Children, be devout and respectful to our
dear Lord in the Blessed Sacrament, and
heed not what others say or do to the con
trary. st. Casimir, King of Poland, was so
devout to the Blessed Sacrament that he
went barefooted to pay his homage and
alteration, and remained PROSTATE before it
many hours. St. Francis Borgia, when
Duke of Gambia, interrupted his hunting
pleasures to accompany the Holy Viaticum
and Ferdinand II of Austria; Sebastian, King
of Portugal, Thedosius II, Duke Of Bra
CANA, were also accustomed to show it par
ticular regard Saint Aloysius, the patron
and model of youth, had to force himself, as
it We're, from the church where it was kept;
and the celebrated Leopold, Archduke of
Austria, paid so little regard to human res
pect, that on meeting the Blessed Sacrament
in his road, he instantly dismounted from
his carriage or his horse, and bowed himself
on his knees to the ground in alteration; he
then demanded a taper from the bystanders,
and reverentially accompanied it on its way.

PROTESTANT METHOD OF SETTLING CHURn
DIFFERENcEs.-The disgraceful scenes at
tending DR.. Potter's sentence on Mr. Tying
are bearing their legitimate fruits. Courtesy
and the decencies of life are fast giving place
to brutal demonstrations, in which muscu-
lar arguments are found moro potent than
spiritual admonitions. The New York Evea-
ing Post referring to a late case, says:
"A Baptist preacher there had been invited
to resign, but declined to do so, and on Sun
day, morning undertook to administer re-
proof to the trustees for their impertinence.
One of these officials, careful of his own
lungs, called on the organist to play, which
the latter proceeded to do, there and then,
and SO drowned out the preachers voice
that he was obliged to desist, and left indig-
nantly. This was taking rather an unfair
advantage, but on the whole was more de-
corous and less noisy than angry contro-
versy in the Church. Hereafter it will be
we'll for those who propose to carry on coz
troversies in our Churches to find out be-
forehand on which side the organist is likely
to be engaged"

< CONGREGATIONAL SINGrNG.-On Easter
Sunday in the Church Of the Holy Redeem
er, New York the services wefe very i'm
pressive and beautiful, and renewed the
old Catholic feelings and devotion which
were generally prevalent lin the ages of
faith {..
The Tie Deum was sung, in union with the
choir, by nearly three thousand members of
the congregation. When will we, Anglo or
Catholics initiate or re-
vive the devotional habits Of old Catholic
times when the congregation and the choir
united enthusiastically in the Gregorian
style, in chanting the praises of God? How
much more appropriate, and in unison with
ecclesiastical tradition, to sing the simple
and harmonious chants of the ancient church,
than the ornamental, elaborate, and but too
often wretchedly executed pieces of modern
composers, many of whom think more of
their own fame, than of the subject matter
of the hymn, or the glory of God. In
church where 80 much Importance is very
justly attached to the rubrics, impressive
ceremonies, with solemn and appropriate
music, is a duty.

Nc magazine article for many years has
attracted SO aauch attention rs that IN the
AAantic Monthly for April, entitled ''our
Roman Catholic Brethren" AS was to be
expected, the opinions were diverse, de-
irving their impress and cOlOring from the

been perfect xocord-that of granting the
NEED of candor and impartiality to the
talented author.
In the Atlantic for May, he has second

part of which we publish this week. The
method Of treatment is somewhat more dis

honestly entertained. We do not deem it
necessary to dwell on passages which may
strike our readers as calling for criticism Or

BURIED WITH A HAMMER.-A carpenter
named Pierre Rocheau, and residing on
the outskirts of Paris, declared to his
friends that when he died be should like
to be buried with his hammer by his side
in the coffin that should contain his body.
why so = was the oft repeated ques.
ton /; but Pierre would only smile and
answer:
"You shall see. l have always had a
certain presentment.'
One day while saving a board the car
penter suddenly clspped his hammer to
his breast aud fell motionless upon the
floor.
The doctors were sent for-they looked
wise and said Heart disease" SU
Pierrc's coffin was made, and he was bu-
ried with the hammer by his side as he
desired.
He had laid up some money in the bank
two thousand francs, or Whereabouts,
and although it was suspected that he
had left a will, yet 10 will could be found.
This caused a quarrel among his relat-
ives when they met at his house. Each
one declared that Pierre had often told
him (the speaker) that he should have
the money when its owner died. From
words these loving creatures almost came
TO blows but in the midst of their quar-
rels the door opened, and Pierre Rocheau
himself walk d into the room.
II have been listening at the door,"
said be, land now l have to inform you,"
he added, with q grim smile, that being
the nearest relative to the owner Of the
francs, l shall claim the money myself.
You were in a great hurry to bury me-
he added, as l always suspected would
be the case, and that vas why l wanted
to have my hammer by my side. Not
being dead-as the doctors declared l
vas, and as you doubtless glad to believe
on account Of those francs-1 came to
my senses soon after being put in the
coffin, and knocked up the lid with my
hammer. Let every maj with francs 10
the bank be buried with his hammer by
bis side.

Bound TO GET MARmED.-A couple re-
Gently presented themselves at an Eng
lish church to he married. The clergy
man, perceiving that the bridegroom was
drunk, refused to perform the ceremony,
and after administering a reprimand to
him. told the bride to return with him the
next day. The couple did return the
next day, when the Bridegroom appeared
to be even more drunk than he had been
the day before. The clergyman then ad-
dressed the bride, and asked her how she
could think Of uniting herself to such a
confirmed sot. The girl replied with
touching maiuete. "Wiliy is not . con-
firmed sot, sir /; but when he is sober he
does not want to marry me, go l cannot
help bringing him here drunk if l an to
