ST. PATRICK.
The Rev. Dr. Williams preach•
ed a sermon in Lindsay, Out., on
St. Patrick. The following is the
subatauce of his remarks :—
Afteiquoting his text from Gen.
12 ; 1, 2, "Now the Lord had said
unto Abram, get thee out of thy
country, and from thy kindred, and
from thy father's house, auto a
land that I will show thee, and I
will make of thee a great nation,
and I will bless then, and make
thee great, and thou shalt be a
blessing."
He said : This was God's message
to the patriarch, conveyed by word
of mouth, and fulhlle3 in his event-
fgl eiguiReant life. God,
through hie provideudas, sent a
similar indication of his will to St
Patrick, which was obeyed to the
close of his retuarkeble life. In
.Iryoibi; the We of St, Patrick some
difficulties pteseuied themselves.
The first arose from the name by
which lie was generally kuowu.
1'atr•icius was nut his baptismal
name ; was Lot a propel 'eine at
all, but au appellation indicating
his patrician rauk. Now they stet
.with three ecclesiastics about that
time, and in counectiou with Ire
land, each of which bei'o tine,
appellation. The questiou to be
d, e'ded was which of the three
was the saint. Tradition and what
reliable history was to be fouud on
the subject, attributed this character
to Succat. Another difficulty atuae
from the mixing up of facts belong
ing to the lives ot the other two
ecclesiastics, with the life of Succat.
There was also more than one
opinion as to the place of his birth.
The eloquent Father B u•ke spoke
of him as being born iu Gaul, but
the balance of testimony was in
favor of Scotland, and the date
given was A. 1). 396.
Just wheio the roman wall
Severtis touched the northern sho
of the Clyde, almost on the ap
occupied now by the to.vn of Duni
barton, a little boy of fifteen years
was playing with his comrades iu
the year 411, when a band of
marauders who had sailed up the
Clyde in search of 'uooty, seized
him, carried him to the adjacent
coast of Ireland, and sold him into
slavery. For six years he remained
as a slave, tending cattle on the
Slemish Mountain, in what is now
one of the moat protestant counties
of Ulster. He then escaped, •and
found his way hack to North
-Britain and his kindred. But he
could not Teat, he was a Christian
and he pitied the lost people among
whom he had lived in slavery.
His friends tried to keep him with
them, but he wtnt to St. Ninian's
on the north shore of the Solway,
and during about eight years pre-
pared himself for his ministry.
There was no foundation for the
tradition that he went to Rome.
The probability was that he never
set foot on the continent of Europe.
After hie consecration to the minis-
try ho returned to Ireland, and
according to the best authorities,
devoted himself to his saving work
in that country till his death which
took place about the year 469.
After he had been a missionary
fifteen years he was made a bishop
He spent forty four years in Ireland
as a laborer in Christian work and
doctrine, and there could be no
question as to the singleness of his
purpose, the devoutness of his
spirit and the completeness of his
consecration to the work of God.
Patrick was virtually the founder
of the Christian chnrch in Ireland.
His work was begun nearly fifteen
hundred years ago. ' At such a
period when history was imperfect•

we, unknown, when biography was

re
ot
hore a matter of tradition than. of
correot record, they should not be.
surprised that many fabulous tales
were_related concerning St. Patrick
and other ancient worthies. They
should discount such stories large-
ly.
Iu all churches where a human
being was prominently connected
with its organization, the members
of these communities were liable to
over-estimate the powers of these
illustrious men. If St. Patrick to-
day was almost worshipped by the
Irish catholic's, if they spoke of him
as working miracles, and exercis-
ing superhuman powers, it wquld
be well for rrotestants not to forget
that they had sowetimee taken
steps in the caws direction. There
wee a tendency in almost every
community to idealize its founder,
and then idolize the ideal. The
Jews did that with Moses. The
Lutherans thought more of Luther
than he merited, great and good
man thought he was. The Genevan
churches gave to Calvin an authori-
ty which has made his teachings
almost infallible in the eetiuiation
of many of his adherents. There
could bo no question that John
Knox, were he to revisit this earth,
would be shocked by many of the
utterances of his followers con-
cerning him. The followers of
John Wesley were no lees to blame
in this respect ; there was too
strong a tendency to exalt the saint
and lose sight of the Savior. He,
the speaker, had been grie+ell at
some of the extravagant things said
of him duriug the recent centennial
celebration. And these things
were likely to accumulate as time
went on. When Calvin, and Knox,
and Wesley had been dead fourteen
centuries there would be still more
amazing things said of them, as
they loomed up through the mist of
tradition and fancy. The question
had sometimes been asked, "Was
St. Patrick a roman catholic 1" To
that question the reply might be
truthfully made that he west' mem-
ber of the catholic, or general
Christian church, but he held little
in common with the romaniat
church of the nineteenth century,
except the original doctrines.
That he was the son of one eccles-
iastic and the grandson of another,
all born in lawful wedlock, is a
sufficient refutation of the atate
molt that the celibacy of the clergy
was then regarded as essential to
its efficiency. The readers of church
history know that that regulation
was not universally enforced until
more then six hundred years after
he flourished. St. Patrick lived
two hundred years before there was
a cardinal in the church. The con-
fessional was not enjoined upon all
members of the church of Rome
until the fourth Lateran Council in
1215, nearly eight hundred years
after St. Patrick's time. There was
no such creature iu existence as a
jeeuit fur a thousan 1 years after his
death. There was no such decree
knowu in his day as the "immacu-
late conception of tha virgin," the
iufallibility and temporal headship
of the Bishop of Rome. Tran.ub-
stantiation was an open question,
and the humble preacher of a pure
gospel did his life work without a
thought of foreign ecclesiastical
interference.
Among many ,lessons taught there
by St. Patrick's lite was the debt
nations owed to good men. The
Israelites flourished with more or
loss of prosperity for fifteen hun-
dred years, maintaining their exis-
tence. as a separate and generally
independent nation, but for their
ecclesiastical and national life they
were largely indebted to such men
as Moses, Joshua and Samuel.
The German Empire a colossal
embodiment of intellectual and
moral freedom, was as greatly in-
debted to the teaching of Lather ns

