in It's drst number of the current year a
review of the political aud religious state
Of Japan during 1872, extracts from which
appear in the MissioRs Catalogues, the or
gan of the Society for the Propagation OF
the Faith. The Statements of the Weekly
Mail which refer Co the prosecutions may
be TINS summarized. At the beginning OF
1872 the good news arrived from Nagasaki
that q certain number of the transported
and imprisoned native Christians had been
set at liberty by the orders of the Govern
ment. But for long time the Treatment
of the prisoners by the authorities was ia
spired by the desire to obtain apostasies
and a few-only few-fell away from the
faith. That those who remained faithful
under their sufferings were better treated
sentations of the diplomatists. But during
the four years which have elapsed since
the first arrests, out of 8, SOC men, women
and children, 200 have died under the
privations and snfferipgs to which they
have been subjected. From i 500 to z, 600,
therefore, are all that remain, and there were
contradictory rumours, one that the former
seventies were about to begin again, and
the other that an amnesty was to be pro-
claimed. The intelligence just received
gives ground for hope that the latter report
was the true one but it is worth observ-
ing that last year, when the statements
respecting the end of the persecution were
most rife, the only edict concerning the
Christians was one dated the 18Th March,
1872, and thus was entitled: proclamation
pardoning Christians who have recanted."
We shall soon learn whether the recent
measure is an amnesty of more gen uine
character.-London Tablet.

A poof, forlorn, unhappy Scotchman, now in
the House of Refuge OF Blackwells Island
(says Appleton's JOWrnaD, had one intense long

and poems of Burns. His appealing and pa
grateful sufferer replied in the following lines
"Immured and buried In this outcast's don;
Cut of from ali warm svmpathies Of men;
Hoping gainst hope each dull morn returns,

The semi-annual meeting of the board of
government of the Catholic Total Abstinence
Union of America, embracing the officers Of
the National Union and presidents of the va
rious State Unions in the country, was held in
Philadelphia, Tuesday, April LIST, Rev. James
McDevitt, of Washington, d. G. in the chair.
The semi-annual report, which is an elaborate
statement of the condition of affairs within
the organization, was read, which shows that
there are in the Union 1852 societies, aggrega-
ting about twenty thousand members, and
that there are two hundred Catholic Total Alb
stinence Societies not yet affiliated with the
Union. A committee was appointed with q
view of connecting the societies of ireland
with those of this country in an Information
al Union. The secretary was instructed to
bring officially to the notice of the societies,
the Association of Prayer in honor of the most
sacred Thirst of Jesus, and give them such in
formation as will lead to the establishment OF
branch association in connection with each
society. The Executive Council was likewise
instructed to prepare a uniform pledge for the
societies to be presented at the next general
convention, which will be held in the city Of
, New York on the 9Th of next October. The
experience of the several officers in relation
to the working of the transfer system wal

The trial of the responsible editor of the
Berlin Germanid, on the charge of reproducing
and commenting on the Papal Allocution, has
been concluded, and that gentleman has been
acquitted by the Supreme Court on the ground
that the said allocution contained nothing |
injurious to the Emperor or to the German Gov |
eminent, TOT did it contain any punishable
criticism of the measures taken or orders is
sued by the Government" This is the same
ALLEGATION for the publication of which many
| newspapers were suppressed in Germany, and
| which gave occasion to the Liberal ~ papers
in Germany, England and this country to pour
| out the walls of their wrath and hatred upon
the Holy Father and Catholics in general;
and the same, also, which was characterized
by Bismarck as the gauntlet" thrown down
| by the Catholic Church to the new empire of
Germany. The President and Vice-President
of a large meeting recently held at Bonn, have
4 also recently been tried, on the charge of high
treason, for having signed a telegram TO the
Holy Father copgratnlating him on 'the memo
rable and unwavering frmness displayed in
his last allocution." They were also acquitted
by the Supreme Court on the same grounds as
those set forth in its decision in the of the
0 Editor of the Germania. These examples show
the extent of the liberty and federation which
Bismarck proposes to accord to the $4,000, 900
of Catholics who contributed SO much to the
G unifcaton of Germany. 1t is consoling, how
ever, to find that the courts of justice are not
: altogether subservient to the will of the
J. Chancellor, though the change he now pro.
. poses to have made in the constitution, and
. the new ecclesiastical laws at present under
n discussion, will remove the last barriers to his
It desire for violent persecution of the Casho
n lilo Church.

