NEW TIPPERARY.
[Dublin Nation]
We have many towns in Ireland that can boast a
hoary age,
That can trace their far beginnings to our history's
earliest age.
They saw the proud Milesian, and the Norman in
his mail,
They bore the brunt of Strongbow's spears and
Crowell's iron hail;
They have ancient rolls and charters, they have
memories sad and grand,
But the newest town in Ireland is the glory of the
land.
It has no ruined ramparts, no embattled gates or
walls,
No massive towers, no lofty spires, no lordly
homes or halls:
But the spirit that upraised it is as noble and sub-
lime
As any shown in peace or war through all record-
ed time.
God bless its patriot builders, and the work they
wrought and planned,
For the newest town in Ireland is the pride of all
the land.
May peace and plenty ever within its homes be
found,
May every virtue there abide, and every grace a-
bound ;
And all through Ireland’s future still may its che¬
rished name
With Ireland's race retain its place of honor and
of fame.
We give the toast with joyful hearts, we pledge it
hand in hand,
Success to New Tipperary! ’tis the glory of our
land!

perary in that.

(Father Growney in the TUAM NEWS)
Is truagh gan mé 's mo cheud searc
Air bord dul ag anonn;
Air loing is breágha aig Righ Soirse
Faoi sheol go d-téidhmis ann;
Tá gini buidhe am' phóicín
A's bain do reicneál as,
Go n-ólfainn sláinte Mhairin,
Cúl áluinn, mo chailín deas.
Marach gur gheall tú mé phósadh,
Gheibhfinn árus ó mo mhuintir féin,
Ba a's caoirigh bána,
A's páirc lé n-a g-cur air feur,
A's go m-b'fheárr liom 'seoladh measg
A's na ngamhna 'r fud an lae, [na m bó
A's cead agam a bheith caint
'S ag comhaádh lé stór mo chléibh.
Chaith mé bliadhain a's ráithe
Ag obair snáthaide i gCúige Laighean,
Ní fhacas bean mo chráidhte
Go dtáinic mé go Connachta,
M bidh- ann pobul buaidheartha cráidhte
Gan áireamh air mo mhuintir féin.
'S gur 'san g cill úd tháll tá m' árus,
'S gur geárr go ngabhfad san g-cré.

able, and hence, every Irishman should have a
copy of them. The price of the TUAM NEWS is on-

Mr. J. G. Griffin is doing excellent work in New-
ark and vicinity for the Gaelic cause. Through the
kindness of Rev. Father Cody who is giving the
church hall free, Mr. Griffin will organize a Gaelic
class there on Sunday, May 18th.
Every Irishman who cares for the
social standing of his children will do
all he can to forward the Language
movement. You who have means come
forward and don't be sponging on your
less favored brethren to erect a monu-
ment on which your unborn offspring
shall be elevated to social eminence.
