FAMINE.
In the lower right corner is the black
famine Of AZ, the hellish work of an Eng
l:sll government in an effort to extermin-
ate a people 1t could not subdue. Nature,
while not bounteous in her productions, had
yielded enough to sustain the people who
with fam:shed eyes were obliged to see the
fruits OF their labor exported to an En-.
glish market to swell the purse of absent
landlords.

sword to Erin, and says: "Try this! In
arisen, her harp falling by her side, and,
with spirit of determination she extends
her hand to grasp the proffered sword.
The two shields are coined by the Amer
lean and Irish flags draped in graceful folds;
above them the American shield, and over
that .
9. GOD SAVE IRELAND"
Beneath the flags is banner having a
wreath of laurel, tied with a blood-stained
ribbon, within which are the names of the
Manchester Martyrs
ALLEN, LARKIN AND O'BRIEN.
The American shield is entw:ned with
red, white and blue, and shamrocks; the
Irish shield with the green and orange and
shamrocks.
The scenes are beautifully blended in
eleven shades and it is the best product of
the Forbes Lithograph Manufacturing Co.,
of Boston. The picture is printed on best
Autograph stock Goo lbs.), size 2SAx31A,
making grand effect for framing. =.
. NATIONAL INDEPENDENCE
4 Above Erin in the distance, advancing to
her aid, marches body Of men, swearing
by the sword, eternal fealty to their stand
ard, which bears the battle cry: IRE
LAND A NATION" Nothing short of
IRISH NATIONAL INDEPENDENCE
will sheath that sword. No provincial gov
eminent; no compromise with tyranny:
q nations redemption-or a soldiers
