ST. PATRICK' DAY.-To day IS st.
Patrick's Day. the great national hol-
iday of the Irish people throughout
the world. In all the larger cities Of
the United States and wherever there
resides any considerable number Of
people Of Irish birth, the day is cele-
brated both as a day Of religious de-
votion and one of mirth and re-
joiciug.
Saint Patrick, according to the
eeclesiastical historians of Ireland,
was native of Gaul. who. while on a
marauding expedition in Ireland, was
captured and reduced to slavery.
While serving as swine herd on the
hills, he repeuted Of his irregular
course of life, aud making bis escape,
fioished the theological studies he
had neglect d. and devoting himself
to the missionary wufk in Ireland,
returned there. aud after years of
patient labor, converted, among
others, a Provincial King of great
power, after which the prosecutions
.Sf>tha- heather priesthood ceased,
and Christianity was firmly estab-
lished on the Island.
In his efforts to teach the doctrine
of the Trinity, st. Patrick used the
shamrock-trifoliunl repens-in illus
tration. hence it became a national
emblem, and when the natural sham
rock is not to be found on st. Pat
rick's Day, handsome artifcials are
often mounted by Irishmen to testify
their love for the "Green Isle"
The day will be celebrated in Ev-
ansville by appropriate services in the
Church Of the Assumption, Rev. P.
McDermott, pastor, but without any
public festivities to mark the dsy
otherwise.
In Canada, there sometimes occur
serious disturbances on st. Patrick's
day, on account Of the strong antsg
onism existing between those who
celebrate the day and the Orangemen.
Insulting efigies, of st. Patrick be-
ing sometimes hung out, while pro-
cessions are marching, and even as
saults made upon the professions,
from which the gravest consequences
sometimes follow.
In the United States, the celebra.
tons generally pass off with credit tC
all engaged. A procession during the
day and a supper at night, being gen.
orally the manner of its observance.

When all was ready the ceremonies were COM
menced by the delivery of the invocation by
the Grand Chaplain, after which number of

lowered in its place during the singing of the
anthem "Ere this vast world was made" AT
ter an inspection by the respective officers, it
was announced that the work had been well
done and that 'sthe craftsmen had performed
their duty" The customary ceremony ofspread-
ing the cement, scattering corn on the stone,
&C., &C., then took place, after which the
Grand Marshal made the usual proclamation.
Rev. E. S. Porter then delivered the Grafton,
when the whole of the craft assembled led by
the united choirs and accompanied by the
bands, sang the Anthem of Praise, to the tune
of ''Old Hundred" At the conclusion, the
Grand Chaplain pronounced the benediction,
after which the several lodges were dismissed
and returned to their various lodge-rooms.

The Death OF Charles Dickens.

Charles Dickens is dead; but the children
of his brain-the cunning creations OF fer
tile imagination-wlll live as long as the
English language is spoken among the ma
tions of the earth.
1t matters little whether Charles Dickens
was inspired by that genius-that divine
ataatus-which is more easy to name than
to define; whether his works were estheti-
cally perfect; whether plot was compact and
new; whether taste was faultless and the
diction beyond compare.
Charles Dickens is known upon the broad
face of the universe. Wherever the Saxon
has hewed his way, in the virgin forests OF
the West, as in the centre Of European ciVlll-
zation, the name of Dickens is familiar
word, and his works are fondly loved. The
thronging millions are his stronghold. Crit
les may say, if they will, that Dickens is
praised too loudly and Thackeray not enough,
but Dickens has thousand worshippers for
every polished ten who keenly relish the
dainty sco,n of MnUcnna and
Dobbin, and Becky and the rest, will not
soon be forgotten; but Nell and Paul Dom,
hey, Dora and Dot, Pickwick and Micawber,
Oliver anu David, and host OF others have
become living, breathing types OF our com
mon humanity. They are no distractions.
All of US know them in the flesh, or at least
we think so.
Nor can it be said that Dickens had no
high purpose in what he wrote. The mans
heart was in his work. What good he
wrought-more than myriad preachers
could Accomplishment be realized by those
only who are familiar with the sores and
ulcers of modern English life.
And long before his death, Dickens was
already immortal With the Bible, and
Shakespeare. Dickens has entered into the
soul of the English tongue. From Shakes
peare and Dickens are drawn thousand
tropes and metaphors; from them come burn
ing fancies and queer conceits, whose source
is all forgotten; and though the very name
OF Dickens were lost, his joyous thoughts, pre-
served in the amber Of the words we speak,
would still set their seal upon the minds OF
millions, still touch the heart and quicken
the pulse, bringing the happy smile to the
smooth face of youth and the wrinkled cheek
Of age.
