SHAMROCKS

You buy a pot 0’ shamrocks—you like them for their green An’ for their pleasant friendliness—but know not what they mean! What can you know of shamrocks, you who feel not the thrill They bring of Shannon's murmurs past flowered field and hill? You buy a pot of shamrocks, and back at them you smile— Ah, could you know and feel that they are part of Erin’s isle! You have not eyes that see things, or you would see the mist That runs across Killamey when morning’s brow is kissed; You have not ears that hear things, or you would hear the song Made of a thousand memories forever sweet an’ strong—’Tis but a pot o’ shamrocks, a whimsy thing you buy, An’ not a bit of Irish sod or breadth of Irish sky! The glint of Irish sunshine makes all that livin’ green, An’ Irish rains kept off the stains an’ gave that jewel-sheen; Would that you understood it! For could you understand, There’d be a bit of tremblin’ each time they touched your hand! Your fingers would be tremblin’, your eyes be dewy-wet. Your heart wotrid beat a measure you never, could forget You buy a pot o’ shamrocks, an’ know not what they mean! You set them on the table to see their cheerin’ green— But should you trample on them they’d rise in grace again, Just as the hopes rise in the hearts of women and of men. Smile friendly at your shamrocks, an* back at you they smile— Ah, could you know an’ feel that they are part of Erin’s isle! WILBUR D. NESBIT. Copyright, 1913.

AMERICA’S DEBT TO IRELAND

i r Immigrants Have Wrought Well in the Wonderful Development of Their Adopted Land. Out of Europe, for more than two centuries there have been flowing streams of humanity, always hastening, like the affluents of some mighty river, toward the west. And for more than one century at least those who earliest found their place in this oncew'elcoming continent have been staring with open or covert contempt at those who have followed them. | Until now, when our national intelligence has broadened beyond the purblind, narrow vision that could see in an immigrant only his ignorance, his poverty and the uncouthness which, in the land he has deserted, may be the best, approved mode of living for people of his class. We are looking at the essentials now —at the brain and the brawn, the health and the courage; at the race, the national history, the adaptiveness —of all this raw material for citizenry. These latest comers are reaping the fruits of the lessons we have learned while seeing their forerunners emerge from the poverty and want that made ; them reproaches in our eyes and, by I their own inherent strength, rise to the i full level of American skill, energy and ' —what has always been their conspi- j cuous trait—patriotism. No single stream that trickled first and then came in flood had to fight its way more hardily here than the immigrants who hailed from Ireland; and if one were to cast everywhere to find immigrants and their descendants who have most potently wrought for

the development of the nation, hewould see none more numerous, morestrong and—final verdict of the land oF their adoption—more respected than those very Irish. The United States, for them, owes England a debt which neither nation may ever acknowledge; but the time is not far away w ; hen England seems fated to realize the enormity of her loss and the vastness of America’s gain.

St. Patrick’s Character.

Like all have had a dominating influence in the sphere of religious thought, St. Patrick had intense zeal and enthusiasm. In his confessions St. Patrick lays no claim to superior learning and ap*: pears throughout as a warm-hearted, devoted, modest man.
