Apples Of Gold In Pictures Of Silver.

"a word ftly spoken is like apples Of gold in
pictures Of silver" When the body becomes
diseased, the mind. is thereby necessarily In
fuenced. National wars, state dissensions,
neighborhood broils, and family differences,
are more frequently than otherwise the RESULT
Of disease and disordered constitutions. When
the body is suffering, the minds acting in
sympathy, will become irritated and perple1ed.
When the physical system is in health, the
mind percelves things in their true Light, and
the disposition assumes q very different phase.
Nothing more directly tends to destroy the
happy, cheerful disposition. Of q woman, and
render her peevish, nervous and f~retful, than
q constant endurance of uterine disorders.
The diseases peculiar to women take away the
elasticity and buoyancy of health and reduce
her body and mind to q mere wreck. DR..

maker in o family. No woman suffering from
uterine disorders can afford to be without this

IN -ANECDOTE OF O'CONlNELL

In Mrs. O'Conneli's Life of Charles Bian-

which shows Is trait of that great Catholics

the good old costn:n Of giving thanks to God
for favOrs received, is one of the lost arts.

even for these there il little real gratitude to

open hearted generosity, that once left him in

sank deeply into my fathers naturally warm

They saw that his income as large enough to
meet the demands without sacrificing single
farm. My father cross questioned OConnel
abont the details Of his property and about his

nor lett any secret untold. My father put HIS
questions as delioately as he could, but he has
said that he never suffered more acutely than
in seeing the Liberator vince and 80 plainly
show his sorrow. He, however, made bar
gain, and very wise one, too, in electi1g that
he was not to be bothered about the matter
until it was all settled.

pleasant impression, and my father was obliged
to open the book and point with his finger to
the sum total, showing fair balance to the
credit of Daniel OConnell, EGG. Ny father
said that he never would forget the expression
that was then upon his friends face. After n
moments bewilderment O'Connell lifted up his
eyes to the big crucifx that hung over
his desk, took off his cap, and said, in low
and reverent tone, Thanks be to God J Never
was my father so much astonished as he was
then at seeing O'Connell thus raise his thoughts
to heaven before he had verified the accuracy
of the figures. No man ever recognized more
heartily than my father that, though he had
toiled and planted, it was God who had given
him his good things; yet he must have worked
out tie amount for himself and seen that it
was correct before he could thus reverentially
express his gratitude"

ST. TuEoDoTUs, MARTYR.

Theodotus was an innkeeper ct Aucyra
in Asia Minor. He was a married man,
but given to prayer and modification, and
on fire with zeal for souls. He led many
sinners to penance, many Jews and
heathens to the knowledge of Christ aud
God set His seal upon his sanctity by mir
acles, for his prayers healed the sick. In
the persecution of Diocetian he confirmed
the faith of the confessors by prayer Cpd
good advice. He made even his occupa
tion an outlet for his zeal. His inn was a
place of shelter for the Christians and he
furnished the bread and wine for the Holy
Sacrifice, at time when by special edict
of the emperor all that was sold in the
markets was contaminated by heather rites
1t was this zeal Ior souls which won him the
crown of martyrdom. Seven ChTjstian
virgins had been apprehcpded, aud Theo
dotus remained praying for them, till he
got Dews of their victory. Next night one
of these virgin martyrs appeared to him,
told him how to recover her own body and
those of her ccmcaEiODs, and assured him
that his own end WAS near. He did indeed
recover the sacred relics but in doing 80
be was betrayed by an apostate Christian.
He died in the year BOB, after awful tor
ments, strengthened and confirmed by Jesus
Christ, Himself the Jealous Lover of souls.
God rewards our prayers for our brethren
by inspiring them to pray for Us in the hour
of our need. Before Theodotus went to
his trial God permitted him to spend a
long time with his brethren, who prayed
that he might finish his course with joy,
and then parted from him with many tears.
Their prayers strengthened him for the
combat, aud enabled him to labor even in
the midst of his sufferings for the souls of
others. He was torn with hooks and burnt
with torches vinegar was poured into his
wounds. "See," he said, show Christ can
make a man of low condition victorious
over princes" And pointing to his wounds,
he told the people to "look at the sacrifice
we must offer for Christ, who first suffered
for u.s."

ST. PAsCHAL EAYLOE.

From child Paschal seems to have been
marked out for the service of G God and
amidst his daily labors he found time to
instruct ard evangelizs the rude herdsmen
who kept their focks on the hills of Ara
gon. At the age of twenty-four he entered
the Franciscan Order, in which, however,
he remained, from humility, a simple lay
brother, and occupied himself, by prefer
epce, with the roughest and, most eervile
tasks. He was distinguished by an ardent
love and devotion to the Blessed Sacra
ment. He would spend hours on his knees
before the decentralization he was raised
from the ground in the fervor of his prayer
and there, from the very and eternal
Truth, he drew such stores of wisdom, that
unlottered as he was, he was counted by
all a master in theology and spiritual eel
ence. Shortly after his profession he was
called to Paris on business connected with
his Order. The journey was full of peril,
owing to the hostility of the Huguenots,
who we're numerous at the time in the
south of France; and on four separate Oc-
casions Paschal was in imminent danger of
death at the hands of the heretics. But it
was not Gods will that His servant should
obtain the crown of martyrdom which,
though judging himself all unworthy of it,
he so earnestly desired, and he died in the
odor of eanctity, May 18th, 1899.

ST. JOHN NEPoMUcEN.

st. John was born, in answer to prayer,
A, D. 1880, of poor parents, at Nepomuc in
Bohemia. In gratitude they consecrated
him to God; and his holy life as priest
led to his appointment as chaplain to the
court Of the Emperor Wenceslas, where he
converted numbers by his preaching and
example. Amongst those who sought his
advice was the empress, who suffered much
from her busband's unfounded Jealousy.
St. John taught her to bear her cross with
