Dhen neffer mindt der leaves dots dead:
der grain dots in der bin :
Dhey both off dhem haf had dheir day
und shust vas gathered in.
Und neffer mindt der vater vhen id
vonce goes droo der mill :
lds vork vas done! Dhere’s blendy
more dot vaits ids blace to fill.
Let each von dake dis moral, vrom der
king down to der peasant:
Don'd mindt der vater dot vas past,
budt der vater dot vas bresent.
Mar sin, na bac le na dilleogaibh atá
marbh; an gráinne tá 'sa teach;
Bhí a laethe acu araon, agus cruinnigh¬
eamh iad asteach.
Agus na bac leis an uisge o chuaidh sé
thríd an muilionn cheana;
Bhí a obair deunta, tá go leor eile fan¬
amhuint le na áit a líona.
Beireach gach aon air an fhíre seo, o an
rígh go d-ti an bráthair:
Ná bac leis an t-uisge a d'imthigh, ach an
t-uisge atá 'nar láthair.
Na BUACHAILLIDHE agus na LOSGÁIN.
Bhí sluadh buachall ag imirt air bhruach
linne, agus air fheicsint díobh go leor
Losgáin 'san uisge thoisidear d'a luas¬
gadh le clochaibh. Tar éis go leor de na
créatúir bhochta a mharbhadh, chuir ceann
níos misneamhla ná an chuid eile a chloi¬
gionn os cionn an uisge, agus dubhairt
leo, "Stop-bhur ngreann miothrócaireach,
m' ógánaidhe; cuimhnighidh gur bás dúinne
cad is greann díbhse.

THE BOYS AND THE FROGS.
A troop of Boys were playing at the edge of a pond
when, perceiving a number of Frogs in the water,
they began to pelt at them with stones. They had
already killęd many of the poor creatures, when
one more hardy than the rest putting his head above
the water, said to them; “Stop your cruel sport,
my lads, consider, what is Play to you is Death to
us."
"THE PIOUS WORK OF RIMINI."
Amongst other spiritual advantages to be ob¬
tained from the “Pious Work,” in which Pope
Leo XIII. takes special interest. There are five
Masses celebrated daily for the intentions of the
members, with Rosaries and Benediction of the
Blessed Sacrament in perpetuity. By request of
one of the Brooklyn members, Mr. David O'¬
Keeffe has translated the prayer, to be said daily,
by members of the “Pious Work,” into Gaelic,
which we now publish, with a translation. The
Devotion has been fully explained by Miss Casey,
in the Dublin papers.

THE ASSOCIATES OF THE "PIOUS WORK,” ESTAB¬
LISHED AT RIMINI, SAN THE FOLLOWING
PRAYER.
O Oueen of the Holy Rosary; in the name of
the glorious triumphs, which through all time at¬
ended the recital of your Rosary, and the infinite
miracles which have been worked by its means :
in the name of the solicitude which princes, prel¬
ates and members of religious communities have
shown to sustain and propagate so excellent a de¬
votion, and by the boundless confidence which
Pope Leo has placed in this most potent weapon.
I pray you to grant to the Sovereign Pontiff all
the graces which his heart, full of charity for all,
expects, of you; also to rekindle in the heart of
all Christians, that holy zeal with which, of old'
