Tho reading public have two sacerdotal
meets of good repute-Father Ryan ana
rather Tabb-and here is another, Fathe'
Brennan, entitled to be ADDED 10 1iieii'
He has a goodly measure or poeuc az,
eotus and handles versilcation with SIKH
- upction. His poems are divided into
tbree classes-of the sentiments, or pa
,r,otism. and Of religion. The religious
ones conclude with five visions OF st.
paul taken from the antphons arranged
nv the Catholic Church for the feast OF
that saint The authors devotion TO his
church.and to "the Emerald Isle Is con-
splcuous and touching, and what ne re-
garded az loyalty is shown by his earnest
deliverances at celebrations OF the Grand
Army of the Republic. These contain,
however. n few sops for the South. His
almost excessive love Of Ireland blazes
forth in his defence of "the Irish tongue"
Here is one Of his shorter poems or
the sentiments"
LOVES VINTAGE.
Twas q pressing,
Sacred vintage rare!
Nerc'less trod mans feet the wine-press;
Only woman's heart was there.
10, first pressing,
Nectar rich, divine.
First loves cradle-hopes-wil bleedings.
Drink It! Loves maddening wine.
I Second pressing!
still mans feet do grind.
Paler drip the crushed hearts doubtings;
Love may not loves saungs ind.
Lol last pressing.
None but gods drink here.
Crush the lifeless heart; II beast not!
Loves best vintage is tear.
Father Brennan is also something OF
scientist. and sometimes delivers public
lectures on some of the grand natural
phenomena.

Arranged by Edmund Redmond. Ro-

This catchpenny yellow kiver' con-
tains some fun and humor, and some
amusing hits at men and women. one
of its ieux d'esprit is accredited 10 the
Dispatch. It deals in parody, and Mary
and her little lamb "catch it, repeated

bride on a tandem. which defies pursuit.
Gallileo comes down 10 see how the
world do now move In the revolutionary
period produced by the wheel.
Besides the dubious Latin OF tho title,

of the production IS. that whilst II mas
