:i SHAMEOOKS FEOif ICELAND. I'S -7 Sweet Bister, oh, sweet sister! send, oh, send across the aoa, For the coming Patrick's morning, send some shamrocks giseen to me, How I'll prize them from thee, sister, God alone can ever know, For I love them, oh, I love them, and the land in which they grow. Yes, old Erin's faithful daughter, wheresoe'er thy exiles stray, Whether in the ice-bound Arctic, vvhere's but one night and day, Or beside the i?ates of morning, or where day light sinks to rest. The green shamrock hills of Erin fond are treasured in each breast. And thy name, sweet sainted sister, in the South, North. East and West, Of all Erin's faithful children, is beloved the dearest, best: And thy voice, where'er 'tis echoed, it hut more thy name endears. And the exile, weary hearted, cheers or floats hi? eyes in tears. But tby letter, ah 1 to read it—the sad tale of Erin's! woes— The great suffering of her children and the tyranny of her foes Thy great efforts to redress them in the past arid present years— AU! 'twouli wring from hearts of iron floods of salt and Bcalding tears. And they've threatened thee with murder! Oh, most valiant men and brave Land of warriors and of heroes! Land that. never nursed a slave! What? A proud aud mighty empire, on which never iJCts the »jun, Claims the honor first to threaten murder to a saintly nun! And the cause! Ohi mankind, hear it! Hear, God, in heaven above! That she strove through years of famine to food the hungry of her loved Told the kind aud iist'ning world how the land lords tluug the poor, When they .and no more to plunder, starving, naked, from, their door. And they'll murder thee for telling? By that God that made us all— By the grave of every martyr, from Cork's Cove to Donegal, By our hopes aud by our sorrows, if they lay a hand on thee, All the world cannot save them from being swept into the sea. For, though Ireland is down-trodden, robbed and starved and begging there, And her tyrants fast have bound her—even taxed the very air Though her sons are broken-hearted, are nigh driven to despair, To avenge thee, uoble Hlater, there's an Ireland everywhere. And you say, dear loving sister—glorious news for all and me, Who were driven, broken-hoarted, from their country o'er the sea. And who are longing, longing, longing, that blight land again to see Though they've raxed the periwinkles, still the Bhamroolca yet are free. Then, white they're free, oh, send me, for the coming Patrick's Day One bright wreath, and night and morning ever, ever shaJi I pray That you'll rise as bright and happy as the sun yet ever rose On the wings of glorious triumph o:er you mean, unmanly foes. LATEST IRISH NEWS. ANTRIM. St. Patrick's day passed over quietly in Belfast. There was no attempt at demonstration during the day.

ARMAGH. St. Patrick's day was quietly ob served at Lurgan. There was no at tempt in the direction of a public dis play of any kind. The holiday was marked by exceptionally severe wea ther. There was a considerable influx from the rural districts, and the sev eral services in the church were at tended by large congregations. The priests at all the masses of the day counselled their flock to abstain strictly from any outdoor manifesta tions. At Armagh, on the 17th ult., after high mass, Messrs. James McMabon, James Collins and John Dignam, on behalf of the Catholics of the parishes ot Armagh, Keady, Middletown Lower, Creggan, etc., presented the primate with an address, to which his grace made a suitable reply.

Thousands of the paasantry thronged into the town, disporting the triple leaf and other national colors emblematic of the occasion. Sobriety and good humor prevailed. CORK. The anniversary of Ireland's patron saint was celebrated at Skibbereen in a most becoming manner. The de meanor of the people was perfectly quiet, and there was not the slightest signal of marring the peace of the com munity. The influence of the League of the Cross, under the directorship of his lordship the bishop, proved most effective. In Mitchelstown the national festival was observed in a most befitting man ner. At the different masses the church frM** -f, 4 was thronged with devout worshippers. At 12 o:clock mass an eloquent pane gyric on the life of the saint was preached by Rev. Mr. Hutch, president of St. Colman's College. During the afternoon a band paraded the streets, and was accompanied by large crowds. The utmost good order prevailed. DERRY. On St. Patrick day, in Derry, seven Nationalist bands turned out with colors and made a circuit of the city, including the walls. Here they were assailed with stones, and a few bottles were also thrown from back yards. Stones were cast from slings high over head aud fell amongst the crowd. Those following the bands returned the missiles, in some instances with inter est. While the St. Patrick's day proces sion was coming down Bond:s Hill, in Londonderry, a horse which was at tached to a cart took fright and ran into the procession. There was consid erable danger to the processionists for some time, but Constables McLaughlin aud McKenna, who were on duty at the place, at great risk to themselves, caught the horse, and, with the assist ance of some civilians, held it until the procession passed. DONEGAL. At Letterkenny the temperance so ciety turned out on St. Prtrick's day, and with their band and a new banner, superbly mounted, paraded the streets after 12 o'clock mass. The procession, which was very large and orderly, halted opposite the residence of the Most Rev. Dr. Logue. The assem blage was briefly addressed by Mr. Charles Dawson, Dublin. As Mr. Parnell's objections to out door demonstrations did not apply to Buncrana, St. Patrick's day was cele brated in the usual manner. Bunches of shamrocks and knots of green rib bon were conspicuously displayed. At 12 o'clock a procession, headed by the St. Patrick's flute band, was formed at Cockhiil, and paraded the district. DOWN. At Newry, St. Patrick's day was observed with becoming fitness, the ut most good humor prevailing during the entire day.

