Do not trust to general good intentions. Be definite. Begin right. Keep the fast so heartily that it will turn into feast as it goes on. The country is disturbed. Can you not find some peace at the altars of your faith, ard create it in your own houses Social customs are too eager. over.heatel, artificial, .xtravagant. Here is ready and divine restraint. Drunken neas and lust are in all the streets. Here is
 a solemn argument from the Maker of the body for temperance and purity. The land is pinched with poverty. Be voluntarily poor in spirit and rich in trust. and so su. perior to all inequalities of fortune and changes in the market. The destitute are at your doors. Understand them, go out after them, take trouble to know their ac' tual needs and dangers, discriminate be- tween easy giving and disagreeable pains taking, and practise Lenten patience and sacrifice as Lenten piety. There is a DO ltical confusion, and the sky is not clear. Raise your thoughts to heaven in reveren, adoration, day by day, to Him whose move ments are along the pathways of everlast' ing order, and who out of darkness made light spring. And 80 dwell, even here, in the kingdom and city of God.-Bishoa

THE FATAL ANN1vERsARY.-The first stirrings of preparation are being made in this country for the celebration of the Golden Jubilee" of Pope Plus the Ninth. Cardinal McCloskey has issued 8 circular asking Catholics to unite in a money con- trlbution to be presented to the Pope on the Fist of May, the anniversary of his con- secration as Archbishop of Spoleto, and preparations are being made for the depar- ture of the pilgrims to be present Tn Rome on that day, one under charge of the St. Francis Xavier Union of New York, and the other 10 include Canadian Catholics, and to start from Montreal. Both bodies it is understood, will meet at the sacred shrine of Lourdes before going to Rome. Should the venerable Pope live until thai date, the festival will undoubtedly be more extensively celebrated in this coun- ty than any since the settlement of Amer ica, while the bodies of pilgrims will be the hrst of any considerable number that have crossed the Atlantic to Rome. The Pope is eighty five years of age, and the condi ton of his health is such as to leave the consummatlon of the jubilee question of great doubt.

The Coming New York East COnTer-
 eMCes

The Coming New York East Confer
 The twenty annual session of the
 New York East Methodist Conference will
 be held at Hartford Conn.,, on the 4th of April Bishop Peck will preside. and over three hundred delegates will be in attend. ance. The occasion will therefore be one of great interest to the clergy and laitv of the Methodist denomination ln these parts.
 At these representative assemblages of the most influential religious organization in this country the work of the year is care fully reviewed and statements received, touching the numerical and financial stand ing of each church in the conference, and reports received from missionary and other societies. The closing act of each confer ence, however, is by far the most impor- tant and interesting to the whole body of the clergy and laity, for it is not until few moments before the adjournment that the presiding Bishop makes the announcement of the appointments of the dominies to the various fields of ministerial labor. In this respect the ecclesiasticism of Wesley and Whitfield differs from all others. Among the transfer that are promised are the prob able removal of the Rev. c. w. Gallagher from the North M. E. church in Hart ford to the Warren street church, Brook lyn, N. Y. The Rev. John Pegg will leave Brooklyn to take charge of the Methodist church in Waterbury, in place of the Revi MT. Williams. The Rev. Lindsay Parker of Ansonia is to take charge of the Sands street church n Brooklyn.-Hartf' e Paper.

The number of birds slaughtered annual.
 y and imported into the United States. England and France, for the decoration of hats, bonnets, dresses, etc., is immense, notwithstanding these birds are, many of them, among the most efficient ce-workers of farmers and gardeners. Thousands of ruby hummlng birds have been slaughtered to make single dress, red spot on the head and an orange one on the throat alone being used. Only the skins of the birds. with head and feet attached, are brought to market. The blue jay comes in myriads from Bombay. the scarlet tanagers from Brazil, and peacocks, parroquets, and cockatoos, finches, jungle cocks, orioles, kingfishers, trejans and birds of paradise, and even vultures are brought to untimely ends to adorn the human form divine. How strange, when for one little canary that dies whole family will weep, and yet there are countless thousands of just as tender, sweet birds that are shot annually to supply this demand, each of which is as worthy of admiration as the dead pet. Such is the inconsistency of man, and the mystery of life.
