and so I can only with loving hands
help to weave the laurels for my idols
brow; and, though he differed from
me in religion, be mine the privilege
to bless with consecrated lips the
cause for which he struggled. and to
pray to the God of Battles to assist
in the vindication of the principles
for which he died.
If I were sculptor I would look
forward to the day when I could
chisel from Irish marble my ideal of
a hero, and I would picture it the
figure of an Irish gentleman sacrifc-
ing his hopes and his life on the altar
of his country; and I would carve on
its pedestal the name of Emmett"
Til that long long wished-for hour
does come do not imagine that his
epitaph is forgotten. There are GER
tain tablets which, like certain songs,
need not for their Interpretation the
aid of words. Their lettering is traced
in characters invisible: and the tablet
of Emmet's memory is the heart of
every Irish youth that has fibre of
chivalry and of every Irish maiden
that holds tendril of love.

A quaking mass of bog several

in the neighborhood of Carrick-on.

stricken Inhabitants are fleeing be

about by abnormal rains. Many thou.

trim and Roscommon are submerged
and the roads are impossible except
in boats.
The people in many instances have
been isolated from communication
with their neighbors owing to the
Shannon breaking it's banks. The
flooded stream is carrying many car

while haystacks and outhouses, az

washed away.
