." She lived some years in Colorado, where her life
brought to her notice the wrongs done the Indians. In their defense she
wrote "A Century of Dishonor," The last book she wrote is "Ramona," an
Indian romance, which she hoped would do for the Indian what "Uncle
Tom's Cabin" had done for the slave. Mrs. Jackson died in California in
1885.

"MERCEDES" is the pen name of an able, zealous, and devoted Sister
of one of our great Teaching Communities. She has written several
excellent "Plays" for use in Convent Schools which have met the test of
successful production. Her "Wild Flowers from the Mountain-side" is a
volume of Poems and Dramas that exhibit "the heart and soul and faith of
true poetry." A competent critic calls these "Wild Flowers sweet, their
hues most delicate, their fragrance most agreeable." Mercedes has also
enriched the columns of _The Missionary_ and other publications with
several true stories, in attractive prose, of edifying conversions
resulting from the missionary zeal of priest and teacher. Her graceful
pen is ever at the service of every cause tending to the glory of God
and the good of souls.

MOORE, THOMAS, was born in the city of Dublin, Ireland, in the year
1779, and was educated at Trinity College. His matchless "Melodies" are
the delight of all lovers of music, and are sung all over the world.
Archbishop McHale of Tuam translated them into the grand old Celtic
tongue. Moore is the greatest of Ireland's song-writers, and one of the
world's greatest. As a poet few have equaled him in the power to write
poetry which charms the ear by its delightful cadence. His lines display
an exquisite harmony, and are perfectly adapted to the thoughts which
they express and inspire. His grave is in England, where he spent the
later years of his life, and where he died in 1852. In 1896, the Moore
Memorial Committee of Dublin erected over his grave a monument
consisting of a magnificent and beautiful Celtic cross.

York. He died in 1863.

MORRIS, GEORGE P., poet and journalist, wrote several popular
poems, but is remembered chiefly for his songs and ballads. He was born
