PREFACE
This, the fourth and final part of CAinnc riA nD-Aome
is, perhaps, the most useful of the series. Like the
other paits it contains a useful vocabulary not only for
learners but for speakers of Irish. flu native Irish
speaker who lives on the sea-board can enrich his
vocabulary with numerous words relating to the life
of the inland while the native speaker living far away
from the sea can increase his stock of words and
phrases relating to fishing, lx)ating, and the life of
the maritime districts. To tli< ItMin- ish,
this vocabulary, set in the phra living Irish
speech, is invaluabl includes the names of fishes,
plants, trees, birds, animals, as well as technical terms
relating to farming, fishing, and recreations. The book
concludes with a dialogue on the Irish Language itself.

How rough the sea is to-jday,
John, I dare say we are
near a storm ; the sea is
dreadfully choppy.
Hqw til© spray is dashedover the rocks ; what acrest of foam on the
waves !
How beautiful the whitehorses (or Neptune'sliorses as they used to br
called long ago).
See, there is a beautiful shipat the horizon.
I can't see it.
Sarah, girl, bring me thetelescope.
Now I see her ; she is a beau-tiful steamer. Sh»- '

And look at the cockles, the

How plentiful the cockles
are ; we must pick somefor they are splendid food.
There are numbers of pretty

He has a good farm of land
and fine stock ; wouldyou like to come and chat
with him ; John and my-self are very friendly ; wecan take the short cut
through the field ?
His crops are in perfect con-
dition ; it is a long timesince I saw the crops so
green at this time of the
year.
I suppose some of the stalks
were burnt by the frost at
the end of Spring ?
They were, but though theywere, burnt they didn't
suffer much harm, andI don't see any sign of the
blight on them.
How many acres of land hashe?
Up to a hundred acres of fine
rich land, and there is
some of it under bog, andI promi.se you he lias nolack of fuel from one endof the year to another.

And why isn't flax sownmore frequently ?
Because a great deal of

Don't you see that they aredigging and grubbing.

Quite true ; they havereaping, binding andthreshing machines ; theyare not depending onthe scythe now to cutdown the corn as theydid long ago, and it is along time since I sawanyone handling a flail.
Look, the women are work-ing after the reapers in
that field south ; they. are gleaning, and I as-
sure you it is not verynice work to be gather-
ing ears in the stubble
field considering howsharp the stubbles are.
I dare say they will be soonthreshing the corn in
that farm.
I hope there won't l)e drink-
ing at the threshing as
there used to be.
There is an end of that badhabit, thank God. Thethreshers and winnowersare quit^ satisfied witli
the ordinary food
I dare say they make someuse of the chaff that is
got out of the corn ?
Certainly.
M.uiy .1 poor family thathas no Ixitter bed than alittle chuff.

Yes, indeed, and I had thegood luck to hear her in

Some of them are moulting,but they will soon besinging again.

I have not a fishing rod norline, but perliaps youwould lend them. I brokethe wheel ot the fishing
rod yesterday.
You don't require any rod.
I have a strong fishing
line for you and a goodstrong folding frame andlead. We shall have suf-
ficient bait also ; I wasdigging it in the sandearly this morning.
What kind of bait do youuse ?
The sand-worm is better
than any other bait, for
it is tough. I use cockles
and sprats, occasionally,
but tbey are too soft, andthe fishes carry them off
with them. They are
easily broken on thehook.
I was told that there is
a fine shoal of fish on the
northern side of the sandbank. We shall go outthe harbour presently,
and we shall catch a goodquantity, please God.We ought to take thegaff with us, for the fish
is sometimes very heavyflirre.
I li.ire say you seldom fish
in the river.
1 was fishing in it recently
lor a considerable time,

is a nice sandy cove to

I regret that I cannot swim,but I suppose I can gobathing if the water is

How nice the whitewashedhouses north of the beachlook—the houses that
are nicely situated facing
the sun on the hilside.
I wonder whose is the
lovely house at the bendof the road with thefine fuchsia hedge in
front of it ?
I think that is Jerry MichaelLarry's house. He is awonderful man. He neverceases working and put-
ting things in order
;
and, as a result, he has abeautiful place and con-siderable means. It
would be well if all
farmers were as diligent
as he is.
I don't think I ever saw thefuchsia or privet so abun-dant anywhere as theyare here. What beauti-
ful hedges !

In all probability we shall
have good sport to-day,
for hurling is the finest
game that can be seen.
We can go the pathway be-
side the wood ; it is a
great short cut.
It is time for us to be go-
ing, for the match will
soon begin. The peopleare gathering quicklyalready.
I hope there will be no dis-
turbance or quarrollin?
between them.
There is not the least fear of
that, for there is nolonger any drinking.
It is a long time since I sawany one intoxicated in
the parish.
Such was not ilu- case
twenty years or even ten
years ago.

