T I L E LEGEND OF ST. .
BRENDAN.
'1'h,• legend of St. Brendan is
fo,711,1 iu mauuscript in all the
laugmtges of Western .Europe, as
w'•11 es au the medieval Latin oI
the uulokish chruuiclers. All that
pHs'. t.1111e tliskit'y gives tis in r'egar'd
to L1116 dii ti , hu,vevel•, is that he
was au Irishman of royal lineage,
who was the !Millie'. and first abbot
of the monastery of Clunft•tt, in the
couuty of Gel way, during the sixth
century. 'There are still extent
several religions treatises which Are
ascribed to him, and it is believed
thav he died in the year 573. The
legend of his voyage of discuvery
very much abbreviated is as follows:
The object of the voyage was to find
the true sits of the garden of Eden,
and the saint fur this purpose pro-
cured a good ship, victualed it for
seveu years, and chose a number of
monks as his companions. After
sailing forty days and forty nights
they reached an island, ivhore they
lauded. Here they were met by a
large dog, which fell at the feet of
the saint, and then conducted the
travelers to a large hall, where they
found plenty of food waiting -for
them, of which they partook ; also
beds made ready for them, whereon
they lay down and slept ; but they
naw no man. The next day they
returned to the ship and sailed a
long time. Then they came to an-
other island, where they saw beauti-
ful white sheep as large as oxen,
and where they met au old elan,
who told them to sail to the east.
This they did, and soon after reach-
ed another small island ou which
they landed and built a fire to cook
their food. When the fire because
hot they were much astounded to
find the island begin to move, and
with much fear and no little dif-
ficulty they regained their boats.
Theo they sate that what they took
for an island was the back of a great
fish. After three days' further
sailing they reached a land full of
flowers, }verbs, and trees. And
when they had landed they found
the lams were filled with beautiful
birds whieli all sang sweetly to
t, alcome them. Ana when one of
them flew to welcome St Brendan,
the holy man commanded it to tell
him why birds• were ao numerous
there and why they satng so joyously.
The bird replied : "Sometime we
were angels in .heaven ; but when
our master, Lucifer, fell for his
high pride, we fell for our offenses,
some hither and some lower, after
the nature of our tresr'as•; and .be-
cause our trespass is but little,
therefore our Lord hath set us hero,
out of all pain, to serve him on this
tree iu the bust manner that we can”
This was Easter Dav, and the saints
wore touch edified, and remained
with the birds till 'Trinity Sunday,
then returned to the sheep island,
where they took in a quantity of
provisions, and sailed again over the
wide ocean. Atter some months
they reached another island,• whore
they found a monastery of twenty-
four mocks, and with them St.
Brendan and his follow travelers
spent Christmas. Ou 'Twelfth clay
they again set sail, reached sheep
island on Palth Sunday, and, laud-
ing, held religious services with
their 11ieud, the old man. During
Passion Week they sailed away,
reached the fish's back, on which
they landed and performed. services;
then went on to keep their Easter-
tide with the birds. Ss for seven
year, they journeyed from one of
these islands to the other, reaching
each one at the sante date as during
the first year, and in tho seventh
year. they were allowed to see the
orginal paradise. "After sailing for
many days in darkness, the mist
passed away, and they saw the fair-
est country that a Ivan might see—
clear and bright, a heavenly sight to
behold. Ali the trees were loaded
with fruit and the herbage with
flowers. It was always day and
temperate, neither hot nor cold
and there saw a river which
they 'thirst not cross. Then came a
man who welcomed them, saying.
`Be yo now joyful, for this is the
land yo have sought. So lade your
ship with fruit, and depart hastily
for ye may no longer abide here.
Yo shall return tq,your own country
and soon after die. And this river
that you see this l,arteth the world
aseedor, for on that side of the
water may no man comes that is in
this life.' Then St. Brendan and
his monks took the fruit, and also
great plenty of precious stones, and
sailed home into Ireland, where
their brethel'n received them with
great joy." It is possible that this
absurd legend --which is further
oribellished in the various versions
tointless miracles performed by the
saint on different ocrssions—may
have had for its basis of truth a
voyage of some Irish monks to the
Azores, or in search of other lands
whin}, they could not find. Having
little soil discovery to iepert on
their return, they satisfied the cnrf-
tei
osity of their stay-at•homo neighbors
by stories of impossible wonders.
