From my boyhood I remember the 11 ish National Series of school Read- ers then used m our Canadianlschc ols. Now, for the tirst time I was a visi- tor in a school, under the management of the authoxity which gave that series birth. To the pro- fessional part of our readers. a descrip'ion of this little institution would doubtless he very interesting, but. I will not wm-rv the general reader with details. The building is nothing like our Canadian School- houses. Indeed it is seldom one can see here. or in Great Britain, except in the cities and towns, any school buildings better adapted for their purpose than our own. Of our rural schools we have just reason to be proud. for I think in this respect we we can stand comparison with any Other country. The inside of this little school is still less like ours. The first thin" noticeable is the want of a blackboard. No there is a black board, but it is only a board of some six or eight Square feet, supported by Tests on atripod. None other was provided. But notwithstanding the dearth of app' iances the standing of the pupils \\ as very well indeed. Writing, Drawing and Music were espvcially good. All the girls in certain forms are taught domestic economy It seemed peculiar to see them take knitting needles and begin knitting as one of their studies, or take sewing needles and begin sewing. Both were done expeditiously and thl. The teacher seemed to be at young lady of strong personalitv, and apparently had no difficulty in maintaining order or managing the “' unorganized throng of infantry” in the primary classes. The presence of the clergyman of the village. and some other friends made the afttr- 1;~~u visit a very pleasant one. I s1 all not weary you with further d~ "is of this beautiful country. but hasten on to Dublin, where I had but scant time to View its many at- tlilt":('HR. Three or four days should lie s t apart for Dublin in order to run its public buildings. streets, lirilges. monuments, cemeteries, pa'ks, gardens and churches, with any degree of sat‘sfaction. but as I lrulonly a part of that time at my disp-sal my visit was necessarily hurried. However, I made the best of the time at my disiioeal. Ap- proaching the city from the \Vest, I neted the famous Kilmainham gaol in "'llll'h were confinel the suspects .n the Land League days. Many a noted prisoner and clever man has has his abode in this gloomy precinctâ€" some for crimes which have shocked the. sensibilities of all civilized nations, others for mistaken pa'riot- istn or trivial ofiences against the powers that be. The walls look strong enough to resist the attempts of Mob Rule to rescue prisoners, and many a. serious scrap has taken place between the police and the mob. Behind. to the right can be seen one of the man» barracks, which are here and there scattered over the city and a little further on is the Ullit n “'orkhouse --a. Special feature of this country in both urban and rural dis. tricts. KingfihridgeStation,conven- iently situated on the South hank of the Lifl'vy, is soon reached.

Nothing pleased me better than to strike up a conversation with any of this class either in country or city. A few such convinced me that the wit ascribed to the true native is the genuine articleâ€"more humorous and subtle than the Spurious kind, made to order by imitators and would be humorists. To return to the city itself, thnix Park is the first plice visited. '2 One of the main entrances is just across the River at, ,King’g Bridge. Ascending a gentle slope from the iron gates, which guard the entrance. one is soon on the broad level of the Park overlooking the city to the South. The highways leading into the Park, and those crossing and recrossing it in all directions, are wide. smooth, and hard, and graded with gentle curvature to either side. Along the main driveways, and sep- erated from them by grass plots some 8 or 10 feet wide, are foot paths. also kept in first-class condition. The Park is said to contain about 1800 acres, and is one of the finest in Europe. It is free to all the citizens of Dublin. except some small enclos- ures set apart for Athletic games to which when football, cricket. or other such game is in prOgress, a fee is charged. The Vice-regal residence is in the Park, and a pretty place it seems to be. The lofty stone column erected in memory of the Duke of Wellington. on the highest, part of the ground. is the most conspicuous of the kind in the city. It is in the form of a square pyramid, 205 feet f high, built of grayish stone. out i rather small one would think for so lmassive a column. placed‘upon a 'liaSe of huge stone blocks. cemented ilt‘tnly trigellit't', lending to the whole ,9” air of solidity that impresses one. 9Not far off is the (iough Statue, and l further on are The People’s Gardens. ibeautifully laid out with flowers, rockeries, etc. .The Zoological gar- dens are also in the Park. These are ‘chietly famous for their apes and “lions. Nowhere else. except perhaps lin their native forests, do apes and lchimpanzees grow to so great an age as] here, and lion breeding is a specialty with these gardens. Since 1857. 185 cuhs have been born. Many of these have been sold and the pro- ceeds invested in other animals, thus increasing the variety of animals without anydirect cost to the city. l But the place of greatest interest in l the Park seems to be the scene of the ' Burkeâ€"Cavendish murder. The spot l is marked by no mound or stone, to lkeep in mind the hideous details of the awful crime. There is a general desire to forget the tragedy. 'for. as every citizen will tell you, no other event did so much harm to Ireland. Along one of the main highways near the centre of the Park. and not far. from the residence of the Lord Lieutenant, where a beautiful view of the Park can he had in all direc- tionsâ€"the last place one Would think to be chosen for such an evil deedâ€" ,the murder was committed. Now {nothing remains to tell the story but lull, VV .1 bread irresistible accent in his speech is selected from among the many, to drive you round. Stipula- tions as to fare, time, etc., must be made beforehand with these gentry, else you may get into trouble in the end, for the Dublin Jarvey has a national reputation for insatiable greed. This quality was tested by lari English gentleman who gave the {driver a half-sovereign for the trip ifrom the station to 'the hotel. The right tare was one shilling. The gold was pocketed instantly and the Englishman was asked for some small coins additional. This was too much for even a jok‘w of 'such liberaltty. He told the driver he had already given him ten times the amount of the fare. “Thrue yer honor,” said the driver, " yer a gintleman, but if I take this to the sthore they’ll be after brakin’ it.” That evidently he did not wish to do, hence the desire for small coins. The Dublin j'trvey ishowever a good hearted fellow, and the whole trip with him may be one of the brightest, wittiest and most amusing possible. He knows every place, every noted person who ever lived in or around Dublin, and every important event that took place within it for several hundred years: He is full of anecdote, and sallies of1 wit sparkle in his conversation, rude and unlearned tho’ it be. Indeed’ it is among the least educated that the most amusing sayings and the most genuinely Irish witticisms are heard. ‘bVV\- --'â€"â€"v lwhip. and his familiar accompanying [“ Beg Pardon Sir, Want a car.” or lgently informs you that he will take lyou and your luggage, cheap. to any part of the cityâ€"these all remind you that you are no longer in the peaceful. quiet country. at amidst the busding, jangling, yaWping, irrepressible cabhy of the great city. . From Kingsbridge Station, either by tram car or jaunting car, easy access can be had tn all parts of the city. The latter is generally chosen as being the Speediest mode of loco- motion for an irregular trip to the important places within and around; the city limits.- Therefore a modest-‘ looking, fun loving, native Hybern- ian, with a good horse and car, and small triangular pa‘ch of'bare l‘I‘IE DURHAM UHR Mr. F.
