several years past have been subject to Bilious
attacks, and always was firm believer that there
was no remedy for the complaint but mercury,

agreeably surprised TO end that they accomplish

or Calonel, without auy Of their bad effects.

DEATH or THE VENERABLE FATHER O'NEILL.
( Our readers Will, receive with .unfelgned sor-
row tie announcement Of the death of the
venerable and very reverend Father ]. F..
OMEN, which sad event took place In Ssvan-
nah, son,i Tuesday afternoon. The Savannah
oaSsul was So born il the County Of
KerrH1ratand, on the 18th or October, n 1870,
and Was consequently In the s0th year Of his
sage. aftsths. solicitation Of Bishop England,
he csifet % Charleston In the year 1924, where
: his labocs and talents were spent In the ser
s Vice 66 hisMaeter for nearly ten years of his
2 SministeIiaA life. During that time he was the
editor Or ths Catholic Miscellany, the organ OF
the dgpomtnalion, and Its editorial columns
; eyineed the, vigor Of his Intellect and the
strength Of his faith IN the Gteachlngs ana % a0e,
trineSj jof, big church. In 1888 Father O'Netil
came to Savannah. and assumed the past0rate
OF the church here, faithfully administering its
sacramenfs. and calculating It's precepts by q
deyoted iHe,a and blameless walk and cOnver-
AtioifrH6#as universally beloved not only by
those of hisown denomination, but by all who
could not bot: see In his, meekness, humility
and charity that ex implication Of Christianity
which is without sect or party names. In feel
ings heWas truly Southern; In his charity ne
was COSMOPOLITAN, loving the country Of his
adoption with ardor, and bis own. people and
country with q warmth OF attachment that
NEITHER age nor infrmity could overcome. His
great iinepta vigor sustained him through
many hArdshIps, and his firm faith supported
him fn,mSny trinls. Els last and fatal illness
lasted some TEN days. Rallying at times he
seemed combat disease successfully, but,
finally, the flesh sank, and his mortal put on
immortality, at, the ripe old age of four-score
years, having lived to enjoy the bless
ings iearned by his labors in the cause
.-of his. Master, and realizing with an endur-
ing &ith an that his God had promised to
those who have s,'Eought the good fight" and
.skeptthA faith The body has'been laid out
In the sacred yestments OF the deceased, and
embalmed, preparatory to Its transfer nom the
BishepS residence to the Cathedral OF st. John
the Baptist; where 1t will remain until borne
to its fffiat resting place In the Cathedral Gem
etary. jRlghs Rev. Bishop Lynch, of Charles
ton. profes,e OF, Father O'Neilrs, has been
telegrsphed for, and will leave for Savannah
this morning 70 preach the funeral sermon Of
the degssed. Bishop Quinlan, of Mobile, has
also SHsaelegraphed TOR. and Will probably
be in aHahdahce upon the burial services, as
would the distinguished fathers of the church
throughout me Southern States, but-fora atne

A Beautiful Sentiment,

DR. Chalmers beautifully says:
.sThe little that have seen of the
world and known of the history
of mankind, teaches me to look
upon their errors in sorrow, not
in. anger. When / take the his
tory Of one poor heart that has
sinned and suffered, and repre-
sent to myself the struggles and
temptasions it passed through
the brief pulsations of joy, the
tears of regret; the feebleness OF
purpose; thescorn of the world
that has little charity; the desc
lation ofthe souls sanctuary, and
threatening voices within, health
gone, happiness gone-would
fain leave the erring soul of my
fellowman with Him from whose
hand it came"

The Blossom and the Fruit.

You have seen the tiny blossom
of the fuit-tree opening in the
early spring. After basking a
few days in the sun it fades and
falls. A germ is left behind on
the branch, but it is scarcely dis
cernable among the leaves. 1t
Is a green speck that can hardly
be felt between your fingers. If
a hungry man should pluck and
eat it, the morsel would not sat
tsfy; and the germ as to present
use is a sapless, tasteless nothing.
Grasped now as your object and
end it is the most worthless ofall
things, but left and cherished as
the germ of fruit it is the most
precious.
This life is the bud of eternity;
if plucked and used as the portion
of the soul, that soul will be empty
now and empty forever. But
why thus abused it is worthless;
rightly used it is beyond all price.
Here is generated, cherished, II
pened, the life that will never
die.-Rey. William Arnot.

Count the Mercies,

Count the mercies which have
been quietly falling in your his.
tory. Down they come, every
morning and evening, as angel
messengers from the Father OF
Heaven. Have you lived these
years wasting mercies, renewing
them every day, and never yet
realized whence they came? II
you have, Heaven pity you. You
have murmured under affliction.
but who heard you rejoice over
blessing? Ask the sunbeam, the
raindrop, the star, or the quee n
ofthe night. What is life but
mercy? What is health, strength,
friendship, social life? Had each
the power of speech, each would
say, ~ am a mercy" Perhaps
you have never regarded them
as such. Ifnot you have been
apoor student of nature and rev.
elation. What the propriety of
stopping to play with thornbush
when you mightjust as well pluck
sweet flowers, and eat pleasant
fruits?'

How to make Peach Jelly.

Cut a dozen peaches in halves.
peel them and take out the stones.
Into a clear boiling syrup, made
of a pound ofwhite sugar, put the
peaches and kernels. Boil very
gently for ten minutes lay hall
the peaches on a plate, boil
the rest ten minutes longer.
Then mix with the liquor of the
peaches the strained juice OF
three lemons, and an ounce of is
inglass dissolved and strained.
Fill the mould half full OF
jelly; when that is set, put in
part of the peaches and a little
more jelly; and when that is set,
add the rest of the peaches. and
fill the mould with jelly. This
makes an elegant table Orna-
ment.

Farm and Household.
Management Of Orchards.

| do not believe in continually
piowing it; as trees so treated
soon die. There are millions OF
small roots that run close to the
surface and carry sustenance to
the tree from the best of the soil.
Cut these often, with the plow.
and you soblige the tree to draw
sustenance through the lower
roots from the barren subsoil.
Neither should orchards go to
grass and have it moved off every
year orfed by cattle. They should
be fenced as in old times. when
no complaint was made of barren
trees, and the grass that grows
up suffered to fall down and rot
on the surface, forming mulch
and keeping the surface of the
ground loose and rich.-E d. C..

persons, indulge the thoughts,
that lead away from the tempta-
ton. Keep busy; idleness is the
strength of bad habits. Do not
give up the struggle when you
have broken yourresolution once,
twice, ten times, or thousand
times. That only shows how
much need there is for you to
strive. when you have broken
your resolution, just think the
matter over, and endeavor TO I'M
derstand why it was you failed,
so that you may be upon your
guard against recurrence of the
same circumstances. Do not
think it a little or an easy thing
that you have undertaken: 1t is
folly to expect to break off bad
habit in a day, which may have
been gathering strength in you
for years.
