he place of thy pride, from the mast's topmost height, Thou art bathing thy folds in the sky's azure light; The winds are at play 'midst thy red-flowing bars, And the sunbeams repose on thy circlet of stars. With the sunshine around thee — the blue heaven above, 'Midst things that are telling of freedom and love, But where tempests in clouds and in darkness career, Where the chain and the fetter with clanging resound, Where the slave-curse hath blasted the fruits of the ground,-- 'Tis there, and there only, thy waving should be; How com'st thou to darken the Isles of the Free? Herald of ruin, and banner of doom!-- For the day of thy triumph may finish in gloom, And thou from the place of thy pride may'st be reft, And in blood and in ashes thy trail may be left. Ensign of tyranny! emblem of woe! Type to the nations of honor's overthrow! Standard of Mammon, and Might leagued with Wrong-- Down from our sight!--thou hast mocked us too long! April 18, 1861. --Waterford (Ireland) Mail

Meagher, Thomas Francis 1823- Military officer; born in Waterford, Ireland, Aug. 3, 1823; was educated in Ireland and in England. In 1846 he became one of the leaders of the Young Ireland party. He was already distinguished for his oratory, and was sent to France to congratulate the French Republic in 1848. On his return he was arrested on a charge of sedition and held to bail. Afterwards charged with treason, he was again arrested, tried, found guilty, and sentenced to death. That sentence was commuted to banishment for life to Van Diemen's Land, from which he escaped, and landed in New York in 1852. Lecturing with success for a while, he studied law, entered upon its practice, and in 1856 edited the Irish news. When the Civil War broke out he raised a company in the 69th New York Volunteers, and, as major of the regiment, fought bravely at Bull Run. Early in 1862 he was promoted brigadiergeneral of volunteers, and served in the Army of the Potomac in the campaign agains

of the immense period during which the cutting tools were formed of this metal. Bronze was always cast, and it seems wonderful that no one thought of casting it with an eye. Natural holes in stones were utilized for eyes; two flint hatchets in the museum of Copenhagen are examples. The early history of our race is written in the tools of stone, bone, and bronze. A few leaves from the chapters to be found in all our museums are transferred to these pages. a is a copper celt from Waterford, Ireland, resembling in shape the earlier stone tools, such as axes, adzes, chisels, hoes, for the chase, war, carpentry, and agriculture. b is a winged celt from Ireland, c a socketed celt from the same country. d e f show the modes in which the celts a b c were stocked.

dence before Hon. E. G. Stanley. In the southern and middle counties, almost entirely inhabited by the Catholic peasantry, everything they possess is subject to the tithe: the cow is seized in the hovel, the potato in the barrel, the coat even on the poor man's back. Speech of T. Reynolds, Esq., at an anti-tithe meeting. The revenues of five of the dignitaries of the Irish Church Establishment are as follows: the Primacy £ 140,000; Derry £ 120,000; Kilmore £ 100,000; Clogher £ 100,000; Waterford £ 70,000. Compare these enormous sums with that paid by Scotland for the maintenance of the Church, namely: £ 270,000. Yet that Church has 2,000,000 souls under its care, while that of Ireland has not above 500,000. Nor are these princely livings expended in Ireland by their possessors. The bishoprics of Cloyne and Meath have been long held by absentees,—by men who know no more of their flocks than the non-resident owner of a West India plantation did of the miserable negroes, the fruit
