TO celebrate it in a becoming manner. This

Roman village of BenaYeny now the town Of
Fitzpatrick, at the mouth Of the CLYDE, be-
tween. Glasgow and Dqnbarton. His original
name, it is said, was Patrick Caliphurn1a. He
was in his early bOyhood, carried captive. into
Ireland where he was compelled to keep
cattle, and undergo many 1hardships, during
WHICH time he was admltonishsed in adream to
undertake his missions On5arriving at natu-
1irity, he was, by the Pope, commissioned to
preach, and went about preaching and giving
aims to the poor, St. Patrick was practical
revivalistj and wherever he established mon
