[A large number of the foregoing subscribers —
well, nearly all said something in relation to the
attack on the GAEL which are not in any sense,
complimentary to the attackers. But as the GAEL
has never been found wanting in defending itself,
we consider that it is far better let the matter
drop. To emphasize their detestation of the ven¬
omous and scandalous actions of the parties refer¬
red to a large number of our N. Y. City subscri¬
bers called to the office in person. We in the
cause of the language, return its friends thanks,
collectively and individually. — Ed.
Nothing will promote the movement for the cul¬
tivation of the rich language better than the or¬
ganization of societies for teaching it. However
small, these societies may lead to large results.
Let, then, the readers of the GAEL, in every
town and city where societies do not already ex¬
ist, form their little societies. There is no read¬
er of the GAEL that cannot collect five or six others.
Let him collect these and get the first Irish book
and put them through it. The first book will cost
only ten cents and we have sent for a supply of
them. These first five or six should be selected
from those who speak the Irish language, because
they could be put through the first book in two
months, and would, thereafter, be competent to
teach others. These could meet once a week, say
every Sunday afternoon Let the friends of the
Gaelic cause do this and we promise the pleas¬
ing results. We hope, then, that we may be in
a position to report the formation of other clubs by
next issue.
No Gaelic scholarship is necessary to the form¬
ation of a society no more than oratory was to the
formation of a Parnell club, so go ahead.

LIFE OF LEO. XIII.
"The Popular American Catholic Magazine" —
the cheapest in the world! One hundred large
pages a month. Two handsome volumes of six hun¬
dred pages each per year. DONAHOE'S MAGAZINE
will commence its tenth year in January, 1888.
The Magazines filled with interesting matter;
Tales, Biography, Episodes, in Irish and Am¬
erican History, Poetry, etc. Many of the bishops
and thousands of the clergy have given it their sup¬
port. It is gotten up, so far as mechanical execu¬
tion is concerned in fine style — good print, paper,
etc. Its grand aim is to afford reading that will ele¬
vate and instrust the present and coming genera¬
tions. Terms :— Two dollars per year, in advance.
One dollar for six months. Any person getting a
new subscriber, and sending us $3, will recieve
two copies to separate addresses. Premium — Every
subscriber on sending money in advance ($2) will
receive an excellent life of our Holy Father the
Pope. Every Catholic should have a life of the
great pontiff. Remittances should be made by
post office order or registered letter. Address,
DONAHOE'S MAGAZINE, Boston, Mass.
He is a cold, callous Irishman who would not
lend his aid in rehabilitating his native language,
we wish we could indicate such man without us¬
ing the adjective Irish, he has no title to it. He is
a curse to the nationality to which he lays claim.
You, readers and supporters of the GAEL, are do¬
ing your part. Through your exertions some four
thousand copies of your journal are scattered broad¬
cast monthly. Though it has not so many subscri¬
bers we consider the distribution of Gaelic litera¬
ture of more importance than to add the cost of the
extra copies to the "make up" of the paper.
The prospect, then, being so bright we hope every
subscriber will help enlarge the list by enrolling
one or more others.
