The DYING Girl.

She is dying-naught can save her;
Wealth can't tura death from her door;
i .SiM~fIas yaffered long in patience;
, S con her trouble will be DER.
At her bedside, kneel her parents.
Each with gray head bending low,
Praying for her soul departing .
From this world Of sin and woe.
In her hands, so worn and wasted,
She grasps firmly the candle bright;
While her eyes so fixed and sunken,
Shine with a celestial light.
All around her hover angels,
Guarding her still as they wait
For the happy hour to bear her
Upward thro' the heavenly gate.
From her heart she utters wistful
TO great Mary this last cry ss.'
That within her arms maternal
She may have the Joy to die. =:
Up above. her crown is waiting,
Clustering In the heavenly light:
And the angels bear her upward.
To her home, so pure and bright.

StAltf A4 HI
Prof Pye recently delivered an inter-
esting lecture on university life before
the Students Debating Society Of the
Queens College, Galway. In the course
of it he made the following observations:
1--WE are living in the midst of a Celtic
people, the depositaries of traditions
more faithfully transmitted by oral rec
ord than the work of ambitious his
torians-a people endowed in full meas
ure with the glorious imagination and
poetry Of their race, speaking as living
tongue the language which scholars in
Paris and Berlin are labriously studying
and yet we ignore it all. Scholars come,
as you have known them to come, to
study the Celtic language and legends,
In their last stronghold in Europe; but
we have no help to give them in this col
lege. We can only tell them that we
have suppressed our Celtic chair. In
sight Of 'Arran, the holy'---on the shores
where Brendan voyaged, we are placed
land we have suppressed the one slen-
derby foundation which of all others
would have been strength to us"

In Queenstown, on the night Of Nov.
20, a dreadful occurrence took place, by
which a domestic servant named Ellen
Twomey was burned to death. The de-

years, had been for considerable time
out of employment, and was living in a
small room in a tenement house situated
at Harbor View; and it appears that on
the night mentioned she stretched her
self on the bed with her clothes on, leav-
ing candle lighted in close proximity,
with the result that the bedclothes be-
came ignited, and the death of the I'M
fortunate woman quickly followed.
Nearly all the articles of furniture in the
room were more or less destroyed, and
portions of the flooring were burned
away. .. ...

At the meeting Of the Limerick Cor

mously reelected for next year. No
other candidate was proposed Mr..
James O'Meara, II. c., Nationalist, pro-

sheriff, Parnellite, seconded Mr.. Cusack.
For the shrievalty, Messrs Stephen B.

Ambrose Hail, Jr., have been nominated.
It is interesting to note that this cleo
ton of mayor of Limerick was the Tooth
in the annals of the old City of the
Violated Treaty. Adam Saruent was
the first mayor of Limerick, and was
elected in 1897, only twenty years after
the invasion of Henry II. The charter
of Limerick is older than that of the city
of London by several years, and the
mayor takes rank accordingly.
On Dec. T., Mr.. John Kivlehan, mer-
chant, Clare street, Limerick, was re-

for the past fourteen years, but who was
disqualified on legal point at the re-
cent municipal revision court. Mr.. Xiv
lehan was formerly member of the cor:
poration, and. his election gives the Ma
tionalists substantial majority in the
