snsrning went to my heart There are demon
etrnxions that might we'll be omitted {; they are
xll.kehtting con4aerors who possess the slight
~ Feelings of generosity. But the men who
rendered those salutes to be fred are devoid of
snoh feelings, and therefore it is that they act
As they do. -
Lot not that, however. prevent us from
nEaying for all, even for the prosecutors of the
Church. Let us pray that God would be
& pleased to enlighten their minds and mako
s8hem see that in their blindness they are but
Iaboring for their own ruin, and for the ruin of
HAT new order of things without God, and in
opposition to the Gluten, the ;mpsriabable
spouBe of Christ. Pray then, my children, and
receive my benedfction, which extend to all

the father and of the son, and of the recon-
panses which they obtained of God for theii
81 his people, Tobias visited their families and
xelieved their sufferings, encouraged them to
obey the law of God, and reclaimed those whs
had gone astray from it.
In these days of sadness, you are like a nose
gay of choice flowers which God has ordained

The danger in Signor Lanza's mind is, lei
these populations should become still MOI
disAffected than they always have been {
his masters Government and lest I'll
Government of some foreign Power shout
protest against the continued depredi
lions of brigandage. 1t seems that tW
hands Of robbers are the special terror
