenfthat our readers ^nU not be diq>l«8Md at the digression.

How often mve I seen a prottstype of poor Neal Matone, who was "blua moulded for the irant of abeatin»," in some prim Uttle 1 10 The ODonmlh of Glen Cottage, oozoomb, who atrutted about with all the pride of a bantam cook, until he was thoroughly M»bered down by a tennagant wife. How many a Paddy-go-ea«y ia to be found, even to-day, imoking hi> dndeen in the neighboring shebeen, complacently awaiting someone to drop in either to give him a treat, or to discuss politics and the affairs of the parish, while his garden lay untilled— the rain poured down through his cabin and his children ran- about half wild and naked. As a specimen of the Neal Malone style of blatant heroes, we remember a little hop-of-my thumb of a tulor, who kept the village in which he resided, in a continual broil by his bellicose, quarrelsome disposi- tion. He strutted about like an inflated gobbler, fuming inrftge at the most tiival reasons, and always ready to fight with some one. He was so small in appearance and sopugnadons in disposition that the boys of the village treated him with that pitying contempt a huge mastiff bestows upon a quarrelsome cur. But they soon had their revenge for the twlor got married, and his wife proved to be a perfect * vixen, the compound esseiioe of vinegar and galL The poor fellow soon, sobered down and inienribly dwindled away ahnost t6 a shadow; y«t, he oecar sionally made a show of authority f but the rebelliob was soon nipped' in the bud, and ttUy sttbrfded info- a patient, snbnuiwive imbjeot Having broken out on one oeoarioto int« A viodent rebellion agaittrt ^e mlihg powerst he walked up and d^wnliw atrieM "Jl le pride of a [sobered down 'addy-go-eaay hia dadeen in itly awaiting a a treat, or to pariah, while Mured down an- aboat half byle of blatant ly thumb of a le resided, in a slsome disposi- ated gobbler, ns, and always rasso small in Mition that the I that pitying i a qnarrelsome e for the tailor > bea perfect egar and galL md insensibly f yi to fly fnr refuge.

Ah i those were merry days and happy timei; for the gay, light-hearted peasantR passed good-na ,ured jokes, told amusing stories, anu danced to the music of the blind piper with an abandon and relish that was really as fascinating as it was natural. The honest fanner's house was a palace the night the blind piper visited it, for a oead mittt failth* sparkled in his good-natured face, and his laugh waa the heartiest, and his shout the loudest to greet soma funny story, or some ambitious pair of dancers who strove to tire each other down. When the dancing- master, Billy O'OarroU, was present "teaching the ignorant the art of dancing by grammar,** mnoh of Uiis abandon ancl innocent hilarity had to be keptin check, for Billy had marshalled his pupils around the room mth the regularity of a drill-sergeant, and if a luckless wight indulged even in a titter he was at once upb.'aided by the indignant danping-raaster af "^ ignoramnnh, who knew no betther; for, poor orathur, shure he never thnvelled or mixed wid the quality.** 1% is said that Charlea Dickeui took a special ^'^ light ic giving strange and sententious names ttl ^ characters, but, to his great surprise^ he soon fouW out that not a single one of them bnt had living repnMentatives} and, to erowtt the climax, he was one day paarfng a tailor^ ^t^shnimt ia tiia «w^ IMI 1 14 The aDemulU of Glen Cottage. roni of London, Mid, to hk ntt«r iorpriM, found tho name of the firm wm "Dombey & Son." So It if with wrltere of Iriih «tori«i, and of fiction in general; no matter how improbable the jharaoten thoy create, they learn to realiae the fact that the truth ia ■tranger than fiction. As the olawio village which b the aoene of our ■tory has been f amona for producing a itrange com- pound of oddltiei, fuir of Uughable eooentricitiea, whoee extravagant aoUona and fardoal behavior would make a hermit laugh, we wUl juat notice a few of them before we prooeed with the adventurea of our leading charaotera. A bridge oroaied the little stream near the rite of the old mill from which the vUlage derived iU name. This was, time out of mind, the headquarters of a bocoagh or simpleton, and no sooner had one gone the way of aU flerfh, than another mysteriouriy ap- peared, to take posaession of the boaet^ privilege. As the Salic Uw was not in force in this Areadian malm, the ruUng sovereign was just aa likely to be a woman as a man. Biddy Mortimer, a strange, half-witted creature, was the last of a long Une of ragged, besotted rulers. A niore strange ohareoter than Biddy could not be oonceived. She was alwaya dressed in torn, filthy rags, while she carried under her am a bundle of Itnw, wrapped up in a dirty counterpane. This was her bed and covering at night.

