TIE PRAYER OF ST. PATRICK.-From n
work lately published by the Catholic Pub
licatien Society, entitled, can Illustrated
History ofIreland," we derive the following:
- One prayer uttered by ST. Patrick has
been singularly fulfilled, "May my Lord
grant" he eNclaims, =" that may never lose
His people, which He has acquired in the
ends of the earth" From hill and dale,
from camp and cottage, from plebian aud
noble, there rang out u grand "Amen." The
strain was caught UP by Seeundius and
by Brigid and Brenda. 1t foated away
from d-indisfarne and Iona to Iceland and
Iarentum. 1t was heard on the sunny
banks of the Rhine, at Antwerp and Cologne,
i'll Oxford, in Pavia, and in Paris, And still
the old echo Is breathing its holy prayer by
the priest who tolls in Geld and storm to
the g station" on the mountain side, far
from his humble home. By the confessor
who spends hour after hour in the heat of
and the cold of winter, absolving
the penitent children of st. Patrick. By the
monk in his cloister. BY noble and true
hearted men, faithful through centuries of
persecution. And loudly and nobly, though
it be but faint to human ears, is that echo
uttered also by the aged women that lies
down by the roadside to die in the famine
years, because she prefers the Bread of
Heaven to the bread of earth, and the faith
taught by St. Patrick to the tempter's gold
By the emigrant, who with broken heart
bids q long farewell to the dearisland home,
to the old father, to the gray haired mother
because the adherence to his faith tends
not to further his temporal interests, and he
must stafve or go beyond the sea for bread.
Thus, ever and ever, that echo is gushing
up into the ear of God, and-never will it
cease until it shall have been merged into
the eternal Alleluia which the often martyr
ed and ever faithful children of the Saint
shall shout with him in rapturous voice
before the Eternal Throne.

ADVICE 10 YOUNG 1ucnAx1cs.


addressed to the young men of that city. 1t
is applicable to other parts az well al to
that city: - -
There is q growing inclination ON the part
OF young mer, after they have served long
ana hard apprenticeships to acquire a good
trade, to abandon that mode of living to
enter the legal Ormedical profession, where
1t IS supposed greater emoluments can be
secured and larger honOrs won. In nine
teen cases ont of twenty such ventures are
natures, for two reasons. First, the pro-
LESSONS require peculiar talent and the most
thorough education. ASA rule, appren-
tees to the trade have neither the time nor
the means to acquire this education. Hence,
When mechanic, at the end of his appren-
tlceship, aspires to and enters any. one of
the professions, he does SO at great dis
advantage. He may be a fluent speaker,
know how to argue n point in Il debating
society, OF harangue a crowd at a ward
meeting ;bat-s#ela talents tfo mot befft him
for the leading professions. He may know
how to extract IL splinter from his own hand.
know how to make salve, mix IL powder,
OF administer n pill, but all this, while it
might qualify him as IL good nurse, does not
fit him for the medical profession. The fact
is, the young men who abandon their trades
are tempted to do so by q feeling of false
pride, enormously imagining there is no
honor-to be secured in pursuit of the me-
ehanical arts. History proves the fallacy
of such suppOstions. T.
The brightest names which now adorn the
annals of all countries, are of the best me-
chanics who have blessed mankind with the
productions OF their genius. ALI that il
beautiful and grand is the result of improve
meEt in mechanics. The pendulum, the
handspring, the barometer, the thermome-
ter, printing press, steam engine, sewing
machine, telescope-all, all are the result Of
mechanics arts, making those famous who
produce them, and the people great who
adopt them. -
a good mechanic who becomes "a petit
logger or Il 4uack, merely because he is too
proud to work at his trade, is indeed q pitt
full object. A man of the right mental bal
ance, who has proper mental form, with the
necessary independence, will win as much
honor and as fair II living in the trades as
in the Professions; indeed, an Indifferent
lawyer or doctor, lacking briefs or patients.
is always Il miserable being, a bad example
in the community. Let our young mechan-
ics, then, become ambitious in their own
peculiar vOcatiOns. If they dignity their
trades by becoming proficient therein, the
trades will dignity them with the highest
honors. If mechanics pursue their business
with n view to self-improvement therein,
and not merely to hammer, and file, and
sew, but to improve the art, to develops
something new therein, the mind will he
as the>arm becomes muscular,
md the heart of the mechanic will be made
10 swell with as true pride as ever glowed
beneath the doublet of a prince. Will the
young mechanics think of these TRUTHS
