The following communication rcached us too late for last week's paper, we therefore take much pleasure in preseuting it to our readers in this weeks issue.

ST. PATRICK'S DAY AT ALBERTON

St. Patrick's day wascelebrat- ed in a most becoming manner at Alberten. At the request of the Pastr, the whole ceagrega- tion turned oat in a bedy to ap proach the Sacraments and the sight ef so many devout wer- shippers thronging the House of Ged at the early masses was truly edifying At nine o’clock, solemn High Mass was sung, with the choir at its best, the celebrant being the Rev. Dr Chaisson ef Palmer Road, with the Revs. Fathers Turbide & and Burke as deacon and sub-deacon respectiveiy. Immediately .be- fore the Introit ot the Mass. the weil beloved strains ef ‘“Pa- trick's Day” with organ & violon accompaniment, floated through the Church ; whose wo ds 2- waken 2 res ponsive echo in eve- ry lrish heart whether at home or abroad. The oration of the day was prenounced by the Rev Father Burke, and it need scarcelr be said that the subject could net have fallen into better hands. In fact, the Rev. Gentleman, whese heart was plamly in his work, seems to have exceiled himself on this

occasion, thrilling the hearts of

lrish people who, as he telis us, in his waking or sleeping, seem io be ever calling to him for aid, he ieaves his home to pre- pare himself by years of study in a theologicai seminary for the great work he feit called upon to do. And history informs us that he went te Rome to re- ceive the sanction of the Pope, his spiritual Head ; and we know that Celestine I, the thex reigning Poutifl, clothed him with Episcopal authority, con- ferred on him the nobie name of Patricins or highest title in the land, and with a blessing sent him ferth où his ardaous mission.

bequeathed through St. Patrick and treasured through succeed- ing ages as the most precious legacy a nation can guard. À ye, come weal or woe, imprisonnent or death, the 1rishman clung to his faith :he would not fors- wear his Spiritual Head, would not recognize Henry VIir ins- tead of Peter, would not shut off his dear departed from the reach of his charity ner give up his lo;e and veneration for the mother of God. And for these same traits : obedience to eccle- siastical authority, devotion for the Souls in Purgatory and re- verence for the name of Mary, the Irish peeple are noted the world over. And furthermore, istatisticians’ figure prove that the women of Ireland take pre. 'cedence of their European sist- :ers in the purity of their lives ‘and moraïs. Glancing at the in iner life oi :t Patrick, we see the secret of his success ; three vir- |tues shone ot preeminently in ‘his career : he was a man of ‘supreme penance.

This cut illustrates but very faintly the magnificence of the original.

The above reproduction is less than one-fiftieth the actual size, the engraved surface being

40x 16% inches, printed on heavy plate paper for framing. Actual size of Diture 46% x 27 inches. The publisher’s price is $25.00, unframed, and that is what a copy would cost you in the

artstores. It is a work that would grace the walls ofthe most palatial mansion in the land.

“The subject is treated in a masterly manner, the grand curve of the Horseshoe in the foreground leading the eye up to the tumbling, raging rapids above, and the broadexpanse of river beyond, with the islands in the middle distance and the face of the farther curve of the Horseshoe, as well as the great white wallof the American Fall partially obscured by the cloud of rising spray which is handled lightly with fine effect. In the great amphitheatre below the falls are seen the boiling waters, strongly and effectively depicted, and the two staunch little steamers that make their tours under the constant showers of spray. Never before has this subject been handled by any artist with equal force and impressive dignity. combined with deep, thorough feeling and delicacy oftouch.”—74e Rat/way Age.
