The Month of Mary.
A bONYf— By Very Rev. John Henry Newman.
<, ■• on are the leaves, and sweet the flowers,
A’"! rich the hues of May;
We nee them in the garden ronnd.
And market panniers gay;
And e'en among our streets, and lanes,
And alleys, we descry,
Ky fitful gleams, the fair sunshine,
j'iie blue, transparent sky.
Chorus.
O, Mother maid, be thou our aid.
Now in the opening year;
Lett sights of earth to sin give birth.
And bring the tempter near.
Green is the grass, but wait awhile,
Twill grow, and then will wither;
The flowerets, brightly, as they smile,
Shall peTish altogether;
The merry sun, you sure would say,
It ne’er could sot in gloom;
But earth’s best joys have all an end,
And sin, a heavy doom.
Chorus.
But, Mother maid, thou dost not fade;
With stars above thy brow,
And the pale moon beneath thy feet.
Forever thx*oned art thou.
Tin green, green grass, the glittering grove,
T!i«- heaven’s majestic dome,
In. y image forth a tenderer bower,
A more refulgent home;
Thc\ tell us of that Paradise
Os everlasting rest,
And that high Tree, all flowers and fruit,
The sweetest, yet the best.
Chorus.
O, Alary, pure and beautiful,
Thou art the Queen of May;
Our garlands wear about thy hair,
And ihey will ne’er decay.

Roscommon. —The weather during the
past week has been fine, almost summer
like—spring work has been actively pro
ceeded with, and already good amends have
been made for the lateness of the start.
Wages have sprung up from Is. to *2s. per
day for a few weeks, and just now an air
of business pervades our fields. There is
an air of independence too abroad—it
has even peached the tillers of the soil
that, the great English statesman, the
leader of the majority of the House of
Commons, has some idea of doing them
justice, and they begin to believe it. .

Louth.- —The sportsmen of Dundalk
and its neighborhood are so very* negli
gent about their own interests as to look
on and permit an obstruction to be made
and remain at Piiilipstown Mill, which
completely prevents the fish from going
up the river all along to Creggnn, in
order to deposit their spawn, and there
by supplying the river with an incalcu
lable amount of fish. The rock at the
mill is an effectual barrier against the
fish proceeding further. The conse
quence is that the laborers now and
again shut down the water gate, when
the river becomes dry, down so far as
Killen, enabling them to take all the
fish in that length of the river, which
becomes dry in a very short space of
time.— Cor. Dundalk Examiner.

Arrival of Commodore Harstene’s Re
mains. — The remains of the late Commo
dore Henry Harfcstene, were debarked yes
terday evening, at five and a half o’clock,
from the French steamship Pereire, and
and conveyed to the residence of General
Halstcd, at Kearney, near Newark, New
Jersey, where they remained until ar
rangements for the funeral were comple
ted. Commodore Hartstene was born in
the year 1812, in South Carolina, He
entered the United States naval service
in 1828, and became passed midshipman
in 1835, his warrant dating from the pre
vious year. Three years afterwards he
was attached to the Wilkes exploring
expedition, but went no further on that
important voyage than Callao. In 1839
lie was promoted to the rank of JLfieute
nant, and performed the service for which
he was so celebrated, the rescue of Dr.
Kane and liis party from the Arctic re
gions. While on this perilous expedi
tion, he left the monument of Sir John
Franklin, on Beechey Island, and took
her Majesty’s steamer Resolute back to
England. When upon this occasion he
was presented to the Queen, lie made
that address which has been considered
a model of its kind. He was subse
quently engaged in taking soundings for
the Atlantic cable.
He was waiting outers for further ser
vice at the outbreak of secession; and,
as a Southern gentleman, felt it his duty
to resign the commission he held of the
United States, and join his fortunes to
the Confederacy, lie was employed in
various special services by the Confeder
ate States Government. In 1863 he was
attacked with paralysis of the right side.
Having suffered two consecutive at
tacks of paralysis, in addition to that al
ready mentioned, it occurred to him about
a year ago, that a trip to Paris might
perhaps benefit his health, and he started
outlie journey in March, 1867. While in
the French capital, however, his health
suffered no improvement, and a fourth
and last paralytic attack caused his death
at the Hotel de Louvre, on the 31st ult.
The body was embalmed in Paris with
all that skill for which French surgeons
arc remarkable, and it is understood that
it wears a moat life-like aspect. The re
mains were taken in charge by General
Ilalsted, a sehool-f«dlow,an 1 valued friend
of the (Imceased. Tin* funeral took place
at Trinitv Church, Newark, Saturdav, on
which occasion the coffin was opened to
give the friends of Commander Hart
stone the opportunity of taking’ a fare
well look at tiie mortal remains of him,
whom in life*, they deeply esteemed.
It is a little extraordinary that there is
not a letter or any other manuscript in
Molierc’s handwriting; all that remains
in handwriting is four or five signatures.
There is not even an authentic portrait of
him.
