pondenee of the New York World, are cued from a
reform book Exit of Caliban and Shylock.n
Those who marry intend as little to conspire their
rnin as those who swear allegiance; and whole
people is to an i'll government so is one man or wo-
man TO an i'll marriage John Milton.
"a condition requiring the continuance Of marriage,
Notwithstanding change in the feelings of the parties
is absurd, shocking, and contrary to humanity."-
Jeremy Henthhrl.
Marriage having this peculiarly, that is objects
frustrated when the feelings OF both parties are
not in harmony with il should require nothing but
the declared will of either party to dissolve it,"
Alex. Humboldt.
"Thc subject Of marriage i usually discussed sir
fine interests Of children we're everything those of
grown persons nothing. John Stuart Mill.

purest love failed on either side was 10 better than
work of adqltery.R--Life of j. p Richter.
Monsieur, when wte's nature loathes that of y
man sheis welded to. marriage must be slavery,
against slavery all right thinkers revolt and though
torture be the price oil resistance torture must be

the gates OF death, those must be passed. for freedom
is indispensable. Charlotte Rronte

A SroJs1 on. LITTLE EMI6RAHTs.-"A few
weeks 96O,n says the Irish Times, our- Mayo
tISee little children, aged respectively eleven,
six and four, who were about to set out from
the neighborhood of LouisbuTg, q petty town,
the very existence of which is hardly known
out of Mayo, and make their way, via Dublin,
Liverpool and New York, to Chicago with no
earthly friend and protector in their COM
panYI and their sole ridtietR los. to pay their
way to Liverpool, and a ticket to carry them
thence to their destination. To English read
ers the tale must have sounded Incredible
But to our personal knowledge, the resolution
was not only seriously taken, but t/has been
since literally carried out. gentleman who
had read our commissioners letter happened
to travel mp to Dublin in the same train with
the three children, spoke to them, found them
shOeless and stockingless, found them without
a wrapper from the cold and rain and storms
of the atlantic in the late months of autumn,
found them without as much luggage as the
fancy little bundle which Linda carries across
the stage in the opera He gave them his rail-
way rug, and took them to some friends, who
equipped them in somewhat better plight
for their long Journey. But these acts
of kindness were accidents on which the
children had not Teckoned, could not have
reckoned. They only knew that from beyond
a wide ocean fathers's voice summoned them,
and they obeyed the call. There-was no grand
gentleman from an immigration office to place
them in safe hands. There was no benevolent
lady to see after their little clothes, any
human being to ask the question, Were they
hungry But alone and unaided, shoeless and
all but moneyless, in their new cotton frocks,
and skinny summer shawls, they undertook
journey which even a strong man with plenty
of money in his pocket considers serious one.
They were bright, intelligent children, one of
them q remarkably interesting one, just such
my lady's guests might, in all sincerity,
admire at the dessert, and coax and earess
from chair to chair, In the twenty years that
have now elapsed since the great famine; how
many tiny emil grants of this sort have left their
native villages, have forced the bewilderment
of big strange cities, the confusion of railway
stations, and quay, and dock, the lnrdships of
steamers deck of the steerage berths in the
emgrant ship, the peril of being dropped clean
out of human notice on their way, and perish,

X FIRST GRAND FAIR OF THE SEASON
The pop ulation in the vicinity of Annun-
citation Square are delighted to see new
church in their neighborhood. For several
wears our venerable Archbishop anxiously
desired to have a church in that place, rs
both st. Alphonsus' and st. Teresa's were
oxercrowded. Our good Administrator,
VERY Rev. N. j. Perche, and Rev. Father
Raymond, are equally anxious to have the
good work completed. Father Sheehan
feels grateful to the ladies, both of the
House of theL Good Shepherd and of the
Holy Cross, for their kind indulgence in
conceding him ths priority of time to hold
his fair, as his was among the most import
ant work of the seasonz-to build church
and form a new congregation. From the
list of the names of ladiesSwe can predict
that the fair will be a success; Several of
Father Sheehan's friends, who have not as
vet contributed, have expressed their de-
termination to patronize the fair 1iberally.
Father Sheehan avails himself OF this op-
portunity to return thanks to the officers
and members of the st. Aloysius Literary
Association for their entertainment, which,
while creditabIe to themselves, was equally
benefieial-to the cause.

