then read an essay on the old, but never
exhausted subject, English Rule in
Ireland" The main thought running
though his essay was, Ireland's land is
landlords land, charging Eng
lish statesmen with bringing about the
present condition of the people by pass
ing such tyrannical laws as the recent
Coercion law.
Mr.. 5. NJ. Smith was given the sub
jec, IAN American Abroad, for an
impromptu speech, and responded in
his usual happy style with some of his
practical experiences while in Mexico
The club then proceeded TO elect their

Thefollbwlng beautiful lines we're fur
nished TO the News for publication by
NJ. vi. Mason, OF this city:
Don't go 10 the theatre, lecture or ball.
But stay VA your room tonight;
Deny yourself 70 the friends that call.
And good long letter write.
Write 10 the sad old folks nj home,
Who Sit when the day j. done
with folded hands and down-east eyes.
And think OF ths absent ono.
Don't selhshly scribbIe: Excuse my haste,
I've scarcely the tame 20 write,"
Lest their brooding thoughts 20 wandering
back
To many a by-gone night,
when they lo.t their needed sleep AMI rest,
Aud every breath was a prayer
That Cod would leave their delicate babe
To their tender love and care.
Don't let them feel n at you no more need
Their love and council wi.e;
FOr the heart grows strongly sensitive
When age las dimmed the eyes.
10 might DO well to let them believe
Non never forget them quite
That you deem II pleasure when far away
Long letters home 10 write.
Don't think that the young and giddy irienC
Who makes yonr paslime gay,
Has half the anxi ions thoughts for you
That the old folks have tc-1ay.
Tho duty OF writing do not put on
let sleep or pleasure walt;
Let not tie letter for which they've longed
lie a day, or an hour. too late
For the sad old folks nj home
With locks fast turning white,
Are longing 10 hear from the absent one--
write them a letter tonight.