ODDITIES IN A NEGRO
GRAVEYARD.
OUR10U8 EXERCISES, CURIOUS DECOR-
ATIONS, AND OUtttOUS HEADSTONE
POETRY.
Not long since I visited the sleepy
little village of Walhalla, Georgia.
It was a bright afternoon, and a
friend and I wore enjoying a stroll
through a picturesque wood. We
had gone only a little way when my
companion stopped and naked :
"What's that 1"
I halted, too, and listened.
Weird, mournful sounds floated
through the trees and reached our
ears : they came front a copse ou the
opposite slope of the hill. We
crossed over and followed thesounde.
We had unexpectedly encroached
upon one of those country bullet
grounds which are to be found near
every hamlet in upper South Caro-
lina and Georgia. It was indeed a
strange picture that rnet our sight.
Around a newly -made grave about
twenty-five negroes were collected.
They all clasped hands and were
slowly moving to and fro, while
they wailed dirges, and at intervale
ejaculated wild, innohrent words,
In the very center of the circle, at
the head of the grave, an old negro
woman sat rocking backward and
forwat•d,her eyes wildly rolling and
her arms swinging as mechanically
as pendulums. She was the widow
of the deceased, and it was her re-
quired part in the ceremony to
moan loudly at) appointed intervals
during the ainging. Something in
this way their hymn sounded as
nearly ss I could catch the words :
De white horse he rode,
Wid de ciokle la he hand,
And alew dew° our b -udder
From among our earthly band,
So moan ! sister moau.
And here the widow would re -in-
troduce her heathenish incantations.
Those were kept up for some time,
when suddenly they ceased and the
tiegroes prostrated themselves upon
the ground, while the minister, a
very dark and tall negro, stood and
prayed lustily.
After the "ulnen" was uttered and
the echoes had died away, two sis-
ters took frotn a basket a variety'wf
articles with which they solemnly
decorated the grave.
Near by was the grave of a black•
smith, with the implements of his
craft wedged in the ground and
rus`y horseshoes scattered about.
A striped pole was the head piece
of a tomb which held the ashes of
a barber. A weather-beaten saddle,
a bundle of worn out whips and a
currycomb constituted the garniture
of a noted horse jockey's sepulchre.
The carpenter's grave could be iden-
tified by the tools, such as hammers,
saws and planes ; the paiuters's by
a pot of paint and brushes ; the ma-
son's by a trowel, and bricks, and
mortar. The unique grave decor-
ations Were meant to nerve a double
purpose—to tell the calling, and
to cornemorate the virtues of the
dead.
Some twenty or thirty yards from
these graves was a tomb which ar-
rested our attention. Above a
mound that the rain had washed al-
most shapeless was a miniature gal-
lows, from the top of which was
swinging backward and forward a
piece of rope. The end of this was
tied like a noose. Stuck into the red
clay at the foot of the grave was au
axe with a lou; handle. All this
was certainly droll, and we were
led by curiosity to ask the old sox•
toe what it meant. He told us it,
was the grave of a most desperate
and dissolute m,n named Martin,
who, in a fit of jealous rage, had
kiiled his wife and decapitated her
with the axe we saw ; that the iu•
furiatod populace had visited upon
the murderer summary vongeanee,
and that the "charity lodge" under
whose auspices were couducted the
obsequies, wishing to execrate his
memory, had set his grave apart
from the other graves, and had de-
corated it as above described. Some-
one had sot up a rude slab, upon
which were inscribed these lines :
De night wee lick and do moon w:8 hid
t1 hen all hon' et ni 're -s ••le' p,
pat Martin, wid hie hu'ohers axe
In his old 'omen's room did Creep,
De green-eyed serpent wid de jealous
fang
DA Caere the c, into we 'low ;
For he chopped off her head wid de
Futcher ase,
And whir's de 'omen now?
The old grave digger pointed out
with some show of pride a more pre-
tentious monument than any of the
rest. It marked the tomb of of a
venerated Baptist pastor who died
several years ago. Some member of
his flock, desirous of giving him a
fitting:epitaph, inscribed this poet
to lament upon the head board :

