A Truthful Sketch.

Let man fail in business, what an
effect it has On his former creditors
Men who have taken him by the arm,
laughed and chatted with him by the
hour, shrug their shoulders and pass on
with a cold show do you do ?" Every
trife of a bill is hunted up and present.
ed that would not have seen the light
for months to come, but for the misfor-
tunes of the debtor. If it is paid, well
and good; if not the scowl of the sheriff
perhaps, meets him at the corner. A
man that has never failed knows but
little of human nature.
In prosperity he sails along gently,
waited by favoring smiles and kind
words from everybody. He prides
himself on his name and spotless char
acter, and makes his boast that he has
not an enemy in the world. Alas +! the
change. He looks at the world in a
different light when reverses come
upon him. He hardly knows how to
move, Or to do this thing or the other;
there are spies about him, q writ is
ready at his back. To know what kind
of stuff the world is made of, a person
must be unfortunate and stop paying
once IN his lifetime. If he has kind
friends, then they are made manifest.
AZ failure is q moral seive, it brings out
the wheat and shows the chaff. A man
thus learns that the words and pretend
ed good will are not and do not consti-
tute real friendship.

A Mysterious Pit.

Nearly fourteen miles on almost a
direct line southwest from Bowling
Green, KY, there is a singular and
mysterious pit in the ground. It is
situated on high bluff in wild, hintly
locality, tangled with vines, brambles,
briers, bushes, trees and shrubbery on
the waters of Brakes Greek, below the
mouth of Tammol. The aperture
is dark, gaping hole, cleft through
the stony crags, as though the bluff had
at some time cracked and split. The
opening is ten feet long and four feet
wide atthe widest part, its rocky, yawn-
ing lips being spread something in the
shape of a horse-collar, the apex, SO to
speak, pointing westward. By some of
the people in that region it is known as
"HeIl Hole" while others call it elm
dian Pit"
One remarkable feature of this
abyss is that there issues from it's
depths, ceaseless as the rounds of the
seasons, a volume of misty vapor,
which, especially on crisp, frosty
mornings, can be seen ascending above
the tree tops and floating off on the air,
whitened with rays of the rising sun.

roundness, are scattered profusely all
ABOUT the place, as though thrown high
by some unknown upheaval and show
cred back like rattling hailstones of all
sizes and dimensions. In the fall and
winter this fog volume is warmer than
the cutting blasts that sweep along the
deep gorge. In summer the mist is
cooler and not so dense. The pit
wldens from the top in its downward
course, and woe be to any living thing
OF once swallowed through its dark mouth.
Throw boulder or stone into it and
not the faintest echo ever reaches the
ear as to whittier it went. Some sea-
sons since a party of persons assembled
at the pit, determined to fathom its
hidden bottom. They were provided
with strong cord over six hundred feet
long, to which was attached steelyard
weight: They dropped the weight into
the hole and laid out the line. Down,
down, and down went the weight till
not q foot of cord was left, while not a
sound came to tell the tale of its SUBJ
teranean passage. No bottom was
reached, and the weight was withdrawn
damp and unsoiled, as though it touch
ed nothing but darkness on it's sound
lngs.

The fftieth anniversary of the ele.

which occurs on the 21st of May next
will be commemorated on that day in
Rome In an unusually imposing man.

Holy Father on that occasion the
united offerings Of the faithful through.
out the world as a tribute unchange
able affection and devotion, and in
order, also, to relieve the wants OF
those who are suffering poverty fo1
conscience sake, Mrs. Gen. Sherman
having consented to cooperate with a
committee of European ladies, has
made an appeal (approved by the hier.
archy) to American Catholics to assist
In the work. Collections have already
been taken up in this city and in one
church (St. Andrews, Duane street, the
sum of 81 900 has been contributed by
the congregation.
There will be great procession of
pilgrims from all points of Christen.
dom to the Eternal City to participate
IN the anniversary of the Pope's golden
wedding; and though no organized
movement has yet been made by
American Catholics to swell the throng
1t Is understood that many members OF
the Church are making preparations tc
visit Italy for the purpose. A number
OF Canadian Catholics will leave Mon.
treal IN body, en- route for Rome, in
the middle of April. On their arrival
in this city, they will be received by
representatives of the Catholic Union
Of st. Michaers Society and of the
st. Vincent de Paul. The members
will remain together until they obtain
an audience with and the benediction
of Plus TX. The party will consist OF
iOO persons, each of whom will contrib.
ute $500 to meet expenses.
The Canadians expect to be joined in
this city by several Am orleans; and al
others speaking the English language
who share in the pious and loyal senti-
ments they entertain will be welcomed
to accompany them. The celebration
on the coming 21st of May is designed
to be continuation of the many pre-
vious personal jubilees that have been
vouchsafed to honor the Pontif during
the extraordinary long life and reign.
Under the direction of Mrs. Gen
Sherman, the movement in this coun.
try is assuming great magnitude. The
lady is constantly receiving letters ask
ing for information relative to the gold
en- wedding. The idea, it appears, is q
very pleasing one to the enlightened
Protestant as we'll as Catholic American
and Mrs. Sherman has received many
valuable offerings from the former tC
