One cannot travel in Irelana without perceiving that thf so maiiy horsepower and perpetual catching of trains theory of life ia not oue that is accept éd by tlnIrish people, and I do not think it ever will be. Their religión, the;r traditiou, their eilief oecnpatioiis, their temperament, all of which I suppose are closeJy allied, are pppoeed to it. The saying, "Takeitaisy, and if yon can't take it aisy take it as aisj as you can," doubtless represents their theory of life, and, tor my part, if it were :v qnesticn cither of dialectics or of morals, I would sooner have to defend thaf view of existence than the so many horsepower one. So far from a %vise mai, getting all he eau out of himself in one direction, he will, it seems to me, rigidly and carefully abstain trom doing so in the interestá of that catholic and harwonious developruent which requires that he shonld get a little out of himself in every direction. One would not like to assert that the bulk of the Irish people are "harrnoniously deveJoped. " But neither, if I may be permitted to say so, are the Ënglish or the Scotch people, and i in reality all three probably err by lobsided activity or lobsided inactivity, it still remains to be seeu whether too much perpetual oatching of trains or too rnuch taking it "aisy" is, onthewhole, the wiser course and the loss insane interpretation of the purport and uses of Ufe.