THE PLOUGHMAN.

Clear the brown path to meet his coulter's gleami
Lo ON he comes, behind his smoking team,
With Tolls bright dew-drops his sun-burnt brow,
The lord of earth, the hero of the plough!
First in the field before the reddening sum-
Last in the shadows when the day is DONE
Line after line, along the bursting sod,
Marks the broad acres where his feet have trod.
Still where he treads the stubborn clods divide;
The smooth, fresh furrow opens, deep and wide;
Matted and dense the tangled turf upheayes;
Mellow and dark the ridgy corn-ied cleaves
Up the steep hillside, where the 1aboring train
Sants the long track that scores the level plain,
Through the moist valley, cogged with oozing clay,
The patient convoy breaks its destined way;
At every turn the loosening chains resound,
The swinging pl0llghshare circles gstening round
Till the wide field one bilowy waste appears
And weaTied hands unbind the painting steers.
These the hands whose sturdy labor brings
The peasan It's food the golden pomp of kings
This is the page whose letters shall be
Changed by the sun to words of living green;
This is the scholar whose immortal pen
Spells the first lesson hunger taught to men
These are the lines, o, heaven-cOmmanded Toll,
That fill thy deed-the charter of the soil
o, gracious mother, whose benignant breast
Wakes us to life, and lulls us all to rest
How sweet thy features, kind to every cline,
Mock with their smiles the wrnkled front of Time !
We stain thy fowers-they blossom DER the dead;
We rend thy bosom and it gives us bread;
Der the red field that Irampling strife has torn
Waves the green piumage of thy tasselled corn;
Our maddening conflicts scar thy fairest plain,-
Still thy soft answer is the growing grain.

PEACE, BE STILL.

The waves dash high on Galilee;
The sun goes down upon the sea;
And far beyond the peaceful lea,
Where no human power can save
Those in peril on the wave,
Rides vessel, at the will
OF the tempest. Who shall still
The storm grows fiercer-death is near
The captain speaks no word of cheer
The trembling sailors cry in fear
"WhO shall pity-who shall save,
Those in peril on the wave;
Who subdue the tempest's will
Who the angry pillows stilll"
But One there is can save or keep,
Who fearless rests in peaceful sleep
Amid the raging of the deep;
CRY they then, Oh. Jesus, save
Those in peril on the wave"
And the storm Obeyed His will
At the bidding, peace, be still "
The ship, sped safe the waters DER,
Was anchored on a sunlit shore.
And now the sailors evermore
Praise the Saviour sent to save
Those in peril on the wave;
He who spake, and at whose will,
Angry winds and waves were still.
If ever cast where tempest's reign,
And hope in human strength is vain,
Oh brothers tossed upon the main,
Trust in Him who came to
Those in peril on the wave;
Your deliverance bides His will
Who shall bid the storm 'be stillp'
Behold the harbor shining fair
And bark what music fills the air
Oh joyful day, when shall then
Meet with Him who came to save
Those in peril on the wave!
He who held the storm at will
With the bidding, "Peace be stillw

ROAST GoosE.-Roast goose is to be
prepared in the same manner as the tur-
key. The dressing should be made of
mashed potatoes, seasoned with salt, pep.
per and sage, or onions, if according tc
the taste of the family. Make giblet
sauce by boiling the UPWARDS, until
very tender, chopping them fine, and
adding them to gravy made by using
the liquor in which they were boiled
thickened with flour, and to which ha
been added one ounce of butter, ant
pepper and salt to suit the taste.

