BEAUTIES OF OLD IRELAND
II Yon Live Tonight Hear DIR. Berry on the
Emerald Isle.

Emerald Isle.
Rev. Joseph F. Berry, D. D., editor Of
the Epworth Herald, and one Of the
most pleasing and eloquent takers in
this country, will lecture this evening
at the First Methodist church. His sub
ject will be "a Tramp Through Ire
land" The fame of the eloquent divine
coupled with the subject of his lecture
ought to draw an immense audience 10
hear him. A lecture on Ireland when
delivered by such a man as DR.. Berry
is intensely interesting and delightfully."-
facinating from beginning to end.
Everybody likes to hear about the tour
of Moses from Egypt homeward, the
rise and fall of the Roman empire, the
statues of Greece and the monuments
of Egypt; they like to hear Of the Gus
toms and literature and romanceS or
their people, but DR.. Berry will make
all his hearers sorry that they are not
Irishmen and Irish women before he
gets through with his lecture tonight.
He will inspire the young man to search
the genealogical tree, every limb and
branch, in an effort to find an Irish
ancestor and he will Undue the young
ladies with an unconquerable desire TO
hunt up some handsome young Irish
man for a husband. Just wait and see
him sail into the Cove Of Cork at the
opening of his lecture tonight. Watch
him paint in words of mellow eloquence
the gliding beauty Of the river Lee as
it merrily sings its way down to the
ocean; watch him spread emerald green
everywhere over your imagination;
watch him as he reaches the heavens
with a sweep of his hand and paint the
ethereal dome as blue as blue can be
and then stud it with the brightest
stars that ever shone and twinkled and
eheered the Irish laddybuck, as he
whistled his lonely way home from the
cottage of his fair faced, rosy checked
buxom blue-eyed colleen bawn. Just
hold your breath and let your heart
beat while the doctor is doing all this
and you will feel better for several
days. Don't say word when the doc
tor invites you out in Jaunting car TO
see Barney castle wrapped in its man
tie Of ivy. Kiss that famous stone with
him and then you will find out why he
is eloquent When you are through
with the castle just get into the car
and drive with him over the wild noun
tain roads beneath the snow capped
shadows OF McGillicudys ricks. See
the yellow blossom on the furZ, the
the lambs gamboling in the neighboring
valleys. Hear the linnet, the black
bird. the thrush and lark, in quartette,
singing their joyful notes in the ruins
and over the ruins of a nation as old as
Rome. Turn not your eyes away when
he shows you a girl with heart full
of virtue balancing a pail OF water on a
head full Of love. To be sure her feet
are bare but they are as white and
clean and shapely as If they were CHS
led out Of block OF marble. Revel
with him in the delights of Killarney
with its old ruins, and echoes that never
die. Drive with him down through the
emerald plains OF Limerick with its
white washed cottages and its crazy
quilt fields where the posies ever grow.
Gaze on the old castles TO your right !
and your left not more than a mile
apart and let your mind dwell on the |
grace ard chivalry that once haunted |
them. Then go with him over through !
