THEOLOGY AND SCIENCE.

Inc difference between provable an d
unprovable science is very we'll stated by
the author of the article on "Comte and
fostivlsm in the Neao- EngIdnder for
April. Comte limits science to the dis
covery OF the laws of succession and sim
liltude which characterize actual ;phenom-
ena and real existence. We quote 1.-The
hypothetical 'clashing of atoms, which
plays so conspicuous part in the scientif-
lc expositions Of Prof Tyndall, would re-
celve quietus if called to account before
the tribunal of positivism Prof Huxly' S
f'hyslcat Basis of Life; would be found
utterly baseless, if tested by the rigid
canons OF the Positive Philosophy. !.
NJ. Comte would no more tolerate such
fancles In science than he does the alleg-
ed notions OF theology in the opposite
clrectlon. In like manner, Mr.. Dar-
WIN famous hypothesis of 'pangenesis,'
with Its 'cell-units' throwing off gem
mules or undeveloped atoms freighted
with the destinies of individuals and races
tnrough the long ages to come, would
fali before the rule of NJ Comte, which re-
qulres that science shall employ only such
nypotheses as admit of possible verifica-
ton. The same may be said of Mr.. Her
bert Spencer's hypothesis of 'physiologic-
al units Its suppositional elements can
never be reached and tested by observation
or experiment., or by any other legitimate
mode OF scientific verlfcation. Mr.. Spen-
GERS scheme of organic evolution, set
forth in his work on Biology, abounds in
hypotheses, which are similarly made up
IN whole or in part of unverifable ele-
ments."
We are, of course, not Positivists: but
the passage illustrates our meaning in say
ing that large part of what is to-day

CATHOLIC.

The Catholic ReUie,O represents that the
mission founded for the conversion of the
Southern negroes to Roman Catholi-
cism is in growing and healthy condi-
ton. "At present there are six Ameri-
can students at the College of St. Joseph,
at Mill Hill, Middlesex, England, making
the preparatory studies for this mission,
besides five Englishmen, six Irishmen,
three Germans, two Hollanders, and one
Belgian. The Americans are: John 81.
Green, Washington, D. g.; dennis Hurley,
Baltimore, Md; Theophilus Meyer, SYRIA
cuse, NY: John R. Slattery, New York
City; Mich ell NJ. Walsh, Boston Edward
Delaney, Pennsylvania. Like all other
priests, these young men bind themselves
to chastity and obedience to their ecclesi
astical superior; = but they add another
obligation, which binds them for life to
the negro mission, where they will be
the fathers and servants of the blacks.'
A bill has passed the Upper House o.
the Prussian Diet to regulate the Clergy.
The object seems to be to subordinate
the Catholic Clergy represented by the
Jesuits. to the State.
The reason assigned is: they are proven
to be dangerous to the government.
The taste displayed in fixing UP the
School yard of ST. Michael's Academy
could justly be initiated by others in
School ornam entation.

cynical Reflections.
From the Boston elObo.l


Our old friend, the Pail Mall Gazette
has taken cynical fit into its head. II
declares that boys nearly hate girls, and
that the feeling is returned; old mer
care little for women of any age, except
as nurses; old women creep together
1t is only during the central portion oi
life that the sexes can be said to be civil
to one another declares the Gazette.
In fact, if nature had not forced men
and women to love each other during
that portion willynilly, and given them
that incredible and perplexing bribe Of
children, it is doubtful whether they
wonld have any mutual liking.
Love is all that exists between
them. The score of other feelings,
of understanding, sympathy, for in
stance, of appreciative respect, OF
rational emulation which men have for
men and women for women, neither sex
has for the other. 1t is astonishing to
the Pail Mall Gazette, considering what
a complete, intricate, long association
the bringing up family ties couple to,
that they do not become more really in
innate than they do even in the best
cases. Doubt may well be. felt that there
are few husbands and wives who, in spite
Of all the trials they have shared, have
not at the bottom Of their hearts a sense
of grievance one against the other. At
least it may fairly be said that if there
we're any joint concern of another kind
which kept two men or two women part
ners of fortune under such mutual re-
sponsibilities for as long a period, they
gogld develop more warmth Of feeling
on each side.

rhe La.t pays Of Gosthe.

