Cumhal Macart, q champion OF Erin,
had secretly married the kings daughter.
As he was going out to battle the next day
he told his mother all about il, and as
there was a prophecy that the king was to
lose his kingdom by the son of his W
daughter he asked her should the king
seek to destroy the child TO hide and rear
him. Cumhal's mother did as she was
bid, rearing the child in a hollow tree. Al
the q Of five his grandmother tool him
out Of the tree and began to teach him to

When Fin Travelled he was always ac-

the power of speech and was wise in coun-
sci. One day they came to where an army
OF workmen were building q dun or castle

they were all In Jail waiting for the heads

s'Why don't you chew your thumb 90
asked Bran.
Fin tasted the marrow OF his thumb and
learned that there was an old hag nj the
other end Of the world with three sons,
tho youngest OF whom she sent every
night to burn the dun. Fin resolved 70
win the kings daughter and succeeded by
the aid Of Bran and his edible thumb in
killing. the old bag and her three sons
when they came In succession to burn the
dun. Having won the kings daughter,
Fin traded her of to her father for the
| champions who were in the dungeons.
Thus these became the first Fenians
in Erin.

funds to make his final payment on the

WORK AND SONG.


I'm a close little kitchen she worked all day,
While the birds sang shrill on the budding
trees,
And the bright earth called her TO come away
And follow the track OF the laughing breeze.
She could not answer the bright earth's calls.
With lowly duties her days were filed
And her life was bounded by kitchen walls
Yet she sang with a JOY that would not be
stilled.
Through Mays fresh splendors and tender
June,
Through fierce July with its cruel heat
She worked on still, while the simple tune
Weled up from her heart unchanged and
sweet
a man passed by to his daily toll,
And sick OF his work and his life was he,
With eyes bent down to the cherries soil
AS though there was never q sky to see.
He heard the notes with vacant ear
What did he care for a servants songf
Yet day by day rose the cadence clear
Till he caught its JOY as he passed along.
And his heart grew lighter about his work,
And he gained fresh strength for tho daily
fght
And softened smile in his ayes would Turk
When he heard her song coming home at
Night.
And was that allf o Sister mine
Is 1t not enough IL we help one soulf
Must the help be measured by rule and liner
Need we fret that We can not know the
whole?
The kitchen lass may have never known
OF the help that came from her daily song,
But the joy OF singing is still her own
And she works TO music the whole day long.

AGRTCULTURAL PRODUCTS.

Average Prices for the Month of
December - Corn Higher Than for
Ten Years-Declfne In the Price of
Hay.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. 10.-The de-
Der gives the average prices of agricultu-
raj products. The present corn crop is
worth more than the last, and farmers will
receive more for it. The average price is
SOL cents per bushel against 1913 cents for
the crop of 1889, an increase of n per cent.
1t is the highest December price of the
decade except that of 1881.
The average farm value of the wheat
crop as estimated is 81 cents per bushel, as
against 69.S for 1889, an increase of 90 per
cent. on the price of last year. The value
of wheat is affected by the harvests of
other countries, as corn is not, perceptibly,
and therefore prices are not entirely gov
erned by the size of the home grown crop.
The price of oats has responded sharply
to the pressure of a small crop and in
creased demand because of a short corn
crop. The average is 42.2 cents, against
90 cents last year. 1t rs the highest re-
ported since 1881. Rye, like oats, at 62.9
cents, is higher than since 1881, and tho
same is true of barley at 64.S cents.
Buckwheat at or cents marks an
advance over last year, but is lower
than in 1888. The deficiency in the
potato crop has caused an advance
in values in all sections of the country.
The average is ~ cents, an increase of
more than 80 per cent. over the prices of
the past two years. The returns show
slightly higher prices for tobacco than
have prevailed since 1887. The average is
reported at ~ cents per pound. Hay,
alone of all farm products, records q de-
cline from last year. The present price is
S7.74 per ton and the slight falling off is
due to increased product.
