Yesterday was 81. Pstriok's day, a national
day in Ireland, n holiday with aIl lriahmen
and their. decendents throughout the uni

is struggling for rights that are justly heI
own, md opposing II gallant front to oppres
sion and wrong, st. Palrok's day is
invested with n peculiar interest. Ireland
Who is it that utters tho name, tina,
thinks of the green sle of the sea, who does
not feel his heart bent with emotions Of love
honor, and respect? Never was there bat
tle-iicld for century past that did not give

generous, even unto sef.sacriilce truo and
truthful 10 the ultima thule of the meaning
of those words; faithful TO friendships and

A nationality without n nation; q people
without home that they can truly call their
own; II country with its sons in every cline
honoring that cline with their intelligence
and toer exploits, Ireland stands forth to-day
the cynosure Of all eyes, the loved ard
admired nationality of the universe with
praises, with good wishes on tho lips of all
people in lis behalf.
