ON GOOD ST. PATRIcK's DAY
Worthy Time for lrishmsn to Reflect
on Proud History Of Their Race
and Nation.

1t IL an exceedingly good thing that
on this one day Of the year. at least,
people Of Irish nativity and race
should assemble around the festive
board to hear something that shall
take them away from the miserable.
selfish thought Of their business, OF
their W even laudable though at the
same time petty domestic cares. and
remind them of their ancestors, to tell
them something Of the place OF their
ace and nation In the history OF the
world. and In the work that the uni
versal Father surely has to do for
each Of the races that He has placed
upon earth. as He has given work for
each Of the Individual children that He
sends into the world.-Dr. Edward
McGlynn.

front and at the back of its head.
When asked who and what 1t might
be, the creature answered. 81 am a
servant of God, and with my eyes in
front 1 see the apparent actions Of
men, but with the eyes at the back of
my head 1 saw a certain monk con-
cealing a piece of meat, that he might
eat 1t In secret. d. :" Then the
apparition vanished.
Falling upon his knees, and shifting
his breast Saint Patrick begged to
be forgiven and promised never to
eat meat for the rest of his life, which
promise. 1t is said, he faithfully kept.
His angel returned to him and telling
him he was pardoned told him to take
the offending piece of meat and cast
1t into the water. When he had done
this, publicly confessing his guilt, the
meat was suddenly changed into a
quantity of fresh and shining fishes,
which sufficed for all the brothers.
After the death of st. Martin, Pat
rick spent fourteen years in Auxone,
and a few years more in the isle of
Lerius, where st. Vincent was among
his companions.
But all through these years, the
voices of the children of Folchut Wood
kept on crying to st. Patrick: "All
we Irish beseech thee, holy Patrick. to
come and save us from the wrath to
come. o holy youth, come once more
and walk among us !"
Finally the angel appeared again to
Patrick and said. 500 RI Iraland For
thou shalt be the apostle of Its peo-
pie" Patrick at last set out for Rome
to seek advice from Its Bishop Celes-

tin. 1t was while on his way to Rome,
that Patrick received his wonderful
staff.
Patrick and a band of foreign mis-
sion workers landed on the eastern
coast of Ireland, where st. Patrick
stopped and picked a leaf of shamrock
to illustrate to his simple hearers the
doctrine of the Trinity, the Three in
One, and so the shamrock is to this
day the symbol of st. Patrick.
After various tests and proofs, the
king Laeghaire with his entire court
and thousands more besides, submitted
himself to baptism and promised to
accord his permission and protection
to the spreading of the Christian faith
throughout his realm, which made the
beginning of the saints great work.
Year after year he travelled, preach
ing and exhorting, founding monster
les and converts, erecting churches.
baptizing thousands, and tens of thous-
ands, ordaining priests, consecrating
bishops, rebuilding some of the
| churches still remaining from the older
Christianity preached there In earlier
days. All the while he had to fight
against enemies both bitter and power
full who opposed and tried to thwart
him at every step.
1t was toward the end of his days
hat Patrick built the glorious church
of Armagh and here he would fain
have lain him down to finish this
earthly course. But 1t so happened
that when he was at Saul, he realized
hat death was neal and started to
travel back to Armagh; but the angel
met him on the road and said: Go
back-go back-not at Armagh Is 1t
Gods will that thou should'st die. Go
back to Saul, for at Dichu's Barn
where thou didst say thy first serv-
Ice on Irish soil shalt thou die"
AS v Patrick bowed to Gods will
and there he breathed his last.
Where he was buried is not known
for certain. though it is supposed he
lies with Columbcille and Bridget at
Downe.

PROVISION MADE FOR PETS
Seemingly 1t is Not Unusual to Mako
Requests by Which Ami
mails Benefit.

An elderly French spinster died,
leaving a will ~bequeathing most of her
property to charity and a substantial
sum to my silent, sympathetic and
bestowed friend, Minnette." Min
nette was her cat. A Frenchman was
moved by his incident to investigate
the subject and he found that cats,
among all animals, have most frequent
ly been made legatees.
In 1871 a noted player on the harp
and flute, Jeanne Felix Dupuls, en-
Joined her executor &c give the keeper
of two cats 30 sous a week for their
food, which she specified should be
meat broth, "of the kind we ourselves
eat, rich and sufficient without being
eked out by bread crumbs, and served
upon individual plates, belonging one
to each cat" Her relatives broke the
will, and this provision of separate
plates for the pussies was n point up
on which they strongly dwelt in the
attempt to prove hat her mind was
enfeebled.

OBEDIENCE AS AN INSTINCT

The obedience of young birds to the

he saw some young ones leave 1t and
disappear into the water in that won

SAINT PATRICK IN
HISTORY and
LEGEND

st. Patrick was born In North Brit
ain, In what Is now Dumbarton, during
the second half of the Fourth century.
His parents were Christians and of
noble family. His father. n Roman cit
izen. Ca%lpernius by name, held the
rank OF decurion, and was an ordained
clergyman the mother Conchessa, was
the sister of st. Martin. bishop of
Tours.
Although his parents we're rich, st.
Patrick was brought up very simply.
living for the most part with his fos-
ter parents, on a farm. Early he be-
gan to work those miracles INT o
ders for which he Is SO famous
In those days the Picts and Scots
made frequent incursions upon the
British coasts and on one of these in
vasion a band OF marauders alighted
from ships upon the shore near he
farm where Patrick, now a lad Of
about sixteen. was playing in company
with some of his younger brothers and
sisters.
The pirates kidnapped st. Patrick, car
rying him Off to Ireland, where he was
sold as a slave to Mllcho, king of the
Dalarndia. and given the task of tend
ing the swine. 1t was during his years
Of serfdom that Patrick acquired his
knowledge of the Irish tongue and his
love for the country folk.
After six years of this servitude an
angel came to him in a dream and told
him how to escape. Accepting the an
gels advice and his escape duly ac-
complished, Patrick travelled on foot to
the West. and there took ship for Brit
ain. After much wandering he arrived
at his old home only to find that his
parents had died during his absence.
He settled down quite happily with
his brothers and sisters until one night
the angel appeared to him saying that
Ireland needed him. Patrick never
slept without hearing In dreams the
voice Of the children Of Folchut Wood
crying out to hin beseechingly. RE
turn to US. holy youth, come once more
and walk among usi" And the angel
explained that this was the voice Of
The children yet unborn. in Ireland.
From that moment, Patrick determined
that he would carry salvation to them.
In order to prepare himself for the
carrying out of this mission. he sought
advice and counsel Of his uncle ST.
Martin. bishop Of Tours, who had
founded a monastery at Marmoutier,
In France. st. Patrick made all the
land part of the journey on foot.
One night when near the end OF the
Journey, he lay down to rest In the
snow under the bare branches Of n
blnckthorn tree. to sleep. When he
awoke in the morning. to his maze
ment he found the thorn all out In
white-scented blossom, while the coun-
try around was still frozen. To this
day the traveller may still see st.
Patrick's bl%ackthorn tree In blossom

legends blend with those respecting
Glastonbury. where he Is said to have
remained and studied theology.
For eight years Patrick remained at
