A sPRIG OF SHAMROCK.

(by M. Cole, lSaaCSCOWn).
Just tiny sprig of Shamrock,
From the green hills of Westmeath;
Yet, oh! the tender memories
That to me. it's petals breathe;
Memories both sad and joyful,
OF old Ireland far away,
Where I wore my country's emblem
On a bye gone Patricks Day!
Just a little spring of Shamrock,
With its leaves, still fresh and green;
And before my tear-dimmed vision
Comes each we'll remembered scene.
Green hills, crowned with leafy Sham
rocks,
Where the young lambs gambol free,
And the sunshine and the shower
Follow each alternately.
Daisies spring from the meadows,
Violets peeping from each nook;
And the primroses meath the hedges,
And the ferns by the brook;
Now I hear the ripping streamlet,
Making music flowing by,
And the blackbird's merry carol,
And the lark's song in the sky.
Now I see a low rooted cottage,
Up a winding old boreen,
And feel the breath of violets
Borne on the March winds keen,
And hear again loved voices,
Sweetest music to my ear,
That in the silence of the grave,
Are hushed for many year.
All! that low rooted white-washed cot
tage,
It, too, vanished long ago;
Sheep and cattle now are browsing,
Where the turf fires once did glow;
IT'S the old tale of oppression,
OF landlord far away,
OF harsh exacting agent;
And rent too high to pay.
Then a dark day Of eviction,
And vile crowbar brigade;
All! the horrors of that evening
From my memory ne'er will fade;
When a neighbor dare not offer,
Shelter for single night;
And the canopy of Heaven
Was our roof-tree till daylight.
All! our broken hearted parents,
Were soon lying side by side;
In the graveyard by the river,
Where the peaceful waters glide;
Then / came across the ocean,
On bygone Patrick's Day;
Still my mind will ever wander.
To old Ireland far away.
Green Westmeath, your hills and val
leys,
Are now desolate today;
Many happy homes have vanished
And their inmates gone away;
Never more I'll pluck the Shamrock,
On your hills, on loved Westmeath;
But my thoughts shall e'er be with
you
Till my latest sigh l breathe.

IN AUSTRALIA
MAY MEAN WARS END

(By w. Frances Ahern, in N. Y. CALI
Sydney, New South Wales, March
3.-An agitation is now being worked
up in Australia that the Dominions
should have voice in the affairs of
the British empire. AS might be ex-
pected, the cry is started by the class
that tried to introduce CONSUMPTION
into Australia, but failed. Presumably
the idea is to bring Australia closer
into the affairs of the British cabinet,
to be ruled from Britain instead of
from the parliaments of Australia.
What Australians want is not to have
a say in empire" affairs, but that the
British imperial government will not
interfere with our local autonomy.
Plainly, Australia does not want
share in the government of the empire
with Great Britain; neither do we
want voice in deciding as to whether
Britain should go to war; We do not
want to be invited to send representa-
tives to sit on an imperial council rep
resenting the dominions in London,
because we recognize full we'll that
whoever is sent will quickly be muz-
zled by the British cabinet, and Aus
traIias best interests would immedi-
ateIy be sidetracked. Not to England's
interests, but to the interests OF those
members who control the British cab
met, which are made to pass as Eng
lands interest. We have had al
ready plain proof of this in the actions
of the Australian prime minister while
in England.
What we want in Australia is COM
plete self-government. England is not
likely to look favorably on any scheme
of an imperial cabinet If her advisers
have the slightest inkling that popular
opinion is against such action, for we
must admit that the officials at the
head of the British cabinet are not as
thick-headed as most people imagine.
Australian self-goyernment has been
rather hollow-ringing imitation of
what it should be, since the leading
capitalists of Europe fell out, and
there was no small measure of pro-
test in the recent CONSUMPTION referen
| dunn.
AS have already pointed out in the
American press, the recent referendum
has established a precedent pregnant
with possibilities for enormous good
Already the papers of the world are
seeing, as l predicted some months
ago, the lesson of the populace speak
ing, and the news is spreading.
And once the people have say il
deciding whether they will go to wal
or not, then the dawn of the last war i!
at hand. And if at that date the diplo
; matists decide the time is ripe TO-
drenching the world in blood again
J the people may be depended on to TAX
hand in the matter.
And, once they do that, there will b
