Nev. We shall permit Mr. M A Feeney to tell
his tale as follows, —
Dear Sir — Find herewith money order, W. F. &
Co., for $19 in payment for GAEL to be mailed to
subscribers, as per list on reverse side of this sheet.
The old subscriptions should have been renewed
long since, and would have, but I was waiting for
our friend J. F. Egan, who has been busily engaged
making laws for our Little State for two months
or more. He is the man who got the list of sub¬
scribers up to its present size.
Hoping that you are well and wishing the GAEL
success &c.

We could not expect that all the readers ot THE
GAEL could be as successful as Mr. M. A. Feeney,
and Mr. P. McEniry in drumming up subscribers,
but when Mr. Feeney is able to secure 31, and Mr.
McEniry 19 in two months, in comparatively small
cities, it puts the friends of the language move¬
ment, in the large cities, in a corner. This is a
pretty hard nut for our friends M'Cosker and the
gallant Major Maher to crack, but, there is no
doubt but they will be able to overcome it. This
work requires enthusiasm and a knack to infuse
that enthusiasm into those solicited, and also a de¬
termination not to be discouraged by refusal.
Now, we hope the large cities will do their duty,
and we shall name a few of them, and some of the
Philo-Celts who are able to do the work if they
put their shoulder to the wheel. They did it be¬
fore. New York, Hon. Denis Burns, E. O’Keeffe
and P. Morrissey: Binghamton P. J. McTighe ;
Boston, P. J. O'Daly, P. Mahoney & P. Doody.
Phil. J. J, Lyons. T. McEniry, P. J Crean, D Gal¬
lagher, P McFadden and A P Ward: Pittsburg, T.
J. Madigan: Lawrence, T J Griffin: Scranton,
Prof. M J Lovern: Chicago, Miss M C Gallagher:
St. Louis, J G Joyce. J Fineran: San Francisco,
M P Ward, P McGreal, Capt. Egan, J McGrath. J
Deasy. Paterson, J Gibson. In fact Messrs Feeney
and McEniry put all P. Celts on their pins. This
is the way to spread the movement, and we hope
that the impetus given to it by the above named
gentlemen, will be pushed to a successful issue.
The reader who cannot get a large number, let him
try to get some. And that God may speed the
work.
The following few proverbs pronounced and ex¬
plained will form an interesting lesson for the
learner.
Is feárr clú na caonnaċ.
iss fawur klew naw kaynach-
Character is better than wealth.
Air lí ní breiṫ fear gan súiliḃ.
air lee nee breh far gon sooliv.
A man without eyes is no judge.
An duḃ gné ní h-aṫruiġṫear é.
on dhuv ginay nee horriy-har eh.
The black hue is not changed.
An te tá suas óltar deoċ air.
on thay thaw soo-us olethur diugh air,
He who is up is toasted,
An te tá síos buailtear cos air.
on thay thaw she-us boolther kus air.
He who is down is trampled on.
An t-slat naċ n-glacann sníoṁ.
on thlath naugh nglakunh shneeuv.
The rod that does not take twisting.
Beaṫa duine a ṫoil;
