poor emigrant is ut home in the first church
ne comes to, and every priest is his father.
This is one of the most important differen-
ces between our Roman Catholic brethren
and ourselves; and it is one which gives
them q most telling advantage in this cOun-
try among educated persons who love vir-
tue and lOathe the profession of it.
This Sunday school mass lasted thirty
five minutes, ut the end of which the priest
put on his black cap and retired. A curtain
was then drawn across the altar, which ex-
empted all from the obligation of bending
the knee on passing it. A furious uproar
arose when the mass ended, caused by the
gathering of the classes around the teachers,
and getting ready for the next exercise,
which was catechism. For about half an
hour theswhole body of children were en-
gagged in saying their lesson, and in hearing
the comments Of the teachers upon it; and
as there were two thousand OF them, the
noise was great. Nevertheless, there was
very little intentional disorder, although
the air was SO agOnizingly impure as to en-
nance tenfold the difficulty of keeping or
der, and of keeping in order. Windows
were opened, but it was of NO use: the air
never can be even tolerable in that base
ment when there are five hundred persons
in it.. After the catecllism, the superinten-
dent mountedra platform in the midst of his
flock. and reduced them to silence by the
sound of his bell. Then he crossed himself
Son, and the Holy Ghost. Amen" while
all the children rose to their feet He then
said, "The Gospel for the day is,'-and
read it to the children, all standing. He
next said, "Kneel," and all knelt on both
knees, with the body upright. He said a
very short prayer, Give or six short SEN
fences, which the children repeated after
him. The school was then dismissed.
Usually, however, they spend the last
fifteen minutes in singing u few simple
songs, set to easy, lively music. DR.. Cum
mings, who was the late pastor of this
church, and was venerated in it, composed
a Sunday school hymn book in the last
years of his life.

however, who kept up sly whispering in
the ears of their neighbors, and the coun--
tenanccs of very large number were cX
pressive of-nothing.
The supreme moment of the mass, an
nounced by the ringing of the bell, is at the
elevation of the Host. Now, for the first
| time during the service, there was silence
| in the room; and every head was bowed,
while the priest said inaudibly, in Latin:-
"Accept o Holy Father, Almighty, Eternal
| God, this Immaculate Host, which 1, Thy
unworthy servant, offer unto Thee, my l;]
ing and true God, for my innumerable sins,
| offenses, and negigences, and for all here
present as also for all faithful Christians,
both living and dead, that it may be profit
able for my own and for their salvation unto
life eternal. Amen" Soon after this So
lemnity, ten or fifteen children, from nine
to eleven years of age, went to the altar
and communed. All this army of children,
except very few under seven years of age,
have been confirmed, and consequently are
communicates. Many hundreds of them
had been recently contirmed-clad in white
garments, adorned with flowers, accompa-
MED by parents and friends, and surrounded
by whatever is most expressive OF JOY and
hope.-In this easy and pleasant way our
Roman Catholic brethren ''join the church,
AS we have already observed, there is not,
among Catholics, anything of that distinc-
ton between those who "belong to the
church, and those who do not, which is SO
painful, and as some of us think, SO deeply
demoralizing circumstance of American
life. There are good Catholics and bad
Catholics, devout Catholics and neglect
f full Catholics; but all are Catholics; all are
members of the church; all can at any mo-
, ment resume neglected obligations without
t taking the public into their confidence
The attitude and condition of each soul is
a secret known only to itself, and to one
other. Hence, there is no such thing as
roll of members in a Catholic parish, and
there axe nc fogfmalities attending the trans

The Application of Manure.

