Wen Cling to Ireland Still.

If Irelands shores were black with
slaves
Who kissed the royal rod,
And bowed before those sceptred
knaves
Who "rule by right of God;;"
If England's flag, mid cheers unrolled,
Spoke triumph from each hill,
We'd ne'er forswear the cause of
We'd cling to Ireland still.
If deserts spanned the Irish isle
From em'rald strand to strand,
And Saxon force and Saxon guile
Had brutalzed the land;
If fate itself should say, "Your dreams
You never can fulfill
We'd mock it's grim prophetic CLEANS,
And cling to Ireland still.
If all the hcro-souls, who died
To make the land our own,
Lay like lone dust in valleys wide
Forgotten and unknown;
If harps no more their fame would
sing
BY stOried rath or rill,
Their memories should but make us
cling
The more to ireland still.
If all those hopes that nerved our
In Erin's cause to die.
To face the rack and martyr pyres,
Or mount the scaffold high
If all those hopes were like to these
Sad wrecks on Tara's hill,
We'd take them, boys, as legacies,
And cling to ireland still.
If Celts forgive the wrongs of years
In sorrow and despair
Their fathers groans-their mothers
tears
Their homeSteadS bleak and bare
We're not of those who can forget
The blood that tyrants spill:
We mean to have sweet vengeance
yet.
And cling to Ireland still.
For oh. my friends. 'twere better be
The lowest Of the low,
Than forfeit faith and liberty
To truckle to the foe!
Then. tho we be the last on shore,
BE ours the fearless will
To fling the gauntlet down once more,
And cling I'd ireland still.

Mary, Queen of Sorrows.

In the west, the sun is sinking,
Shadows gather DER the land;
Sweet Mother Mary, Queen of Sorrows
Lend to me helping hand.
In temptations darkest hour,
Give to me thy counsel sweet;
Lead me, Mary. through the darkness
To our loving Saviour's feet.
I am sorely tempted, mother,
Here in this world, sin-defiled,
Help me to be pure, dear Mary,
Worthy to be called thy child.
Blessed Virgin, Queen of Angels,
Pure and spotless, full Of grace,
Pray for me and help me onward
In Life's needless, hurrying race.
The friendships Of this world are
feeting,
Empty are it's pleasures gay;
But thy sweet love, dear Virgin Mary,
Will comfort me on life's sad way.

WITH the POETS
Helpful Things.

Helpful Things.
There are so many helpful things to do
Along life's way,
Helps to the helper; if we but knew,
From day to day.
So many troubled hearts to soothe,
So many pathways rough to smooth,
So many comforting words to say;
Hearts that falter along the way.
Here is a lamp of hope gone out,
Along the way;
Some one stumbled and fell no doubt
But brother, stay!
Out of thy store of oil refill;
kindle the courage that shoulders
still;
Think what the Master would do
to-day
For one who had fallen beside the
way.
How many little hands still plead
Along life's way!
The old, sad story of human need
Reads on for aye.
But let us follow our Saviour's plan
Love unstinted to every man.
Content if, at most, the world should
say
Gle helped his brother along the
way"

If any Republican incines to the
opinion that Vermont's September cleo.
ton amounts to nothing, is mere
matter Of form and has no influence on
the general result, that Republicans
attention is called to the following
facts:
In every presidential election in thirty
years when the Republican majority has
fallen below $4,000, the Democrats have
elected their candidate for President,
controlled Congress, and changed the
policies of the nation.
AS accurately as the barometer fore
casts a change in weather, does the
movement up or down from a certain
Republican majority in Vermont's Sep
TENDER election indicate what is to
happen in the country two months
later.
That certain majority is $4,000. Look
at the record. Never once has the test
failed. Whenever Vermont has given
above $4,000. the country has followed
suit by electing the Republican national
ticket And whenever the majority has

cause them to actnaturaly. Thus the system
is readily cleansed of the impurities which
cause the trouble and the nourshing and
soothing effect of Nervine is allowed to do
its wonderful work of restoration without

VOTE NEXT TUESDAY.
Vermont this Year AS


fallen below $4,000, the confidence of
the Democracy has been justified by its
national success in November. Even
further, the extent of the victory one
way or the other has been forecasted
with singular accuracy by the degree of
variation from $4,000 majority given
at Vermont's September election.
In the face of all this, it behooves
Vermont Republicans to be up and
doing. The State committee is leading
actively and intelligently. Public
speakers of note have taken the stump.
Following an early drowsiness has come
waking up, and rallies have been well
attended. No schism exists in the
State party this year. Clement is on the
stump and all his followers are in line
for September triumph of magnificent
proportions. All that is now needed is
the earnest cooperation of the rank and
file. Vermont will do her duty next
Tuesday if she casts full vote. 1t is
up to the individual voter to attend to
this for himself and to see that any care
less neighbors are on hand election

There are two candidates for town
representative. Chester j. Kingsley
and William F. Warehouse. They are
both popular young men and we look to
see full vote peeled.
The Republicans of Middletown
Springs have nominated William II.
Dyer for town representative, and as
there is no opposition he will receive the
compliment of unanimous election.
Mr.. Dyer was formerly a resident of this
place.
Hon. j. E. Grady of Alphabetical.
Fla, who spent the summer here, has
returned home. Mr. Grady is an old
line southern Democrat who never had
any use for Bryan but thinks that Par
ker will be the next President. He also
thinks that every colored man is
"nigger,' Booker Washington not ex-
cepted, and that this is a white mans
country All the same Mr.. Grady is a
very pleasant and entertaining gentle
man and we shall be glad to see him
again.
