CT Cp,sp,y's DAY.-To.day is the

ST. ,CRisp1S's DAr.-To-day is the
anniversary of the patron saint Of shoe
makers. St. Crispin, and his brother
Crispian, were born at Rome, whence
they travelled to France, spreading the
Gospel as they went, and like honest
men earning their living by their hand
Notwithstanding. They were en-
abled to sell shoes at very low price,
as their leather cost nothing; it was
supplied by angels direct from heaven.
The Governor of Scissors, hearing that
they were Christians, had them behead-
ed. Their bodies were thrown into the
sea, but were washed ashore at Romney
Marsh, in Kent England. St. Crispin
is the patron of cordwainers, by many
of whom he is commemorated every
Monday. On this day, in the year
l4l5, was fought the celebrated battle
of Agincourt between the English and
the French, who outnumbered the for
mer in the proportion of six to one.
King Henry is represented as saying to
his soldiers:
"He that shall live this day, and see old age,
Will yearly on the vigil feast his neighbors,
And say. Tomorrow is st. Crispian.'
Then " i'll he strip his sleeve and show his
scars,
plans day."

the year 1852, now nineteen years ago,
the steamer Buckeye Belle blew up near

some men were pulling skiff in the
river, near the scene Of the accident,
they came across the long missing safe,
exposed to view by the low water. 1t
was taken ashore and opened and$l6OO
