Irish Thirst for Gore.

An Englishman landed at Dublin a
lew months ago filled with apprehen-
sion that the life of any loyal subject OF
her majesty was not worth "A farthing
there and thereabout. The Land Lea
guers, he imagined, were all blood
thirsty assassins, and all that sort OF
thing. But it was his duty to travel
I'm the land--a duty he approached
with fear and trembling. Now, there
happened To- be on his route a number
of towns, the names of which begin
with the suggestive syllable xii. y
These were kilmartin and SO on. In
his ignorance ofthe nomenclature his
afirighted senses were startled anew
on hearing fellow passenger in the
railway carriage remark to another as
follows:
Pm just after bcin over to Kilpat-
rick
And I, y replied the other, Fam af-
ter bein over to Kilmaryn
"What murdcrers they are. ~ thought
the Englishman. "And to think that
they talk of their assassinations 50
publicly"
But the conversation went on.

as the latest tint in that shade.
Plain jerseys of red or blue are much
worn with lawn-tennis costumes.
There is greater variety in the styles
of bathing suits than was ever bfore
displayed,
Sleeves of dresses and wraps are
worn exceedingly high, and full on the
shoulder.
The Chinese driving-cloak with sahot
sleeves has taken the place this season
of the French redingote.
Silk jerseys, gloves in strawberry red,
pale yellow, nuns gray and black will
be more in vogue this summer than kIl
gloves of any sort.
In French importations of costumes
the polonaise appears once and again in
varied forms and with endless styles OF
drapery and garniture.
Pale yellow and bright gold are the
colors triumphant even in floral garni-
ture. The gaudy sunhower has sunk
into oblivion, but is replaced by prim-
roses, cowslips, marigolds, kingcups,
Narcissus and marshmallows.
Furnished gold, mandarin yellow,
and the creamy shade of raw silk are
the tints in yellow more favored this
season than that of old gold or copper
color, so fashionable last year; while
sage green has given way to peculiar
leaden-green known as porphyry; and
cadet blue is replaced by nemophilac-
the color of that flower.
Handsome toilets of strawberry col
ored ottoman silk are shown, with deep
founces edged with wide cross-way
bands of darkest plum-colored velvet,

draping is blending of the two ma

4 GOODNIGHT.

With the days garments lay
Thine earthly cares away,
As an DER wearied child casts down lts toys;
Bid the wild throbbing cease
That broke thy heart deep peace,
Amid life's surging waves of griefs ana joys
Take to thy darkened room
No shade of inward gloom,
Since angels gather there to guard thy rest;
And through the silent night
Gather from fields of light
Some healing herbs to bind unto thy Dreast
From life's perplexed affairs,
Its memories, hopes and prayers,
Thou wilt lie down to slumber sweet ana deep,
But who can say for thee
Where shall the wakening be?
WIN earth or Heaven the future harvest reap!
Go, then, forgiving all,
Upon thy God to call,
Life's crown of thorns no longer on tiny prov;
And, famed by angels wings,
Dream of all glorious things,
And. with thy guides, at Heavenly affairs DOW.
Fresh as the morning dew
Begin thy life anew,
If such thy Fathers will upon the eartn;
Pluck from the past its flowers,
To garland future hours.
But leave the thorns in soil that gave them

that chickens are defeathered, leaves
