Heno wele'r Ffrwd yn gynnes Yn croesawu mab ei mynwes; Mab a fagodd yn ei hannedd, Mab a ddringodd i anrhydedd. Croesaw ro'wn i'w briod hawddgar, Tra'n ymwel'd ag Aberpennar; Croesaw gwych na fyth anghofia, AVedi cefnu ar hen Walia. Gadael wnaeth hen wlad ei dadau, I lafurio hwnt i'w glannau; Ond, fe bery byth yn Gymro, Tra ft'r ddaear yn ei chylchdro.

Tybed nad yw'n bryd i wyr y wasg ym bwyllo ?" —Y Darian. Mab y diweddar Mr. Tom Ellis, A.S., ydyw Mr T. lorwerth Ellis, yr hwn sydd wedi derbyn urdd ofydd yn arholiad Gorsedd yr Eisteddfod Genedlaethol. Ap Cynlas yw ei ffugenw. Mewn rhai parthau o Gyniru y 111 ae agwedd pobl tuag at y Sabbath fel yn myned' dan gyfnewidiad.

A oes math o "cycle" yn ckwyldroadau moes a chrefydd? Gwelwn fod Cynog, y drylliwr delwau, wedi bod wrthi yn lied lym ar rai o bechodau anwyl a phechaduriaid atgas Cwm Aberdar. Pwniwr didrugaredd yctyw y gwr o Heolyfelin pan el atti. Y mae min ar ei eirf a min ar ei ymadrodd caled, a phwy a ddichon wrando yw lli. Mewn mater o awch a grym nid yw bvvyell loan iedyddiwr na bwyell Cad- ,wgan yn ddim o'ucydmaru ag art Cynog. Ofnwn er hyny ei fod yn ynigynnyg am ormod o lanast pan el atti. Buasai yn well iddo ymosod ar un o'n peckodau parod a gwneyd ei oreu i gael hwnw i lav.r yn kytrach na lladd a llabyudio pawb a phobpeth yn ddiwarafun ac yn udiarbed. Dywed nad yw y mil wyr dyckweledig yn hoffi y moddiou crefyddol—mown gwirlonedd eu bod yu hollol ddifdter parthed ordinhadau crefydd. Wei nid yw y rhai a ddaetkaat yn ol o'i- gad agos cynddrwg ag yr arweiniasid ni i gredu y buase.E, Llawer o son a fu y buasai y bechgyn o'r trenches pan ddeaent yn ol yn troi yr eglwysi wyneb i waered, a'r saint yn gorfod ffoi am nodded rhag apostolion rhyw grefydd newydd a dy- iasai yn awyrgylch yr alanas ac ym nghlyw tine eirf y gad. Ond nid oes y lath chwyldroad wedi bod hyd yn kyn. Mae y rhan fwyaf o'r bechgyn a ddaeth- ant yn ol yn setlo i lawr yn dawel fyrddau gras yn yr hen addoldai ac yn canu gyda hwyl, "Braint, braint yw cael cymdeithas gyda'r saint." < Efallai tod ambell un o honynt yn son am yr institutional ckurck" fel peth dymunol ac un arall yn lied barod i siarad am wasanaetli yr Y.M.C.A., ac i awgrymu y dylid lefeinio yr eglwysi a pheth o ysbryd y cyfryw. Ond nid res hyd yn hyn, beth bynnag, fawr 0 chwyl- droad yn y gwynt. Na nid wyf yn meddwl y rhaid i'n cyfaili Cynog ofni llawer oddiwrth y milwyr na'r morwyr a ddaethant yn ol o'r heldrin.

Un gan lied lem o'i eiddo yw "Yr hen fran wen." Fflangella yn ddiarbed "yr hen fran wen sy'n cario chwedlau." Wele un pennill o honi:- I Ti lwydaist lawer menyw 4ln,- Ti ro'ist ardaloedd fil ar dAu; Peraist i frodyr wisgo gwg, Ac oeraist serch a'th chwedlau drwg, Nid oes un wlad nac eglwys shwaith Heb gael eu blino gan dy waith; Mewn pob rhyw ddrwg 'rwyt ti yn ben, Yr hen fran wen, yr hen fran wen.

