==?========== CARDIFF CHURCH BAZAAR. LORD TREDEGAR AND THE HIGH RITUAL. A bazaar, organised for the purpose of clear- ing off the debt on St. Mary's National Schools, Cardiff, and also for meeting the expenses of putting those schools in a thorough state of repair, was opened at the Town-hall, Cardiff, on Tuesday by Lord Tredegar. The stalls filled the assembly room, and were stocked with one of the best selections of articles which have been seen. The former vicar (the Rev. G. A. Jones) introduced Lord Tredegar to the assembly, and his lordship, in declaring the bazaar open, delivered one of his humorous speeches. When he had been called upon to act in similar capacities at Cardiff it was generally the Park-hall or Drill-hall, but on looking at the programme on this occasion he found that the bazaar was to be held at the Town-hall. This gave him pause, and he wondered whether it was an attempt on the part of "Cochfarf" and the passive registers to inveigle the representatives of the non. provided schools and capture them in one fell swoop. (Laughter.) His Lordship then paid a very high tribute to the work done by the former vicar, and expressed his sympathy with his successor, the Rev. Gilbert Heaton, M.A., St. Mary's, he said, was a large and populous parish, and would try the new vicar's organisation to the utmost. Delicately- touching upon the high ritual subject, he said he had found somewhere a couplet— They want so far to keep from Rome That they went right out of Christendom. There were differences in ritual, but he treated them all alike because they were all in the cause of religion. (Applause.) In proposing a vote of thanks to Lord Tredegar, the Rev. Gilbert Heaton said he would like it to be known how grateful he was to the old vicar for inaugurating the bazaar, and tat all those who had worked for its success. He (Mr. Heaton) hoped to enter the parish with as few pecuniary responsibilities as possible, and promised to carry on the work of the schools in which daily religious instruction would be given. Councillor Robert Hughes seconded, and the proposition was carried with applause. Lord Tredegar said, in reply, that he always found a preponderating number of ladies at these functions. Had he not been un- encumbered, there might have been a strong feeling at home to turn his influence in another direction. (Laughter.) Being abso- lutely independent, he could do exactly what ne liked, and that was a great charm in life. (Laughter and applause.) Some time ago a lady had asked him to support a home in another county, and if he could purchase anything suitable he would like to do so. But it was an extraordinary thing that, notwith- standing the number of bazaars he had at- tended, there were many things he could not find. One of these was the thin end of the wedge—(laughter)—but he had no doubt such a thing could be found in the bazaar. The bazaar was then opened, and a brisk business done. The entertainments have been well organised, and deserve support.

I CHARGE OF FORGERY. PREFERRED AGAINST A PEM- BROKESHIRE SCHOOLMASTER. At the Pembroke County Police-court on Saturday before Mr. N. A. Roch (chairman) I and a full bench of magistrates, Charles Western, a schoolmaster at Angle, nearr Pem- broke, was brought up in custody charged I with forgery. It is alleged that prisoner signed the name of the Rev. E. F. Wolfe (the vicar of the parish) to a cheque for E6 2s., which was returned by the bank. There are other charges against the prisoner, who appeared in court looking somewhat strange. Dr. E. R. Williams gave evidence that, in his opinion, the prisoner was not in a fit state of mind to plead to the charge, neither would he be for about a week, and the bench re- manded him to Carmarthen till Saturday.

ALLEGED USE OF THE KNIFE. At Cardiff Police-court on Monday Clarence Harris, 21, a black man, was charged with cutting and wounding a coloured fellow- countryman named Henry Taylor, in the left side with a knife in the Cardigan Arms, Maoria- street, with intent, on Saturday.—Prosecutor, a fireman, said he lived at No. 1, Sophia- street. At twenty past six on Saturday night I he went into the Cardigan Arms. Prisoner presently entered, and they had a few words. They could not agree. Witness asked, "Are you looking for trouble?" Accused said he was, and, pushing witness away with one hand, with the other he stabbed him in the left side.-Prisoner alleged that complainant had followed him all day, called him names, and "went for him" first in the bar.-William Murphy, labourer, and other witnesses gave corrobora- tive evidence as to what transpired.-Dr. J. J. Buist (police surgeon) said complainant had a clean out wound on the left side of the chest an inch long and a quarter of an inch deep. The force used must have been considerable, as it cut through the coat, waistcoat, shirt, and under- vest. The clothes around the cut were wet with blood. The wound might have been in- flicted by the large pocket-knife produced.- Prisoner was committed for trial at the next assizes. i

ALLEGED FOWL STEALING. At Cardiff Police-court on Monday Albert Kingdom (26) was charged with stealing three Indian game fowls, value 30s., the property of William Solomons, from a coop at the back of 67, Windsor-road, on October 17. He was further charged with assaulting Solomons on the head with a stone with intent.-Prosecutor deposed that on Saturday night he went into the back-yard to lay some rat poison, and found that the heads of two of the fowls had been cut off. Prosecutor, by the aid of a lamp, looked into the coop and saw prisoner. He came out when requested. Prosecutor etruck at prisoner with his belt, and threw the lamp at him, but prisoner threw a stone, which struck witness on the head and knocked him senseless. Prisoner got away.-Dr. Creagh (East Moore) stated that prosecutor had an incised wound 2Jin. long and a qaarter of an inch deep on the left side of the head.—Police-constable Henry Rosser stated that on Saturday night he met prisoner in The Walk, proceeding hurriedly towards Castle-road. He was not wearing a hat, and said, in reply to witness, that there was not anything the matter, also tendering the explanation that he lost his cap in Castle- road. Having no reason for detaining him, witness let him go. Later the same evening witness went to 19, Russell-street, and found prisoner in the back bedroom, cleanly shaved, though when he first saw him he was wearing a black moustache. Witness conveyed him to the Roath Police-station. On each knee of his trousers was a patch of blood. In the back-yard of the house in Windsor-road there were spots of blood on the stones produced. Prisoner, on being charged, said he knew ¡ nothing about it.-He was committed to the I assizes for trial.

