swelling of the fore or hind legs, as well as

James the Second

70 has frequently occurred to us that there
fSAo character in either ancient modern
history 80 worthy Of being held up as a model
10 Abe youth of our day, as that of the noble
Rnakted, yet most unfortunate sailor king,
"a es the Second, of England. Had he lived
q nte-Shakesperian times, that poets pen
l.&Rfould have given us hero far loftier in his
&Ectives and far nobler in his aims than any
ne of those whose name his genius has i'm
$4ortalized. But like his illustrious ancestress,
ary, Queen of Scots, James the Second has
een the sport of calumny and the victim of
&ersecution for nearly two centuries, while the
bal beauty of his character has yet to be re-
zealed to the gaze of posterity. We need the
ZEN of q Meline to refute the falsehoods with
sehich history has blaclzened both his motives
md his deeds but we, at least, can show that
nc only crime nay the only fault recorded
.xainst his memory is, that he labored to alb
s5sgate the penal lars and at the same time pro-
osnimed liberty Of conscience throughout his
realms.
Looking in the American Cyclopedia we read
tfiese words written in that vindictive and
sntruthful spirit which has ever pursued this
Snfortunate King, because of his heroic attach
emit to his faith

effect two ends, viz: the overthrow of the
Constitutional system of England, and the res
bration of the Catholic religion" His crime
Eainst the constitution was that he sent the
austrious philosopher, William Penn, to the
burt of the Prince of Orange for the purpose
g pereuading that monarch to consent to the
bolition of the penal laws But this hero of
rotestant history had little taste for "peace
sd good will " when their absence could help
kiEn to throne; aud therefore refused to con-
sat to the removal of any statute that was
2kE formally repealed by Parliament.
De James noble and enlightened views We
judge by this extract from his speech in
Ccnncil: at having" he said, always been
his opinion, as most suitable to the principles
81 Christianity, that no man should be perse-
suted for conscience sake, which he thought
yas not to be forced, and that it never could
Be to the interest of king of England to do
h."
In regard to restoring the Catholic religion,
he did but practice openly those ceremonies OF
his Church, which it would have beeen unbe-
coming his dignity as a king, and his honor
rs man, any longer to practice in secret.
Unfortunately for him, however, he was too
true Christian for the times in which he

HARD TIMEs.-Here are few of the many
causes somebody assigns for hard times
such as we are now experiencing:
l. Too many spend money and too few earn
it.
2. Too much money is spent wastefully and
uselessly, and too little saved and made pro-
ductive and accumuiative.
3. We buy too much abroad that we ought
to produce at home.
4. We buy too much that we do not pay for
cash down-too much of what we buy being
what we do not actually need.
5. We are too wasteful, know too little how
to ecouomiEe, and have too little disposition to
do 80.
6. We are too speculative, INSCRIPTIONS and
actually dishonest in our Efforts to make
money.
Z. Too many of us prefer idleness to indus
try, and too few of us know how to work and
derive pleasure and profit from our labor.

ledge the youthful prince as King of
England, and by the grace of God, would
seat him on his throne. Yet with this
bright hope before his eyes, the dying king
warns his son, to place that envied
crown, his by every right, in competition with
his souls salvation.
Side by side with these his last words on
Earth, should be recorded his last words in
England, when he had fully determined not to
plunge that nation into civil war; but to
withdraw into France until such time as his
people, as he said, should return to their
senses
az appeal" he said. "to all who are consd
ering men, aud have had experience, whether
anything can make this nation so great and
fourishing as liberty of conscience"
Henry of Navarro, ancestor of our James,
easily quilted Protest utsm for the true Faith,
because most eNpedient for his in terests saying
only, "The crown of Franco is surely worth IL
Mass 7" But the poor, prosecuted James was
made of sterner, better stuff than the gallant,
white plumed hero-and valued his conscience
far above country, riches, friends, or throne. =
Since that day, no Catholic blood has
cended the throne of England; in all proba-
blity, none ever will for many years to come ;
for if Victoria should, even now, conscientiously
embrace the creed of Rome, her expectant heir
could discrown his mother, seize tho throne,
and according to the laws of the realm, reign
in her place instead. And yet there are some
so dull as to think that James was the sinner
and that England was the Saint. When will
that same boastful land adopt the noble motto
Of this heroic king and not persec.te any man for
eomscience's sake Youth of America, learn from
this princely and almost perfect example, to
value your Faith above the glories even of q
Kingdom.

To the Editor OF the MORNING STAR:
In New York city the question is being ag-
tated whether tits not better to forego this
year the customary parade in honor of st.
Patrick. Cause.-The prevailing restitution on
account of the lack of employment among the
working people. IT'S further urged that if
there is money to be laid out, it had better be
spent on work of charity than in vain
display.
Here, in New Orleans, may not like causes
give rise to like effects. Here there is scarcity
of work and consequent suffering. Many of
the very men that have to stand their pro rats
of the expenses of the day unemployed
and pinched for the necessaries of life. There
fore, let us have no public parade, no balls, nor
other profitless outlay at the expense of the
poor on ST. Patrick's Day.
The expense of a parade could not fall short
of three thousand dollars. If this money be
on hand it can be used to better purpose. If
not on hand, it were cruel to put impoverished
patriotism to the test of procuring it for the
qualification of an idea.
