(2 Thess. ILL., 81. Please examine our Re
liglon; it does not fear the light. DO not
be troubled by the priests gown or cap
The Catholic Religion IS not the gown or
the cap, or any of those exterior things
which strike your carnal eyes. Those
things are found all right IL well under
stood; but they are not the Catholic Re
ligion they could he changed, or dis
pensed with, without altering our faith
Examine our religion in itself, not in its
epresentations,--in its genuine nature,
not in countcrfeits forged by our enemies
Take our faith such rs ,0e have It. not as IL
is pictured by those who hate us. Prove
our faitll to be error; prove, If You can,
but prove "kindly," and don't spit insults
into your neighbors face. Let us see who

when and wherever found
There my friends, you have a fair chance
TO show both your logic and your 'ldnd-
ness, your zeal for truth, charity and
unanimlty, the characteristics of the dis
ciples of Jesus, whose sweet name has been
associated by you, heretofore, with so much
bitterness and ill-will against your neigh
bors, who do and wish you no harm. i.

THE .RvNG ENGRAvING.-.One of the
prominent features of the Crosby Opera
House Art Association scheme is the inn
mense number of the elegant engraVmgs
from the works of great artists which are
circulated by Mr.. Crosby. There is not an
inferior subject or nm inferior picture
among them. They represent the works OF
such long-established and pronounced ar
lists as Cropsey, Faed. Huntington and
Schuessel, aud the engravers who have
transferred the subject from the canvas to
the plate have done their work conscien-
tiously. Especially is this true with regard
to the Irving picture, from the canvas of
Schnesse's great historical painting. The
picture represents the genial author
Washington Irving, mt Sumuyside sur
rounded by his friends, he himself forming
the center of the renowned group. At his
riobt sits Prescott tbe NJscaulov of An,,r-
| ica. and at his left tbe creator or ! ootbor
Stocking. At the extreme right the South
is represented by VIM. Gilmore Simms, and
at the extreme ,on the rino scholar and