THE GREAT STORM. WHAT THE HURRICANE OF 1703 DID FOR WALES. [BY ARTHUR MEE.] The autumn of 1703 witnessed the most fearful storm that is ever known to have visited these islands. Through the kind- ness of a neighbour I have had the oppor- tunity of studying a contemporary record, in the shape of a stout octavo volume, which must be rare because it is not in the Cardiff Free Library. The old book is entitled "The Storm, or a Collection of the Most Remarkable Casualties and Disasters which Happened in the Late Dreadful Tempest Both by Sea and Land. London: Printed for G. Saw- bridge in Little Britain, and Sold by J. Nutt, near Stationers' Hall. MDCCIV." It scarcely be mentioned that this volume has reference to the most frightful storm ever known to have raged in these islands, viz., that of November, 1703. The name of the compiler is not given, but posterity owes him a debt for the trouble he took to collect his data, and for the vivid picture thus afforded of a formidable catastrophe. It is pot my intention here to deal with the book or the storm in general, save to say that the latter may be said to have commenced on the 24th, and to have blown with full fury on the 26th of November. The narratives in the book are evidently printed very much as they were received, which, of course, greatly enhances the value of the record. The earliest local reference is at page 96, which we give as follows: — Sir,—By the Late Dreadful Storm a. con- siderable Breach was made in our Town Wall, and Part of the Church Steeple blown down; besides most of the Inhabitants Buffered very much by untiling their Houses, Ac., and abundance of Trees unrooted: at the same time our River overflowed, and drowned the low Grounds of both Sides the Town, whereby several Hundreds of Sheep were lost, and some Cattle; and one of our Market Boats lifted upon our Key. This is a true account of most of our Damages. I am, your humble Servant, WILLIAM JONES. Cardiff, Jan. 10, 1703. This is a very interesting letter, and I do not recollect ever seeing it before. The date, of course, would be January 10, 1704, of our present reckoning. Doubtless, our learned borough archivist. Mr. Hobson Matthews, could say off-hand who William Jones was. The church mentioned would, no doubt, be St. John's. The town walls even then were ruinous, and the Taff just as wayward as before—and since. The Key would be somewhere on the site of Westgate-street. The next reference is from Monmouth- shire — From Monmouth we have a Letter that among a vast variety of Ruins, in their own Houses and Barns; one whereof fell with a quantity of Sheep in it, of which seven were kill'd. The Lead of the great Church, tho' on the side from the Wind, was roll'd up like a roll of Cloth, and blown off from the Church. I chose to note this because the Letter says it was upon the North-side of the Church, and which seems to confirmed what I have obaerv d before, of the Eddies of the Wind, the Operation whereof has been very strange in several Places and more Violent than the Storm itself. There was a very curious occurrence in Breconshire: — At Laneloe in the County of Brecon in Wales, a Poor Woman with a Child was blown away by the Wind, and the Child being about 10 years old was taken up in the Air two or three yards, and very much Wounded and Bruised in the fall. The following is a portion of a letter from the pen of the "Rev. Mr. Tho. Chest, Minister of Chepstow" — Upon the Evening of Friday, November 26, 1703, the Wind was very high; but about midnight it broke out with a more than wonted Violence, and so continued till near break of day. It ended a N.W. Wind, tho'h about three in the Morning it was at S.W. The loudest cracks I observed of it were somewhat before 4 of the Clock; we had here the common Calamity of Houses shattered and Trees thrown down. But the Wind throwing the Tyde very strongly into the Severn, and so into the Wye, on which Chepstow is seituated. And the Fresh in Wye meeting with a Rampant Tyde, overflowed the lower part of our Town. It came into several Houses about 4 foot high; the greatest damage sustained in Houses was by the makers of Salt, perhaps their loss might amount to near 2001. The writer goes on to detail the damage done to the bridge, which was severely injured on the Monmouthshire side: — All the level Land on the South part of Monmouthshire, called the Moors, was over- flow'd; it is a tract of Land about 20 miles long, all Level, save 2 little points of High- land or 3; the Breadth of it is not all of one size, the broadest, part is about 2 miles and i- This Tyde came 5 Tydes before the top of the Spring, according to the usual run, which surprized the People very much. Many of their Cattle got to shore, and some dy'd after they were landed. It is thought