IRELAND UNDER
BRITISH DOMINION

Below appears a brief resume of
British rule in Ireland, which is in
teresting reading just at this time.
The clipping is taken from the Christ
ian Science Monitor:
at has frequently been alleged by
Irish patriots that for seven CEN
turtles Ireland has been groaning un-
der the tyranny of England" writes
Mr.. Standish O'Grady, the we'll known
Irish historian. This is a fair illus
tration of our national infrmity of
saying anything true or false that
seems to give a vent to the passion
which possesses our soul. The anti
English passion is just now raging
amongst a good many of us Irish,
and this absurd pronouncement, de-
livered with energy, supplies a quite
lyrical expression to that passion.
There is something filling. sa~tisfac-
tory, and ~enlarging in the phrase
and its idea. Seven centuries groan-
ing under Saxon oppression! How
satisfactory it must be to a people
very poetical and rhetorical and who
love to remember and enlarge upon
grievances! Why, the Poles are not
in it with us here. They can only
brag of two centuries of oppression,
while our proud boast is of seven
full centuries; to be accurate, TAG
years counting from the Norman
conquest, when the grooming is sup
posed to have begun. The wonder
is that after such a mighty spell of
lamentation we are still able to grOan
at all, and even able to groan with
such a prodigious volume of sound
that u u~lulation has almost taken
captive the ear of the world. We
have all read in English history of
the Groan of the Britains,' the IA
nous letter written to Rome when
our ancestors, the Milesian-Irish,
were devastating Britannia and
sweeping the young Britons into
Irish captivity and slavery. If the
modern British were as poetical and
rhetorical as ourselves they might, on
this score, fill the worlds a too
with counter charges against the
ferocious and b~lood-thirsty Irish. The
seven centuries of oppression, i n
fact, is a shameless, impudent, mis-
statement of the facts of Anglo-lrish
history. We have a very modern po-
litical party eager but unable to set
up in Ireland a government OF their
own, and in pursuance of their pro-
paganda this very modern party has
been continually classifying Anglo
Irish history, seeking to prove that
England has always been a brutal
tyrant and Ireland a suffering saint.
They are never answered, and the
more the pity. But the nation as a
whole instinctively feels that that
view is false. They only succeed in
affecting imaginative young people,
and those only while they are still
raw. new to life, and inexperienced.
'If we take a passing glimpse of
Irish history. one great fact is notice
able which seems TO govern all the
relations between Ireland and Eng

THE UNRULY MEMBER.

"The homeless tongue, so small and
weak,
Can crush and KILL" declares the
Greek.
The tongue destroys a greater
horde"
The Turk asserts, than does the
sword"
The Persian proverb wisely saith,
"A lengthy tongue-an early DEATH
Or sometimes takes this form instead,
Don't let your tongue cut off your
head"
"The tongue can speak a word whose
speed"
Say the Chinese, 'outstrips the
steed."
While Arab sages this impart,
"The tongues great ~storehouse IS
the heart"
From Hebrew wit the maxim sprung,
Though feet should slip, ne'er let
the tongue"
The sacred writer crowns the whole,
"Who keeps his tongue doth keep his
so,,l" Elk.

ASLEEP.

Little hands are calm in peace,
Tired eyes no watching keep,
No rough, weary road to tread;
Little baby is asleep.
Some heads press the pillow soft,
Some are close on mothers breast
But this precious little n
Lieth in a dreamless rest.
Over her the grasses wave,
Summer breeZes whisper low,
All alike to her the rain
Or the winters drifting snow.
And we wonder, up above,
Will she grow to wOman's grace,
Or eternal years roll by
And unchanged her baby face?
Lies great mystery, who can tell,
IT'S our lot to work and weep
But we know, secure from harm
Little baby is asleep.
