The WEIGHT of Sin.

Father Desmond cleared his voice, took a
sip of toddy, and began in a dry, solemn
way: "A friend of bis, a priest, was hear
ing confession one Saturday, and boy
came to him and said he had rale bad Elm
in bis mind. We'll, me good boy, come on
wild it, said his reverence; sure we must all
be forgiven; so what is it nowl' 'Augh, den,
your riveren l do be always sayin', BE
the Holy Father You do!-that's very
bad, me boy. Now, how often do you be
sayln' thatl Do you sag it twice a day.!
oh! begor. an do, an more, your river
ence' DO you say it twenty times a
day, me good boyl 'Augh, begor, an do,
an more than forty times day, your river
ence.' This is very bad, indeed, me good
boy. Go home, now,' said the priest, and
get your sister to make you bag and hang
it round your neck, and every time you say
Be the Holy Father, drop little stone in
it, and come to me this day week. Well,
that day week his reverence was hearin',
rs usual, in his box, and he heard an awful
noise in the church, go he looked out nv the
dure, and what does he see but his penitent,
an he draggin' sack up the body OF the
church. .Tady Mulloy,' says he, what do
you mane BY such conduck as that in the

fellow, dose is all Be de Holy Fathers, an

The Democrat press is very much disturb
ed about the march Of the government to-
wards monarchy. The only remedy they
see is to place it under the control of the
Democratic party. Well, if we had to choose,
we think we would prefer Monarchy to An
archy, and this latter would certainly be the
condition If the Democrats should succeed.
But we are inclined to the conclusion that
the party that saved the Union, is as capa-
bic of preserving the system upon which it is
based, as the party that tried to destroy it.
