"There, take back yer dirty treasure, and bad luck to you, you spalpeen of a fairy, for decaying a Christian!" He threw with such force, that he flung himself off the stone--_and that woke him!_ Yes, the capture of the _Clericaune_, his wealth, his grand castle, and all his trouble were _a dream_. He got up and looked about him, a little bewildered at first, but soon recollected himself, and set out for home, a wiser and happier man than when he entered the Dargle that afternoon. It was late and supper was waiting for him. His good wife smiled when he came in, and put by her sewing; his sons and daughters had all come from their work or school, and greeted him affectionately. As he sat down with them to their simple evening meal of bread, milk, and potatoes, they noticed that he said grace with unusual fervor, and then looked round upon them all with tears in his eyes. His home was as humble as ever--but somehow, it had grown beautiful to him, for the sunshine of _contentment_ was over every thing. His wife was as far from riding in her carriage, and his boys and girls from being gentlemen and ladies, as ever; but he loved them and was proud of them for their goodness and honesty, and he felt that God had done better for them than he could do, with all the riches in the world. Antrim--The Giant's Causeway. THE POOR SCHOOLMASTER. The county of Antrim is not only one of the most picturesque, but most prosperous in all Ireland. It is also remarkable for being entirely surrounded by water--by the ocean, Lough Neagh, and the rivers Bann and Lagan. In this county vast quantities of flax are raised and manufactured into linen---chiefly at Belfast, the handsomest and most important commercial town in the north of Ireland. Belfast is particularly dear to me as a place where I spent many pleasant days, with some warm-hearted Irish friends, whose constant kindness and affectionate care made me feel as though my long voyage across the stormy sea was only a troubled dream, and that I was still at home, surrounded by the dear ones I had loved and clung to always.
