Again the Lord Of all The realms above,
Supreme in might, but infinite in love.
With no harsh accent in Hi fones replied:
Go, drop this Emerald in the cnvious tide -
Quick the lightning cleaves thc conclave blue,
The seraph seized the proiier'd gem. and few

Sul struggling i'll the throes of turbid birth
And there, upon his seli-sustaining wing,
Sal poised. and heard our globe her mathis sing
Beleld the Sun traverse the archng sky,

Saw every constellation rise and roll

Had donned for him her morning aed evening robe
Till each land his critic eye was cast,
And every ocean rose. and heav'd and pass'd
Then, like some eagle pouneing Its prey,
He downward said, tbro' believing clouds and
spray,
To where he saw the bows bounding free,
And dropped the gem within stormy seal
And wouldst thou know, Chief of St. Patrick S
band.
Where fell this jewel from the seraphs hand?
What ocean caught the word-enriching prize?

Lo 2. in the midst of wat'ry deserts, wide,
Behold the EMERALD bursting through the tide,
And bearing on its ever-verDal sod
The monogram of seraph and of God

Then chimed eolian on the evening air,

To TEST WIxE.-According to a German
chemist a very simple test to determine
whether wine has been colored artlfcially or
not, is furnished by adding powdered super
oxide of manganese to the uspec.ed liquor,
shaking them together for a quarter OF an
hour, and then filtering. If the liquid be
then light colored and transparent, the color
is natural; if darkened, the contrary is the
case.

Fifteen F0llles.

First-To think that the more a man
eats, the fatter and stronger he will be-
come.
Second-To believe that the more hours
children study at school the faster they
learn.
Third-To conclude that if exercise is
good for the health, the more violent and
exhausting it is, the more good is DONE
Fourth-To imagine every hour taken
from sleep is an hour gained.
Fifth-To act on the presumption that
the smallest room in the house is large
enough to sleep in.
Sixth-To argue that whatever remedy
causes one to feel Immediately better, is
good for the system, without regard to
more ulterior effects. The "soothing
syrup" for example, does stop the cough
of children, and does arrest diarrhea, only
to cause, a little later, alarming convulsions
or the more fatal inflammation of the brain
or water on the brain; or, at least, always
protracts the disease.
Seventh-To commit an act which is
felt in itself to be prejudicial, hoping that
somehow or other it may be done with i'm
punity.
Eighth-To advise another to try rem
edy that you have not tried on yourself, or
without making special inquiry whether
all the conditions are alike.
Ninth-To eat without an appetite or to
continue to eat after it has been satisfied,
hoping to crafty the taste.
Tenth-To eat hearty supper for The
pleasure experienced during the brief time
it is passing down the throat, at the
expense of whole night of undsturbed
sleep and weary waking up in the morn
ing.
Eleventh-To remove portion Of the
clothing immediately after violent exercise,
when the most stupid drayman in New
York knows that if he does not put COW
er on his horse the moment he ceases work
in the Winter, he will lose him in few
days by pneumonia.
Twelfth-To contend that because the
dirtiest children in the street, or on the
highway, are hearty and healthy, therefore
it is healthy to be dirty; forgetting that
continuous daily exposure to the pure out
door air in joyous, unrestrained activities,
is such powerful agency for health, that
those who live thus are well, in spite Of
rags and filth.
Thirteenth--To presume to repeat later
in life, without injury, the indiscretions,
exposures and intemperances which in the
flush of youth we're practiced with impuni-
ty.
Fourteenth believe that warm air
is necessarily impure; or that pure cold
air is necessarily more healthy than the
confined air OF close and crowded vehicle
the latter, at most, can enly cause fainting
and nausea, while entering conveyance
after walking briskly, lowering a window
while thus exposed to draft, will give a
cold infallibly, or an attack of pleurisy or
pneumonia, which will cause weeks of
suffering, if not actual death within four
days.
Fifteenth-To remember the Sabbath
day" by working harder and later on Sat
urday than any other day, in view ofsleep-
ing late next morning, and staying at
home all day to rest, conscience being
quietcd by the plea of not feeling very
well.

