SAINT PATRIcK.-We take the following
notes respecting the life of this celebrated
saint from the Encyclopedia Britannica, pub.
lished in 1852
" St. Patrick, the apostle and second Bishop
of Ireland, is supposed to have been born in
the year 373, at kirkpatrick, near Dunbar
ton in Scotland. Forming the design of con-
verting the Irish, he made himself master of
their language, an repairing to the conti-
nent to study for the ministry, was ordained
deacon by st. Martin, Bishop of Tours, and
ordained priest by ST. German, Bishop of
Auxerre. Pope Celestine then consecrated
him bishop, named him Patricus or Patrick
and gave him a commission to evangelize the
Irish. He reached Ireland in the year 432,
and proceeded to convert and baptize the ma
tives, and laboured indefatigably for seven
years in this great work. He then visited
the Isle of Man, which he converted in the
year 440. He returned to Ireland again in the
year 44S and in Is years more, the conver-
sion of the whole island was completed. At
ter having established schools and monasteries
he closed his life in the l20th year of his age,
in the year 493, and was buried at Downs,
(now Down-patrick) in the same grave with
St. Bridget and St. Columbia.

The Empress and the Veteran.

A letter from Berlin relates the following
interesting anecdote:
few days ago, hale old man. in a
PEASANTS costume, but decorated with sew
erai orders and crosses, was seen to ascend a
nlgnt OF steps leading to the terrace of the
palace OF Sans Souci. A sentinel .posted
there stopped him, informing him that he
could not be allowed to go further. as the
palace was inhabited by the Empress of Rus
sia
Why, that's the very reason I must 20
on, " replied the veteran, sturdily.
An alteration ensued, which was inter
rupted by the arrival of Colonel Count Won
Alvesleben, first equerry to the Empress. who
asked what was the matter. The old man
replied that he had walked nine German
miles to see the Empress before his death. he
having saved her in her youth from waterv
grave. On learning this, the Count bade
him wait, and ON informing the Empress of
the occurrence, was ordered to introduce him.
The veteran approached the Empress with a
firm step, and said: I" l recognize her well.
though she is much changed" He then re.
minded her Majesty of an occurrence which
took place in 1906, in the park of Charlotter-
burg, where the late King used to pass the
summer, living in the style of a private gen
tleman. The Empress of Russia, then Prin-
cess Charlotte, and only seven years of age.
was one day playing near the ornamental
piece of water, called the Carp basin, with
her little sister, Princess Alexandrina. and
her brother, Prince Charles, whom she was
drawing along in Bath chair, in which ex-
crcise she happened to 60 rather too near the
waters edge. A young guardsman on duty
not far off called to her, warning of her dam
ger, but in ,-ain the little Princess laughed
at her adviser, and continued to draw the
Bath chair close to the brink. The soldier,
on seeing this, stepped forward, held his
sword before her, and cried-' Haltr'
The Princess, in a fright, stepped back,
slipped, and fell into the water. The sentinel
instantly plunged in after her, got her safely
out, and dragging the go-cart along with him,
Princess Alexandria running by his side and
wet as she was, to Queen Louisa, who was
sitting before her palace, reading. The Queen
on learning what had happened, bent over
her child, took from her neck small medal
lion containing lock of her (the Queen's)
hair, and gave it to the guardsman The
medallion the veteran now showed to the EN-
press, who Immediately recol.ectipg the oc-
currence, with deep emotion reauostsd him
to restore to her the medallion with her mo-
theirs hair; and turning to Princess Gagarine,
her lady of honor, detached her own por-
trait, set with diamonds ian ornament which
the ladies ofthe Russian court generally wear
as mark of special affection) from the bosom
of that lady, and gave it to the old guards

Society I'm Charleston.

The following is an extract from the Charles
ton correspondence of the New York Tribune:
''Society here, as in other parts of the
world, consist, first, of the creme de la creme;
of the high-tory Faubourg St. Germain, in
cluding those descendants of the earliest
British and Huguenot settlers who have at
tanned to wealth and influence. The old
gentlemen of that class are the venerable
Knickerbockers of Charleston; but just now
they are electrified by the unusual spirit Of
patriotic enthusiasm. These families supply
society with the most stately and fascinating
bellies, and the most valiant and dashine
beaux; they are distinguished from the So
cial clique beneath them by great simplicity
and urbanity of manner derived from their
greater confidence in their position.
The old gentlemen planters are particularly
modest and unassuming, and yet shrewd
withal, resembling in that respect the Ba-
rings of London and great capitalists gene.
rally, and endeavor by their kindness Of de-
pertinent to atone, as it were, for the crush
ing magnitude of their wealth. This best
class of society combines with some of the
sharp and shrewd element of the present civ
ilization many of the more beautiful features
of the earlier years of South Carolina life ;
and beneath all the conflicting feelings of the
hour, and the terrorism of self-preservation
runs fine thread of elevation of department,
giving on the whole the impression that this
class of society constitutes the real gentry of
the country, possessing comparatively little
intellectual taste, but much of the best innate
refinement.
Next to this best class of society come the
usual cliques of all sorts of people whose
wealth and refinement permit them to mingle
with their social superiors. Military men
marrying generally from inclination, their
wives are generally taken from the unweal-
thy classes, and in many instances present,
in their modest appearance, striking con-
trast to the stately mistresses of the planta-
tions; yet both associate here freely and
pleasantly. Among educated people here
there is a generosity and an absence of mar
rowness in social relations which contrasts
favorably with the North. Even above the
richest planter stands the gifted statesman,
and the skillful officer and man of science
and literature are greatly honored. The
circle of the old historical families includes
many of the present members of the Legisla-
ture and the Government, and now presents
combination of political and social interest
equaled only by Washington in its palmy
days."

Good and Better.

A father sat by the chimney-pos
On a winters day, enjoying roast;
By his side a maiden young and fair,
A girl with wealth Of golden hair;
And she leases the father, stern and cold,
With a question of duty trite and old:
"Say, father, what shall q maiden do
When a man of merit comes to WOO?
And, father, what of this pain in my breast?
Married or single-which is the best?"
Then the sire of the maiden young and fair,
The girl of the wealth of golden hair,
He answers as ever do fathers cold,
To the question of duty trite and old:
"She who weddeth keeps Gods letter;
She who weds not, doeth better"
Then meekly answered the maiden fair,
The girl with the wealth of golden hair:
" Il will keep the sense of the Holy Letter,
Content to do peH without doing better"

nPIckINGs AND STEALINes. The Wash
ington correspondent of the New Orleans
Delta tells the following:
"a waggish member of Congress asked a
high official, who was ridiculing the Govern
ment of South Carolina, to tell him the differ
ence between that government and the Govern
ment of the United States. The Congressman,
being requested to answer his own question,
s,id the one was Government of Pickens,
while the other was Government of steal
ings. The official disappeared.

SrEREoeRAPHs OF BArlLss.-Dr. Holmes,
in his scientific contributions &c late Allan
tic Monthly, says the next European war
will send us stereographs of battles. 1t is
asserted that bursting she'll can be photo
graphed. The time is perhaps at hand when
fash of light, as sudden and brief as that
of lightning, which shows whirling wheel
standing stock still, shall preserve the very
instant Of the shock Of the contact of the
mighty armies that are even now gathering.
Tho lightning from heaven does actually
photograph natural objects on the bodies of
those it has just blasted-so we are told by
many witnesses. The lightning of the clash
ing sabres aud bayonets may be forced to
stereotype itself in stiffness as complete as
that Of the tumbling tide of Niagara as we
see it self-pictured.
