The New York. TTbune says there
is tough time coming for poor Brig
ham Young, for the Lion Of Utah is TO
be bearded in his den. The Rev.
Messrs. Mcdonald Of Boston, Boole Of
New York, and Inskip Of Baltimore,
start next month for missionary tour
across the plains, taking with them q
big tent capable Of holding 1000 per-
sons. After attending to the regen-
GRAFTON of California, the reverend
gentlemen will move homeward via
Salt Lake, where they will set up their
huge tabernacle. and hold an old
fashioned camp-meeting directly un-
der Brighams patriarchial nose. 1t
is said that a great many Mormons
were formerly Methodists and are
for the old fold. Our own
opinion is, that with free preaching
in Utah the Mormon system Of concu-
binagc, at least, hasn't twenty years
life in it..

EDITOR "CLARIoN DEAR SIR
In these trying times, what a pleasure
it would be if each person would car
ry out the true principles of Friend
ship, Love and Truth" Friendship,
true friendship, is flower that blooms
in all seasons; everywhere cheering
rs by It's exquisite and indescribable
charms. No surveyed chart; no ma
tional boundary line, no rugged noun
tain or steep declining vale, put q
limit to its growth. Wherever it is
watered with the dews of kindness
and affection, there you may be sure
to find it. Allied in close companion
ship with its twin-sister charity, it
enters the sbode Of sorrow and wretch
edness, and causes happiness and
peace; it knocks at the lonely and dis
consulate heart, and speaks words of
encouragement and joy. Its eternal
end universal fragrance dispels every
poisoned thought Of envy, and puri6es
the mind with a holy and priceless
contentment, which all the pomp and
power of earth could not bestow. In
vain do We look for it in the actions
Of the proud and aristocratic votaries
Of fashion; the love of self-display
and Of the false and heeting pleasures
of the world has banished it forever
from their hearts. In vain do We look
for it in those who envy their fellow
men; who with loud laugh and ex-
tended hands proclaim obedience to
its laws, while at the same time the
cancer Of malice and envy is enthroned
in their hearts and active on their
tongues. True friendship can only be
found to bloom in the soil of noble
and self-sacrilicing heart there it has
a parental summer; never ending
season of felicity and joy to its happy
possessor, casting thousand rays of
love and peace to all around.
The CLARION is highly appreciated
in Carro,lton. Yours respectfully,
ENTERPRISE.

BAD BARGAINs.-Once a Sabbath
school teacher remarked that he who
buys the truth makes a good bargain
and inquired if any scholar recollected
an instance in Scripture OF a bad bar
gain.
Il do, replied Il boy. "Esau made
a bad bargain when he sold his birth
rigat for a mess of pottage.'
A second said, Judas made a bad
bargain when he sold his Lord for
thirty pieces of silver.
A third boy observed, "Our Lord
tells us that he makes bad bargain,
who, to gain the whole world, loses
his own soul.
| have seen a good many boys in
my time who have made bad bargains
Some change the Sunday School for
the street; and home for wicked COM
pany; and the Bible for bad books;
and health for tobacco. They always
get the worst of it, Boys, look out
for tAc~e lad bargains. lo"y Reaper.

The Press AND THE PvLrIT.-A
correspondent of the Boston Eren1ng
Jonnul, writing from New York, says:
"Of all men the Evangelical minis
try have the least cause to complain
Of the secular press. 1t circulateS
more religious news than the combined
Tract Societies Of the world. For
mcrlv the Church had to wait for the
May meetings or the great anniyer-
saries to know what had been going
on. Now everything is published
from day to day. Religious news
comes not only from different portions
of this country, but from all the world
with war news, news political, hnan-
cial and social. All religious meet
ingA, convocations and popular ser
mons are reported for the secular
press, with an enterprise and an ac-
curacv that is marvellous.

TIE ROMAN CATHOLICS AND THE
CoLoRED PEopLE.-Thc Cutho(ic Mr.
yoy, of last week, published the follow
ing circular from Archbishop Spald-
ing:
We hereby certify and make known
to all whom it may concern, and es-
pocially, for the present, to all the
Reverend Clergy of Prince Georges,
Charles and ST. Marys counties, that
we have, mot" proprlo, appointed the
Rev. Francis L. Boyle as Travelling
Missionary in our Archdiocese, for the
benefit Of the colored people, to give
special lectures and instructions for
them, in aid of the local pastors, to
whom we hereby warmly recommend
his mission, asking their special aid
and cooperation for the same, and
nothing doubling that, with the Di-
vine assistance, it will result in great
spiritual benefit to the colored breth-
ren. MARTIN j. SpALDING,
Archbishop Of Baltimore.

ess- For President, Vice President,
Governor and State officers, Congress-
men, Senators and members Of the
House Of Delegates, political conside-
rations should influence the choice OF
the people. For mere county minis
terial officers, clerks, sheritfs, etc, and
for municipal officers, partisan politics
should not be introduced as q test
and they never were introduced in
this county from l776 until 1910, OF
about there. But says n political
philosopher at our elbow, if one party
viii make the test, dya,c the l,ne o,
lcmarcatiou, the other party to get
even, must do likewise. 1t is very
true that is the way things are man
aged now w-a-days; but the practice is
all wrong; and two wrongs don't
make one right.

