Our readers will find interesting
reading from Laiġneaċ, across the wa¬
ter, in the coming issues of An Gaoḋ-
al.
We hope all the friends of the Gae¬
lic cause will circulate An Gaoḋal as
well as they can. Every enterprise
has its journal to bring it before the
public. Patent medicine men can
flood the country with their publica-
tions and yet the Irish in the country
do not circulate five thousand copies
of their National journal. There is rot-
tenness somewhere. Had the Irish el-
ement been embued with the proper
spirit their journal would be circulated
MOTHERS ! Don’t Fail To Procure Mrs.

It soothes the child, softens the gums, allays
all pain, cures wind colic, and is the best remedy

TWENTY FIVE CENTS a BOTTLE.
Donahoe's Monthly Magazine for December is a
very interesting number as a whole. Peter Mc-
Corry leads off with an article on the Swedes and
the pure teachirgs of Luther.” Then there is a
Strange Dream. The next article is Protestant O¬
pinion on the School Question. But the great arti-
cle of the number is Cardinal Manning on “The
Church its own Witness,” which is admitted to be
one of the ablest productions of the great church-
man. The article makes twenty closely printed
pages. Then we have, by John Gilmary Shea, an
article on the Pope’s Day in New England. Shakes¬
peare in Purgatory, by the editor of the London
Punch, will well repay perusal. In all there are
thirty articles besides twenty pages of events of the
month. The eleventh year commences in January,