See the tall man and the

other with the ball be-
tween themThe foxey lad is trying to
knock him down, but I
don't think he can bring
that giant down.
But neither can he bring
down the brawny fellow,
who is so firm on his feet,
although he gave him ahip and shoulder.
I wonder is that fair ?
1 think so.
Have you seen the foul that
man yonder did to the
man who was pucking the
ball ? He tripped him,
and that is by no meanslawful ; it was a low meanact.
See, Johnny, the goal-
keeper allowed the ball
to pass him, and 'twas
badly done by him.
The Kock team has got agoal.
'Twill soon be half-time nowand they will be changingsides, and it is a goodthing for the boys of the
Cross, for they will havethe wind with them.

The high plant to the inside

ít is not very diliicult
to solve that question.
You know how the Irish
language was forbiddenand how it was trampledunder foot. In consequ-ence of that the peopleof Ireland had to give upthe speaking of Irish totheir children. Accord-ing as the language wasdisappearing, the know-ledge of the plants andthe cures they containedwas also gradually dis-
appearing until it wasalmost altogether lost.
It is only an odd in-
dividual here and there
who knows anything nowabout herbs.
The older people could notpossibly impart thatknowledge to the youngin English, for they them-selves did not know the
names in English.

Not oiily do the boys andgirls who belong to the
Hall stage dramas, butthey also have operatic
performances, for wehave a wonH«"-fi!i < horal
society.
There are over sixty singers
in it, and it would be well
worth your while to hearthem. There is great
credit due to the musi-
cian who trained them.
They play many games
—
draughts, chess, billiards,
and cards.
Do you go there often your-
self ?
Yes, certainly, for I like agame of cards now andagain, though I am not
an adept at them. Wehave great fun, and noone loses or wins much,for we play for only a
halfpenny a game.
There is a fine gymnasiumthere also, and every
kind of gymnasium ap-
paratus, horizontal bar,
parallel bars, climbing
ladders, and so on.

the room is very cosy,
and exceedingly nice.
There arc special roomsfor the girls, in whichgood and useful work is
being done. They learn
needlework, knitting andcooking from splendid

I am delighted to come to

The Irish Langaage.
I am told the Irish also is
being taught in the Hall.
I trust you arc suc-
ceeding.
iiie students who are in
earnest are succeeding,
but those whose hearts
are not in the work are
not succeeding, and theydo not deserve to suc-
ceed.
There are people who im-agine that they ought to
be able to learn Irish
without taking the least
trouble with it, and then,
when they don't succeed,
their excuse is, that the
Irish is too difficult.
That brings to my mind thestory of the cat that wasfishing on the dry strand.

;
they would like to knowit, but they don't like to
cause themselves thesmallest inconvenience in
the world to learn it.
Nevertheless don't ><ju
think the Irish Languagemo\'cment is advancing ?
Are there not a greatmany people everywherethrough the country whoarc able to understand,write, and speak it ?
Such was not the casetwenty years ago.
That is quite true, butthings would be far
better if conversationwere carried on morefrequently than it is.
Wc arc glad to hear thatthe readers and writers
are growing more numer-ous, hut wc should muchprefer the speakers to beincreasing in numbers.
itiM.ij.-. ijie learners feel
shy, and don't like tospeak Irish, seeing howlittle of It they know.

Perhaps so ; but no matterhow little or much of it
they know they ought to
speak it and get ac-
customed to the conver-
sation. As the proverbsays :
" Practice makesperfect."
They will soon acquirefluency of speech and acommand of words, pro-
vided they speak a little
Irish every day.
I am convinced that weshall strive in vain to re-
vive the Irish throughoutthe country unless it betaught in the schools,
and especially in theNational Schools.
1 he school teachers shouldtake the greatest care to
have conversation in theclasses every day ; andalso to teach the chil-

With regard to some of the
Gaelic League branches,
I notice that they havebut very little conver-
sation in the classes.
That is a great mistake.
They should occupy thegreater part of the timewith conversation.
I often hear people say that
the Irish spoken in theprovinces of Ireland is
not the same, and that
a Munster man cannotunderstand 1 man from
Ulster.
Don't mind those people.
It is the same Irisli that
is spoken in all the pro-
vinces, only that there is
a little difference in theaccent and pronuncia-tion I believe there is
greater difference in theEnglish spoken in the
provinces.

The Connacht man thinks
he himself speaks Irish
most accurately and with
the best accent. Accord-ing to an old saying
:
" The Mimster man speaks
with tfood accent, but
not correctly ; the Lein-
ster man Sjseaks coi-
rectly, but has not a goodaccent ; the Ulster manspeaks neither correctly
nor with a good accent ;
the Cormacht man speaks
correctly, and with right
accent."
It must have been a Con-
nacht man that invented
that old saying.
