Robert Emmett.

Oh, God, can spirit such as this
Be born to the light of day
To flash and dazzle through the gloon
And then to fade away;
To leave behind it naught to light
A nations sombre gloom,
But thought of him and his lofty
soul
A memory and a tomb?
All, nation, thou of the crimson flag
Thought thus to end our might.
But you only flashed adown the years
A sword, colossal, bright
That will cut in twain THE Unions
ties
And sever the clanking chains.
And light in Windsors massive halls
The fire of Vengeance reigns''-
Whose flame, in time, will reach that
flag,
Whose hue is from the blood
That ebbed from mankind's bursting
hearts
AS they for freedom stood.
It's then from out the gloom will
flash
The Sunburst" of the free.
Beneath whose folds, with tears, we'll
carve
An Epitaph for thee

accused men showed them worthy fol
towers of the principles for which
many others had gladly died. Respond
ing to the formal questions as TO why
| sentence of death should not be passed
Condor tersely expressed their senti-
ments when he said, I'VE are not afraio

we have done nothing to regret, and &C
to the scaffold saying, God Save Ire
land" Their defiant cry echoing
through the court house was taken VI
by their relatives and FRIENDS.
Condor was soon pardoned because
he was an American, Mcguire was re-
leased on petition signed by forty
English journalists, who had attended
the trial and protested against the evil
dence, though it was the same as that
which convicted the others. To the last
moment it was the general belief that
the death sentence would not be car
ried out, and on the morning of Nov.
% the people of Ireland, and lovers of
liberty throughout the world, were hor-
ror stricken to receive the news that
Allen, Larkin and O'Brien had been
hanged at o'clock. True Irishmen in
life, they had gone unflinchingly to an
early grave with a last dying prayer of
God Save Ireland" and around their
tragic death T. D. Sullivan wrote what
is now the national anthem of their
native land, even as Francis Scott
Keyes wrote 1.-The Star Spangled Ban
ner'' from the inspiration of a night
in prison on an English man-of- war.
1t was but fitting that as the Irish
American survivors of the civil war
figured largely in the Fenian movement,
Sullivan should set his words to the air
of an American war song.

And don your silken gown.
For crew of Spanish sailors.
That strolled through Galway town.

Although he walks a landless man.

Look forth! see yond his dusky head

Oh, brave is he. and true is he.
And so my lips have song.

And he holds captains place.

Amid such happiness?

Hath sailed away forever
From her kin in Galway town.

God Save Ireland T"

While the soft sweet old Irish meio-
dies made popular by Moore are widely
known, there is an interesting If SAD
story connected with the writing OF
lreland's national anthem, God Save
Ireland" which will doubtless inter-
est many Of our readers and refresh
the memory Of others who remember
the days of the Fenians.
Early one morning in September
1867, the police on duty in Oak
street Manchester, England, after a
desperate struggle, accosted as sus-
picious characters two broad-shoul-
dered, muscular men who proved TO
be heavily armed. and at the hearing
a few hours later, were about to be
sentenced by the magistrate to a few
days imprisonment under the va
grancy act, when a detective recog-
nized them as Colonel Thomas J. Kel-
ley and Captain Deasey, prominent
Fenians for whose capture the gov
eminent forces had been bending
every effort since the remarkably clever
rescue of James Stephens from Rich
mond jail, Dublin. Their arrest caused
great satisfaction In England. and
after preliminary hearing a few days
later they were remanded to the coun-
ty Jail to await trial on the charge of
treason-felony, a crime then newly
invented by the English government
enabling it to condemn Irishmen to
death for political reasons. They were
immediately handcuffed and placed in
locked cells in the ordinary prison van

dozen policemen as guards-eight with
the van and four in a cab. Passing
the Hyde road railway arch, in a thin
ly populated section, as if by magic a
score of men appeared many carrying
pistols, and the police fled without a
struggle, leaving the rescuers free to
break down the door. In firing through
the lock, a shot lodged in the heart of
Police Sergeant Brett, who was inside
the van, and his death two hours later
was the only fatality of this daring res
cue, which shook England to its foun-
dations-a little band of Fenians in
broad daylight rescuing fellow conspir-
ators in the midst of an English city,
and safely escaping the mob and po-
lice. Ten minutes after their flight the
police returned, reinforced by mob,
and only three of the band, who sacri-
feed themselves to cover their COM
rades' retreat, were captured and
roughly handled
In response to the howl of the Brit
