BARDDONIAETH. LLINRLLAU A gyfansoddwyd nan yn clrych ar y llong" Yanduara," yr hon a aeth ar y graig ar Barry Island Mawrth 6fed, 1334. "Vanduara," llong ardderchog, Cariwyd hon hyd ar y graig Gan gryf wyntoedd croesion natur, A berwedig donau'r aig; Yma saif, fel rhyw gof-adail 'Ddangos nerth y gwynt a'r don, Yn ysglyfaeth i'r elfenau, O drheni gweled hon. Pan yn driftio tua'r creigiau Terfysg mawr oedd ar y bwrdd, Hwy ddychmygent weled angau Ar y creigiau yn eu cwrdd Trwy drugaredd Duw fe'u cadwyd Rhag cael anamserol fedd, Ond i 'stlysau cryf y llestr Creigiau aethant megys cledd. Mae pob dyfais wedi'i threio Er ei morio ar y lli, Drylliant y daneddog greigiau, Hefyd hwy ddadlwythant hi; Trist yw gwel'd yr holl ddyfeisio Wedi myn'd (hyd hyn) i'r llawr, Gobaith sydd i'w gweled eto 'N merio'r gefn yr eigion mawr. Gweled dyn, O enaid gwerthfawr, ?N gaeth ar greigiau pechod du, Sydd olygfa llawer tristach— Tristaf ar ein daear ni; Esgeuluso wnaeth angori 'N ddigon dwfn yn nghlwyfau Crist, Uwch ei ben mae Hu o seintiau, Engyl glan, yn wylo'n drist.

GOL.A fyddwoh chwi mor garedig a chaniatau congl fechan o'ch newyddiadur clodwiw er i mi gael troaglwyddo fy nghamoliaeth wresocaf i W.P." am ei ysgrif werthfawr at Eglwysi Cymreig sydd yn Rhanbarth y Barri," er eu hanog i gynal oyfarfod gweddio undebol i bobl ieuainc eglwysi y lie. Blin genyf orfod dyweyd fy hunan fod eglwysi y wlad mor bell, os nid pellach, yn ol na'r trefydd yn eu cyfarfodydd gweddio. Blinder mawr ar eglwysi yw cwyno ac achwyn nad oes posibl cael gan y bobl ieuainc a sydd yn dyfod at grefydd y biynyddoedd diweddaf hyn i blygu i weddio yn gyhoeddus pan alwir arnynt am eu gwasanaeth. Beth drlywed Paul am hyn? "Gweddiwch yn ddibaid," ac 0 herwydd hyn, yr wyf yn plygu fy nglilliltu at Dad ein Harglwydd Iesu Grist," Gan weddio bob amser a pbob rhyw weddi a deisyfiad yn yr ysbryd." fr wyf yn ofni fod llawer o bobl ieuainc yr oes bresenol yn cael eu llanw a hunanoldeb a balchder at weddio mewn, oyfarfod cyhoeddua, ac hefyd yr ydwyf yn ystyried ei bod yn llawn bryd i'r holl eglwysi, gwlad a thref, i ddeffroi o gsvsg, gan gynyg at rhyw gynllun er deffroi y bobl ienainc o'u hanufudd- dod i wneyd eu rhan yn gyhoeddus yn y cyfarfod- ydd gweddio, cyn y caEo y cyfarfodydd gweddi eu claddu gyda'r hen dadau duwiol a gweithgar ag sydd wedi bod gyda hwynt am yr haner canrif diweddaf.

