old when he landed
on the inhospitable shores of Ireland.
am' he Is said to have continued his
L.i.Aro n. .in., ni,ii,i.iv for the pnace of
four-score years, until the day of his
death, on .March 17. -lOP. A. IX, which
would have made him almost a century
ami a (iiarlcr old.
There are many doubtltiR Thomases
who assert that the Rood saint was
neither a Hcotchmnn nor, as some f,ay,
u Krcnchmnn. but was an entirely
mythical pcrMinaRC whom the chinch
canonized In order to constitute a pat
ion saint of wonder-worhliiK reputa
tion. There Is a delightful homeliness
el-cut moat of the old legends and tra
ditions coneernliiR the halnl; their hero
is so essentially human always, not
withstanding his transcendent glft3.
All hearts were, won by his Kindly and
genial personality.
It Is related that when the saint lny
on his death-bod ho was deeply touched
nt tho sight of his mourning followers,
lie gazed on them with pitying eyes,
and with his last breath it is gravely
as.serted that he murmured: "Take a
diop of something for my sake."
It is said that the art of distillation
was taught to the Irish by St. Patrick,
though he had no mean reputation as a
temperance ndvocato. At all events,
"poteen" was named after him.
When a boy of sixteen the embryo
missionary was captured by pirates and

This was too much for the Pi luce of
Darkness. He lied In his natural shape,
while the swineherd lesumed ills post

On a certain cold morning St. Patrick
and his followeis weio on the summit
of a bleak mountain, with no apparent
means of making a liie. To add to their
discomfort snow wns falling heavily,
and a howling wind had arisen. Now
w s tho opportunity for the saint. He
on'ered all hands to collect snowballs
together in a groat heap, then he uulet
l breathed upon the frosty mound, and
Id! Haines burst foith Immediately.
The following touching poem allud
Inr to the above Is of comparatively
rerent date:
"St. Patrick, as In legends told,
1 he morning being very cold,
In order to assuage the weather, !
Collected bits of Ice together;
Then gently breathed upon the pyre.
When every fragment blazed on lire.
Ah! If the saint had been so kind
As to have left the gift behind
To such a love-lorn wietch as me.
Who dally struggles to be free,
I'd be content content with part,
I'd only ask to thaw the heait.
The frozen heart of Polly Roe."
A peasant family living near Ilelfast
In the early part of tills century were
the niuch-envied possessors of St. Pat
rick's Jawbone.
The relic was supposed to have a su
pernatural value in determining the
guilt or Innocence of a suspected crim
inal. The accused one had merely to
place his hand on the Jawbone and
fke a solemn oath. In case he per
Juied himself tho most frightful pun
ishment followed. It was also of great
assistance to women in child labor,
and wns a sovereign remedy for epi
leptic fits and to ward off the evil ey
witches, fairies, etc.
Kveryone knows about the most stu
pendous miracle of all the miracles of
St. Patrick, the one which of itself
was enought to make the saint's name
immortal, hut we don't all know how
the feat was accomplished. Colgan, the
antiquarian, says that tho snakes were
banished from Ireland in the following
no; el and Ingenious manner: St. Pat
rick procured an Immense drum and
then walked forth over hill, dale and
valley while beating a most thundering
tattoo. Right in the midst of his ardu
ous labors a hole was knocked In tho
top, wheieupon the snakes all stopped
"hurt on their march to the sea.
In tho nick of time an angel appeared
and mended the drum. After this tho
operation win continued to tho end
without further accident. Hvery rep
tile was supposed to huvo left the Is
land, but the saint himself know bet
i ter. Thcio was ono snake that behaved
, so badly during the grand march that
J St. Patrick concluded to punish him.
According 10 mo legonu me recalci
trant serpent wan confined in the
gloomy depth of Lough Dllveen, In tho
Oalteo Mountains of Tlpperary. It was
understood that tho prisoner should ho
released fiom durance vllo on tho fol
lowing Monday, when ho would he
driven out to Join his fellow-crnwlcH
in tho briny deep. Alas! St. Patrick
was so busy ho forgot all about 1L At
Icnet they say In Tlpperary that on
overy Monday to this day the haplebs
snako comes to the surface of tho lako
and utters this plaint in Irish: "It's a
long Monday. Patrick!"
Tho shamrock in Ireland, as Is well
known, Is nlways associated with tho
saint. Tho populnr reason givon for Ite
peculiar significance Is undoubtedly the
true ono. When St. Patrick commenced
to preach tho gospel to tho pagan Irish
ho found It very dilllcult to make them
eomprohond tho doctrlno of tho Trin
ity. At last a bright Idea struck him.
Ho displayed to tho throng a sprig of
the common trefoil (shamrock) and !n
a momont his auditors grasped tho idea
how perfectly siinplo It was for threo
to emanato from one.

ST. PATRICK'S HYMN.
Our or I lie Mint Wytrl .Miiutt.i'rlpli In
the wiMil.
One of the urn. 4 ecclesiastic, as
well as Irish, mamiserlpts in the world
Is the original of 'M. P.ittick's h.Miin.
When It was transcribed Is not known,
but It was ptobably done within a een
turj after the death of the patron saint
of Ireland, at which time a school of
seiili.M tlouilshed under his Immediate
suneisor, St. Colunib. the princely mis
idnnur.x who made the beautiful copy
of the nospel know as the Hook of
Kells. However (hat may be, the uiaii
useiiut Is now preserved In the cele
brated Hook of Hymns (Liber ll.unnor
utn) in the llbr.uw of Trinity college.
Dublin Hlsltop I'sslier expressed It an
his opinion that the Hook of Hymns wiu
at least 1.000 ears old in his time. The
hymn of St Pattlek Is compiled In the
llearla r'elne. a very ancient and aris
tocratic dialed of the liaellc. that ill
which the llrehon laws and the ety
oldest tracts aie wiltten. The oithog
laphy and many of the wouls of this
dialect became obsolete very early In
tho Christian era. when the Latin came
to bo used, so that the dale of the hymn
becomes fixed within n certain century
the sixth. Moreover, it is distinctly
alluded to lu Tlrechan's annotations
on the saint's life written In the sev
enth century. In thl he stated that
the lilsh hMiin ought to be sung for
ever. "Hit peihaps the strongest proofs of
Its antiquity are to'be found In the com
position Itself," says the learned Dr.
Petrle "A Christian living after the
establishment of Christ lanlt.v would
hardly Invoke the Deity to protect him
fiom the spells of women, smiths an 1
Druids; and the placing of the natuial
povvrs of the Creator between himself
and all evil powers has no parallel lu
any later Clnlsttan composition. i'
may be doubted If the production wniil I
be regarded as orthodox In times sub
sequent to the actual tlmo of Its pro
duction. Henco It Is never mentioned
lu later lives of the salut. Colgan
simply Includes a hymn In his list of
the saint's works. Hut notwithstanding
the silence of the wrlteis, it Is lemurk
ahlo that the I.ulreach Phadrulg Is still
remembered In many parts of Ireland
by the peasantry, and a portion of It
Is repeated to this day. usually at bed
time, with the same conlldence lu Its
protecting powers as, according to St.
Kvln. was placed In 11 pievlously to his
time."
