 ST. PATRICK'S DAY.
 We shout hurrah for Erin go Bragh
 And all the Irish nation
 We march stiff starch.
 On St Patrick's Day Parade.
 The boys all shout, the girls turn out
 To see the celebration.
 We march, stiff as starch,
 On St. Patrick's Day Parade"
 Celebrations may come and go, but the Sons of Erin will see to 1t that the centuries shall never lack the sight and sound of rejoicings on the day that gave birth to Ireland's patron saint.
 And why not
 Far be it ever from Colum- bias gracious self to deny the honors due the day, by these her adopted sons and daugh- ters, who have stood so loyally by her in her struggles to her proud place among the na- tions, who have shed their hearts best blood so freely for her, who have shared alike her joys and sorrows, who have honored her heroes as highly as tho they were their own. | All hail to you, St. Patrick ! Tho the greeting be but from the poor pen of a "Sassenagh." | Irish Linen The line of Tom Moore's Meeting of the Waters" that begins {: There is nought in the wide world so sweet" might we'll be sung in praise of Irish Linen. Where Tn the wide world will you find the fabric that shall compare with that spun in the land of the Shamrock"
 True that other climes and countries produce good linens, but none QUITE so good. Ask the housewife of today what linen she likes best-she'll tell you "Irish," when she can get it. | Whatever the secret is whether in the flax, or in the drying or spinning of it-it is a secret that has never yet 2 been whispered ; and were Ire land to sink suddenly hack ; into her ocean bed, the whole , world would mourn unceas- , inely a linen-loss that could , never be repaired.
