JESUIT MISSIONARIES The Jesuit
missionaries. with undoubtetl heroism,
made their way into the dark places
of the earth. They founded flourish
ing settlement in Brazil that seemed for
a long time full. OF delightful promise.
They halt-converted the japanese; they
ruled Mt Pekin. and made tie Chinese
acquainted with Western science; they
penetrated TO Ethiopia; they softened
The savages of Canada and Illinois: and
they proved their sincerity and herosm
by thousand arduous exploits. Yet
similar i'll fortune seemed to attend all
their enterprises, and China, Japan.
America, Ethiopia once more repelled
With bitter hatred the oppressive SWAY
OF Rome. A multitude OF pious and
earnest Jesuits. whose pure and holy
lives have been sacrificed in vain, have
labored and died in sayas " ildernesses,
IN heathen cities, i'll malarious jungles.
and in icy solitudes; but the intriyues
and vices OF their Italian masters have
uniformly destroyed the fruits of their
marty rdom and self-devotion.
With their home missions the Jesuits
were more successful. Here. too, they
strove to unite arms with letters, and to
plant their free schools in the heretical
North by diplomacy and the sword.
They steeled the heart of Charles V.-if

his Protestant subjects and he was soon
induced to commence bitter war

Hungering for God.

Men often hunger for God when they

They have the comforts of liie-good
homes, good wives. dear children-kind
iriends-moncy, respectability, iniiu-
cnce. honor, ,office-power-bu they are
not satisfied-They are really greatly
dissatisiicd-They feel unutterable long
ngs-irreprcssible and insatible desires
for something more and higher, and in
iinitcly better than the best of these

Really il is God. for the soul was made
for the enjoyment ofGod and only with
His fullness can it ever be filled.
They want, a one has well said ''The
knowledge of God, the appreciation OF
God. the internal manifestations of God
consciousness lighted by His pres

IN His Love, and be centered everlasting

And yet so ignorant are they of theil

they will scoff at the idea, and 90 on

Mr.. Moroba Cannoba, Q Hindoo
Judge Of the Small Court of Bombay,
prominent opponent Of The custom
which prohibits the remarriage Of Hin
doc widows, has just adopted . very
pratical method ofproving the earDest-
ness Of his opinions. Mr.. Moroba is .
widower. and he has published an ad-
vertisement In the Bombay newspapers
offering to marry e Hindoo widow, on
the following conditions
''No female need apply whose age
IL under twenty or above thirty-five
years, or who has children by her first
husband. The application should show
the names Of the applicant, Of her de-
ceased husband, her father and her
brothers, il she has any, her present
age, her place Of residence, whether
she kn yws how to read or write, when
she became widow, who has hitherto
supported her. and whether she be
ready and willing TO perform the nec-
essary religious ceremony before the
close Of the present marriage season.
The names of all rejected applicants
shall not be disclosed by me. and. il
required, shall return the original
applications when have selected one.
All applicants should be prepared to
have one or more interviews with me,
in the presence of such friends as the
applicant may name. but at a place
and time to be fixed by me. In order
that my second wife may have a snug
competency after my death, l shall Sc
cure for her pension of rupees, so
any a month. by becoming q sub
scriber to the Uncovenated Service
Widow Fund"
The advertisement has called forth
a number of letters to the newspapers
from persons protesting to be widows
or widows guardians, asking for fur
ther information on some curious
points. Others appear to be rather
exacting in their conditions. One lady,
for instance, wishes to know whether,
in addition to or in lieu Of the promised
pension, the advertiser would arrange
to secure husband for me before his
death, as my object in entering into a
second wedlock is simply to have .
husband, and should he (Mr. Moroba)
die like my husband | shall again be
left widow If he is prepared to
nominate successor, the lady adds,
she will be happy to send in an appli-
cation.

Az ESanssis STORY.

Paul Nentnor was the curate of
Bladesburg. with wisdom in his head,
with tenderness in his heart. but with
little money in his pocket
One June morning. AS he was coming
round the poiter's lodge Of Foley Hall,
he heard sweet plaiptive, voice say

He raised his heal, quite started ont
of his equanimity. On the steps sat a
Young woman. Her checks were tear
stained. and her head and shoulders
were enveloped in shawl. That she
was suffering was evident, yet she wore
neither the air nor the dress Of an ordi-
nary mendicant.
He stopped and regarded her for a
moment, and then dropped coin into
her outstrctched palm. She did not
close her hand she did not look up to
see if he was young or old. or down at
the coin to note its value.
Thank you,, she murmured, never
raising the dark eyelashes from the wei
cheeks.

longer together with that. And then
Why, can beg again, even if it kills
me. Oh, kind sir. it is work that

Thoughtfully the young curate stood
with one hand holding his hat and tn
other in his pocket. Then his eyes fel
