NEWS FROM IRELAND
The Rosary Of My Years.

The Rosary of My Years.
Some reckon their age by years,
Some reckon their life by art,
But some tell their days by the flow OF
their tears
And their life by the means OF their
heart.
The dials OF earth may show
The length. not the depth OF years;
Few or many they come, few or many
they go,
But our time is best measured by
All, not by the silver gray
That creeps through the sunny hair,
And not by the scenes that we pass on
Our way,
And not by the burrows OF the finger
OF care.
On the forehead and face have made,
Not so do we count our years
Not by the sun of the eartll but the
shade .-..
OF our souls and the iall OF Our tears
For the young are Outlines old,
y. Though their brow be bright and fair
While their blood beats warm theil
heart lies cold
Der them the springtime, but winter
is there
And the old are Outlines young
When their hair is thin and white,
And they sing i'll age as in youth they
sung,
And they laugh, for their cross wa:
light.
A thousand joys may foam
On the pillows OF all the years,
But never the foam brings the brave
bark home;
1t reaches the haven through tears.
Father Ryan.

Listen To Our Tale Of Woe.

A bunch OF islands in an ocean grew
Listen to our tale OF woe;
A bunch Of islands of yellow hue;
Owned by Spain and overdue
They grew,
IT'S true
Listen to Our tale OF woe.
AS Dewey was sailing the ocean
through
Listen to our tale Of woe;
He spied those islands of yellow hue;
For Uncle Samuel he grabbed few,
The few
In view
Listen to our tale of woe.
Now Uncle Samuel to the game was
new
Listen to our tale OF woe:
He bit off the bunch and swallowed the
chew
And then the trouble began to brew
Too true!
Boo hoo!
Listen to our tale of woe.
IT'S trouble you doctors can't sub
due
Listen to Our tale OF woe;
So, uncle, let us prescribe for you;
lake an emetic and you'll pull
through
That's true!
So do!
Listen to our tale OF woe.

My Mothers Song at Twilight.

How pleasant was the twilight hour
In the days OF long ago,
When listened to my mother
AS she sang so sweet and low.
Oh, | never yet heard music
That was half SO sweet to me
As my mothers soft, low singing
In the twilight.
At the closing of the day,
When the sun had sunk to rest,
Then I sat upon her knee Z.
With my head upon her breast,
All my childish woes forgotten,
AS listened to her voice
Singing tenderly and sweetly
. In the twilight.
Oh, I never had grief
That her music could not ease,
And l never had pleasure
That her song would not increase
The sweet reward of effort,
And the crown of every joy,
Was to hear my mother singing
In the twilight.
They were only simple strains
She had learned when she was young
With a stanza, now and then,
In the dear old mother tongue;
But all angels voice, fancy,
Would sound less sweet to me,
Than my mothers when she sang to me
At twilight.
Sometimes when sit dreaming
By my freside, all alone,
And memory brings back to me
The days forever flown;
seem to be child again
Upon my mothers knee,
And hear her singing softly
In the twilight
I've known full many a sorrow
Since those happy days OF old,
. And many cup of bitter woe
The future yet may hold.
But I'd give long years Of happiness
To hear but once again
My mother softly singing
In the twilight.
When LIES busy day is closing,
And the evening shadows fall,
When my labors all are done,
And I wait the Masters call,
hope that once again.
As in happy days gone by,
shall hear my mother singing
In the twilight.

EYEGLASSES AND WHY.
The IncreaSs IN the Number Worn
Not nm Evidence of DeEenern-
item 81 the Eyes.

The question is often asked. particu-
larly by those who can recall the Gus.
toms and experiences of rs years ago:
why do so many persons nowadays
wear gIasses?'' The answer is easy:
"The increase in the number Of spec
tacIos worn is not to be regarded as an
evidence of modern degeneration of the
eyes. but rather that a long-felt ne
cessity has been met" For 1t should
be remembered that within the past
quarter of a century much has been
learned about the value of glasses, and
the range of their application and use
fulness has been enormously extended.
OF course, the eyes need more help now
than formerly, as the amount of work
they are required TO do is much greater
than at any previous period in the
worlds history. The sewing machine
and many other inventions of its class

A bit OF steel little more than two
feet in length has been the attraction
for some time for the patrons of fash
ionable tailoring establishment, which
does a large business with officers OF
the army and navy, writes a Washing
ton correspondent of the Pittsburgh
Dispatch. Though very plain and in
significant in itself, it is fascinating
and important as having for long been
the companion of the most notable and
popular hero of the late war with Spain.
Admiral Dewey, having been for many
years a patron OF this establishment,
left his sword there to have its handle
gilded. and the tailors were allowed to
please their patrons by exhibiting it to
them. Many are the offers that have
been made for its purchase. In the

weaken or possibly destroy the sight
unless the required aid and protection
be supplied through every means at our
