In 1895 he retired to private life ia the society

He died on the Seth of May, 1904, greatly

He was a man of eminent literary taste and
sne personal endowments. The Correspondence

We have received a beautifully printed little
work with the above title. 1t is tale of religious
action and interest, told in very felcitous man.
nsr. The incidents are stirring and we'll adapted
to the propositions of the work and the refec-
ions aptly directed--evincing an excellent
knowledge of the suitable and naturally acces-
ary. In it. religious teachings it seems to have
ben designed by the author as inductive to a
further and more mature understanding of the
ienets it advocates which, the reader will readily
perceive, are strictly Catholic. In times, how
ever, when i, is the evident, perhaps the not un-
important disposition of the public mind to
search all things," this tale is of seasonable
publication: not the less SO, certainly, that the
mdgio.narrative works of the present day are
characterized by the ortter in re, or that the au-
thor NAV have adopted the more compromising
o: conciIiating extreme; for sach works will IN
v,riably, in their lneaments trace theil pafen'age
b the times which produced them. The occur

Philadelphia a reputation which it will take we

they assume a well sustained narrative inrcrest.
