THE HILL OF TARA.
Where st. Patrick First Preached the
Faith in Ireland.

The famous Hill of Tara, once de-
scribed as ''the most interesting and
authentic monument of early civiliza-
ton in northwestern Europe" is about
to be sold. Tara Hill looks now much
like any other hill, but on it once
stood the royal palace of the Ard -Righs
of Ireland for centuries. It was there
while great national assembly was
being held that st. Patrick converted
Ard-Righ Laori to Christianity. Tara
continued to be the home of the Ard
Righs until the year 566 when Dair-
mud, who was then reigning, violated
the sanctuary of ST. Raudan by seizing
the person of the Prince of Connaught,
who had sought protection there. To
punish the desecrator, it is said, the
good saint cursed his home, and from
that time Tara ceased to be the home
of the Ard-Righs, for though all sue
ceeding Ard-Righs were called kings
of Tara, none cared to live in a place
that saint had cursed. Some years
ago the owner of the hill who died a
short while ago. got the idea that the
Ark of the Covenant was buried there
and had excavations made, but all
that was found were a few old coins
and weapons

Gentlemen, you have portrayed
your subject, not, fear, as he is, but
as he should be. But your portrait
is so attractive that it shall be my
endeavor to resemble it more and
more every day of the few years that
remain to me. One merit only l can
truly claim, and that is an ardent
love for my native country and her
political institutions. Ever since /
entered the sacred ministry my aim
has been to make those over whom
| exerted any influence, not only more
upright Christians, but also more loyal
citizens. For the most faithful Chris
tian makes the best citizen. If our
government is destined to be enduring
it must rest on the eternal principles
of justice, truth and righteousness,
and these principles must have for
their sanction the recognition of a
Supreme Being who created all things
by His power, who governs them by
His wisdom, and whose superintend-
ing providence watches over the af-
fairs of nations and of men"