GWYL DEWI SANT YN BARRI. Cynhaliwyd yr wyl uchod y flwyddyn hon eto ar y laf o Eawrtia. yn Ngwestdy Harri, Barri Dock, o dan nawdd Cymdeithas Cymru Fydd." Cafwyd anerchiadau rhagorol, cryf, a phwrpasol. Gobeithio y gwelir eu hoi er daioni yn y dvfodol. Teiml vryd llavvenydd fod Cymru yn myned yn ei blaen, ac yn ymddyrchrfu mewn moes a dysg, ac am fod uym y fath gyfnndrefn ragorol oaddysg, ac am y sylw mae y Llywodraeth wedi roddi i addysg yn Nghyrnru, yn neillduol yn nglyn a'r iaith Gvmraeg a'r Brif-vsgol i Gymru. Y mae Cymru fach, dlawd, wedi ei chodi megys hyd y Net mewn breintiau oud na fydded i ni gael ein tynu lawr trwy esgeuluso y breintiau yma. Llawer iawn o swn a siarad. a dadleu ac ysgrifenu, sydd wedi bod gan oreugwyr ein gwlad a'n cenedl am gael Cymraeg i'r ysgolion dyddiol. fel ag y byddai ein plant yn cael mautais i ddysgu siarad ac ysgrifenu yn eu hiaith eu hnnain, a thrwy lawer o ymdrech yr ydys wedi llwyddo i gael hyn. Yr ydym ninau yn Barri wedi cael gan y bwrdd addysg i gychwyn dosbarthiadau i ddysgu Cymraeg yn yr ysgol nos, fel math o ragbarotoad ar gyfer eu dwyn i mewn i'r ysgolion dyddiol. Ond yr oedd y brodyr da oedd yn sÎitrad yn Ngwyl Dewi yn achwyn yn druenus nad oedd y Cymry yn gwneyd y defnydd dyladwy o'r manteision o fewn eu cyrhaedd. Ychydiv; iawn, mewn cymhariaeth, o blant y Cymry oedd yn mynychu y dosbarthiadau Cymreig. Y, oedd v Saeson yn llawer mwy awyddus am ddysgu Cymraeg i'w plant na'r Cymry eu hunain. Ni ddylasai pethau fod felly," fel y dywedodd rhai o'r brodyr ei bod yn gywilydd i ni fel ceuedl ein bod yn ymddwyn fel ag yr ydym at ein plant, a'n iaith. a. n gwlad cin hunaim. Mai Saesneg oed,i y i wyaf o'r rhieni yn siarad a'u plant, ac rnie Saesueg oeddynt yn glywed ar yr ystryd, yn yr ysgol, &c., ac felly eu bod yn fwriadol anghymhwyso eu plant i fod o unrhyw ddefnydd i'r achosion Cymreig yn y dyfodol, ac felly mae ofer oedd myned i'r draul o adeiladu addoldai mawrion Cymreig yn y lie, ac, ar yr un pryd, yn gwneyd eu goreu i wneyd eu plant yn Saeson. Gobeithio y bydd i'r Cymry osod y pethau yma at eu calon. Yr oedd rhai o'r siaradwyr yn bur law-drwm ar y rhan fwyaf o Gymry yr ardal am eu hoerfelgarwch a'u diffyg cefnogaeth i Gymdeithas Cymru Fydd," a phob mudiad Cymreig yn y lie ac, yn wir, onid oes achoa ? Pa synwyr sydd fod ychydig o frodyr ffyddlawn cenedlgarol yn aberthu eu hamser gwerthfawr, a'u harian, a'u pobpeth, er ceisio codi eu cenedl eu hunain, tra mae corff y Cymry mor ddideimlad a diddiolch. Y mae pawb, pan siaredir a hwy, yn cydnabod fod amcanion y gymdeithas yn dda, a'n bod wedi gwneyd gwaith da yn yr ardal, eto nid ydynt yn foddlon aberthu nac amser nac arian er cefnogi y gymdeithas. Y mae ymddygiadau felly yn ddigon i lwfrhau a digalbni y ffyddloniaid; ond gobeithio, er hyny, na fydd iddynt roddi fyny yr ysbryd, ond y bydd iddynt barhau i weithio ac i lafurio nes deffroi ein cenedl o'i chysgadrwydd a'u difaterwch. Gair eto ar y dyfodol. Pa fodd i ymlwybro yn y dyfodol ? Y mae llawer o ciagiisc-dion yn cael eu rhoddi gan y Cymry dros eu hanffyddlondeb, ac un o'r cyfryw ydyw fod gormod o Saesneg ynddi, ac o herwydd hyny fod llawer o'r Cymry yn cadw draw. Wel, diamheu fod llawer o wirionedd yn hyn ond nid wrth gadw draw y mae ei gwella, ond trwy ddyfod i'r cyfarfodydd a dadgan ein teimladau. &c, Dywed eraill fod y gymdeithas ormod naill ochr-mae yn v canol, tua Barri Dock, y dylasai gaelei chynal. Wel, y mae y gymdeithas wedi cael ei symud unwaith i Holton, er mwyn cyfarfod a'r rheswm, neu yr esgusawd, yma. Ond chafwyd dim ychwanegiad at y frawdoliaeth er gwneyd hyn, achos fod grym cefnogwyr y gym- deithas yn byw yn Cadoxton. Beth oedd yn well na chadw y gymdeithas lie yr oedd mwyafrif yr aelodau yn byw ? Y mae rhai hefyd yn teimlo y byddai yn fwy llwyddianus pe y troid hwy yn fwy Seneddol, gan drefnu yn ddwy neu dair plaid, a dadleu prif bynciau y dydd yn y drefn Seneddol. Eraill a greda y dylid cael mwy o gyfarfodydd llenyddol yn nglyn a'r gymdeithas. am mai felly y gellid cael gafael ar y plant a'r bobl ieuainc oreu, ac y byddai yr eglwysi Cymreig yn debyg o roddi mwy o gefnogaeth yn y ffordd hono nag un ffordd, gan ffurfio pwyllgor o ddau neu dri o bob capel, a phenderfynu ar destanau a fuasai a thuedd i G 'vmreigeidfl:o y plant a'r bobl ieuainc, ac i'w cod i fldarlien ilyfrau. > Cymreig, ateb goi'y,'iiadau ar haiies Cymru, a rhoddi gwobrwyon am drAethodau ac ysgrifau byi-iozi ar enwogion. brenhinoedd. a beirdd Cymru. Wel, byd lai yn dda genvi waled y Cymry yn dyfod allan i ddadgan eu meddvliau ar y mater yn Gymraeg. gan fod golygydd parchus a gweithgar y Barry Doclt, News yn caniatau i ni gyfnewid meddyliau yn yr iaith Gymracg ar fitfcerion Cymreig. We!, ynte, mawrhawn ein braint, a defnyddiwn y cyfleusderau sydd yn ein gafael. Bydd yn dda gan y golygydd, yn ddi- amheu, weled amryw yn danfon eu syniadau ar y pethau yma. Beth, hefyd, am sylwadau Mr J. R. Llewellyn, noson y wledd, am y ffordd oreu i gadw Gwyl Dewi, sef trwy gael cyfarfod hollol Gymreig i ganu anthemau, rhan-ganau, ac alawon Cymraig, neu bregethu, &«.. yn hytrach na gwledd. Traethed y brodyr eu lien yn y Gongl Gymreig yn y Barry Dock pewll. Bydd cyfarfod rheolaidd y gymdeithas nos Fawrth wythnos i'r nesaf, sef y 27ain cyfisol, pryd y bydd yn dda genym weled yr holl aelodau yn bresenol am haner awr wedi saith, a phob un arall sydd yn teimlo dyddordeb yn y mndiad. Cofier am hyn.—Yr eiddoch yn Gymro. aidd, J. D. DAVIES, Ysg.