TELLS YARNS THAT WILL MAKE HIM
THE LAUGHINGSTOCK OF CAN•
ADA.
The New York Tunes last Satut••
daypublished an interview with
Premier Mercier, of Quebec, in
which that gentleman auuounces the
defeat of Sir John Macdonald's
Government. In the course of the
interview :lir. Mercier said :
"Sir John has no wajorit•y," he
said, in a reply to a questiou as to
the exact figures. "On the contrary,
he is in a a minority. This is
doubtless not opparont to those on
this side of the line, who du not
know, the ins and outs of our poli-
tica. Under our system the Prime
Minister is in the majority so long
as he is not defeated in the House.
I believe Sir John will be defeated,
and Laurier will succeed hint as
Prime Minister. Laurier will he
Prime Minister of Canada before
the end of two months.
"It is like this : Sir John, being
in the minority in the whole Do-
minion, and chiefly in the two great
Provinces, his pat ty will le defeat-
ed at the first vote. Then he will
be compelled to resign. Lord Stan-
ley must then call for the leader of
the Opposition."
"I3ut the reports in this country
say that Sir John had a majority of
26 at the lowest estimate," was sug-
gested.
"Let me explain still:further," re
plied the Prime Minister. In Que-
bec, in the last Parliament, Sir
John's party had a majority of 8.
Now he is in a minority of 16 there.
lu Ontario, which is the most iw
portant Province, Sir John had at
the last session over 20 majority.
Ile now admits that in this Pro•
vince he is beaten by 5. Our party
has not lost a single seat, and we
have gained those mentioned. So
I canuot see how we can be defeated.
it is a part of tactics to claim that
he•has a majority. Laurier and re•
ciprocity must triumph, and they
will. There is no doubt of it as far
as I can see." •
"Yes, There will be an election
a few months. The issues will be
the same as at the last. The Con-
servatives will stand for protection.
The Liberals will again try for reci
p roti ty."
The interview continues: '•Pro-
tnier Mercier said that at the open-
ing of Parliament, April 29, the
1 -ion. Alderic Ouiment, the Speaker
at the last session, would again be
in the race. Being a Tory he would
be defeated. Mr. J. D. Edgar of
Ontario, a Liberal, would be the
successful man."
"RAISED HELL."
In Saturday's Kingston News is
au editorial uuder the heading of
'Rlised hell,' which has attracted
much attention. After quoting the
Globe to the effect that it heard
with regret that a minister in
Ontario had recently attacked Hon.
Wilfred Laurier on the score of his
roligiont it goes on to say : "We
have no hesitation in saying that
the Globe heard nothing of the
sort, and that no minister has tried
from his pulpit to fan the flame of
discord between his countrymen by
reflecting ou Mr. Laurier's religion
ur ehatacter. We challenge the
Globe to give the name of the

THEY TOUCII NOSES.
THE PECULI.IR WAY THAT SOME PEO-
PLE SALUTE ONE ANOTHER,
Popular Science Monthly:
The junction of nosee is so gener-
al, and described as so forcible in
Africa and Oceanica, as to have
given rise to a fanciful theory theory
that it has occasioned the flattening
ofinoses of the peoples. But in the
accounts of many of the tribes of
the dark continent, and of the is-
landers of New Zealand, Rotouma,
Tahiti, Tonga, Hawaii and other
groupes, the essential action does
not seem to be that of either pressure
or rubbing, but of mutual smelling.
Itis true that the travelers generally
call it rubbing, hut the motion and
pressure are sometimes no greater
than that of the muzzles of two dogs
slaking or cementing acquaintance.
The pressure and rub are secondary
and emphatic. The juncture only
means the compliment, "You smell
very good !" is illustrated in the
Navigator group when the noses of
friends are saluted with a long and
hearty rub and the explauatory
words : "Good ! very good ; I am
happy now !" The Calmucks also
go through a suggestive pantomime
of greeting, in which they creep on
their knees to each other and then
join noses, as much as possible like
the two dogs before mentioned. In
the Navigator islands only equals
mutually rub noses. The inferior
rubs hie own nose on and smells the
superior's hand. The respectful
greeting of Fiji is to take and smell
the hand of the euperior without
robbing it. In Gambia when the
men salute the women they put the
i woman's hand up to their noses and
smell twice at the back of it. In the
Friendly islands the noses are ,join-
ed, adding the ceremony by taking
the hand of the person to whom
civilities are paid and rubbing it
with a degree of force upon the sal -
Wore owe nose and mouth. Tho
Mariana islanders formerly smelled
at the hands of those to which they
wished to tender homage. Capt.
HHeachy describes the Sandwich
islanders : "The lips are drawn in-
ward between the teeth, the nos-
trils are distended, and the lungs.
widely inflated ; the face is then
pushed forward, the nose brought
into contact, and thin ceremony con-
cludes with a hearty rub."
