A COMMON ERROR.

To concentrate your energies to some
purpose, and achieve grand object, it
Is not necessary to become recls,se from
society.
On the contrary, to be properly in
formed and individualized, you must as
sociate with people.
No one can estimate the tendencies of
the age, or understand the true conGli-
ton of things without watching the
general pulse, and observing its throb-
bings in the world of humanity.
This is true in all cases, however lit
tie the purpose Of an individual may
have to do with things beyond earning a
livelihood. Any one who wishes to
avoid falling into narrow groove, and
daily retrOgrading into ignorance, must
mlngle with the world. Theories are
sometimes good, but no mind is suf-
flciently independent to allow its best
development unaided by the pruning
and refining received by contact with
the thoughts and experiences of other
minds and lives.
To "stay at home and mind her own
business" has long been considered a
virtue in women, even when it is evil
dent that the old tabby purring on the
hearth-rug before the fire, thinks as
much upon subjects OF general interest
as do many OF those domestic women
whose feet have for years been in q
tread-mill of housework.
1t is important that houses shall have
comfortable appointments, such as a
well-filled larder, clean beds, and all
that; and that little boys shall have
whole Jackets and trousers to wear and
girls tidy dresses and aprons; and faith
ers and big brothers shall have their
shirts in order and their meals on time {;
and that rainy days shall happen along
often enough for all the stockings to be
kept in heels and toes; but there will be
no wash-boards, fiat-irons, rolling pins,
sewing machines or needles in the next
world.
To have been q thrifty housewife, and
to have done your duty in the way Of
devotion to the eating, drinking and
wearing departments, does not lay up
much of store of ideas for the mind
One needs to combine with those neces-
stiles reading and social contact, or re-
main almost as ignorant as savage.

Has any one called upon him, or
thought of calling upon him, ''to sur
render the right and privilege of meet
ing his fellow-Christiaus around the ta-
BILE Of our dear Lord? ?''
1t is almost incredible that one who
had been. elected Bishop by the Dio-
cese of Kentucky, should not clearly
perceive the absoluteness of this fallacy,
under the pressure of which he has
abandoned the flock over which he had
been made the shepherd.
If DR.. Cummins really quilted the
Church because of the thought that he
could not partake of the Lords Supper
side by side with ''his fellow-Christian
of other Churches" he was frightened
by a ghost to which he himself had Civ
en- shape aud motion.
The truth is, the question regarding
DR.. Cummins' engaging i'll the service
in ''Dr. Halls Church, is not one of
conamunion at ali. 1t is question OF
doctrine and worship. Thrice in his
life, Or. Cummins has solemnly repeat
ed a solemn oath that lie would con-
form to the doctrine ftiiscipline) aud
worship of the Protestant Episcopal
Church. This thrice-repeated VOW he
broke in two respects. lie disregarded
L
at the hands of one not among those
whom the Church declares to be lawful
ly called and ordained, and therefore
authorized to administer that Sacrament.
He disregartled her worship in that he
performed what he himself calls ''cele-
brating the Lords SUPPER" without
using the Liturgy which she has set
apart and ordered to be used. These
two matters are totally distinct from
that of Communion, and it is equally
true that they are matters in respect to
both of which DR., Cummins violated his
oath, and broke the law of the Church.
The Western Catholic, published in
Chicago, boldly avows that the object of
romanish hostility to the public schools
isthat by separation from them Catho-
lies may more successfully build up
hteir Church, and then with equal bold
ness avOws its expectation of State aid
the Catholic schools i'm process of time
the place its language here as matter
i'm public record.
"Whoever does send his children to
the public schools is weakening our
house by lending help to the enemies OF
| Catholicity. Moreover it is our duty to
| strengthen Catholic schools by all the
means in our power; by our example,
our professions, our money, as far as we
can. 1t is true that it is burdensOme to be
supporting two sets of schools, but thai
is one of the misfortunes Of living in q
country principally peopled by nom
| Catholics. We have to endure it for d
time. One of the best means of obtain.
ing justice for our schools is by sending
our children to them, for when our OPP.
ponents see that we will not patronize
their schools they will then the more
readily yield us our rights in this re-
gard. They may say that the CoBstitu
tion of the State of illinois forbids Civ
ing aid to separate schools. The Con
stitution of the United States once re.
cognized slavery, 1t was changed. Sc
will the Constitution of the State of IL
linois as it affects separate schools.
1t would be well for this paper not t,
be too san guine.-Harper's Weekly.

nLlND LITTLE ELSIE.

ID Other mothers cottage, lowiy and poor;
A pretty thing to look at was she,
I'm sure, If you saw her, you'd agree;

with the sunshine bright
With its rosy light
She WINS sitting
Knitting, knitting,
AS the happiest lark in its heavenward flight,
weaving weaving her gay 1 thread 5 in ma and St out

The rippiing brook and the birds and bees,

His'kindly voice was plying, sad,
But Elsie's answer came quick and glad;
s sin all these things, though my eyes are blind,
The waving trees
And the hum OF the bees

Sing sweeter, because I cannot see;
The clouds, tits true, have never been mine,
But catch every ray Of the warm sunshine;
Sand my heart Is always full OF good cheer
As day by day am knitting here
Bright little socks for baby toes,
Mittens TO shield when cold wind blows,
Gray socks for fathers toiling feet;
What wonltfI do if'fc could not knitr, -

Twenty eight Chinese women, imported

out Tor the auction block, were taken To the

principal Chinese alleys, and, as might he
expected created great i!uttcr of excite

keepers, and wealthy roucS, the consignment
being, from Chinese standpoint, superior in
beauty To that of any yet received. The bid

$500 10 500, while one oliyc-hued, almond
