In spite of the disagreeable weather
last Tuesday evening the Congregational church was crowded to listen to
Prof. Byron W. King, of Pittsburg.
Rev. Boyl must be congratulated on
securing the noted elocutionist. It
is difficult to give an idea of the entertainment, so varied was its character, two hours being consumed by the
artist, which passed away like so many
minutes. Prof. King is an earnest student, .a master of his art. His original
wit, which sparkled here and there,
kept his audiencein a delightful frame
of mind. To particularize on any one
rendition would be invidious, but his

Yesterday was the day of the Shamrock. "Wearing of the green" on this
day is a symbol of patriotism as well
as a commemoration of one of the
most remarkable saints in Christendom. St. Patrick's work was the conversion of a pagan nation. In addition
to this he is honored as a statesman
for having by his teachings fitted the
people to develop their nationality.
He was something more than a
churchman, and there is no civilized
people who do not recognize the beneficent work which he performed in
the elevation of his people. The legend
of the shamrock is well-known, and
its use as an emblem is due to St.
Patrick. At the sarne time It stands
for Ireland, as the thistle stands for
Scotland, the rose fox England, Its
use in that respect is heraldic, and as
ancient and historic as the others.
The Irish Druids-before St. Patrick's
day held the shamrock in great repate.
They belieyed it to be a charm against
Witchcraft. The symbol of life is now
an anchor, but'it was formerly a little
child with a sprig of shamrock in its
hand.
