The Shaulrock's History.

When King Lerry, surrounded by his
lords, vaasais and Dcuids was celebrat-
ing his birthday at Tara, the ancient
capital Of ireland. it happened to be On
the eve cs Easter. The time had come
when all the fires were to be extinguished,
that after a while, theT might be re-
Lighted by the sacred torch cousecrated
10 the heather gods. In the interval Of
hallowed darkness suddenly there ap-
psared brilliant light at the top Of the
Slope OF Gharioss The sparks aid
flames rose from the mysterious camp ia
proclamation of the ancient faith of Tara.
Who had dared to profane the sacred
darkness by unholY fires? What bol2
blasphemer ventured to light the terch
until she fame had been brought from
che altsr OF the gods? Tie WARRIORS
grsaped their arms sud rushea up the
hill to tear the iptidel TO pieces. They
seized him and dragged ham down to The
hall OF Judgment; but all the while be
kept reoising prayers 10 the unknown
God; and when brought bsfore the as
sembly Of enraged idolators, st. Patrick,
Who for seven years has been M,lcho's
herdeman slave, stood forth, like the
heroic Panl, and answered for himself.
In his lonesome captivity, st. Patrick
had learned to love the Irish people,
and with the burden of sally alton no had
traversed the great plains from tho
Boyne to the Slope Of the Chariots. He
stood and preached to them all night
from the birth of the stars to the grand
ascension of the Sun. He spoke as
never man had spoken in Tara. Hs
to ldthena the story of the Nazarene, of
the Blessed Trinity-Fasher. Son, aud
Holy Ghost-of BAptism-of the Euoh-
artist OF sill tho sublime faith Of the
Church of Rome. Towards daylight
the people began to believe, and fell
into debate, one with another. The
arch Druid, the King and two beautiful
maidens, were converted and baptized.
The tunult increased; aud true fires Of
heaven were blazing in the dark valley
Of Plagiarism, and st, Patrick preached

and The hills Of Cavan, and the heights
of Slane.
But the people could not understand
the strange doctrine of the Trinity
how three persons should constitute one
God-and with daylight, their heart be-
gan to return to their idols. Suddenly
the Apostle caught up sprig of Sham
rock, which had been holding up its
triple palms in alteration OF the one
true God, and holding it forth, he
showed the people that three leaves
growing from single stock constitute
but one: Instantly the quick-witted
people understood the mystery, they
rushed upon the Apostle, and would
have carried him on their shoulders,
and from that hour the faith of Patrick
was planted in the Irish heart, and that
faith since has never failed Morning

Why the Irish Like Green.

Some old Greek traditions tell how
Kadmus, a mighty leader and a very
wise man III all the arts and sciences,
came over from Asia and taught the
BGotians letters. In Phpaician the
word KadEnus means Eastman, while
the word Europe which gradually was
applied to a vast extent OF land, a con-
tlnent, at first belonged only to the
land just across from The island Of
Eubsea, Ton the other side OF the narrow
strait Euripus, and means, in Ph@ni-
ciau, the Westland. So, when you
read Of Kadmus coming TO Europe, it
Is the Eastman cunning to the West
land. Over and over again, in history,
we find names, to which all sorts Of
fanciful deriyations have been given,
and beautiful legends and myths have
been attached, turning out to be the
simp!eSt kind of words. Thus, Ireland
also means the Westland, and it comes
from the Colttc word lar and the mod.
ern word land; lar meaning the West
lar, before being used to denote tbs
West, meant the back, and that fact
lets us INTO an important secret con-
corning the religion Of the Cel5s, who
first came over the Irish Sea to the
EmeraM Ireland. It tells lis That these
early men named the points Of the
| compass according to the other direc-
to ok>c t<,r n
the East. 50 the East was named from
front, or forward, the West from back
or behind, the North from letthand,
and she South from righthand. That
means that the early Celts wors!lipped
,ie Dawn and the Sunrise. And SO
faithfully have the old traditions re-
manned in men IS minds, in that Vest
ern Island, that, to this day, the en-
blem Oh the coat of arms Of Ireland is
a ''suubuIst," or rising sun.
Another curious thing is that 1t is
more than probable that the Irish pre-
ference OF the coler green arose from q
mistake amongst thoss who had lost q
thorough Knowledge ct the old Irish
language. The sun, in Irish, is called
"grian, "a word pronounced like the
modern word green and that it is
likely that the Irish fondness FOR that
color arose from the words likeness in
sound to the word that stood for the
sun. In the same way, when we talk
about "greeil-houses, We think they
are called so because the plants are
kept green in them during Winter.
Yes it is far more probable that
green here, is the Irish word mean
ing. not the color, but the sun; because
green houses are built 80 as to Catch
the suns rays, and store them up.
