Tho Journey Onwards.

AS slow our ship her foamy track
Against the wind was cleaving.
Her trembling pennant still LOOKED back
TO that dear isle twas leaving.
So 10th we part from all we love.
From all the links that bind us:
So turn our hearts. as on We rove,
To those we've left behird us.
When. round the bowl OF VANISHED
We talk with joyous seeming
With smiles that might as we'll bt.
tears,
So faint. so sad their bcaming:
While memory brings US back again
Each early tie that twincd us.
Oh! sweets the cup that circled thel,
To those we've left behind us.
And when. III other chimes, we meet
Some isle Or vale enchanting.
Where all looks tlowery. wild and sweet
And nought but love is wanting:
We think how great had been our bliss
If Heaven had been assign'd us
To live and die in scenes like this,
With some we've left behind us.
AS travellers oft look back at eve
When eastward darkly going.
TO gaze upon that light they leave
Still faint behind them glowing
So. when the close OF pleasures day
TO gloom hath near consign'd us.
We turn to catch one fading ray
OF joy that's left behind us.

The Irish Revival Has Found
Its Way to Scotland.
Anecdotes of Father Burke Told

In the last issue of the Buffalo Cath

Macmanus, dated Mt. Charles. Ire
land. The writer says:
The Irish revival is spreading 10
the Highlands of Scotland and the
Scotch are busly advocating the re-
storation of their language. a depu-
tation from the Highlands recently
waited on the Secretary fo- Scotland.
Mr. Sinclair, pointing out to him that
of the Scotch children in the High
lands, from $4,000 to $4,000 were
Gaelic speakers and should be taught
in that language. The Secretary for
Scotland announced that the Educa
ton Department had favorably con-
sidered the point and would in future
allow G10 per year for the employ
nent of Gaelic teacher in each school
tended by Gaeic-SpcakiES children
Of course the Gaelic of the Highlands
of Scotland is the very same language
aus the Gaelic OF Ircland-with some
little difference of dialect only-just
as the English dialect of Kerry man
might differ from the English dialect
at Il Yorkshire man.
The Highlands of Scotland was peo-
pied from Ireland. and Ireland for long
centuries supplied to it its kings. st.

I once heard from q country his
toran an interesting theory in ex-
PLANTATION of how Scotland came to be
peopled by the Irish. In estimating
the value OF this theory am going
to set forth it is of Importance to
state that 1t was advanced by my
rountrymen in the course of an argu-
mcnt with a bumptious Scot. Said
our historian: do you know how
Scotland came to be peopled tirst:"
"A hundred years after the food" re-
piled the Scot. "some OF Noah's peo-
pie steered to it, Right enough"
said our historian. but when the pOpu-
'ation of Ireland was tiourishing,
Noah's people in Scotland were almost
dwindled out. and it happened that one
vt them sent a messenger to Ireland
to ask for 4 cargo Of hrogucs and
shoes. The message was delivered TO
& king who was hard Of hearing, and
instead Of sending back Il cargo Of
brogues and shoes. he sent Il cargo of
rogues and fools. Their descendants
people Scotland at the present day."
Presently I am not prepared to vouch
for the accuracy Of this theory

OF our wurldf:.mous preacher,
Father Tom Burke, someone has lately

meunor. was once present at supper
where Father Burke kept in roars OF
laughter number Of young students
who were there also. DIR. Dorian re-

Of his spirits. He said, II think such
levity is unworthy of your pricstly
dignity. and if it We're not for this

deep in his prayer and. apparently,

Old sorrows from their sleep:

The Bishop of Ardagh. in the course
of a recent lecture upon Religion and
Morality" said that he once had
conversation with Mr.. Bourke Cochran
who said there was IL great future in
store for Ireland. She had the biggest
and deepest harbors of the west to re-
ceive the big ships of the future. and
secondly it was the only nation in
which the sanctity OF marriage was
respected. The Yankee and the Anglo
Saxon were dying out, the Irish would
yet people America. His Lordship
hoped there may be something In the
prophecy. But at all events they in
ireland would make religion the basis
of their morality. They would. under
its banner, teach and learn to be hon.
est, sober. charitable AMI unselfish.
They would first act OH this principle
in their schools, for the cs.ild was
father of the man, or as a great mead
master put it, a nation could only he
saved by it's faith. and the youth of q
nation were the trustees Of posterity.

Daring Jail Break at Lewiston.

big Frank" Mitchell, who
has been held at the Lewiston
Jail for several months awaiting
trial for the killing of Antoine
Broncheau at the latter's home
near Culdesac at a dance last
January, escaped from the jail
Sunday night and is still at large.
By some means Mitchell secured
a revolver and when the jailer
came near the cell Mitchell cover
ed him with the weapon and
forced him to unlock the cell
door. He then forced another
prisoner to tie and gag the jailer
and the two then made their es-
cape. It was couple hours be-
fore the jailer was discovered
and released. Word was at once
sent to Spokane for Harry Drap-
er and his blood hounds and
when they arrived the trail was
taken up and Mitchell traced to
Spalding where the trail was lost
and could not be recovered.
Mitchell stole a horse after leav-
ing Lewiston and rode to a point
near Spalding where he abandon
ed the animal. It is thought he
has got among friends who will
hide him until he can escape
from the country. E. C. Roby,
the other prisoner, is still at
large. He was sentenced for an
unspeakable crime.

Hall Will Raise Sheep.

It is rumored that C. J. Hall,
the big Salmon river cattle man,
has purchased a big band of
sheep and will do away with his
cattle and raise sheep exclusive
ly. Quite a number of the stock
men across the river are be-
ginning to see where it will be
necessary for them soon to take
to the sheep business and sell off
their cattle for as the range gets
fenced up more each year the
cattle range gets too small to
prove profitable and sheep will
do better there as there
is much land that cannot be
farmed or pastured' by cattle
that will provide fine range for
sheep. The low price of cattle
for the past several years is also
causing many to want to quit
the business.
