The age Of sixteen-he was seized
by soms irish marauders and sold as
a slave iii Ireland. After FIVE or six
years Of captivity he escaped from
bis masters apd returned to the land
of bis nativity. Having started on
a journey to France, in a few months
afterwards, he was again captured by
tie Picts and carried off by pirates
and sold at Bordeaux as slave
When he obtained bis freedom he
turned bis attention to study, and
entered monastery and becama a
monk. He spent seven years III
France and Italy, and was at the
latter place ordained a priest. But
his desire for the conversion of the
Irish would not allow him to remain
in any other work. Hencein the year
432, at the advanced ege Of fiity-fve,
he landed on tae coast Of Ireland
and commenced bis missionary labors
in Lagenia, province in the northern
part of the island. His success as a
missionary mas very great, and his
labors we're very onerous. 1t IS said
that for several years he travelled on
foot from place to place, Slept on the
ground, and toiled incessautly to- es-
!ablish Christianity in every part OF
Ireland. He made several Journeys
TO Rome, to obtain from the Pope
persons to assist him 10 the mission
ary cause. When he had become
inlirm from age and excessive toll,
it is said that even then ''he preached
daily, superintended the affairs Of

formed every duty yofa good shepherd
Worn onteNith age and toll, he died
about A. d. 460, at the age Of eighty
three" He is said to have erected
during his lifetime 365 churches,
consecratsd about as many bishops,
and to have ordained about 5000
priests.

A few nights since as tvo Office,

A few nights since as two officers
were going their rounds in Cinein.
natl, they heard sounds of tumuit
aud di. order, proceeding from hog
pen in an alley. Upon examination.
they discovered that the pen was oc-
cupitd by seven human beings. who
had placed themselves on a level
With the hogs, and taken possession OF
their quarters. Three Of these were
children. the Others two mon and two
women, who, it was evident. were
guarding together, and tso or three
tie worse sor liquor. There was no
flooring to the pen, which was filthy
and muddy as any hog could well de-
sire. In one corner was stove and
a large chest--iu another was blan-
ket spread upon the ground, and
this constituted all the furniture
The officers learned that the psrlies
had occupied the pen for the last
month. They took into custody
those apparently intoxicated, leaving
the others, who appeared to be sober,
IN company with the children, in
the pen. until better quarters could
be provided them.
