Tho statement by Mr.. boouhor hus tho ap-

Sweden by Candle-Light.

The Swedish Summer is very short, and
the year has hardly any Spring or Autumn.
But the Summer days are very long, and
the sun after setting, sinks only q few
degrees under the horizon, filling the whole
space during night with a mystical lumin-
ousnesss, which makes even the pigsty
romantic. At midnight you can walk in
the garden and read n letter from your
mother. And how singular the letter is |!
Every word in it has new meaning, and
so has every object around you. The
street, the house, the old church, the river,
the hills all look SO strange, and yet they
all look as If you had never before under
stood their true shape and never before
understood their true meaning. The houses
do not press the ground with their weight
they float in the air like pictures. The
river does not push its waves forth through
a melancholy fall from one pebble to
another; it emily turns it's hands, rapidly
but gently to catch the image of the stars.
The trees do not suck and heave and toll
for bit of existence; no, they breathe,
they live. The Gathering and tie hammer
ing, and all the noises of the town, are
asleep. The splash of the water falling
down the cataract in the birch wood, is
transformed into sweet melody, whose
subdusd notes swing in the air, now sound
ing near to Sour ear and now echoing far
off. But this, as all individual sounds, the
chipping of the insects in the trees, the
sound of your step on the rocky path, the
cracking Of the paper in your hand, are
soon hushed by the deep stiffness which
from the terrace with the lonely lake and
the sombre pine forests draws nearer and
nearer till it covers all the world in silence.
Only one individual sound can be distin-
guished, one single drop of water falling
into silver basin, one single note struck
on the deepest string of an Instrument. It
is the echo of the fret cataract, hundred
miles distant, far off among the mountains.
Distance seems here merged into infinity
and time into eternity Exchange.
The morning star and Catholic messenger. [volume] (New Orleans [La.]) 1868-1881, 1874-06-14

The Richmond Wing thus elequently
portrays the evils of intoxication " If we
were called upon to advise the young men
of promise and ambition what path to
pursue in order to avoid the pitfalls that
have proven the destruction of SO many
thousands who have started upon the
voyage of life sanguine of future renown
and success, we should say avoid the wine
cup as your most deadly enemy tura from
any Intoxicating beverage aB you would

some and deadly disease that ever hurried
it's victim into eternity. We have said 'if'
we were called upon we take it back-we
attention to this, the greatest scourge Of
the age it is impoverishing the wealthy
and making beggars of the poor it is de-
throning intellects and sullying the reputa-
tions of men whose honor in moments of
sanity none woald dare impeach it is
those who have stood high in public es-
teen; it is filling our jails and penitentia-
ries with thieves and murderers it is peo-
ping Gods acres everywhere throughout
the land with those whom Holy Writ as
sures US never shall enter the Kingdom of
heaven; it is leaving countless thousands
of widows and orphans to mourn as those
untold misery entailed upon the human
family by this fiery draught, intanded only
to fit men for hell, can never be- estimated.
Strange is the infatuation that makes men
the slaves of such a master, the imps Of
such demon, and almost as strange that
our legislators, who grow hoarse in de-
nouncing Reputation aud in advocating
increased taxation upon land and the neces
saries of life, yet shrink back appalled, at
the bare idea of touching this petted child
of Satan. Strange, indeed it is passing

is too conscientious to be partial to any OF
her scholaIs."
"Blanchei is a story teller and despise
her =" broke from Elias lips.
"No, my child, you must not feel SO to
ward her." said Mrs Grsyson, remember
you say every day forgive us our tres
passes as we forgive them that trespass
against US : we must learn to forgive 9th
ers as we would wish our Heavenly Father
to forgive Us, aud remember, my child that
Blanche, perhaps, has never been taught
how wrong it is to despise the poor, and to
talk against our neighbors. You must try
to repress all angry feelings, and return
good for evil. May did very wrong to
listen to what was not intended for her
cara, and it was also wrong to repeat it to
you. You must tell her 30 to morrow,
and caution her to say no more about it,"
Ella dearly loved her mother and tried to
obey her. The next day she found it very
difficult not to say something disagreeabIe
to Blanche, but resolving to act in accord
dance with her mothers lessons, she con :
Quered herself SO far as to offer Blanche
her slate when she heard her remark that
hers had been forgotten at home. A few
weeks after she bore off the prize, much to
the envy of Blanche who had really tried
for the honor, but who was too proud to
acknowledge it, and concealed her yex-
alton under the mask of Indifference.
Concluded next week.
