Miss Edge worth is my great favorite. I know her works almost by heart. By the way. perhaps you can solve a difii culty which has often puzzled me in the geography of Ireland. Why is its sir, that in every map of Ireland I have ever seen, the town of Ballinasloe is placed on the wrong side of the river Suck?" I could not forbear laughing at the singularity of the quesiioo, whilst I re plied" M we are to be fallow passen gers, Mr. .Randolph, I may as well confess my ignorance at once, by de claring that f not waly cannot answer your query bot I really was not before aware that there waa a river of that name in Ireland, never having visited Bsllinasloe;" and I then asked" how came rou to know the localities ol Ire land ao minutely?" " By books, con versation, and the blessing of a memo ry w,hich never forgeta any thing," he replied. In Tact we were not two days osethery- before I discovered that he was tntfmitely acqttalBtedithr erery part ol bngland, Ireland and Scotland not. only as to cities and towns, but gentlemen's country seats; and he knew the history ot every celebrated horse-race and of every race-horse in England, tie was very Tond or dis playing his knowledge oflhe most mi oute facts1 on these points, and it was very .agreeable to myself and the other passengers to listen to him.
