Seacht lá in a dhiaidh san fuair a bhean
é. Bhí an t-slaitín draoidheachta in a
ucht aige; thóg sí í & do bhuail é trí h-
uaire léithe. D'eirigh sé annsan as an
táimh-néall in a raibh sé, chuaidh sé go h-
uaigh an Bhulláin Bhric & do léim sé thair¬
ste chum cínn & chum deire trí h-uaire.
Leis sin d'éirigh anios aiste an fear ba

dá m bárr acht bróta páipéir & bainne
reamhair.

A Shaoi Dhil,
Air deireadh an bhliadhain 'tá a¬
nois thart fuair mé cheithre uimhir do'n
GAODHAL do'n mhí deich-mhís 1892, ó
duine mhúinteardha éigin, ná chuir a ainm
chugam leo, acht tá ámhras orm cia h-é.
Táim an-bhuidheach leis, iad do chuir chugh¬
am, agus leaa-sa mar an gceudna, do
mo leitir-se do chlódh-bhualadh, anns an
uimhir céadna.
Le bliadhain nó dhó, fuair mé ó car¬
ad, anois agus arís, uimhir do "An
Gaodhal," agus le taisbeánt duit-se go
bh-fuil meas mór agam air, cuirim chugh¬
at leis an leitir-so, chúig sgillinn, agus
dhá phinghín, airgead Sacsanach, no d'réir
airgead na Stáitibh Aonda, dailleur &

an Gaodhal do cuir chugam air feadh
lliadhna, agus an cuid is bárr, chum
an "post" do dhíol as. Fanaim mo
Shaoi Dhil,
Do Sheirbhíseach Umhail,

LORD THOMAS FITZGERALD.
(From Gael's Melodies).
Air — Ribeard Ruadh, Or, “Green Grows The
Rushes O."
I sing a youth of noble soul —
The toast of faithful classes O,
A man, erstwhile, who took control,
Of warlike Galloglasses O:
And this was Tom. Fitzgerald O —
The son of Lord Fitzgerald O —
His love of clime to th' end of time,
May booming plaudits herald O!
To Ireland's cause his life was lent
Till martyrdom had crowned it O —
Hence fame his name doth represent
With glory’s halo round it O:
And this was Tom. Fitzgerald O
Young, gallant Tom. Fitzgerald O —
His love of clime to th' end of time
May booming plaudits herald O!
His father to the tow'r was sent
On treacherous suspicion O,
And hence the Green Flag upward went
By the fearless son's decision O:
For this was Tom. Fitzgerald O
Young, gallant Tom. Fitzgerald O —
His love of clime to th' end of time
May booming plaudits herald O!
Intent his native Inisfail,
From bondage to deliver O
The Saxon minions of the Pale,
He caused to quail and quiver O:
For this was Tom. Fitzgerald O
Young, gallant Tom. Fitzgerald O,
His love of clime to th' end of time
May booming plaudits herald O!
Eblana — stronghold of the foe —
Through the Liffey passes O,
By a well-concentrated blow
He sought to lay in ashes O:
For this was Tom. Fitzgerald O
Young, gallant Tom. Fitzgerald O,
His love of clime to th' end of time
May booming plaudits herald O!
In London Town he lost his head —
To die for Ireland fated O —
His uncles — five — there likewise bled
By bloody Henry hated O:
For these were all Fitzgerald O
Of the brilliant Clan Fitzgerald O —
Their love of clime to th' end of time
May booming plaudits herald O.
Now that Father O’Growney has had time to
think up Gaelic matters since his appointment to
the Cetlic Chair in Maynooth College, it is hoped
he will pay attention to a much needed want of
Gaelic students, namely, a cheap Irish-English. and
English-Irish dictionary. By a little revision of
Coney’s, the omission of the scriptural references,
and the use of small type, the cost of its reproduc¬
tion would be small, and we think that the College
would gain by it Also, we think the College au¬
thorities should take steps to have the Gaelic Jour¬
nal published weekly. Some such means must be
resorted to to protect the Irish people all over the
world. It is a crying shame to leave our children
exposed to the taunts leveled at them, and they be¬
lieve them to be true because of our apathy.
