IRISH ARTISTS
We're Expert Metal Workers
I'm Centuries Long
Past.

The Irish practiced from time i'm
memorial-long before the Christian
era-the art of working in bronze,
silver, gold and enamel-an art
which had become highly developed
by the time st. Patrick arrived. Some
of the objects made show great mas
terry over metals and admirable skill
in design. This primitive art was
continued into Christian times, and
was brought to the highest perfec-
ton in the tenth and eleventh CEN
turtles. Artistic metal work continued
to flourish until about the end of the
twelfth century, but gradually de-
clined after that, owing to the gen.
eral Reorganization of society con-
sequent on the Anglo-Norman in
vasion and to the want of encourage
ment.
The three most remarkable, as
well as the most beautiful and
deliberately ornamented, objects in
the National Museum, Dublin, are
the Ardagh Chalice, the Tard Brooch
and the Cross of Cong, all made by
Christian artists. The Ardagh
Chalice, together with a brooch, was
found close to the village of Ardagh,
in County Limerick, in 1868. 1t is
an exquisite example of Celtic orna-
mentation and, judging from the de-
sign, the workmanship is of the end
of the tenth century, the brooch be-
ing of a somewhat later date. The
Tara Brooch, found in 1850, neal
Drogheda, is ornamented with amber
glass and enamel, and the character
istic Irish filigree of interlaced work
From its style it is known to be OF
the same date as the Ardagh Chalice
The Cross of Cong, which is made
of wood plated with metal and GOV.
cred with elaborate ornamentatioI
of pure Celtic design, was finished ii
1903. St. Patrick's bell, of the fifth
century, with its elaborate shrine
which was made between the year:
1921 and 1921. is an interesting
specimen of this ancient Irish art
The shrine, a fine example of the
goldsmith s work, was made to cover
and protect the old bell. >-'

AN TESTIMONIALS ROSARY.

Och, Mary, ashore" raise the win
- dow high,
The air from the moorland is fresh
and cool,
And / fain would look once before
| die
On the spreading meadows and
quivering pool;
And give me my rosary in my hand
A decade or two / can maybe. say
While the yellow sunlight floods all
the land
And tints the hills with his fare
well ray.
It's forty years since | was a bride
Since your father brought me one
day in June
To the missions close on a green
hillside
In the mountain parish of Killna-
droon;
And tonight can hear the murmur
loud
That followed the words Father
Dominic said,
And the upturned gaze of the sway
ing crowd
/ see and the hues of the candles
red.
Twas there that your father bought
me these beads
OF Irish oak, with their silver
cross;
And friend they were in my direst
needs,
And in every season of grief or
lossj
And sure God knows best, but I've
had my share
OF trials, dear, since / saw him
laid
That wintry day when the earth was
bare,
With his kindred's clay meath the
yew trees shade.
In that same sad winter poor Patrick
God rest them all-and ere on his
grave
The daisies bloomed Kate slept by
his side,
And Michael and Norah went DER
the wave;
] borrowed their passage from Ned
Twas he had always the willing
hand
But many time have my girl and
boy
Repaid the money from that new
land
And when ! am dead-now don't cry,
aroon;
God knows 1 am willing and glad
to GO
But for your sake write to them
soon
And tell them all they would like
to know,
And let me sleep where your father
lies,
And place my Rosary within my
hand,
That his eyes may see II in Paradise
And know me by 1t in that blessed
land. -Magdalen Rock.
