FASHIONABLE AUsrERITIEs.-Mgr.I soard is
universally pronounced to be one Of the wittiesS
French writer's of he day. His works are nu-
merous and always full Of what is called in the
language which thoy adorn, esprit He is an
admirable satirest. Let us hear him lash the
frivolous woman of the world fashionable,
who pretends to piety "Lent," says he, sis
now only remipiscenoe. A few year. ago it
was reduced to half it's length-now it CON-
sists only of Good Friday. A painter of genre
pictures might make excellent capital out of
this subject. Here, for instance, is u pretty
little scene Dinner is served Ia an aristocratio
family of devout tendencies. Time, any FRIDAY

ones mouth water. It is quite Lenteu dish
coffee and the delicate maraschino which fol-
low it. Yet, observe, all is toned to 8 certain
fashionable devotional tint which plainly in
dictates this TO be penitentisl season. Here
is another Lenten subject for q picture.
Madame the baroness has bought new ball
dress but it is Passion Ssturdsy-she cannot
put it on because although invited to Jewish
ball she prefers hearing the Gospel according
to st. Matthew, the following morning early,
and besides Passion Saturday lie not fashion
able ball night. She therefore staye away
from the dance and goes instead to two con.

A lengthy pastoral from Cardinal Guibert
was read in all the churches Of Paris on the
10th of May, on the subject of the Easter Com
munion and, the Jubilee. His Eminence al
iudes to the notable increase, everywhere
visible, of men attending to their religious
outies' and draws from this gratifying fact the
most happy augury as to {" q veritsble revival
VI lalsh among us. Never within recollection"
'ne Archbishop says, "has such constant con-
course OF men of all ages, but chiefly heads of
FAMILIES been eeen within Paris churches as
'nis year. 1t can now be stated without any
eAaggeration," continues the Cardinal, " that
%man respect is losing it's empire, and that
.ehgious thoughts are little by little resuming
INC place which belongs to them in the mind

LETTER FROM SHREVEPORT, LA.

SHREVEPORT, La, June 6, 1875.
Editor Morning Star and Catholic Messenger:
Some little time has elapsed since any COM
munication passed between us; in the mean
while your interesting columns have reached us
regularly, and afforded pleasure. Everything
goes on we'll in this vicinity, under the bright
arch of peace and promise of prosperity.
Heavy rains lately give promise of the largest
icrops ever known. Ohly one difficulty seems
10 rise in the future harvest, which is the lack
of labor.
Our little church here is under the care of
Rev. Father Gentille and if the interior voice
i of every Catholic heart was known, it would
e-echo from each, MAY he long be spared to
u.s." Already, aided by the congregation, he
has greatly improved the church property and
usefully ornamented it.
The month of May has closed, during which
time services were, as usual, well attended.
Here in our parish and city of Shreveport we
shall soon have our Jubilee. Our pastor in
tends to have the Missionary Fathers at the
same time. This will be double blessing, to
which all look forward with joy.
Business is dull; the river is low and falling,
so that navigation will coon. necessarily, run
with sts tide. There is, however, from time to
time, lively business over the Texas Pacific
Railroad, from st. Louis and Texas to this
city. So far, Shreveport is healthy, and every
precaution is being taken to keep all in order.
FIDEs.

Editor Morning Star:
The Sunday within the Octave of Corpus
Christi will be q memorable day for the Cath
olics of the town of Macon and the vicinity of
Noxubee. Our Right Rev. Bishop Elder, of
Natohez, was here and, assisted by the Very
Rev. J. B. Mouton. dedicated our new church
under the name of Corpus Christi. The Bishop
said Mass at z o'clock A. II. and preached at the
10 O'Clock Mass, and delivered lecture ct S
p. M. On the Sunday before, the Bishop dedi-
Gated q new church at Corinth, under the name
and patronage of st. John the Baptist.
Father Mouton has, by his re 81 and energy,
we'll earned the name Of the Church Builder,
as he has, during and since the war, built six
or seven churches, on and near the line of the
NJ. o R. r., with the exception of one, which
he bought from the sectarians. They are al!
handsomely built in Catholic church style, as
he adds to his other accomplishments o praoti-
cal knowledge of architecture. Some of tt o
private buildings of the town show that he hs q
created a taste for fine buildings, as the owners
got his kind assistance in drawing their plans.

