following from some remarks no the Calendar, mads

ti+er :—" May 19.—St. Dunstan, according to the
Human Calendar. This famous Englishman and
Churchman was born of 'wide parents, near Glas-
tonbury, in Sousersetshire. He was educated in the
the famed abbey of Glastonbury, enjoyed the
patronage of his uncle, Archbishop of Canterbury,
and was hy him introduced to the court of the
reigning King, Athelstau. Dunstan possessed •
comprehensive mind, ilanng spirit, indorni-
talilo resolution, and such energy of purpose,
and pursued his obiecta with such untiring
perseverance, that while they raised him to • saint-
ship in the Homan Church they have canoed hini to
lie considered little less than a demon or madman by
many Protestant historians. At a very early age be
embraced a monastic life, and became • monk of
Glastonbury, where he gained • reputation for his
skill in the manual arta then practised by the in-
mates of c'invents, such an the manufacture of

legend generally believed for many centuries, aa to
tire the jealously of that renowned handicraft, the
devil, who visited him one day whilst he was beady
engaged in the oinking of a chalice, and so annoyed
him by his personal appearance and temptations,
that Dunstan suddenly seised the foe by the nose
with a pair of iron tongs, burning but, and so held
him by the noes till he roared and eneel till the
night was far spent, hence the old ditty com-
mencing :
