A Day i'm Ireland.

-Four sharp scythes sweeping-in concert
keeping
The rich-robed meadows broad bosom
Ger
Four strong men moving, with bright
health glowing
A long green swath spreads each man
before;
With sinews springing-ny keen blade
swinging
strode--the fourth man in that blithe
band,
AS stalk Of corn that summer morn,
The scythe felt light in my stalwart
hand.
O! King of Glory!-Eow changed my
Since in youths noontide-long long
ago,
moved that meadow--no cloudy shadow
Between my brow and the hot suns
glow:
Fair girls raking the hay making
The fields resound with their laughter
free
Their voices ringing-than cuckoo's sing
Made sweeter music by far for me.
Bees lowered over the honied clover,
Then westward HES upon wings Of
light,
No use in trying to trace them flying
-, One brief low hum and they're out of
sight,
On downy thistle bright insects nestle,
Or f1utter skyward on painted wings,
At times alighting on flowers inviting
Twas pleasant watching the airy things.
From hazel bushes came songs Of
thrushes
And backbirds--sweeter than harper's
lay.
While high in ether-with sun-tipped
feather
The skylark warbled his anthem gay.
With threats diStenGed. sweet linnets
blended
A thousand notes in one glorious chime,
= Oh, King Eternal twas life supernal
In beauteous Erin, that pleasant time.

KINGS COUNTY

On August ed, an inquest was held at
Tinnamuck, near Clara, by Mr.. William
Arnott Gow:ng, Coroner for Tullamore
Division, on the body of a boy named Joan
Lowry, aged years, who had died under
rather unexpected circumstances. Daniel
Lowry, father of the deceased, said mis- son
complained of pain in the knee, and
stated that he slipped on flag in the
stable. Witness took the boy to a bone
setter named Costelloe, near Moate, who
said the cap of the knee was dislocated, and
set it. The child began to rave next day,
and continued in great pain until his death.
The Coroner said be regretted he had not
further evidence regarding the entire oc-
currence. AS the constabulary might OBJ
tain further information, he asked the
Jury to return verdict in accordance with
the evidence, which would enable the
Grown to pursue further investigations.
The jury found that the. deceased came
by his death from cerebro-spinal men:n-
gifts, which might have arisen from nat
ural causes, or be the result of an injury.

KERRY.

The sea fisheries in the Kerry district
were practically Suspended for the last
week of August, owing to the adverse
weather and a heavy sea. Previous to the
break in the weather matters were going
Oh very satisfactorily, and the herring and
mackerel' fisheries were especially yield
ing we'll at all the principal fishing sta
tons. At Waterville the weather was very
unfavorable and but little angling could
be done In fact the weather was more
suggestive of November than August and
the agriculturalist's later harvest was in
many instances in rather sorry condi-
ton from the nearly continuous rain.

announcement Of the death OF MIR. Ryan,
proprietor of the Medical Hall, Castelar,,
county Mayo, which occurred recently at
his native place, Killinagarriff, county
Limerick. The deceased was an honored
member OF his profession. AS a chemist,
druggist and apothecary, few could rival
him in skill, care and experience, and ne
was richly endowed with kind and gentle
disposition Every mark of respect for his
memory was manifested, and the greatest
sympathy was shown to Mrs. Ryan in her
heavy affection, by relatives ana friends
The funeral was large and respectable.
Sir Bryan O'Loghlen has been chosen by
the Irishmen of the Colony of Victoria to
represent them at the national convention
that assembled n Dublin, on September l..
He is Clare man and younger brother OF
the late Sir Colman, who was one of the
nationalist members for Clare. Sir Eryan
furnishes. perhaps, the only instance on
record of a man being simultaneously a
member of both the Imperial Parliament
and a. Colonial Parliament. He succeeded
to the Baronetcy n 1877, on the death OF
his elder brother, Sir Colman.

who. was ordained in 1866, was for several
years on the mission, as curate in Cooks
town, Carlingford, Lower Kilieavy, for a
short time in Tallanstown, and in Clog
herhead. He subsequently served on the
mission in London and in the United States,
and was for eight years professor OF moral
theology, at Mount St. Mary's, Emmlts-
burgh, Md. Some years ago he became a
member of the Cistercian Order. A few
months ago he returned home in bad health
from the effects of tague, contracted in Ar
kansas in the hope that his native air
would resore his health and vigor. How
ever, God wi!led it otherwise, and fortified
and consoled by the rites of the Church,
his spirit passed away OF the above date.
On the 25th, there was a Requiem Omce
and High Mass for the repose OF his soul,

These three costumes may be quoted
as examples of the very fine little house
dresses that are worn for afternoon &C.
casions. They are not expensive but
very dainty; and not half as pretty to
read about as to behold.

visiting Paris wish TO be taken to Nine.
