The Irish in America

To no nation does Ireland owe more
than to America, and to no nation has
Ireland given more loyal service. This
republic has given to our people a
home and a citizenship which invests
them with all the privileges of free
men. The republic has received in re-
turn the loyal devotion of their Irish
lives and in its days of danger the
good red blood Of their soldierly hearts.
We never can forget the strong word
of the late Senator HOar who. when
speaking Of the Irish in their relation
to America, said: The Irish brought
as dOwry to this marriage which the
centuries are TO weld. the great traits
of the great races-capacity to produce
great men under most adverse condi-
tons, capacity for rapid elevation
when conditions are favorable. soldier
~ qualities. the gift of eloquence. the
power of severe patient labor. passion
for owning land, strong domestic af-
fections chastity, deep religious feel
ing"
our Irish blood and our Catholic
faith give us elements or strength for
our American citizenship: both are
sources Of courage and inspiration for
manhood and liberty. Our Catholic
faith gives US our belief in God as the
foundation of all social strength and
fidelity to His truth is thenorm of all
life and the means of that morality
which alone can save society. Bishop
COnaty.

LAMENT OF THE SOCIETY
LEADER.

II really's most distressing
When ones affluent and proud
To think he must associate
With such a frightful crowd.
Time was when high society
The awful crush excluded,
And into our r-hundTedsay
Outsiders ne'er intruded.
And, goodness knows, the attitude
Of that four hundred toward one
The friendship of so many folk
UnconsciOnably bored one.
But in Rip Van Wrinkle sleep
A few short years | browse, and
Awake to find the list has grown
To something past a thousand!
Exclusive, BAH A thousand who
Must come to ones cotillion,
A thousand one must know among
A paltry ninety million!
The press at functions nowadays
Is more than one can utah.
One might as well seek pleasure in
The Black Hole of Calcutta.
l really think l must rebel
And form a new list, giving
The people whose acquaintance make
Life really worth the living.
OF course I'd leave out every one
Save those possessed of pelf;
In fact-welI, on the list l place
Nobody but myself.

The CARE OF MEN.

Your troubles, little boy, are small,
Compared to mine;
Why should you ever sigh at all,
Or ever whine?
Why should you ever let vain tears
Bedim your eyes?
The proudest, richest of your years
Before you lies.
Shame on you, little boy to fret!
How can you know
The meaning of bereavement yet
The lonely woe?
Oh, little boy, the way is long
Before you still;
What can you know of right or wrong,
Or good or ill?
You have not learned the bitterness
OF love betrayed,
Nor toiled where men are pitiless,
By profit swayed.
Why should you suffer little woes
To mar your glee?
You neer have borne such cares as
those
Which trouble me.
Yet God may sometimes wonder why
Men should despair
With such small cares as they and I
Are made to bear.
