literature, being one of the most ably edited
and highly Intellectual magazines we have.
We have seen scarcely anything in it's pages
that is insignificant or that q priest would
not find advantageous to read. Its fiction
is of tine quality it's sketches of travel or
of character are graphic and valuable /; it's
poetry never trivial and often of re mark u BILE
beauty and Importance. DIR. Parsons has
made it the medium of much of his noble
translstions of Dante, and it has published
some of the best poems OF Aubrey de We're,
and occasional sonnets, by whose hands We
know not, that are among the finest in the
language. 1t has not the excessive pug
nacIty ard dogmatism that were, perhaps,
principal causes in the i'll success of Brotrn
sons Repie~, which died shortly before its
founder. Certainly if Catholics cannot
properly sustain the Catholic World, they
confess themselves laggards in intellectual
civilization. That is the conclusion forced
upon US, looking, without the least religious
bias, from literary standpoint. 1t this
contirms the prevalent Protestant opinion
of that Church, Its priests and it's members
must recogniz that they have furnished the
grounds iorirs condemnation"
The morning star and Catholic messenger. [volume] (New Orleans [La.]) 1868-1881, 1877-01-21

There are many things says the Ca
tholic. ReUje,c, "in which some Catholics
take cheap pride. They are glad to have
fine church they point with pride to
their St. Vincent de Paul societies; they are
quite exultaut when passing the cathedral
of New York they are we'll pleased that
among the vigorOuspapers in the land are
some which bear the Catholic name. But
this pride is very cheap indeed. They
have done little or nothing to make it pos
sible on any ones part or reasonable on
theirs. The cathedral might have rested in
it's primeval quarry, the paper might have
rested in a rag store almost as primeval,
and the Vincent de Paul men, with their
sick and poor, might have gone to the
wOrkhOuse for all they did or would do
Perhaps if some of them shall see the fol-
lowing reprcach from New England Pro-
testant paper, the Springfield, Mass, Re
publican, they may feel little ashamed
that they have done nothing for one work
which has done very much in enabling them
to feel decent among Protestants who ap
precate intellectual works"
"Father Hecker, founder and editor of
the Catholic World, has issued another of
his circulars to the clergy of his Church,
urging upon them the necessity of more
generous support. The magazine is in ser
ious financial straits, and needs help. 1t
ought to get it; it is an even question wheth-
er it will or not. a priest writing about it in
the Pilot, thinks the World fails from it's
attempt to serve both the clergy and the
laity, in which effort it losses both. 1t has,
this priest thinks, just enough heavy phil
osophical and ecclesiastical writing to
repeI the laymen, and too much light lite
nature to suit the priesthood. We cannot,
of course, tell what the Roman Catholic |
priest wants in periodical, but it is entire |
" within our province to cay that if the |
Catholic Church does not contain reading |
public adequate to the support of such a |
magazine as the Catholic World, the fact is /
any thing but creditable to the Church This
periodical takes high rank in American |

1t is unpleasant to learn that our jewelry
stores, both high and low, have sold more
baby jewelry during the recent holidays
than ever before. If our chief men and
women were persons of taste and culture,
they might have corrected by their example
the shoddy tendencies of the shoddy rich !;
but, as it is, they were the first to encourage
bad TASTE The w ashington Erening Star
describes, in the following terms, little Julia
Grant as she appeared at her grandfather's
New Years reception:
This young lady, aged six this. receiv ed
in her nurse 8 arms and was not at all discon-
certed by the flattering attentions showered
upon her. She wore dainty robe of white
French lawn, with narrow strips of insertion
showing its pattern over pale blue silk. The
robe was high in the throat, and fastened do wn
the back with bows of blue ribbon. A gold
necklace clssped about her throat, and
dainty gold bracelets, with tiny blue turq uoise
hearts pen dent, were worn over the long sleeve
at the wrists. Upon enc of the dimpled fingers
sparkled a solitaire diamond ring, guarded by
ore set with turquoise.
Is not this foolish, idiotic, and vulgar
enough Must not the foreign DIP lomatists
present at the reception have laughed at
such display7 Yet our { fl Gals and their
wives who cav the innocent little creature
dressed up in this ridiculous manner, will
probably copy the model, carry it TO their
respective homes, and thus siren CITIZEN still
more this absurd fashion.

