MAUREEN OG ASTHORE.#

Catch the rosy blush of morn
And the shades of night newborn,
Take that tint from Meevagh's woods last
autumn-tide they wore
And you have the cheeks so rare,
And And The the maze Of dear dark hair,
And the misunderstanding brown eyes
of my Maureen Og Asthoiel
To our hills in winter go,
Where you'll find the purest snow,
And redder holly-berries than you've ever
seen before;
Then with Fancy's aid infuse
Into teeth and lips those hues-
And behold the pretty, coaxing mouth OF
Maureen Og Asthorel
From the rowan-tree so fair,
Fitch its 1.-THE and stately air,
And bestow on it a form divine, that an
gels might adore;
Then see the winsome face,
And the airy, swan-like grace,
And the figure so bewitching of my
Maureen Og ashore.
Get the evening stars mild beam,
As it trembles in the stream,
And the light and bounding noiseless
tread of lambkins on the moor;
Take the music from the brook
And behold the voice and look,
And the matchless, magic step of her, my
Maureen Og Ashore.
Find the streams love for the lake,
And the brier's for the brake,
And the love that makes the mountains
seek the fond skies bending DER
And you've thrown one little ray
On the love words can't convey,
That for evermore doth draw this heart
to Maureen Og Ashore.

ED1UND BURKE.

We have i'll Edmund Burke one of the
most brilliant examples of the genius
contributed by Ireland to the fame of the
British empire. The story of his won
derful influence in molding the destinies
of his country has been more than once
referred to in these columns. He was
in the prime of life-thirty-six years old
when he electrified the British Parlia-
ment on the occasion of his maiden
speech, on the 9th of January, l776, by
his mastery eloquence and the profound
knowledge of public affairs which he
displayed. The learned DIR. Johnson,
referring 10 the occasion, said that Burke
"filled the town with wonder"
1t was on the proposed repeal of the
Stamp act, which at that time was be-
ing discussed in Parliament and created
most intense excitement From that
time forth for thirty years his star never
waned, and he was recognized as the
greatest of England's statesmen in the
depth of his philosophy and wide famil-
iarty with all subjects which came up
for discussion. 1t is related of him that
returning from Parliament late one night
he was accosted by an unfortunate who,
when he replied to her with kind advice,
implored his assistance to rescue her
from life of shame and misery. care
you willing" said he, ito give up your
present life of sin3'
Being satisfied with the sincerity of
her answer, he took her into his home
and by his care and that of Mrs. Burke
she was restored to society. He devoted
considerable attention to the history and
antiquities of Ireland and the study of
the Irish language, and in 1867 was
granted the freedom of the city of Dub
lin for his services TO Ireland in Parlia-
ment. "He had" said the Encyclopaedia
Britannica, ga native adherence of cru
city, of injustice, of disorder, of oppres-
sion, of tyranny, and all these things in
all their degrees marked Hastings course
in India. They were, moreover, concen-
trated in individual cases, which exer-
cised Burke's passionate imagination to
its profoundest depths and raised It to
such glow Of fiery intensity as has
never been rivaled in our history"
For it endured for fourteen years, and
was just as burning and terrible when
Hastings was acquitted in 1895 as in the
Select Committee of 1881, when Hastings

Most Disastrous COnflagratiOn
Yet Witnessed i'm the
New Year.
The Whallen Brothers Will at
Once Commence It's
Reconstruction.
MANY THROWN OUT OF WORK.

The most disastrous conflagration of
the year occurred early Thursday morn
ing, when the Buckingham Theater was
entirely destroyed in less than All hours
time The fire was caused by an electric
wire, and the efforts of the fire depart
ment were all in vain. The loss will
reach an amount exceeding sec, 900, upon
which there is an insurance of only about
one-third that sum.
The theater has always been popular
one, and all day long streams of people
could be seen viewing the ruins, the
great majority of whom took occasion to
express their sympathy to Messrs John
and James Whallen. The theater-going
public will be glad to learn that they will
rebuild at once, and their enterprise
is guarantee that ere long the old
building will be replaced by more mod
ern and handsome one.
The work of reconstruction will begin
Immediately and continue night and day
until the new theater is ready for OPEN
ing, which will be in about thirty days.
The company that was performing lost a
great deal of property, as did many of
the musicians and employees, who will be
temporarily out of employment,
Citizens of all classes are encouraging
the Messrs. Whallen, who are two of the
most enterprising and public spirited
business men in Louisville, and all ex-
press the hope that they may soou re-
trive their great loss.