Ilg n>te oontributioDi of poUtoee, soup and meat the ■hopkeepera and othen contributed to her lupport, while in the other she usually carried a lot of sauce* pans, kettles, and tei^pots, strung together. Biddy's headdress was the crowning feature in her strange attire. Like all her sex, she had a passionate liking for bonnets, and every one she could find was trans- ferred to her wardrobe, which was no other than her head; so that it was no unusual thing to see her with a pile of bonnets rising from her head like a thatched steeple, while, beneath them hung her straggling looks and bunohes of gray ftnd faded ribbons. When Biddy became too feeble to levy oontributions upon her subjects, she was carted to the poor-house. Bat, bless your soul, she was not there a day when she raised a perfect revolution, and she had to be sent back to her filth and indepen- dentie. It was equal to a repeal meeting when Biddy was driven into the village. There she sat on the jaunting oar, with her bonneU bobbing up and down upon her head, her kettles and pMis jing- ling, and she flourishing the straw bed in triumph, while a crowd of her youthful subjeotl followed, laughing and shouting in mad discord. Biddy was not disturbed during the remainder of her reign, and a few years since she was laid to rest with the long line of rulera who had preceded her, Anolh«r straiigu eharaater was Shaun Hicks, the peddler. Shaun was a withered-faced, pnokered-eyed looUog oTMior*, and might pass for • br^lier to i . ; Il6 TktODonnells of Glen Cottage. •ny decent monkey. 8h»an (loari-hed though, and waxed wealthy, for hU wife kept a little huckster •tore, which added coni'derably to their income. 8ho was a iharp-eyed, ahrewd ylper, and though ih. blinked fearfully, ibit alwaya kept an eye open for buaineu. . . In one of poor Bhaun'a trampa through the coun- try to Mil hla gooda, death aelaed the old man, and he acaroely had time to reach home to prepare for the dread aummona.

"Ah," Bobbed the heart-broken woman— "poor, dear Shaun ia sensible to the last! •* 4< And Mrs. owes me three pounda two, which I will to my wife." " Dear me, what a good memory and clear head he has," sobbed the bereaved woman. After enumerating all that waa due to him, which b« left to his afflicted wife, amldat her frequent com- menta upon hU vlrtuoa, he reaumed. "And now, put down six pounds, which I owe Mr. and which I enjoin my Wife to— " "Stop, Btopl" exclaimed the aobbing woman, M though, »nil little huokater J their income. |nd though she eye open for igh the ooun- old man, tnd o preptre for the privet, bat in the TilUge II while liTing, in dying, lo he e Ave poondf^ romsn — " pooJr, inds two, which andolew h«id B to him, whioh r f reqoent com- 'hioh I owe Mr. bbing woman, Tht Blind Piper. 117 '* stop, the poor man ia raving.

She went into moarning for Bbaun, but in t^o weeks she had a much healthier and stronger man it^ partnership with her. But of all the odd charaotera whioh the Tillag* produced, perhaps Billy 0'(}arroU,thebop merchant, was the most amndug and interesUng. It was not because Billy dealt in hops, or malt, or anything of the kind, that he was called the hop merchant. Not at all, poor Billy was a dancing master, but thinking the name too vulgar, he dignified himself by the title of hop merchant, and hia pupils, and the peaa- antry in geneit^ humored the poor man's eooeh- trioity to bit nnspeakable gratificaUon. Billy generally pftroniied the farmers for milea around the Tillage, and instmcted tbe younger members of their families in all the myateries of heel and toe, cover the buckle, and Sir Roger de Coveriy. It was i««lly amusing to.iee with what Impor* Il« the ODonnells of Glen Cottage. tanoe he strutted aronnd as he ranged his papils in order bel re him, and gave them their instmctions, not forgetting occasional advice to the blind piper, such as, " go easy, the colleens can't keep up wid you," or " strike up, man alive, faster, don't you see we're all fallin' ashleep wid your music" Billy himself was the most remarkable figure of the whole group. His very dress indicated his im- portance, ilis white linen pants always looked as if they had only just come from the iron; his well- worn but clean di-ess coat, was adorned with shining brass buttons as large as a small plate, his vest and tie= too, were immaculate in their way, and the shine of his slippers was only equaled by the polish of his hat. The clothes, like himself, seemed en- dowed with the power of always keeping from grow- ing old; for thougfc -e knew him for years, we be- lieve he never bougia a new suit of clothes, nor grew a day older, at least in appearance. It is no wonder that our hero should look upon himself as a person of no WBiall importonoe, and on the poor, meek, bUnd piper, who sqneesed all kinds of outlandish mono out of his dirty bag>pipes, as a necessary appendage, merely to be toUrated. Billy always marshaUad out his pupils with tlie regularity of a general, and then with a smirk and a bow. would address tfaam thn^ "Siiss Nelly Qoin, what are we gbing to dano* tlui evening?"

