Mr. James Redpath, in one of his soul-stirringlectures, says: I have been in several villageswhere every man, woman and child in them wouldhave died from hunger within one month, orperhaps one week, from the hour in which therelief that they now solely rely on should berefused, because the men have neither a mouthfulof food nor any chance of earning a shilling, norany other way of getting provisions for theirfamilies until the ripening of the crops in have entered hundreds of Irish cabins in districtswhere the relief is distributed.

I did not find them so. I foundthem in the west of Ireland a sad and despondentpeople, care-worn, broken-hearted, and shroudedin gloom. Never once in the hundreds
