U Yn nyddiau Howel Harris a'r diwygwyr ereill yr oedd dyfodoF Cymru yn deg, y cymyiau yn graddol gilio o'i hawyr, y wlad yn dechreu troi yn ardd nodeuog; end Ow! mor siomedig y trodd pethau. Petai'r genedl wedi gtynu'n unig wrth y Duw a gyhoeddid o bwlpud LIangeitho, m cheid gwlad yn Ewrop tanach, a harddach, a. rb.yddach, a chynawnach, na'n gwlad ni; end mynodd y genedl dduw newydd; a byth er pan Mygwyd pen i'r Enwad Mawr, ac yr ymgysegr- odd gwyr i byrwyddo t}ùddianau'r duw hwn, mae'r dirywiad wedi dod-dirywiad nas gall y deffroad cenedlaethol presendl mo'i atal. Mae hyd yn oed apostolion y Deffroad i gyd broil yn plygu pen i'r Enwad Mawr, ac yn ceisio cyfuno hawliau Cymru a hawliau'r Duw Newydd. Dru- ain o honynt! mae pob moment a wastreffir oddeutu aJIorau pwdr y duw hwn yn foment sy'n prysuro dinystr y wlad. Yn yr ysgrif hon bwriadwn edrych yn ddirag- farn ar sefyllfa Cymru yn awr, a cheisiwn ateb y gofyniad syml a gonest: Sut wlad yw? Os yw'r atebiad yn dangos duwch y genedl, coner hyn o hyd, mai'r Duw Newydd sy'n gyfrifot am y cwbI. Yr Enwad Mawr sydd yn gyfrifol am anen- did y Wasg, am dwyll yr Eisteddfod, am was- eidd-dra ein gweithwyr, am yr erlid ar ddyn. ion da, am leihad crefydd a marweidd-dra ein gwyliau enwadol, ac am y malais a'r cenfigenu tragwyddol sy'n anurddo'r cymeriad cenhed!- aetho!. Mae cenfigenu wrth bawb ond eu cyd- addolwyr yn un o nodweddion cyntaf gwyr y Duw Newydd, ac y mac hyny'n eu'eitbio ar fywyd moesol ac ar syniadau crefyddwyr y gened!. Mae'r culni hagr sydd rhwng yr en- wadau yn cynyrchu oerfelgarwch a difrawder crefyddol, ac yn gwneyd i "bobl y byd" wawdio micreg <fug-grefyddwyr. Tyf yr ymlid a'r meU- (:l'"bion parhaus sydd yn dilyn dynion da. yng Nghymru oddiar yr un boncyn; ac wrth gyftogi a tLa.!u a gwneyd ffafrau i weithwyr yn o! 2U heuwad, meithnnir gwaseidd-dra ac ofn Uwfr. Nid oes befyd well cynllun ar y ddaear i ben cynydd yn nhwyfl yr Eisteddfod nag i wyr yr Erwad Mawr feimiadu a gwyr yr Enwad Mawr ddn'byn y gwobrau. Beth hefyd sy'n cyfrif am y y¡,;bWl-i,ll atbrodot sy'n IIychwino ambell bwt o newyddiadur geir yn Husgo'i hun o bentref i bentref yn cm gwlad, end yr ysbryd a roir ymnawb o'i addolwyr gan y duw dieithr di- egwyddor hwtt! Mae'r byadycbu, y haeddu, y Ilysnafeddu sydd hyd ddatenau'r Wasg Gymreig, i gyd yn eo'Ji'n uniongyrchol o'r pydew anan sydd wrth droed allor y Duw Newydd. Ond sut wlad yw Cymru ? Gwlad y gan, gwlad y menyg gwynion, gwlad yr eisteddfodau, gwlad y rhamantau anfarwot, gwlad y gymanfa grefyddol, gwlad y beirdd, y teiynau, a'r bryniau—O! .gymaint o enwau prydfertb sydd ar Gymru, gymaint o swyn sydd ynddi i'w phlant, yn gyffredin, Pwy ninodd ei chanmol M Iwyfan eisteddfod ? pwy na. wylodd y;.t ddystaw wrth gofio beddau ei thywysogion? pwy na fu'n barod i lindagu pawb o'i henllib- wyr? Mae ei thelynegion yn fel diferol i'w rbianod; ei hemynau yn adnodau banner ys- brydoledig i'w chrefyddwyr: ei halawon yn <vefr i'w chantorion; a'i glendid c!w? yn desiyn cerdd dragwyddol i bob bardd o'i mewn; ond ei bpiau gwrthun hefyd yn been dirhwr i bob gw!adgarwr. Gwn am degwch dySrynoedd Cymru, am aruthredd sanctfddd ei mynyddau, am aruchel- edd ei chan, am feluster eryf ei chywyddau, am gyfrinedd a naturioldeb perffaith ei Mabinog- ion, am onestrwydd ei phwipud, a gwn hefyd o.m waseidd-dra. atgas ei pHant, am ffolineb ei heisteddfod, am bydredd ei gwasg am ofidiau ei dlwygwyr, am felldith ei henwadaeth, ac am Z!1 genfigen faleisus a brad y natur Gymreig. Gall beirdd gann i'r wlad, a,'i chlodfori yn eu caneuon; ond wrth wneyd rhaid anwybyddu !!awer teimlad cryf sydd ynddyat yn ei chon- demm. Canmolant ei meusydd Modeuog, ei gwyryfon, et thelyn, ei chymanfa, ei chwedt- oneg, a