OF iNTEREST TO ENGLISH LADIES
ALSO!

The Pope seems to have given some very sound ad-
vice to certain devout Roman ladies who waited upon
him the other day with an addresa and an original ode,
written by one of. themselves.

Beloved daughters (said his Holiness`, I have received with
pleasure all that you have dolne and spoken, and I recognized
the good will by which you are actuated to labour always
for the glory of Gal. At the ascension of Jesus Christ, two
angels upbraided thus who remained in astonishment and
motionless with their eyes turned up to heaven. Jesus Christ
had gone up to heaven to open Its gates to us; Ile had
ascended, all radiant in Ills brightness, and attended Ivy the
souls of the lust whom he had lust delivered out of pilaus.
It was indeed natural that those who had seen a man go
thus miraculously up to heaven—that those who had come
thither w th Jesus—should remain fined in wonder, gazing
upwards in their amazement. But the angels came,
and said to them, "Why stand ye thus looking idly up
towards heaven!' tio rather to the upper chamber- the
angels seem to have meant—go there and p ay with the others.
You see, than, dear daughters, that it is always wrong to stay
still in Idleness; yes, even when we are looking up to heaven
tome wonders. Ins word, we ought rather to act—rather to
act than gaze This is what you have to do always and every-
whereyou can—whether at your country-houses, or amongst
your f dew's, or in the midst of your families. Yes, there it
good lobe done by you in your own housey Even in your on
houses you inay have have t.ome little disorders to cure; some
of those li bulldog to you need setting right. If so, set them
right charit,bly and strive to bring them to a good life.
Keep on praying fervently; keep on working and setting a
maid maniple in all times and in all places, WI then you will
not have to be upbraided that you, too, "stand looking up
to heaven."

A few such words as these acMivssed to English ladies
by some political pope in whom they feel confidence
would be of great adi!antage (continues the Pa// Mall
Gazette). While they are looking at St. Stephen's they
are too apt t.. 1 forget that "there is good to be done by
them in their own houses." Woman must not think,
howcrver, that though his Holiness the Pope advises
her to 'set right some of those belonging to her," he
would approve of her "nagging," at man unneces-
sarily. Man should be approached with the greatest
tact, and if kindly and judiciously treated is by no
means incapable of becoming an agreeable if not an
edifying companion.
