ST. DAv1D's DAY.-ST. DAVID was the Patron
Saint Of Wales, and, according to his legendary
biographers, was invested with extraordinary and
miraculous powers. His pedigree is deduced
from the Virgin Mary, and he is supposed to be her
eighteenth ineal descendant. Divesting his char
acter OF all fiction, there doubt that his valu-
able services to the British Church entitle him to
very distinguished position in it's early annals.
10 his moral and religious character was added
high reputation for learning, and several literary
productions we're ascribed to him. He died about
the year 544, after having attained IN advanced
age, and was buried IN the Cathedral Of Caerbon.
81. DAVID appears to haye had more honors
paid him in ENGLAND than in his native country but
one of the principal features of the day was habit
universally observed among tho Welshmen, Of
wearing leek on ST. DAvD's Day. Various rea-
sons are assigned for this, but the most probable
is, that during some conflict, the Welshmen were
ordered by ST. DAVID to put leeks in their hats to
distinguish themselves from their enemies SHAKs-
PEARE refers to this custom in his HENRY the 9Th,
when FLuE1LN addresses King HEfnf and ex-
tenuates his wearing the leek as it was national
custom.
This observance was long countenanced, but
has gradually fallen into dsuse, our modern head
dresses being i'll adapted for such verdant decora-
tions. The badge is still preserved, however, and
gilt leeks are worn by Welsh friendly societies,
and the national emblem displayed on every ami
versary Of this day
