Colofn y Cyrriry. ■ [DAN OTYOIABTH T. D. IsAAc.1 YR IEITHOEDD CELTAIDD. Gan E. E. FOURNIER, Dublin. Darllenwyd y papur isod o flaen Cymdeithas y Cymrodorion a Chymdeithas yr Iaith Gymraeg yn Ffestiniog, 1898:- Mae ysgrifenwyr diweddar yn cydnabod chwech o leithoedd gwahanol fel yn peithjTi i'r gaugen hono o'r teulu Aryaidd o iaith a adna- byddir fel y gangen Geltaidd. Y mae'r chwe' iaith hyn yn eael eu -losbarthu i ddwy adran. Y mae yr adran Ogledû-Orllewinol, Gaelig, neu Wyddelig, ya cynwys ieithoedd brcdorol yr Iwerddon, Uucheldiroedd yr Alban, ac Ynys Mnaw, tra y mae yr adran Gymreig neu Fry. tai.-&idd yn cynwys ieithoedd Cymru, Cemyw, a Llydaw. Y mae un o'r chwe' 'aith byn--y Gernywaeg, wedi marw er's Jros gan mlynedd. Y mae un aralI-y Manawaeg-yn agos a di- flanu; ond y mae y pedair iaith arall yn cael e.1 siarad gan gyfranrif o yn agos i bedair mil- iwn o IJobI, ac nid oes rheswm dros dybied y bydd y cyfanrif hwn wedi ei leihau yn sylweddol am amryw ganrifoedd i ddod. I gael gwybod- aeth fanwl o gyflwr y pum' iaith fyw, y mae'r ffynonellau o fewn cyrhaedd, yn cynwys ad- roddiadau y gwahanol ddirprwywyr, y Cyfrif. iadau yn rhoddi cyfrifon manwl o nifer y rhai sydd yn sirad Cymraeg, y Wyddelaeg, a Gael- aeg yr U oheldiroedd yn siroedd Cymru, yr Iwerddon, a'r Alban, gan wahaniaethu rhwng y bobl sydd yn siarad eu hieithoedd Celtaidd yn unig a'r rhai hyny sydd yn siarad yr iaith Geltaidd a'r Saesneg. Ni wnaed cyfrifiad gyda golwg ar Ynys Manaw, a chyn belled ag yr wyf yn gwybod nid oes yr un cyfrifiad swyddogol wedi ei wneyd gan lywodraeth Ffrainc o'r nifer sydd yn siarad yr iaith Lydawaeg. Yr wyf wedi corffori prif ffeithiau cyfrifiad 1891 yn y barthlen hon. Fe welwch fod cadarnfeydd yr ieithoedd Celtaidd yn yr ynysoedd Prydeining yn siroedd gogleddol Cymru, siroedd Galway a Mayo yn yr Iwerddon a siroedd Sutherland, Ross a Chromerty, Inver- ness ac Argyll yn yr Alban. Yn y siroedd hyn mae dros haner y Bobl yn siarad eu hiaith Geltaidd, y nifer—yn ol y cant-uchaf yn bod yn Nghaernarfon yn Nghymru (pymtheg a phed- war ugain); Sutherland yn yr Alban (pymtheg a thriugain); a Galway yn yr Iwerddon (saith a thriugain). Y mae y manylion llawnaf yn cael eu rhoddi am yr Iwerddon. Yn 1871 nifer y bobl a siamdent y Wyddelaeg ydoedd 817,000. Yn 1881. yr oedd wedi cynyddu i 950,000 er gwaethaf ymfudiad. Yn 1891, yr oedd wedi lleihau eto i 680,000. ond yr oedd y boblogaeth, wrth gwrs, wedi lleihau er y flwyddyn 1871; ac telly y mae genym y canlyniad rhyfedd- canlyniad nad yw yn cael ei syIweddoli yn gyff- redinol—fod y nffer yn ol y cant o siaradwyr y Wyddelaeg, yn mhlith pobl yr Iwerddon bedd- yw, yn ymarferol yr unag ydoedd ugain mlyn- edd yn ol. Yr unig leihad yn nifer y siaraddwyr Gwyddelaeg unieithog. J^d yw ystadegau noeth, wrth gwrs, yn ar- wemydd diogel os oes arnom awydd mesur bywyd iaith. Rhaid i ni hefyd edrych pa fodd y mae yn cael ei defnyddio, a'i chadw, a'i meith- rin, ac y mae yn rhaid i ni addcf ar unwaith fod y lie oyntaf yn mhlitk cenedlaeth Geltaidd gyda golwg ar gadwraeth eu hiaith yn perthyn i Gymru. Yr ydym ni yn yr Iwerddon yn du- eddol i ymffrostio yn ein hen lenyddiaeth hel- aeth, ein cyfundrefn seinebol berffaith. a