by a Moderate Compu- tation they might lose in Hay and Cattle between 3 and 4,0001. I cannot hear of any Person drowned, save only one Servant Man that ventur'd in quest -of his Master's Cattle. The People were carried off, some by boats, some other ways, the days following; the last that came off (that I can hear of) were on Tuesday evening, to be sure they were uneasy and astonished in that Interval. There are various reports about the height of this Tyde in the Moors, comparing it with that in Jan. 1606. But the account that seems likeliest to me is that the former Tyde ran somewhat higher than this 'Tis thought most of their land will be worth but little these 2 or 3 years, and 'tis known that the repairing the Sea Walls will be very changeable. It need scarcely be noted that the sums mentioned would represent much larger amounts in present-day money. The flood of 1606 was that which destroyed old St. Mary's, Cardiff, besides doing an infinity of other damage in South Wales. Swamy, Ja.ny. 24, 170J.—Sir,—I receiv'd yours, and accordingly have made an enquiry in our ^Neighbourhood what damage might be^Bne in the late Storm, thro' Mercy we escap'd indifferently, but you will find underwritten as much as I can learn to be certainly true. The Storm began here about 12 at Night, but the most violent part of it was about 4 the next Morning, about which time the greatest part of the Houses in the Town were uncovered more or less, and one House clearly blown down; the damage sustain'd to the Houses is modestly computed at 2001. the South Isle of the Church was wholly uncovered, and considerable damage done to the other Isles, and 4 large stones weigh- ing about One Hundred and Fifty or Two Hundred Pound each was blown down from the end of the Church, three of the four Iron Spears that stood With Vanes on the corners of the Tower were broken short off in the middl. and the Vanes not to be found, and the Tail of the Weather Cock which stood in the middle of the Tower was blown off, and found in a Court near 400 yards distant, from the Tower. In Cline Wood belonging to the Duke of Beaufort near this Town there is about 100 large Trees blown down, as also in a, Wood on our River belonging to Mr Thomas Mansell of Britonferry about 80 large Oakes. The Tydes did not much damage, but two Ships were blown off our Bar and by Provi- dence one came aground on the Salt House point near our Harbour, else the Ship and Men had perished; the other came on shore, but was saved. I hear further that there are several Stacks of Corn over-turn'd by the violence of the Wind in the Parishes of Roysily and Largenny in Gower; most of the Thatcht Houses in this Nghood was uncovered. Sir, this you may rely on to be true. Yours, &c. WILLIAM JONES. This is probably not the same William Jones as the Cardiff contributor, and the coincidence of names is curious. "Indif- ferently" in his narrative may be con- strued as "fairly well" in modern English. Besides the above, Captain Soanes, of the Royal Navy, gives some account of the damage suffered by his own and other vessels in Milford Haven, where a squadron of men-of-war happened to be at the time. The captain says that the morning after the storm the shipping was Et "dismal sight." Some thirty vessels and their crews were lost, but Captain Soanes adds that none of his own ships came to any harm. He saw several trees and houses which had been blown down. The Navy as a whole did not escape so well as Captain Soanes' squadron, for seven or eight men-of-war and their crews were sacrificed. The devastation round our coasts was immense. In London alone damage was done to the extent of £2,000,000. Altogether some 8,000 persons perished, including the Bishop of Bath and his wife. A specially sad inci- dent was the destruction of the first Eddystone lighthouse and its gifted architect, Winstanley. Had such a storm: occurred to-day it would have occupied j: bhe newspapers for weeks. 1; I

COLOFN Y CYMRY. [GAN IDRISWYN."] DIRGELWCH BODOLAETH EIN CENEDL. Hwyrach ein bod wrth geisio olrhain y dirgelwch am fodolaeth ein cenedl, yn fynych, yn colli golwg ar un o'r prif allu- oedd—os nad y prif-a fu'n offerynol, yn llaw Rhagluniaeth, wrth gwrs, i Gymru gadw ei chenedlaetholdeb a'i hiaith a'i nhodweddion, a'r gallu hwnw yw ein llen- yddiaeth. Nid wyf heb gofio am yr Ysgol Sul a'i gwasanaeth i Gymru a'r modd y gwaredodd ein cenedl rhag cael ei llyncu i fyny gan y Saeson yn nechreu y ganrif ddiweddaf a thrwy y ganrif hyd ei diwedd ao i ddechreu yr ugeinfed, ac mai wrthi hi yr ydys yn dysgwyl, yn benaf, yn yr oes hon am gadwraeth pobpeth o werth a feddwn; ond nis gallasai wneud y gwaith a gyflawnodd heb gymhorth y wasg, neu lenyddiaeth, Gymraeg ac awdwyr a chy- hoeddwyr a dosbarthwyr. Y mae meddwl a chyfansoddi yn