Thursday was st. Patrick's day, the
annivers ,rv of the natal day of the man
around whose memory hnvers brill ant
halJ of good deeds done for the Sons OF the
Emerald Isle. The exact place of St.

doubt. The Scotch and even the French
claim him with almost as much tervor as
do the Irish themselves, But wherever he
was born, certain il is that his best days
and his noblest wolk were given to Ireland.
From what little is absolutely known of
him, il is certain thai he great and
good mana man of great simplicity,
earnestuess of purpose and righteousness OF
heart and mind. He was a literary man
too, and wrote several hymns and epistles,
which have descended to US.
