to follow Chambers us, in the Ilook of
Days, he tracesthe footstcpsof St. Patrick
almost from his cradle to the grave by the
names of thc places called after him.
Thus, he says, assuming the Scottish
origin. he was born at Kll-Patrick, (thc
cell of Patrick,) in Dunbartonshire; he
resided for some time at Dal-Patrick (the
district of 1’utrlclr,) in Lanarkshire; and
visited Crag-1"hadri|z (thc rock of Patrick.)

sailed from Port-I'atx-lck, leaving behind
him such an odour of sanctity that
among the most distlmruisiieri lamilies of
the Scottish aristocracy Patrick has been
a favorite name rio\\'n`to the present day.
Arriving in England he preached at
Patter-dale, (Patriek’s vallev,) in \Vest-
morcland; and founded the church of
Kirk-Patrick in Durham. _ Visiting Wales

touched at the Isle of Man, called Innls-
Patriek, whcrche founded anotherChurch
of Kirl<~i’alrick, near the town of Peel.
Again landing on thc const of Ireland in
thc County of Down he converted and
baptised the Chlcfialn Dichu on his own
threshing-iloci-,an cvrnt perpetuated in
the word Saul-ie Sabbal-Patrick (barn of
Patrick). He then proceeded to Temple~

lofty mountain in Mayo, ever since called

thc case near Mount Stewart, where the
his reminiscences run back to days- spent
ln thc woods in winter-freezing bitter
days with the mercury away below zero
-when the mon of a settlement got to-

brought the tall strong trees to the
ground. And they ,loyed in their work.
The season was not to them the winter ol
discontent. "Ah" sold the old gentleman,
dwelling on this particular experience,
"wa were men ln those times; we could
go out and do as much work on one of
those cold days, as men can do now in
,two days. \Ve used to take out into the
woods with us for our lunch, thick slices
of barley bread, with thickiir slices of fat
pork placed between. The fatter the pork

used to cat this and eat lots of it, for we
were hearty fellows with appetites that
would frighten you nowadays, and than

would stay in the woods from daylight
till dark, and there was no fear of fire-`
wood running short during the following
summer. We were all the batter for that
kind of life-we never seemed to think
it was hard; we were all healthy, strong
men and able for all the tanks which
confronted us."