dydd- ordeb ieithegol uwchraddol ein hiaith Geltaidd ein hunain, ond Cymru sydd yn meddu y teil- yngdod uchaf o fod wedi cadw ei hiaith fel offeryn o wareiddiad diweddar. Y mae y gra- mradegau a'r geiriaduron sydd wrth law yr efryd- ydd Cymreig. y lluaws o newyddiaduron Cytn- reig sydd yn gwasanaethu angen darllenwyr yr oes, ac uwchlaw y cwbi sefydliadau cenedlaeth- ol yr Orsedd a'r Eisteddfod sydd yn dwyn allan gynyrch goreu ac uchaf dalent frodorol. wedi gosod yr iaith Gymreig ar y blaen i'r ieithoedd Celtaidd. Y foment hon, v Gymraeg yn unig all hawlio bod yu iaith genedlaethol wirianeddol wedi gwr- eidrlo yn y ddaear, yn cael ei mynwesu gyda hrwdfrydedd angerddol gan luaws o bobl, ac yn cael ei chynal gan dractdodiad gogoneddus c; svdd yn proffwydo i iaith Cymru dragywyddol fodolaeth (cymeradwyaeth). Gadelch i ni yn awr droi i gael cipolwg ar yr Iwerddon. Yma y cawn y brif iaith Gaelaeg yn cael ei siarad gan 680,000 o bobl, 38,000 o ba rai sydd yn siarad y Wyddelaeg yn unig. Dywed Dr Hyde fod y lluaws mawr o ysgolheigion y Cyfandir sydd wedi ei hefrydu oil yn siarad am dani gydo.'r geiriau uwchaf o ganmoliaeih, ac y mae un Mmynwr wedi dweyd pe buasai wedi parhau i gael ei meithrin i lawr hyd y dyd hwn y buasai —gan mor ystwyth ydyw-wedi profi yn gyd- radd a'r Ellmynaeg ei hun gyda golwg ar angen- ion a galwadau bywyd diweddar. Fel y mae, nid yw yr iaith wedi derbyn hyd yn oed gysgod o chwareu teg, gan nad yw wedi cael ei siamd mewn ilysoedd gwiadol, cadlysoedd, no. choleg- au er haner cyntaf yr ail ganrif ar bymt.heg, hyd yr amser y bu yn cael ei meithrin gyda mwy o ddiwydrwydd na bron unrhyw iaith Ewrope- aidd arall, ac yr oedd yn hollol alluog i ddal ei thir gydag unrhyw iaith yn y byd. Yn ystod y ddeunawfecl ganrif peidiodd a chael ei siarad gan wyddonwyr a dynion o ddysg neu i osod pethau yn eglurach, nid oedd y dyn- ion oedd yn ei siarad yn alluog i gynyrchu gwyddonwyr a dynion o ddysg, gan eu bod trwy gyfraith yn cael eu hamddifadu o addysg. Am fod y pethau hyn felly, nid yw y Wyddelaeg wedi cadw i fyny a'r ganrif a haner ddiweddar, ac nid yw fel ieithoedd ereill, wedi cynyrchu enwau brodorol am dermau gwyddonol, gwleid- yddol, arianol, peirianol, a mesuronol. Nid yw Pei yn rhyfedd fod y gwaith o adfywio yr iaith hon 30'1 chymwyso at fywyd diweddar yn un o an- hawsder mawr. Ac eto, y mae hyn yn cael ei amcanu o ddifrif, ac y mae'r profiad a enillwyd hyd yma yn dangos nad yw y gwaith o gwbl yn ddiobaith. Y mae oddeutu ugain o newyddiadur- on a chofnodolion yn cymeryd i mewn ryddiaeth a barddoniaeth. Dyna'l' "Dyddlyfr Gaelic" misol, a'r flwyddyn hon y mae newyddiadur Gwyddelawg wythnoaol wedi cael ei gychwyn o dan yr enw "Fainne an Lae"-Toriad y dydd. Y mae yr oil o newyddion yr wythnos yn cael sydd yn dal perthynas a'r symudiad ieithyddol <>\1 rhoddi yn y Wyddelaeg oddigerth yr hyn ei hunan, yr hyn sydd yn cael ei roddi gerbron yn fwy priodol yn Saesneg. Yna y mae genym nifer o gymdeithasau megys "Gaelic League," a'r Gymdeithas tuag at Gadwraeth yr Iaith Wyddelaeg, y rhai sydd wedi cyhoeddi llyfrau Gwyddelig elfenol, geirlyfrau, a llyfrau darllen. A dyna y Feis Ceoli, yr Wyl G-erddorol Wydd- elig, yr hon sydd yn rhoddi gwobrau