It may seem strange, but it is true
that this ridiculous legend exercised
no little influence on geographical
science for many years, and was
undoubtedly one of the collateral
causes that led to the discoveries of
Columbus. Many vessela were sent
out by the Spanish Government the
lastas late as'1721. Anumber of the
expeditious were out out by the Irish
and the Portuguese. In the treaty
of Evord, by which the Portuguese
ceded the Canary Islauds to the
Castilians, the "islands of SI.
I3renden" is mentioned as a place
which eau out be found. The
peasauts of Spain still relate how
Roderick, the last of the Goths,
made his escape thither, while a
Portuguese legend asserts that it
served for a retreat to I)ou Sebes
titin, after the battle of Aleazai.
On many old English charts it is
still to be found undife its Irish
name of I' Brazil. There seems no
doubt that the Portuguese voyagers
who discovered the country, uow
known as Brazil, early in the six-
teenth century gave it its name in
commemoration of this legend.
And we are assured that "so com-
mon were voyages from Ireland in
search of this island during the
seventeenth euutery that Ludlow,
the regicide, when implicated in a
conspiracy to seize Dublin Castle,
made his escape to the continent by
chartering a vessel at Limerick
uuder the pretense of seeking I'
Brazil. Leslie, of Glasslough a man
of judgment and enterprise pur-
chased a patent of this imaginary
island from Charles L and expended
a fortune in seeking for it in vaiu."
THE SOCIAL EVIL OF
TREATING.
The social habit or custom of
"treating" is undoubtedly a great
promoter of intemperance.' It is a
marked feature of all kinds of
society in this country, and is com-
paratively unknown in foreign
lauds.
Take this simple illustration of
the hsbit which will at one show
the folly of the practice, both from
a physical and a financial standpoint.
It is a perfectly ordinary and fami-
liar one. Tom and Dick, wending
their homeward way from shop or
office, meet on the sidewalk. After
the usual friendly greetings one or
the other proposes a social glass,
Entering the saloon they mot Harry
and Joe, who are there on the same
errand. The drinks are ordered by
Tom, and without any ceremony or
loss of time at once putout of sight.
The single glass, whether of laser or
spirits, would accomplish all that
could possibly bo required as 'a.
slight tonic or refreshment to a
wearied body or mind. But hardly
has this 'stimulant settled in the
stomach and commenced its bene-
ficial effects as an appetizer for tho
solid food that should follow' than
Dick "shouts" or orders "another
round" of the same, These meet
with the same disposal. Dick's
round is followed by another order-
ed by Harry, and still another by
Joe. While the four are putting
away this last round, ,Tack and Sam,
old acquaintances, enter, and each
"sets 'em up again" for the crowd.
By thie time each of the party has
parted with from 20 to 50 cents,
wasted from thirty to sixty minutes
in time, and has filled his stomach
with an excess of drink, to' the ex-
clusion of substantial, nourishing
food, which it craved and needed.
But it often does not end here.
After tho sixth round, Tom, Dick,
Harry, Joe, Jack and Sam each in
turn repeat the operation, and the
results are doubled or trebled, as
the case my be.
A DEGENERATE SON.
San*Francisce 1:3 all torn up, and
all on account of au amorous clergy-
man, named Spurgeon, son of the
famous English clergyman, making
an exhibition of himself. At Wa-
mona ho narrowly escaped the
vengeance of an irate husband to
whose wife he had paid untie('
attention. While on a visit to New
Zealand, where his brother has a
pastorate, Spurgeon met an uld
friend, .Tames Duckworth, one of
the richest mill owners in England,
who was travelling with his young
wife. Duckworth is many tsears
older than his wife, and not in good
health, Spurgeon and Duckworth
crossed the Pacific together, and he
remonstrated with Spurgeon over
the warmth of the latter's attentions
to his wife, which created gossip.
A coolness ensued, but when a party
was made up for the Yosemite,
Spurgeon accompanied it. He
renewed his attention to Mrs,
Duckworth, so that when Wawona
was torched on the return journey
the husband suddenly exclaimed in
wrath, "I`ve a mind to thrash you
sir," Dnckworth struck Spnrgeon
once, then they clinched, but Mrs.
t
Duckworth threw herself between
the combatants, and Spurgeon made
his escape.