enormitics we're first revealed. IF
were to call for reward, !" wrote Burke,
''it would be for the services in which for
fourteen years, without intermission,
showed the most industry and had the
least success mean in the affairs of
myself the most; most for the import
ance most for the labor; most for the
Judgment; most for constancy and per-
severence in the pursuit"
Sheridan speech in the House of Com
mons upon the charge relative to the Be-
gums of Dude probably excelled anything
that Burke achieved, as a dazzling per-
Torrance Astounding in the most surpris-
ing literary and rhetorical effects. But
neither Sheridan nor Fox was capable
of that sustained and overlooking indig-
nation at outraged justice and oppressed
humanity, that consuming moral fire,
which burst forth again and again from
the chief manager of the impeachment,
with such scorching might as drove even
the cool and intrepid Hastings beyond all
self control and made him cry out with
protests and sxclamations like criminal
writhing under the scourge.
Burke, no doubt, in the course of that
unparalleled trial showed some preiu-
dice; made some minor overstatements
of his case; used many intemperances,
and suffered himself to be provoked into
expressions of heat and impotence by
the cabals of the defendant and his
party and the intolerable incompetence
of the tribunal. 1t is one of the inscrut-
able perplexitie3 of human affairs that in
the logic of practical life, in order to
reach conclusions that cover enough for
truth, we are constantly driven to prem
Uses that cover too much, and that in
order to secure their right weight to
justice and reason good men are forced
to fling the two-edged sword of passion
into the same scale.
But these excuses were mere trifes and
we'll deserve to be forgiven when we
think that though the offender was in
form acquitted, yet Burke succeeded in
these fourteen years of laborious effort
in laying the foundations once for all of
a moral, just, philanthropic and respon-
sible public opinion in England with ref
erence to India, and in doing so per-
formed perhaps the most magnificent
service that any statesman has ever had
it i'll his power to render to humanity.

MOLLIE AND |.
OAS0Aa6aNi
this time.

My Mollie twas she was the pride of our
town,
Her hair it was golden, her eyes a soft
brown,
To see her sweet smile, with her red lips
apart,
Sure 'twould set the rogue stealing right
into your heart.
Myself had the looks, too, and stood six
foot high
Yes, a couple worth seeing were Mollie
and l.
Ali we'll remember one bright summer
day,
When we thought there was never such
bloom OH the may;
And the birds sang so sweetly from ont
of the glen
They, sure, never sang half so sweetly as
then!
And that night no such stars ever shone
in the sky
So full of loves magic were Mollie
and I.
For I'd told her my love-well, you all
know the way,
Since when heart thrills to heart there
needs little to say.
And there she was walking close up to
my side,
With her hand clasped in mine, my own
promised bride.
No happier pair could be found far or
nigh,
That fair summer even, than Mollie
and /.
How the thoughts of old times they
throng into my head
With that day of all days when my
Mollie wed!
l wore a brave suit so smart and so
tight,
With Mollie beside me in soft, flowing
white.
l stepped proud as a king, but my love
she looked shy,
AS we passed to the chapel my Mollie
and I.
OH but l was the blest one to win such
a wife,
The light of my home and the JOY of my
life;
And to me twas the browning of all her
sweet charms,
When she held our first babe in her love-
ly white arms.
So full was my heart that | prayed God
on high
We might never be parted, my Mollie
and l.
Of fine lads and lassies we'd nigh half
score,
Not one, though, too many, yet askin'
no more;
And when with lifes care I'd get some
what cast down,
mad sttif her smile, am but never
one frown.
We'd our JOY and our sorrow. our laugh
and our cry,
For we shared all together, my Mollie
and 1.
Now they tell me she's sleeping, and still
must sleep on,
But the children are weeping--Oh. where
has she gone?
And is it without ME she's found her last
rest,
Who for fifty long years has lain in my
breast?
And what is this darkness? The lights

sake of brevity that so many good old
Irish names are being used without the
prefix "Mc" or 90" which formerly
formed part of the cognomen. We are
all true Americans, but there must also
be spark of love for our ancestral
country, though we have never seen its
shores, and it can not be want of re-
spect for their mother country which
causes such shortening, but must be
either for the sake of brevity or from a
mistaken idea of euphonism.

WILL VISIT THE JAIL.

Monday next will be County Commits
sioners' day at the Jail, when the monthly
inspection will be made. That institu-
ton will be found to be in better condi-
ton than ever before. Owing to the
many improvements made under the adj
ministration of Jailer PAanz, it is safe to
say there are few jails that will compare
with that of Jefferson county. Because
of the Blanks smallpox case all visitors
will be excluded for short time.

FATHER HORRIGAN.

From the Minneapolis Irish Standard
we learn that Rev. Father Horrigan, for
some years prior of the Dominican
church of this city. lately arrived in
Minneapolis from Memphis, Tenn, was
to preech at the late mass last Sunday at
Holy Rosary church, where he is the
newly-elected Prior. An elaborate pro-
gramme of music was rendered upon the
occasion

WEARING OF THE GREEN.

The vexed question of the wearing of
the shamrock by Irish soldiers ON St.
Patrick's day has been partially solved
by general order leaving the wearing
of national emblems at the discretion of
commanding officers. This is all very
well in Irish corps, but what about Irish
men in English and Scotch regiments,
royal artillery and other mixed corps?
Will they be prohibited from wearing it1
Even in Irish corps an English or Scotch
commandant may restrict at his "discre-
ton" or prejudice.

NEARLY LIVED IN THREE CENTURIES.

James Kelly, who died at Waterbury,
Conn, recently in his one hundred and
second year, was for over fifty years a
resident of that town. He had never
been i'll for any length of time. He
did not wear glasses to read, although
he closely followed Irish and American
politics until his death. For eighty-five
years he had not shaved. Cuban day,
January last, he stood hat in hand and
saw the flag hoisted at Pine Hill. He
was native of Queens County, Ireland,
and Catholic.

A movement is being made in Clonmel
to promote the Richard Bowling memo

fellow-townsmen of the distinguished
novelist should avail themselves of the
opportunity which the raising of the

his widow and family, who, through no
fault of his, have been left wholly un-
provided for. The latest subscriber to
fund is the Hon. Martin j. Keogh, Judge
of the Supreme Court Of New York.