ENTERPRISE, June 2, 1875.
Editor Morning Star;
On the 3lst ult. our little congregation was
made happy by q visit from our good Bishop,
Right Rev. w. H. Elder, who is on visitation
through his diocese, dedicating churches and
administering the Sacrament of Confirmation
to all those who are prepared to receive it. He
lectured in the evening of that day, in the
Catholic church, to an appreciatiye audie CO,
which be held spellbound by the force of his
eloquence for nearly an hour and q half. His
style was plain, easy, logical and full of happy
SMILES. He threw an occasional broadside of
burning words into the sectaran ranks, which
made them squrm under the weight of his
forcible arguments. The subject of his dis
course was the "Sacraments of Baptism and
Penance." He prefaced his lecture by stating
that if a man wanted information in regard to
the American people, their man ners, habits or
customs, he could not get the desired knowl-
edge by asking it of Chnaman. He said it
was the same in regard to the Catholic Church.
If a man wants any Information concerning
that fold, he must consult the Church, or those
duly commissioned to teach the truths intrust-
ed to her care by her divine Spouse, Jesus
Christ.
[Our correspondent here gives an excellent
synopsis of the lecture, which we regret the
lack of space prevents as from publishing.l
It would be useless for me to attempt to fol-
low him through his learned discourse. Suffice
it to say, that all parties were we'll pleased.
Rev. Fathers vally, Mouton and Viguie were
in attendance throughout the services. C.

FEAST OF THE SACRED HEART.
OF all tho sacred feasts that deck
The crow Met Of the year.
Nethinks the feast of Jesus Heart
To man should be most dear.
That Sacred Heart that loved him much,
That Heart which for him sighed,
That Heart which gave its LIES last blood
Upon the cross. and died.
That Sacred Heart We oft outrage.
We insult. mock, abuse,
And pierce It deeper with sins lance
Than did the murdrous Jews
That Sacred Heart to sinners speaks,
They list not to Its voice.
And between that Heart and sin
The latter is their choice.
But Christians, lovers Of your God.
These precious accents hear
oh cease ye contrte ones, awhile,
And lend list ming earl
" Oh come to me, poor saddened hearts,
With weighty woes oppressed;
Oh come to me, afflicted ones.
And will give you rest"

Lees Sweetest Word.

Some say tia. hopes the sweetcst word
That human life does e'er afford;
Its iris arches span the gloom
All long ltc's journey to the tomb.
Some gay TINT home hath greater charm,
With radiant faces and lovclight warm,
OF all earth's spots the one most blest,
Where weary wanderers welcome rest.
Some deem that mother is the word
Lite's tend'rest passions their hearts have
stirred;
Whose loving prayers never cease
Till her dear hands are crossed in peace
Some hold that peace, the heauteous song
That angles sting t. the Shepherd thfong
Can best the storm tost passions cal..>
And ease ltt's wounds with healing balm
Others say that heavens the sweetest,
Dearest, trucst, best, c,mpletcst,
Whose God.lit domos and shining towers,
S,rew ltc's highway With shining flowers.
E'o me the word that charms the most,
Waen friends and treasures MI are lost,
Is Tssus, on the rough, dark sea,
StilHsg lile's waves Of Galilec.

False Prayer.

There is good deal Of this pray
ing which is not a prayer at all, Men
piously ask of the Lord to undertake
works by the score which they are
too lazy or too penurious to 40 for
themselves. Prayer becomes cloak
Of lazicess and piety a mask for
avarice. In this point Of view, mis-.
meetings are often the sadiest
places thoughtful man can sit for
an hours meditation. He finds him
self often wondering in them-not
that the heathen are not converted
but that there are any Christians left.
Men meet, and pray, and exhort, and
turn the whole business over into the
Lords hands with an air Of pious
resignation, contributing a dollar or
two as they leave it, as their share
toward tho enterprise.
