CATHOLICISM IN HAvAKA.-A correspon-
dent writing to the NJ p Tribune. from
the above city, under the date of the sth inst.
says:
On thursday last the ceremony Of the
"crucifxtion" was gone through. On Fri
day, which was more like a Sabbath than
any other day 1 have before seen in Cuba,
there was very large and gorgeous pro-
cession, in which there was carried in COW
cred mausolum representation ofthe dead
body of the Savior, which was followed at a
respectable distance by two figures design
ed to represent the Virgin Mary and Mary
Magdalen. That evening all the ceremony
of an interment of the wooden figure was
gone through, and on the ensuing morning,
1Saturday,) about minutes before 10
O'Clock, all the outward signs Of woe were
thrown aside; the churches were suddenly
emptied; guns and crackers were fred ;
dogs, with tin kettles fastented to their tails
we're let loose in the streets.and business was
resumed with the utmost briskness.
In the evening there were masked balls,
theatrical representations, &c.

Spain, now entreat, and that in vain, anC
are held up to scorn by what Gregory XVI
called the "ever TO be detested liberty o.
the press" But why does not the Pops
put an edict upon these things? His bull,
have lost their thunder even in degraded
and sunken Spain. In Sardinia the State
talks of taking some of the wealth of the
Church. He hurls his anathema, but Sar.
dina, part Protestant, and part Infdel
goes on needless of his denunciation.
The lecturer described the present stale
Of Italy-spoke of the eastern war, and Of
its influence on the spread Of truth in West
ern Europe, by giving those enough TO do
who would check it. He then asked why
was not Plus TX consulted about the war ?
Because the civil rulers of Europe knew
that his powers over the masses Of the peo-
pie was gone. The lecturer endeavored to
show that this was also the case in Mexico,
and in South America.
The contest for the proprietorship Of
American Churches and the School Ques-
ton, show that the Catholics who come to
America mean to be free, and to disregard
the anathemas OF both Pope and Bishop.
The Church wanted originality; its doc
trines were old, and the world was tired of
it; and this doctrine of the immaculate con-
ceptiOn was to introduce something new to
revive the zeal of Catholics desperate
remedy for desperate case.
Implicit faith is the requirement of the
Church, but the human mind will think,
and Catholics will think too. They cannot
but wonder, if this doctrine is necessary
now, whether good Catholics of the last
eighteen hundred years have gone to Heav.
en- without it. They will begin to question
the infallibiity that made this new addition
to their faith
This movementright in the face of Gods
Bible, will hasten the downfall of Rome, and
unless a great change occurs in the next
II years, Plus TX will need no successor.
The world is moving and it will run right
over Rome. Ny conviction is that this
silly and wicked doctrine is hurrying Rome
down to occupy place right by the side
Of Mohometanism.
May God hasten the downfall Of all er-
ror, and the establishment of truth and
for Christ's sake.

GOing Aheld.

By john G. WHITTIER.
! hear the far-olf voyager's horn,
/ see the Y snkee's trail
His foot on every mountain pass,
On every stream his sail.
He's Whistling round st. Mary's Falls,
Upon his loaded traini
He's leaving on the Pictured Rock
His fresh tobacco stain.
] hear the mattOck in the minss,
The axe-s:roke in the dell,
The clamor from the Indian lodge,
The Jesuits chapel bell!
l see the swarthy trappsrs come,
From MlssissiPPis springs;
And war-ehiefs with their painted bows,
And crssis of eagle wings.
Behind the squaw's birchsn canoe,
The steamer smokes aud raves;
And city lots are Etaksd for sale
Above old Indian graves.
By fOrest.lake and waterfall,
/ see the peddlsr's show;
The mighty mingling with the mean,
The lofty with the low.
l hear the tread OF pioneers
or nations yetto be;
The first low wash Of waves where soon
Shall roll human sea.
The rudiments Of empire here,
Are plastic yet and warm;
The chaos Of a mi ghty world
Is rounding into form.
Each rude and jostIing fragment soon
Its fitting price shall find
The raw materials of a State,
Its muscles aud its mind!
And westering still the star which leads
The new world in its train,
Has tipped with fire the icy spurs
OF many a mountain chain.
The snowy cones Of Oregon
Are kiAdled on its way,
And California's golden sands
Clean brighter in its way.

The grace of God begets, in the man that is
born of the spirit, natural hatre to sin, though
he loved ii in his old estate. The vulture's ma
ture is to prey with hOrrid preference, on the
putrid carcasses of the dead. But did you ever
see the gentle dove gOrging this OathsOme fOOdl
So the sinner feeds with delight on The numer-
Gus enjOyments of his iniquity, ike the carbon
eating bird Of prey, W lille the regenerate soul
has a holy disgust Of all that is of ensive to its
heavenly nature.

Written at My Mothers Grave.
BY @. E. PRENTICE.
The trembling dew drops fall
Upon the shutting flowers, like souls at rest,
The stars shone gloriously-and all,
Save me, ere beSt.
NJ other, l love thy grave,
The violet, WRh its blossoms blue and mild,
Wave DER thy head; when shall it wav
Above thy child7
'Tis n sweet hower-yet must
Its bright leaves to the cunning tempest bow
Dear mother, tits thine emblem-dust
Is son thy brow!
And could love to die
To leave untasted Ife's dark, bitter streams
By thee as erst in childhood die
And share thy dreams.
And must linger here,
To stain the lumage Of my sinless years,
And mou m the hopes Of childhood dear
With bitter tears7
Az, must lnger here,
A lonely bran ch upon a withered tree,
Whose last frail leaf, untimely soar,
Went down with thee7
on from llfe's whitening bower,
In still communion with the past. turn
And muse on thee, the only flower,
In memOry's urn.
And when the evening pale.
Bows like mourner on the dim blue wave
stray TO hear the night winds wall
Around thy grave.
Where is thy spirit flown7
gaze above-thy look is imaged there
liston-and thy gentle tone
Is on the air?
Oh, come whilst here l press
My brow upon thy grave, and in those mild
And thrilling tcnss of tenderness,
Bless, bless thy child!
Yes, bless thy weening child,
And DER thine urn, religions shrine,
Oh, give his spirit undefiled,
To blend with thine.

If the sun shines an a dull brick or stone,
they reflect none Of lie beams, there is nothing
in them capable Of this; nor is there in an un-
gOdIy man. any natural power Of rejecting the
light Of God. But let the sun shine upon di-
amOnd, and see what rays of sparkling beauty
it emits. Just so the Christian who has the
grsces of the spirit; when God shines on his
soul, beams of celestial lOveIiness are reelected
by him on the world.