dewrder ei hyna&aid; ond, yr unpryd, y mae pigyn yn y fron,-nme yna lu o bethau yn eu calon sy'n cael eu treisio gan y folawd. D'wed eu oydwybodau wrthynt mai cenedl drahaus, ragnthiot, ajtghynawn, genngentlyd, wasaidd, yw cenedl y Cymry,—cened! yn twyHo ei bun ddydd yr eisteddfod,—cenedl yn tynu gwyneb hir, duwio!, ddydd y Sassiwn fa.wr, ac yn croeshoelio ei hefengylwyr ar ot i'r Sasiwn fynd heibio—cenedl yn bostio wrth son am ei menyg gwynion a'i dwylaw glan, a'r un wyth- nos yn IIusgo ei newyddiaduron trwy domenau enllib, ac yn poeri i w3-neTi ei cbymwynaswyr,— cenedl yn canmol ei chewri un diwmod,a thran- oeth yn tluchio huddug am ben eu dil!ad,— cenedl yn bardd i werHm egwyddor am gildwrn, yn rhoi ei Nafrau i ddynion yn ot eu henwad- aeth, ac yn Hyfu dwytaw ei gormeswyr. Trisi. yw gorfod dadlenu, ond tristach yw gorfod coelio y gwir yn erbyn y 6yd Cymreig. Onid yw'r paragraff hwn o'r "Bardd Cwsg" yn ddar' lun perffaitb o rediad pethau yn ein gulad:- "Os gwr mawr, dyna wemaeth a chenngen ar ei ladd; os tiawd, hwdiwch bawb i'w saethu a'i ddiystyru. Os mynni godi, dyro dy fryd aj- fyn yn ddyfeisiwr; os myni barch, bydd ffrost- iwr neu rodreswr. Os byddi duwiol, yn cyrchu i'r eglwys a'r allor, gelwir di'n rhagrithiwr; os peidi, dyna di'n anghrist neu'n heretic. Os Mawen fyddi, gelwir di'n wawdiwr; os distaw gelwir di'n gostog gwenwynl!yd. Os dilyTU onestrwydd, nid wyt ti ond nwl diddeunydd. Os trwsiadus, baleh; os nad e. mochyn. Os llyfn d} leferydd, dyna di'n ffals neu'n ddyiliryn an- hawdd dy ddirnad; os ganv, cythraul trahaus anghydfod." Nid ar antur y tynodd Elis Wyn y darlun hwn. Dyna oedd ucbaf ar ei feddwl ae hawddaf ei ysgrifenu, oblegyd mai dyna oedd gerbron ei lygaid yn ei wTad ei hun o hyd. Yr un yw hanes Cymru i raddau ymhob cyfnod, ma.e'n debyg; ond ni fu'r geiriau ucbod erioed y. fwy gwir nag y maent ar nyn o bryd. Mae ei brad ar hyd y canrifoedd wedi peri i'w Hen- yrch wrido gan waed ei dewrion, ac wedi tori ffosydd 1 gladdu ei gwroniaid; mae ei S&lster wedi *&od yn fsgl iddi ezioed, a cheapen a checraeth yn pydru swyn Uawer o'i chywydd&u: mae anudon ac athroj yn wenwyn yn ei gwaed, o nwyddyn i nwyddyn: ac mae ei serch at ramant ayml wedi ymollwng i fod yn gariad an- ttad at gmeh-ebwedleuacti.

North) David Davies and Henry Williams were charged with burglariously entering the shop of Messrs Edwards, jewellers, Perrott street, Treharris. <md etealing there- from a quantity of watches and jewellery on the 18th September. John Edwards, jeweller, Treharris, stated that on the early morning of the 18th ult. his shop was broken into by the back window, and watches and jewellery to the value of JB250 were stolen.

FIRE AT LLANWONNO. Shortly before Boon on Friday a serious out- break of 6re occurred at a farmhouse on Llan. wonno mountain. The Fire Brigade, under the direction of Lieutenant Tom Gulp, soon arrived on the scene, and it was then found that a. large barn, containing from three to four tons of hay, had been gutted, the roof having fallen in upon the hay. Water was soon pumped upon it from a stream in the vicinity, although nothing could be done to save the barn, the efforts made were successful in preventing the spread of the fire to the hayricks which were situated close by. It is supposed the fire was caused by tramps lying on the hay and accidentally or otherwise igniting it with matches. The dimculty of deal- ing with the conflagration was increased by the fact that the farm is in an isolated position, with a tremendous climb to reach it from Ponty- pridd, over Omigwen Rill. Splendid assistance was rendered by numbers of willing hands who volunteered to help the few members of the ? brigade who hf4 been ?ot tog?er.