Original flottrri. [Written specially for the "BARRY DOCK NEWS."] IN MEMORIAM Of Mrs Mary Brock, wife of Mr John Brock' Little Hill Cottage, Cadoxton-Barry, who died on the 28th of December, 1893. in her 77th year Thy loss is mourned by many a friend, From wounded hearts deep sighs ascend, The Church does also mourn The one we always loved to greet, No more on earth her presence meet, To heaven her soul is borne. No more temptations shall she see, From weakness and from sin set free, She sings in Paradise Redemption is the glorious song, She sweetly swells amidst the throng, Which from the heart arise. Though she herself no more be seen, Her memory shall be ever green, To all who knew her right; And if we're parted for a time, Let us who follow upward climb To happy realms of light. Then husband, children, mourners all Be ready to receive the call, And seek the heavenly love So then you'll see the one you lore, And join her in the courts above, And meet to pare no more. To die was gain for her who loved the Lord, From fears free, dark Jordan's stream she ford Through life's long weary journey she has gone, Her faith she kept, and all her battles won Victorious was through Christ who loved her well, And bravely bore far more than tongue can tell. What trials and temptations she passed through God only knows, and taught her how to do She cast on Him her burden and her way, And forth was brought as bright as noon of day. May we, like her, through faith in Christ be blest, And from our toils to gain eternal rest. WILLOW.

"KNOCKAKOUTABILITY": A STRAY PLEA FOR OLD CLO.' Let poets sing the 1; word that cheers," And woo in vain a touchy muse, I trim my rhymes for other ears, And sing a word that all may use From lips by diction's laws distressed It falls with sweet facility, And though in vulgar notes expressed You'll find a world of meaning rest In Knockaboutabiiity What promise in its sound, ng force The fashion-wearied soul may find, What balm within its rhythmic course, And in the taste it leaves behind; It tells of comfort and of ease, It smacks of pure utility, And spite of all linguistic pleas, We love to seek such claims as these In Knockaboutabiiity! This gipsy vest,'this battered "straw," With scornful looks you strangely scan, And mutter that you never saw Such raiment on a business man Think not, my friend, that these I wear In pride that apes humility," But mark-the damaged looks they share, In most decided lines declare Their Knockaboutability Down, Modern Style Down, Etiquette!— I would that all were wise as this- To break the bond of fashion's net For use and comfort, ease and bliss To praise the man who dares to flout The laws of meek servility, And. heedless of a jeering rotrt, Will live the earnest motto out Of Knockaboutability." But stay, exceptions must appear, And vainly is my lesson tauirhn. Smile, cynic, smile, to note that here A limit comes with second ttaught Grim judge oft-fated to descry My verses' mild sterility, View these, I pray, with lenient eye, Try not, or very gently try- Their Knockaboutabiiity Cardiff.