nodweddion amlwg yn y cymeriad Cymreig o'i hanes cyntaf yn moreuddydd y ddynoliaeth; y mae y lluaws llaw-ysgrifau henafol yn y gwa- hanol Amgueddfeydd a llyfrgelloedd yn ddigon i brofi hyny; a diau fod llawer mwy nag sydd ar gael wedi eu dinystrio pan losgwyd y mynaehlogydd oedd yn britho Cymru ganrifoedd yn ol, yr hyn sy'n hynod anffortunus. Pan ddargan- fyddwyd yr argraffwasg, dechreuwyd gwneud defnydd o honi yn fuan yn Nghymru; effeithiodd y darganfyddiad ar Gymru yn union fel ar genedioedd byw ac annibynol y byd gwareiddiedig, ond yn hollol wahanol i bob cenedl orchfygedig arall. Creodd gyfnod newydd yn ei hanes —ysbrydolodd ei hawdwyr a lluosogodd ei ilyfrau, tra y rhoddodd ergyd farwol i lenyddiaeth yr Alban a'r Iwerddon a Chernyw ac amryw o genhedloedd bychain ar y Cyfandir. Ni wnaeth Uedaeniad dy- lanwad y wasg yn Lloegr a dylifiad llyfrau a chyhoeddiadau allan wrth y miloedd yn flynyddol ond cynhyrfu Oymru i'w dilyn; agorodd ei llygaid i'r cyfleusderau oedd wedi dod i'w hymyl i ddiogelu ei chenedl- aetholdeb ac i ymddyrchafu mewn dy«g a gwybodaeth, a'i galluogi i ddod yn ddigon eofn i sefyll i fyny gerbron ei llywodraeth- wyr i hawlio ei holl ragorfreintiau fel oenedl. Y mae hwn y prawf cadarnaf ellir ddwyn yn mlaen i brofi ein cenedl- aetholdeb a'n hawliau i ddeddfau gwa^ hanol i ranau eraill o'r Deyrnas Gyfunol. Profi yn farwolaeth i lenyddiaeth cenedl-1 oedd bychain eraill wnaeth Deffroad Llen- yddol y bedwaredd ganrif ar bymtheg, ond bywyd o feirw i lenyddiaeth Cymru. YR YSGOL SUL YN EI FEDDIANNU. Ac, yn ffodus, ond hynod naturiol a nodweddiadol, daeth y wasg yn Nghymru i feddiant yr Ysgol Sul a chrefydd, a bu I felly am driugain mlynedd, o leiaf, yn j gyfangwbl; ac yr oedd diwallu y syched' am wybodaeth ysgrythyrol a duwinyddol' yn llawn digon o waith iddi yn ystod y cyfnod maith hwnw. Fel mai hanes crefydd yw hanes Cymru am fwy na dwy ganrif, felly hefyd am hanes y wasg—y mae'n dal cysylltiad agos iawn a chrefydd; y mae stori cychwyniad a llwyddiant y naill yn gydwauedig a hanes y llall. Y dyhead oedd crefydd wedi ei greu yn ein cenedl am wybodaeth, a'r angen am lyfrau i gario'r Ysgol Sul yn mlaen yn effeithiol roddodd fod i'r wasg Gymreig • dyna ddygodd yr argraffwasg i'r gwahanol drefydd; ac fe ellir olrhain eisteddleoedd gwybodaeth a phreswyl- feydd awdwyr wrth sylwi ar enw'r argraff- wyr ar hen lyfrau a chyhoeddiadau Oym- raeg—yr oedd y naill yn canlyn y llall. Pennod ddyddorol fuasai hono yn hanes Cymru yn rhoddi hanes llawn a manwl o hen lyfrau Cymraeg—yn cychwyn gyda'r awdwr ac yn diweddu gyda'r darllenydd. Byddai'n llawn o ffeithiau rhyfedd, a dygai i'r golwg hunan-aberth na cheir hanes ei debyg yn mysg lioll genhedloedd y ddaear. Llafur cariad oedd y cyfan; ar eu colled y byddai'r hen awdwyr yn cyhoeddi eu llyfrau; collodd yr hen ar- graffwyr gannoedd o filoedd o bunnau o bryd i bryd, a gwariwyd ami i etifedd- iaeth i ddal yr argraffwasg i fynd yn ei blaen; a cheid dynion yn barod yn mhob rhan o'r wlad i ymgymeryd a gwerthu llyfrau a chasglu yr arian yn ddidal, yn unig o gariad at lenyddiaeth ac yn y gred- iniaeth eu bod yn gwasanaethu eu cenedl yn yr iawn gyfeiriad. Ac felly yr oedd- ynt, hen greaduriaid gonest a diniwed, fel ag yr oeddynt, a'r Brenin Mawr yn unig wyr faint o ddaioni wnaeth y dos- barth hwn i'n cenedl yn ystod haner cyntaf y ganrif ddiweddaf-felly y byddent, meddaf, yn dosbarthu llyfrau a chyhoeddiadau ao yn cymeryd gofal o'r arian, gan gredu eu bod yn gwneud gwas- anaeth i Dduw. BRON YN WYBTHIOL. Nid elwa. oedd nod ac amcan neb yn nglyn a llenyddiaeth Gymreig y dyddiau hyny; llafur cariad oedd y cyfan; a dyna'r esboniad ar y ffaith ryfedd—bron nad ellir ei galw yn wyrth—fod y Gymraeg yn fyw headyw, tra mae y Wyddelaeg a'r Galaeg a'r Gernywaeg a'r Manywaeg o fewn y Deyrnas Gyfunol, ac amryw o ieithoedd eraill ar Gyfandir Ewrob, wedi tiengu yn ystod y bedwaredd ganrif ar bymtheg. Fe ddygwyddodd mwy o chwyldroadau yn nglyn a'r wasg a llenyddiaeth yn y cyfnod hwnw nao a gymerodd Ie yn ystod y tri chan mlynedd blaenorol, neu er pan sefydlwyd y wasg gyntaf yn y wlad hon; ond fe ddaeth Cymru allan trwy'r holl beiriau a'r profion a'r cyfnewidiadau yn ddiogel; ac nid rywsut, chwaith, ond yn gryfach ac yn well, a'i hiaith yn burach a'i llenyddiaeth yn gyfoethocach, a'i chy- meriad yn ardderchocach a glanach. Yr ysbrydiaeth lenyddol hon, wedi ei hangerddoli gan gariad cenedlaethol a'i hysbrydoli gan wirioneddau mawrion Cristionogaatli, sydd wedi cario i lawr i'r oes hon iaith a llenyddiaeth Cymru; buasai wedi hen farw a'i chladdu er's oes- oedd oni buasai am lafurus-gariad ei hen gymwynaswyr llenorol a gredent yn ddi- ysgog fod yr hen iaith i fyw a'i llenydd- iaeth i flodeuo a. bod dyfodol dysglaer o flaen eu oenedl; ie, y gallai orchfygu hyd yn nod ei gorchfygwyr, trwy ddod y