To Priests in the Country.

Our Rev. Ciergymen in the country have
it in their power to aid Us in greatly in
creating the circulation of the STAR. In
each town or village throughout the South,
few words from the resident or visiting
priest would secure the accession to our
list Of from ten to fifty subscribers. In
pushing this work, besides the strong rea-
sons which have actuated His Holiness,
Pope Plus, and all the Bishops Of our Holy
Mother the Church, to advise the general
circulation of Catholic works of all kinds,
We would respectfully offer, "a q further
inducement, to supply all priests who send
us subscribers, with such Catholic books
as they may select, to the value Of one
fourth of the money sent to us.

THE TRUE VITALITY OF LIFE.-The
mere lapse of years is not life. To eat and
drink and sleep-to be exposed to the dark
ness and the light-to pace roRnd In the
mill of habit, and turn thought into an i'm
plement of trade-this is not life. In all
ness of humanity is awakened and the
sanctities will slumber which will make it
worth while to be. knowledge, truth,
love, beauty goodness, faith, alone can
give vitality to the mechanism of existence.
The laugh of mirth that vibrates through
the heart; the tears that freshen the dry
wastes within; the music that brings
childhood back the doubt that makes MS

IHE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE
MIR. Jefferson used to relate, with much
merriment, that the final signing of the
declaration of Independence was fastened
BY an absurdly trivial cause. Near the
hall in which the debates were then beino
held was a livery stable, from which
swarms of flies came into the open win
dows, and assailed the silk stockinged legs
OF honorable members. Handkerchief in
hand they dashed the flies with such yieor
as they could command on a JULY after
noon, but the annoyance became at length
so extreme as to render them Impatient of
delay, and they made haste to bring the
momentous business to a conclusion. After
such long and severe strain upon their
minds, members seem to have INDUCED in
many jocular observation as they stood
around the table. Tradition has it that
when John Hancock had affixed his mag
ni6cent signature to the paper he said,
There, John Bull may read nv name

never relinquish the pleasure of repeating
that, when Mr.. Hancock reminded the
members of the necessity of hanging to-

The pilgrimage of the Belgian Catholics to
the shrine OF our Lady of Kerselaer, which
was completed on the 5th May, has surpassed
anything of the kind within the memory of
man. On one day alone 10000 of the inhabit-
ants of forty parishes, headed by their several
cures, visited this welrknown sanctuary and
offered up their fervent prayers for the de-
iverance of the Sovereign Pontiff from the
hands of his enemies We shall see whether
prayer has lost its efficacy, or whether the
sacrilegious -robber of Italy or the Prussiap
Prime Minister will be able to defy the power
of God with impunity.

THE DIFFICULTY OF DECIDING.-The great
labor of life, that which tends more to ex6aust
men than anything else, is deciding. Some
people will suffer any other pain readily INIT
shrink from the pain OF coming to decision
Nov this is supposed to be wholly an evil and
like most other tendencies of the human mind
it is q very benefceat arrangement. There
would be no stability in the world If the max
What was decided yesterday would be upset
to-day and there would be no loug and fair
experience of anything. Whereas, in the
present state of human affairs, even if a great
evil exists, and many people have recognized
the evil, it requires an immense amount of de-
cision and disciveness before the evil can-be
uprooted. This brings into play many high
ing, patience with opponents, and tn Q exhans-
lion OF reasoning powers hroHXht to bear upon

A long time ago German Protestant rose to
the post OF Professor of Oriental languages in
the University of Bonn. His fame travelled to
England. and he was engaged by the English
Society for the Conversion Of the Jews to go
out to Jerusalem as chaplain to the Protestant
Bishop. Now there are people who maintain
that everything in Jerusalem tends to prove
Protestantism. DR.. Kuttner (that was the
gentleman's name) found, however, that his
studies in the Holy Land compelled him to
believe the truth to be in the Catholic Church,
and he returned to England, where he was re-
ceived into the Church by the Redemptorist
fathers. Dr. Kuttner is now lecturing in Cork
ON the Infallbility, and is to proceed soon to
America.

The Voice of the Holy Father.

Providence seems to have given, in our
day, great mission to the Catholic Press.
1t is for it to preserve the principles of
order and of faith, where they still prevail,
and to propagate them where impiety and
cold indifference have caused them to be
forgotten. Letter Of Pope Plus TX, in 1851.
We urgently beseech you to assist, with
all good will and favor, those men who,
animated with spirit and possessed of suf-
ficient learning, are laboring and publish
ing books and journals for the defence and
propagation of Catholic doctrine.n-Ency-

The street was remarkably quiet to-day. The
summer duness appears to intensity by time and
while the mercury ascends the speculative fever
abates. Thus the stay-athomes, whether they
acquire that title by choice or necessity, are per-
force placed In
A PRoPHYLACTIc CONDITION,
as far as speculate ts concerned. II is safe to
say that all the markets arc steady, there Is 30
little doing. There was q slight movement In Erie,
which may be put down only reflection OF the
effort ON the other side to make market. Erie,
occupies an exceptional position anyhow on the
street, and cannot be accepted as a criterion Of
value for any other stock. 1t Is virtually
TIE "KENo'' OF THE STOCK EXCHANGE
attracting more popular excitement, enthusiasm,
feeling, instinct sentiment. or whatever 1t might
DO called which illustrates preference, than any
speculate In Erie who would not deal In any other
stock; just as there are individuals who are willing
enough to take a chance in o keno game while they
would be horrifed at the mention Of faro.

says the poet, ''than never to have loved ut

Hence certain frmness in the stock market, the
result of the most extravagant affection for stock
speculation. Pacific Mail and Erie were the only
features the former advancing TO TS3S and the lat
ter to say, which figure they maintained at the
close. We have suggested the occasion OF the Erie
advance; the advance In Pacific Mail is probably
the result of the announcement OF third steamer
