Make q Begianing.-How many a poor,
erring, idle outcast is now creeping, crawling
have held up his head and prospered, If,
instead OF putting off his reeolutions OF
appointment and industry, he had made a
beginning. A beginning, and q good be,
ginning, too, is necessary. The first weed
pulled up in the garden, the first time a
manly 81 will " is said the first seed put
in the ground, the first savings put in the
bank, and the first mile travelled in jour
ney, are all very important things. They
make beginning, and thereby nope,
promise, an assurance is held out That you
are in earnest in what you have under
taken.

Our New Story.

So great was the satisfaction given to our
readers by an original story, which we
recently Published, that We have been en-
couraged to make exertions to Furnish them
with another and similar source OF gratln-
cation. We have been fortunate enough TO
secure the complete copy Of an original
romance, written by an accomplished au-
thoress of our community, and purpose to
commence it's publication in the number OF
the MORNING STAR to be issued on the 18th
of September prox.
This work 10 entitled ELLEN FITZGERALD.
Its authoress is Mrs. Susan b. Eider, the
estimabl. wife of our respected fellow
citizen, Chas. D. Elder. Better known 10
fame under the nops-d plume OF Hermine'
the, fact of her authorship is enough to
stamp the work with excellence of high
order, and to bespeak for it very cordlal
reception from reading public.
The story in itself combines many eie-
ments of especial interest; it 10 purely and
earnestly Catholic, possesses the charm OF
local interest, presenting, as it does, some
of the most stirring scenes of the Confed-
crate war, and will thrill the hearts OF
Irish readers, as we'll as of all others, ny
it's portrayal of some charming Irish char
acters.

"THE H1BEKNIA."-An adjourned meeting of
the stockholders of the contemplated Irish

a charter, submitted the result of their labors,
which received the approval of those present.

ment has received from the start, will but
continue, the first number of The Hibernis

SPLENDID CHANCE TO GET HoME.-The
attention of our readers is called to the fact
that . fine one-story cottage, containing eight

of those little ones," whom it is our duty, as
Catholics, to provide for.

ST.. MARY's COLLEGE, CORNER OF CONSTANCE
AND PoxYPARRE,-Within the limits of the
Crescent City there ia NO Institution for the
education of youth, that can claim greater ad-
vantage for the moral and intellectual devel-
opment of youth than st. Mary's College. In
corporated in the year 1883 and empowered to
grant diplomas, confer degrees and bestow all
literary honors, this institution, from the
number of it's alumni, who now ill positions
of trust and profit in our community, should
certainly commend itself to the citizens Of
New Orleans. The session of 1s71-72 began
on the 4th inst, and we are gratifed to learn
that the attendance at the opening was unusu-
ally large. During the summer vacation the
buildings have undergone thorough repair,
living them at present, neat and elegant
appearance.
Brother Thuran, some years ago the direc-
tor of the College, but who was forced, on ac-
count of o protracted illness to resign the posi-
ton and seek the recovery of his health by
change of climate, has returned much inn
proved, and has resumed the responsible posi-
ton which he had vacated. During his all
sencs he gave his attention to the study of the
MANAGEMENT of the most successful schools
and colleges in the North and West and profit
ing by his investigations, he has determined
to place st. Mary's College ON 8 par with the
best institutions in the country.
He has already adopted the system of two
departments, the Collegiate and the CONNER
cial, each entirely independent of the other
a plan which will undoubtedly work advan-
tageously to the pupils. Heretofore the schol-
ars have been class ed together, that is to say
those of the Collegiate and those of the Com
mercial departments were classed according to
their proficiency in English and Mathematics,
but were separated ut certain hours of the
div. some to attend the bookkeeping class,
Others to attend instruction in the classics
| this resulted in loss of time and distraction
in the mind of the pupil. The plan now
adopted is to form classes Of those who are
to receive a Collegiate education and classes
for those who desire to graduate in the Com
mercial department
This is q very important change, and will,
unquestionably, give great satisfaction to
parents who desi re to place their children in q
fret class school, and particularly to those
who intend to make business men of their
sons.

are treated as base fabrications and con-
temptible ISLANDERS by all Catholic authori-
ties. IL it candid, then, to allude to them

It speaks of the magnificent donations
made to the Church by the faithful
through SO many ages, in the most con-
temptuous language, as being obtained by
Operating on the consciences of the sick
and dying" Is there any charity in at
tributiDg such noble actions to such pitiful
causes Is there any candor in thus sneer-
ing at the vast and spontaneous Christian
munifcence of the ages offaith, q phenome-
non SO well known, SO thoroughly recog-
nized by every honest Protestant historian Z
The fact is our neighbor cannot see any
good or justifiable source for the wealth
cOnfided to the custody of the Church in
those days. It naturally asks itself why do
not the Lutberans and Calvinists of this
age act in the same spirit and manifest the
same works If they are good worksf But it
must remember that the circumstances are
very different. Certain churches do now
give their parsons immense salaries and not
. dollar Of it 10 ever heard Of again. All
is sunk in the abyss of the pastoress'
pocket. If every preacher in the length
and breath of Professionalism should get
fifty thousand dollars year for fifty years
to come, there would not be one cent of it
visible in the shape of ecclesiastical property
at the expiration of that time. Many men
are willing to give to God who have no
such impulse towards the parsons family,
and they consider AZ given to God what
ever remains as Church property, actively
employed in the cause of charity or wor-
ship. ffn,
The Presbyterian, of course, could not
close without an allusion to the relation
of the sexes. 1t refsrs in most jovial
way to the "farmeresses" or nuns, and
could not, of course, omit the opportunity
for an obscene allusion. Its humOr is stiff
enough and it's wit more Puritanical than
pure. Maria Monk will work to the surface
and prurient imaginations will pass over
all the virtue and charity Of the saints to
find flaw in the career Of poor weak
humanity. 1t is not very candid, though,
in disc ussing the claims of the Church, to do
so, or to attempt to mislead ones fellow
men in judging of the wheat by exhibiting
a handful of the tares.
