Oh, those are memories that evoke
The nobIest traits that stamp our race,
For through the rift Of fire and smoke,
Whore wild tho Irish slogan broke,
When foe met foeman face to face,
We know that each days battle close
Though fierce and bIoody'd been the fight,
Saw wounded soldiers tend the foes,
Heard plying words that heavenward rose,
And prayers above the dead Of night.
But we, with whom the chieftan grew
Who proudly led this bold brigade,
Whose voice, whose form, whose face we knew
Whose fiery soul, whose courage true,
Are with US dreams that will not fade;
Who've heard his glorious burning WORDS
Like Him, the Roman chief Of old,
Who bade the slaves grid on their swords,
And smite to doom their >tyrant lords,
And Heaven would aye them guiItIess hold.
And wa within the crcIing bound
Of this proud city Of the Gael,
The rebel Emmets camping ground,
The scene Of Edwards martyr wound,
The throbbing heart Of InnisfaiI-
Shall we erect no storied urn,
Or marble statue carven fair,
To him whose God-ike words could burn,
Who never more may now return
Like wearied child her breast to share.
Oh, pile the stone and heap the cairn,
And carve the likeness Of his face,
And Irvine at foot the oak and form,
The coming nations yet may learn
He lived the Isaiah Of our race.
But If you'd fill your glorious part,
And glance upon your work with pride,
And image true Of Meagher impart,
Oh, place shamrock DER his heart
For It he lived, for it he died!

AZ rolls Montana's tdeIess wave,
Far westward out whore sinks the sun,
It sweeps above nameIess grave
Where sleeps a tribune bright and brave;
solder whose campaisnns's done
A soldier on whose conquerins sword
Both gods and mon might look with pride;
An orator whose lightning word
Could flash like meteor of the Lord
Who loving lived and loving died.
The regal sum- the watching stars,
The moon when in it's rounded crest,
Fling forth in rays Of sIantins bars
Deep through the rush Of watery wars
A cross Of silver Ger his breast,
Down where his whitening bones are strewn
Beneath the rivers ceaseIess roII
And sobbing winds that night noon,
His waiIing mourners hymn their tune,
And sigh soft drges for his soul.
Full many stately galley speeds
In yloam Of glory DER the place
Where, far below the throbbing reeds
And shrouded by the water weeds,
Lies stark his pale, uneoffined face;
And travellers list with bated breath
While pilots tell the tale Of DOOM
How he who wore the vietor's wreath
Sank battling here with night and death,
And found an unanointed tomb.
But ali, no trophy crowns the spot
Where cold and puIseIess wastes the heart
That dared Of yore, when youth was hot,
The hangman's rope, the felon's lot,
To act for Fire a true mans part;
The waters seethe with hurrying dread
Above the dull and IampIess brain,
The tongue Of fire is mute and dead
And sands are round the God-IiI<e head,
And all but prayer for him is vain.

eligible bachelor in New York. He
is worth about $40,000,000, and,
although he is just fifty years old,
he looks to be abcu, forty, the right

Whitney mansion, and his social &C

emerged unscathed and unmarried.

Ais study Of the Heart.

in his memoirs Adolf Kussmaui re
iates a curious story Of Heidelberg
banker. This banker was known for
his naughty, forbidding manners; con,
sequently DR.. Nuhn, the professor Of
anatomy, was much surprised one day
when the banker came and sat with
him in a railway car and, after pleas
ant chat. asked him all sorts Of Ques-
tons, especially about the anatomy of
the heart. The next day he even called
by permission in the medical depart
ment and watched the professor dis
secting one Of those organs. Then he
drove home, and few hours later 1t
became known that he had committed
suicide by skillfuIly plunging q dagger
into his heart.

Up in. Allegheny county, New
York, the Standard Oil company
has quite a little opposition by
way of an independent refinery
The noble Sunday-school teacher
at the head of the Standard Oil
trust has decided in the past few
days to pay 20 cents more pei
barrel for oil up there than it has
been paying. In other words,
to prevent the opposition from
making any money the Standard
raises the price of oil 20 cents a
barrel more than it pays any one
else for the same kind of oil. But
Teddy has started after this
crowd, and it may be there will be
a change in things when he gets
through with this Sunday-school
crowd of oppressors.

JAP MINES FOR JApS ONLY.
Law Passed Which Will Shut Out
as4.as7e fOreiOOerS,

Tokyo, Feb. 6.-After the most
heated debate which has just taken
place in the Japanese house of repre-,
sentatives, the amendment to the min
ing law prohibiting foreigners from
working japanese mines was passed
during Mondays session.
The bill was fought bitterly by the
foreign residents here having mining
interests in Japan, and the governments
has been severely censured for advanc-
ing measure which must antagonize
certain influential interests whose
good will is believed by many to be
important and necessary at this time.
The friends of the measure insisted,
however, as mining in Japan was only
in its infancy, and as the soil and
mountains were rich in metal and
mineral deposits, all benefits to be de-
rived therefrom in the future should
be reserved by the government for ma
tive Japanese. As the law is retroac.
tive, it will play havoc with several
British, American and French syndi-
Gates having large interests in the
country.
