CATHOLICS IN THE UNITED STATES
Mary land, the first State where the Roman
Catholic Church gained footing. now
contains eight hundred and seven Protes-
tant Churches. and only IS Catholic con-
greeationy. In Floaida the Catholics early
made settlement. Now there are ITO
Protestant and only Catholic Churches.
Louisiana WAS settled BY the Catholics. who
now have 50 Churches in the State, while
the Pto,estants h ave 247 congregations
Ia Texas, the Catholics were the Grst
sect In point Of time; they now have Is
Churches, but the Protestants report S07
societies in the State. The number o.
Episcopal, Lutheran. and Roman Catholic
Churches are nearl, the same throughout
the country, but each ofthe three denomi-
nations have about 0ne-eleyenth Of the
number of Methodists. scarcely one.eigtL
that Of the Baptisis. and not one--fourth
that OF the presbytefians. The entire
Protestant population Of the country, COM
pared with that Of the Catholic, Is about

TIE LOVE LETTERS.



Still on the tower stood the yane,
4 black Yew gloomd the stagnant air,
reerd athwart the cssaaeed pano
And saw the altar cold and bare.
a clog Of lead was round my feet,
4 band Of pain across my brow;
'tCnld altar, Heaven and earth shall meet
Before You hear my marriage VOW.
l turn'd and humni'd a bitter song
That neek'd the wholesome human heart,
Aud then we met in wrath and wrong,
Ne laet. but only meant to part.
Iull cold MY greeting was and dry;
She family smiled, she hardly moved;
saw with halfuuconscious eye
She wore the colors | approved.
She took the little ivory chest.
With halls sigh she turn'd the key,
Then raised her head with lips compressed,
And gave my letters back TO mei
And gave the ttinkets and lie rings,
Ny aiifs, wiser gifts al nine could please;
q s lpoAs father on lie Things
Or his dead son, looked on these.
She told me all her friends had said
| ragged against the public liar;
She talk d as if her love were dead,
But in my words were seeds of fire.
"No more OF love your sex is known:
never will be twice deceived.
Henceforth trust the man alone,
The woman cannot be believed.
Thro' SANDER, mcanest spawn of hell
(And woman's SANDER is the worst,)
And you, whom once loved SO well,
Thro' you, my life will be aecurst."
spoke with heart, and heat and force,
shook her breast with vague alarms
Like torrents from mountain source
We rush'd into each others arms.
We parted sweetly gleam'd the stars,
And sweet the vapor- braided blue,
Low breezes fann'd the beliy iars,
As homeward by the church drew.
The very graves appear'd to smile,
So flesh they rose in shadow'd swells
"Dark porch, said, "and silent aisle,
There comes sound of marriage bells"

The Boston Herald in a clever article
on the railway dead-head system, remarks
Editors do not pass free over railroads,
and they are not drad-heais in any sense
OF the term. They pay more tor their rail-
road fare than any other class OF people
The charge ofdead -headism ought to BIZ
reversed. The railroads are dead heads

VIRGJ INA

BY Ii. n. NJ.
He loved her-yes, he loved her
True as human heart could love,
As a being, bright and glorious,
From the happy world above;
And he never dreamed that woman's heart
so pure and good as hers
Could toss away the ardent love
OF many happy years.
He little thought that when her lips
10 his were fondly prese'd,
And when her quiet, gentle head,
Was piowed ON his breast,
That she could Ger forget the VOWS
In childhood hours plighted,
And leave his heart barren waste,
Deserted, lone, benightedl
All could she see that troubled brow,
And read the lines which care,
And grief, and woe, and Indebtedness
Have plainly written there;
Methinks her heart would feel a pang-
A tear would dim that eye,
Which once SO fondly glowed with love,
When his s.dear form was nigh.