IL is md!tor of great Importance to tAe
farmer to know how and when to apply ma
nurc to the land, to gct.ao greatest crops and
give tho most benefit to the land al tho same
time. + hsye experimental considerably,
and havo como to the conclusion that on my
land tho manure drawn out and spread, late
in the fall, will give the greatest amoant of
corn and wheat or rye to follow with clover,
than in any otlor way | can uso it. drew
out and spread manure on three acres, in the
Fall, and when the snow was on the ground
drew out and spread on two acres more,
and i'll the Spring, after the frost was all out,
manured two acres and plowed it in--plow-
ing also the other five acres, which wero all
IN tho same field, and equally as good land.
The corn was planted tho first week in
May, and all hood and tended alike. At har-
vest time it was all cut up by tho roots and
shocked in the field; when lit to husk, the
Fallmanured turned out sixty bushels to the
acre, tho Winter-manured fifty bushels, and
hatmanured in the Spring only fortyfve. The
ground wasaown with rye, and there was about
the same difference to look at, but did not
throsh and measure it separately. On the
| clover do not think that there was much
difference between tho Fall and Wintcr.ma-
nurcd, but that manurcd in Spring was but
little moro than half as good as that in Fall
If manure is drawn out for corn in the
Spring, it should be plowed in immediately,
or it will lose large portion of its goodness
| have sometimes plowcd in the manure in
tho Fall, but have giyon up that as being too
expensive, as tho ground must bo plowed
again in the Spring to give tho young plants
a good early start.

Improvement in Grain.

Experiments haye demonstrated, and anal

farm and stock) ge have tho Short horn, tho
bloodcd horses, and the different breeds of
shocp, swine, poultry, oto. Experiments
have not beon made on tho human spocies !;
but the samo, no doubt holds good hero.
We plant and SOW CAS- it comes" we
take tho seed of the grain that wc uso in the
aggregate, and SOW it. Is not this tho case
almost univorsally2 Corn is IN exception
to some extent--but why do We except corn {?
Because it is handy to sclect. But why Sc
lect at all 4! Because it is understood to bc
good. Analogically, then, it is good to do
tho same with wheat, OATS barley, etc. But
this is less easily done; We therefore neglect
it. How long will it take farmer to 90
through his wheat, and secure the finest and
ripest heads sufficient to SOW an acre, or half
an acre, or quartor-or even pint Of seed 2
This pint sowcd will be sufficient to form
test crop, The best heads taken from this
again and sowcd, will yield another test crop,
from which should bo takon as before and
SO on for number of years, say half dozen,
moro still better But threo or fo,lr years
will work decided difference. But the thing
should be continued from selected seed every
time In this way grain oan be improved
and crops enlarged. There will be larger
grains, earlier maturity and bcttor growth.

as she was called They were married. Mr.
Winters moved to distant county and settled
IN thriving town. Here they lived peace
fully and prosperously James Walker was n
wanderer, and in his pilgrimage ho wandered
to the beautiful town where his wife and her

"Who did you marry, Winters ?"
"l married Mrs. Kato Walker, the widow
| of gallant Southern soldier of Hood Texan
Rangers"
James Walker rushed from the house and
fled to the riverside. On the banks of the
Colorado he sat down to try to think, try to
shape his thoughts. He was wild, almost
mad JOY and sorrow, hope and despair, were
surglng over his soul. lie must see her, sec
her face to face with Mr. Winters, let her
know his wandcrings in search of her, ana le.
her make tho choice between them. AS
oalmly as possible ho returned to tho Hotel.
:" Mr.. Winters, excuse me sir, but desire
to speak with you privately"
"With nc 90
" Yes sir, with you"
The two called for private room, what
passed thcro know not They were closoted
for nearly two hours, when they came down
stairs and walked toward the residence of Mr..
Winters. Reaching the gate they passed up
to the house between the fg-trccs and ever
greens, they entered the door-closcd it after
them.
" Kate Kate p called Mr. Winters.
She entered the ltto parlor, darkened by
She window curtains, and inquired what was
wanting.
Did you call me, Mr.. Winters 2"
Yes, raise tho window curtains"
She did so, and the mellowcd light fell up
on the form of James Walker, who stood
spccchlcss, and white as death, before the vito
of his bosom, the wife Of another With QUO
loved look she sprang into his open arms, ex-
claiming, "NIy husband oh my husband
God has given you back to heal my broken
hcart-Oh God, thank Thee p
Mr. Winters wiped the tears from his eyes
and moving up to the strange picture, he said
as calmly as he could, "Kato, tako him, you
arc worthy of him, will do nothing to mar
your happiness God bless you, and prosper
you--f farewell" !"
lie was gone. No voice of cntrcaty could
summon him back. He went into lawyers
Office hurriedly.

"Stop Winters and tell mo what this
means"
" You will know it all; call on my wife,
she will explain it good bye"
The Deed was written, aigncd and record
ed, when Winters left; and James Walker
and his wife k>atc had no truer friend, as the
future proved, than lIr. Winters.
