Nearly all the young people and
many of the older ones, too, in Cres- |
cent City decorated themselves in
honor of St. Patrick. The old gen.
tleman is dead, rest his soul, but his |
spirit is still with us, and today it re-
luires no investigation to learn that he
is the favorite saint of the people of
Crescent City.
Oh! st. Patrick was a gentleman,
Who came of decent people;
He built church in Dublin town,
And on it put a steeple.
His father was Gallagher;
His mother was Brady;
His aunt was an O'Shaughnessy,
His uncle an O'Grady.
So success attend st. Patrick's fist,
For he's saint so clever;
0! he gave the snakes and toads
twist,
And bothered them forever!
