The writer of a paper called "a week
among the Maoris of Lake Taupo," in
the Cornhill Magazine for January, says
Arriving, We were transfxed with aston
ishment and amusement. The ground
was as hard as stone, covered with a
rock-like deposit of SILICA, which formed
a sort of platform. As if scooped out of
this, were three almost circular basins, of
twelve feet in diameter, and immeasur-
ably deep. The right and left pools
were nearly boiling-the center basin
just light for a dip. In this cauldron
were forty-eight persons 'hitched' round
the edges, shoulder to shoulder, and with
heads just out of the water, sporting in
the midst. We soon decided what to do,
and soon there were fifty persons instead
of forty-eight, smiling and laughing, and
shaking hands, or rubbing noses in the
water. They were all sorts and sizes,
and all en- costume d'drchdaoe. Some
were old, tatooed grandsires, some babies
hardly able to walk; there were fathers
of families and mothers of the same
young men and maidens, boys and girls
laughed together. The most perfect de-
SoAuiA auN PiOPiA0by was OOsSEIeu. Little
brown babies nestled in their fathers
arms, and the latter to amuse US pitched
the little things into the midst to show
how they could swim. They would sink
for a moment and then disclose q little
brown solemn face above the water, and
strike out for their fathers arms again.
shall never now believe that children
cannot learn to swim as soon as they can
walk, or before"

GOLDSMITH AT HoME.-In 1853, in a
garret in a miserable, tottering square,
which was approached by a flight Of
stone stairs suggestingly styled "Break-
neck steps," one might have found Oliver
Goldsmith tat home" This dirty room.
furnished with a mean bed and single
wooden chair, witnessed the misery Of
the would-be surgeons mate on the night
Of his rejection and saw him, thoughtless
of all but burning pity, go out, four days
later, to pawn the clothes he had got on
the booksellers security in order to help
his poor landlady, whose husband had
just been seized by bailiffs.
A lady, after hearing the poem of the
Traveller" read aloud, said that "she
would nevermore think Goldsmith ugly.n
The world has indorsed the utterance of
that lady. The coarse, blunt features
shine with beauty from within as we
close the pages of the Traveller" 1.-THE
Deserted Village, or the ''Vicar of Wake
field" We forget that the doctor de-
lighted to array himself in sky-blue and
bloom-colored coats, and to exhibit him
selfin the glittering crowds that thronged
the gardens at Vauxhall.
With hands full of unfinished work
Goldsmith lay down to die, and at last
the "spendthrift author" found in Heaven
that mercy which every human spirit
needs.

SHoRrNHss OF lrFR.-Pliny makes Z
striking computation IN regard to the
shortness Of life. We never recall Il with.
out being powerfully impressed by it,
truth. SConsider,p he says, 'sthe time
spent in sleep, and you wiu find that q
man actually lives only half his space.
The other half passes in a state resem-
bling death. You do not take into ac-
count the years of infancy, which are
destitute Of reason, nor the many diseases
and the many cares Of old age, those
penalties Of longevity. The senses grow
dull, the limbs are racked, the sight, the
hearing, the power Of walking, the teeth,
also, die before us; and yet ali this time
is reckoned in the period Of life.n
But, short as life is at the best, those
who complain of its breVity let itslide by
them without wishing TO sieze and make
the most of the golden moments. How
much time do we waste in indecision, in
vain regrets, delusive hopes and un-
grounded fears. What vast portion Of
our previous existence is wasted in mere
waitingl waiting for something that
seems necessary for our happiness, and
the want of which prevents US from en-
joying the present hour.

HOW TO CURE THE DISORDERS O
SOCIETY.