sylweddol am ganeuon yn y Wyddelaeg. Dysgir y Wyddelaeg mewn pymtheg a thri- ugain o ysgolion cenediaethol yn yr Iwerddon, ond y mae y nifer yn Ilawer rhy fycban. Y mae oddeutu pump neu chwech o eiriaduron mewn bod, ond y mae angen mawr geiriadur newydd Saesneg-Wyddelig. Y mae o'r fath yn cael eu parotoi. Y mae rhai gramadegau da wedi eu hysgrifenu gan O'Donovan, Burke, a Joyce, ac yn ddiweddar y mae Irish Texts Society wedi ei chychwyn i gyhoeddi rhai o drysorau ein llenyddiaeth henafol. Y mae yr adfywiad Celtaidd yn yr Iwerddon yn symudiad pur rymus, ac yn dal gobeithion uchel gyda golwg ar y dyfodol. Yn ucheldiroedd yr Alban y mae'r Gaelaeg yn cael ei siarad gan chwarter miliwn o boble, 43,000 o ba rai sydd yn siarad y Gaelaeg yn unig. Er amser Macpherson a'i chwedlau Ossianaidd, y mae y Gaelaeg wedi cael ei meithrin yn ddyfal. Yn ymarferol priod- iaith o'r Wyddelaeg ydyw, ac y mae yn llafurio o dan yr anfantais o fod yn amddifad o lenydd- iaeth eang i'w chefnogi. Y mae ganddi ramadegau a geiriaduron da, a gall gyda rhywfaint o wir hawlio bod yn iaith genedlaethol yr Alban i'r Gogledd o Glawdd Graham. Mewn rhif hon yw y leiaf bwysig o'r pedair prif iaith Geltaidd, ac felly y mae yn y perygl mwyaf o farw; ond y mae ymdrechion egniol Cymdeithas yr TTcheldiroedd yn meddu pob rhagolwg o Iwyddo mewn cadw a Iledaenu yn gysylltiedig a'r hon y mae traddodiadau goreu yr Ucheldiroedd. Yna ymdriniodd Mr Fournier a'r Fanawaeg, yr hon a siaredid gan ddwy neu dair mil o bobl. Yr oedd yn cael ei hymlid o'r tir gan yr ymwel- wyr Seisnig, ac nid oedd yn perthyn iddi len- yddiaeth oddigerth y Beibl, y Llyfr Gweddi, ychydig o ganeuon a charolau, a nifer o weith- iau gwerthfawr ar gerddoriaeth frodorol. Credai fod ergyd farwol wedi ei rhoddi i'r iaith gan ei chyfundrefn o Saesneg. Cyfeiriodd y siarad- ydd yn nesaf at yr iaith Frytanaidd, yr hon, meddai, oedd wedi llygru trwy ganrifoedd o gymdeithasau a thafodiaeth Lladinaidd. Am- cangyfrfid fod milhnl a haner o bobl yn siarad yr iaith, a gwaherddid ei defnyddio yn yr ys- golion. Hyd yn ddiweddar hefyd yr oedd y clerigwyr wedi bod yn wrthwynebol iddi, ond yn awr yr oedd Cymdeithas Cadwraeth yr Iaith yn defnyddio ei dylanwad nerthol i'w chadw. Wrth derfynu, dywedodd Mr Fournier: Felly y mae genym y pum' iaith hyn—pedair o honynt gyda dyfodol mawr ou blaen, a'r oil yn amddi- ffynol rhag ruthriadau tafodiaeth ganolog nerth- ol, ond eto wedi ei harfaethu, fel y credwyf, i gynyddu a seTytRu eu hunain yn gadarn, ac 1 roddi mynegiad i feddyliau nad ellir eu mynegu mewn unrhyw iaith heb eu donio a'r gwres Celt- aidd a'r cyfoeth o ddychymyg. Gymaint a euid wneyd trwy gydweithrediad a chefnogaeth! Y mae ir Iwerddon yn gwahodd cynrychiolwyr y cenedloedd Celtaidd i gyfarfod yn ei phrif ddinas ar drothwy yr ugeinfed ganrif, i ddadleu y ffordd i wneyd y ganrif hono yn ganrif Geltaidd, wedi ei thyngedu i weled cynydd a goruchaf- iaeth hil fwyaf orllewinol Ewrob, yr hil sydd wedi ei donio fwyaf a thrysorau ysbrydol, yr hil ar y ddaear sydd agosaf i'r nef. (Clywch. clywch). Y mae yn weledigaeth ogoneddus, ac yn un y gellir yn hawdd ei sylweddoli os yn unig y rboddwn ein dwylaw yn nghyd a gweitbio yn galonog gyda'n gilydd.

