From the Altar to the Grave.
From the Philadelphia Post, Dec. %.


On last Wednesday, Mr.. John Henry
Boraef, residing with his uncle at No.
GIT North Thirteenth street, was taken
with the smallpox. He called upon
his physician, who advised him to re-
tire to his room, as he had severe at
tack of the disease mentioned above.
Mr.. Boraef, who was about 80 years OF
age, had for some time been engaged to
an estimable young lady named Mary
A. Ewing. On Thursday Mr.. Boraef
found himself much worse, and became
alarmed. The disease. instead of at
tacking him outwardly, settled inward
ly, which is always dangerous, and gen
orally results fatally.
On Friday his condition was critical,
and the physician said there was no
hope. The dying man then expressed
desire to be married to the young lady
to whom he was engaged. 1t was found
impossible to secure a clergyman to
perform the marriage ceremony, owing
to the disease of which he was dying,
and Alderman Hagey was called In.
Articles of agreement were drawn up
and signed by Mr.. Boraef in his cham
Der. The young lady also signed them
and the Alderman put his official seal
upon the document and declared the
parties man and wife. On Saturday
the young man died, and the next day
was buried. The remains were inferred
in North Laurel Hill Cemetery.
And now comes the sad sequel TO the
above:
"BoRAEF-Suddenly on the 10th
inst, Mary A. Boraef, wife of the late
John Henry Boraef, daughter of Lucy
A. and the late Samuel Ewing"
The cause of 6eath-it seems almost
unnecessary to state twas smallpox.

Maud NOLAN. Novel. By Annie Thomas
author Of ION Guard, ""Theo. Leigh" &c, &c.
Why an authoress 30 brilliant and animated as
this well-known writer should condemn herself
to write novels with such exceedingly unpleas-
ant plots as she does, is mystery that must re-
main between herself and her own artistic con-
science. Maud NOLAN, while equal in style to
the best Of Miss Thomas works, is in atroCity Of
plot no better than the worst. The heroine
that throws over the man she loves, and marries
him she dstests, in the most absurdly wrong
headed manner-the vacilating hero who makes
love to two nice girls at once - who vexed US in
TAeo. Lsigh, lead US . chase through another
hundred or 80 Of double columned pages here,
and secure happy destiny, finally, through the
early death of unsuitable life-partners, clearing
decks for new weddings, and true coniugal hap
piness That the book has good points enough
to make it lively and readablein spite Of all this,
only increases the justihAble indignation Of the
reader.
Meanwhile, from one Of the feminine digres-
sions and dissertations upon millinery and ups
holstery which gem its pages, we Gull one bit Of

The Lynchburg Cva) News states that the
drought in that section is becoming really alarm
ing, and the crops are suffering greatly. The
Indications now are that the grass crop will be .
total failure, and the wheat will be cut short
fully one-half. The stalks Of the wheat are al
ready more than half burned up, and no quanti-
ty Of rain will now revive them sufficiently to pro-
duce anything like a full yield. The tobacco
plants also have been seriously damaged and

Catholic Missionaries to the
COl0red People.
From the st. Louis Dem0crat.1

New YonK, March 25.-A sermon
was delivered in st. Stephens (Ro-
man Catholic) Church, yesterday, by
Rev. DIR. Herbert Vaughan, who
has received from the Pope the mis-
sion of converting the negroes of the
Southern States the Catholicism.
Vaughan is the superior of the st.
Joseph's Apostolic Society, and ar
rived in this country last December
with q number of Catholic mission
aries for the colored people. They
have come to this country bound by
vows to devote themselves entirely
to the colored race.
He took at his text the words,
"As the father sent, I also send you. F"
He proceeded to show that there is
something especially divine in the
charity which seeks out distant races
and lands in order to evangelize
them. This has been the charity
which has animated the Catholic
Church from the beginning. 1t is
the charity which the Son OF God
brought down from heaven when He
came into this lower world. He
nracticed it from the cradle, and
taught it from the summit Of Mount
O,;vet before he assembled into heav-
en-. A continuation of this charity
which promps us to devote ourselves
! or our substance to teaching and

This is all True.

The Golden 4dge, says "The real
culprit is not this man or that man
whom we have caught in some overt
act of crime, hut the state Of society
which creates criminals and sends
them into the world fully armed and
equipped to commit depredations
upon private rights and the public
order. Undoubtedly the individual
wrong-doer shares in the guilt. He
is more or less party to hir own
degradation. He should be held
more or less responsible for his deeds;
and on his head should fall the Ak
his own hand has sharpened, or the
blow his own misconduct has struck.
But he is not the only criminal.
Back of every miserable offender we
send to the penitentiary or swing
from the gallows into eternity, stands
the real culprit in social condition
that is false, immoral, and corrupt.
And instead of relieving our con-
science by joining in the popular
chorus of condemnation OF a single
CONSPICUOUS offender, we should aim
at the reformation Of the real cul-
prit. Make American society what
it ought to be !; furnish it with good
homes, ;uho'eDme schools, innocent and
edyying amusements, q religion that
is reasonable md which teaches the
obligation and ,corth gfo good life IN
this ,corld give it true idea of sue
cess and manliness !; fill it with influ-
ences that are moral and elevating
bring the sunshine of a great faith
to bear directly upon the hearts and
and minds of all its members, oblit-
Grating the foolish, artificial distinc-
tons of wealth and class, and max
ing all alike citizens Of God Almigh-
tvs commonwealth of souls, and we
shall have no Williams to suffer from
and no criminals to punish.
