A shelter from the wind of Doctrine,

The Catholic Telegraph commisserates the
Protestant perplexity about the observance
of the Sabbath, and the lawfulness of eating
butter and cheese that are made on that day,
and shows how they can put an end to their
troubles. The disease is desperate, and may
need a desperate remedy. We quote the
TelegrdpEs diagnosis of the case, and its
prescription:
'They are tossed by every wind of doc.
trine, because they have not the authority Of
the Church, which would give them not only
the reason why the first day has been sub
stituted for The seventh, but also directions
as TO the manner of observing it."
Can not the Telegraph enlighten us be-
fore we make the fatal plunge2 Nowadays
the sick patient likes to know something
of the nature of the medicines which the
physician uses, before he commits his case
to him. Can not the soul have the benefit
of the same system?

The Humbug of Pike's Peak-The Severity

poor-heuse than come out here. l have not
spoken toa woman since Icame to the noun

fever, which is very dangerous. Every body
is going home. There is hardly any money
in the country. AS for gold, have seen
some, but it is not:plentiful yet. 1 have not

INFLUENCE OF ToRoUATo TAsso's MoTHER
ON HIS LIFE.-Torquato Tasso's father had
attracted no inconsiderable attention among
the great as poet and man of letters.
1t was during the ecomposition of his Anadi0i,
while residing N the beautiful city of Sor-
rento, situated on the Bay of Naples, the fu-
ture author of GerVSalemme Hberatd was
born. His mother continued for several
years to give him daily instructions, with
his sister Cornelia, from the time he reached
his fourth year until her health became i'm
paired. Then he was placed in a Jesuit
seminary, where, in less than three years, he
not only became an accomplished Latinist,
but made considerable progress in Greek.
Political difficulties had now. forced his
father to abandon Sorrento, and, what was
still worse, his property was confscated.
His mother was entitled to a considerable
dowry; but she sought in vain to recover it
from her brothers, until, bowed down with
grief at being separated from her husband
and children, she entered the monastery of
San Festo, where she died of broken heart.
Notwithstanding this early separation, and
the untimely death that soon followed, Tasso
never forgot his mother. Her teachings
conthued to influence him through life; the
precepts that she had instilled into his
youthful mind afforded him consolation
amid the worst of his misfortunes, as some
Of his finest odes testify.

EXTRAORDINARY PREsENTIMENT-The "
sion of a Coffin the Forerunner of Death
The Schenectady IN. " NeVs vouches for
the truth of the following;
A very remarkable case of presentiment
bordering on the supernatural, has just been
told us by gentleman nearly related to the
persons concerned.
Mr.. W, who resides in Schenectady
County, in the town of Niskayuna, about
three weeks ago. was awakened from his sleep
by an unusual noise, which he thought pro-
ceeded from the adjoining room. More sur
prised than alarmed, he lighted candle and
went in the apartment, which was used as a
spare bedroom. AS he opened the door his
light went out with the current of air, and
he was in total darkness. Presently, how
ever, as he turned to grope his way back, the
room grew light as a cellar on a rainy after
noon through ground glass overhead, and
Mr.. W dimly saw his eldest son on the
bed clad in the habiliments of death, and
the coffin beside him, resting on two chairs
across the foot end.
In moment the illusion vanished, and
Mr.. W returned to his own room and
struck another match, and again entered the
spare bedroom, but every thing seemed
natural as usual.
Little was thought of the optical deusion,
but last week the eldest son of Mr.. W
was taken i'll, and he died last Friday. He
was bright boy of some ten summers.

The Prince on sunday

The Prince attended church yesterday
morning, giving the preference to the Epis-
copal, as becomes a future head of that
Church. A large devotional crowd at Christ's
Church, and an excellent sermon were dis
appointed by his not attending there in the
evening, according to announcement. The
spirit of the worship was somewhat affected
by the disappointment. Princes should set
good example in attending church. The
Princes recognition Of the claims of religion
ought to impress eur people as strongly as it
did the correspondent of New York EVening
Pest when he saw the Prince in church at
st. Johns, New Brunswick. He acquired an
increased respect for religion when he saw
the future King of a realm on which the
morning sun never ceases to shine, bowling
himself meekly before Heaven, and confess
ing that he had done the things that he ought
not TO have done, and had left undone the
things that he ought to have done, and that
there was no health in him; a humility
which deeply impressed the correspondent
because he thought it impossible that a
was all pure condescension.
1t is calculated to have an excellent effect
in our best society, to see Prince acknowl-
edge that even he is subject of Providence.
We have no doubt that the sermon was suited
to the occasion; and although the fear of
mingling sightseeing with our devotions,
prevented our attending, yet as the ire
sponsible editor of one of our morning CO.
temporaries had no scruples on that head
the conscientiousness being entirely limited
to the irresponsible editors we hope that
full report ofthe sermon will be published,
that all may profit by it. If we should
mingle material considerations with SO
moral suggestion, we might refer to the
additional inducement that this literature
would be a vast improvement in life and
animation, to either of our morning cotem-
poraries.

what Constitutes a True Republican.

