Another Catholic Miracle.

There are doubtless as many sensible
and intelligent people among Catholics as
in any other religious sect, but there are
likewise great many fools, rogues and
putty heads who profess to be devoted chill
dren and servants of Mother Church at
Rome. Among this latter class are the
miracle mongers who have lately sprung up
in France and Italy. A late Paris paper
records another Catholic miracle to this eff
feet: A peasant girl at Lourdes, on the
banks of the river Gage, near the Pyrenees
mountains, while gathering wood, was en-
ticed into grotto by beautiful lady dres-
sed in white, with blue sash round her
waist. The girls name is Bernadette Sou
birons, and she told such plausible story
Of this apparition that the Bishop of Tar
bes either believed, or pretended to believe
her. When Bernadette had came into the
cavern the beautiful lady announced her
self to be the Virgin Mary, the mother of
God. Che told the girl that the famous
Immaculate Conception, about which
Catholics have differed, is true and so forth.
and she pointed cut pool of water where
the sick could drink aad be healed The
celestial character of the apparition is held
by the Bishop of Tarbes to be placed be-
yond all doubt by the great benefits which
religion has already received, through the
testimonies given to its truths at the grot--
to of 'our Lady of Lourdes Not only
have souls been converted but bodies have
been healed. The Bishop says it will cure
every ailment incidental to man, woman
and child, and that it beats homeopathic
and allopathic prescriptions out of the field
Gases that have resisted all the skill and
efforts of the faculty have been successfully
treated by this wonderful water. The de-
mand for it has become immense, and it is
In request in every corner of France. The
cures, he tells US, which it effects are pro-
dueed by water quite destitute of any
natural property, it follows that they must
be brought about by some supernatural
property. The cures are the work of God.
The lady in white, seen and heard by the
girl Bernadette, is the Blessed Virgin -
Are we not justified in asking, whether we
are really living in the ninth or the nine
teenth century?

Habit Of Exaggeratlon.

Il will skin you alive if you do that
again, exclaimed mother to naughty
child: 1t was sort of hyperbolical ex-
preston that has crept into frequent use,
with a multitude of expressions of similar
character. She did not mean that she
would fay her little one as q butcher would
q calf or lamb. The execution of her own
threat would fill her own soul with horror.
She would not have strength to make such
progress IN the very barbarous work of
skinning her child alive. 1t would not be
motherly.
:! will whip you within an inch of your
life,' said father to his erring son. This
would be terrible whipping indeed Com
ing so near deaths door with the rod would
be revolving But he did not mean this.
He only meant he would administer very
severe chastisement. No one would be
more careful than he not to jeopardize the
life OF his son. His expression was only
form OF exaggeration which society seems
to tolerate.
How many precisely such speeches are
made IN almost every circle. 1T was done
quick as lightning 1T is as cold as
Greenland There is no end to such ex-
pressions. And they indicate that the hab-
1T OF exaggeration in the human family is
very strong. Human natures seem inclin-
ed to stretch the truth That is the reason

The Stevens Battery,

The appropriation for the Stevens Bat
terry, says the National Intelfgencecr, has
passed both Houses of Congress with ma
jority Of more than two to one in its favor,
thus showing their decided opinion as to
its efficiency. To the bill is annexed .
proyiso leaving it to the Secretary of the
Navy to decide whether the vessel when
finished well be an efficient war steamer
In view of this expression Of opinion on the
part of Congress, We do not doubt that the
Secretary will himself decide this point
fayorably, and give to the country war
vessel which, in the Judgment of experts,
is destined from its impregnability, unprs-
cedented speed and power, far to surpass
any other now afloat, and so far as we know
any now in course of construction or pro-
posed to be constructed at home or abroad.
An additional reason why the Secretary
may be expected to act at once is that the
bill provides for the immediate completion
of the battery. She could be completed,
We understand according to the estimate
adopted by the Board of Examiners of last
summer, in four months in time to furnish
us most important and powerful auxiliary
in our present struggle.

