SHAVING WITH CROSS.

as is well known, with the mark of y cross.
Such mark, however, can be easily initiated,

perhaps, a solution os the difficulty. 4
wealthy merchant in Chilli could not write, and
he signed with q cross. A bill upon him with
a forged cross, on being presented for payment,
was refused. A lawsuit ensued. The Judge
before whom the case was brought asked the
merchant how he could prove that the mark
was a forgery. In reply, he said the proof was
a secret which he would reveal to him pri-
vately. He then explained that in signing
with cross he drew the pen along the side of
his thumb, so that each limb of the cross was
the side of his thumb in profile. The proof
was deemed satisfactory. The holder of the
bill was non-suited.

that the Gospel which he had read detailed the
inciden OF tn last Interview between the Saviour
and his Apostles, he remarked that the Church
cOmmemOrated to-day the glorious ascension Of
Christ into Heaven. He then commented upon
the truths enunciated IN the Gospel, and said
that we were all only pilgrims here, vending our
way to Heaven. He alluded TO the pilgrimages
of old, and remarked that in all ages and
countries such pgrimages were common.
Americans made pilgrimages to the tomb
his honored remains, and carried away tUfgs
and flowers as mementOes Of the resting
place Of the greatest American that ever lived.
why, therefore. should not Catholics have their
pilgrimages? They were about to have a grand
