ST. HERMENEeILD, MARTYR

Leovigiid, King of the Visigoths had two
sons, Hermenegild and Recared, who reigo.
ed copjointly with him. All three were
Arians, but Hermenegild married a zsalous
Catholic, the daughter of Sigebert,. King
of France, and by her holy example was
converted to the faith. His father, on
hearing the news, denounced him as T.
traitor, and marched TO seize his person.
Hermenegild tried to rally the Catholics of
Spain in his defence, but they were too
weak to make any stand, and after two
years. fruitless struggle he surrendered on
the assurance of q free pardon. When
safely in the royal camp, the king had him
loaded with fetters, and cast into q foul
dungeon at Seville. TortureS and bribes
were in turns employed to shake his faith /;
but Hermenegild wrote to his father that
he held the crown as nothing, and pre-
ferred to lose scoptre and life rather than
betray the truth of God. At length on
Easter night, an Arian bishop entered his
cell, and promised him his fathers pardon
If he would but receive communion at his
hands. Hermenegild Indignantly rejected
the offer, and knelt with joy for his death
stroke. That same night light streaming
from his cell told the Christians who were
watching near that the martyr had won
his crown, and was keeping his Easter with
the Ssints in glory.
Leovigild on his deathbed, though still
an Arien, bade Recsred seek out st. Lean
der, whom he had himself cruelty persecu-
ted, and following Hermenegild's example
be received by him into the Church

KILLED BY PUFF OF TOBACCO SMOKE.
On Sunday afternoon, while John Con-
nelly, of Brooklyn, wac playing with his
little son, aged IA months, who wac in his
lap, he playfully blew puff of tobacco
smoke into its face. The child coughed,
gseped for breath and fell back unconscious.
Ia few min utes it died from suHocation.
Tie physician who was summoned said that
the child had probably sucked the smoke
into it's throat aud had been unable to dis
charge it. The father became almost wild

ST. MECuTlLDIs.

ST. AECuTlLDIs.
Mechtildis was the sister of st. Gertrude,
and cousin of the Emperor Frederick IL.
From her infancy abe was led aud moulded
by the Spirit of God. At the age of seven
she entered o convent, and never returned
to tho world. She grew in humility, piety
and obedience, so that 1t seemed to those
about her that God had forgotten in her no
perfection, and that she was living copy
of our Blessed Lady. Her intellect was
vast and clear, its education complete. Her
voice was noted for it's power and sweet-
ness she was useful in every way, in ell
things most loving and serviceable. Her
life was one of much suffering, endured
thankfully aHd jOyously, and increased by
her own rigorous penances. She was dead
to the outward world, and her soul lived in
unrutusd peace, favored with the closest
friendship with Jesus and Mary. Her
heart was an unfailing spring of compass
sio1 for all in sorrow, 80 that che was
called the universal refage and consoler.
She was especially devout to the Passion
and to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, and full
of sympathy with the holy souls in purga
tory. She wns Abbess of Dlessen until she
wac summoned to reform a monastery in
Suabia. Her success was complete; nothing &
could resist the charm of her sweetness.
When her end drew nigh she returned to
Diessen, where she died not long after, A.
d. 1900. Her meditations are amongst the
choicest treasures of the Church.
I'VE wept little" says her biogrspher,
"for her g!ory stayed our tears. There
was vast multitude commenting the
Saint to God, or rather through her com
mendipg themselves to Him. All around
were widows and orphans mourning their
unreasonable loss. There were the crowds
of sick whom che had healed. Sue had in

b. LIDwINE, VIRGIN.

Lldwine was born in q cottage at Schis-
dem in Holland on Palm Sunday, 1880,
while the Passion was being chanted in
church. They christened her Lidwine,
which meaus "suffering much," and thus q
single word ioretold the story of her life.
The child at twelve dedicated body and
soul to God, and then, lest men should

the charms Of her exceeding beauty. Her
prayer WAS more than granted. At fifteen

ST. APOLLONIUs.

In the persecution of Diocletian, 'Apol-
lonius, monk of the Thebaid, was forward
in consoling the Christians and auimating
them to suffer. He had been we'll known
for his holy life among the solitaries OF
the desert, and had been promoted to the
dinconate. When his own time came he
proved that bis brethren had judged right
" Of his merits, and he died as he had
lived, o perfect monk. AS he lay confined
At Antinoe, the pagan crowd focked to
his prison to revile him. Foremost among
them was Philemon, q celebrated flute

son." said Apol!onius, land lay roBe of
these words to your charge" This was all
he said but his meekness struck Phile-
mon to the heart, he confessed Christ,

in earnest and took his place by the side
Of Apollonius.
come. He tortured Apollonius, and re-
preached him IA q deceiver, and when he
got no answer except q prayer for his con-
version, he ordered him to be burnt alive.
But at the prayer of the Saint rain ex-
tinguished the flames, and Arrian at the
sight of the miracle WAS changed from a
prosecutor to martyr. He was led before
the Project OF Egypt, and was thrown into
the sea at Alexandria along with Philemon
and Apollcnius.
When the Prefect of Egypt sent orders
that Apollopius with his converts, Phile-
mon and ArTian, should be led 10 chains to
Alexandria, he chose out the most brutal
and savage of bis officers to execute his
commission. These men were not moved
by the news of the miracle or by con-
version SO extraordinary as that of Arrian.
But Apollopius spoke to them on the way,
and with such efficacy that they too con
fessed Christ, and were martyred with their
prisoners. They were subdued by the
strength of man who had learnt to subdue
himeelf.
