1t was to declare the result of such an election
that the returning board met ut New Orleans in
1874. In expressing our dissent from the view
they took OF their Cwn powers and duties, AN |
our emphatic disapprobatiOn OF their proceed
Ings, we desire to state emphatically our un-
Willingness to do them any injustice, and our
full appreciation of all the considerations which
may tend to palllate their conduct.
Upon this statute we are all clearly OF the
opinion that the returning board has no right to
returns which are lawfully made to them by the
local officers. except in cases where they were
accompanied by the certificate OF the supervis-
or or commissioner provided in the third sec

The board took u different view of its powers,
and proceeded to throw out the votes from IAN :

persons whom on the returns should have been
declared elected, and to elect persons who should

THE STORY OF THE FAITHFUL SOUL.
BY MISS ADELAIDE PROCTOR.

BY MISS ADELAIDE PROCTOR.
The fettered Spirits linger
In purgatorial pain.
With penal fires effacing
Their last faint earthly stain,
Which Life's imperfect sorrow
Had tried to cleanse in vain.
Yet. on each feast of Mary
Their sorrows find release,
For the Great Archangei Michael
Comes down and bids it cease;
And the nsme of these brief respites
Is called :Our Lady's Peace
Yet Once-so runs the Legend
When the Archangel came,
And all these holy spirits
Rejoiced vt Mary's name.
One voice alone was waIling,
Still wailiDg on the same.
And though q great Te Deum
The happy echoes woke,
This one discordant wailing
Through the sweet voices broke:
So when St. Michael questioned,
Thus the poor spirit spOke:-
81 am not cold or thankless,
Although 1 still complain;
prize our Lady's blessing,
Although 1t comes in vain
To still my bitter anguish,
Or quench my censeless pain.
"On earth heart that loved me
Still lives and mourns me there,
And the shadow Of his anguish
Is more than can bear;
All the torment that suffer
Is the thought OF his despair.
"The evening of my bridal
Death took my Life away;
Not all Loves passionate pleading
Could gain an hours delay.
And he left has suffered
A whole year since that day.
eff could only see him.
i'll could only go
And speak one word of comfort
And sOlace, then l know
He would endure with patience,
And strive against his Woe
Thus the ArchsnRel answered.
"four time OF pain is brief,
And soon the peace of Heaven
Will give you tull relief;
Yet if his eai thly comfort
So much outweighs your grief.
''Then through special mercy
offer you this Erace,-
You may seek him who mOurns you,
And look upon his face.
And speak to him of comfort
For one short minutes space.
but when that time is ended,
Return here. and remain
A thousand years In torment,
A Thousand years in pain:
Thus dearly must you purchase
The comfort he will gain"
The Lime-trees' shade at evening
Is spreading broad and wide;
Beneath their fragrant arches.
Pace slowly, side by side,
In low and tender converse,
A Bridegroom and his Bride.
The night is calm and stilly,
No other sound is there
Except their happy voices:
What is that cold bleak AIR
That passes through the Lime-trees,
And stirs the Blidegroom's hair?
Like the last dying wall
OF some dumb, hunted creature,
Is borne upon the gale
Why does the Bridegroom shudder
And turn so deathly pale?
Near Purgatory's entrance
The radiant Angels wait;
1t was the great st. Michael
Who closed that gloomy gate.
When the poor wandering spirit
Came back to meet her late.
"Pass on, thus spoke the Angel:
Heavens joy is deep and vast;
Pass on. puss on, poor Spirit,
For Heaven ID You're at last;
In that one minutes anguish
Your thousand years have passed.
