While the Heart Beats Young.

While The heart beats young! Q, the splen-
dor Of the Spring,
with all her dewy Jewels on, is not so
fair a thing
The fairest, rarest morning Of the BIOS
som-ti1ne of May
Is not so sweet a season as the season
Of today.
While Youths diviner climate folds and
holds us close caressed,
AS we feel our mothers with us, by the
touch Of face and breast;
Our bare feet in the meadows and our
falncles up among
THE airy clouds Of niorning-while the
heart beats young.
While the heart beats young and our
p1&ises leap and dance,
With every day o holiday and life a glad
romance
We hear the birls with wonder and
with wonder watch their flight
Standing still the more enchanted, both
Of hearing and of sight,
When they have vanished-Wholly-for, in
fancy wing to wing,
We fly TO heaven with them; and, return
Ing, still we sing >,
The praises Of this lower heaven with
tireless voice and tongue,
Ev'n as the Master sanctions-while the
heart beats young!
While the heart beats young!
White the heart beats young!
O, green and gold old Earth of ours, with
azure overhung,
And loopeG with raiabows! grant us yet
this grassy lap of thine
We would be still thy childre1a, through
the shower and the shine!
SO pray We lisping, whispering, in child
Lsh love and trust,
With our beseaching hands and faces
lifted from the dust,
BY kervor Of the poem, all unwritten
and unsung,
T1ECu givest US in answer, while the

Each contingent of the procession, as 1t
came up, Was attacked, dispersed and de-
prived of it's co.ors. At the heighth Of the
conflict Rev. Father LADY, the parish priest
of Brunswick, assembled to the roof OF cab
and in an impassioned speech implored the
Catholics to follow him away from the
scene. A certain number accepted the
priests advice, but the great majority held
their ground, and only griped their black
thcrns the more tightly. The mayor Of
Brunswick also tried his powers as
peace maker, but was sood glad to be es-
corted from the scene by a couple OF police
men. The procession was entirely demoi
ished, and the victorious Nationalist held
the town for three. hours, stopping cabs,
trans and buses, and making things very
uncomfortable for everybody who had any
thing yellow about them. "On all Sides"
saya the Melbourne Argus report, cut heads
and bleeding faces were to be seen," but
there were no serions cases to be detained
in the hospitals. Several arrests were
made, but with great difficulty
A fight Of this sort is never without it's
comic side. At the head of one contingent
of the procession was vehicle, on which a
lady stood up and defantly waved an
orange scarf. A number OF Nationalists
were soon climbing on into the vehicle, and
one of them captured the scarf. But in
the rush of the crowd he was carried away
into another part OF the field, amongst
Nationalist who did not know how he had
obtained possession Of the scarf. The re-
suit was that he was promptly attacked
and belabored by his own side, who were
in no mood for explanations. and, VINO

Irish Nationalist and Orangemen Fight
1t Out in Australia.


After the lapse of half a century Orange
men and Irish Nationalist have once more
fought in the streets of Melbourne, says the
Boston Republic. In the early years of the
great Australian cities these encounters
were of regular annual occurrence, and were
only put stop to by the passing Of the
peace preservation act, which absolutely
prohibited any display of Orange emblems
in public or any procession Of a secret So
ciety. When this act became law--and
Robert Lowe lord Sherbrooke), then a
member of the first Australian Parliament,
was largely instrumental in achieving that
resu,t-the Orangemen formed themselves
into body called the Protestant Alliance
Friendly Society, and under this legal
cloak continued to celebrate the 18th Of
July, meeting in their halls, but complying
with the law in having no professions or
public display of emblenls. But during re-
cent years they have gradually become
more and more FESTIVE under these restric-
tions, and this year they determined to defy
the law.
They announced their intention to march
in procession on Sunday, July 49,, to a Wes-
leyan church in Brunswick, northern
suburb OF Melbourne, and to display their
coiors enroute. In the Melbourne dailies
of July IS appeared a counterblast in the
shape of an advertisement inviting all good
and true Irish Nationalist to assemble ala
the same tine on vacant piece OF ground
contiguous to the aforesaid Wesleyan
church to discuss the Irish question.
i In view of the possibilities Of such prox-
unity of combustable elements, it seems as
tonishing that the police authorities should
have considered a body of fifty men sufi-
Gent to cope with the situation likely to-
arise. At the advertised tine Is, 600 people
mostly Natonalists, armed with blackthorn
sticks. were gathered on the spot. When
the vanguard OF the procession appeafed, It,
was received with boots and gr0lns. fol-
lowed by hust,ing,, which soon DEVELOPED
into promiscuous fighting. The Orangemen

IL, at his mothers residence. Deceased
had been ailing for some months past.
Mr.. Abraham Mitchell, the well-known
owner Of "Tourmakeady, died very sud-
denly on August 18th. 1t appears that the
deceased gentleman was on visit to Mr..
Symington's, of Ballintubber, where he
had some horses. He raised his umbrella
to start some of the horses, when he fell
backward. Medical aid was summoned
at once, but 1t was found he was dead.
His remains were brought to Ballinrobe

KILDARE.

On September 2, in the Nisi Prius Court,
Dublin, before Mr.. Justice Ross, in the ap-
peal case of Sweeny against the Magistrates
of the County Kildare, DR.. Falconer, on
the part Of Joseph Sweeny, moved for
certiorary to quash a conviction OF SWeenT
by the magistrates at Donadea Petty Ses-
sions, on the grounds that the summons
which charged him with having assaulted
a woman named Rose Byrne, on the 18TH
of March, was never served upon him. and
that he was not in Ireland at the time the
conviction was pronounced. The date OF
the summons was the 18th of May. and, On
the 18th, the Justices, in default OF the
appearance OF the defendant, made an
order that he should be imprisoned for six
months, with hard labor. An affidavit OF
Sweeny stated that he had left Ireland for
America on the 29th of April, and arrived
at Philadelphia on the 10th of May. He
proceeded to New Jersey and obtained en-
ployment from farmer there. He}
back to Ireland in June, and on the 26th OF
that month he heard for the first time Of the
summons against him. He further said
that he had good defense to the charge.
An affidavit of the mother Of the defendant
stated that on the 18th OF May police
constable had served summons upon
her: and she then told him that her son
was in America. She attended at Donadea
Petty Sessions; but was not examined, and
there was no appearance for her son, be-
cause she had no money to employ counsel.
