taking some action in regard to sup

resolved to Immediately furnish the

How SAINTS ARE MADE.-A correspondent,
last week, gave highly interesting explanation
of Easter, making the subject as clear as poke
berry juice. That question being settled, do any
of our readers know how certain days belong to
particular Saintsi-St. Valentine, for instance,
or st. Patrick, or st. John. No doubt the gener-
al impression is, that the Saint was either born
or died on that day. Such is not the case.
When man dies who is thought worthy to be
canonized, and is finally exalted into a Saint
which is sometimes not till hundreds of years af-
ter his death-the Pope sets apart n day i'm the
calendar,to him, and that becomes his day. As
the Saints are becoming numerous, it requires
some care, SO that the same dayis not awarded tn
two Saints The reader has probably gone to a
popular hotel, on some crowded occasion, aud
asked for a room He has seen the clerk careful
ly look over large card, on which ths rooms are
marked, and examine little slips of white paper
stack over it, showing which rooms are occupied,
which vacant, and when others will be vacant.
The Pope, We suppose, keeps just such chart,
SO that when the next Saint registers his name,
he can know what days are vacant. The ones
that come last, will not have much choice OF
rooms. And it is by such contemptible mummery
as this that holy days are created.
