A CHEERFUL HoME.-A single bitter
word may disquiet an entire family for a
whole day. One surly glance casts gloom
over the household, while smile, like q
CLEAN of sunshine, may light up the dark
est and weariest hours. Like unexpected
flowers which spring up along our path,
full of freshness, fragrance and beauty, so
do kind words and gentle acts and sweet
dispositions make glad the homo where
peace and blessing dwell. No matter how
humble the abode, if it be thus garnished
with grace and sweeteped with kindness
and smiles, the heart will turn lovingly to-
ward it from all the tumults Of the world,
and home, be it ever so homely, will be
the dearest spot beneath the circuit of the
sun.
And the Influences of home perpetuate
themselves. The gentle grace of the mo-
head is piliowed in the dust Of death and
the fatherly kindness finds it's echo in the
nobility and courtesy of sons who come to
wear his mantle and to fill his place; while,
ON the other hand, from an unhappy mis-
governed and disordered home go forth
persons who shall make other homes mis-
cradle, and perpetuate the sourness and
sadness, the contentious and strifes and
ratings which have made their own early
lives 80 wretched and distorted.
Toward the cheerful home the children
gather /" as clouds and as doves to their
WlndowS," while from the home which is
the abode of discomfort and strife and
trouble, they fly forth as vulturOs to rend
t6 cir prey.
The olasS of men that disturb and disor-
der and distress the world, are not those
born aud pHrtured amid the balIowed
Influences OF Christian homes bat rath-
or those whose carly life has been
Scene Of trouble and vsxation-who have
started wrong in the pilgrimage, ard whose
course is one of disaster to Themselves, and
trouble to those around them.-Friend's
IHteiigencer.

Projected Church Buildings in St. Louis.
CATHEDRAL GLIMPSES.

For decade or more of years ouI
Catholic citizens, lay and clerical, have
| been specializing upon grand cathedral
for our city. A Cathedral Board was in
corporated, lot was purchased or donated,
plans were submitted and every thing was
in readiness, except the money, to cause a
grand gothic temple to rise up toward the
| clouds upon Lucas Place. Many people
are ever ready to predict failure the mo-
ment positive evidence of progress is with
drawn from their eyes. Many of our Cath
oiic citizens have persuaded themselves
that we shall never have Cathedral. A
writer in one of our daily papers thanked
God that the day of the Cathedral builders
had gone by, never more to return. We
have little to say to convince this class of
people that cathedrals will continue to be
built as long as the Church has new sees to
| establish or old sees grow into such ex-
banded proportions as to require them we
will even not stop to assure them that a
Cathedral will at no distant day adorn this
great metropolis.
The plan originally adopted by the
Cathedral Board is being strictly persued,
and steps are being taken to insure it's
gradual execution. The lot on Lucas
Place upon which the new cathedral will
stand ia 407x135. On the northwest corner,
diagonally opposite from Uhrig's Cave,
will be built the Archbishop's residence.
On the southwest corner. fronting on
w
for the attending clergymen. Between the
Archbishop's residence and the Cathedral
proper there will be built chapel of the
dimensions, 50x1l5, in which Mass will be
celebrated on week days, and the greater
part of the parochial services held. East
of this chapel, on a lot 3OOxl55 will stand
the Cathedral. The Archbishop does not
propose the erection of an edifce which
may cope with the grand cathedrals of the
world he deems the time too early and
and the circumstances of our young city
inopportune for any such gigantic en-
deavor. The chapel will be erected during
the. coming sommer, as will also be the
priests heuse. 1t is to be called the chapel
of the Immaculate Conception and will be
in charge of Rev. P. F. O'Reilly, lately
pastor of the Immaculate Conception
church. The Cathedral, chapel, Arch
bishops residence and Priests house will
all be of stone and in strict gothic style of
architecture. The parish of which the new
chapel will be the nucleus has already been
defined, and will be one of the richest and
largest in the city, and the need of
church in that neighborhood has long been
felt and often expressed.-W atchman.

1t has been recently remarked, in CON
nection with the death of Thomas Barring
that the Barring family have owed their
great success to the habit of "sticking to-
gether." 1t nsed to be a saying among
shrewd old business men, that it was bet
ter to enter into partnership with almost
any one rather than with a relative. On
what mass of accumulated wisdom this die
tum was founded, we do not know, but
the facts under ordinary observation would
seem to indicate q very different conclu-
sion. There are the Rothschilds, whose
success has been largely based upon fami-
iy union the Earrings, already mentioned !;
the brothers Lawrence, lannon's merchants
of Boston, Brown Brothers, the well-known
bankers of New York the brothers Stuart,
the wealthy sugar-refiners the brothers
Chambers, publishers, at Edinburgh and
many others. In fact, if it were not that
the record of failures is inaccessible, we
should claim these citations to prove that
family connection in business almost gives
assurance ofsuccess. If the instances we
have quoted are not satisfactory to the
reader, he is at liberty to add another very
firm to the list-Cheery BILE

Dying Away by Protestant Philanthropy.

