fluttered up her her cheek once more and
left it again; her heart. like a great trip
hammer was beating out it's blows on her
breast as it forged the life of that next min
ute; but her eyes fell and she never looked
up again. But she arose, and bowling, her
head bent before bride and groom IN one
long proud courtesy-so long and deep an
inclination that she had seated herself on
the low ottoman again in concluding it.
Her hands still held the filigree sticks of the
fan, though the sticks were crushed be-
tween her fingers; her head was still bowed;
the smile was fastened upon her naughty
Up
People turned to look at her as she re-
manned SO that instant, icy and STILL with
the smile, the bent head, the fan, the flicker
of the wax lights gancing in her jewels,
restless where all was fixed, the face
blanching whittier and graver than the an
cent frost. The man has chosen warm
flesh and blood rather than MARBLE" whis-

The Pope and the Free pIasons.

The Pope is the Don Quixote of our age
nereVer he sees windmill, with lance in
rest, he PUSHES at it, when beaten, he con-
soles himself by communicating the OBJ
Jects OF his wrath. When he lately ap-
pointed twenty-five new bishops, and gave
them, as was proper, his fatherly counsel,
ne specially exhorted them to show no
quarter to Free Masonry. Referring to the
conflict between the bishops and the Masops
| in Brazil he said:
In these days a conflict is raging be-
tween some bishops and Catholic govern
ment IN America. The Free Mas0ns are
there; they penetrate everywhere; and, not
contented with sitting among the coup-
selOrs OF the sovereign, they even introduce
ana lnslnuate themselves into the member
snip OF pIous associations, such as contra
ternities, and they blow their trumpet, saw
ing that the Masons of that part of America
are not condemned, because thew are NOT
like those of Europe, but are a charitable
society. The assertion is false; they are
communicated and mathematical like
all the rest. Nevertheless, they go to the
lengths have stated; and now that the
bishops are saying with st. John the Bap-
fist, Non Hcet, they raise a cry, thew
threaten public hostiities, and they imperiI
the church and the throne. II 1t had been
said from the beginning, Nom Hcct, better
effects would have been seen; now how
ever, the republicans of the streets. the
wicked, and even the ministers themselves
Hereby oppose the bishops, in order to sup
port these sectaries condemned by the
church, and thus to produce those grave
scandals and those ruinous nischiefs which
are feared. Wherefore, dearly beloved
brethren, cry aloud in time in all cases of
unjust pretensions-cry, Nom Hcet"
To what lengths will this foolish old man
who persuades himself that he ia infalljblp,
go2 He has cursed the King of Italy, and
all who have taken part in the promotion
OF Italian unity; be has denounced the Old
Catholics as schlsmatics; he has poured his
wrath upon the Protestants who are hon
estly trying to do good in Rome: he ci1rses
the Masons-whom will he not curse He
has flung himself against modern civilizs-
ton, determined to arrest it by the force of
his infallibility. The spectacle. is an amaz.
ing one. Men are puzzled to determine
whether they should feel grieved or laugh.
The Ma5ons are charitable association.
Whether to unite with them or not is a
question OF common prudence; by many
GOOD men that question is decided in one
way, and By many equally good men in
quite another. But the consignment of
them to eternal perdition, as enemies of
God and his people, is an outrage which
only Pope could commit. The truth is
the Roman priesthood will tolerate no Sc
cresy which they can not control; thew will
nave all human hearts laid bare to their in
spection, and will be assured that thew hold
in their hands the springs of all human ace
tons. By this power they would. if theys
could, control the world, and Masonry. inst
as Professionalism. is IN their way. The
priesthood Is itself secret organic alton.
and will endure no rival.-New YorL Neths
