n ,With silver wings trilled mournfully, .t}( The Wild Geese eastward flew.

i: The sad stars watched through the weeping Vi ,t. night ^••vv-vrj' •,•;( • .-••

^That glimmer ghostly pale, And the nested birds did shuddering wake T?or a wild, cry of hearts that break

Borne on the gathering gale.

* O'er many a little tarn and lough, %H "The lovely laud's blue eyes, :;

ThOy passed, and the water quiver 2d with pain, ^$j£ The sapphire dimmed by a mournful stain,

in the reeds were wailing cries. m

>f ^ The wind a-moan made the tree-tops rook, $*• The blessed flowers lay dead,

The ripe fruits failed in the harvesting, But these sailed fast on a drooping wing

And turned no more the head.

i "Wild Geese! Wild Geese I why did ye go ? Why did ye leave her forlorn,

Tour lady, Erin, who many a day, While summer was green and winter was grey,

Waxed whiter, nor ceased to mourn ? Her sick eyes watched in the downing's glow,

While* from the golden shore, : The sun's gem-laden argosies l' •Came sailing flown the eastward skies,

But these returned no more.

The spring came up through meads of light, With robe3 of primrose hue;

. The stars were shed so thick in May Uaeh hedgerow shone a Milky Way ;

The swallows homeward flew. Rare ruby cups of incense bright,

The red fire at the core, • June rose6 swung in the garden close, Cold autumn came, white winter's snows

Bped from the northern shore.

And they came not, O well-beloved In ajl the empty years,

Thine own fair heroes wandering, No welcome beat of strong white wing

Made music in thine ears, In Austria, France and Spain tb.y roved

Through ways as sad as death ; In alien paths the tired feet bled ; The laurel crowns that decked the head

i Were thorn-set underneath.

Ah! Patrick Sarsfield,* when yon lay, With your life-blood flowing amain,

You looked at the red stain on your hand. And "Would it wete shed for mine own dear

land!" You cried in you spirit's pain.

Did you long, true heart! in their alien clay For a mossy churchyard mound,

With the shamrocks shrouding you close and sweet,

From the weary head to the weary feet. In the blessed Irish ground.

*3arsfleld fell at the battle of Landen, on the plains of Neerwendeo, in 1698, where Marlbor­ough was defeated.

1 label attached to its arm: "This boy 1' cannot speak, and if his friends do not

j( . 'meet him, please deliver the boy at the gc'; address on the other side." No one re-

J sided at the address in question and the grandfather of the child refused to

John Ogle has retaken possession of Mr. Elcock's farm at Dowth. When first he took possession of the fsrm his action was heartily denounced by the National League and he submitted. His present act will, it is expected, in­cite public opinion against him.

LIMERICK.

A slight fire occured at Croom Castle on August 15.

At the last meeting of the Glin Board of Guardians, a laborer's representative came before the Board to inquire who was to blame for the preventing the first scheme of laborers' cottage from being taken advantage of in the Tal-bert Division. He said Captain Leslie had promised to build six cottages if the scheme were withdrawn, and on this understanding the guardians did not proceed with the scheme. The re­sult is there are no cottages built under the landlords' scheme.

LONDONDERRY.

On the night of August 16, the Mayor of Derry entertained the Irish Society and a number of citizens at a banquet in the City Hall.

The members of the Visitation of the Irish Society on August 17 proceeded to the Derry Waterworks, where they were met by the mayor and the mem­bers of the Corporation. The visitors were afterwards entertained to lunch­eon bythe contractors.

ers," had lain in wait near Derry, aild stoned a train of excursionists return­ing from Derry celebrations. The ''outrage*' was referred to as most de­liberate and cowardly.

This is the full extent of the "outrage."

MEATII. On August 16, at the Jultanstown

petty sessions the Guardians of Dro-gheda Union prosecuted Mr. Thomas Greene, milk contractor to the Union, for supplying milk adulterated to the extent of 42 ner cent. As there was but two samples of the milk taken, the law requiring three, the default was held to be fatal by a solicitor. The magistrates held the same view, and dismissed the case with £1 costs against the Guardians.

QUEEN'S GOU2ntTY. An agreement has been entered into

under Lord Ashbourne's scheme for the purchase by the tenants of their holdings on the Ballinakill portion of the property of Earl of Stanhope.

Those who have paid their rents up to the first of November last will not be called upon to pay rent due last May until the first instalment of the loan be­comes due and is payable to the Irish Land Commission. The rate of pur­chase is based on the. present rental, and the amount fixed at 18 years. To tenants holding 20 acres and under a re­duction of 10 per cent. 011 the rents will be given where they have not been fixed by the Land Sub-Commissioners. The house property in the town of Ballinakill will be sold at 15 years' purchase.

Cyclopean Remains, Staigue Port. The most remarkable specimen of

Cyclopean architecture in Ireland is that called Staigue Fort, which is situ­ate in the parish of Kilcrohan, Kerry, on a hill near the Bay of Kenmare. It is built of stone, without cement, but of admirable architecture, and is of a cir­cular form. The internal diameter is about ninety feet, the wails are eigh­teen feet high and thirteen feet thick, a doorway opens a passage to the inte­rior, and a broad and deep fosse sur­rounds the building.

Battle of Magfc Ooba. The battle of Ciontarf did not cause

the complete cessation of the Danish incursions into Ireland. In the early part of the twelfth century Magnus, prince of Norway, the Orkneys, the Hebrides, and the Isle of Man, invaded Ireland with a powerful army and ravaged the country. His progress was opposed by the men of Ulster, and in a great battle fought at Magh Coba, near Downpatrick, on St. Bartholomew's Day, Aug. 24,1103, the foreigners were totally defeated, Magnus with Sigurd, Earl of the Orkneys, and other eminent commanders being slain. Magnus was buried near Downpatrick Cathedral.

How Duiigiven Oastle Was Won. The lady who won Dungiven Castle

was first married to one of the Dod-dington family and after his death to Sir George Cooke, with whom 3he did not live on the best of terms. They finally agreed to separate, but neither wished to give up Dungiven Castle, and in order to settle the dispute it was de­cided that both should start from Lon­don on a given day and that whoever should reach Dungiven first was to be its possessor. The lady reached the Castle first, and her husband, who was only a few minutes behind, saw her flags waving over the battlements and left her in peace. The Castle was taken and Lady Cooke made a prisoner a short time afterwards by Sir Phelim O'Neill.

Primatial See of Armagh in 1669. Ten years later four wretches formed a conspiracy for his destruction He was arrested Dec. 6, 1679, and sent to London in the October following. After a sham trial he was sentenced to death and executed July 1, 1681. After execution his head was severed from his body which was dis­emboweled and quartered and his bow­els were cast into the fire. The body of the martyr was buried in the church­yard of St. Giles, in the fields, but at the end of two years ic was disinterred and conveyed to the Benedictine Mon­astery of Lambspring, in Germany, and reburied with, great solemnity.