The Montreal True Witness quotes the
Washington Chronicle on the " decay o.
the Indians" The statements in the latter
journal are commented on by the Witness
Referring to them the latter says:
In this article, the fact is clearly brought
out that, in the United States, the native
race is fast disappearing:
"A correspondent of the Pacific Rural
Press lately visited the provisional reser-
walton on Solo Fork and Bitter Root river.
BY the treaty Of 1855 this reservation, at
the discretion of the President, may be
surveyed and mado permanent. The In
dams, having lived here long time, are
10th to give it up, though they promise
obedience to the behests of their great
white father. They now number but
thirty-four men, besides women and chill
dren. In 1855, when this treaty was made,
they numbered but one hundred and fifty
men. There has been no COLLATION. in the
last fifteen years between these Indians
and the white people to cause this enor-
nous decay Of their tribe, yet they now
number but little more than one fifth Of
their former strength. A similar decay 10
going on among tho Tribes c0lonised in the
Indian territory. Ten years ago they nuaa-
bered twenty-five thousand, to-day they
can muster scarcely fifteen thousand. Tho
Creeks have declined thirty -three per cent,
the Seminoles fifty per cent, the Choctaws,
and Chickasaw's each twenty. five per cent,
in ten years. In 1850 the Comanches were
a formidable tribe of tify thousand to-
day they present a wretched rosiduum of
not over ten Thousand. The Pawnees, so
formidable ia the middle of this century,
are nearly extinct. Of the twenty thousand
Crows and Blackfeet in 1850, but few
miserable beggars are lett"
Further on we are told that the
ravagss of war seem to be scarcely less ia
tai than the silent decay of peace :" that
90 the reservation system has failed to ar
rest the destruction of the red man :" that,
" Christianity seems to present no perma.
uent lease of the present." and the article
concludes with the following suggestive

Some Singular Escapes.

A year or TWO ago the Wfitef $1,000 "iei
others in q newspaper Office window ii
Nassau street. New York, when the atten
ton Of all was directed to D fat checked
little youngster leaning out OF the fiftf
story window Of q building opposite. II
was enjoying itself in that hilarious, child.
ish fashion so pleasant to SEQ. but which
| only added to the horror of the observers
"a they looked up and saw it utterly be-
yond their efforts to save it. They dared
not cry out for fear OF startling it, and
stood for some moments spell bound with
horror. Pretty soon q cry burst from the
whole party, as the little thing toppled
| over, and, losing its infsntile hold, turned
over and over in it's fearful fall. 1t de-
| scended past three stories and then struck
! an awning, where it bounded up two or
| three feet like piece of India rubber.
The stout canvas held firm, and, bellyipg
out, formed kind of pocket, in which
the child seemed to gather its scattered
senses for moment, and then, seem
ing to think it's dignity had been in
vaded, set up an angry cry. A lawyer in
the second story of the building crept
carefully out on the iron support Of the
awning and Selling it by one of its legs
drew it to him, and 80 rescued it compare
lively unharmed. About year ago, on
Thirteenth street and Avenue A, an older
sister was rolling an infant in it's little
carriage on the roof of q five story tene-
ment house. Unexpectedly she lost her
nOt0 OF Cne carriage tongue, anu IN announcer
instant it had rolled over the edge of the
roof. In falling, the wheels remained I'M
derneath and struck the pavement first.
The carriage was broken to fragrants, and
even the iron supporters of the move
able top were bent, but the little in
mate, enveloped in it's pillows and
shawis, was only stunned by it's
fall, and in few days was as we'll
as ever. Five or six days ago a young
woman domestic employed at Nine. De-
morest's, Broadway and Thirteenth street,
assembled to the roof to remove piece of
of the skylight. Trusting too much to the
strength of the frame work in which the !
panes of glass were set, she broke through |
them and was precipitated headlOng down |
through the skylight shaft, past two stories
and struck on the DINING room floor, e |
distance of forty-two feet. In what posi- |
ton she was when she struck the floors !
she of course does not know. Her friend,
hearing the sound of her fall, ran to the
dining room, and as the truth flashed
over their minds they were almost
palsied with alarm. They found her
lying on her back unconcious, and at
once removed her to q sofa, with no ex2ec-
tations that their exertions to restore
her to life would prove successful. She
soon recovered her senses, however, and is
now recovering. She thinks she must have
turned once or twice in her descent, but
her memory of what occurred after break
ing through the skylight is very much con-
fused. Notwithstanding the extreme
height from which she fell, not bone was
broken nor joint dislocated.-Ne,0 York
Post.

MIRACLES NECESSARY AS WE'LL AS REAL.
The following extract from an article in a
recent number of the Dublin ReUie,U goes
far to answer the skeptioism of modern
scientists on the subject Of miracles: at
is sought to set aside miracles by an appeal
to the mechanical laws of nature. But O
mechanical world would be the most i'm
perfect of all worlds, for it would be q
world without God. The world cannot
be compared in this regard to % machine !;
for man makes a machine in order to save
himself trouble, and q machine does not
want tho companionship of it's maker; but
God created the world TO manifest therein
His glory, and filled it with creatures who
need his presence. If man is correlated
with God-the material world, certainly, is
60 related with man in his dwelliuG-then
man and the world are not any more than
man himself is, apart from and independ-
ent of God. Then there is living relation
between the visible and the invisible, in
which it has its ground of being; and mi
racles, far from being unnatural, are
grounded on the organization of the uni
verse itself. The worlds course, therefore,
from the nature of the case, from a neces-
sity grounded in its relations to God, re-
quires miracles. Aud just in proportion
as it is carried away from its normal course
of action by sin, does the necessity for
miracles increase"
