ST PArRIcK's DAY.
From the Washington Chronicle.
To FRESHMEN AND WOMEN: Another 18th of March is
at hand-anoher anniversary of Irelands Patron
Saint
Shall we regard this day as one of rejoicing and festvity
and brothers in Ireland and England starving in dun
geons and dying in chains?
Shall spend our and our time in festive feass-
in feastng and drinking, and vapory speechesand the
mothers wives and daughters of imprisoned brothers
starving in the land which their protectors brave but
endeav0red snatch from the tyan! Snail
halls dine in uxures echo our useless speeches
the festive board while the damp walls of the cells of Pen
tonvile prison echo the signs of hearbroken patriot
brothers fed bread and water? Shall festive songs go
round mid jokes and joy while brave men, victims of the
habeas corpus act dragged from their homes and flung
into dungeons by the word of hired and perured spy
by the lettre de ace of titled plunderng magnate?
The people weep-all Ireland in poverty and suffering
weep and each day the yran adds cash her bleed
woundsand for whom she weeps and they suffer-
REJOICE! Oh the rejoicing like light graves like the
dancing of the unthnkng slave to his caning chains
But let them all be forgotten-they like Emmett and
Fitzgerald and Shears and Tone unsuccessful what of
them? Bring your banners let them pine prison ens
your ribbonpped wand scarfs; let the widows
and orphans and famish send them not cent but
lavish all on SELF
the festive board be spread though they have but bread
and water speeches be made sick of speeches.
The voice. the speech God gave these use with free
dom heard The Saxon commands silence and the
Tailor have it. Let the Intoxicating cup that brings
forgeulness go gay round's patriotic to forget them.
Let the bubbles of pleasure sparkle the brm of your
gaseey gave pleasure for the land they loved
the BEST and dared the Let the lightning of wit and
reparee the atmosphere of that surrounds you
them the dark mephtc atmosphere of their
dungeon of children wife, mother sister, This they
may never hear again. But let revery have its fling and
happy and song round and the uproarouy
gay; day and night all the hem the hours pass
by leaden wings, and the and God ordained
should shine all shines on them!
ST. Patrics day and its festivities oer the lights fled the
garands dead seek your happy homes that hold your chill
dren let conscience upbrad you with neglecng them
whose home the dungeon whose children SILVER poverty,
without home, without father, without protector.
