WHAT MAN KNows.-What q man can
write out clearly, correctly and briefly,
without book or reference of any kind, that
he undoubtedly knows, whatever else lie
might be ignorant of. For knowledge that
falls short of that-knowledget that is vague,
hazy, indistinct, uncertain-I, for one, pro-
fess no respect at all. And believe there
never was time nor a country where the
influences of careful training were in that
respect more needed. Men live in haste,
write in haste-1 was going to say think in
haste, only that perhaps the word thinking
is hardly applicable to that large number,
who, for the most part, purchase their daily
allowance of thought ready made.-Lord
Stanley.

Venerable Brethren, Greeting and Apostolic Bened,
tion
Several times, venerable brethren, dur
ing Our Pontifcate, We have turned to-
ward you to say to you with what gratitude
We received the proofs of that devotion
and that affection for Us and for this Apos-
tolic See which the God of mercy hasl put
in your hearts, as well as in the hearts of
the faithful confined to your care.
In fact, when the enemies of God COM
menced to invade His civil power, in order
finally, to prevail, if that were possible,
against Jesus Christ and His Church, quo
est corpus ipsius ct plenitudo ejus, which is
His very body and plenitude, you, venera-
BILE brethren, and the Christian people
have never ceased to beseech God, to
Whom the winds and the seas are obedient
to vouchsafe to nppease the tempest. You
have never ceased to lavish upon Us test-
monials of love, and render Us those SER
vices which would console Us in Our tribu-
lation.
When, finally, We were despoiled of this
city, the head of the Catholic universe, and
delivered over to the good pleasure of those
who Cypress Us, you, with the greater part
of the faithful of your dioceses, have re-
doubled your prayers, and have assiduous-
ly denounce to the world the violators of
Our holy religion and the laws of Justice
laws trampled under foot with an incredi-
BILE audacity.
Now that, Oy an eNenI new SINCE oV.
Peter, and entirely unheard of in the series
of Roman Pontifs, We have attained the
twenty year of Our Apostolic minis
try in the Roman Chair, you have given
such striking evidences of your joy on &C
count of the blessing granted to Our weak
ness, and have made so clearly evident the
condition of healthfal lie enjoyed by the
great Christian family, that We have been
profoundly moved, and, joining cur pray
ers with yours, have gathered therefrom
renewed strength to await, with still more
confidence, the entire and absolute triumph
of the Church.
The most agreeable thing that has reach
ed Us has been to know that everywhere
veritable leqions of suppliants have enter
ed Our holy temples, and that in this en-.
tire mi verse the concourse of the faithful
has not ceased to grow larger, thanking
God, in unison with their pastors, by pub
tic prayers and frequentiDg the sacramento

VALUE OF TREEs.--Although oak timber
in England is not of the value that it was
previous to the invention of iron shipbuild-
ing, it continues Ito fetch a considerable
price. Lately few of the magnificent oak
trees in Burghley Park, having shown
symptoms of decay. were cut down and
sold by auction. The size of the trees and
the value of the timber may be inferred
from the prices realized. One tree brought
whole, thirty in number, rea,ized 9900.

LETTER FROM HouMA.
REoPENING OF THE HouMA ACADEMY
ERECTION OF CHAPEL-THE SUGAR
CROPS.

Editors Morning Star and Catholic Messenger
The Houma Academy IL beautifully and
agreeably situated within the limits of the
corporation boundary. The academy ia a
brick building. two stories high, Of quad
rapgular dimensions. to which 10 attached
an extensive play ground, intersected with
stately oaks and odoriferous flowers.
This institution was first known as the
g Houma Male and Female Academy"
under the management of Messrs. Bagfy &
Bros, who were it's late occupants, until it's
having been purchased by the Sisters of
the Sacred Heart" For many years past,
the inhabitants Of Terrebonne had greatly
desired to have some able professors of
sound educational and religious principles,
and of long experience in the d. veIopnent
of the faculties of the juvenal minds.
Proposals with lenient terms had been
through Rev. Father Gondelas, pastor OF
st. Francis de Sales Church, to the Jesuit
Society, in order to obtain several Of its
members as professors in the II ouma
Academy. However, negative answer
was received, which served to quiet the
promoters of academic education. Not
withdrawing, they again applied to the
Sisters of the Sacred Heart" with hap
pier results. Accordingly the Sisters
opened their school last year; closed it on
the night of the 25th ult., and reopened it
on the Sd inst, after agreeabiy spending
the one month vacation in New Orleans.
We would call the attention of parents
residing in the city, to this well-regulated
establishment, situated in one of the most
salubrious districts of Louisiana, as we'll as
being closely connected with the Crescent
City, by Morgan's Railroad. We hope,
therefore, that the Houma Academy will be
the alna-nate of many young ladies from
pride aud staff of their aged parents.
1t is with pleasure that we learn that a
beautiful chapel is being built on Bayou
Dn Sarge. The people of that bayou are
highly gratified at this, as they will be able
to assist at the Holy Sacrifice of Mass with
| more punctuality.
The sugar crops are very promising this
year, and it is to be hoped they will yield
abundantly. Some of the planters intend to
begin rolling on t! Goth inst. CD.

