ST. pArRIck,s BIRTHDAY.

MR.. EDITOR: Do you know how 1t was that
the 18th of March was selected for st. Patrick's
Birthday {? Mr. Samuel Lever, tile great Irish
poet, told me 1t was thus;
On the aith day of March twas, as some peo-
pie say,
Betwlxt mcknight and morn 81 Patrick first
saw the day;
Whilst Others declared, on the ninth he was
born,
And twas all mistake betwixi midnight and
morn,
And mistakes will occur in the hurry and
shock:
And some blam'd the babby and some balm'd
the clok.
But wild all their cross questions. sure no one
could show
If the child was too fast or the clock was too
slow
And the first faction fight iu old Ireland, they
say,
Was all on account of st. Pafrick's birthday.
Some fought for the aith. for the ninth some
would die,
And who wouldn't see light, sure they'd
blacken his eye;
TIL Father McCauiey, who showed them
their sins,
Said no one could have too biri hdays, 'cept he
was twins;
Says he: "Boys, don't be fighting for ait or for
nine;
Don't be always dividing, but sometimes
kimbine;
Kimbine ait wild nine - seventeen is the
mark,
So let that be his birthdayo--"Amen" said
the clerk.
If he wasn't saint, sure our history will
show
That at last he's worth any two saints that we
know.
So they all got blind drunk, which completed
their bliss;
And we keeps up the practice from that day
to this
\ UIRERNIAN
Los Angeles daily herald., 1875-03-17
Celebration To- day.

The preparations for st. Patrick's Day
by our Irish citizens have been made
on scale which warrant the occasion
to surpass anything of its kind ever
before held in Los Angeles. OF course
it will be holiday for all who date
their birth or ancestry back to the
Emerald Isle. 1T must be conceded
that no people revere or honor their
country more than Irishmen, and
when they commemorate the day OF
days most sacred in ther history, they
do it with a hearty good will that COM
mands our admiration.
AT II o'clock NJ. procession
will be formed, consisting of the
Irish Benevolent Society, the Irish
