Though it made our eyes grow dim

Yes, he's sleeping there tonight,
But his spirit is above us
In that land SO fair and bright.
He has crossed the river

And the crown is on his brow.

lRELAN6'S PLACE. I'M.
HlSTO tY.

On yesterday, Wednesday, the
18th, st. Patrick's Day, with ten
der heart and moist eye, we set
before ourselves the far form of
ireland, garlanded with deeds of
the past, and bedecked with coll
ors of bygone days. The pages
of Irish history are, without
doubt, familiar to all. The bril-
liant lights and deep shadows, the
intense joys and keen SORROWS,
the failures and triumphs which
mark the annals of Erin are an
old and familiar story.
Her very early history contains
an air of romance, and has, rum
ming through it, a depth of cotor
which invests it with peculiar
charm. In it's primal days Druid
worship held the hearts of its peo.
pie and cult of sylvan deities
formed it's religion. The beauty
and richness of legend, in whose
lap Ireland then slept, are rivaled
by none perphaps, save those of
classic Greece herself. Tradition
supplies an endless number of
erags, hillsides and valleys, which
were the subjects of legendary
lore, and which captivated the
feelings of the Celt with an Ire
resistible spell. The history of
those times is obscured by the
many myths and fables interwov-
en- with the facts handed down to
us. Amid all this vagueness, how
ever, it ls plain that, in the early
stages of Ireland's career, heleft
upon the world the impress of q
most excellent civilization and
that her people possessed much
merit and many virtues.
Mrs. Jenkins had missed Mrs.
Brady from her accustomed
haunts and hearing several ru-
mors concerning her, went in
search of her old friend.
"They tell me you're workin'
ard night an day, Sarah AnnP''