DUBLIN. Surgeon T. O'Connell Redmond (great grandson of the Liberator) has obtained the degree of Licentiate of the King and Queen's College of Physi cians, and also the degree of Licentiate in Midwifery of the same college at the the public examination lately held. The Messrs. Goodbody, tobacco manufacturers, whose premises at Tul lamore were burnt down recently, throwing a large number of hands out of work, have taken from the Messrs. Pim the fine premises at Harold's Cross, which were for some time used as a distillery. There are numerous cottages for laborers attached to it, and it is admirably suited for carrying on the manufacture with which the name of Goodbody has long been identified. The working classes will rejoice to have such excellent employers carrying on their business in Dublin. KERRY. On March 12, two bailiffs, at the in stance of Mr. C. E. Leary, baronial high constable, effected cattle seizures for county cess. The bailiffs seized a cow belonging to Mrs. Gleeson, of Ballybrack, for the sum ot £3 5s., which was put into the Killarney pound. The bailiffs also seized a cow belonging to Mr. Daniel O'Sullivan, P. L. G., Ballyhor, for the sum of £4 5s., but a large crowd who collected rescued her. Several other farms were visited by the bailiffs, but no animal could be found on the lands. On March 1£, an execution sale of cattle belonging to a farmer, which were seized a fortnight ago for non payment of £63 rent to Mr. John White Leahy, of Killarney, took place at Causeway. The cattle were disposed of for £31, £41 short of the amount for which they were seized. v'~ A large crowd collected, who decorated the cattle with laurels, and drove them home jubilantly. Subsequently an in dignation meeting was held in the vil lage, at which the arbitrary action of the landlord was denounced. KILKENNY. Oh the 17th ult., the Kilkenny Jour nal entered upon its 119th year, and is now with one or two exceptions, the oldest-established paper in Ireland. We take this opportunity of congratu lating our esteemed contemporary. On the 15th ult., two ricks of hay be longing to Mr. O'Hanrahan, of Legets rath were burned. Mr. O'Hanrahan has sworn an information as to the burning being malicious and claiming about £130 as compensation for the loss sustained. KING'S COUNTY. A terrible fire broke out in the to bacco factory of the Messrs. Goodbody at Tollamore last month, and before it could be suppressed the entire valu able premises with all the valuable ma chinery necessary for the carrying out of their extensive trade, as well as a large quantity of tobacco manufac tured and leaf, which had been on hand at the time, were entirely consumed. The fire is supposed to have originated sometime about midnight. Loss, £50, 000 fully insured. At the last meeting of the Birr Union there were present Chairman Biddulph, James Browne, Thomas Sul livan, Joseph Dolan, John Galbraith, Adam Mitchell and George Smith. LONGFORD. The national festival passed off at Longwood with the usual quietness, no demonstration taking place except that of the turn out of the Longford brass band at midnight to herald in the festival. The band was accompanied with torches. Heavy falls of snow, which commenced early the day be fore. continued during the greater part of the forenoon. The election of guardians for Delvin union closed on the 11th ult. There was no opposition to the Nationalists in sixteen electoral divisions of the union. LOUTH. The national festival was celebrated at Dundalk in the usual manner. From a religious point of view the holiday was observed in a very becoming spirit, large congregations attending at the different masses. The number of peo ple in town would not bear comparison with former years, yet there was a goodly gathering, and the triple leaf was very generally worn. The national festival was marked at Drogheda by severe weather. The day was ushered in by a fall of rain, and afterwards, at intervals, snow and sleet descended. There were very few coun try people in town, the elements, no doubt, keeping them at home. The shipping and fine fleet of steamers in the river wore their gayest bunting. MAYO. Owing to the death of John T. Burke, Esq., an election of coroner for the baronies of Carra, Murrisk, and Burrishoole, will be shortly held, and Mr. Patrick J, Kelly, solicitor, of Cas tlebar, intends to offer hiir self as a can didate. Great sympathy is felt in the neigh borhood of Boheia for Mrs. Sheridan, one of the foremost members of the Ladies' Land League, who has been evicted by Sir Charles'Gore. Her pe riod of redemption had only just ex pired when she offered the rents and costs due but, as her holding was wanted as a site for a police barrack, the agent insisted on his legal rights. Her farm has since been grabbed. In the Land Court, Dublin, in the case of the Taaffe estae, County Mayo, Mr. V. B. Dillon, Jr., applied