EMERALD OF THE SEAS.

W. H. (Caxton) Rhodes delivered beautiful
poem on the occasion of the celebration of St.
Patricks Day, at San Francisco The following is
portion oft, copied from the Herald
The eve of God, before His hand had made
Man in His image, this wide realm surveyed;
Der hill and valley, stream and wood,
He glanced triumphant. and pronounced it good. "
But ere He formed old Adam ard his bride,
He called shining sraph, to His side,
And pointing to our world that cleaned afar.
And twinkled on creations verge, q star,
Babe him float round this and narrow span,
And bring report if all were ripe for man.
The angel spread his fuatt'ring pinions fair,
And circled thrice the circumambient air
Quick, then, as thought, he stood before the gate
Where cherubs burn. mnst ring spirits wait;
Nor long he Stood for God beheld his plume,
Already tarnished by terrestrial gloom,
And beck ming kindly to the hurried aid,
Said, Speak your wish if good, be it obeyed."
The seraph raised his gem encircled hand,
0beisanee made, at heavens august command,
And thus replied, in tones so bold and clear,
That angels turned and lent list'ling ear
q Lord of all systems, be they near or far,
Thrice have circled round yon beauteous Star,
I've seen its mountains rise, its rivers roll,
Its oceans sweep majestic to each pole;
Its floors in mighty continents expand,
Or dwindle into specks of fairy land;
Its praires spread, its forests stretch in pride,
And all its valleys dazzle like a bride
Hymns have | heard in all its winds and streams
And beauty in all its rainbow CLEANS
Bat whilst the LAND boast of every gem
That sparklcs in each seraph's diadem
Whilst diamonds q laze meath dusk Golconda' s
skies.
And rubies bleed where Alps and Andes rise
Whilst in Brazilian brooks the topaz shines
And oPas burn in Californian mines
Whilst in the wales Of Araby the Blest
lhe sapphire flames beside the amethyst:
The pauper Ocean sobs forever more,
Ungemm d, unjewelrd, on its wailing shore 7"

Such healthful gales to purify its air,
Such fertile soil, such ever-verdant trees,

THE VICE PRESIDENTS MANSION.

At the opposite end of the town, the
west end, beside Lafayette square, stands
the very modest house which jenkins de-
lights to call the g Vice Presidents man
sion The unimaginative truth about it
is that tits alittle, neat old fashioned house,
with white face looking meekly up to its
loftier neighbors soaring and spreading
above it. 1t was mansion," perhaps,
under the old regime, but Washington is
no longer a Southern city. Brown stone
fronts and French roofs have already put
to shame the perky little gables and high
side steps of the ancient Virginia mansions.
The house Colfax inhabits has its history.

eyes, and look of robust health unusual

in them is handsome, but nothing too hand

Feast of St. Ignatius.

All devoat Catholics have special de-
votion to st. Ignatius, and a special affec-
ton for the splendid order which he estab-
,lished:- When the Devil entered into an
alliance with the fallen monk, Luther, as
archleader of another rebellion, the AL
mighty raised up the Spanish soldier,
Ignatius of Loyola, to overthrow him in
fair contest, as He had formerly done with
Michael, when Lucifer himself fell. The
greatest Protestant historians have record
ed not only the triumphant opposition made
by the Jesuit order to the'pfogess of Pro-
testantism, but the remarkable coincidence
of its establishment at the very juncture
when its services were most needed.
While Catholics every where look upon
the Jesuits as the right hand of the Church
in its conflict with its present heresy, Pro
testantism and InfideliSy are not slower in
measuring their strength and rewarding
their prowess with the full need of hatred
and persecution. Suppressed in one region,
prohibited from entering another, robbed
in many places, maligRed and traduced
every where, the position of a Jesuit among
worldlings is very little better than was
that of Jesus himself.
We hope that all Catholics will make a
point of celebrating the approaching festi-
val of st. Ignatius with devotion. A notice
published elsewhere gives the order of ex-
ercises at the Jesuit Church, on Baronne
street. The forty hours alteration will be
continued without interruption, day and
night, during the Doth, Both and 3lst inst,
and on the last of those days the panegyrie
will be preached by Rev. j. B. Jobert, of
St. Augustine,s Church.