SCRAPS.
SCRAPS. BY THE SCRIBE. Says the Western Mail "Day by Day" L p at Chester the man" 110 fails to raise his hat when a funeral is passing becomes liable by an old law to be haled before a, magistrate and sent to prison." Apropos of this, .t is a remarkable fact that many people who will not pay the ordinary courtesies to the living, will give a most respectable salute to a corpse- It is stated that Mr. Nat Gould, the famous writer of sporting fiction, who died the other day had over 6 million readers. Now a statement like that tends to make The Scribe green with envy. A striking instance of "alliterations artful aid" may be seen in a report of the Neath uproar—a rumpus of the kind we have had in Aberdare lately more than once. It is headed "Free fights in a fair field." That is quite as good as Pink pills for pale people." It is interesting, if not always flatter- ing, to see ourselves as others see us. 1 am sure that the Welsk miner will smile when he reads the following description of kimself in the" Shoe Trades Jour- ii.it Public opinion has been against the Welsh miner all along, and especially so because so many ran to earth, or in other words went into the mines, to avoid conscription, earning several pounds per week while Tommy -was shedding his life's blood at Is. 2d. per day. Heroes they! Who is the Welsh miner that so much grandmother- ly care should be bestowed upon him, and what is his natioi.ality ? He is not Welsh. He is a mongrel mixture of the yellow nigger, the Spaniard, and here and there a bit of Welsh or some other ■nixed race thrown in. The WeLh miner is as much Welsh as the Lanark- shire miners are all Scotch. Thev ale or were mainly Swedes, Poles, Norweg- ians, and Italians." One newspaper says that His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales has been conversing with Mr. Town" Jones. Is it an abbreviation for" Towyn"?- Recently Harrington Hall, Lincoln- shire, the reputed original of the 1101110 of Tennyson's "Maud," a late Jacobean house with about 300 acres, was sold. and now another property with a Tennyson interest is in the market. This is the Aswardby Hall estate, one of rather less extent, which is intersected by the brook that flows past "Phillip's farm." The Poet Laureate wrote that it had" here and there a lusty trout, and here and there a grayling," and to-day the stream agords excellent fishing The running refrain of that babbling bubbling brook, immortalised by the greatest poet of tke Victorian era. will now probably be:- "Landlords may come and landlords may go But I go on for ever." The industrial war which is now rag- ing at home is. in its effects on our econ- omic conditions, similar to the interna- tional conflict the end of which we have just been celebrating. Even now the margarine and bacon and sugar arp. deteriorating in quality while many other commodities are diminishing in quantity. Then the coal and shoe leather are going up, and we have now an official announcement that there will be fewer trains owing to the coal strikes. Then on top of all this comes the threat of another paper shortage. Peace indeed! We are still living under the direst of war conditions. No wonder Peace Day fell flat at Aber- dare when it was sandwiched between t such formidable and historic battles a he Market Hall. Says the Western :Mail: a Accordmg to the Central News, the following are the possible places in which the trial of the ex-Kaiser may take place:—Dover, inchester, Oxford, Exeter, Edinburgh, Scapa Flow, Heligoland. There is no mention of Caruitr." Surely this is a very nasty blow to the ambitious young men of Cardiff who not only consider their beloved city the cap- ital of Wales but also declare it to ue the hub of the universe. The followng paragraph appeared in the Cardiff Times for July 24th, 1869: — Cardiff Coals.—In reference to the statement of Mr. Mundella, M.P., that during the last two years the price of steam coal at Cardiff was 10s. per ton, a correspondent xA- tes -Alr.Ntunde.lia could only- have referred to the cheaper and inferior sorts, and not to the best or Aberdare upper four-foot coal, the price of which was considerably higher. During the period named, the Naviga- t ion was being sold at 13s., and some- times more, per ton. Aberdare had a good name fo1' coal I even then. But fancy the best coal be- ing sold at 13s. per ton. It makes one feel sorry that lie was not born halt a century earlier—or not born at all. Says the "Western -Nlii ]"At -Old TTQ fhui'ch, near Philadelphia, U.S.A., which was originally built by the Welsh settlers, for a great many years episcopal services were conduced entirely in YVelsk. Longfellow7 is said to kave written an ode to tke old St. David's, but a Hills correspondent has so far failed to find it included in any English published collection of the poet's works. Near Morriston, which is the seat of Montgomery county, lie the re- mains of the great general, "Mad" An- thony Wayne, u ho was of Welsh lineage and language. He was a member of the u ayne family, established for centuries in the Aberdare Valley, who were amongst the earliest exporters of coal from that district, and started the first ironworks in the Gadlys, a part of which was afterwards converted into a tin- works. Vi itkin a few miles of the fam- ous Welsh-American general's bunal- place is Valley Forge, the headquarters of Washington's troops, where he -,ti(I his faithful barefooted soldiers suffered terrible agonies in the severe winters of 1777 and 1778. Years ago, too, here were several ironmills in the neighbour- hood, where many Welshmen found em- ployment, but the trusts have 1011" since absorbed them. ° H Near Morriston, which is the seat of Montgomery county" would appear a queer geographical jumble if applied to those peaces in tljf old country, but it must be remembered that the New World has also its Treforris and Tre- faldwyn. A correspondent in the Western Mail writes:—"In regard to the Swansea bye- election it must be noted that the I i-ish vote, a considerable one. was cast solidly for the defeated candidate. It is a cur- ious fact that the Irishmen in Wales are now voting for the extremist candidates at all elections. This was notably the case at Merthyr and Aberdare and in Cardiff. As the Irish voters are practic- ally all Roman Catholics it is difficult to account for their inconsistency, seeing that the I.L.P. and Bolshevism are anti- religious." But with ultra-patriotic Irishmen it is Irish politics first and theological creeds afterwards. While recognising the spir- itual authority of the Pope they have be- fore now vehemently resented his inter- vention in temporal—at any rate pol- itical matters. The prophet of old said of the rignt- eous, "Bread shall be given him, his waters shall be sure." So the Scribe concludes that the people of Aberdaie are not up to the standard of righteous- ness, for there has been a further cur- tailment of their water supply, and now we hear a rumour that the price, and possibly the quality of the daily loaf is to be tampered with by a meddling Gov- ernment. But is it right that the law should be allowed to over-ride the pro- phets in this way?
