a Lesson for the Times.

Thirty-nine years ago the great Catholic
jurist and scholar, the late Judge CASTOR,
of North Carolina, in bis splendid address
before the American Wing and Cliosophic
Societies Of Princeton College, New Jersey,
said:
When the lust of gain becomes inordi-
nate and universal, it is deadly foe to
intellectual cultivation and refinement, to
individual honesty and benevolepce, to
public virtue and public freedom. Intel
iectusl pre- eminence is not to be acquired
be found to encounter such toll, unless the
public voice accord to the successful
student the need of high distinction. But
where wealth alone is recognized as the
title to superiority over learning, however
profound taste, however cultivated ;
however elegant, command no respect il
found in what are too frequently and most
upiust1y called the humble walks of life.
Poverty is regarded not as q misfortune
but as disgrace. Determinations and extern
sive display is INDUCED as evidencing
claims to the distinctions which belong to
the honored rich. The envious are excited
to resentment and the silly to imitation.
How many happy families have drained
the cup OF misery to the dregs because they
would fain ape the dress, the equipage and
the style of the arrogant rich, and cheat the
world into belief OF their wealth How
many fathers have had their hearts wrung
with agony, and their heads bowed down
in shame to the earth, because of the
guilty deeds of their sons, whom extrava-
gance reduced to want, want tempted to
profligacy and profiigacy led on to infa
nous crime9 And what are his enjoy
ments, what his merits, who has no other
object than to hoard or display his
riches. His pursuits have in them no mix
ture whatever of the social affections.
They habitually present his interest as in
opposition to the interest of Others. and
love which it is always go difficult to re-
strain within the bousds of reason. He
loses all relish for Intellectual and moral
pleasures, is sOrdid ia his views and coarse
and sensual in his qualifications. But the
contagiun spreads wealth accumulated or
wealth squandered becomes the theme of
vulgar admiration, and tho burger Of gold
prevails as an epidemic. The dearest ties
of family affection are sundered without
remorse, if distant land present pros
pect of more rapid accumulation the
holiest words of human union, founded in
reason, loyal, just and pure, and conse-
Grated by God himself as the best security
of virtue and pledge of happiness, are de-
graded into joyless, mercenary bargain !;
the Glow and moderate profits OF exchanges
mutually beneficial, are abandoned for Wild
and wicked speculation, in which the win
ner loses at least his honesty, and the I'M
successful gambler loses all. It is a lust
denounced of heaven, and Co disregard the
denunciation is impiety.

A Touching Incident.

We heard story told the other day,
that made our eyes moisten. We have de
termined to tell it, just as We heard it, to
our little ones:
A company Of poor children who had
been gathered out of the alleys and garrets
of the city were preparing for their de.
parture to new and distant homes in the
West. just before the time of starting on
the cars, one of the boys was noticed aside
from the others and appeared very busy
with cast off garment. The superinten
dent stepped up to him, and found that he
ed Innings. It proved to be his old jacket,
which, having been replaced by q new one,
had been thrown away. There was no time
to be lost.
"Come jobs, COME" said the snperin-
tendent. "what are yon going to do with
that old piece of calico Z"
"Please sir" said John, II am cutting
it to take with me- My dear mother put
the lining into this old jacket for me.
This was piece of her dress, and is all
have to remember her by"
And as tho poor boy thought of that
dear mothers Iowa, and of the sad death
scene in the old garrett where she died, he
bed as if his heart would break. But the
train was about leaving, and John thrust
the little piece of calico into his bosom to
remember his mother by, hurried into a
car and was soon far away from the place
where he had seen so much sorrow. We
know many an eye will moisten as the
story is told and re- told throughout the
country, and prayer will 60 to God for the
fatherless aud motherless in all great cities
and places. Little readers, are your moth
ers still spared to you7 Will you not
show your love by obedience That little
boy who loved so well, surely obeyed.
Bear this in mind that if you should one
day have to look upon the face of dead
mother, no thought would be SO bitter as
to remember that You had given her pain
by your wilfulness and disobedience.-Ec.

