Irish Emigration.
In Ireland for years emigration has been, us it were, a fever. From the time they arrive at the age of consciousness boys and girls in that country are turning their hearts and their eyes to tho lands beyond the seas, whither so many of their kith and kin have flown before them. “He’s going to America,” a phrase that should have the saddest of all mesinings to them, is for the young people of Ireland only the expression of a fondly cherished hope.—Donahoe’s Magazine.
