1 The wife of one of the most eminent
bankers of Paris went, few days since, to
one of the most fashionable 1nantua-
makers to try on some dresses. As she
was leaving, she compimented the mantua-
maker upon the courtesy, good nature, and
skIll OF the seamstress who tried on the
apparel The matua- maker replied: "She

bankers wife returned from the Italian
Opera, where Mile. Patti had drawn an
immense audience. AS she was entering
her door she saw from the carriage window
a girl Tag picker hunting carefully among
the refuse of the house thrown in a heap
before the door. The girl had the usual

ST.. THERESA Last Friday the frs
Communion of the children Of ST. Theresa,l
parish took place. They were two hun
dred IN nGmber, the majority being rather
on the sid6 Of The girls. One could NOT
but be struck with the neat and even ele-
CANT appearance of the children, - they
went through the varied movements Incl
dent to the occasion, with the most perfect
order and decorum, the boys dressed in
black jackets and white pantaloops, the
girls clad in white, with their long white
wells and beautiful wreaths, and all bearing
aloft handsome wax candles lighted.
The interest takeL by parents and friends
in an occasion of such solemnity and i'm
Portance was manifested by the immense
number of persons present. High mass
commenced at seven o'clock, yet early as
was the hour, the church was densely
packed with a devout and attentive con-
gregation. Mr. LaHache, in charge of the
choir, .ontdid his usual success ON great oc-
easions, and accompanied the solemnities
with music of the highest order. In this
he was materially assisted by the College
band of the Christian Brothers, on Foucher
street.. .sls,.,f s-r,,ya
Rev. Father Kenny sang High Mass, as
sisted by Rev. Fatheras hehan and Allen,
mi, nnavoi SaS and aub-dSY Rev Fatber \ Mr.
ply, $. j., who was expected to preach the
sermon, Father Kenny was obliged, not sot..
outstanding his fatigue, to address the
children. This he did in few but touching
words. It was about nine o'clock, when,
the children left the church, at which time
they proceeded in double line TO the priests
house, where slight but agreeable refresh
meht was awaiting them. .ss7a4r
The earnest zeal of the good clergy of
this parish has this year been rewarded
with ample fruits in the shape of the first
communion. Where the clergy are Jealous,
children are nearly always accessible and
docile. Even5when their parents are indif-
ferent, they can be brought under the influ- |
ence of religious Instruction, especially if
they attend schools where religion is prop
erly respected. e cor

THE LAST OF MAx.-The ceremonies for
the conclusion of the month of May were
peculiarly beautiful in our churches this
year, but as the celebration was SO univer.
sal we cannot with Justice particnIarize in
favor of any one church. The month of
Mary may now be considered a DEVOTION
firmly established In the affections of our
people. Every year will probably see a
more crowded ATTENDANCE at, the daily ex-
ercises during the month, and greater
splendor in the beautiful concluding eere-
mony of browning the Blessed Mother
Il The young, the fair, the innocent are
selected to decorate her brows with a
crown, not of earthly power and authority
which she never coveted, but of filial love
for which her heart yearns. 1t is indeed
lovely sight, such as was witnessed last
Monday, to see long lines of little girls or
young maidens, in garments of snowy
white, each crowned with a wreath of
flowers, kneeling around the statue of their /
mother and singing sweet verses in her
praise. The act of placing the crown on
her head, of throwing at her feet the
wreaths taken from the head of each parti-
cipant, the countless boquets brought and /
by the hands of even the smallest
children-everyt thing shows that this day I
might properly be called the festival of the
love.
The world may laugh at the tenderness
Of sentiment encouraged by the Church.
1t may be sneered at as old-fashioned and
childish. cit may, in contrast with the
eager selfshness and cold egotism of world
" life, appear romantic and unreal, but it
Will still be true, as it always has been,
hat the grand interests of life, 30 eagerly
pursued, are mere phantoms, and that love
b the essence of all existence. /

blessed results to the future of the Church
and the world. A man, entering upon life,
with young family, may, while his heart is
yet warm and unhackneyed, deliberately fix
upon such a sum as will be sufficient, in case
of his removal, to provide for his family ac-
cording to their accustomed style of living
As his house increases, he increases this
amount, and secures it by a life policy. Tie
is thus left free with the growing margin Of
his income to indulge in generous Chris
tan hospitality, and to bestow literally to
the cause of benefcence, free from all doubt
or anxiety as to the prudential limits OF
giving, and from the danger arising out OF
the habit of gathering and boarding. 1t
thus presents means to unlock the treasu-
ries of Gods people, and pour their abund-
ance into the lap of the Church, by obviat-
ing the dangerous necessity of accumulating
and keeping, and thus giving liberty to both
heart and purse. Suppose a multitude of
the followers of Christ should adopt this
plan; fix upon the sum which would provide
a reasonable competence for their families,
and secure it by means of life policies, and
then deyote the whole surplus of their in
