Here is one pushing by who will not be a fool, as he thinks--he's for the emigrant-ship.

Ask yourself if the people who go out from the remote places of Ireland, quiet-spoken and ruddy-faced, and return after a few years loud-voiced and pallid, have found things exactly as their hope.

They protest, yes; but their voice and colour belie them.

Take the other man who does not emigrate but who has his fling at home, who "knocks around" and tells you to do likewise and be no fool--mark him for your guidance.

You will find his leisure is boisterous, but never gay.