GARRIcK.-David Garrick sat many times
to Sir Joshua Reynolds for different por-
traits. At one of these sittings, he gave
very lively account of his having sat once
for his portrait to an indifferent painter,
whom he wantonly leased: for when the
artist had worked on the face till he had
drawn it very correctly, as he saw it at the
time, Garrick caught an opportunity, while
the painter was not looking at him, totally
to change his countenance and expression;
when the poor painter worked on to alter
the picture, and make it like what he then
saw; and when Garrick perceived that it
was thus altered, he seized another oppor-
tunity, and changed his countenance to q
third character; which, when the poor tan
threw down bis palette and pencils, saying
he believed he was painting from the Old
Man, and would do no more to the picture.

Remedy for Hard Times.

Speaking of the depression of business
of all kinds, and the complaints thereof
which proceed from all quarters, the
Providence Star believes there is a rem-
edy for the sluggish state of things which
almost everybody has "a chance, in greater
or less degree, to apply. " 1t costs too
much, it says, e" to do business" Every
thing IS on too expensive a scale. We are
on the froth of shoddy, instead of on the
hard pan of real life During the war
every thing became fictitious, prices aug
mented rapidly, and money was coined so
freely by every body that no oae cared
what he might have to pay. As time has
rolled on business has faleu into narrower
channels, and there is none of this piling
up of money and profits we have alluded
to. But people will not recognize this
Tact, but hold on to the high prices None

Redeeming the 6 per cent. State Loan

The State Treasurer gives notice that,
until further directed, he will purchase
for redemption the $40 series of the
per cent loan of the Commonwealth, on
presentation at the Farmers & Mechanics
Bank in Philadelphia, at a premium of 3
per cent. and accrued interest This
series of the loan is redeemabe on the lst
of February next, and its payment is
anticipated in order to relieve the Treasury
of its presesnt unproductive surplus
The amount of this loan is FIVE millions of
dollars, and is nearly all held in this
country. BY the last exhibit made of the
condition of the Treasury, the unappro
priated balance was somewhere between
one and half and two millions of dollars
This amount will probably be doubled by
the receipts of 1871 so that it is fair to
calculate that the Treasury will be in
condition to pay off two thirds of the en-
tire loan by the time it natures Hold
ers will therefore see the advantage Of
surrcndering their bonds now, while they
may obtain a premium Of 3 per cent, as
alter the period of maturity, which is near
at hand, they will be paid at par. The
State would like to pay its per cent. war
loan, but just at present this cannot be
done without paying in coin. that loan
having been created before the passage of
the legal tender law, February, 1862.

AGAINST THE STREAM.
In the world I've gained my knowled

In the world I've gained my knowledge
And for it I've had to pay,
Though | never went to college,
Yet I've heard the poets say
Life is like a mighty river,
Rolling on from day to day,
Men are vessels launched upon it,
Sometimes wrecked and cast away.
CHo.-So, then, do your best for one another,
Making life pleasant dream,
Help worn and weary brother
Pulling hard against the stream.
Many bright, good-hearted fellow,
Many undetermined man,
Finds himself in water shallow;
Then, assist him, if you can.
Some succeed at every turning,
Fortune favors every scheme,
Others, too, though more deserving,
Have to pull against the stream.
If the wind is in your favor
And you've weathered every squall,
Think of those who luckless labor,
Never get fair winds at all
Working hard, contented, willing,
Struggling through ife's ocean wide
Not friend, and not shilling,
Pulling hard agains the tide.
Don't give way to foolish sorrow
Let this keep you in good cheer;
Brighter days may come tomorrow,
fyOu try and persevere,
Darkest nights will have morning,
Though the sky be overcast;
Longest lanes must have turning,
And the tide will turn at last