MOVEMENT FOR UNION WITH THE CHURCH
ity that active steps are being SaKeh m hrfgg=
land to give form and substaRGe to an idea long
prevalent among large aud influential body
of Anglicans for union with the Church
body. AS the latest action in this direction,
we learn by our exchanges that Catholic
priest of high standing lately received visit
frora an anglican clergyman, who came to him
IS spokesman of a very large body of his col
<leagues in different parts of the country. The
object of his visit was to consult him as to the
besemeans of sending to Rome petition to the
Council of the Vatican. We quote from this
account.
The nth of the petition was, that should the
decision come to by the Council be unfavO rable
Gas the petitioners believed it not improbable
it will be) to the validity of Anglican orders,
that petitioners and others of their body who
have entered the ministry o. the English Church
into the Catholic Church, ordained as priests,
employed as such, and allowed, if married, to
continue so until the death of their present
INives-those married not to be employed as
coi1fessors. 1t is said that many of our Eng
Ish Catholic Bishops are favorable to the petit
tion, and that they will urge its adoption by
: the Holy Father and the Council. No doubt it
will bridge over q great difficulty, and-DEing
over to the Church an immense body of the very
the present we refrain from publishing any
names connected with the scheme, but for the
truth of what we have stated we can pledge
ourselves. The signatures affixed TO the petit
ton are already numerous, and are increasing
every day. 7

ALL SAINTS DAY.-Last Monday will be
remembered as one of the most, beautiful
days that ever blessed our community for
the great festival of "All Saints" In con-
sequence a larger proportion of the people,
if possible, than common \were abroad. 1t
is well known that the custom prevails
universally in New Orleans of visiting the
cemeteries on this occasion, and one had
but to inspect them last Monday to see
almost the whole population abroad. It
was pleasant to see the general decorum
that prevailed everywhere. Notwithstands
ing the great crowds and the festal
character of the day, no nnseemly merri-
ment could be perceived; every thing was
as quiet aud subdded as the character of
the places made appropriate.
Very few graves or tombs were left IN
cared~for, and from the Hottest monument
to the lowliest mound, flowers and immor-
telles attested the fidelity of human loxe
to the ties and attachments of former days.
The inequality of fortune, it is true,
followed poor humanity even into its last
resting place. Here was splendid marble
mausoleum beneath which reposed the
ashes of great man who had died full of
wealth and itonors !; there a simple grave
hid the remains of some humble laborer
whose family could afford only the plain
wooden cross which you saw at his head.
But the flowers were equally fresh for
both, and who can tell which had sthe
noblest monument hidden in some mourn
ing hearth
1t may be that, for many, the best
sermon of the year, perhaps the only one,
is heard in the yoiceless whisperings ofthe
cemetery on All Saints Day, or read on
some of its marble tablets in passing. We
observed one inscription to the following
effect: As you are to-day, I was yester-
day as ana ROW, yea shall be tomorrow"
How many thousands read that short
sermon and passed on with the happy
smile still on their lips, while the solemn
lesson was settling on their hearts with
mysterious powerl
1t is we'll to have the habit of communing
with the dead at least on one day in the
year, and it is we'll that our population
observe the custom SO faithfully. There
viii not be SO many. worshipers of the
nineteenth century, when people think
seriously of the twentieth.

THANKsGTvING-ThisN New England nstitu-
ton is in imminent danger. A strenuous effort
has been made to have it supercede Christmas
holiday, but failing in this, it is to be " re-
constructed" or abolished. The New York
WOrld gives us it's views on this latest phase
of the sanity movement:
Here is pretty piece of business. The New
England parsons want to blot Thanksgiving
from the calendar of holidays. The reason
which they assign for this revolutionary pro-
ceeding is that~it is no longer season of fast
ing, humiliation, or prayer, but season Of
jollity, feastingi and carousal. Themselves are
virtuous; therefore, there shall be cakes,
nor ale, nor exc the basted turkey, nor the
steaming sausage, nor the tawny pumpkin pie,
which, upon these pious anniversaries, have
been copiously ingested by the elect since New
England had existence. 1t is fortunate for
these dull and bigoted parsons that they have
no power to carry out their injurious purpose.
The people will stand som -ffffrin gements of
their rights. But war>to those who lay unhal-
lowed hands upon their flesh pots. The obser-
vance of Thanksgiving bids fair to survive
while the baTB<yards of New England produce
turkey, or her gardens nurture pumpkin, or
her orchards render the basis of that pungent
''sass"~whic has borne her renown to remotcst
lands and latftndes-the parsons to the con-
trary, Notwithstanding.
