This roused the blood of one of the audience and he was an Irishman! He could not sit still and hear the land of his birth caricatured, or permit any one to go away with false impressions; and so, in parliamentary phrase, he "got on his legs," and in glowing and energetic terms rebutted the charge of Ireland being a miserable and a degraded country. DUBLIN, he told them, was one of the finest cities of Europe, having a greater number of benevolent institutions than any one of a similar size throughout the world; while with genuine Irish eloquence he enlarged upon the politeness and hospitality of its inhabitants, the splendor of its public buildings, and the variety of its literary and sci- entific associations. When he concluded, a dissenting and well-known clergyman of Glasgow, an intelligent and liberal man, started to his feet, and exclaimed, "Breathes there the man with soul so dead, "Who never to himself hath said, "This my own, my native land!" Thunders of applause followed, and the honest and outspoken defender of his native metropolis sat down amid the approbation of a large audience.Now look at the wood-cut, and say if, even in this indistinct view, Dublin does not deserve the appellation of "a fine city?"