From BlackWood's MagaEine.l
His life ended most TRANQUILITY, among
such honors as have fallen 10 few men,
He lived 80 long that his fame went 10
the ends OF the earth. and brought him
universal worship. From all the differ
ent points Of the compass idolaters
came TO bow before his shrine, and
these not common idolaters. In intel
lectual Germany he ruled supreme,
though he was not political or patri-
otic German, aud took but little interest
in the national cause. His way to the
grave was as pleasant, as gradual, as
softly carpeted with moses and flowers,
as ever beguiled human footsteps onward
Welmar became iamons through the
world by his means. 1t was no longer
known as little ducal residence, or the
capital Of tiny province, but as the
temple in which was adored the greatest
poet of his age. There, surrounded by
his friends and children, he died. His
companions we're mostly gone before
him. Duke and duchess and brother
poet had been swept away into the un-
seen, and another generation had taken
their place; but it was a generation
which, from its earliest breath, had been
trained to adore Goethe. He was eighty
two when the end came. He died an
ideal death, with as small an amount of
suffering as was inevitable, and with no
consciousness of the approaching con-
clusion. The last words he uttered in
this world we're, More light words
most touchingly symbolical, though he
meant it not. His life had been excep-
tionally prosperous, calm and without
anxiety. All he had wished for had
fallen into his hands, and long and
mellow evening of repose had followed
upon the bright and busy lingering day.
Thus lived and labored and died man
who has, perhaps, been classed at more
widely different estimatioRs than any
other man OF his time. If we cannot
allow, with Carlyle, that he and the
first Napoleon we're the two greatest
men Of their day, it must at least be
conceded by the least willing that his
influence spread more widely, and we
may say, has lasted longer, than that of
any othor modern member Of the great
brotherhood of poets. He did much,
and suggested much. He set minds
as great as his own going with a touch
of his finger. And he was infinitely
fortunate in catching exactly the right
moment and the right subject to move
the world withal. His fame and his ma
ture were profoundly national and
though his patriotism was dull, he had
perhaps more to do than any of his con-
temporaries with the creation of that
national sentiment without which no
country can ever be great. In every
way, therefore, the effects which he
meant to produce were increased and
magnifed by effects which he did not
mean to produce-reAections and i'm
pulses which he threw off almost with
out knowing. There can be no better
applause given to human greatness,

The Spectator adds that nothing delights

son, Esq., who for % years has conducted the
business entrusted to him in the most careful
manner, aud whose books, kept in hand

duty rarely equalled and never surpassed, are
the best monuments Of his useful, though quiet

The Old Fashioned Mother.

All bow much meaning is embraced in tha,
simple expression, the Ol4 FdsliOnsd NgiEer.
It carries our thoughts hack to those women,
whose home-inAuence was pure aud eleystag;
who taught their sens aud daughters 10 render
themselves to society by their goodness, their
diligence, and their useful knolrledge How
few modern mothers understand or perform
their duty in the training Of their childrs0.-
To show of to advantage seems now to be the
great business OF lie Is it any wonder that
there are SO many desolate 6resides, so many
unhappy wives, So many drinking gambling
husbands?
Thank God seue o. us have he'd an cid
fashioned mother. Not woman of the period
enamelel aud painted, with her grea, ebignon,
curls and hustle, whose white jeweled hands
have never felt the clasp Of baby fingers; but
dear, old fashioned, sweet-vsiced mother
with eyes ia whose clear depths the I've-lighs
shown, aud brown hair threaded with silver,
lying smooth upon her faded cheek. Those
dear hands worn with toll, gently guided our
lettering steps in childhood, and smoothed our
pilowin sickness, even rSachins to US in yesrn-
ing tenderness when her sweet spirit was bap-
tized in the pearly spirit Of the river,
Blessed is the memory Of an old-hshioned
mother. 1t floats to US now, like the beauti-
fu perfume of some woodland blossoms. The
music of other voices may be lost, but the en-
trancing memory Of hers will echo iu eur
souls forever Other faces will fade away and
be forgotten but hers will shine on until the
lights from hsven's portal shall glorify our
own. When in the fiful pauses Of busy life
our feet wander back 70 the old homestead,
aud, crossing the well-worn threshold, so hall
lowed 10y her presence, now the feeling Of
childish innocence aud dependence comes over
us. and we kneel down in the molten sunshine,
streaming through the western viudow--just
where longa years ago wo knelt by our
mothers kuee lisping "Our Father" How
many times when the tempter lured US on, has
the memory Of these sacred hunrs, that moth
ers words, her faith aud prayers, saved us
from punging into the abyss Of sin. Years
have filed great drifts between her aud US but
they have not hi Llen from our sight the glory
Of her pure unSelish love.