"9 yon ? tbroth, yon want to get into grammar before you're out of your al-phabat! " Billy would most likely reply, for a double jig was his master-pieob, and was reserved for advanced or favorite pupils. If she persisted, Billy yielded with a very bad grace, and called on the old piper to strike up the Fox hnnter'a jig. If she did not dance it to lus satis- faction he retaliated bysneeringly remarking, *'So you wanted a double jig, anagh; well to be shnre, how high you want to jump; faith in troth, the next thing you will be asking for is a husband!** This sally, tff course, set the audienoe in a roar of laughter, and the young girl bluriied, and most likely, sat down to lude her confusion. When • favorite pupil was dancing Billy ducked and bobbed around like a jack in the box, flinging out his arms and feet as if they w6re attached to his body by some mechanical contrivances, in his eagerness to teach her his steps; and if her dandngwas to his satisf ac- tion, he cried oat in «otaoiea, ** That's it, sUok to that, ma ooUeenl four timet thatr-mise off and double there! that's it^-Hitiok^that; that's none of your common danoeN^I have grammar home in th« box for that— throth, ycnll soon be as good as meself ; maybe yon wont astniuA them at the orass of Oappanagrpun a Sunday, faith, Mrs. CFlyn, ya old Irish jitttkinao,*' lao The ODonnelU of Glen Cottage. outlived hi«tiine,Midwheiiqawlrme« and other fancy dances began to supersede the good old Irish dances, he could not patiently submit to his fate, so he moved around from farm-house to farm-house, railing against the degeneracy of tbo times, and as he re- peatedly shook Wa head, he emphatically exclaimed, "Well, well, this new f angled dance is Uke every- thing else that comes over from England, there is not much good in xi, and it makes the ooUeens as proud as peacocks, and as stuck up as a trussed turkey, to think that they can dance like the quaUtyl " Thus the poor hop merchi^ t lingered on, revdmg at the changed times, and ahaWng hia head unta he, at length, gave it the final ahake «nd dropped off the stage. and other fancy >ld Irish dances, hia fate, so he m-hoose, ruling B, and as he re« oally ozclumed, se is like every- land, there is not oUeens as proud nssed turkey, ta uaUtyl" irad on, reviling iking his head Bnal shake «nd OHAFTER IX.

The landlord took this very kindly of him, thinking tl»«t he was, in his seal for his service, providing for him industrious, enterprising tenants.

Al ant a mile further down the glen, seated on a rising gwund, stood the prond reddenoe of Lord Olearall, or, as it waa Styled, the Castle.

They know that their fate lies in the hands of the great man, whose had report to the landlord is as sure destruotion to th«m is ih« tikase of the Emperor of Russia to his i«rfs; therefore the Irish serfs must study the httmolr of thsir lord and master, and adapt their Itae of poHey aooord- ingly. It is a nioo pdnt of dispute who will go in first, hut the decide generally falls upon some one ahle to meet Ms retot in full. As soon as he comes out, he has to answer a regular f b of quea- tions in Itisb, such as:— •«Whathumbr1sMliiii#*^^Bilir says a poor follow who, perhi^i^IWi i lew l». some masters who use the power of life and death, with wM who laugh at th^r frantic cries, as the flame fat- tens on their fleeh.

Certainly not But then you'll tell me the law pro- tects the Irish peasant; he cannot be whipped or sooarged — ^he is a freeman. Ha 1 it is true they manage these things better in Ireland than they did in Kentucky. They h»ve a keen, systematic way of doing things, less savage in its executions, but not less sure in its results. They manage to kill the body by a slow process of petty persecution, by energies crushed, by the fluctuations of fear and hope deferred, to end in ruin; after which they too often try to kill the soul, by hoisting out the bribes of Judas to their victin^ Believe me, we are draw- ing no ideal lecture, dear reader. The enlightened statesmen of Burope wonder why the boasted, humane laws of England would not step in between the Irish Legrees and thnr viotims. The attention . of Europe is turning more and more every day to this anomaly. They know it u impossible for a country to progress and gian material wealth where power is used to cmdi, in the hearts of nullions, all those feelings, impulses, and incentives to industry that beget a nation's wealth; for a nation cannot be advanced by destroying in the heaarts' of the many the motives of industry.

In Tain yon tell me of the laws which sanction such a claim. There is a law aboye all the enactments of human oodes—the game throughout the world, the same in all times. . . . .

Orasly are making arrangements for the coming campaign. The library was a fine, spacious room, well furnished with richly-bound books, easy chairs, lounges, and the like, as if the muses were to be wooed and won in ease and luxury. His lordship was seated in an easy chair, at the head of the table. Near him sat Mr. EUis, looking over some accounts ; whilst Sir W. Orasly reclined on a lounge near the window, apparently watching Bome orange and lemon trees, that were peeping out of the conservatory into the library window. There were several busts, ou marbld pedestals, of his lordship's noble ancestors around the room; these, too, seemed to occupy much of the honorable gentlen^an's attention. Perhaps, he was thinking hew distinguished he would look in effigy, one of those fine days- -for he had little doubt that, as Boon as he got into piirliament (of which he had no doubt at idl) he would so astonish the conglom- erated jvisdom of Epgland, that he would b:> hon- ored with a niche araong the penates of his lordly friends.