prif ddylanwad er daioni yn Mhrydain Fawr. Dyma ddireglwch ein bodolaeth heddyw; ac y mae'r holl freijntiau a'r manteision ydym yn eu canol heddyw; y safle uchel y mae'n cenedl vnddi mewn addysg a moesoldeb a chrefydd y mae'r oil wedi tarddu o'n llenyddiaeth bur a chrefyddol wedi ei hysgrifenu gan wir garedigion- dynion yr oedd llwyddiant eu gwlad yn fwy yn eu golwg na'u buddiannau eu hun- ain, a dynion a dreuliasant eu da ac a roddasant eu bywydau yn ebyrth byw drosti. EIN GOBAITH YN Y DYFODOL. Yn ein llenyddiaeth y mae ein gobaith am y dyfodol, ac yr ydym yn ymddibnu mwy nag erioed ar lyfrau a chyhoedd- iadau Cymraeg am gadwraeth pobpeth a- feddom. Y mae lledaeniad addysg, dad- blygiad y wasg, rhadlonrwydd llyfrau Saesneg, ac ysbryd anturiaethus eu cy- hoeddwyr yn eu gwthio ar y Cymry, yn gwneud y gwaith sydd o flaen gwasg Cymru yn bwysicach a thrymach nag y bu un amser yn ei hanes. Y mae angen am y llenor a'r bardd a'r cerddor; ie, dysgwylir iddynt fod ar eu goreu, a gelwir ar y dynion dysgedicaf a'r talentau dysgleiriaf i ddod allan i wasanaethu Cymru trwy y wasg. Ni wna rhywbeth y tro: rhaid i Gymru gael hufen meddyliau ei phlant mwyaf athrylithgar; rhaid i'w llyfrau a'i chyhoeddiadau lenwi dyheadau dyfnaf ei chaion mewn gair, rhaid i len-I yddiaeth y dyfodol adlewyrchu nodwedd- j ion goreu y Cymro—cariad at ei iaith a'i wlad a'i hanes a'i henwogion a'i lien len- yddiaeth a'i chrefydd. "Ei goreu raid iddi gael, os yw Cymru yn meddwl bod yn well ac yn uwch ar ddiwedd y ganrif hon nag ydoedd ar ei dechreu; ac y mae y gwaith sydd o flaen y wasg yn y dyfodol yn fil- waith pwysicaoh ac anhawddachei gyf- lawni nag ydoedd pan ymddangosodd Geiriadur Charles—"seren foreu" llenydd- iaeth y bedwaredd ganrif ar bymtheg— yn gymaint a bod gwerin Oymru yn gwybod mwy ac yn alluog i ddarllen yn lied gyffredinol bellach y Saesneg yn gystal a'r Gymraeg. Ie, mawr yw y gwaith; ond credaf y cyfyd Rhagluniaeth ddyniou a fyddo i fyny a'r dasg ac y bydd llenyddiaeth y ganrif hon yn deilwng o. chwaeth lenyddol uchel y genedl a'i chyr- haeddi-idau addysgol a'i hargyhoeddiadau crefydd ol. GWEITHWYR EISOE3 AR Y MAES. Nid oes dim yn fwy calonogol na gweled dynion ieuainc dyso;edig Cymru yn ymgy- meryd ag ysgrif^a Ilyfrau Cymraeg, a gobeithio y bydu ami un o honynt yn mabwysiadu y wasg fel proiffeswriaeth ac yn rhoddi eu holl amser i lenyddiaeth. Ond rhaid argyhoeddi y cyhoedd o'u dy- ledswydd at lenyddiaeth; rhaid argraffu ar feddwl rhieni y pwysdgrwydd iddynt ofalu fod digon o lyfrau Cymraeg o bob natur yn nghyrhaedd eu plant; rhaid i'n cyfoethogion roddi mwy o'u nawddogaeth; a rhaid i bwyllgorau Llyfrgelloedd beidio dysgwyl i awdwyr anrhegu eu sefydliadau a phob llyfr newydd a gyhoeddir gan- ddynt. Felly y cedwir ysbrydiaeth 100- yddol yn fyw yn mysg y werin, ac y cym- hellir awdwyr i gyhoeddi llyfrau; a thra pery hyny, ni bydd ein oenedlaetholdeb mewn un perygl. O'r braidd y mae mil- oedd o Gymry yn sylweddoli fod un rhwymedigaeth arnynt i gefnogi llenydd-I iaeth Cymru, am y rheswm nad ydynt erioed wedi dychmygu mai hon yw y syl- faen ar ba un y mae'r holl adeiladwaith cenedlaethol yn gorphwys—tyner hon ymaith, ac fe syrth y cyfan i'r llawr yn garnedd. YSBRYD YR HEN LENORION HEB PARW. Er fod mwy o ddarllen yn awr nag erioed yn Nghymru, y mae'n amheus a yw nifer darllenwyr Cymraeg wedi cynyddu I yn gyfatebol i'r manteision sydd yn yr oes hon rhagor deng mlynedd ar hugain yn ol; o'r hyn lleiaf, nid yw y rhai sydd yn ymwneud a llenyddiaeth genedlaethol, hyny yw, heb fod o dan nawdd un enwad crefyddol, yn elfa fawr, os dim, er llafurio yn galed a phryderu llawer. Y mae Cymru, yn ol rhif ei phoblogaeth, ar y blaen yn ei chefnogaeth i lenyddiaeth; cyhoeddir mwy o lyfrau a chyhoeddiadau a newyddiaduron o'i mhewn nag yn un rhanbarth arall o'r byd a thelir dros dri chan' mil o bunnau yn flynyddol am danynt. Ond. fe fuasai gwagle ma.wr yn ein llenyddiaeth oni bae fod ysbryd yr hen gymwynaswyr llenyddol heb gwbl farw o'r tir—ni buasai genym yr un cy- hoeddiad cenedlaethol yn ymdrin a'n hanes a'n harwyr a'n cymeriadau hynotaf, ac yn hollol rydd oddiwrth bob cecraeth ac ymosodiadau personol. Dyma. ddywsd golygydd "Cymru" mewn atebiad i oheb- ydd yn rhifyn Hydref:- Nis gallaf roddi copiau o gyfres y fil yn rhad i'r llyfrgell a enwoo. Nid wyf wedi cael yr un ddimau erioed o elw ar gyhoeddi Ilyfrau Cymreig; a phe rhown gopiau, gwerid yr arian ddylesid roddi yn dal am danynt ar lyfrau Saesneg sy'n dwyn elw mawr i'w hawduron a'n cyhoeddwyr. Byddaf yn hoffi. ambell apel at fy ngwladgarwch, ond nid gan rai sydd heb yr awydd lleiaf i ddangos tipyn o wladgarwch en hunain. Yn sicr, dylai Cymru bellach fod uwchlaw hyn, a rhaid iddi fod hefyd, os myn fyw a dod yn ddylanwad yn rhinwedd ei theithi meddyliol a'i nhodweddion cyn- henid, a chael gan ei dysgedigion ymgy- meryd a'i gwasanaethu trwy y wasg. Dyma y man gwanaf arnom fel oenedl yn yr oes hon, a Cholegau Cenedlaethol ac Ysgolion Uwchraddol yn britho ein gwlad —difrawder at lenyddiaeth genedlaethol; a dyma y gallu mwyaf effeithiol i asio cenedl wrth ei gilydd ac i sicrha.u ei diogelwch a'i llwyddiant. FAINT WNA'N COLEGAU? Y mae hyn yn lied ddigalon, a dweyd y lleiaf, pan gofir faint mae Cymru wedi aberthu er mwyn codi a chynal y sefydl- iadau addysgol hyny, a rhaid fod rhyw- beth allan o'i Ie yn ein cyfundrefn o addysg uwchraddol. Ac onid yw y sylw canlynol o eiddo Mr. O. M. Edwards yn "Cymru" a.r ddyledBwydd y Bwrdd Canolog yn rhyw led-awgrymu hyny ?