That is superior goodness which is
good for the sake of reward. The child
that speaks the truth for the sake of
the praise of truth is not truthful. The
man who is honest because honesty is
the best policy has no integrity in his
heart He who endeavors to be humble,
and holy, and perfect, in order to win
heaven, has only a counterfeit religion.
God for His own sake, goodness because
it is lovely-this is the Christians aim.
The prize is only an incentive; INSOFAR
able from success, but not the aim itself.

WINTER MEETING OF THE YER
MONT DAIRYMEN,S ASSO-
CATION.

Mr.. Secretary Bliss issues the follow
ing eloquent manifesto. We hope and
expect that the coming meeting will be
a greater success than any of its pred
ecessors. Let every man and woman in
the State who make butter or cheese or
have the care of dairy stock attend the
meeting if they can get there. 1t will
pay.
The Fifth Winter Meeting Of the YER
mont Dairymen's Association will be
held at Essec Junction, Wednesday,
Thursday, and Friday, January 2lst,
22d and 23d, 1874.
1t has ever been the policy of the gov
eminent of the Association to bring to-
gether such an array of practical men,
accustomed to give expression to their
thoughts, as would make the meetings
worthy Of the attendance and cordial
cooperation of the foremost minds in the
great battle of agricultural progress.
Acting upon the theory that all men
know more than any one man, it has
been our endeavor, as far as possible
without seeming to indicate to those
who have favored US with their aid, to
drift clear of the system of long didactic
addresses and lectures, and rather by a
series of short, pithy, incisive, introduce
tory essays to elicit the experiences, not
only of our friends from abroad, but also
of our own members and neighbors. If
we may give full credit to the encomiums
of our visitors, no organization of the
kind has been more successful, or has
accomplished greater measure of good,
and no essential modification of the
general plan of our meetings is contem-
plated at this time. From its very in
ception, however, the motto of the Asso.
citation has been ONWARD, and no effort
will be spared to make this meeting
more interesting and more profitable
than any of its predecessors.
At this stage, we deem it no longer
necessary to parade the names of mel
eminent as farmers and dairymen, or il
some of the subsidiary arts or sciences
who will meet with US upon this occa
sion. 1t is sufficient to say that there
will be no lack of such, and yet Their
is room for more. Let who will, come
and come prepared to do good and &c
! good. There will be an exhibition o
dairy products and implements.

WHY WOMEN LOSE THEIR
BEAUTY.
BY DEXTER SMITH.

Shut up in houses nine-tenths of their
time, with either no exercise, or that
which is of limited, irksome sameness,
they are, as consequence, naturally
pale. soft, and tender; their blood Is
poorly organized and watery, their mus
cles small and fabby; and the force and
functions of their bodies, as whole, run
low in the scale of life. A spurious
fulness is often seen in the outlines dur
ing girlhood, which usually melts like
snow under an April sun whenever the
endurance is put to the test, as in per-
forming the functions of mother. The
change in appearance from the maiden
of one year to the mother of the next is
often so striking and enduring that it is
difficult to believe that we are looking
at the same person. The round, pleas
ant shape is prematurely displaced by
pinched angularity, and an untime
ly and unseemly appearance of age.
Travellers from other countries, who
have had extensive means for observa-
ton and comparison, have remarked up
on the great beauty of American women
and the early age at which it is lost.
Some have ascribed this to the climate;
but more intelligent observers agree
that it is a dollhouse, enervating mode
of life. English ladies of rank, who,
by the way, are celebrated for keeping
their beauty even to ripe old age,
think nothing of walking half dozen
miles at time, while American ladies
would think such thing perfectly
dreadful" If American women, so
daintily and richly fed, will sit in dark
and sultry rooms the live-long day, they
must expect to bloom too soon, to has
ten through this charming period-at
the longest in about ten years-and for
twenty five years after having the sat-
sisfaction of being thin, wrinkled, angu-
lar and sallow.

A little deed, in Gods time, comes
up, bearing fifty, sixty, or hundred
fold, like a tiny seed falling from the
pine trees sky-kissed top. Looking
back, it sees how far off the clouds are,
and the arms that Graded it; yet the
patient days, that come while a century
fades, lift it up till it bears in its storm
tossed branches generation of future
forests for the worlds need.
