[Mr. GOL -]

Dydd Marwth diweddaf, ymwelodd eich gohebydd âg ysgoldy Brytanaidd y Glanmorgan Coal Co., Llwynypia. Cefais y croeswiad mwyaf, twymgar gan yr ysgolfeistr. Cymro o waed coch cyfan ydyw Mr. Thomas D. John, mab yr hen gerddor enwog Mr. David John, Aberdar. Y mae Thomas John, yn gerddor campus fel ei dad. Y mae yn ddigon o dal runrhryw ddyn sydd yn hoff o ganu i fyned i'r ysgoldy uchod i wrando ar leisiau swynol y plant yn canu pob math o donau, y rhai a ddysgir iddynt gan eu hathraw galluog. Yn ddiweddar, y mae ein cyfaill wedi credu yn hen ddiareb Gymreig, 'fod dau yn well nag un,' ac yn wir daeth i'r un teimlad a'ch gobehydd, sef mai

Gwell i ddyn golli'i ddanedd, - a'i ben,
Na byw heb ymgeledd,
A rhywfo mewn dull rhyfedd
Ei hun heb un bun i'r bedd.

Y mae Mr. John yn enwog iawn fel ysgolfeistr o'r radd flaenaf; rhifa ei ysgolheigion tua 350 o nifer, y rhai yn ol deall eich gohebydd, sydd yn ysgolheigion da iawn i gyd ar y cyfan. Dymunwn bob lwyddiant i Mr. John a'i briond serchoglawn tra ar y blaned isloerawl, ac wedi hyny i feddianu un o etifeddiaethau y Cristion yn y byd a ddaw,

Rhoddwn yn llon ar bob pryd
Barch lle y dylai parch fod;
Dysgwn edmygu o hyd
Ddynion rhin weddol o nod.

Cewch ysgrif eto mor fuan ag y hydd i bethau ddyfod i drefn.

Yr eiddoch yn gywir, Uthr Wyon, Tonypandy.

[Dear SIR -]

Last Tuesday, your correspondent visited the British schoolhouse of the Glanmorgan Coal Co., Llwynypia. I had the most warm, welcoming welcome from the schoolmaster. Mr. Thomas D. John, son of the famous old musician Mr. David John, Aberdare, is a red-blooded Welshman. Thomas John is a fine musician like his father. It is enough to catch any man who likes to go to the schoolroom above to listen to the charming voices of the children singing all kinds of tunes, taught to them by their able teacher. Our friend has recently believed in an old Welsh dialect, 'that two are better than one,' and indeed he came to the same feeling as your hopeer, that

Better for a man to lose his thigh, - and his head,
Don't live without care,
And sex in a strange way
Himself without a single bun to the grave.

Mr. John is very famous as a first-class schoolmaster; his scholars number about 350 in number, those according to your correspondent's understanding, who are generally very good scholars. We wish Mr. John and his affectionate prodigy every success while on the sublime planet, and thereafter to occupy one of the Christian's inheritances in the world to come,

We give happily at every meal
Respect where respect should be;
We still learn to admire
Gentlemen of quite a goal.

I will write again as soon as things get in order.

Yours faithfully, Uthr Wyon, Tonypandy.
