Druid, druid, O a Ḋia mo ṡúile 'nois,
Agus timċioll na tíre na ḟeicim an
scrios;
Is fad é ó folaiġeaḋ Teamair le

A's ó leagaḋ riġ-ṫiġṫe na tíre go
léir,
Aċt a Ċríost na trócaire — díbirt
na ndaoine!
Na lag a's na laidir, na n-ard a's na
n-iosal!
Do ṡiúḃalfá lá saṁraiḋ tre condae

A's rud beo aċt an t-eallaċ ni ḟeic¬
fea san tír,
A's na tiġṫe ta siad tutte.
Oċ! díbreaḋ go fealltaṁuil Clann¬
a na nGael,
Agus díbreaḋ ó h-éisteaċt a dtean¬
ga ḃinn féin,
Agus díbreaḋ an cineaḋ amaċ air

Cum foscaḋ le faġail air ṫaoiḃ eil¬

Aċt bioḋ go bráṫ liḃ an ċuiṁne seo

" 'S go d-tiucfaiḋ go fóil am eigin

'S le réiġṫiuġaḋ le Sacsana, síol na

O! go d-tiucfaidís 's go d-troid¬

An Ċraoibín Aoiḃinn do Ċan
Inneosad sean-ḟocal mar sgeul duit,
Sean-ḟocal, ḃí coitċíonn go leor,
San tír ann a rugaḋ mé féin ann,
'S é sean-ḟocal carṫanaċ cóir;
Is coitċionn a nGaeḋilg 's a m-beur¬
la
An sean-ḟocal tíreaṁuil sin,
Gur doiliġ a ḃeiṫ san am ceudna
A feadaoil 's ag iṫe na min',
Da g-cuirfeaḋ n-Éireannaiġe féin é
Cad é sin atá mé á' ráḋ,
Gur doċar 's gur doiliġ do ḋeunaḋ
Dá rud ann san aon am aṁáin.
Is le sin, má tá siad smaoineaḋ
Go ḃ-fuil congnaṁ a n-armaiḃ le
faġail,
Buḋ ċóir dóiḃ na h-airm do ċeannaċ
'S beiṫ cleaċta le gunnaiḃ gaċ lá.
Aċt, tuigeann tú, air an láiṁ eile,
Má ta siad cinnte 'na g-croiḋe,
Go n-deunfaiḋ laḃairt an gnoṫaċ
'S gur feárr sin 'na airm air biṫ.
Buḋ ċóir dóiḃ gan duine do loscaḋ
No earball do ġearraḋ de ḃó,
Is grána liom cogaḋ do ṁeasgaḋ
Le caint sioṫċánaċ mar so.
PHILO-CELTS.
The Philo-Celtic society's annual pic¬
nic comes off at Scheutzen Park on
Thursday, Sept. 6th. It is expected
to be the largest the society has had
in a long time. The music will be
by Professor Walters, who gave ex¬
cellent satisfaction at the ball.
Professor Egan, the celebrated I¬
rish piper, will, as usual, discourse
on the bag-pipes.
T. O'K. It was not because of the non-renewal
of your subscription that the Gael did not reach
you. We mailed it to you as usual, so that it
must have gone astray in the mails.
We would here remark that we have not ceased
to mail the Gael to all who became subrcribers to
it, even though their terms be expired, and we
hope that those who do not wish to continue, will
extend the same courtesy to us by so notifying us.
The term of all subscribers who got the 4th
number of the first volume is now expired, and we
hope they will renew it, and try to get another
subscriber to accompany them.
A few ordered the Gael over twelve months ago
and have not yet paid their subscription. This is
a delicate point on which we would not like to
dwell, but surely, a little journal struggling to
extend a principle which should be dear to every
child of Erin should be shown some consideration.
Some will say that they will pay when their year
is up. Now, this is like begging the question, or
reflecting on the stability of the Gael. Its stabil¬
ity is indicated in another page, and all those who
make the insinuation will not receive another copy
through this office. They will get no other jour¬
nal published on such conditions and the Gael
will be no exception to the general rule. So that
those who are afraid to risk the large sum of sixty
cents on the only Irish journal published in Am¬
erica may keep it.
Subscribers who do not get the Gael regularly,
would oblige by sending us a postal to that effect.