Crasly was something of a Cockney in his way. He was a young man of some note in London ; a great favor- ite with the ladies, as he had considerable property in possession and more in expectation. He was, ir • deed,' a >«»ry eUgible match, and as his heart was rather soft and sentimental, many a pennUess beauty had laid her snares to entrap him. He had never been in Irehind before, though he had considerable possessions in it : but he left the unoontroUed man- agement of b'T estates to his agent, who liberally fleeced the poor tenants to feather his own nest. . It is true, he had a great dread of the Irish ; for, from aU he had read about their oold-Hoodc J murderous crimes and assassinations,. aU of which were en- dorsed by his agent, who di**. not wish him to oome over, perhaps to frustrate his own comfortable sys- tem of jaanaging h j property, he opnoluded thtt they were a very " hignorantjbpj'bMous set'' He thought that he conferred a greit favor on them by coming to misr-ipsesent them, and wondered with what apathy they were recdiring him.

Mr. Ellis took his leave ; he was in a fix ; he was ambitious of the honor of gaining the bench, yet he wished that the tenants should not support Lord Olearall's friends, as this would show his lordship what an ungrateful set they were, and set aside any qualms he might entertain as to the propriety of getting rid of them ; however, ambition triumphed. It is needless to recapitulate the fine promises made by the rival oandidates and their friends— the very handsome and polite oomplunents they paid one another. Sir W.

They find one class of candidates radi- cally opposed to their interest, and the other but waits fbr a good market to sell them to the best' advantage. On the election mor-Jng, Bfr. Ellis had a large number of jaunting cars, and vehicles of every de- scription, ready to convey the voters to be polled. There was a breakfast of cold meat, and plenty of bread and beer, ready for alL There was a motley group of Scotchmen, Protestant dependents, and a jbur sprinkling of Catholics ; the former laughed and ate with great gusto, the latter held down their beads, and slunk into ODrners.

While Mr. Baker was keeping up this parley with the women, a regular fight was going on between the police and the men. The mob rushed on them with stones, shafts of ears, burning brands, and the like ; and before they had time to fire a shot, the guns were dashed out of their hands, and them- selves hunted into the barrack, which was soon de- molished about their ears. During the conflict, Mr. Baker was in a terrible suspense. If he encouraged the police, and if that they were beaten, he feared the people would re- venge it upon him ; again, if he encouraged the people, it would look like treason, so he compro- mised the matter, by calling out— "Och, murther, do you hear that rapping? oh, these women will bum me.

"Ooh, honeys, dfurling I will ye let me out; all this fighting is on my aoeonnt ; duure, I'll make paaee." Some of the women, whose friends were engaged, The aDonnells of Glen Cottage. tore open the well, and dragged him, half dead, from it. "Bon, now, Mr. Baker, for the lore of Ood, and make peace." Mr. Baker did run, as well as he was able, bat it was into a hoaae, where he enaconced himeelf nnder a bed, from wbidi he did not atir until the appear- ance of a troop of dragoons in the village. This fight ynA a great epoch in Mr. Baker*! life, and often did he relate the marrellona feaia he per- formed. With wild cheers and yells the mob returned to the burning carriages. The dragoons eren had 'kO return without the voters ; thejr only succeeded in rescuing the police and Mr. Baker.* The people gained a great vietory ; some were killed, no doubt, but what of that, more were killed of the other parlj ; and Sir William Placeman was returned victorimialy,-— Sir William— the advocate of free farade, reform, Bepeal of the Union, and I don't know what not SKt^VI^&hb pnrieed the peo- ple, thmr devotimi lli^#» naoMMl vmam si nation- * I ]wv» not dnwn on mf inasiwtion for ttrto deetion MnAy.

Never were two years laden with more misery to an nnhappy people. The par- . tial failure of the potato crop, which threatened the Peasantry in the early stages of our tale, had now Ccome general and fatal The poteto was the staple food of the peasant ; it fed his pig to meet the land- lord's daims ; it supported himself and family in health and robustness j it left him his UtUe garden of oats or wheat, to suH^Jxhimiidf with dotoes, an J other Uttle luxuries.

The famine was doing its work, and had already sent thousands to premature graves, and thousands to die in foreign lands, and thousands more to feed the fishes of the AtUntic. You may ask me what was the Government doing all this tune ? Wiw it not passing remedial measures to give employment to the poor?