"Wbat does it matter 2"
"What does it matter say you 2" cried
the gondolier /; "much-much, much to
me! Tell me your name, signor, that /
may love and honor it to the last moment
of my life."
"Men call me Michael Angelo"
"It is my turn now" LIE said, "to ask
you favor. It is to permit me to per.
petuate on canvas the lovely feartures of
Maria"
The girl approached she could not
speak but she clasped the painters hand
and raised it to her lips.-A tear fell on it,
and Michael Angelo, as he drew it back
turned away to conceal his own emotions.
Twenty years passed on, and found An

AS to the crayon sketch of the miser's
hand, it was taken from Italy by a soldier
in Napoleon's army, and placed in the
Louvre. During the invasion of 1914 it
was unfortunately lost, aud, so far as can
be ascertained, has never since been re-
covered. The story of it's production,
however, still fingers amongst the tradi-
tons of Venice.-Crusader.

demand in exchange for it six hundred
pistoles.
"six hundred fools head !" cried the
innkeeper." 4" would not give a zeechin
for it."
Without speaking, the artist turned
haughtily away.
The gondolier took the parchment, and
looked with astonishment at its guise. He
then turned doubtfuliy toward Maria but
q glance from her soft dark eyes reassured
Kim and he set out on his mission.
With folded arms and a moody brow the
artist commenced pacing up and down the
large room in the hostelry, casting at in
tervals scrutiuiEing glance at the young
girl, who, now penitent for her intended
crime, was silently praying in the corner.
AS far Giauettini, he seemed unable to
shake off the strange ascendsncy gained
over him by his unknown visitor /; his
habitual effrontery failed him and for the
first time in his life he dared not break the
silence.
An hour passed. Then hasty, joyous
steps were heard, and Antonio appeared,
bearing in his hand bag and a letter. The
bag contained six hundred pistoles, and
the letter was addressed to the artist, and
praying him to honor the sender with a
visit.
"Take these coins and weigh them,n
said the unknown, as be threw the bag
toward Gianettini.

THE ANTARTIC SEAS.
The Home OF the Albatross and Pen
guin-Sea Elenhants and the n ode
of Hunting Them.

One of those OH board Her Majcs-
tvs ship Challenger, in her recent
cruise between the Cape Of Good
Hope, the Antartic Seas and Austr.l-
in, writes us follows to the London
Times.
The usual westerly winds and
boisterous weather of the 'roaring
fortics" was experienced as the ship
ran quickly along for Prince Ed
wards Islands, lying l, 100 miles to
the southeast of the Cape; only one
sounding in 900 fathoms being OBJ
tanned to the westward of them, the
bottom brought up by the rod being
pure globigerina oozcs. While sound
ing, a solitary penguin rose to the
surface, barked ut us several times
and dived out of sightagain. Christ
mas Day was spent at sea with any
thing but seasonablc weather, but it
cleared up in the evening, and the
next morning the weather being un-
usually fine, a landing was effected
without much trouble on Marion Is
land, the southernmost of the two
forming the group, and named after
their discoverer.
The rain here for sometime back
must have been nearly constant, as
the ground was one immense boggy
swamp. The slopes of the hills are
used by the prion and other petrels
as breeding warren. They nest in
holes in the ground, under the large
tufts of moss, in such numbers that
we found walking very laborious, our
knee boots breaking in the roof of
the moist nesting place, and sinking
deep into the honey-combed ground
at every step. The whole Of the wet,
sodden flat lands were studded with
the large white albatrosses sitting on
their nests. The magnificent birds,
most of them were asleep, covered
the ground in such numbers that they
looked for all the world like flock
of sheep studded over a meadow.
The nests, used yearly, were freshly
covered with tufts of grass and moss,
and stood some two feet above the
swampy grounds. 1t was evidently
the commencement of the breeding
season, MS few eggs were obtainable.
These splendid birds weigh l94
pounds, and measure lO4 feet from
tip to tip Of wing, seen to such an adj
vantage while in their glory at sea,
SO evidently at home us they sweep
so gracefully through the air, are on
land completely at sea. 1t appears
to be impossible for them to hover;
so, on alighting at the end of u
swoop, the momentum OF the body is
carried on after their feet haye touclt-
ed the ground, until they literally
turn head over heels onto their backs,
from which inglorious position their
efforts to regain their equilibrium are
anything but graceful. While adj
vancing on the nest the neck is ex-
tended and the body lowered rs they
waddle along, exactly like geese.
To rise in the air they are obliged to
run with extended wings for some
200 yards over the soaking grass be-
fore they can obtain sufficient veloci-
ty for the air to get under tho wings
and allow them to feel themselves
again masters Of the situation.
