The Bell.

(From the French Of Ange Pitou.}
The bell in solemn language,
With deep, pathetic tone,
Proclaims to all the village,
Another life is gone.
And many pause and ponder,
Think Of the soul that's fled,
And of their own departed,
Loved ones among the dead.
Of her, the gentle maiden.
So joyous. pure and free.
Whose lovliness lies buried,
Beneath the graveyard tree.
Of him. the youth. brave, manly,
Soul full of hope and trust,
To wage and win life's battles,
Now mould'rin in the dust.
Some Of the. aged and careworn,
O'erburdened with the years,
Who weary fell a-sleeping,
Half-smiling tlro' their tears.
The mother Of her infant,
" The father of her son.,
Oh, every heart is yearning.
For some dear life that's done! !,
Ring out, sad bell, your message.
The dirge OF misery, Z
&c ready for the summons
TO toll a. knell Ger me.

And sure disnlay he brings away
The elf II didn't think a.
He seems so sorry when he's caught,
His ynein is all eontrite,
He so regrets the woe he's wrought. A.
And wants to make things right.

And one can be SO stern with him,

But lack-a-day, what can we say H.,

This most unpleasant imp of strife a'

There's scarcely whole day Of life
He does not cause us care;
Small woes and great he brings the world,
Strong ships are forced to sink,
And trains from iron tracks are hurled

When brain is conrade to the heart.

For lack Of resting place.

An ex-national school teacher named
Patrick Tobin died at Whitegate, near
Middleton, during the third week OF
January, at he remarkable age of TIC
years. The deceased, who was born at
New Ross, went to Middleton about sixty
years ago, since which time he became
great favorite with the people of the
district. About thirty-fve years ago he
retired from the profession of teaching,
after an unusually long and honorable
service, and since had spent the most
part of his time at Whitegate, living on
pension from the education board. He
had three uncles in the rebellion of 1898,
about which he was often delighted to
converse with his many old eX-pupils,
numbers of whom are still living, almost
as gray-headed as himself. Deceased re-
tanned his mental and physical power to
the last, and up to New Years took his
daily walking exercise, extending over
miles, besides which he was able to read
the daily newspapers without glasses.
At the last Middleton. Petty sessions,
two men, named Edmond Wallace and
Jerritt Wilson, were prosecuted by Mr..
j. r.. Brennan, OH behalf Of the Cork
fishery conservatOrs. for illegally fishing

near Middleton, on the night of the Goth
ult. 1t appeared from the evidence Of
Ccnstables Connolly and Casey that the
two defendants were seen by them, u.s.
ing gaffs, on the banks Of: the river on
the night in question, and as they ap-
preached the scene one Of them decamped
with his gait into an adjoining planta-
ticn, A salmon was found on the bank,
and Wallace, who remained behind, ad-
United that he was fishing with the gait
which the cOnstables found on him. Mr..
j.. Dunlea, solicitor, Middleton, contended
that the evidence as to Identification was
not sufficiently conclusive. The bench,
however. convicted, and fined both de-
PENDANTS "a each, or one months i'm

At Middleton Petty sessions, Very Rev.
Canon Hutch, P. p, brought under the
notice of the bench the circumstances
of two destitute families whose bread
winners, John Mcguire and James Olden,
were recently drowned while fishing near
Rathcoursey. He formally applied that
three children, belonging to John Ma
guire, deceased be admitted to st. Col

as to the restitution of the children, the
bench made the order, In compliance with
Canon Hutch's application.