BRIWSION AMSER. Gan GWERNOGYDt), Pentre. MARWOLAETH THOMAS GEE. Gyda theimladau annysgrifiadwy y cofnodwn farwolaeth y gwladgarwr anghydmarol hwn. Parodd marwolaeth Mr Gee syndod a thristwch dirfawr drwy y Dywysogaeth. Priodolir hyn nid i sydvnrwydd y digwyddiad yn unig, ond o herwydd ei fawredd a'i ddefnyddioldeb. Ym- roddodd yn ddibaid ar hyd ei oes, i wasanaethu ei wlad a'i genedl, drwy ddefnyddio ei alluocdd a'i wybodaeth er gwellhau sefyllfa ei gyd-ddyn- ion yn mhob ystyr. Yr oedd ynddo ryw gyd- gyfarfyddiad a chyfartaliad hynod o ragor- iaethau, yn I gorphorol, medayliol a moesol, ac y, oedd ei dduwioldeb personal mewn evdgord- iad prydferth a'i enwogrwydd fel gwleidyddwr. Dywedwn hyn oddlar adnabyddiaetli bersonol o hono, ac y mae ei bregethau, areithiau, a'i' eiriau caredig, yn parhau i suo yn fy nghalon. Cofus genyf am dano oddeutu ugain mlynedd yn ol yn treulio Sabbothau yn nghapel Rhos. Rhuthyn, Dyffryn Clwyd. (Cofion fyrdd am yr hen ardal hoff). Yn ystod yr ysgol deuai oddiamgylch i'r dosbarthiadau. i'w cynghori a'u calonogi. Yr oeddwn inau y pryd hwnw yn, hogyn newydd ddysgu darllen, a mawr oedd ein Ilawenydd fel dosbarth pan ysgydwodd ddwy- law yn serchog a ni, a dywedyd ychydig eiriau caredig wrthym. Gyda hyfrydwch heddyw y cariaf yr adgof yn fy mynwes. fy mod wedi cael y fraint o wasgu llaw dyn mor fawr a Mr Thos. Gee. Dylanwadodd yn ddwfn ar ei wlad a'i I oes; nid dylanwad yn tarddu oddiar fonedd cyfceth, uchel swyddau, a'r cyffelyb, ydoedd, er ei fod yn llenwi'r pethau hyn, ond dylanwad defnyddioldeb. Bydd adsain ei leferydd iw glywed am flynyddau wedi i'w beirianau llafar bydru yn y llwch, a'i rinwedd yn cerdded yn mhlith ac yn dylanwadu arnynt am oesau a chanrifoedd. Yr oedd ei enw yn enw teuluaida, a, phawb yn teimlo dyddordeb ynddo, a bydd ei weithredoedd yn cael eu manmol, fel yn deil. wng o efelychiad pob dyn yn mhob oes. Yn Thomas Gee collodd cymdeithas ddiwygiwr goleu, gwresog, ac eang-galon, ymroddiad yr hwn i waith mawr gwelliant dynolryw oedd yn cael ei dywys gan wersi oddiwrth wyddorion cymdeithasol, a'i gynal gan ysbryd a nerth y grefydd hono a bregethai a'i dafod ac a addur- aal a'i fuchedd. Camgymeriad mawr ydyw edrych arno fel dyn enwadol; yr oedd ei ddy- lanwad are feddwl y cyffredin yn cyrhaedd yn mhell y tu hwnt i derfynau y cyfundeb y perth- ynai iddo. Hyderaf na thramgwyddaf neb o'r enwad parchus y Methodistiaid wrth ddweyd hyn. Cyflawnodd gyfanswm aruthrol o waith; yr oedd ei ddysgeidiaeth yn orddwfn, ac eang- der ei ^wybodaeth yn rhyfeddol; pob pwnc a changhen o wybodaeth y troai ei sylw, yr oedd yn hyfedr a meistrolgar yn y cyfan. Ysgrifen- odd lawer o bethau ar faterion gwleidyddol ac eglwysyddol, yn y rhai y dangosai ei hun yn elyn anghjinodlawn i bob maith o drais ac an- nghyfiawnder, twyll, a rfiagrith, Yr oedd ei onestrwydd mawr, a'i hyawl tanllyd, yn ei wneyd yn ofnadwy i'r rhai a feiddiant ei wrth- wynebu. Ymgrymwn iddo; dyn mawr ydoedd, o'r radd fwyaf, gydag ymroddiad yn ymladd biwydrau rhyddid a gwirionedd. Nid yn fuan yr anghofir helyntion y degwm, flynyddau yn ol, yn enwedig gan y sawl oedd yn eu canol. Y pryd hyn yr oedd Mr Gee hyd gj eithaf yn goleuo me/Rlyfiau plant Cymru o berthynas i'w hiawn- derau, a thaniodd feddyliau na ddiffoddant er pob gwynt gwrthwynebus: Pa un bynag ai yn ei swyddfa yn Ninbych, neu yn trefnu materion crefyddol, neu wleidyddol, neu yn ymweled a chleifion a thiodion y gymydogaeth-yn yr oil, ei egwyddorion a:i .ddibenion oeddynt yr un. Heddyw mae y byd Cymreig yn ei alar, ar ol un o'i feibion athrylithgar, defnyddiolaf, ac anwylaf. Yr ydym yn anobeithio y cawn weled ei gyffelyb mwy. Ni fu ond un Mr Gee, ac nis gall yr un Gee Gee arall fo dmwyach, mwy na Shakespeare arall, neu Milton arall. Anrhydedd fyddo i enw a choffadwriaeth yr iaithgarwr di- ffuant hwn.

