The Aberdare Leader

0 BOB PARTH. ¡ GAN PARTHSYLLYDD. I Pan oedd golygydd y "Darian" yn auerch Cymrodorion Aberdar ar Dwm o'r Nant dywedodd ei fod yn fardd y werin. Gwir, \r ctdd bardd y Nant yn fardd y werin mewn ystyr arbennig. Cyrhaedda jC'eiriog, Myn- yddog, ac Eifion Wy y werin ddar-I llengar, ond yr oedd Twm yn ffafryn gyda'r bobl anilythyrenog ac annysgedig. Nid darllen ei inter- liwdiau a wnaent ond gwrando ar- nynt yn cael eu hactio. Cyrhaedda gwirionedd y galon ddiddysg ym gvnt trwy borth y clyw na thrwy borth y ilygad pan fyddo y liythyren oer yn borthor. I Fel y dywedwyd yn yr anercliiad crybwylWig yr cndd dromaydd y Nant yn lied hoff o bersonoii petliau dans- Cawn ef yn nn o'i weitiuau yn personoli Tlodi, yr hon a draetha ar ei grvm a'l dy Ian wad a draetha ar ei grym a'i dyianwad a "phob tyladacth rhag tviodi." I Y gof a'r Raor ar gyfer eydd A thylwyth crydd a theunvr." A gwyr yr hoitiau a'u gwarau atti Yn gyru'n llidiog rhag tylodi." Yna sonir am y "clochyddion, doc- tors yii cyd-actio," ac am y miJwyr, A'r swyddogion eydd i'w rhegi, Rwygant wledydd rhag tylodi." Hyd "11 oed yn ein dyddiau ni cawn swyddogion milwrol yn rhwygo gwledydd a theulnoedd fel mater o fywioliaeth. le "helyut lidiog rhag tylodi" yw hi o hyd. Un o chwaronon goreu y gwr o Lansannan ydyw yr hon yn mh;), un y darlunia Arthur gybydd yn cael ei gymeryd yn glaf ac yn nrych eydwybod yn gweled camweddau ei fywyd, gan dori allnn fel hyn Dacw ddefaid a ddygais, mi wn dros ddeugain, Yn rhedeg dros y llethr, a dacw'r pec a'r llathen, A'r hen geirch budr yn ngwaelod y sach, A'r pwysau bitch aflawen." Ar hyn wele Madam Duwioldeb yn ymddangos ac Anhur gybvdd yn ei hanerch yn ymbiliol, "0 Ddmviol- deb, wyneb anwyl!" Yna wele y cybydd cas yn troi dalen newydd, yn byw yn ddefosiynol ac yn cael pobl grefyddci i'w dy i weadio ac i ganu inawl. Modd bynnag mewn ainser cawn Arthur yn dychwelyd i'w hen ffyrdd ac yn caledu ei galon megys Pharao. Grwgnacha am fod yr ymwelwjuj crefyddol wedi bwyta ( vmaint ac wedi cadw cyrnaiut o flwrw yn ei dy. "Llawer brafiach clyvved lloiau'n, brefu, A mwyneiddiach i mi yw nyddu." Cyn hir wele ymwelydd arall yn dod ar y llwyfan a.c yn dweyd wrth Arthur, "Come on, old man, you are to be dead." "Dwyf fi fawr o Sais, beth ddywed o, Nèdr" gofyna Arthur i'w was. Cred mai beili yw y gwr. Ceniydd yn fuan nlal Angeu ydyw, ac nid gwiw iddo ym- bi! y tro hwn. Rhaid myned gyda'r ymwelydd dieithr megys "cyfoedion cofadwy" Ceiriog. "Yn rhyfedd iawn, y dyn mwya. parchue gan bawh sy'n byw yn yr un hew! a fi yw un oedd yn wrthwyneh- ydd cydwybodol, ac a fu mewn ear- tharau am fivnyddoedd. Y mae hyd y oed y milwyr yn edrych arno fel arwr, Nid oes ynddo na chwerwder na surni tuag at neb. Pan holir ef parthed ei ddioddefiadau, ei atch syml yw—'Rh;ud i bob dyn By gan- ddo argvhoeddiad fod yn barod wynebu heb gwyno y canlvniadau o tyw i fyny a'r argyhooddiad hwnnw, hyd yn oed er i hynny clygu angeu, fel y mae wedi golygu eisoes 1 lawer o lionom.

TABERNACLE, ABERDARE. On Sunday evening, at Tabernacle (Cong). Church, the Girls' Choir (Miss Alice S. Williams) sang the anthem, "Come unto me." The Rev. T. M. Jeffreys preached from the words in John 20, 1, "When it was yet dark." The text, he ob- served, belonged to Mary Magda- lerH". It rejected her experience and expressed her hone. It was a dark hour in her history, the hour before the dawn. The great test of our life was to he able to wait in the dark and to sing in the dark. This type was illustrated in the heart of Mary. Intellectually we lived among shadows. Life was greatly an advenli,m. We had to depend a great deal on faith. The faith in the dnrk wan the faith that believed in the dawn to come. We found in Mary the Spirit that was in Christ. Those who had gloom in their hearts should derive solace from the fact that the day would soon break and the shadows flee away.

