The Beauty Of ireland

A correspondent of the New York
Sun writes of Ireland and it's beauty
as follows:
Indeed, know Of no country that
it would pay our Americans to be-
come acquainted with better than Ire
land. The great stretch OF arabic land
known as the Golden Vale, being in
the counties Kerry, Cork, Limerick
and Glare, is never very cold in win
ter nor very hot in summer. The turf
is green in December and June; it is
very rare to see black frost in that
part of the country. During the win
ter months a light hoar frost gives a
beautiful simmer to grass and hedge
that soon vanishes under mild and
moist atmosphere. And the summer!
I lack words to describe the beauty
Of an Irish summer twilight. The yell
low aura Of the atmosphere, the hum
Of insects, the call of corncrackes,
the scent arising from the hedge-rows,
and the great high wheat in the fields
are things never to be forgotten, and
are worth a pilgrimage to see and en-.
joy. Indeed, the difference between
Irish farms and American farms is
very great. In Ireland you see NO
ragged fields. A field of clover is all
clover, every bit of it. Likewise wheat
or any other growth. They are full
grown; there are no bad spots. How
different it is here any observing way
farer can see. I sincerely wish that
Ireland and the Irish were better
known to the American people. It
would be we'll for all of them. I know
of no place equal to the Golden Vale
for the invalid suffering from wasting
diseases or that large class Of urban
people who are overweight, and I
firmly believe it will eventually COM
pei attention. 1t has all the climatic
conditions that are outlined in your
editorial Of today upon the best eli
mate for consumptives. Above all,
when you go to Ireland, drink of its
milk, eat of it's potatoes, treat your
self to its matchless honey, and be
glad you have lived to see the Green
Isle"

WICKLOW.
On the evening of Aug. "a, a dis
patch reached Dunlavin, from Donard
where sports were being held in aid of
new Catholic church, stating that
Patsy German had been killed by fall
ing off his bicycle in fve-mile race.
The race was run on the public road,
and had to pass through the town of
Donard and back again to where it
was started from. Immediately after
starting the competitors had to go
down very steep hill, entering the
town, and here, it appears, German
lost his pedals, and in trying to regain
them he swerved across a deep rut in
the road, with the result that he was
flung on his head with great force, and
the base of the skull was broken. He
was carried into an adjoining lawn,
and Father Kavanagh, @. G., who was
a few hundred yards away, at once
administered the last rites Of the
church to the poor fellow, who died in
fifteen minutes after. The deceased,
who was only ~ years of age, was one
of the most popular and best known
young fellows in Wicklow and Kill.

FROM IRELAND

The Gossip,
Out on her neighbours shady porch
The village gossip sits.
Talking about her sister-iu-law
And giving her cousin fits.
And there's not woman in town who
fails
To catch it ere she quits.
Once she was young and rosy checked
And trim, and sweet, and shy,
And people didn't shun her then,
Or ever wonder why
She always saw the wicked, while
The good escaped her eye.
But that was long ago, before
The wrinkles lined her brow;
Men aocked around her then, but SHE
Has no admirers now,
And, having feelings, she must find
A vent for them somehow.
I EouS y ASd4u q IAuAy nW4uA SAAA6
Concerning Mildreds beau,
And when she's through with Georges
wife,
The latter's pretty low.
The children coming home from school
She hurries out to meet
And questions them, and, being full,
Goes rushing down the street
With many a morsel on her tongue,
That she considers sweet.
She goes on Sunday, to the church
To spy ON others there,
And seldom fails to get upon
The track Of some affair
That she can magnify somewhat
And then proceed to air.
Yet women sit and listen to
The things she says and know
Just what she is, but, whispering, pass
Her ISLANDERS to and fro,
And ever as they 60 the rounds,
They grow and grow and grow.
