nov. DR.. osgoOd on catholioity in Europe.

In former number we gave an extract from
one of the racy letters written from Europe,
by the Rev. DIR. Osgood, to the New York Eren-
ing Post In q late epistle, after recalling his
general impressions of what he saw about re-
ligion in England, he thus alludes to the con-
dition of Catholieity the Continent:
81 came to the Continent to see some of the
charming churches and oathedrals in Norman
dy, where the sacred passion of the old Catho-
lie devotion appears rs had never before seen
it. Everywhere' it was very clear TO me that
religion is not dying out befoEe the new sciences
and arts.
In Normandy, France a wholly new state of
things opened upon me, and the Catholic
Churches were all in glow of devout life.
The editices themselves seem to feel the heaFt
of the people, and were expressive of devoht
zeal in their whole structure and adjoining
England has grand cathedrals yet they are
generally too empty and cold and their man
ayers have allowed them to be altered and
fenced up within, in such away as to break the
unity of effect, and make it hard to have one
adequate expression of the building as one
whole; 1t is true that this mischief is being
corrected, and better taste is uniting with
more generous bounty, to restore the great
temples of English faith to something like
their proper religious impressiveness. In many
cases, as at Chester and Salisbury, costly inn
proYements are in progress, and the Vandalism
of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries is
in many respects disappearing. In Normandy
apparently there has been no break in the har
mony between the temple and its use; and the
churches look and speak out their expression
upon you at once.
At Rouen, there n half dozen churches
that are wonders of impassioned faith and as
you enter the door you the whole story of
the incarnation befote you at once, rs beyond
the choir, with its high altar, you see the rich
lights of the windows of the Lady Chapel, and
need not be told what the building teaches, that
Gods word entered humanity by being
born of woman and that you must look beyond
the Divine Son to the blessed womanhood that
is forever eonsecrated by Him.
Iu Paris, the Roman Catholic Churches have
been carefully renovated aud are kept open in
q remarkable way, for not only may one find
entrance all day, but the large front doors are
usually opened that he who runs may see
in, and the altars statues and pictures seem to
be placed in arches arcades outside. Few
people comparatively are inside Mt one time, yet
the Impression is given one that religion
an institution is there great power; and in
the course of the whole week the number of
attandants is large. L found the beautiful
Church of the Madeleine full on Sunday ut
early Mass, as also the Church of the Invalides
and the new Church of st. Augustine.
In Southern Germany found great signs of
activity in the leading Catholic churches, but
i'll Northern Germany one feels q wholly differ
ent atmosphere, for secular education more
than church religion seems to be the ruling
idea.

ENGLISH BIGoTRY.-Protestants assume
that the esseace of their religion is that
each individual may and ought to educe
his religion from the source he thinks best
tread and choose When Catholics ex-
ercise this privilege of choice, they punish
him for choosing what he conscientiously
believes to be tue only true religion
was the case with the butler in the following
instance: s7- t'= sF
An English nobIeman of great wealth,
a liberal in politics, and one who passed
for an enlightened supporter of literature
and art, had need OF a butl2~ a man
called on him, and said he was leaving his
present place because his master was going
abroad, and would be glad to take service
with the Earl, who wanted q servant. The
nobieman made every inquiry, found the
man knew his business perfectly, had lived
in two or three families of the highest
position, and bore an excellent character.
He engaged the butler, who for six or seven
months gave him the highest satisfaction
in every way. This nobleman had son,
a little boy about six or seven years of age,
who took great fancy to the new butler,
and being somewhat spoiled and petted by
his parents, refused to walk out or go any
where except with the man. One day he
came running to his father and showed
him in great triumph what he called n
necklace, that he had taken out of the
buffers pocket. The said necklace was n
Catholic rosary, with q small crucifix at
tached to it. The Earl took it from the
child, sent for the butler, and asked whether
he was Catholic. The latter said he was.
Tho nobleman asked him why he had
never mentioned tltiS-hefeEe-- rISlae-itta4.
said he had not done SO because nc did not
think it was matter of any moment 10
what faith or creed or church he belonged
| The Earl replied he was very sorry to part
| with the man, but that he could not keep
| Catholic in his service. He wrote him Il
check for two months wages in advance,
! told him that he should be happy to give
him an excellent character Whenever he
was called upon to do so, but dismissed
! him. The man WAS not allowed to sleep
| another night in the house. Aud what is
! more, when the man did find place, the
| Earl wrote in reply to questions, put about
! his character, saying: i have no fault TO
/ find with him. He is honest, sober, clearly
| in his habits, understands perfectly the
care of wine, the keeping of plate and all
his other duties. Moreover, he never
/ quarrefed with his fellow servants and was
! a great faYorite with all the family. l
would never have turned him away only
! that l found he was Catholic and will
not have Catholic servants about me.'

your valuable and interesting journal comes

their fellow-men, for which they SO justly merit
the respect ard admiration of all who are 30
fortunate as to come in contact with them
The cause of our holy religion ID progressing
very rapidly in our city. The reception OF
converts to our holy faith is looked upon as an
ordinary occurrence. Our churches are becom-
ing toossmall for their rapidly increasing con
frepations which every Sunday, and in many
cases daily, attend the holy sacrifice OF the
mass Indeed, we feel justified in the belief
that Memphis will, ere many years, be looked
upon as n Catholic City. The Rt. Rev. Bishop
Feehan, ON the 9th inst, consecrated the now
with the usual solemn ceremonies prescribed
by our holy Church. There are two other
churches in course of erection, one of which
est. Mary'sl Is nearly completed, and when
finished will reflect great credit on the enter
prising spirit and religious zeal OF our German
ed. The Other is for~thc convenience OF tbe
Catholics residing in the northern part of
tho city, and is under the supervision OF the
Rev. Father Walsh, who possesses all the quail
tiles necessary for making his undertaking q
success, and rearing mp building which VIII
be an honor to God and a credit to our city.
Business prospects are daily looming up.
Our merchants are sanguine of prosperous
fall and winter season. Indeed, some of our
Oldest and most experienced citizens predict
the most successful, business season since be-
fore the late war. We earnestly hope their pre-
dfctions may be fully realized, not only for our
city, but for every city and village in the South
CRESCENT.
