perhaps the bcl and the most valuable part of his edu cation he derived from hi mother his parents were both persons of stiong natural scne his father although tlw farm which he held did not exceed fourteen acres twu universally respected and we haw heard his on lell with tears in his etc that his funeral was the largest ever seen in that part of the country a tnbute which onlv an irishman can thoroughly appreciate but it was from his mother thai he inhering his genius from her too he learned his fond ness for the tales and traditions of his reun ify he o states that he has spent whole days in listening to her singing old irish tongs from the poetry of which her son grst perhaps derived his passion for romance in his early jay he mingled in a the sports and exercises of the peasantry and then it was thai he witnessed those scenes which none but himself has ever ye truly described the ambition of every irij romah ca tholic farmer is t have one at least nf his sons in the church and
