The expected meteoric "show" has not
materialized to an extent at all common
surate with the predictions of the astrono-
mers and experts. A few meteors have been
seen, but not more than can be seen dur
ing few hours watching in clear night
of any November. Meteors are very cratic
bodies, more so than comets, and the fail
of the display to put in an appear
ance will lead many persons to suspect
that the astronomical predictions regard
ing them were largely fanciful. Astronomy
Is an exact science only when it deals with
exact data.

The Old Exile.

A youth to manhood growing
With dark brown curls flowing,
Der brow and temples glowing,
came across the sea;
And now my head is l1oary,
But land of song and story
Green Isle OF ancient glory
My heart is still with thee.
Thy hopes till chung around me,
Thy bonds forever bound me,
And on all occasions found me,
Within the midst OF those,
Whose love was ever paid thee,
Who met 10 cheer and aid thee,
And at distance made thee
A terror to thy foes.
Long through this sad sojourning,
My heart and brain were burning,
With hopes Of yet returning
To Erin, glad and free,
My hopes were unavailing,
feel my strength is failing;
And still that bitter wailing
Is drifting DER the sea.
But I have yet, thank heaven, 81.
Four gallant sons of seven
My Irish wife has given,
To soothe my life's decline;
-Four youths OF noble bearing,
OF spirits high and daring,
Whose hearts are ever sharing
Those cherished dreams OF mine.
And should my dear land ever
Renew the old endeavor
Her cruel bonds to sever,
Though 1 can strive no more,
-Four soldiers brave I'll send her
To aid her and defend her;
And thus still can render
Allegiance as OF yore.
have one gentle daughter
How iondly l have taught her
Oh Erin DER the water
An island green and fair;
And marked her bright eyes shining,
AS, on my knees reclining,
kissed her, while cntwining
Fresh sllamrocks in her hair.
Her mothers songs she sings me,
Sweet thoughts OF home she brings me
The secret pang that wrngs me
Her breast can never know,
But Irish love, SO purely,
Runs through, rest securely
Thereon, and say that, surely
Twill never nurse a Toe.
But life is fading slowly
My friends must lay me lowly,-
Far from the abbey holy,
loved through all the past.
The world grows dim before me
A broad wing closes DER me;
But, Erin, dear, that bore me
love thee to the last!

And he bolted with a lot O things be-

He carried to the other camp, and

He didn't care Tor fighting, and so his
blooming hook he sings,
And visited old Kruger 'crost the

1t is true that he deserted, asking no
permission to,
For he knew he wouldn't get it if he
did;
And he'd been working overtime, drag
ging ammunition thro'
Which is probably the reason why he
slid.
With his drivers he was friendly, though
they beat him off and on,
He's an abscnt-minded beggar-
they'd remind him
That mule was made for working

He didn't fancy staying, and so his
blooming hook he sings
He's visiting old Kruger 'crost the
way way! way!
Let us manage to forget him. all his
family and race,
For we know he's but a gawd-for-
saken tool
He's no use to the Empire-in war he's
out OF place
And mule at best is but blooming
mule.
He's an absent-minded beggar and he
