God Save Ireland"

1rds of the Irish victims of English law in Manchester
Again, to glut the lions NAV,
That cruel farce called British law,
Holds out its hand with glitt'ring bride,
And gathers round greedy tribe
Base things who, each, for gold would sell
His mother to the prince of hell.
These swear to what they never knew,
The law accepts their words as true;
This monstrous, murd'rous legal lie
Condemns the brave and true to die,
To show the might of England's crown,
And awe the rebel Irish down.
The spirit that in days gone by
Your racks and gibbets dared defy,
Oh, Pharisee of lands, in vain
You try to trample out Again
1t rises with redoubled power
To strike you in your weakest hour.
The God of Justice knows what time
Will end your reign of blood and crime,
And when it comes you'll surely find
How fruitlessly you strove to bind
The Irish spirit; stern and proud,
With hand unshackled, heart unbow'd,
Shall Ireland, strong through years of gloom,
Hurl on your head the bolts of doom.
They who for Erin dare and die,
The closest, nearest kindred tie
To us could never make more dear.
Then, oh, our brothers, while the tear
Must fall above your martyred clay,
Re-echoing your words, we say:
Good save old Ireland" while more strong
BECOMES our hate of cant and wrong.
The tortures they have made you feel
Shall nerve our arms and edge our steel,
Shall cause our petty strifes to end,
Each foe to Britain make our friend,
And make us hate her friends-we know
That England's friend is freedoms foe.
God save old Ireland-bless and save
Her faithful sons, the true and brave;
The Irish republic. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1867-18??, 1867-12-21

God save her soil from slav'ry's blight,
And make her strong for truth and right
We know the great apostles taught
That faith without good works is nought,"
And prayer that is not backed by deeds
Will never aid us in our needs;
So when we say, God save our land,
With earnest heart, determined hand,
Well work to save her. and shall see
Our answered prayer in Ireland free

POETRY
Written for The Irish Republic

Written for The Irish Reput
Song of the American Irish Brigade.
BY II. IRWIN. DUBLIN; IRELAND.
Dim was the hour when, exiles, we,
In the cause of Right that knew no rest
Saw the green hills sink through the sea,
And turned sad faces towards the West.
Many day upon our way
We surged across the watery space,
Consoled to think that, come what may,
We find a home among our race.
But, soon the trump by Justice blown
Calls us to arms with stormy tone,
To right wrong and render strong
Forever the land we've made our own;
Hateful to Erin's sons had grown
Slavery allwhere under the sun;
And as our southwark march begun
This was the song of each Irishman:
"All save Liberty we disclaim,
Fight for Liberty death or fame
In such cause is just the same.
Sorrow and care
Fall to the rear,
Freedom and courage march in the van."
Tempest and battle before us lowered,
The cannon Numbered by hill and glade;
But consecrate was the blood that showered,
Till fearful Victory sheathed the blade.
Now hate and death have spent their breath,
While on the Union soil we stand,
Watching while fades their vanishing wrath
The resurrection of the land.
Glorious visions before us rise,
In the light of civilizations skies,
Union and peace and rich increase
Heralding on its destinies.
Propitious over our soil and seas
Sun of the western heaven shine
But if ever a fate with frown malign
Shall summon to war the Irishman,
Unto the great Republic bound
Singing he'll speed to the battle ground:
Gland of the West we're faithful found,
Fall to the rear
Comfort or care,
Duty and courage march in the vanp

occupied that have had no time to write any
letters but such as were indispensable, nor had
leisure to write anything which would have
been worth offering to be laid before the ami
versary meeting of the Equal Rights Associa-
ton. Since that time, however, many things
have happened, and among others the debate
in the House Of Commons on the motion for
giving the suffrage to women. The unex-
pectedly large minority which the proposal
obtained, and the thought and discussion
which IL excited in quarters where the subject
had never been thought of before, have given
an immense impulse to the question. Num-
bers, both OF men and women, in all ranks.

Martin, an emplOye on board the steamship
Niagara, and his wife. Martin was in the nabit

informed that he could continue to do so pro-
ylded he conducted himself properly, remark
ing that grounds for suspecting hun had been
offered him, which he discredIted. Last night
on Smiths return home from work, his sus-

MOUNT DESERT, Me-, July 25.-Ths little sea-
port town has been suddenly overspread with
grief at q disaster which took place in Bar har-
excursionists sailed down the harbor in the
middle of the day with a favorable wind. There
were two boats, one of which contained party
OF eight. and the other party of ten. The boat
conveying the smaller party was capsized by q
squalI while passing Egg Rock, in the
centre of Frenchmans bay. There was a
high sea running at the time, and the frail
boat and the unfortunate passengers were
almost immediately swallowed up. Only one

the telegraph has stated, were Rev. r. g.
Chase and wife, Miss Haupt, Miss Tazewell, and
Josiah Harmar, all OF Philadelphia; Francis Il.
Clark and wife, of Framingham, Mass, and
Captain @. Robinson, of fremont Me. Only
one OF the bodies of the drowned was recovered,
although every effort was made by the parties
who witnessed the disaster to save them before
and after death. Miss Blake was saved by cling
ing to an oar, and was unconscious when res
cued. She is being kindly cared for by the citi-
zens here.
Rev. Mr. Chase was a man OF rare social quail
ties, and had won many friends during his brief
sojourn here. He was pastor OF the st. Matthias
Episcopal Church of Philadelphia. Mr.. Clark
was cashier of the Framingham (Mass.) Ma
tional Bank, and both he and his. wife were
among the most respectable and highly es-
teemed residents of the town. Mr.. Harmer

plunged into the deepest grief and the whole
town is sad and mournful. 1t is not probable
that any of the bodies will be recovered.
