"The ouId Atari

About halfway between Ballygawley
and Sixmilecross, Tyrone lies i beau
tiful piece of fiat low ground among
the Altamuskin hills. This green spot
is known among the people as The
! Ould Altar" Upwards of forty years
ago an altar stood here, where mass
was celebTated-the cong egation fill-
ing the vcrdant piece of fiat ground.
The people of this division Of ErIigal
kieran parish heard mass here until
the erection of Dhnmoyle church,
which stands about a mile Z. y. Il.
from the "Ould Altar" Mr.. Michael
, Mullen. Foremass lower, SiXmilecross,
| writer Of the following poem in the
Leinster Leader, hopes il may recall
happy assoc ations in the breasts Of
some of the exiles who knclt here in
the careless days of youth, long years
ago:
Now unfrequentcd, soil airy,
By a rugged mountains base,
Ii Altamuskin lies q lowly.
But u consecrated place:
By elevations nigh encircled
.Nnd stream glideS by its side
This vardant patch, called the "Ould
Altar"
Where to pray once people hied.
OF years two scores have passed by
nearly.
Since in hundreds peasants poured
From the surrounding hills and valleye
TO this home OF Chr ST adored:
Each Sabbath morning, young and
aged
Hurried there TO holy mass.
Before tn "Ould Altar" kneeling lowly
On their 'knee-stones'' Oh the grass.
This place recalls our fathers strug-
oinS
To uphold st. Patrick's cause;
Their faithful steadfast march right
Daring nigh. and demon laws.
They come to him in this Wild cast
ness:
Though no bcn called them to
stin St Pstrick's words the voice of
Ran~ ,hrough-sang through each
All, see those gray-halred fathers,
mothers.
See the stalwart and the fair.
The young. the innocent low kneeling
In the attitude of prayer;
Their thin hands lifted up appealing,
Eyes turned to the Fathers Son;
While AYES on their pure lips trem-
blad.
Ere they sped to Mary's throne
Their only roof the distant heavens;
Naught to shield them from the
storm
The sleet, the snow, the bowling temp
But the walls those wild hills form.
The elemental rudeness, even
In the deep December drifts.
Could not keep them from "Ould AL |
tar
Praising God for all His gifts.
Some from out its sacred precincts
Have won fame in other climes, /
But still they think on Altamuskin,
And the sad yet dear old times;
They think betimes on the "Ould AL |
tar
And the people bowed in prayer,
Their Paters and their AYES breathing
In the mellow Gaelic there.
There now no white-robed sloggarth's
kneeling,
There no rugged peasants pray;
Almost all who knelt and wept there
Have to haavn been called away.
Holy shrines their dust doth harbor-
Err.gal and dear Dunmoyle:
Still their white spirits shower bless
ings
On tn "ould Atlas" sacred soil.
Tho Pilot
We mourn our dead beneath the sod.
Yet those We mourn shall never die:
Their spirits safe at last with God.
Immortal wait beyond Tbe sl.1,