The Cleveland Herald, in noticing the
announcement that Thomas Ewing has come
out for Lincoln, says:
mo truer man to the cause of free labor
ever lived than Mr.. Ewing; no man truer
to the slavery question, as viewed by the
fathers of this Republic, ever lived than Mr..
Ewing, and he belongs to the Republic
ans, and we rejoice that he has identified
himself with them. One word from Mr..
Ewing is worth thousands of men to our
cause in Ohio"
Then let all the Republicans go into po-
litical seclusion, and suck their paws for
eight or ten years, unable to take interest
enough in either party to vote, if this is
what makes a man "true to the cause Of
free labor" and "to the slavery question as
viewed by the fathers of this Republic" !"
We suspected that there was not much
sincerity among the active Republicans, and
now we have it confirmed by their organs.

When Mr.. Spurgeon got back from his
continental tour, he told his congregation
how he saw the elephant. He described the
great gambling palace at Baden, and said
that while the game was making, the temp
tation to ''cbip in'' was almost irresistible.
Alasl if Spurgeon, with the good thing he is
making out of the people, and an illimitable

The BENEFIT OF PHYsIoGNoMIcAL STUDY
A story is told of great French satirist,
which finely illustrates his knowledge of hu I.
man nature. He was travelling in Germany,
in entire ignorance of its language and cur
rency. Having obtained some small change
for some of his French coins, he used to pay
coachmen and others in the following man
ner: Taking handful of the numismatical
specimens from his pocket, he counted them,
one by one, into the creditors hands, keep
ing his eye fixed all the time on the receivers
face. As soon as he perceived the. least
twinkle of a smile, he took back the last
coin deposited in the hand, and returned it,
with the remainder, to his pocket. He af-,
terward found that, in pursuing this method,
he had not overpaid for any thing.

Spring Grove Cemetery-A Breeze in the
YnIe nf Lehnshn MINT

Vale of JehOshaphRt.
The Directory of this place are not enjoy
ing that attitude of repose which is usually
thought emblematical of the dominions over
which they reign. The annual election of
Directors takes places to-day, and the long
monotony which has governed those events
is disturbed by lot-owner, who has pre-
sented his grievances to the other lot-owners,
in circular, inclosing a ticket, intended to
revolutionize the management. 1t seems
that leading manufacturer and inventor
wishes to apotheosize the great invention Of
his life on his lot in the cemetery. To this
the Directory object, and the inventor appeals
to the lot-owners.
1t is very singular that man can not put
what structure he pleases on his own ground.
But suppose that he is subject TO limitations
in Cemetery, the question of taste is by no
means settled. Figures of heather gods,
and limitations of the architecture of heathen
temples, and all sorts of NEUROLOGICAL de-
vices are allowed, but exceptions are made
to the enshrining of a steam fre-engine, a
feature peculiar to our city and most honor
able to the inventor. Would any object to
the propriety or taste Of placing an iron
printing-press over the grave of Franklin?
Is not Jefferson represented with roll con-
tanning the Declaration of Independence un-
der his arm? Is an achievement in the use
fnl arts any less worthy to be honored2 Is
the invention which has distinguished a
mans life unfit to be suspended in real form
over his grave2 Emblems connected with
the future world are regarded as peculiarly
appropriate for the tomb. What could be
more significant of hope and faith and due
preparation for the future than great steam
ire-eDgine2 We trust that we have said
enough to present the merits of the case TO
every rejecting mind.

We discharge pleasing duty in observing
that much credit is due to our worthy
Mayor and to the police under his direction,
for the efficient and proper manner in which
they made the Princes progress practicable
in our streets, and protected him from the
too familiar curiosity Of the crowd also to
the Mayor for his polite and unfagging
attentions to the Prince, which must have
added greatly to the pleasure of his visit;
and particularly for his selfdenial, in fore
going bis fixed religious rules and we'll
known rigid conscientious scruples, to act as
manager of the ball at the 0pera-house, and
toattend the Prince there. If the Queen knew
at what a sacrifice of conscience this was
done, it would greatly enhance her gratif-
cation at the Difference which has been paid
to her son in foreign country.

EXCITEMENT IN THE CANADIAN Provinces.
Some of the Canadian papers are excited
over the following Startling intelligence"
which appears in the Cape Breton NeVs:
The circumstance of the French transport
Perdrir taking on board at the Sydney
mines, lately, large supply of several hun
dred tuns of coal for Croc, in the Straits of
Belleisle, conclusively, it is alleged, estab-
burton's allegation that France is laying up
large stores of coal in her North American
possessions. The French war steamers are
constantly arriving here, and they depart
hence with supplies of coal. The popular
belief is, that there must be some inexplic-
able reason for these occurrences. 1t is re-
ported further that the Psrdriz expects to
return to Sydney in the course of a month
or six weeks for a second cargo.

"In some of the Universities ofthe Middle
Ages there was disposition to enthrone
Dialectics and Scholastic Theology as the alb
solute sovereigns of the realms of thought,
and to trammel the Investigations of science
quence."
The fact is suggestive. Is not the same
consequence inevitable from the enthrone-
ment of theology as the absolute sovereign
over the realms of reason, as over the evil
dences of science2 Yet does not theology
always assert this supremacy
