We were obliged to hold over the
Yellow Thresher, the Tomás Ruaḋ
Seanċus, and the installment of O'Cur¬
ry’s Lectures for want of space.
Many persons when solicitted to be¬
come subscribers to the Gael say,
"Send it to me," without paying furth¬
er attention to it. Now, it is repugnant
to our conception of what the duty of
Irishmen in respect to their language
is to be continually dunning them in
its regard, especially when we are the
supposed immediate beneficiary. We
would ask those who receive the paper
and make no return for it. Whence
comes the cost of its production? No
one, of course, is obliged to contribute
towards the movement to preserve the
language, but THE IRISHMAN considers
it not an obligation but a duty.
We would advise John Finerty to
deny the "Pat Grants” access to his
columns; 'tis not pleasant to have to
apologize for lying!
How bigotry warps reason : When
Salisbury harangued the Orangemen to
bloodshed he did not pause to think
that the Irish could hire Hessian socia¬
lists to do in England what he would
do in Ireland. So that, in view of pre¬
sent scientific destructive appliances,
his Lordship must be an idiot or take
the Irish to be crawling worms.
What a flurry the people have been
in in regard to the prospect of home
rule; our flurry is great, too, but it is
because of the belief that, in the event
the language would be cared for.
What a pity that THE GAEL does
not permit shady lacksters to pervert
history? And what historians? The
lying, nameless, blasphemous cowards.
CUIRIMÍS LE ĊÉILE.
Cuirimís le ċéile sul a d-tiocfaiḋ an

Ċum luċt ínste ár sgeultaḋ do ṫreas¬

Na stad'maois d' ár saoṫar faid is

Oir oiḋċe an léirsgris go deiṁin dúinn

Aċt cuirimís le ċéile
Ċum na sgeulta fíor-ḃreáġ'

Cuirimís le ċéile as bailiġmís gaċ dán
As aḃrán caoin caoṁ-ṁ'lis ar n-gaisge

Is cian dóiḃ faoi neultaiḃ 'sis fada é

Aċt cruinniġmís an ceol-cuid tá fós

O! cuirimís le ċéile
Ċum gaċ aḃrán as dán
Ár sinnsir in Éirinn
Do ḃailiuġaḋ roiṁ bás.
