Our friend John Kyne looks blooming after his
tour through the Old Country where he was feted
like a prince.
Counsellor John C. McGuire is happy since he
contributed in no small degree to the election of
his friend Mayor Chapin last month
The Hon. Judge Rooney is an enthusiastic Pro¬
tectionist. He has organized the Kings County
Protective League, from which he expects large re¬
sults when the time comes.
Irish-Americans, regardless of political affiliation
will be pleased to learn that President Harrison
has appointed the genial and patriotic Editor of the
TABLET, Gen Kerwin, to the important and luc¬
rative position of Collector of Internal Revenue for
the New York District.
We see by a late issue of the Dublin Freeman's
Journal that at a recent meeting of the Council
of the Society for the Preservation of the Irish
Language, the secretary was instructed to com¬
municate with the authorities of the Catholic
University at Washington with a view to impress
upon them the desirability of establishing a Celt¬
ic chair in that University.
SEANṀÓIR AIR LÁ 'N ḂREIṪEAṀ.¬
NAIS, le P. J. Creiċín. Leantaḋ.
Fiafruiġeann réasún, "Cia h-é Dia?
Cia níḋ nádúir? Cia as a d-tainic
duine? Cia ḃ-fuil flaiṫeas? Go tuige a
bhfuil ifrionn an? & cia h-é ar ndeireaḋ
Ar cruṫuiġead an doṁan a b-pléisiúr,
& an sin a sgrios amaċ a ḃ-feirg. Aon
dol ṫimċioll aṁain do'n doṁan agus
é ṫré ṫeine, ḃeiḋeaḋ sé mar splanc.
Mar luinge dóṫa air fairge, raċfaiḋ
go iaċtar an uisge, imṫeoċaiḋ an doṁ¬
an a neiṁ-niḋ Ní ḃeiḋ greim de le fáġ¬
ail. An a riġeaċt farsaing ní ḃeiḋeaḋ
tadaiḋ aċ dorċadas agus fallaṁain,
na reulta múċta ; gan niḋ le faġail a
ḋearḃóċaḋ go raḃ cruṫaḋ ariaṁ ann.
O, naċ fíor iad na focla, "Amuideaċd
air amuideaċd, is amuideaċd niḋ air
biṫ aċ Dia a ġráḋúġaḋ."
O, a Ḋia, naċ uaṫḃásaċ an t-aṁarc
no an cuiṁne é seo? An aisling a ḃí
ansa méid a ċuaiḋ ṫart! Cia 's bríġ
do'n am atá le ṫeaċt? O ceisteanna
diṫċéille. Dia a ċuir air bun an stáid
seo air gaċ niḋ d'ar ċruṫuiġ sé. Ni
ṫig linn an stáid seo aṫruġaḋ, ṫoraḋ
mar saoilfeamuid Dia féin a ṁarḃaḋ.
Aċ cuiṁniġ gur b'í an duḃáilce a ḃiḋ¬
eas trioblóideaċ annsa n-am sin; béiḋ
suḃáilce air nós sáḃálta. Ansa moi¬
meint uaḃásaċ seo, béiḋ suḃáilce smig¬
eaḋ go sásta air aisteaċt Ċríosd. Tá
an t-suḃáilce do-ṁarḃṫa; mar ḃeiṫ gaṫ

seasfaiḋ an t-anam, mar ġeall air an
t-suḃáilce, do-ṁarḃṫa, na ṡeod ġeall,
glégeal, a lár cuṁaċt ifrinn & sgrios
agus reubaḋ an doṁain.
A n-diaiġ an doṁain a ḃeiṫ dóṫtaḋ
& gaċ niḋ sgriosta ḋé, tiocfaiḋ Miċeál
Árdeangal a séideaḋ ann gall trumpa,

Le ḃeiṫ ar leanaṁaint.