i From the address of the Holy Father to
the Spanish pilgrims, we take this extract
My children, it ia because of
the sins of the people. and perhaps of mine
also, that the baud of God still bears heavi-
| ~ upon our heads. In this case, let us re-
call the words of st. Peter of Acantara,
the golden words of this wonderful pepi
tent, who briefly tells US why order is not
yet established in society.
The reputation for sanctity of this great
servant of God attracted many people to
his cell, who came to ask his ad dvice, to re-
commend themselves to bis prayers and
with other laudable intentions. Among
| these there often came Spanish noblsm an.
VINO was always lamenting over the dis.
orders OF his times and wio blamed one au.
thority or another for not resortipg to the
means he thought proper for their sup
preston. The good servant of God list
ened again and again to the same com
plant; but at last he felt it his duty to
reply and To give him some sound advice.
Oae day st. Peter of A!cantara said to bis
visitor ~ have cast myself at the feet of
Jesus Christ, and have asked Him for
light, that might know what to do to fiud
the remedy, and to repair the evils you de-
ploIe AS far as am concerned, prom
lsed God to do all that lay in my power to
assist In obtaining the desired order, 1 am
Superior, and with the help of God, will
have all under my Jurisdiction conduct
themselves with perfect submission the
Novitiate shall be performed with the
greatest regularity, studies shall be pur-
sued with the greatest diligence, and regu-
lar oiscIplipe shall be most vigorously
observed. This done, Sir Marquis (this
was the title of his interlocutor), you see
that as far ae 1 am concerned, 1 have
order in Society. You are a |
husband, you have children, servants aud |
tenants. See to it then, with zeal, that all |
who depend upon you do their duty prompt
ly, and you will, as far as you are con-
cerned, also perform your duty because
it is too true that there are many who
complain of
THE DISORDERS OF SOCIETY,
but there are few, indeed, who apply
themselves to commencing the remedy in
their own households"
From this we see how each one should
DO all in his power to bring the erripg
back into the right path, and to CO operate
n Fastening the day of Divine mercies. 1t
8 true that the times are difficult, and it is
very true that the enemies of the Church
ire numerous and strong by the position
hey occupy, and by the means at their
command; but it is also true that the union
Ind concord of the large number of the
rood would be an immense obstacle to the
progress of the wicked, and would finally
onpel them to recoil.

remaining "a nothing is known. person is

to have drank since leaving the Home OF
these 271 who are regarded cured, 17s were

months; the average time of drinking to ex.
cess was six years and seven mouths; the
average daily quantity Of liquor used by each
person was one and half pInfs. The average
time of stay in the Home was seven and q half
weeks" DR.. Beard believes that third OF
those in all the American institutions who sub.
NIT to the rules are cured and he regards
alcoholic appetite as really disease. He
tells of superintendent of New England
asylum who, after a patient attains a proper
degree of improvement, gives him bottle of
it out and look at it as often as he wishes; but
not to drink it. This is, he thinks, a ength-
enipg exercise of the will.

Will the Eastern Question be ever finally set
at restf According to history it has formed 0
subject of discussion for over two hundred
years, and we seem to be as far from settle
ment oft as ever. Pepys, writing in his diary
as far back as October, 1863, remarks upon tho
vast amount of talk there was in his time about
the "Tnrkes proceedings," mentioning that
" the Turkes goes on mighty in the emperor's
dominions, and the princes cannot agree among
Themselves how to go against him." Well, here
we are 213 years afterwards, talking as much az
ever about the "Turke's proceedings," and
about the princes being as far from agreement
as ever " how to go against him." Shall we
ever hear the end of it7

Editor FreemRns Journals:
Dear Sr-Will you please inform me
snroogn the columns OF yonr paper-lst, What
Is Is recognized as marriage in the Catholic
ChurchY 2nd, Does the Church teach tha,
| Protestant marriage is void ia the sight of God
BY answering, you will obliHe
SUBSCRIBER
The inquiry, made in good faith, in
wolves Intricate qnestions of Moral Theo
logy.
lst. Marriage as Sacrament of the Ca
tholc CHURCH., can be contracted only be-
| tween man and woman, each baptised.
and, each, not rendered incapable Of con-
tracing matrimony. An apoetate priest,
for example, cannot contract marriage Ii
he takes woman, Il g Church calls her his
concubine, no matter what figure of mar
| riage may he performed.
2nd. "Protcstant marriage" is a vague
term. 1t 1t Is marriage of two unba ptised
persons, or OF person probably baptised
to Que not baptised, it is, in the eye of the
Catholic Church, the most solemn of
human contracts. It only Il human con
tract, but, az such, the Holy Roman
Church guards it ~Nh far stro0ger sanc-
tions than does any of the civil codes of
this age.
81. "ProtestaDt marriage" is either of the
baptlsed or of tue unbaptsed. II the par
ties are both baptiscd, and both free to
contract marriage at the time of their mar
rlage, the bond, in the doctrine of the
Catholic Church, is not only not void, but
not voidable. A divorce, a uinsulo, in such
case, granted by a civil court, is in the
Court of the Catholic Church null, and ut.
terly worthless, as authorizing either party
to marry again. But, outside of these
plain propositions, aud in face of the
tangled and odious practices prevalent in
the paganized communities of this
country, there arise 80 many thorny
questions that each case needs to be ex- |
amined according to it's own antecedentp, |
that are not always what they seem, at
first sight, to be. Rev. Father KoninRe, |
Z. SS. with the warm commendations |
of many Prelates, has written learnedly on |
this subject, especially as relating to cases |
occurring in this country, in his excellent |
of Moral Theology according |
to the Principles of st. Alphonsus, the la. |

Though all my soul was full Of fright,

A little skunk was standing by
And noted what the lion spoke;
And when he saw the lion die.
