LADIES OF CHARITY.

The Solemn Profession OF Four Novices
at tho Convent of The Good Shepherd.
The usual secluson Of the cloistered religious
of the Ladies OF Charity Of The GOOD Shephcrd'
was yesterday invaded by the few guests whom
special permission allowed to enter the chapel to
witness the profession of Sister Mary OF the I'M
maculate Heart miss O'NeD, Sister Mary Placide
Miss Kervin), Sister Mary of the Seven
Dolors Miss McGonigle), Sister Mary OF the
Nativity miss Doyle). The little chapel was
bathed in the soft light OF early morning,
the fragrance OF freshly culled flowers filed the air
and the pensive strains of the "Ave Maria Stellar
fell with soothing softness on the ear as the long
rank OF Whitehead devOteeS wended its way into
the choir and the PriOress ana her assistant led TO
the altar the four virgins who solicited no other
higher place than the lowcst in the house OF God"
Receiving blessed candles the novices seated them
selves facing the altar while Rev. Father Durthacr
addressed them on the course they had
adopted, and In deeply solemn manner eXhorted
vnced himself as well as all present that the can
ddates were well qualified for and well advised OF
the importance OF the lasting obligations they
render them full members OF the congregation
whose sole high mission 1t is to reclaim the
path OF honor and virtue and having learned
that the Prioress and community 'ully asscnted
to the admission Of the four novices, the oflicant
previously written, with her own hand, on paper,
leaving on'y space for her name and the date,
places by each novice as soon as she had finished
reading the vow and in the presence of the congre
cation.
The oflcant then blessed the veil and silver
heart, giving the heart to be worn as an emblem
OF the virtues OF the pure heart OF the Virgin whom
the religious should strive to emulate; the veil was
then given the novice to put before her eyes that
she might no longer see world she had renounced
forever; and as the PriOress arranged the veil she
also crowned the newly profcssed with wreath OF
snowy blossoms; the newly prOfessed then rising
mp sang This is the place Of my rest; here shall
dwell, for have chosen it, The Ofciant then told
her she was dead to the world ard to herself, and
could live but in God, in solitude as in tomb and
the choir responding, BLESSED are the dead who
die in the Lord,' the newly professed Frustrated
upon the floor, while the other religious held
black pall over her and the choir chanted
a psalm for the dead. After the pail
was withdrawn the Offciant sprinkled
the PROSTATE with holy water saying, "Rse, my
sisters" Her candle was then given her, she sing
ing 1.-THE Lord is my salvation: Whom shall
fearfn After repeating the closing prayers the
oficiant intoned the re Demns and then the reg-
ious took up and continued the soul-inspirng notes
while the newly prOfessed conveyed the kiss OF
peace from the Prioress to her companions, and
then the procession departed from the chapel, its
quiet infnence sti lingering over the crowned

DOG FIGHT ARBITRATED BY A COW

Portland has a treasure In the shape
Of q COW whose milk OF human kind
ness Is so full Of the cream Of philan-
thropy that she exerts herself In the
cause Of morality and public docency
to an extent that might put many hu-
man beings to the blush. 1t would
seem that two dogs, having evidently
read the kind permission given them BY
DIR. Watts Of hymn-writing memory,
to delight to bark and bite, took ad-
vantage Of 1t to quarrel over a bone In
the principal street OF Portland. They
attracted the attention ofour cow, who
was quietly eating some turnip tops in
q field into which she had penetrated
without obtaining the owners con-
sent. Pausing for q moment to chow
the cud Of reflection, she lowered her
head, charged upon the dogs and sep
arated them, and by making threat
enlng display Of her horns, caused
them to scatter at tile double quick In
opposite directions. This Il the queen
OF cows, and should at onco be bought
by tho Society for the Prevention Of
Cruelty to Animals, Is . notable
example Of the justice Of their princl-
Piles and support given to their theories
By the animals themselves. Why
should Il not be we'll to ~perpetuate this
breed Of cows for the sake OF their
milk! Who knows what mild and hu-
mane sentiments such drink, freely
partaken Of would cause to dominate
In the heart Of man?
