Anniversaries-No. S.

For various reasons, these series of
articles have been suspended. To
make amends in some measure, we
shall commence where No. 4 left off,
and take up the more prominent events
of which anniversaries have TRANSFERRED
during the interim
Sunday, Nuch l7.-This is suppos-
ed to be the anniversary Of St. Pat
rick's birth day. 1t is related by some
that he was born either on the 8th or
9th Of March, near the close of the 4th
century, and died in 1873. a dispute,
since his death, arose rs to what day
was the rightful anniversary some
claiming it to be the 8th, and some the
9th, and on this question two factions
were formed, and gu arrels cnsued on
account Of this difference in belief. At
length, it was agreed to leave the Ques-
ton to high dignitary Of the Church
to decide. Unable to do so, he never
theiess proposed a compromise by ad-
ding the two numbers together, making
it the 18th. And thus the birthday of
the Patron Saint of ireland has been
fixed. ST Patrick was born in Brita-
ny, and III his youth was carried to Ire
land by some frcebooters, and employ
ed in keeping sheep. Pursuing this
vocation for years, he relates in his
Confessions that he was moved by Wis
ions to undertake the conversion Of the
Irish to Christianity. Overcoming for
midable obstacles, he preached the
Christian doctrine among them, making
many converts lie established church.

Legend has it that he also banished

aheth of England died She was born
IN 1888, and was the daughter of Hen
ry VIII. She was highly educated in
the principles Of the Reformation
While her haIf-sister, Mary, was queen
of England, (who was Catholic of the
''strictest sect,") she was immured in
the Tower because of her known at
tachment to Professionalism. On the
death Of Mary, in 1853, she was imme-
dlately proclaimed Queen, and receiv-
ed in London with the loudest accIama-
tons. With moderation and prudence
she commenced the restoration of Eng
land to Professionalism, which had been
discountenanced by the authorities
since the reign of her vaScillating faith
er. She was soon regarded as the head
of the Protestant party in Europe
Her government gradually grew more
rigorous against the Catholicism con
sequence of the mischievious and inces-
SAINT intrigues Of the popish party, both
at home and abroad, to overthrow it
The assistance given by Elizabeth to
the Protestants of the Low Countries

THE PLEASANT B

This is a very pleasant world and very pleasant
ly made, curiously contrived indeed, to keep life
wide awake until we Ground it with a Sleep"
There is an arrangement effected in the last way
in the world we mortals should have thought Of
just by rolling the globe over and over. OF course
we mean day and night-the lights and shadows
of life's fair perspective. Aside from the necessi-
ty we feel. of that almost dying now and then, We
christen "sleep," what could possibly afford a
grander series of surprise than the alterations Of
night or day.
Day Nothing but q lighted ves.ibule 10 some
thing we know not what. Night: a short, dim
ball that leads US to another. And on We go,
through this grand suit Of brilliant chambers with
shadowy passage ways between, until We have ex-
plored this Wonderous castle Of our mortal being.
What if il were one great, unbroken day; how
dull 'twould grow in life's long afternoon. How
like q Monday would existence bel Nothing
made over new no twilight TO muse in no dawn
ing to await no TO- morrow to dream Of, or to hope
for no surprise to quicken thought and heart, but
Just a steady blaze Of day-an Arabia the Rocky
without an "Araby the Bless."
For our part we are glad We are ignorant glad
we are not utiqaitous we would not have 'tht
wings of the morning" If we could. This opening
and shutting of doors all through the world pleas
es us. IL is a poem without a predatory ''argu
msnt - a play without a programme Were liz
aud action ''laid out" then life aud action woul;
be a corpse. and all We mourner would Ego abou
the streets"

MAKE HOME BRIGHT AND PLEASANT

More than building snowy mansions,
More than dress and fine array,
More than domes and lofty steeples,
More than station, power or sway
Make your home both neat and tasteful,
Bright and pleasant, always fair,
Where each heart hal rest contented,
Grateful for each beauty there.
More than lofty swelling titles,
More than fashions lurid glare,
More thar Mammon's gilded honors,
More than thoughts can we'll compare
See that home is made attractive
By surroundings pure and bright,
Trees, arranged with taste aud order,
Flowers, with all their sweet delight.
Seek to make your home most lovely
Let it be a smiling spot,
Where, in sweet c%ontentment resting,
Care and sorrow are forgot;
Where the flowers and trees are waving,
Birds will sing their sweetest song;
Where the purest thoughts will linger,
Confidence and love belong.
There each heart will rest contended,
Seldom wishing far to roam,
Or, ic roaming, still will cherish
Mem'ries of that pleasant home.
Su Oh home makes man the better (;
Pure and lasting it's control
Home, with pure and bright surroundings,
Leaves it's impress on the soul.
