PoETRY.-Thcrc arc some things that come by
nature, and that everybody can do or thinks llc
can do, such as teaching a school. running
farm editing paper and writing poetry. II is
useless to argue with people Oh these points once
they are subjects Of the hallucnaton. The dis
ease not unfrequentv proves altogether incurable,
particularly in the matter OF writing poetry. We
get our share of these illusions, and keep one
basket specially for these efforts of the unlcttercd
muse" These remarks are suggested by bit of
editorial autobiography VIC find in tho last number
of the Southern (i,riSti0n .ldrOcate, where the
writer enumcratcs somo Of The daily recurring
vexations of editorial life. Thouglt receive
great deal Of very bad voluntary poetry, We believe

alarming stretch OF the imagination.
This kind Of criticism is dangerous. I'll" poet
will forthwith order his -ilcoea:s sl"ppcd and for
ever hereafter do his utmost to iijnre both the
editor and his paper. To bring such poetic tral-
ties from their dread abode (ie big waste >&etl
and expose them to the public gaze, is to commit
tie objectionable sin. You may call u man = i'r
thief or scoundrei, and lie may pcrciance for
give you; but TO publicly question Ii poetic facu-
ty is an offence that can only be wipod out IN
&lood. "Genus irritable eatu'"' is quite as true
OF bad as of good poets.

CHICAGO.

CHICAGO. March l9.-The celebration Of
St. Patrick's Day yesterday took place with
more than usual interest, and with more
than ordinrry pageantry. The Irish citi-
zens turned ont 10 a man, woman and child,
and filled the streets so that to outward ap-
pearances Chicago was a huge Irish city
with . sprinkling Of Americans here and
there. The day was fine-the sun shining
with undimmed splendor-w while the air,
which bad been Of = winter temperature for
several days previously, assumed a spring
like mildness.
Early in the morning the streets and ave.
nues were thronged with Irish mea and
women on the way to that part Of the city
where the procession was to form, and
drums were beating and tifes resounding at
the heads of the various Irish associations,
and leading them TO their respective places
Of rendezvous.
All the Irish Associations Of the city were
represented, aud the number Of persons in
in the procession could not fall short Of 30.
600. The procession formed promptly in
the order announced in the published pro-
grAmmc, and at half past ten O'Clock long
line was in progress. Drums beat. busles
sounded, flags waved aloft, and the process
