The Irish Mother.

To her simple soul marriage meant

tie tendeTnesses-her affection was as
fixed as the stars He might be un.
reasonable, exacting-nay, in trying
times he might be cruel-but her faitf
in the divine right of husbands was un.
shaken.
She would have the children reveren-
tial to their father even if she should
have to romance a little to effect II
and with what loving sophistry she ex-
planned away his weakness!
She never understood a constitution
political or physical, but when sick
ness was in the family her pathetic
care made the poor broth Strengthening
and the bitter medicine sweet. No
sleep. no rest, no peace for her while
the shadow of death lay across the
Threshold. and how hard it was to die
under her beseeching eyes; but if a
summons had really come she would
hold a. crucifiX to the dying lips, and
the beloved son or daughter carried the
sound Of her voice with them to heav-

say the prayers for the departing soul ?
Not even the story of her country s
wrongs could embitter her guileless ma
ture. The mantle of her charity COW

times, secretly. daring not to let 1t be

Anything evil in them, her glory and

find what wonders she had worked
with her few talents. What a tragedy
Shakespeare could have woven around
her, haunted all her life by a phantom
ship at anchor in some harbor waiting
till the children of her love were old
forever. How sorrowful must have
been her joy on seeing them rise to the
stature of men and womenl
I wonder if she is still in the old land,
stealing out of the lonely home at
and looking with her tender
eyes, always westward? And when no
one is by, falling on her knees and
lifting her hands in such intensity of
supplication that they touch the hem

If flowers emblematic of their lives
could spring from the dust beneath, it

above the heart, there would be lilies

EVENING NEAR LIMERICK.

Ger Cratloe's wood the sun has set
But bright above the hills of Clare
The golden cloudlets linger yet.
AS 10th to leave a scene so fair.
Released from labor's daily care,
Far from the shadows of the town,
With eager step 1 hasten where
] trace the winding Avandoun.
Softly it's crystal water flow
AS DER their pebbly bed they glide,
Scarce murmuring as they onward go
To swell the Shannon's lordly tide.
Majestic river! BY thy side
AT evening hour love to be
Where thy proud waters swelling wide
Roll onward to the boundless sea.
How fair the scene that meets the eye
Within this leafy solitude;
The fertile plain, the golden sky,
The heath-clad hill and leafy wood.
And /, who oft have listless stood.
Where men at sacred affairs bow
Before the omnipresent God,
Do bow in admiration now.
Here, from the altar, where at morn
The lark his heaven-taught anthem
sings
And, on the breeze, the fragrant thorn,
Glad Natures hottest incense filings;
Here. upon Faiths unfettered wings,
A while from sensual passion free,
My soul involuntary springs,
God of the universe, to thee!

feeding the live stock, and he discov-

AS the goat jumped from the crib
Edwards aimed vicious kick at the
animal. delivered with such force as
almost to jerk his hip from the socket.
As a result Edwards was confined TO
his bed for three days, but when he
arose he found that he had been cured
of his nervousness. He now asserts
that the goat accomplished in five sec
onds what fiyephysicians had been try
