•* ¦^^^^^^ Mflfl ^^^^^^^^^ ^^ M r * , . .. ... Reformation by means of Kindness : a Story from Life * . [ Th £ following anecdote is extracted from a letter received by the Editoir , respecting a gentleman with whotti ^ e was acquainted , a member of an Unitarian congregation . ]
OEVEN or eight years before his 13 decease , our friend found that one of his clerks had wronged him considerably , and I believe even put his life into his power ; without appearing to have discovered the
circumstance , Mr . desired the yottug man to come to his dwelling-house in the afternoon ; he watched for his arrival , opened the door himself , and after leading him up into a chamber and locking the door , informed him that all his misconduct was made
known . Pale and trembling ; the offender dropped upon his knees ; the master bade him not be terrified at the punishment , but think of the guilt of the deed which he had done ; and after saying as much as he thought
would be profitable , he left him , carrying the key from the outside of his door . Before night he took him refreshments , and talking to him again , desired him to go to bed and reflect . He
treated him in the same way through the whole of the next day , suffering no one to enter the room but himself , and endeavouring to impress his mind , in a manner that you will imagine better than I can describe . When the
succeeding day drew to a close , he visited him for the Ia $ t time , saying , * I now come to release you ; here is a letter to a friend of mine in London , who knows nothing of your crime ,
and will give you immediate employment . Here is money , * added he , putting a purse iato his hand , * to support you till your first quarter ' s salary becomes due / . He then co n * f lucted him out of the house unseen

Lord Cork and Protestant Bigotry in Ireland . A MONG the mdst distitiguishecl : ZjL names connected with the history of Youghail ; the most eminent Is
that of Richard Boyle , or , as he is commonly styled , the great Earl of Cork , who landed in Ireland a needy and speculative adventurer * and in a short time acquired honours , titles and
wealthy by what means affords a fansubject for inquiry , and one which most writers have been willing to record on his own assertion , as JLord Cork has left a memoir of his success
in life , written by himself in a tone of humility that ill accords with his known arrogant and haughty demeanour , when he had no purpose to serve
by a contrary behaviour . Lord Cork is said to have powerfully advanced the English interest in Ireland / and it must be granted , if the severest intolerance has been
beneficial to the cause of union : the bigotry of the Protestants against their Roman Catholic brethren in those towns under his influence reached-a degree of marked violence unknown in any
other part of the kingdom , and which feeling is not entirely eradicated at the present hour ; I need only instanide the town of Bandon , where , over the principal gate , an inscription once stated that
JEW , TURK OR ATHEIST MAY ENTER HERE , BUT NOT A PAPIST . The folio vying severe reply to this offensive inscription is said to have caused its removal :
Whoever wrote this , wrote it well , For the same is written on the gates of HelL At Youghall it was forbidden in 1678 , and remains on record , that a Papist should buy or barter any thing
in the public market ; and the manuscript annals of the town , from which I have been favoured with extracts * afford evidence of the illiberally of its corporation towards those of ithjB Gatholic persuasion ; nor is it without regret that I add the cnactmeatjs quo-
