st. Patrick, the Apostle of Ireland.

We find the following article in one of
ourexchanges, the Dundalk ireland Dem
ocrat; and it is true, just, and discriminate
ing in its estimate of our glorious apostle,
that we cheerfully adopt it as our own.
1t is singular fact, and creditable alike
to the heads and hearts of our Pagan an
cestors, that in no country in the world did
Christianity spread with such wonderful
rapidity, or where its apostle met with so
little obstruction or opposition from the ma
tives. Not drop of Christian blood, we
believe, was shed by its primitive, aborigi
nal population @and, in less than century
after the death of ST. Patrick, schools, acad
emies, monasteries, and churches were rap
idly established, and fourished all over
the land, from whence missionaries after
wards went forth all over Europe to teach
and convert the natives and invaders from
the North, and repair the ravages of every
thing sacred, or that savored of learning,
by Goths, Vandals, Huns, and other barba-
rians, who had issued from their nomadic
homes, and precipitated themselves upon
the decaying empires of Rome and Con-
|stantinople, and their dependencies. So
famous did the learned institutions of Ire
land become, that lovers of learning fiocked
from every nation of the Continent to sit,
as pupils, at the feet of Irish scholars and
philosophers; and it is supposed that AL
fred the Great and Charlemagne were in
debted to Irish preceptors, for much of that
moral and religious knowledge which made
them famous among their contemporaries,
and rendered their names and great actions
immortal.
"Of all the saints in the calendar, we be-
lieve none has been more honored than the
patron saint of Ireland-St. Patrick. We
hear nothing of St. George outside of Eng

and St. Augustine are mueh and deservedly

UFarmers, please read the following letter
written by Mr.. Henry C. Cleveland, of Coventry,
for Messrs. Baker, Brown g. Co., Newport, VT,
and then read the letter written and published by
Paddock, Dean & Co., as coming from the same
Mr.. Cleveland, and notice the difference. Mr..
Cleveland says my phosphate was the best; but
no reading the certiiiuato W ritten by Paddock
Dean & Co., under Mr.. Cleveland,s name would
know this fact The only wonder is that Mr.. c.
had such good results from the Dbl. of P. D. &
Co.'S phosphate, if it was actually made in their
regular ''batch."
GJ7Dld Mr.. H. c. Cleveland purchase Dbl. of
their regular phosphate, or did they send him
bill. free of charge to experiment with? If Pad
dock, Dean & Co., will answer this simple quest
ion, through this paper, will send them copies
through the same channel of TWO different anal
sis of their phosphate, which 1 have procured
from distinguished chemist, and at an expense
to me of thirty dollars.