— Dylent, fel Bwrdd Cymreig, ddangos mwy o gydymdeimlad a'r ysbryd Cymreig a mwy 0 ddeheurwydd i'w dori'n nerth cenedlaethol, nag a fedr Swyddfa Bwrdd Addysg. Ond ai fell y bu? Y mae arholwyr Bwrdd Addysg gyda'r gwyr gaAluocaf yn Nghymru heddyw, yn siarad Cymraeg bron oil, ac yn eredu mewn addysgu Cymry fel Cymry. Faint o arolygwyr ac arholwyr y Bwrdd Canol sy'n Gymry, neu gydnabyddus ag anghenion a neillduolion y plant y maent yn arholi? Yr wyf yn credu y gallaf ddweyd mai lleiafrif bychan. Pe buasai rhyw fath o fywyd yn y Bwrdd, ni fuasai ysgolion Caernarfon ac Abergwaun, fel y maent yn awr, heb athraw fedr ddysgu i'r plant iaith eu gwlad eu hunain. Nid teimlad gwrth-Gymreig sydd yn gwneud i rai siroedd ddweyd fod yn well gan- ddynt Swyddfa Addysg na'r Bwrdd Canol. Ac nid yw y colegau yn meddu mymryn mwy o gydymdeimlad a'r ysbryd Cym- reig; ac nid ydys heb ofni nad troi yn wendid cenedlaethol i ni a wna yr holl sefydliadau hyn yn y diwedd. Dylent fod yn amddiffynfevdd, ac yn troi allan feib- ion a merched yn llawn cydymdeimlad a phobpeth Cymreig gwerth ei feithrtn a'i ddadblygu; ac, yn sicr, y mae llenydd- iaeth gwlad yn deilwng o nawddogaeth ei dyegawdwyr a'i dysgedigioin goreu. Os na ddaw tro ar fyA yn nglyn ag addysg uwchraddol, fe ddygwydd un o ddau beth —fe gyll y genedl ei hymddiried ynddynt ac fe a i edrvcTi arnynt fel ei gelynion penaf; neu, ynte, fe syrth yn ysglyfaeth iddynt ac fo ymwrthoda a'i hiaith a'i llen- yddiaeth a'i sefydliadau cenedlaethol, ac fe'i llyncir i fyny gan y Saeson fel na bydd n.wy son am dani ond mewn enw yn unig, fel ag y mae'n bresenol am yr Ysgotiaid a'r Gwyddelod—oenedloedd noethion heb feddu iaith lafaredig na. llenyddiaeth gylchredol. EIN HUN-IG OBAITH. Y mae dau gyfeiriad o ba un y dysgwyliwn lawer, sef yr awdurdod addysgol newydd a'r athrawon. Y mae cenedl gyfan—y genedl henaf a'r gyntaf a roddodd ei thrced i lawr ar yr Ynysoedd Prydeinig; y genedl ag y mae ei hanes yn mynd yn ol i foreu llwydwyn y Cread y genedl a osododd i lawr sylfeini yr Ym- erodraeth Brydeinig; y hono, meddaf, yn tynghedu Cynghorau Sirol tair sir ar ddeg Cymru i wneud eu dyledswydd yn y cyfwng pwysig presenol. a sicrhau fod iaith a llenyddiaeth a hanes Cymru yn cael eu lie yn yr addysg elfenol a gyfrenir yn yr ysgolion dyddiol y tala y trethdalwr Cymreig at eu cynal. Y mae'n dysgwyl llawer hefyd oddiwrth ei hathrawon, ac y mae'n rhyw ddirgel-gredu fod dosbarth newydd ar godi, ac y rhodd- ant bob chwareu teg i blant gwerin Cymru i ddadblygu eu talentau trwy eu goleuo am yr hyn na wyddant trwy'r iaith a wyddant ac a siaradant yn gyffredin yn mhob cylch o'u bywyd. Yr ydym wedi cael cenedlaethau o athrawon hollol wrtb- wynebol i ddysgu iaith a hanes Cymru; ac, efallai, mai ar y cynlhin o'u parotoi i'r swydd y mae y bai yn gorphwys. Fodd bynag, y mae'n amlwg fod yr athrawon eu hunain yn dechreu clod i daimlo eu dyled- swydd at fuddiannau iichar eu gwlad; ao ni chymerodd dim llai na 42 fantais ar yr Ysgol Haf Gymreig yn Ngholeg Aberyst- wyth yn ystod y gwyliau diweddaf. Bu y cwrs yn eithriadol o lwyddiannus, a chynelir ysgol gyffelyb yn Mangor y flwyddyn nesaf. Ceir ysgrif ddyddorol yn "Cymru" am y mis hwn yn rhoddi'r holl hanes gan Mr. D. James ("Defynog"), Porth, ysgrifenydd Cymdeitlias yr Iaith Gymraeg, a roddodd fod i'r meddylddrych ac a'i cariodd allan i weithrediad, yn nghyda darluniau da o amryw olygfeydd yn ardal Aberystwyth. Y mae gwaith pwysig o flaen athrawon Oymru a chyfrif- oldeb mawr yn gorphwys arnynt; gallant greu cenedl o'r newydd a chodi iddynt eu hunain gof- golofnau na chwelir mohonynt i ddi- wedd amser; neu, gallant, trwy ddifater- wch, esgeuluso cyflawni eu dyledswyddau a pheri i'w henwau gael eu melldithio holl ddyddiau'r ddaear. Ond gobeithio yr wyf y bydd i'r ddau a deugain hyn a fu yn Aberystwyth yn yr Ysgol Haf yn dysgu Cymraeg yru eiddigedd ar holl athrawon Cymru, ac y byddant yn rhifo cannoedd yn Mangor y flwyddyn nesaf. (-:0:- "CYMRU" HYDREF. Heblaw yr ysgrifau yr wyf wedi cyfeirio atynt yn barod, cynwysa y rhifyn hwn vsgrifau darllenadwy a dyddorol gan Faer Caerdydd—yr Henadur Edward Thomas; Dr. Cynhafal Jcnes, y Parch. D.

