THE STAR AND WATER-LlLY,

The sun stepped down from his golden throne
And lay in the silent sea;
And the lily had folded her satin leaves,
For sleepy thing was She
What is the lily dreaming of?
Why crisp the water blue?
see, see, she Is lifting her vanished lid
Her white leaves are glistening through
The rose is cooling his burning check
In the lap Of the breathless tide;
The lily hath sisters fresh and fair
That would lie by the roses side.
lie would love her better than all the rest
And he would he fond and true.
But the lily unfoldcd her weary lids.
And looked at the sky so blue.
krmcmber, remember, thou silly one,
How last will thy summer glide;
Ana wilt thou wither virgin pale,
or flourish a blooming bride.
ON the rose is old and thony and cold,
ANA she lives on the earth, said shes
But the star is fair, and he lives in the air,
And he shall my bridegroom be!
But what if the stormy cloud should come
And rutfe the silver sea:
Would he turn his eye from the distant sky,
To smile on a thing like thee!
Oh, no, fair lily, he will not send
one ray from his far-off throne
The winds shall blow and the waves shall flow,
And thou wilt be left alone.
There is not a leaf on the mountain-top,
Nor drop of evening dew,
NOT Il golden stand on the sparkling shore,
Nor pearl in the waters blue,
That he has not cheered with his tickle smile.
And warmed with his fathess beam
And will he be true to pallid flower
That floats on the quiet streamt
Alas for the lily, she would not heed,
But turned to the skies afar,
And barred her breast to the trembling ray
That shot from the rising star;
l ne cloud came over the darkcncu sky
Nht looked III vain through the beating ram,
And sank in the stormy tide.

The brave heart still, SO fondy loved and blest
The light gone forth from those prophetic ewes.

And let the deep voice of the minute-gun

And Freedoms fires with hoer light Shall burn

THE BATTLE FIELD OF GRAVELOTTE, DE-
SCRIBED BY AN AMERICAN.

There were, for instance, four or five thou
thousand dead men in sight. Here, there,
everywhere the poor fellows had been tumb-
led over. We came upon a Frenchman

spicuous letters 50 God with u.s. On the

his hands. He had been killed as he was
making ready to fire, and had crouched in

the head.
SHOT THROUGH THE HEAD
At his side was a larger man, through
whose naked head q CHASTITY furrow had been
ploughed and from it the torn brains issued.
His chassepot was clutched in his stiff hands.
In the same neighborhood was a French

Explanation Of the Dogma II Infallibility
Vicar General STAIRS explained the infal-
libility dogma in ST. Patrick's Church. New
York, last Sunday. He sAid that the Pope,
as man, is fallible as other men. and no
Catholic believes that he may not err in
doctrine, in preaching and in conduct, tia
same as other men. The Vicar General
put the case as parallel to the decisions of
the Supreme Court of the United States
from them there can be no appeal and are
to be acted upon Is if infallibly right. So
with the Pope, the highest Judge in the
ecclesiastical judicial system. He said:
"'Infsllibility" means this and no more
or less that the Pope, sreaking er cathedra
officially from the chair OF St. Peter de-
ciaring anything Rs to matters of faith-is
infslible. This attribute belongs to all the
successors Of St. Peter, the visible head of
the church. Christ prayed for st. Peter
that his faith might not fail, and SAID,
Peter, thou art the rock, and on this rock
l will build my church, and the gates OF hen
shall not prevail against it, 4 give tnee

"All that Christ gave Peter belongs W

as delegated authority. This doctrine Is,

In their explorations the Yale scientsts
now out in the West came upon a burial
platform, such as used by the Sioux, upon
which rested the remains of an Indian
warrior and his wife the wife, according to
the guides, having slain herself in the belief
that by so doing she would accompany her
husband to the spirit land. Science scout
ing any such things as respect or admiration,
our scientists forthwith hewed off the heads
OF both Indians, and i. is understood they
are soon to enrich the Yale College Museum.
Suppose some living Sioux had come upon

Female Complaint,

That claims its victims throughout the length
and breadth of our land.
Many females suffer in some way at each
monthly period; some girls are in great peril at
the commencement Of menstruation, while older
ones dread its decline at the ''turn OF ife" Some
times the menstrual flow is too much, or too lit
tie, or may be attended with pain; may be ir
regular or entirely checked, or changed in sp-
pearance, stten ded with other distressing symp-
toms Leucorrhea, or the Nv hitss," freq uently
drains the sy tenn, or liberation of the womb
may create pain aud cause rapid prostration.
Falling of the womb is exceedingly com
mon complaint, giving much trouble ana distress
which, under ordinary treatment, is difficult to
cure.
Mysteries, Green Sickness, Irritabiity of the
Womb, and other serioas and fatal complaints
follow the female ses throughout life. Lives
there a medical gentleman who has or can re-
lieve the fair sex of the above troubles? Not
many. IL there no combination of remedial
agents that will come to her rescue? We an
