Mr.. Thomas Gallagher, whose name
has been mentioned as the probable
purchaser of Killarney, is we'll known
throughout Great Britain and Ireland as
the proprietor OF the famous Irish
Roll'' tobacco mandatory, in Belfast,
though it is now long since the concern
passed from his individual proprietor
ship into limited company, of which
however, the reins still remain in his
grasp. The Belfast factory of "Galla-
CHER, Limited" stands on four acres OF
ground, and there are, besides, ware
houses in London, Liverpool, and Dub
lin. Mr.. Gallagher, who is now 50
years of age, is hard-headed, cool and
unfinching man, in a purpose once
taken; but, under this apparent unas-
sailable exterior is concealed warm
and kindly nature. He is native of
Donegal.

NEWS FROM IRELAND
AT Dead o. The Night, Alanna.


At dead o the Night, Alanna.
At dead O the night, alanna, I wake and
see you there,
Your little head on the pillow, with
tossed and tangled hair;
! am your mother, acushla, and you are
my hearts own boy,
And wealth O the world I'd barter to
shield you from annoy.
AT dead O the night, alanna, the heart
O. the world is. still,
But sobbing O fairy music comes down
the haunted hill.
The march O the fairy armies troubles
the peace O the air;
Blest angels shelter my darling for
power of mothers prayer.
At dead O the night, alanna, the sleep
less banshee means,
Wailing for sin and sorrow, by the
cairns crumbling stones,
At dead O. the night, alanna, ask OF
orr God above
To shield you from sin and sorrow. and
cherish you in his love.
At dead O. the night, alanna, I wonder
DER and DER,
Shall you part from Our holy Ireland, to
die on stranger shore?
You'll break my heart in the leaving
like many mother know
Just God, look down upon Erin and lift
her at last from woe!
At dead O. the night, alanna, see you in
future years,
Grand in your strength, and noble, fac
ing the wide world fears;
Though down in the messy churchyard
my bones be under the soc,
My spirit shall watch you, darling, till
you come to your rest in God. .

His Charming Sister

have the sweetest sister ever bloomed
- in beauty's garden,
A winsome little angel full OF inno-
cence and grace;
Ifyou could see the charming girl you d
grant me smiling pardon
For saying she would knock most any
!. male heart off its base!
There's ripping music in her laugh, i.
=. seems inspired OF heaven;
Her smile would melt the coat OF ice
from woman-hater's heart;
Though but my sister, by her charms my
heart is sadly rivell-
Is pierced from suburbs clear to core
by Cupid's singing dart!
Her pretty face an angel from the upper
realms would covet,
A smiling face set in frame of semi
golden hair;
All! that sweet, winsome frontispiece! to
see it is to love it!
No man susceptible OF heart could
'scape its waiting snare!
Her teeth of porcelairish tint set in
their rosy portal
Seem far too pure to chop at such
vulgar thing as hash!
I'll bet my birthright 'gainst dime no
other female mortal
Such lovely teeth OF natural growth
upon the ewes can flash!
Her hands are beautiful in shape, and
very we'll she knows it;
Her feet-well, them l never saw, but
dainty are her boots;
Her nose is OF the Grecian build, and
when the darling blows it
But in this rambling, off-hand verse l
scarce can give an inkling
OF all the charms possessed by that
sweet sister dear of mine.
The melody is sweeter than an orchcs-
ira of futes
Her gentle voice falls on the ear like
golden lovebells tinkling,
1t holds me in waking trance that
seems almost divine!
You're do doubt wondering just why
the bloomin' deuce fellow
Should group the leakings of his brain
in poetic maze,
Should chew the rag OF poesy and mu-
sically below
Such hifalutin' language to exploit a
sisters praise.
The thing is new to me, you know, and
hence it is shovel
Such tuneiul fuel on the fire to keep
her charms alight;
1t is new experience most devilishly
novel
She's only been my sister since pop
ped to her last night! Anon