"IT TOUCHES THE SPOT." Aye, that is what "HOMOCEA" does. And doefe it quickly, too—whether it's a toothache or neuralgia, with all their shooting pains, or eczema. with its painful and distressing irritation—or piles, that make thousands of lives wretched. Rheuma- tism in the joints or muscles has been cured even of years' standing—while for cuts, burns, and bruises it's far, very far, ahead of any ointment that has ever been put before the public. LORD CARRICK says HOMOCEA cured him of bleeding piles, when all else failed; that he gave some to a labourer who was lamed by a stone falling upon him, whom it cured. A woman had a pain in the elbow and could not bend it for a year, and it cured her, and another used it for scurvy on her leg, and it was doing her good—one letter closes from him with the words, It iBthe most wonderful stuff that I ever came across." LORD COMBERMERE says HOMOCEA did him more good than any embrooation he had ever used for rheumatism. TESTIMONIAL FROM THE GREAT AFRICAN EXPLORER, HENRY M. STANLEY. Whitehall, London. "Dear Sir,-Your oint- ment, called HOMOCEA, was found to be the most sooth- ing and efficacious unguent that I could possibly have for my fractured limb, as it seems to retain longer than any other, that oleaginous- ness so requisite for perfect and efficient massage. The fault of embrocations, gene- rally, is that they harden and require warmth, where as yours, besides being particularly aromatic, is as soft as oil, and almost instantly mollifying in the case of severe iiiflaramation.-Yours faithfully, HENRY M. STANLEY." Remember that HOMOCEA subdues inflammation and allays irritation almost as soon as appiied. All wholesale house3 stock HOMOCEA. It can be obtained from Chemists and others at Is. 1 d. or 2s. 9d. per box, or will be sent by post for Is. 3d. and 3s. from the wholesale agency, 21, Hamilton Square, Birkenhead.

A BARRY BOY INJURED BY A CASK. THE LAD'S PARENTS OBTAIN COM. PENSATION. An action was brought in the Cardiff County Court on Thursday last (before his Honour Judge Owen) by John Horton, a coal trimmer, of Barry, to recover X30 damages on account of injuries snstained by his son John Henry, aged seven, bv the falling of a cask froma trolly belonging to Henry Green, parting agent for the Barry Railway Com- pany Mr A. Jackson, solicitor, appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr Arthur Lewis, B.A. L., was for the defendant.—It appeared from the evidence that on the 25th of September, 1893, a trolly belonging to defendant was being dtiven through Portbkerry-road, Barry, when the cask rolled off on to the road and struck the little fellow a blow in the back, which resulted in internal injuries, necessitating close medical attention for some time. The lad had now recovered.—William Butler, car- man, in the employ of Mr Green, Barry, stated that he, on the day in question, conveyed three casks of petroleum from the Barry Railway Station. These casks were scotched in the ordinary way, standing firm during the earlier part of the journey, but on coming down Porthkerry-road one of the wheels of the trolly caught a stone, causing the casks to roll over. He repeately asked the children who were hanging on behind the dray to clear off. -For the defence it was-maintained that the child had no rierdt to be hanging at the rear of the trolly, and if the child had not been holding on to the trolly in all probability the accident might have been avoided.—His Honour held that the boy was walking on the Queen's highway, and there was no law to prevent him from walking behind a trolly. The question resolved itself into one of damages, and in this respect he did not think the child bad sustained very serious injury, and if full damages were given the amount would not go to the boy but to his father. His Honour gave a verdict for the plaintiff with £ 12 damages.

BARRY GRAVING DOCK COMPANY'S WORKINGS LAST YEAR. After providing for L2,491, the interest on the debentures, the net profit of the Barry Graving Dock and Engineering Company for the last year amounted to £ 16,603, out of which an interim dividend was paid on the 6th of May, leaving a balance of over L12,310 The directors have applied 23,000 to the repayment of debentures, and carried £ 3,000 to the reserve working capital account, and they recommend a final dividend of 10s. per share, making 10 per cent. for the year. This will leave £1,310 to be carried foward. The directors have considered it desirable that the amounts paid from time to time in redemption of debentures should be applied in reduction of the amount of capital account, and they have accordin!!ly transferred from reserve a sum of 25,000, which, with the L4,000 hitherto deducted as depreciation, and the £ 3.000 paid off this year, | t^d^ total amount of debentures redeemed