J. EIDDON JONES. Daeth llu o adgofion boreu oes i'm meddwl pan ddarllenais yn y newyddiad- uron am farwolaeth sydyn fy athraw cyntaf yn yr ysgol ddyddiol—y Parch. John Eiddon Jones, Bangor, gynt o Lan- rug; a dywedais, "Wel, os bu gwr erioed yn haeddol o gael mynd adref yn ddiboen, John Eiddon Jones oedd hwnw." Yr aedd mor ddinnved a'r oen; nis gallasai tvncud niwed i neb; ni welwyd gwg I jrioed ar ei wyneb; ac ni wyddai beth jedd natur ddrwg. Bum yn ei ddosbarth un o bedair i bum mlynedd pan oedd yn s-athraw yn fy hen dref; ac er ei tddfwynder a'i natur dda yn nghanol dos- jarth o fechgyn llawn nwyfiant a direidi, maml y cymerem un fantais arno; ac 08 gwnaem chwareu rhyw dric ag ef, y ni fyddai'n gofidio fwyaf am hyny, gan mor drugarog yr ymddygai atom ac mor barod a llwyr oedd ei faddeuant—pentyrai far- wor ar ein penau. Yr oedd rhyw naws ysbrydol yn ei bresenoldeb, a byddai ei geryddon bob amser yn cyffwrdd a'r galon; a chan yr attegid hyny gan ei gy- meriad glan a'i fywyd pur, yr oedd John meriad glan a'i fywyd pur, yr oedd John Eiddon Jones yn ystod ei arosiad yn "hen Ysgol Oapel" Dolgellau yn fwy o ddylan- wad er ffurfio cymeriad na neb o'i gyd- athrawoii. Er na chymerai ran mewn ohwareuon o un math, nid oedd neb llon- ach ei ysbryd; ni wyddai beth oedd prudd- glwyfni; ao y mae'n amheos a dynodd neb erioed fwy o fwyniant o ddyddiau ieuenctyd na John Eiddon Jones. Yr hyn a'i gwahaniaethai oddiwrth bawb arall ydoedd ei fod yn edrych o ddifrif ar fywyd a phobpeth perthynol iddo, a chyflawnai bobpeth fel pe buasai ei fywyd yn ymddi- bynu ar hyny; a dyna fu ei hanes trwy ei oos-fel efrydydd yn y Bala ac fel btigail a gweinidog ac fel ysgrifenydd Cymdeithas Ddirwestol Gogledd Cymru. Yr oedd yn feddiannol ar alluoedd meddyliol cryfion; yn ysgolhaig da; lienor Cymreig campus, fel y dengys ei amrywiol weithiau, megys Cofiant "leuan Gwyllt"; yn drefnydd di- gymhar; yn bregethwr cymeradwy; ac, uwchlaw y owbl, yn Gristion uwchlaw amheuaeth. HANES EI FARWOLAETH. Dyma fel y rhoddir hanes ei farwolaeth yn y papyrau: —Cymerodd dygwyddiad difrifol le yn Nghaernarfon prydnawn dydd Iau. Yr oedd cyfarfod o bwyllgor gweithiol Cymdeithas Ddirwestol Gogledd Cymru wedi cael ei alw yn ysgoldy capel Moriah, i'r am can o gario allan y pender- fyniadau a basiwyd yn nghyfarfod biyn- yddol y gymdeithas, yr hwn a gynaliwyd yn Abergele, rhyw bythefnos yn ol. Wedi i'r ysgrifenydd, y Parch. J. E. Jones, yr hwn a ymddangosai yn mwynhau ei iechyd arferol, osod y llyfr cofnodion, ac ysgrifau eraill, ar y bwrdd, dywedodd nad oedd yn teimlo yn dda; a gohiriwyd gweith- rediadau y pwyllgor am ysbaid. Perswad- iwyd Mr. Jones i fynd i orphwys ar wely mewn ty oedd yn ymyl y capel. Aeth Dr. Evans, Brynkinallt, Bangor, a Hywel Cefni, Penygroes, dau o aelodau y pwyll- gor, cyn pen ychydig funydau ar ei ol; ond pan aethant i'r ystafell, gwelsant ei fod wedi marw. O'r braidd yr oedd pum munyd wedi mynd' heibio o'r amser y gadawodd ystafell y pwyllgor hyd nes y dychwelwyd i hysbysu yr aelodau am ei farwolaeth. Cyrhaeddodd Dt. Williams yno yn union wedyn, ac nid oedd ganddo yntau dim i'w wnead ond cadarnhau y newydd prudd. Gohiriwyd gweithred- iadau'r pwyllgor yn ddioed, a phenodwyd Mrs. Charles Jones, Portnaethwy; Dr. Evans, Brynkinallt a Mrs. Davies, Caer- gybi, i fynd i Fangor yn ddioed i hysbysu Mrs. Jones am farwolaeth sydyn ei phriod. Oafodd gladdedigaeth anrhydeddus dydd Sadwrn, ao yr oedd yr awyddion cy- hoeddus a ddangosid o alar yn ddigon o bi-awf o burdeb bywyd a dylanwad cymer- iad yr ymadawedig. Dyiaswn fod wedi dweyd mai brodor o bentref bychan o'r enw Rhydymain, gerllaw Dolgellau, oedd John Eiddon Jones, ac yr oedd ei dad yn ddyn tra nodedig o hervvydd ei alluoedd meddyliol a'i dduwioldeb, a chafodd y fraint o godi mab i'w ddilyn yn yr un Ilwybrau ao i wasanaethu ei genedl mewn cylchoedd eangaoh.

