AN DEO-GHKINE.
A Ghaidheil Mhic Dhlleas, tha t-ainm fein
a’ dearbhadk gu’n tagh thu mar do
mhaighdean-phairt Gaidhlig Nic A1 harm
Tha a’ chailean uasal sin a bhi leat air
cuilm ’ga d’chomharachadh a mach mar
fhlaith cinnich fa leth, cinneach aos-
l&thach, cinneach nasal. B’ise companach
deas a’ Gh^idheil dhlleis gach ceum a thug
e bho thiis a laithean. A bheil esan a’ dol
’ga trdigsinn-sa an diugh ’nuair a bu chbir
dha a dliithachadh ris mar as mb an
cunnart a tha ag iathadh mu ’n cuairt oirre ?
Cha treig mar sin Gbidheal Mac Dlleas,
tha mise an diiil, a mhaighdean dhlleas fbin.
Dllseag—Thogainnse mo ghuth is
chuirinn m’aonta ris na thubhairt mo
dheadh bhrathair Dealas.
Beadrag—Cha tuigear aon fhacal de na
their Nic Albann ged a rachadh i gu cuilm.
Dilseag—Mata iadsan nach tuig i
fbghlumadh iad a teanga! Agus a bheil
thusa a’ dol a bhacadh do Ghreugais Nic
Helas is a leithidean eile a dhol ann a chionn
nach tuig thu fein i ?
Beadrag—O, is e classic a tha an Greugais
Nic
(G&idheal Mac Dlleas ag birigh.)
Gaidheal—Tha mi an ioma-theagamh is
fo throm chiiram ciod a bu chbir dhomh a
dheanamh. Na’m faodainn dk mhaighdean-
phairt a thoirt learn cha bhithinn ’na leithid
de chks: cha bhithinn an cks idir, ach a
h-aon a mhitin, O, gu’m fbireadh an rath
fbin orm!
Gabhaibh an ulla rium a chkirdean gus an
dean mi suas m’lnntinn. Aon air bith a
tha a’ fkgail an t-se6mair na rachadh e fada
air falbh, ach na fagadh Gaidhlig Nic Albann
no Beurla Nic Gaill mo Ikthair an ceart
uair.
Dllseag (Gu beag ri a companaich fbin)—
Tha am Ereasdal fdin ’gar sebladh is a’
deanamh na slighe rbidh dhuinn. Falbh-
aidh sinn a mach.
(Falbhaidh iad. Mar an ceudna fkgaidh
an cbrr de’n chuideachd an sebmar ach
Gkidhlig Nic Albann is Beurla Nic Gaill a
mhkin.)
Gkidheal (Le a Ikmh fo a leth-cheann is e
fo sprochd)—Am Fortan fbin a bhi ’gam
shebladh, is a’ comharachadh a mach mo
dhleasdanais dhomh a nis!
(Cluinnear an sin mar gu’m biodh cebl is
seinn bhinn a’ tighinn bho thaobh a mach
an t-sebmair. Tha an fhuaim a’ cinntinn
an neart is mu dheireadh le ard-chaithream
tha Dilseag a’ tighinn a steach is a compan¬
aich uile gu Ibir air a skil is iad a’ seinn an
brain “Suas leis a’ Ghaidhlig” le dealas is
dian-thogar.)
(Mar a tha an t-bran a’ dol air aghaidh
bho rann gu rann tha Gaidheal a’ togail a
ghnuis an aird—tha e ag eirigh ’na
sheasamh le fiamh gaire—tha e a’ teannadh
an taobh a tha Gaidhlig Nic Albann ’na
suidhe le ceumaibh socrach, staiteil—tha e
’ga gabhail na ghlacaibh is ’ga pbgadh. Tha
Beurla Nic Gaill ag birigh a mach le ruais.
Tha an cbmhlan uile gu leir a’ tighinn a
steach.)
Gaidheal (A’ togail a ghuth an aird)—A
chkirdean is a luchd-diithcha, tha mi air
m’lnntinn a shocrachadh a thaobh na cuise
so. Is i Gkidhlig Nic Albann a tha ri
falbh learn gu cuilm nan cinneach, gu-Cuilm
nam Flath, mar mo mhaighdean-phairt.
Dealas—Criinaidh sinn i eadhon mu’m
falbh i idir mar shamhla air a’ chrim bir a
thbid air a ceann latha cuilme nam flath.
Dllseag—An crun a dh’fhigh mo Ikmhan
fein air cheann a’ ghnothaich. (Thig i am
fagus le rbs-choron k blkth-lios na luchairt.
Cuiridh i an coron air eeann Gkidhlig.)
C’uime nach cuireadh Dllseag air do cheann
e.
(Seinnidh an cbmhlan uile, is eadhon
Beurla Nic Gaill a nis ’nam measg, pbisd an
brain “Suas leis a’ Ghkidhlig.’’
Leigear a nuas am brat.

THE HIGHLAND DRESS.
There is to be published shortly, from the
press of the late Mr. Eneas MacKay, Stirling,
a book on The Highland Dress, by Mr. J. G.
MacKay, Portree. This book deals with the
authenticity of the kilt from the earliest
times. Clan tartans are shown to be an
ingenious system of Clan Heraldry, based on
kinship, illustrated by coloured plates of
tartans, armorial bearings, and portraits.
There is a chapter on Highland armour,
Clan banners, war cries, Clan tunes, etc. The
issue is awaited with interest, on account of
Mr. MacKay’s undoubted knowledge of the
subjects dealt with.
