The Funeral Of archbishop Spaulding

more. The church was packed with
bishops and priests.
An immense funeral procession was
formed, beaded by the Papal Zouaves,
and three young men carrying a large
crucitiX and immense wax candles. The
priests and students followed, dressed
in sacredotal and other robes.
Next came the bishops in mitred array,
and after them the pallbearers. The pro
oesslon passed down the marble steps OF
the archipiscopal residence in this order
and out inJo the street, Muffle drums
were beaten, bells were tolled, and the
priests chanted the miserere.
On entering the cathedral a dirge
moaned from a great orchestra.
As soon as the coffin was placed on the
catafalque numerous candles were light
ed on each side, and the service began
with chanting, which continued over an
hour and half, during which there
were four absolutions.
The Most Rev. Archbishop McCloskey,
Of New York was in the sanctuary. The
bishops moved around the coffin, then
the cclebrants and assistants took tleir
positions, and the requiem mass was
celebrated by Bishop WheIan, of Wheel,
ing.
Archbishop McClosky preached the
funeral sermon. The coffin was then
taken in solemn procession, amid mourn
full music, to the basement of the crypt
under the main altar, where it was de-
posted, the Miserere being chanted
meanwhile.

worry, worry, worry!

And news to travel took its time, suspense waf
bore with resignation
What was to be, we used to say, would be- and
couldn't be prevented,
Which twas consolin' for to think and made
one happy and contcnted
Whit would be we should live to see, if We
lived long enough, twas certain,
And p'raps it might be a mercy the future was
behind the curtain.
Misforunes came, as come they must in thif
here vale Of trile and sorrow.
But then, if bad news come to-day, no news was
like to como tomorrow.
No news was good news people said and hoped
meanwhile they might be better.
Leastways until the next days post brought
em paper or letter.
IT'S true, relief as soon may come, sometimes,
by artificial hghtnin'
When days and weeks of dark and storm you've
undergone aforc the brigh'nin';

croalers found themselves mistaken
But by them plaguy kilograms how my poor
old narves have bin shaken!

The Mitchell County Press, hits the
nail on the head in the following, which
we clip from its columns:
The farmer who owns his land, is free
from debt, and has tolerable improve
ments cannot comprehend the full mean
ing of the term "hard times. Hence,
farming is the best and surest vocation
for the mass of the people ; as n general
result it does not lead to wealth and
luxury, but it may certainly insure COM
petence and even abundance. To the
iaded, unfortunate, unsuccessful business
man, there is no prospect that looks so
enticing as that of beautiful farm, well
improved, fully stocked, and carefully
titled. 1t is haven Of rest, where the
corroding care and life-sapping anxiety
of city business are unknown; domain
over which h is king and where he
may enforce his own will undisputed by
anyone. The true pleasure of the far
mer's vocation consists of his intimate
relationship to nature, and his possession
of all rational enjOyments OF life.
Why then do we hear the complaint
/ iLOill ~ l'llS0 Il lluSN VI VIC luIllltIS ulluU
times are so hard ?" The answer is,
they are in debt. Debt is a curse that
entails far greater hardship than the fiat
which pronounced the doom of man
till the soil and earn his bread by the
sweat Of his brow. War prices and war
currency afflicted large portion of far,
mers with greed Of gain, which they
INDUCED by plunging in debt. They
are not content with securing good
homes, putting them up in comfort and
laying something by for rainy day, but
they grow lustful for broad acres and
Injuries which can only be enjoyed in
cities, and now that reserves cut short
expected incomes, the pressure Of debt
is felt, and the cry is hard times"
If we could teach only one precept with
force to farmers it would be this Make
yourselves independent Keep your
business snug and safe instead of expen-
sive and risky. Then you can sit by your
hearth side, and if "hard times" looks
in at the window, you can laugh in his
! face.

Letter Writing.

"Brovity, says Shakespeare, is the
soul OF wit" But, alas how little that
Torso expression is appreciated-unheeded
by the world in general, and women in
particular. Half the sermons miss their
mark by being too long, Lawyers, now
and then lose case by becoming too
long.winded, and parents and guardians
not unfrequently over reach their good
intentions by haranguing their charges
beyond their endurance.
But that in which brevity shines out
most charmingly is in letter writing.
Men, however lengthy they he of speech,
rarely write long letters, and particularly
on matters of business. But women al
ways do.
II the letter is to her own dear, dar-
ling Charlie or Harry, Of course there is
nothing to be said. But if only letter
to a friend, it is supposable that one good
sized sheet of note paper will contain all
the gossip, news, and affection Of three
months collecting.
Notes on business should always be as
much to the point as possible and in the
fewest words that can be made to express
their object.
If lady wishes to borrow certain
book from a friend, in all probability she
will cover half Il sheet of paper in com
monplaces before mentioning the real
object of her note.
The writer's object is to obtain the
desired book, and the fact that she has
mentioned the state of the weather, and
recounted the precise stage OF mas cold
and the baby's teeth, will in no wise
facilitate her object. She might just as
well condense the lengthy and loving
epistle into
DEAR JULIA
Will you do me the favor o lend me a
vol, of so-and-so, and oblige
Your affectionate friend, -.
And save her own time and that of the
person addressed. Young ladies, par
ticularly when fresh from boarding
school, rejoice in composing aud writing
long letters Who, indeed, has not heard
the remark, 81 have just written eight
pages" to dear Maria Ann? Now, if
Maria Ann was Il sensible girl, it is quite
possible she just glanced at the fearful
thing, and laid it aside as too great a
waste of time to indulge in.
Young ladies may rest assured that
there is no habit more conducive to
tediousness than that of stringing-out
narration.
If a woman is prosy in her youth,
what will she be in her old age
1t is, also, well to remember that, in
talking as well as in writing, brevity car
lIes a charm. The wittiest things on
record have been expressed in very few
words.

CHINESE WAY OF BRINGING MAN
BACK TO LIFE. The San Francisco Post
says Chinaman in that city, named
All Och, who had been sick with ty-
phoid fever, suddenly, to all appearances,
died. The company to which he be-
longed sent a man to his residence, on
Jackson street, and he on his return re-
ceived a permit to make coffin for the
dead man. Some of the deceased mans
friends, however, not thinking he was
really dead, sent for a Chinese doctor
The medical man soon came, and in ac-
cordance with the custom of his coun-
try, heated an iron poker to a white
heat and burnt the supposed dead man
on the forehead and eyebrows; he also
stabbed him in various portions of the
body. This had the effect of arousing
him; he had only been in trance.
