The Birth of st. Patrick.

On the eighth day of March it was, some people say,
That st. Patrick at midnight he first the day,
While others declare twas the ninth he was born,
And twas all a mistake between midnight and morn
For mistakes will occur in hurry and shock,
And some blamed the baby-and some blamed the
clock
Till with all their crossquestions sure could
know,
If the child fast-or the clock too slow.
Now the first faction fight in old Ireland they say,
Was all on account of st. Patriek's birthday,
Some fought for the eghtsfOr the ninth more would
die
And who wouldn't right. sure they blackened his
eye
At last both the factions positive grew
That each kept a birthday so Pat then had two
Till Father Mulcathy who showed them their sins,
Said, "NO one can have two birthdays but twins"
Says he, Boys don't be fighting for eight for nine
Don't be always dividn'-but sometimes combine;
Combine eight with nine, and seventeen is the mark
So let that be his birthday" "Amanr says the clark
'If he wasn't twins, history will show
That, at least, he's worth any two saints that we
know ~
Then they got blind drunk-which completed their
bliss,
And we keep up the practice from that day TO this.

TOM MARSHALL ON TEN PER-
ANCE.

Tom Marshall was one of the most ell
oquent men the State of Kentucky ever
produced He was the peer of the Breck-
inridges, or Barry Bledsoes, the other
Marshalls, and many other Kentucky Or
ators, and even Of Henry Clay himself.
But his life was failure and the won
derful talents which God had given him
were buried in the Intoxicating cup.
Marshall deploreG his infrmity, and
while member of Congress in 1912, he
delivered an address before the Congress
ional Total Abstinence Society, in the
conclusion of which he paid this eloquent
tribute to sobriety i:
Sif, would not exchange the physi-
cal sensations, the mere sense of animal
being. which belongs to man who to-
tally refrains from all that can intoxicate
his brain or derange his nervous struc-
ture-the elasticity with which he bounds
from his couch in the morning-the sweet
repose it yields him at night-the feel
ing with which he drinks in, through
his clear eyes, the beauty and grandeur
of surrounding nature | say, sir, |
would not exchange my conscious being
as strictly temperance man-the sense
of renovated youth-the glad play with
which my pulses now beat healthful mu-
sic-the bounding vivacity with which
life blood courses its exulting way thro'
my frame-the communion nigh which
my healthful ear and eve now hold with
all the gorgeous universe of God-the
splendors of the morning, the softness of
the evening sky the bloom; the beauty,
the verdure of earth, the music of the
air and the waters-with all the grand
associations of external nature reopen
to the fine avenues of sense no, sir, al
though poverty dogged Mccullough
scorn pointed its slow finger at me as l
passed-although want and destitution
and every element of earthly misery, on.
ly crime, met my waking eye from day
to day nor for the brightest and the
noblest wreath that ever encircled a state
mans brow-not, if some angel commits
stoned by Heaven, or some demon rather
sent fresh from hell, to test the resisting
strength of virtuous resolution, should
tempt me back, with all the wealth and
all the honors which world can bestow
not for all that time and all that earth
can give, would [ cast from me this pre-
cious pledge of liberated mind this
talisman against temptation, and plunge
again into the dangers and horrors which
once beset my path so help me heaven
as l would turn beneath my very feet al
the gifts the universe could offer, and
live and die as | am poor but SOBER.
His biography says this speech made
a noise in the world at the time, bu
alas before its echoes had died away
the "pledge" was broken, the .talisman'
cast off, and the novitiate teetolaler wa

gers and horrors" from which it seemed

NEWSPAPERS DOMESTICALLY
CONSIDERED.

Too low an estimate is apt to be set
on the domestic value of newspapers.
After reading them, and putting our
selves, through their agency, in mental
correspondence with the world, they are
thrown aside and forgotten. But to sup
pose their usefulness bounded by their
news columns and the waste-bag, is a
thrlftless mistake.
In the first place, there are the house.
hold recipes, to be found in stray cor
ners, often excellent, and deserving a
refuge on the fy-leaf of the family cook
book. Then comes the pretty verses, the
strange and droll stories, the brief biog-
