It wa woefully Inconsiderate of lt. l'strlck in have been the patron aalnt of the Irish, the Uvelleat heeled dancers on earth and then to have let hla birth day come in Lent! Old Cotton Mather himeelf, who didn't believe either In Lent nor In dancing, couldn't have served hu manity a more puritanic trick. There la a iharp discussion aa to whether ft. Patrick waa a Frenchman or a Scotchman. While my own per aonal opinion la that the aalnt was a son of Erin (and there la authority aalore to hold me out In thla), yet It la only liberal to glv. tha other two aide aome consideration and recognise the rival clatma of Franc, and Scotland to Bt. Patrick. We muat reaaon It out by logical de duction on the racial characterlntlce of the good man's personality and get It down to thla fact which would be more apt to aerve auch a trick on the Irish, would be it more like! a Scotchman or a Frenchman to try to tie their heela on their greateat of alt national feaat da?
