TELL ME YE ZEPHYRS SWEET"

From "fhe Sparkling Stream
and music adapted the
TELL NE YE ZEPHYRS SWEET"
Tell me We zephyrs sweet that round softly come
Do ye not know spot where morals drink rum?
Some pleasant happy vale, mountains the moon,
Where man may dwell meet one Lager Beer Saloon?
The zephyrs murmured in their accents low: ...
We've tried to find that spot, but twas no go.'
Tell me- thou ocean blue, whose waters wh the Shore
Knowes thou blessed spot where topers
Where womankind may know in life pure delight
Nor wake up from her Dreams and find her husband tight
The angry pillows loudly thundered No!
While all the little waves cried out JeS so.'
And thou oh radiant sum- that with such gories shine
Knowest thou place where Brandy, Gin and Hine
Are all unknown to man where he his thirst may slake
AT some sweet rustic WELL or in cooling lake?
The blushing sun withdrew his face in frown,
You'll find it not, he cried in Lewistown
Tell me ye giant minds that make or break laws,
VIII there not come time triumphant for our cause?
glorious time where shall join with man,
And their household altars the temp rance plan
All, all responded in one uniting voice.
That time OiH come-ANERICANs, REJOICE.

was fast growing colder and mister.
The block huts of the camp, seen
only in dim outline, soon were the
only hints of human life in the dreary
prospect. As far as the eye could
distinguish within the warning limits
of the light, all was barren and cheer
less. The sky above looked waste al
the heath itself, and drearier: for
there were still those constantly re-
curing patches of furze to break the
green monotony below, while there
was nothing at all TO break the gray
monotony above. How, la such sofa
tary places at such times, the mind
also seems to close in from above and
on all sides in twilight sort of way,
everybody knows. Mine soon got
into that condition as we rolled over
the noiseless turf; so that it was. with
a start l presently saw a bare headed,
bare-footed woman standing only a
few feet distant. Had the figure
sprung out of the earth or dropped
from the clouds, my surprise could
not have been greater; true though
it was that | had come to Ireland to
see this very woman-her and her
companions. At the same moment,
There's wrin, sir! Jimmy shouted:
land there's nest! and there's an
other!'o 700 -.''G ~. 49, = ast7
= saw no nest. The clumps of furze
looked little thicker than usual in
the direction indicated, but there was
nothing more remarkable about them.
But when, jumping from the carl
walked few PAGES onward, / under
stood better what nesting on the Cur
ragh is. These heaps of furze are
built and furnished for human oecu-
patton; and here and there outside
them were squatted groups of those
who dwelt therein-winter and sum-
mer in bit of BUSH" Not one or
two, but several groups-half naked,
Notwithstanding considerable
colony. 1t is too late In this paper to
describe what those creatures were
like who lived In this wild way, and
what the manner of there life is; it
might be left for another occasion.
L spent long night amongst them
afterwards, and believe / know
pretty well all that is worth knowing
of tribe of outcasts as interesting,
perhaps, as any which the scientific
men Of the Abyssinian expedition are
thing I may as we'll add here. When
your correspondent who inspected
the casual wards of Lambeth. told
what he had seen there, he thought
it necessary to warn your readers that
there was not single word of it that
could justly be called exaggerated.
So | assure them that what [ may
have to say of the Curragh shall not
have a touch of false $ color = any
where. But of course, in dealing
with such matter, great deal must
be suppressed. fafaE
