The Rising of the Noon.

''The Rising of the Moon" is one of
the most popular Irish ballads. 1t is
a ballad Of the people, and never fails
to stir the hearts of the Irishmen. It's
author, John Keegan Casey, was one
of the few literary men produced by
the Fenian movement The Young
Ireland and Fenian movement offer a
striking contrast in this respect.
Whilst the former was rich in poets
and writer's of the first order, the lat
ter was almost barren. John Keegan
Casey was born near Mullingar in
1917. and was imprisoned as Il Fenian
i'll 1867. His sufferings broke down
his health, and he died in 1870. His
funeral at Glasnevin was attended by
$4,000 people. His poems were pub
lished by Cameron, Ferguson & Co.,
Glasgow.
"Oh, then tell me, Shawn OFarrall,
Tell me why you hurry sop
'Hush! ma bouchal, hush, and listenw
And his cheeks were all aglow.
Il bear orders from the Captain
Get you ready quick and soon;
For the pixies must be together
At the risin' of the moon.''
oh, then, tell me, Shawn O'Farrall,
Where the gatherin' is to be?"
I'm the ould spot by the river
Right we'll known to you and me;
One more wefd-for signal token
Whistle up the marchin' tune,
With your pike upon your shoulder,
By the risin' of the moon.
Out from many mud-wall cabin
Eyes We're watching thro' that
night;
Many manly chest was throbbing
For the blessed warming light.
Murmurs passed along the valleys,
Like the banshee's lonely Groom,
And thousand blades We're flashing
That dark mass of men We're seen-
Far above the shining weapons
There beside the singing river,
Hung their own beloved Green.
Death to every foe and traitor!
Forward! strike the marchin' tune,
And hurrah, my boys, for freedom!
Ills the risin' of the MOON"
Well they fought for poor Old Ireland,
And full bitter was their fate;
Oh! what glorious pride and sorrow
Fill the name of Ninty-eight!
Yet, thank God, cen still are beating
Hearts in manhoods burning noon,
Who would follow in their footsteps
At the risin' of the moon!

When others call you "dear'' and

And hold your hands and kiss your

Some day,
When you must feel loves heavy loss,
LOU will remember other years
When. l, too, bent beneath the cross,
And mix my memory with thy tears.
In such dark hours be not afraid;
Within their shadow l have prayed.
Some day,
Your daughters voice, or smile, or
eyes,
My face will suddenly recall;
Then you will smile in sweet surprise,
And your soul unto mine will call
In that dear unforgotten prayer,
Which we at evening used to share.
Some day,
\ flower, a song. a word may be
\ link between us strong and sweet;
All. then, dear child, remember me!
And let your heart to ''mother" beat
/ My love is with you everywhere
You cannot get beyond my prayer
Some day,
At longest it cannot he long,
shall with glad impatience wait
Amid the glory and the song.

March 3, and Mr.. Hemingway, having
been elected in the meantime, will

The postoflice department has or
dered that the sale Of the special issue
ef Louisiana Purchase Exposition
stamps be discontinued throughout
fho country in accordance with the
er1ginal plan. Beginning with the
Chicago World s Fair in 1893 the gov
eminent has issued four sets Of these
commemorative stamps in compliance
with the requests Of the expositions
held at Omaha, Buffalo and st. Louis.
1t Is probable, however, that the Gus
Rom has now come to an end. The
elaborate designs Of the special is
sues necessitates a stamp of twice
ehe ordinary size and this has given
rise to general complaint from bus
mess men throughout the country,
who find that the large stamps entail
considerable extra trouble in their use.
PGstmasters also complain of the
stamps because Of the large size of
Ahe sheets they are obliged to handle.
Eor these reasons it is likely that the
expositions Of the future will meet
with rebuff when they ask for spe-
elal issues of stamps to advertise their
shows
