whose promotion to the pastorshlp OF st.

was about to take place, and their prayers
and wishes tor his health and happiness.

Imelda A lady correspondent, who sends
this information, adds: "To-day nature
seems more lavely; earth and air rejoice IN
the glories of Mary immaculate, and, as
witness this most beautiful and solemn
ceremony in tho lovely convent chapel, all
the feelings of my soul swell up into an
lecstacy of delight, and, like Colerldge, l
can exclaim, Il am filled with devotion and
with awe; am lost to the actuailtles that
, surround me. and my whole being expands
into the infinite; earth, air, nature and art,
ali swell into eternity, and the only sensi-
BILE impression left me Is, that am d oth
ino.' Cold indeed must be the heart and
unimpassioned the soul that such grand
and glorious sacrifice does not affect"
