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. The Oratory, 1850, IRISH NEWS.

[Newry Examiner. 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.

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.
