 | | When we get weather of this kind in March, people will frequently be heard to remark, "Ah, March, many weathers." The truth of that saying has been borne out this year - at least from the beginning of the month up to the time of writing these notes. |
 | | The ides of March, May, July and October fell on the 15th of these months; the Ides of the remaining months fell on the 13th. |
 | | "The 17th day of March yearly is St. Patrick's, an immovable feast, when the Irish of all stations and conditions wore crosses in their hats, some of pins, some of green ribbon, and the vulgar superstitiously wear shamroges, 3-level grass, which they likewise eat (they say) to cause a sweet breath. |