ou behalf of the tenants that the receiver should be directed to accept a year's reut in full for all rent and arrears of rent up to the 1st of November last. MEATH. At a meeting of the Irish National League held in the town hall, Kells, Rev. L. Gaughran, president, in the chair, the following resolution was un animously adopted: "That we con demn as heartless and tyrannical the action of those magnates who are co ercing their laborers and servants to sign an anti-home rule memorial in the hope that they will thereby impose on Mr. Gladstone and his government." At a meeting of the Oldcastle branch of the National League on Sunday, the 14th ult., the following resolution was adopted: "That we emphatically con demn the landlords, the graziers, and the farmers of the Oldcastle union who have shown and are showing an united and determined opposition to the erec tion of laborers' cottages in the union. QUEEN'S. The Aghaboe National League on Sunday, the 14th ult., passed a. resolu tion calling on the Nationalist guar dians of the Abbeyleix and Donagh more unions to oppose the re-election to the chairmanship of their boards of Lores de vesci and Castletown. At Maryborough, on Monday, the 15th ult., two farms of land were put up for sale for non-payment of rent. In both instances it was decided to let the land lie on the landlord's hands. SLIGO. The National festival passed over in Sligo in the usual manner. At mid day the local bands paraded the town. During the day large crowds came into town. In the cathedral a panegyric on the Patron Saint was preached by Bev. J. Malone, C. C., in an eloquent and impressive manner, to a large congre gation. There was a remarkable fall ing off in the time-honored custom of drowning the shamrock. Nothing took place to call for particular notice. TYRONE. The Lord Chancellor has appointed Rowland J. THE, IRISH STANDARD: SATURDAY, APRIL 17 1886. Betty, Esq., Aughnacloy, County Tyrone, to the commission of the peace for that county. WESTMEATH. .The 17th was observed at Athlone in the most magnificent manner and it is not too much to say that never was fete or festival honored or observed with so much display and demonstra tion. The first parade eomenced at 2 o'clock. WICKLOW. At the Baltinglass fair on the 16th ult., there was a large attendance of buyers, but no competition. The sup ply of cattle was good sheep sold fairly. Fat cattle were scarce, but there was a large offering of heifers and lean cattle. The prices were bad. OUR YOUNG FOLKS. GRANDPAPA'S SPEtTACLKS. Grandpapa's spectacles cannot be found He has searched all the rooms, high and low, round and round. Now he calls to the young ones and what does he say? "Twopence for the child that will find them to-day." Then Henry and Nellie and Edward all ran. And a most thorough hunt for the classes be gan: And dear little Nell, in her generous way. Said "I'll hunt for them, grandpa, withont any pay!" All through the big Bible she searched with care, That, lies on the table by grandpapa's chair. They feel in his pockets, they peep in his hat. They puil out the sofa, they shake out the mat Then down on all fours, like two good-natured bears. Go Harry and Ned under tables and chairs Till, quite out of breath, Nedis heard to de clare. He believes those glasses are not anywhere. But Nellie, who, leaning on grandpapa's knee. Was thinking most earnestly where they could be. Looked suddenly up in the kind, faded eyes. And her shining, brown ones grew big with surprise. She clapped coth her hands, all her dimples came out She turned to the boys with a bright, roguish shout— "You may leave off your looking, both Harry and Ned, For there are the glasses on grandpapa's head!" FLOURISH'S FANCY. Baby Florrie was naughty that day. So mamma said, "Baby, run out and play, Bring me some sunshine, dear, if you can." And into the sunshine the baby ran. Golden treasure there she found Dandelions starred the ground. Plucking one with eager hands. Soon b®, mamma Florrie stande. "I touldn't .det the sunsine maybe You'd like to .see the sunsine'e baby?" What Iftotlicrs Say. As the boys grow up, make companions of them: then they will not seek compan ionship elsewhere. Let the children make a noise gome times their happiness is as important as your nervep. Respect their little secrets if they have concealments, worrying them will never make them tell, and patience will prob ably do their work. Allow them, as they grow older, to have opinions of their own: make them individuals and not mere echoes. Remember that without physical health mental attainment is worthless let them lead free, happy lives, which will Strengthen both mind aud body. Bear in mind that you are largely re sponsible for your child's inherited char acter, and have patience with faults and failings. Talk hopefully to your children of life and its possibilities