REST.
MY feet are wcaried, and my hands are tired
My soul oppressed
And with desire have long desired
Rest-only rest
IT'S hard to toil-when toll is almost vain
~ In barren ways; M
IT'S hard to SOW and never garner grain
In harvest days.
The burden Of my days Is hard to bear -
But God knows best
And have prayed-but vain has been my prayer
For rest-sweet rest
Tis hard to plant in Spring. and never reap
The Autumn yield;
Tis hard to till--and when tits titled to weep
Ger frutless field.
And so cry weak and human cry,
So heart-oppressed;
And so sigh weak and human sigh
For rest-for rest.
My way has wound across the desert years,
Aud cares infest
My path, and through the flowing of hot tears
pine for rest
Twas always so; when still child laid
On mothers breast
MY wearied little head; EN- then prayed,
As now, for rest.

SAVE A LITTLE-Every man who is oblig-
ed to work for his living should make it a
point to lay up little money for that "rainy
day. which we are liable to encounter when
least expected. The best way to do this is to
open an account with a saving bank. Ac-
cumulated money is always safe it is always
ready for use when needed. Scrape together
five dollars, make your deposit, receive your
handbook, and then resolve to deposit given
sum-small though it be, once a month, once
a week, according to the circumstances.
Nobody knows without trying it how easy
thing it is to save money when an account
with bank has been opened. With such an
account man feels desire to enlarge his
deposit. 1t gives him lessons in frngaIity and
economy, weans him from habits Of extrava-
gance, and is the very best guard in the world
against intemperance, dissipation and vice.

A REFORMED BRICK.

The celebrated Sam Brick of Augusta, Me-,
made speech in the Augusta. Reform Club,
which for both pathos and humor is not often
excelled. 1t is necessary to note that Mr..
Brick lost a portion of his nose some years
since by a surgical operation. In concluding
his remarks the speaker said:
"When think of what l am and what
might have been, can well say what rum has
done for me. Little good and much coil. 1t
has made me handsome man; it has re-
strained me from extravagant living costly
clothing valuable jewelry fast horses, seaside
mansions and yachts. 1t has prevented me
from being called bloated bond-holder.
may have been called bloated "bummer, -
but am guiltless of bonds or stock. 1t has
saved me from paying exorbitant taxes on real
estate and relieved me Of the double expense
of putting cupola ON my house and putting
house under my cupola. 1t has relieved me
of family and home. Washing-day are
unknown to me, and my night-key awakens
no wife and children. It has prevented me
from being swindled and robbed. Nobody
borrows of me under pretence of friendship.
Nobody attempts to wrest from me what they
know haven't got-and the only thing have
lost after series of years is a few inches of
my nose, which don't miss. You can all see
what rum has done for me, and let me tell all
within the sound of my voice that if you have
anything to do with the vile stuff it may do
as much for you. Shun the bowl and above
all things the first glass"

A Pauper Millionaire.

j. p. Handbest, Esq, of Philadelphia,
entered the profession of law nearly thirty
years ago, with the determination to accu-
mulate large fortune. He obtained his
wish. He died few days since, leaving
an estate of about 5 ,O00, 900, a very hand
some figure, for one-fourth of which the
majority of lawyers would be willing to
| abandon the noble profession, with it's
| briefs and dusty records, it's calf skin Ii
braries and the painful "vigils of twenty
years." 1t is not very clear in what way
the deceased millionaire attorney con-
| trived to extract enjoyment from the use
of his money. He was q Grst-class shys-
ter, and chased money as if it were the
chief good in the universe. His clients
were of the poorest and lowest class, and
were paid in advance, or bond given him
that made them perfectly secure. He
purchased large amount of real estate,
but reserved for himself only one room,
which was his bed-chamber, dining-room
and law-office. In a certain suit it hap
Ren;ed that several prominent lawyers of
Philadelphia had to have conference
with Hanbest at his room, where they
found him sitting at his desk with a mass
of papers before him, chicken pot-pie in
a basin on his lap, from which he picked
out the tit-bits with his finger, and then
deposited the bones on the floor at his side
along with the scraps of his previous meals.
Finally the poor wretch was stricken with
paralysis in his limbs. His heart had been
paralyzed long before. All he could now
do was TO lie in his bare and carpetless
room like bloated spider, watching his
prey, in the shape of an occasional client.
Not friend was by him to minister to his
wants nor console him. He was destitute
of the commonest comforts of the sick
room. He tried to make will, leaving
few small requests to his sisters and brother
and then endeavoIed to purchase n ticket
to heaven by bequeathing the bulk of his
property to charitable Institutions. AS he
died a few days afterward, the will did not
meet the requirements OF the Pennsylvania
law in regard to time, which renders null
and void the public beques5s of a will ex-
ecuted within one calendar month of the
decease of the testator; these charitable
gifts which he intended, become inopera-
tive, and the entire estate will be divided
among the children of two deceased broth
ers, the living brother and the two sisters.
His wealth thus at last will go to some of
the very persons whom he hoped to cut
OFF from it's benefits. So ended the inces-
SAINT, painful and cheerless tolls of thirty
years. The result could not have been
more worthless by any Continuance of hu-
man ingenuity.-CO Courier Journal.

