great chieftain fell in love with his beautiful
slave but his wife was jealous, and drove her
ont of the house to wander rs beggar till he9
child was born.
And thus the holy men found her, standing
apart In the crowd. with her sweet sad face
and the baby pressed to her bosom. They
spoke words OF comfort to her taught her,
gave her money and when the villagers asked
what they could do to be saved, they answer
ed ..Befriend this stranger for Christ said,
what We do for the least of these, We have done
it unto me. - They baptized the poor yoman
and her child, and named the little girl Bridget
or Brigida. Bridget grew mp as beautiful La. e
than the barbarous Irish, SO that she soon be-
came famous in the land. Her father, hearing
of her charms, made her come home and live
with him in state and was very proud OF her.
After time. Budgets father wished hef TO
marry . neighboring chief. but she would not
hear of marriage. She had resolved TO spend
her life In serving God and the poors IN order
TO carry ont her plan, she, went % live in a sol
itary place-an oak grove that had been dedi-
Gated to heathen gods. DHdicating her tenn
pie now to the, one true God this gentle wo-
man called around her all 1be nignOrant and

Till she came to be looked upon as q saint 1t
was believed that her touch would heal The
SICK, ana restore sight to the blind. Wisdom
often gives sight to the blind, and the touch Of
kindness win often heal the sick. N uf
Such was Bridget's fame for holiness and
power, that vast crowds gathered about her,
and built themselves huts and cells in the
neighborhOod of the oak grove, that they
might be always near her voice. Many women
particularly. went TO live with the saint, and
Joined in her life and labors. Thus arose the
first female convent in Ireland. Says Mrs.
jameson: Kildare, tho cell, or place of the
oak became afterwards one of the most
celebrated converts and most fiourshiug cit
les in Ireland. Here was preserved unextin
guished, for many centuries, the sacred lamp
which burned before st. Budgets shrine. In
London, the name of st. Bridget survives in the
beautiful church of st Bride in Fleet street,
and the palace near the Prison of Brdewell.
She tlourished about A. D. 500. -g;s 90
Most ofthe fine old churches tn st. Patrick
and st. Bridget which were scattered over Ire
land. were destroyed in the time of the Puri-
tans. They were Roman Catholic saints. and
everything Romish was hated. But there is
no hatred SO fierce, and no army so strong as
to destroy the memory of good deeds. And to
this day, thousands on thousands of humble
women as they press their little ones to their
bosoms on the way TO the altar, breathe fer
vent blessing upon the name of Patrick or
Bridget. G 8. w.,

PRECAUTIONARY MEASURES.

similar game here, the authorities very ju.

On special patrol duty. The guards at the diff
ferent Government warehouses and shops were
increased, and every precautionary measure
taken to battle any attempt at incendiarism.
Guards and patrols are now on duty at all
the public buildings and workshops, and every
suspicious individual found lurking around
will be taken into custody. A detail of mill
tary officers has been made for the purpose of
inspecting the guards daily and reporting upon
the efficiency and vigilance OF the guards to the
commanding officer of this department
At Ford's Theater, on Saturday, Mr.. H. Il.
Phillips appeared before the curtain and an

there were any War Department clerks in the
building they should report to headquarters
without delay. A number Of the War Depart
ment Rifles who were present Immediately left

We learn that precautionary measures were
also taken in Alexandra and Baltimore, and
.tnat strong guards were placed over all the
Government property.

The British Peace Address Secretary
Seward X eiuses to Receive 1t.
About six weeks ago Mr.. Joseph Parker, Of
Manchester, England, arrived at New York,
bringing with him the " Peace Address of Sub
letter from Sir Henry De Houghton to Gov.
Sey mour, who declined formally to receive it,
assigning as reason Tat it should be given to
the President OF the United States, the latter
being the only authorized channel of comma
nication between other nations and the citizens
OF the United States; and, besides, Gov. Sey
mour said that his official position did not
thorize him to accept the address on behalf Of
other States, and that it would be better to
withhold the document until after the Presi-
dental election. SO as TO avoid the appearance
OF interfering In the canvass. Mr. Parker con-
formed to these suggestions, and having ar
rived here last week, addressed a note 10 Sec
rotary Seward, stating that he had been depu-
ted TO convey 10 this country the address TO the
people OF the United States, and asking the
honor of an opportunity of presenting il to the
President. To this the Secretary replied that
before answering the letter 1t was desirable to
be further informed whether Mr. Parker hat
authority from the Government OF Great
Britain and ireland for the purpose referred
10, and whether his mission had been made
known to the diplomatic agent OF that Gov
eminent near the Government OF the United
States.
MIR. Parker replied by saying that the address
he bad he honor of being deputed by the par
ties signing 1t 10 bring 10 this country, contain.
ing the signatures of some three hundred and
fifty thousand OF his countrymen from the peer
10 was uOL lTOul the sOFeTuIcHt vi
Great Britain, nor from any political party.
II was simply an expression of the earnest de-
sire Of Great Britain to see peace again restored
10 this continent
The correspondence closed by note from the
Secretary Of State, in which he said the govern
Inent Of the United States could not receive the
address, and that the request for an interview
with the President was therefore declined.
This address has already been published, and
is signed by many Southern sympathiZers, who
ask the Government of the United States to
cease hostilites against that section Of the coun
try. The intention now is to present the address
TO Congress at the approaching session.