CARDIFF PENSIONER ROBBED. At Cardiff Police-court on Tuesday William George Collins, 26, was charged, on remand, that on October 6 he feloniously stole two securities, viz., a naval life certificate and a. money-order, value in all £.3, the property of George Collins, from an envelope at the Marchioness Hotel, 276. Bute-street,.—Police- constable Chedsey again gave evidence, stat- ing that prisoner, when charged at the police- station, replied, I am not a scholar. I did not like to hand it back after I had opened it. I did not sign it. Another man signed it. Prosecutor, a. pensioner, who lives at times at the Workmen's Hotel, said he was in re- ceipt of L12 a. year pension, which was paid to him quarterly at the hotel. He expected his pension on October 1, and called for it on the 12th, and from something that was said to him at the hotel he went to the police. The life certificate produced was not his, nor was the signature his on the money-order produced.—James Morse, manager of the Workmen's Hotel, said that letters for guests were put up in the office window. Prosecutor stayed there only a few nights at a time, and was away early in October. On the 1st or 2nd of that month a letter arrived, addressed to George Oollins." It remained there three or four days, and then prisoner called for it, and pointed out the letter, which wit- ness handed to him. Witness asked prisoner how long he had been in the Army, and he replied, Ten years." He went away open- ing the envelope. Returning, he said he had L3 to draw, and knew he should have it." Subsequently he said he had tried to cash the order, but had failed, and he gave the papers to witness.—Prisoner was committed for two months.

Professor Winter gave the history of tb8 farm, which was founded in 1818. He plained that this was the only farm in Britain at which the work was not direcwf supported by the county fundi, and that this might be remedied. Lord Onslow, in the course o' an address referred to the suggestion mace to him W Lord Kenyon, as head of i respecting the cultivation of forestry, and sa,ul that this country annually inported ffolo foreign countries enormous ruantities timber, while raising timber fo* ocmÍnercial purposes in our own country was aim08, wholly neglected. A ooneiderabe number ot trees were planted here for ornament, bØ very little profit, and what wai planted fot profit was largely haphazard atd with little practical knowledge. It would amost indeed, that we had few peopb who really knew how to plant trees to ths best tage. Some large towns of England ha" sought in vain for expert advici as to how to lay out to the best advantage or tree-plan*' ing the large areas they had acquired for tb* purposes of collecting grounds or their wa-tef supply.

H Constipation. HH Languor and Nervousness* gS Cause B Digestion is the process by which food is prepared for absorption into the MH blood,—the only channel through which nourishment can be conveyed to all EH parts of the body. Failure on the part of the stomach, liver, and intestines, to H9 accomplish this dissolving work efficiently is called indigestion or dyspepsia and RH is always a serious disorder because it deprives the body and brain of the |n| material wherewith to replace the substance and energy consumed in the wear mS and tear of daily life. Food is the fuel that runs the engines of your life-but it BH must be digested. Undigested food is worse than useless,—it is dangerous. It R|' ferments in the stomach, generating noxious gases which poison the blood, Hj shatter the nerves and produce headaches, languor, sleeplessness, discomfort Hn after meals and all manner of distressing and dangerous disorders too numerous H9 to mention. Bai and Cure Eg Where from loss of tone, errors in diet, worry, climatic changes, overwork SB Or any other cause, your digestive organs have become impaired and food fails to nourish you as it should, all you need to make you strong and well again is a KM course of Mother Seigel's Syrup, the tonic of fruits, roots and herbs. Thirty HH drops, in a little water, taken daily after meals, will cleanse your system from H9 the impurities of indigestion and restore tone and vitality to your stomach, liver |B C)u and intestines. Then, with renewed power to digest and extract nourishment BM from food, will come the vigour and buoyancy of health, on which success and BB happiness in life so much depend. As a digestive tonic and stomachic remedy Mother Seigel's Syrup has no equal. It acts directly on the organs of digestion, EHt cleansing them from the impurities which clog their action, stimulating the' B| secretion of digestive juices and thus promoting the thorough digestion and assimilation of food essential to sound health. DM The Digestive Tonics "Sometime ago, I began to lose strength," says Mrs. Elzbth. Edwards, of Hackford, Norfolk. Everything was a burden to me. My appetite vanished and whatever I ate caused flatulence and pain at the stomach. Hardly a day passed that I was not racked with splitting headaches. Specks would form before my eyes, and I was so dizzy at times that I could not stand. I was under medical treatment for a year, and for sixteen weeks was confined to bad, but seemed to get worse rather than better. On the advice of neighbours I tried Seigel's Syrup, and began to pick up almost at once. My appetite and strength came back and soon I was as well as ever. I shall never cease to recommend Seigel's Syrup, for I feel sure it saved my life." I have great pleasure in telling bB you of the good your Mother Seigel's Hj Syrup has done me," says Miss M. H| Knight, 17, Grove Rd., Chertsey. I BB used to suffer terribly from indigestion Etta and biliousness. It began with severe Kg pain after food, accompanied by wind. Kg I was hardly ever free from side- headache and always felt languid and ||3 drowsy. All this interfered greatly with Kg my work as a dressmaker and I did all pj§| I could to shake it off, but it was no »| use. At last I thought I would try R| Seigel's Syrup. Well, it did me no end B| of good. The stomach-pain and head- He aches soon ceased and I began to feel P^| quite bright again. As I continued G9 with the medicine the biliousness quite BS1 left me and now I am in the best of In health, but I always keep Seigel's Syrup H by me in can of need." KB SEIGEL'S; )t)t SYRUP I t
