TAKING THE VEIL.
in Poriland-A Most Solemn and Em-
pressivc Service.

Saturday morning representative of this
paper witnessed the ceremony of Profession"
or taking the black veir' as it called, in this
city. On this occasion three young ladies,
Miss Stapleton, Miss Donahue, and another
whose name was not learned, renowned the
world and joined the Sisters of Mercy. Mount
St Mary's Convent at Manchester, N. H., is
the headquarters for the Sisters of Mercy in
this Diocese, and at this place the ceremony
has formerly been performed, but..as the Bishop
was stationed in this city and the candidates
were residents here, it was decided to have the
ceremony performed here. If the fact that
the ceremony was to take place had been gen.
orally known, large number would have been
present, as there is much curiosity to witness
such a service
The ceremony took place at 81. Elizabeth
Convent on Free street. But few persons were
present, only those invited being admitted. At
eight oclock, the Right Rev. Bishop Healy,
accompanied by Rev. Fathers Bradley and
Wallace and four acolytes, proceeded to the al
tar, and the impressive ceremony of the Pro-
fession commenced AS soon as the Bishop
had taken his seat the candidates presented
ohchiocifeS anu eApreSScu buelr ueSlro 10 Dc au-
mitted to the Holy Profession. The mass was
then celebrated. After the completion of the
mass the candidates made their VOWS in the
presence of the Blessed Sacrament held before
them by the Bishop. By this, these persons
bind themselves to observe the three vows of
poverty, charity and obedience. The Bishop de-
livered very able exhortation to the cand-
dates upon their new duties. AT the con ,lus-
ion of the mass the Protested received the ring
and veil. The ceremony closed with solemn
TIE Deum. The Protested took the names in
religion of Sister Mary Alacoque, Sister Mary
Adarlade aud Sister Mary Antonio. Mother
Superior Xavier of Mount St. Mary's Convent,
was present, as we'll as Sister Superior Ursula
and the other sisters who reside in this CITY, one
of whom presided at the organ.
There is to be another Profession at the same
Convent in short time.

SCHENCK's PULMONIC SYRUP, SEA WEED Tonic.
| AND MANDRAKE PILLs-These deservedly cele-
brated and popular medicines have effected revo-
luton in the healing art, and proved the faacy of
several maxims which have for many years obstruct-
ed the progress efmedical science. The false suppo-
sition that Consumption is ncurabe deferred ply
sicians from attempting to find remedies for that dis
ease and patients afflicted with it reconced them
selves to death without making effort to escape
from doom which they supposed to be unavoidable.
1t IS now proved, however, that Consumption be
cured, and that it has been cured in very great
number of cases some of them apparently desperate
ones) by Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup alone; and in
other cases by the same medicine in connection with
Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic and Mandrake Pills, one
or both, according to the requirements of the
DIR. Schenck himself, who enjoyed uninterrupted
good health for more than forty years. supposed
at one time, to be at the very gate of DEATH his ply
sicians having pronounced his case hopeless, and
abandoned him to his fate. He was cured by the
aforesaid medicines and, since his recovery, many
thousands similarly affected have used DR.. Schencks
preparations with the same remarkable success.
Full directions accompany each, making it not alb
solutely necessary to personally see Dr. Schenck I'M
less patients wish their lungs examined and for this
purpose he is professionally at his principal Office,
Corner Sixth and Arch Sts, Philadelphia, every
Monday, where all letters for advice must be adj
dressed. Sehenck's medicines are sold by all drug
gists.