yon have no right to depress them because you have suffered. Teach boys and girls the actual facts of life as soon as they are old enough to un derstand them, and give them the sense of responsibility without saddening them. Find out what their special tastes are and develop them, instead of spending time, money and patience in forcing them, into studies that are repugnant to them. As long as it is possible, kiss them good night after they are in bed they do like it so, and it keeps them very close. If you have lost, a child, remember that for the one that is gone there is no more to do for those remaining, everything hide your grief for their sakes. Impress upon them from early infancy that actions have results, and that they cannot escape consequences even by being sorry when they have acted wrongly. As your daughters grow up, teach them at least, the true merits of housekeeping and cookery they wili thank you for it in later life a great deal more than for ac complishments. Try and sympathize with girlish flights of fancy, even if they seem absurd to you by so doing you will retain your in fluence over your daughters and not teach them to seek sympathy elsewhere. Remember that, although they are all your children, each one has an individual character, and that tastes and qualities vary indefinitely. Cultivate them separately, and not as if you were turning them out by ma chinery. Encourage them to take good walking exercise. Young ladies in this country are rarely good walkers. The can dance all night, but are tired out if they walk a mile. Girls ought to be able to walk as easily as boys. Half the nervous diseases which afliict young ladies would disap pear if the habit of regular exercises were encouraged. Keep up a high standard of principles your children will be your keenest judges in the future. Do be honest with them in small things as well as in great. If you cannot tell them what they wish to know, say so rather than deceive them. Reprove your children for tale-bearing a child taught to carry reports, from the kitchen to the parlor is detestable. Send the youngster to bed early: decide upon the proper time and adhere to it. Remember that visitors praise the chil dren as much to please you as because they deserve it, and that their presence is oftener than not an affliction. A Bright Little Colored Boy. A friend at Norfolk, Va., sends us the appended letter. It was written by a colored boy of ten years, who lives in a white family at Charleston, S. C., and takes care of their little boy, who is nearly six years old. The colored lad is regarded as "'a remarkable prodigy" by those who know him. The letter is legibly written and the capitalization, punctuation and spelling highly creditable. How many white boys of ten years, with better ad vantages than the writer of the following lines can do as well CHARLESTON, S. C., 188-. My dear Friend —I take my pen in hand to write you these few lines, hop ing that they may find you and well, as it leaves me at present. I did expect to work at the brewery, but I did not get the place because I were too small to work in that place. The gentleman said that it required larger boys than I to work there, because the work was too much for me. And how- are all with you. 1 am glad to hear from you—and I am going back to school this month if God so please to spare my life. I hope to hear from you soon. Give my love to I am your obedient servant, My mother send her regard to you, and say she hope you are enjoying good health. Direct your letter to me at No. —, street.

When addressing an elder person speak gently, lower your voiee to a degree of kindness that is unmistakable. Let it be a cardinal rule never to enter society without the assured feeling that you are in the humor to make yourself agreeable. When your prejudices or opinions annoy, pain or embarrass others, it is good breed ing to give way, and so temper manner and language as to remove all embarrass ment. The manner should always be gentle and chivalrous toward women. Acer tain dignity must be preserved, yet a gen tleman must be pliant, frank, confident and manly. If the courtesy of sending you an invi tation to a wedding has been extended do not allow it to go unnoticed. Your card inclosed in an envelope sent by mail Is sufficient Cultivated persons never lose temper in conversation, neither do they give expres sion ordinarily to suprise or astonishment. It is better to appear to give assent than to dispute. Gentlemen should invariably prefix "Mr." to their names on visiting cards. The prefix "Miss" must always be placed an a single lady's card. Not to do so is incorrect and vulgar. The surest signs of high breeding in men are mercifulness, kindness and gen tleness qualities which indicate fineness of structure- in the body and mind, ren dering it capable of the most delicate sympathies.
