SAINT PATRrcH.-This, the 18th Of
March. 1870, is the birthday Of st.
Patrick. the patron Saint Of that green
island. whose children, good and bad,
are scattered throughout creation.
History records that st. Patrick was
horn near the site of Fitzpatrick, at the
mouth Of the Clyde, in Scotland, i'll
the year 3I2-only HOS years ago. At
the age Of lG he was carried captive
to Ireland by q band Of narauders, but
made his escape after six months and
reached Scotland. Carried of 4 sec
ond time. and again escaping, he re-
solved to become 4 missionary to the
lrish-one of the hardest crosses q man
could possibly bear-was ordained in
Scotland, and ater \ long preparation
was co%nsecrated Bishop. Having pre-
yiouSlv. according to some account,
visited Gaul and perhaps Italy, he
passed over to his chosen field of labor
about 1872, and preached the gospel
with such extraordinary effect that,
although not absolutely the first to
introduce Christianity into the couli-
try, he has always received the credit
Of its conversion. lie baptized the
Kings of Dublin aud Munster, IN the
scven sons Of the King Of Connaught,
with the greater part Of their subjects,
and before his death had converted
almost the whole island to the faith.
!. popular legend ascribes to him the
Punishment of all venomouS creatures
from the island, including copper
heads, by means of his crozier and
staff. The memory of all good men
should be respected-so we respect
that Of St. Patrick.