TITS not only for daily bread, but for other
things almost as necessary to temporal we'll
being and indispensable to eternal salvation,
that we appeal to the Catholics of this city in
behalf of st. Vincent's Home for Boys.
Several years ago, at the suggestion of His
Grace, the Most Rev. Archbishop, and to sup
ply home and protection to at least few of
the young Arabs who wandered through our
streets, following rapidly in those paths which
lead ultimately to crime, the Home was found
ed by the Society of St. Vincent de Paul. The
original intention of the founders was to teach
the boys reading writing and arithmetic, and
some trade by which they might be enabled to
make living, always, however, giving the
greatest attention to their religious and moral
development. The Managers found it impos-
sible, however, to establish workshops but an
arran cement was effected with the Fathers of
the Holy Cross, by which they transferred the
larger boys to their farm aud took charge of
the internal management of the Home. By
the failure of their plan of establishing work
shops, which would by this time, perhaps,
have made the Home self-supporting; the neg

preparation, aud the general diminution of all
their revenues from whatever source, tho man

! oae-half the hoys, or to call upon the chart

course they resolved, and in our advertising

Declaration of Wrongs.

We earnestly request our readers to ex-
anime the Declaration and Appeal OF
the Catholic Union, which they will find on
our third page to-day. Aside from its i'm
portance as an expression of sentiment on
the part of so large body of New Orleans
Catholics, it contains within itself elements
of instruction worth pondering. They VIII
find in it a picture of European affairs,
sketched with a faithful hand, not distort-
ed, not exaggerated. They will see Gov
ernments assuming that lnfaihoility
against which, as existing IN the rope
they protested 30 Indignantly, and claim
ing for Caesar everything that has been
consecrated to God.
Protest antism took its name from its
revolt against the authority or III
other words, the infallibility of the church
| Its cardinal principle is that !each anu
cvcry man must construe the Bible 1or
himself: that he cannot appeal to any TIL
| bupal for certain and conclusive set1ie-
ment of doubts which may exist In his
mind; that, in a word, there is no authorl-
| ty on this earth empowered to settle con-
troyerted points Of faith or morals, to teach
the people with absolute certainty OF cor
RICHNESS, to tell them what is truth and
what is error.
Now what Professionalism denied to the
Church of God, it comedies to the Govern
ment of man. What Bismarck dictates to
it as orthodox, it makes no bones of swal-
lowing. 1t cannot think of falling out with
it's dearest friends-the Governments. The
Church4 Yes, it was worth while to quar-
rel with the Church, because there were
great possessions-the patrimony of tho
poor-to divide out among its plunderers
But what would Professionalism get, save
kicks and cuffs, by protesting against the
Governments No so far as the Lu-
theirs, the Calvins and the Knoxes of this
day are concerned, the Governments may
claims infallibility without any impedi-
ment.
So, as we see so we'll portrayed in the
" Declaration :" of the Catholic Union,
Caesar arrogantly assumes to tell men
what is religious truth, Professionalism sub
mits quietly to the absurd usurpation
while still rebellious against legitimate
authority, and the Church asks God to
stretch forth His hand and teach men that
He still liveth.

Luxury in Education.

We subjoin an extract, bearing on this
subject, from a pastoral of the Canadian
Bishops, recently united in the Fifth Coun-
Gil of Quebec. The evils therein repre-
hended are not unknown in this country.
One of the thousand forms in which pride
shows itself is that of educating ones chill
dren for station far above the one which
they are destined to fill in life.
In saying this, we refer especially to &C
complishment Good solid education,
thorough knowledge of actual science, can
DO made useful almost anywhere. 1t
may be made the means, indeed, of an in
dependant support for the person pos
scssed of it, no matter bow humble his
or her birth or fortune. Where, therefore,
nature has given a talent capable of great
development, it should be no objec-
ton, in the way of its education, that
the possessor is poor or of humble station.
But where there is no special capacity,
where great labor must be undergone for
small acquisitions, where at the same tine
the family is and must remain of lowly
condition, why cramp it's means and tor
ture its children by examining them with
learning which they will never be able 10
master, and which will only serve to make
them Disconnected with their surroundings
in life.
This is more especially questionable in
the case of superficial accomplishments, in
music, painting, drawing, etc., where the
pupils have but little taste and can never
have any appropriate field for their dis
play. Sourness and disappointment otter
follow upon the dissipation of youthful
day dreams based on such foundations, and
the result is unhappiness to both child and
parent.
But how in the world the venerable
Bishops of Canada propose to do anything
more in the premises than give good ad-
vice, is difficult to guess. They suggest
the probability of their taking measures to
obviate the evil, without giving any hint
