To-day (I7th of March) is the anniver sary of the birth o f the Patron Saint of I Irriand, and a day Whieh>?ery eon of the j.Green Isle flelighteth to commemorate in faooor of him who redeemed their land from barbarism and paganism, and its r®- turn each year is celebrated thronghout the world wherever Irishmen ace found.— And what spot on this globe iS there in which they are not ? And while the day brings to mind the bright character and' Sample of him whose birth it commem'- orates, it also canses sad thonghta to la the hearts of Irejand's sgns. Ireland, as a nation, no more; rich in traditionary lore of a former magnificeace, splendor and brifliont-deeds, for years groaning .un der the^yqke of the oppressor, ever sigh ing add struggling to be free ! It is, and has been, the fondest hope of Irishmen, that theif native country may yet once more Uke her stand among the nations of the earth. Whether S t . P atbick was a Scotchman, a Frenchman or a Welahmun, baa never been definitely settled, althongh the weight of‘ testimony is in favor of the former.— Three places claim the honor of giving him birth—Elilpatrick, ia Scotland, Tours, in France, and Caernavonshire, in Wales.

Ireland at this time was a heathen and barbarous country. After/six months’ servitude, he escaped from bofadage, only to fail into the hands of another master. At length emancipat ed, he traveled into Gaul and 1 Italy, and spent many years in preparing himself for the holy fanctions of a priest, studying in- tensely until his 55th or 60th year. Being successively ordained deacon, priest aud bishop, he rncieved the apostolic benedic tion from Pope OEi.KsmE, and was sent j by him, about the beginning of the year 432, to preach the gospel in Ireland. And. such were the effect of his labors and. marvelous eloquence, that the whole country was converted to ChTistianity, and as a .consequence advanced in civilization. No name in the calendar of Saints is held in such reverence by the Irish as Is that of St. Patrick, and many are the legends of his acts of piety. ‘‘ It is related of him, St. Fatrick, that it .was his wont every day to sing the entire psaltery, besides many hymns and songs, etc,; to say two hundred prayers before G od , bend his knees three- hundred times before the Lord, and sign himself with the- sign of the cross one hundred times each canonical hoar. He was accustomed to- refresh himself from the toils of the day by sleeping on a bare stone, with another stone for his pillow.