SOMETHING ABOUT THE Sun The fact is.
that the sun is nearly million and half
times as large our world, ard more than
Il, 600, 600 miles away. Bat don't think you
will get any idea of this distance from tb e
numbers. No one can. When wise men begin
writing about the sun, they keep putting do wn
numbers with long rows of thoughts after them
to show how many millions they mean; but
they are as far from being able to imagine the
distance in their mind as we are. Here is one
way of thinking of it, Suppose train, going
at express speed, fifty miles an hour, were to
start from the earth, and go up, mp, up to the

ing through the air without stopping for a
single moment, do you know how long IL would
be before it reached the sum- More than two
hundred years! Is it any wonder that at such
distance, it looks smaller than the world
Now we shall finish with q story, to
show you what false ideas, and what funny
ideas. too, people take into their heads when
they are lett to guess about the sun and the
stars, and have no guide but pair of eyes.
There are savage tribes that think there is q
new sun every Gay and there are some negroes
that believe less sensible things than that.
There was an African negro who was once
asked by traveller what he thought of the
sun. He believed the world was Fat. "The
sun I" said ne. cit comes up in the morning
over there, and goes down in the evening over
there, and the next morning it comes up at this
side again." "Does it3" said the traveller
" how does it 60 across, then I" The negro was
puzzled, but at last q bright idea struck him

The analogy that really exists between
sound and color is, that both are the products
of vibrations which the brain, in accordance
WITH their velocity, translates into one or the
other impression. Viewing the physical
characteristics, We may proceed step further,
and ad nit that there exist harmonies and dis
cords between colors, as between sounds; and
in this respect q finely painted picture may be
as gratifying as finely written musical COM
position. Still further, we may concede that
there is such q thing as sound painting but
here the analogy grows weak, for trained
perception is needed TO intercept the meaning
Of sounds which express ideas. Still, it is,
and always has been, a motive of composers to
make music present pictures or thoughts to
the minds eye, as clearly as apatnting conveys
ideas to the physical senses. But the COM
posers motive merely offers the bare idea
in DO instance can it be urged that any must
cal writer ever wrote note to express the
sensation of blue or green although to
listen to early pastoral music lie to have the
idea of blue sky and green fields brought ups

title above given, where il excited great
deal OF comment. Among many interesting
accounts Of the manners aud morals Of that
period, we extract the following:
SOME OF THE BLUE LAWS.
mo food or lodging shall be afforded lo

"lf any person turns Quaker, he shall be
banished, and not suffered to return but
upon pain Of death.
No priest shall abide in the dominion
he shall lie banished, and suffer death on
his return. Priests may be seized by any
one without a warrant.
"No one shall read common prayer. keep

dance, play cards, or play on any instru-
ment Of music except the drum, trumpe,
and jewsllarp.

reverently to and from meeting
"No one shall travel, cook victuals, make
beds, sweep house, cut hair, or shave, on the

her parents, 81 penalty for the first offence

ORIGIN OF THE NAME OF PUMPKIN

"Newhaven now New Haven) ia cele
brated for having given the name of pump

originated from the blue laws which en-
joined every male to have his hair Gu
round by cap. When caps were not TO b,
had they substituted the hard shell of ;
pumpkin, which being put on the hea,
every Saturday, the hair is cut by the shcl
all round the head. Whatever religion
virtue is supposed to be derived from ,hi
custom, l know not hut there ia much prl
dence in it: first, it prevents the hair from
snarling; secondly, it saves the use @