would fain he an gartist For his own
DEDICATION and tho entertainment of his
readers he has penciled a fanciful scene,
representing Catholic Clergyman as
ifpushing his way into o Presbyterian
sabbath school, hectoring one little child
and berating an unoffending lady" and in
yading the promises sin ruffianly way"
Respectable as the reverend gentleman's
inventive powers are, in the conception of
calumnies against g Poperyb and ssPopish
priests" be is far beneath -mediocrity, in
those qualities that are needful to obtain
credibility and for attractive establishment;
qualities which more giftsd limners,in the
school of mendaeity possess. Isoa
The picture is pet one with him. He
spends dass ID rms Studio, ! pep sinahd brush
in band keekdpg teSi niprdyeGats Aketch, and
exhibits it every Saturday morning, but he
IA sodefcieas,S in srsigric abilities, that he
never can get beyond the feebleness of his
original crudity.
The opportunities he has had of observing
the workings of human passions would
have eiifbfed d moro sisiifI hand TO have
wrought presentment of fearful interest.
For instance, in his s.filiation with thuggery
in New Orleans, had he not before him the
aspects of the horde of demoniac rufiians
who made murder a profitable trade for six
years? And in the groupe he was define
ating of womanly suffering and childish
fear, could he not have brought to mind the
facial expressions of the widows and
orphans, whose protectors had been
slaughtered by the hirelibgs of Know
Nothingism If he were not content with
the models New Orleans furnished for his
portraiture, surely he might have been
satisfied with the study of that ever
memorable scene in Louisville, where the
'liberality of Professionalism approved itself,
one glorious day, by burning down whole
square of tenements occupied by unoffend-
ing laborers, whose wives and children,
escaping from the confiagration, were seized
by his political kindred and thrown back
into the flames to be consumed.
But the reverend gentleman is no artist.
He is botch with the pencil and q daub
with the brush. No opportunities Of
observation improve him, and if he does
not retire his picture from public view, he
will be consigned to the rank of painter
of signs for gift lotteries, or letterer for
Helmbold's buchu. on fences and curb

Sc. V1scENT,s HosiE.-Th children in
this; excellent Institution are not merely,
sheltered, fed and clothed, but educated.
They receive good moral and intellectual
training, calculated to fit them for the sub
sequent duties of life as Christians and
citizens. These children are to have their
annual examination, too, like others whose
parents are able to pay for their education
at expensive establishments, and no doubt
they will take as much interest in the
event, and receive as much pleasure from
success as their, young brethren of more
comfortable condition.
We hope that all friends of the institu-
tion will make a point of being present,
and we shall take special pains to be pro-
perly represented on the occasion. The
exercises open this afternoon ata o'clock,
and the Homsn is easily reached by the
Canal street or the Common street cars. -

q MALICIOUS OUTRAGE.-On Tuesday
morning man entered st. Patrick's church
on Market street, and walked deliberately
up to the Blessed Virgins altar, and as
eoolly and deliberately smashed q splendid
statue of the Blessed Virgin and some
beautiful fewer vases which stood on the
altar. There We're several men in the
church at the time, who, not suspecting for
a moment the intentions of the wretch,
allowed him not only to pass unnoticed,
but they knew nothing whatever of his act
until they heard the noise caused by the
fall of the broken pieces, and some filthy
utterances which he made nse of. He would
have been made short work of only for the
fortunate arrival of a clergyman, who
happened to enter the church inst as he
was being firmly graspeti by hHff dozen
stalwart hands. He may we'll consider
himself lucky, and we hope his higotted
insanity will teach him ~ lesson that win
bring him to his senses.-SdH francisco
