ST. PATIWK'S DAY.
Laying aside the sectarian monopoly with,
which the memories of St. Patrick' 601114mq
appropriated, and contemplating ; onlr that.
which relates tolhe struggles'of the boy,lthe
combats of the man and the trichnphis' Of t h e ,
Christian, there has always been something; to'
us more grand in the progreset,ust_atriasr-of St.
Patrick, than that of any of the Apostles, of , re
ligion mentioned outside of "the. Bible.. Theob-
Bervartoe of St. Patrick's Day, •brings its memo-'
ries of a people, too, iiho have filled, 'a large
space in. the history of _the world, alnce ite i cen,
turies have rolled up their:solemn. years, and
the struggle for right and reason and religion
began',,to nerve and stinielaternahlrind. Irehind,
the scene of St. Patrick's religioustriumph, has,
not for a moment forgotten her devotion to
Christianity; from the hourthatthe Cos was
raised on her soil. True 'her
firm inter Christian =o,Deland lirukindriteined
Christianity, while the nations by
the Apostles have relapsed into paganlinn
fidelity; 'and the.citiee of the Adriaticind ;the
Mediterranean, where Paul .preachedend tri
umphed by his eloquence;and Silas •enchanted
with his purity and his goodn'esi, hit Vii 'either
giveir4ayt i cri the a;vance of the Mohammedan,
or bowed with voluptuous indifference to.reli
gion which made a mockery of faith in God,
and pertecuted those - who ritosed.their trust in
a Trinity:, Still Ireland has , been true. True,
not 'done in her faith in God, and her devotion
to the.nienrory of St Patrick,. but , tree, to , thu.
cause of rightwhen the hane,wasin others, even
while she was false to her own interest whenthe
IssueiltivolVed her social independence;and
liberty. Irishmen have been
~ _true in battle
whenAhe glq y rested-not uprin , their name.
They have been firm in , frioridship when its
results want to swell :the pritileges of others,
and render a race (the English) their inferior.in
all resPeliti,c'the' masters of a domain which'
God,iv the redemption'Of St. Pi44lslt, destined
for the glory and the possession of 'the Irish-;
men.
Over laddis and sees, where tivilissitionhas a
home and_ religion an altar, Ohre, to-day, beats
some heart responsive to the memory of St.
Patritilt--there tuftstip some Web voice,•lta pion,
tive and sincere accents of prayer, and there, too,
beatsthet Rime Irish heart, Which hat preserved
its 1113,41,t1 its Valor, its 'iniisi , dand Its faith;
amid all" Changes, in all climes, to the end 'that
Irishmen may triumph in their religion. Who
would refuse to render the tribute exeepBo3o

seven thousand savages, who bad been employed
and trained by, and werein commend of Albert
Pike of Arkansas. These savages were gathered
fr* thpitar4 tribee_of the plains *
_and were
thirstinglor the wbiteman's blood. In theirr
frenzy they attacked friend and foe alike, dis
emboweling and scalping many of the rebels,
who, in" their fury, they mistook fOr loyal