Should Horses be Muzzled ? EFFECTS OF A HORSE-BITE. The dangerous consequences of a bite on the head from a horse, sustained by a Yarmouth man, gravely suggests the question which heads this article. The Yarmouth Independent tells the stery. A man named Jeary was attacked, several years ago, by a horse, which seized his head with its teeth. Though no very great injuries were visible, it soon became apparent that serious harm had been caused internally. The man began to suffer from awful headaches, he lost his sleep, and paralysis of the right side set in. He was soon altogether unable to move the arm. Medical treatment succeeded only in reducing the severity of the pains in the head. For six months the sufferer was in a Yarmouth hospital, but might as well, he says, have kept I out of it. He was also a patient at the National Hospital, Queen's-squar^, Bloomsbury, for five months, and was attended by some of the best doctors in the world but he returned home in much the same state as he had left it. This continued until the early part of the present year. Reading, however, the account of an interview with Mr. Greenwood, of 17, Holt's- terrace, Longsight, Manchester, said to have been cured of paralysis and locomotor atax by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People, Mr. Jeary wrote to him, and receiving a satisfactory reply, determined to, as a sort of forlorn hope, make a trial of them. The result exceeded expectations. How long was it before you began to feel better ? the Independ. reporter asked him. "Oh," was the reply, "before I had done taking the first box." Mr. Jeary described how to his joy he found one day, after he had used the pills a short time, that he was able to lift his long disused right arm. Better health and more strength gradually came back and he continued taking Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and Now," he continued, I have been able to do work in the hayfield, and people call me a living miracle' and 'the walking advertise- ment. The wife, who was also interviewed, confirmed all that her husband had said, told how he was now off his club spoke of the long trouble she had had to bear, and expressed her trust that better times had come. She remarked Even the clergyman in our parish when he meets me fays, How is Dr. Williams getting on ?' 1 say, I nicely., He says, It is a marvel.' I have had a struggle at times to get Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, but I do not mind. I wouM sell my home to get them for my husband." Mr. Jeary, whose address is Damgate, Mar- tham, Norfolk, had been paralysed for twelve years, and his cure naturally caused a great sensation there. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills act on the blood and nerves: paralysis is a fearful condition, and naturally less severe illnesses yield to the same remedy with greater certainty and readiness. Thus such minor disorders as rheumatism, sciatica, scrofula, rickets, chronic erysipelas, anaemia, muscular weakness, loss of appetite, palpitations, pains in the back, nervous headache and neuralgia, early decay, all forms of female weakness, and hysteria have been repeatedly cured, when the true remedy has been obtained but it is notable that not one cure is recorded by any of the substitutes sometimes offered (often under names and guises which amount to an attempted deception), so that purchasers will do well to look on the package for the full name, Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People failing this it is better to write direct to the Dr. Willi; m3' Medicine Company, 46, Holborn Viaduct, London, E.C., enclosing 2s. 9d. for one box or 13s.
