The Grare of 81. Patrick.

A correspondent writing in the Eng
lish newspaper, Land and Water, fur
nishes the following in regard to the
grave of st. Patrick, in Ireland, which
will impress Irishmen all over the world
with feeling of surprise and regret
The grave is in the yard of theCathedral
and Downpatrick, county Down. The
writer above referred to says:
ut lies in the highest and most cen
trail position in the otherwise decently
kept churchyard, and is the one spot OF
earth in the whole place that appears
given up to complete neglect and desc
Grafton. Around are grave and grave
stones, ancient and modern, all well or
dcred and neatly kept, some showing
the recent touch of hands directed by
loving care, while the one which stran-
gers would have expected to find most
honored and rcvcred is the only dis
honored grave among them all. The
unsightly looking hole, unmarked by
cross or Slab, now half filed with loose
| rubble of broken bricks, stones and
earth is a disgrace to the people OF
Down, who, be they Protestants or
Catholics, in that they claim TO be
Christians, have an equal right to hon
or the resting place of this faithful,
fearless preacher of Christianity, who
was the first to bring the gospel OF
truth into Ireland, the first to introduce
the dawn of civilization among her then
wholly harbarons princess and people,
and whose feet first touched the Irish
soil upon the shores of the countyDown.
/ shall feel proud indeed if these OBJ
servations will lead any one belonging
to the neighborhood or the county to
take some interest in the matter.