THE ANSWER.
SWEET HOME, April

SWEET HOME, April -
Ny Robert, how brave and noble you are!
Too brave and too noble, know for me;
But you've too little faith in me by far
If you believe want to be free.
I'm not released from my promise-no, mol
Twas never so sacred TO me before;
If you could but know how I've longed to go
And watch by your side, you'd doubt me no more
l read your name in the terrible list
But the tears froze back that sprung to nv eve;
Aud fearful PAIN that could not resist,
Crushed my heart til oniy lolged to die,
The blessed tears, by-snd-by, came again,
And felt, as you III your letter said,
feeling of glaIness, mid all my pain,
That Robert was only wounded-not dead,
Oh, darling! to think you have suffered SO,
And all these long weary miles away;
You We needed me very often, know,
While could do nothing but hope and pray.
But hardest of all is the bitter thought
That you have been suffering much for me;
Poor Robert! your manly letter has brought
A strange melange Of Joy and misery.
But you're coming home to my arms and heart;
You're right an proud and sensitive too;
But I'm only so when we are apart,
And nOw-I shall only be proud Of you!
You're coming home to happiness and rest,
And wait the moment of blissful calm,
When shall be held TO u Soldiers breast
BY PatriotHero's one strong arm!

in the basket, and William was ready to 90
up stairs, but glaneing back he saw his
wife near the FIRE place, her hands clasped,
her head bent, and large tears falling from
her eyes. He was beside her in an instant.

the matter?'

From the Bedford INQUIRER.
Meddling in Political Matters.

1t is remarkable how fastidious some peo-
pie are upon some subjects. They cannot
think this and do that, because according
to their delicate notions, such conduct is
inconsistent with their position and insult
ed to their profession. But it is still more
remarkable that these fastidious people
should find so much fault with the ministers
of the gospel, who, in this dark hear of
the country, have given their voice, their
influence, and their prayers, in behalf of
the efforts now being made to crush the
rebellion, unparalleled in wickedness, and
to save government, the best and most
benefcent ever established by man They
say this is medding in political matters
that clergy should stand aloof, and laymen
alone should tend to such acorldly affairs
1t is not So A conflict in which tha very
life of the government is involved is not a
question of parties and politics-is not a
political matter in the sense in which the
word political is used by these grumblers,
but is political matter according to the
true meaning of the term, and there is no
consideration of any kind, relating to heav-
en- or Garth, that absolves the patriotic
preacher, any more that it does any other
patriotic citizen from the high, solemn and
religious duty of maintaining to the utmost
of his power and influence, the government
of his country
Why should not an Ecclesiastical Con-
ventlon lend its support to the government
by suitable expression of its sympathy
with the men who are struggling to defend
it? Why should not christian preacher
pray earnestly and devoutly, for the sue
cess of the Federal armies, and for all the
means to put down this accursed rebellion?
Because the rebels are our brethren for
sooth . Oh! it is a fraternal war, and
should be stopped! Let there be peace !;
peace, even though the government of the
confederates should be tablished-the
stars and stripes trampled in the dust-the
Republic destroyed, and the hopes of man
kind blasted forever.
The Great Teacher declared that those
only were his brethren who knew the will
of God and did it. Our political brethren
are those only who love the Union and the
Constitution and are willing to risk all in
their defence, not those who with parrici-
dal hands have raised the standard of re-
volt. The same teacher declared that they
that are not for US, are against us. The
sincere friend of any cause never doubts
or hesitates, but cheerfully and earnestly
gives his whole soul to its defence These
are the indications by which this and fu-
ture generations, will judge of the fealty
and loyalty of Aen in these times of trou-
BILE and danger to the government.

How they twne about the hearth
Like the moss that mantles grim decay,
OF life they are the brightest part.
The old man, in his retrospect,
Il ever most begulled
Bv the cherished memories of the spot
Where he sported when child.
In the long, dim vista of the past,
He views no scene so fair
As the cot where first he saw the light,
And felt u mothers care.
The sunshine of that first fond home
Still fingers in his eyes,
And its warmth upon his aged heart
Like a blessed vision hes.
The mist that yelled his sight has fed,
Again he ia u child;
His footStep is as light and free,
His laugh as clear and wild.
He seeks each well-remembered nook,
The rose tree by the wall,
The hillside sloping to the brook,
The misty waterfall
The messy spring so deep and COOL
The arbor and the vine,
The trellis where his sisters hand
Trained tho sweet Colunbine.
He hears tho orioles dulcet notes
In the old homestead tree;
The tinkling of the distant bell,
The mprmur of the bee.
Once more unto the stream he loved,
With birchen rod, and line.
He hies to lure the timid trout
As in the days lang syne."
He bounds along the woodland path,
fair one by his side
A sister who, long years ago,
In her youthful beauty died.
She sleeps within the churchyard bound
Amongst her kith and kim
To join them, through its narrow gate
He soon shall enter in. 'TYRo.'
