IMMATURE LIVES OF THE SAINTS.
March 4,
ST. CAsIMIR, KING.


Casimir, the second son of Casimir Ill,
King of Poland, was born A. u. l45o
From the custody Of a most virtuous
mother, Elizabeth of Austria, he passed to
the guardianship of devoted master. the
learned and pious John Dugloss. Thus
animated from his earliest years oy precept
and example, his innocence and plety soon
ripeped into the practice of heroic virtue.
At the age oftwenty five, sick of a linger-
ing Illness. he foretold the hour of his death
and chose to die virgin rather than take
the life and health which the doctors held
OUT to him in the married state. In an
atmosphere of luxury and magnifcence the
young prince had tasted, worn hair shirt,
slept upon the bare earth, prayed by night,
and watched for the opening of the church
doors at dawn. He had become so ten
derly devoted to the Passion of our Lord,
that at Macs he seemed quite wrapt out Of
himself, and his charity to the poor and
our Blessed Lady he expressed in long
and beautiful hymn, familiar to US in our
own tongue. The miracles wrought by his
body after death fill q volume. The blind
saw, the lame walked, the sick were healed,
q dead girl was raised 20 life. Aud once
the Saint in glory led his 'countrymen to
battle, and delivered them by glorious
victory from the schismatic Russian hosts.
-tWenty.tWo years
after his death the Saints tomb in the
cathedral of Vienna was opened, that the
holy body might be transferred to the rich
marble chapel where it now Lies. The
place was damp and the very vault crum-
bled away in the hands of the workmen !;
yet the Saints body, wrapt in robes of silk,
was found whole and incorrupt, and emit
ted sweet fragrance, which filled the
church and refreshed ali who were present.
Under his head was found his hymn to our
Lady, which he had had buried with him.
The following night three young men saw
brilliant light issuing from the open tomb
and streaming through the windows of the
chapel.

ST. JOHN JOSEPH OF THE CROSS.

Whilst but a schoolboy John Joseph
urged his companions to hate ain, sternIy
rebuked careless livers, and gave to the
poor the better half of his meals. At the
age of sixteen he had lett Ischia, his birth
place, and received the habit of St. Francis
in Naples, and three years later was sent
by his superiors to erect "a new house OF
the Alcantarines in Piedmont. In the hope
of leading solitary life he now retired to
a hermitage at the foot of the Apprentices;
but his superiors soon summoned him
thence, and ia 1878 he was made first
novice master and then superior, being
at the time only twenty four years OF age.
He was a man of strong feelings, fond
and devoted SOD, and all the affection of
his nature was poured out on his brethren
in religion. His faith, his aasterities, and
his pray ers endowed his charity with mir
aculous efficacy. In times Of famine he fed
the friars with bread that multiplied and
herbs that grew at his command. No suf
feriDg seemed too trivial for his wonder
working sympathy; when poor sick
woman wished for peaches in the depth of
winter they were found on a chestnut
branch which the Saint had planted, and
every ill of mind and body was in turn
healed at his word. In l7O2 his firmness
and charity saved the very existence of his
Order, which was imperilled by internal
dissensions. He worked to his life's end,
and died at the hour he had furetoid in
1874.
The Saint was not content to relieve
others of their cares and sorrows, but at
times took them upon himself. priest,
in great suffering from two ulcers, and
with painful operation in view, begged
his prayers, whereupon St. John Joseph
besought God to transfer tho malady to
himself. He was at once smitten with the
suHerings of the sick man, who was at the
same time freed from his disease. Again
q man plunged in vice made a general con
fession to the Saint, who, moved by hi
contrition, gave him only q light penance
binding himself to fulfll what still remain
ed due for his crimes.

ST. CoLETTE, VIRGIN.

After holy childhood, Colette joined a
society of devout women called the Be-
guines but not finding their state eufic-
iently austere, ehe entered the Third Order
of st. Francis, and lived in hut near her
parish church Of Corbie in Picardy. Here
she had passed four years of extraordinary
penance, when s.. Francis, in vision, bade
her undertake the reform of her Order,
then much relaxed. Armed with due au
thority che established her reform through
ont large part of Europe, and, In spite OF
the most violent opposition, founded seven
teen converts of the strict observance. By
the came wonderful prudence she assisted
in healing the great schism which then at
Aicted the Church. The Fathers in Coun-
Gil at Constance were in doubt how to deal
with the three claimants to the tiara
John XIII, Benedict Kill, and Gregory
XII. At this crisis Colette, together with
st. Vincent Ferrer, wrote to the Fathers to
depose Benedict Kill, who alone refused
his consent to new election. This was
done, and Martin V. was elected, to the
great good of the Church. Colette equally
assiAted the Council of Basle by her ad-
vice and prayers; and when, later, God re-
vealed to her the spirit of revolt that was
rising, she warned the bishops and legates
to retire from the Council She died March
9th, l447, in a transport of intercession fox
sinners and the Church.
st. COlette never ceased to pray for the
Church, while the devils in turn never
ceased to assault ber. They sWarmed
round her as hideous insects, buzzing and
stinging her tender skin. They brought
into her cell the decaying corpees of pub
lie criminals, and assuming themselves
moDstrons forms struck her savage blows
or they would appear in the most seductive
gulse, and tempt her by many deceits tC
sin. Yet the virgin of Christ triumphed
alike over their threats and sllurements
and said she would count that day the IN.

Woman suffrage In Wyoming Is o failure
For year or two tho plan worked tolerably

The object for which the suffrage was CON
ferred upon the Wyoming women was to secure