The Pillaged Churches.

Advlces from Parls say thaC tne
Churches of the Madeleine and AS
sumption have been pillaged by the
mob. The former of these stands at
the western end of the Boulevards,
and was commenced in l764 by Con-
stant dIvry and continued by Con-
ture. The revolution Of 1889 put a
stop to the work, but Napoleon l.,
having determined to transform the
building into Te enple Of Gkry, or
dered Vignon to complete it. At the
restoration of the Bourbons, Louis
XVIII. changed the Madeleine again
into . church, and decreed that 1t
should contain monuments to the
memory of Louis XVI. and XVII,
Marie !Antoinettc and Madame Eliza
beth. 1t wss finally finished during
the reign of Louis Philippe, under the
direction Of N. Huve. The total cost
is estimated at Is, ,07s, 900 francs. The
Madeleine stands on an elevated plat
form, 32S set by 1888, and is ap-
preached at each end by a flight of
rs steps, extending along the length
of the facade. In form and proper
tions it Is Grecisn; q cslonads of 81
CorintLisn columns, each - feet high
bv l64 in sircumfsrenss, surrounds 1t
-l5 on ssch side, ID in the southern
portico and s in the aorthsru. Nishes
in the walls contain statues of saints,
and the whole entablature and ceiling
of the colonnade are covered With =
profusion of elaborate sculpture. The
pediment Of the southern front con-
tains an immense alto relieve by Lc-
maire 1926 feet in length by n in
height to the angle. The northern
portico is plain. The bronze doors,
designed by Triquetti, are magnificent
in conception and execution; they
measure SO feet by le}, and display
in bars relief illustrations of the len
Commandments. The church itself
consists Of vast nave, literally inter
rupted by four piers on each side,
frontcd with lofty nuted Corinthlan
columns supporting colossal arches on
which rests three cupolas with sky
lights and compartments gorgeously
gilt, the corners being supported by
figures of the apostles in alto relieve.
The walls are incrusled with the
richest marbles, the ceilings Of nave
and choir are superbly frescoed, and
paintings and statuary lend their at
fractions and add to the splendors of
La Madeleine.
The Church of the Assumption is
located on the Rue st. Honore, and
formerly belonged 10 convent of
nuns called Les Danes de F-dsSomp-
ton. 1t was begun in 1870, after de-
signs by Errard, and finished in 1876.
In 1902 it became the parish church
of the first ACCOMPLISHMENT, to supply
the place of another which was de-
molished in 1889. The'cdllice is cir
cular, surmounted by dome G2 feet
in diameter, with lantern supported
bv reversed consoles and bearing a
gilt cross. The portico is Corinthian.
The dome is painted in fresco by La
fosse, and ornamented with roses in
octagonal compartments. 1t contains
two pictures, the birth Of the Virgin,
by Sauvoe, and q st, Jerome. The
Church of the Assumption is a chapel
of ease to the Madeleine.

" In Heaven 'Tis Always May"

Flight of the Birds:
hear the birds, who in this cline
OF endless Spring arc dwelling,
Their happy thoughts, in artiess rhyme
To one another telling;
Though sweet each silvcy-notcd voice
| breathe a sigh as they rejoice.
When on the blossom laden trees
4 moment they are swaying,
Or with the bslmy southern breeze
Among the roses playing,
Or resting in the em'ra.l shade
The ccdars cast across the glade -
Ever their joyous songs peal forth,
With brigh; and gladstone prcsagc;
Yet would send them to the North,
TO bear u soothing message,
And, TO the hearts that mDIrn there, say
in Heaven above It's always May
For know, dear birds, the poe, friend
Who loved you and your singing,
Who longrd for winters reign to end,
That May might hasten, bringing
The ieathcrcd lruuntS in her train
70 charm away long hours OF pain;--
Know We, that while YOU lngcr here,
Mid scenes Of summer gjadncss,
That friend has sought a brighter sphere
Aiar from care and sadness.
The May She longrd Oh earth to see,
Her soul has found ctcInnilv
Ave, loving hands have laid her down
Beneath the snow to slnmhcr;
But far above. Il starry crown,
And Joys no tongue can number,
Ofccascl"ss song, and tadelrs, flowers,
Are hers within the angel bowers.
Yet 60, ye birds; although no more
She hears your chorus tender;
Seek " the hearts with sorrow sore,
And comfort strive to render,

In Heaven above It's always May

BEuIsD TIE VEIL.--It is not
always the practice Of pretty ladies to
wear a veil. Not even coquetry will
dispense with the pleasure Of showing
a lovely countenance and the most
modest and retiring beauty likes to be
admired for the regularity and deli
cacv Of her features.
These reflections passed rapidly
through the mind Of a well-known
New Orleans magistrate riding up
town recently. BY his side sat a lady,
who from a single glance of her coun-
tenance he imagined that he knew
At least he ventured the remark that
the day was pleasant.
"Yes, murmured the female.
"Why do you wear a vell?' in
quired the dispenser of justice.
Lest attract attention.
ut is the province Of gentlemen to
admire, replied the gallant man of law.
"Not when they are married.
"But IN not.
Indeed -
con, no; I'm bachclor.'
The lady quietly removed her veil.
disclosing to the astonished magistrate
the face Of his motherinlaw. He
had business elsewhere suddenly.