SCRAPS. BY THE SCRIBE. During Xmastide we had increased fare but no decreased fares-l mean railway tares. When iS travelling by rail to become cheaper yud wiien are passengers going to iuue any- thing approaching the nornu.i uegrc-e ol cuiniortr .ot unUl L.C uO, (;In- ment take over the railways per- haps. Well, hurry up, Winston and icl's get done yuu <i about. ihings cannot ue worse then than wnat they are now. Can anyone explain the vagaries of public lighting in AbercUtrer. i'iiursday morn-ng, Dec.as a very dark cloudy inorninf ami all the lamps in tlle ma.n street were; out before sewn.«■ n going LO work had to teei their though the darkness and tue running oi the -cars in a benighted tnorougniafe was attendant with much risk to life and limb. However < n tiie fol- lowing morning, which- was a com- paratively bright one, all the lamps were burning brightly as auxiliaries to the orb of day until it was well nigh noon. We are still in the dark as to this anomaly, and fifty thous- and Aberdarians want to know the reason why. With holidays, as with the miser and'his gold, the more you get the more you want. One would have thought that the Aberdare trades- men had a fairly good holiday dur- ing Xmas week. But no, the Oliver Twist, instinct asserted itself, and on the following Thursday it was down tools—or rather up shutters-for a whole day with many of them. I have been told that many of them wanted a day to count their bless- ings during the newly-expired year. Well to me holidays are reminiscent of and conducive to curses* rather than blessings. Let us go from the shops to the schools. We find that these had been idle for about two months and resumed business on the first Mon- day after Xmas. However, on the following Wednesday—after two days active service-—^there was another stop day. Why? Those people who lovo lengthy periods of rests should be happy when they are dead, for then it is one long holiday for ever and ever. One of the new members of the new Parliament is Major Jack Ed- wards, D.S.O., who represents Aber- avon. He is a native of Llan- jbadarn, near Aberystwyth, but was brought up at Neath. Probably but few Aberdarians have recognised in the gallant Major, D.S.O: and M.P. a former master at the Aberdare County School, one of ths sunniest souls that you could meet in a day's j- march. Major Jack Edwards—unless the asperities of war have dulled his keen native wit, which is not pro- bable—is a humourist of the first water. His addresses at local de- bating societies always sparkled with flashes of wit and humour. He, was the life and soul of all enter-I tainments at the Aberdare County I School. His literary contributions bore the same bright hall-mark. His racy report of a local burleque foot- ball match which appeared in the Leader was what the music hall pos- ter would describe as a rare mirth- provoker. We trust the gallant Major's poli- tical career will be as successful as his academic and military ones. He ought to become a second Labouch- ere. The Coalition Government has had a "happv return." Unhampered by the continued opposition of n strong minority, the new Government ought to be able to do a lot for the country. But after all a powerful! Opposition Party in Parliament serves a good purpose. It stimu- lates the Government to action and saves it from the indolence which is too often the companion of a fixi- ty of Parliamentary tenure. If the tempest of opposition is nr-t nower- fii! to uproot the Parlia-i ment^rv oak it ought to strengthen! its mMs and thereby enhance its! usefulness T,t 1',<; vnne that the p^ er with whie wf have invested tic, victor-j ioes n ill not be and; thct .1", '■on^d"we of the c m it w'H be vrpl'-merited and "f!!>d, • r ion have an r mous; Let UP hone c., thev. ?■ t.hrouerh.

BRONCHIAL CATARRH. Young I rish Lady Cured to Stay Ci.red by Veno's Lightning Cough Cure. Misa V iolet Brady, Messrs. Brady and Co., Chemists, Portglenone, county Antrim, Ireland, writes: For several years I was much troubled with bronchial catarrh, especially during the winter months. I tried several remedies, but with little success. One day I decided to try Veno's, and after taking some I felt so much improved that I con- tinued its use, with the result that it cured me completely. And ap- parently I nm cured to stay cured, as it is now four years since I had nn attack."

CWMDARE NOTES. BY RAFFLES. The young lady had been four months in London. She eame home on a visit a full-blown Cockney. When her fatherWould address ner in the language of the homo she would answer hiiii in the London lingo. On Sunday she insisted on going to an English place of worship, in another four months she will be too proud to own the place or the people that gave her birth. A Cwmdare diindy took a trousers to his tailor in town to he reseated, but the tailor demanded that the bill for the trousers be receipted first. Christmas comes but once a year. Good job too for Popcorn, for he has not worked since last Christmas.
