AN GAOḊAL.
Le eitill ġaoiġ'
A's cosa síġ',
Aig dul air slíġe na n-dúl.
Eoċaiḋ — Beoṫaċ.
Éist leis fuaimniġ, fuaimniġ,
Fuaimniġ tríd na sgáṫaiḃ.
Nessa — Bania
Mar ġuṫaiḃ ḃinne
D' aingliḃ glinne
Guiḋe ċum peaċaiġ úṁal.
Nessa — Bania — Eoċaiḋ — Beoṫaċ,
Tar air siúḃal! tar air siúḃal!
Tar air siúḃal! tar air siúḃall!
Oir tá 'n clog, an clog a' bualaḋ.
O tar, tar air siúḃal!
Cóiṁseinm.
Nuair in Earraċ a saoiġil tá ḋá ḟíor-
ċroiḋe mar aon; —
O Ḟir na h-Éireann!
A m-bláṫ deas an t-Saṁraiḋ béiḋ fios
air a seun; —
O Ṁná na h-Éireann!
Aċt 'san ḃ-Fóġṁar ḃuiḋe, nuair tá 'n

Mar ḋuilliḃ críon na m-bláṫ;
Béiḋ siadsan treun, go síntear iad

'San Roillig ḟuar go bráṫ.
CRÍOĊ.
With wing so fleet
And fairy feet,
A trip on a trackless way.
Eocaidh — Beothach.
Hear it sounding, sounding,
Sounding through the shadow.
Nessa — Bania.
Like angels voicing,
Heaven's rejoicing,
When the erring pray.
Nessa — Bania — Eocaidh — Beothach.
Come away! come away !
Come away ! come away!
For the bell, the bell is ringing.
O come, come away !
Chorus.
When in life's budding Springtime two
true hearts are one :—
O Men of Erin!
In the bloom of the Summer their
worth will be known ;—
O Maids of Erin !
And in the Autumn brown, when the
false go down
Like withered leaves in the blast
They will still fare on till they rest
them, one,
In their wintry home at last.

GÆL GLAS — Quite a number of persons want to
know who Gael Glas is. That information we can¬
not at present impart. Any one wishing to com¬
municate directly with him can do so through the
Gael. We must say that his present communica¬
tion is a remarkable one, and one, too, which ver¬
y few will have the nerve to antagonize ; certainly,
no Christian can. In this connection, it may not
be out of place here to remind those who may im¬
agine that the Gael is not the proper channel for
such matters, that the mission of the Gael is the
autonomy of the Irish Nation — the Language in
which connection being of paramount importance,
This the title page of the Gael clearly points out.
At the same time we express no opinion on the
Order of the Cross except that, as its organizer
fully and learnedly demonstrates, God has some
times chosen the weak to accomplish stupendous
ends.
The Gael thanks the San Francisco SUN and the
Chicago PILOT for their kind notice ; we hope
Gaels will notify the fact.
Gaels should lose no opportunity to get reports
of the Gaelic movement into the various papers
in their several localities. And we cannot con¬
ceive how any news item, apart from the utter an¬
nihilation of the British power by the Mahdi, or
some other di, should be read with greater avidi¬
ty than that of recounting the exertions made, at
home and abroad, to counteract the effects of the
centuries of persecution to which, to use a figure
of speech, the language had been subjected.
GAELIC HEADLINES, — Mr. Ward, of Belfast,
has issued Gaelic headlines for slates, the price is
only two shillings for two dozen. The writing is
the neatest we have yet seen. They are so useful
to the Gaelic school room that none should be with¬
out them. Mr. Ward deserves the gratitude of
his fellow countrymen for the deep interest which
he takes in the preservation of his native language
and other matters connected with the honor of his
country.
