A FABLE FOR GIRLS.

Aisy, till I tell We a little story to dwarf
We a bit, and its all thrue. and I know yell

In the ancient times, when flowers and
trees were on spanking terms, and all friendly
together; in u beautiful garden where there
was all sorts of plants ye could mintlon, liv-
ed a lovely but giddy fairy, who went sport
ing about as gay as q morning lark. Well,
one day a black cloud grew up out of the
north, all in a mint, and away skitted the
fairy to find shelter in the flowers. "Now,
Rose" says she, "the rain is come; do you
love me still" II can hardly shelter my

she, "the storm is come; will You shelter

sELF-EsTEEM.

1t is a well-known principle of optics that
shadows are longest when the sun is tarth-
est from the objects which cast them. In
the same degree that the sun approaches the
shadows diminish, till arrived at the zenith,
and shining in the fullness OF his strength,
they disappear altogether. Much the same
law of proportionate increase does the ska
dow and stain of vanity observe; distance
from the light frightening and deepening
it, while nearness to the light dwindles and
~attenuates it, till, resting under the very
blaze of truth. it vanishes altogether. We
always think best of ourselves when we are
most ignorant of ourselves. The dimness
of moral vision occasioned by the absence OF
light. magnifes the dimensions OF our viz
tues out OF all proportion, while at the same
time it obscures our vices. Concert is a
plant that, like some noxious weeds, grows
best in the dark. Light is fatal to it, and 1t
accordingly %instinctivcly shuns it. The
nearer ones heart is kept to the great Source
of light, the more humble and self-renounc-
ed 1t will become. Self-esteem Is possible
where there is a great ignorance OF our
selves aud if we would be free from Its 'g-

CHEERFUL WOMEN.

Y In marrying, men should seek happy fwo-
men. They make a terrible mistake when
they marry for beauty, or for talent, or for
style; the sweetest wives are those who
possess the magic secret of being happy un-
der any and every circumstance. Rich or
poor, high or low, it makes tho difference,
the bright little fountain bubbles up just as
unsteady in their hearts. Nothing ever
goes wrong with them-no trouble is too
serious tor them s'to make'the best of it."
Was ever the stream of calamity so dark
and deep, that the sunlight,of a happy face
falling across the turbid stides would not
make an answering glsam? Why then,
joyous.tempered people don't know half
the good they do. No matter how cross
and crabby you feel, no matter if your
brain is full of meditation on "affiicting
%dispensations," and your stomach with med
icines, pills and tonics just set one OF
those CHEEKY little women talking to you,
and we are not afraid to wager anything
she can cure you. The long drawn line
about the mouth will reIax-the cloud of
settled gloom will vanish, nobody knows
where, and the first thing you know you
will be laughing? All, what blessings are
these happy women! How often their lit
tie hands guide the ponderous machine of
life. with almost an invisible touch! How
we look forward through the weary day to
their freside smiles! No one knows, no
one ever will know until the day of judg-
ment reveals how much we owe to these
helpful, hopeful, accomplishing happy wo-
men!

HIS WAY OF DOING GOOD.

Up in New Hampshire is a ~well-known
excentric individual. a self-constituted curer
of all ills, a sort of universal panacea-body-
and-soul-head-he art-and-conscience doctor,
who, with all his eceentricities has a fund
of active wit that is hard to beat. Not long
g the doctor was called upon the witness
stand. The opposing counsel, who is said
to sometimes .'wet his whistle" with eli
quid pizen," knowing the doctors peculiar
tiles, ventured in cross-examining to first
show him up a bit. The result will be ap-
preciated.
"What is your businessw pompously
queried the counsel.
"My business. is to do what little good /
can to my tellow-men," modestly replied
the doctor.
"But that doesn't answer my question:"
pufily remarked the counsel. "How do
you spend your timer"
"Why, Squire, it takes about ali my
time to do what I said," insisted the doc
tor.
"But 1 want something more definite.'
stoutly demanded the counsel. ''How do
you go about your business"
THAT depends upon circumstances, &C
cording to the nature of the CASE" explain
ed the doctor ; 'for instance, i'll were 60
ing to begin on you, the first thing l should
do would be to advise you to sign the item
perance pledge"
' The court roared and the counsel, las !
convinced the doctor was pursuing a 'legid
mate and respectable vocation, proceeded
with the regular cross-examination.

SLURs ON WOMEN.

OF all evils prevalent among young men,
we know of zone more blighting in its moral
effects than to speak lightly of the virtues OF
women, Nor is there anything in which
young men are so thoroughly mistaken as
the low estimate theyiferm as to the integri-
ty of Not of their own mothers and
sisters, but of others, who, they forget, are
somebody else's mothers and sisters. AS a
rule, no person who slrrenders to this de-
basing habits to be trusted with an enter
prise requiring integrity of character. Plain
words should be spoken on this point, forthe
evil is a generol one, and d~eep-rooted. If
yopng men are sometimes thrown into the
society ~ofthoughtless or depraved women,
they nave no more right to measure all
other women,by what they see of these, than
they have to estimate the character of honest
and respectable citizens by the develop
ments of crlmeiin our police courts. Let our
young menremember that their chiefhappi-
ness in life depends upon their utter faith in
woman. No wosldly wisdom, no misanthrop-
ic philosophy, no generalization, can cover
or weaken truth. 1t stands like the recod OF
itself-for it is nothing less than this-and
should put an everlasting seal upon lips that
are wont to speak slightingly of

OBJECT OF THE LOAN.

During the criss which followed the of secession,
and which weighed heavily the State of Louisiana
the Administrators of the Diocese of New Orleans
assumed liabilities which they have determined to
qudate. In the past year better state of affairs
loomed up in the financial situation of the Diocese.
That improvement will increase the rate of interest
claimed by ts creditors is lessoned.
The conventional rate in Louisiana is too gh for
religious society the of which, though entirely
secure, nevertheless limited for such society
cannot look for eventual profits in contingent under
takings in spec uatons altogether inconsistent with
its mission of benevolence and charity.
Therefore it 10 not with view of creating debt
that this loan is negotiated but order to unf and
consolidate anterior liabilities and obtain their gradual
and regular extinction by means OF the ordinary
revenues of the Diocese and without endangering the
Church property. although affecting it Such is the
plan positively approved by His Holiness Plus TX,
and unanimously adoped by the Board of Administra-
tors of the Roman Catholic Church of the Diocese of

SUMMARY.

From what precedes it follows;
That the loan is negotiated with the sole object
nquidating all former dobts;
That it represents the liabilities of the Society of
the Roman Catholic Church" which are thereby unified
and consolidated with a reduced interest
That it is secured by special mortgage on proper
ties worth Eve times much the amount borrowed
and therefore amply sufficient TO guarantee beth the
payment of interests and the redemption capital
Consequently, the Mortgage Bonds of the Diocese of
New Orleans institute hrstclass investment, with
moral and material securities but seldom oRered to
capitalists.
