rinciple were best calculated not
only to improve it, but to place a landlord and his tenantry on that
footing of mutual good-will and reciprocal interest upon which they
should ever stand towards each other.

We need scarcely say that the sympathy felt for honest Jemmy Burke, in
consequence of the disgraceful conduct of his son, was deep and general.
He himself did not recover it for a long period, and it was observed
that, in future, not one of his friends ever uttered Hycy's name in his
presence.

With respect to that young gentleman's fate and that of Teddy Phats,
we have to record a rather remarkable coincidence. In about three years
after his escape, his father received an account of his death from
Montreal, where it appears he expired under circumstances of great
wretchedness and destitution, after having led, during his residence
there, a most profligate and disgraceful life. Early the same day
on which the intelligence of his death reached his family, they also
received an account through the M'Mahons to the effect that Teddy Phats
had, on the preceding night, fallen from one of the cliffs of Althadawan
and broken his neck; a fate which occasioned neither surprise nor
sorrow.

We have only to add that Bryan M'Mahon and his wife took Nanny Peety
into their service; and that Kate Hogan and Mr. O'Finigan had always a
comfortable seat at their hospitable hearth; and the latter a warm glass
of punch occasionally, for the purpose, as he said himself, of keeping
him properly sober.
