ST. DoRoTHEUs, ABBOT.

In his youth st. Dorotheus had 60 much
aversion to study that he said he would
rather touch a serpent than book !" but
by perseverance he became 80 inflaned
with love of learning that he forgot to eat
or sleep. When he entered the monastery
in Palestine, he said Ifintense application
to study teaches us the habit of it, surely
the practice of virtues will make US Saints" !"
He made known every thought to his supe-
riors, and was guided by them in all
things. When tempted to think he knew
what they would tell him, he said, SAC
cursed be thy judgments, o my soul all
thou hast learnt is from the devil - and
Immediately disclosed his whole mind to
them. By this means he lived in perfect
peace. He said, "if my reason told me the
sun was a sun, or darkDess was darkness,
would mistrust it and scarcely believe it."
He said he had never preferred himself
to another, nor had to reproach himself
with one word that could wound another.
he suffered many contradictions, sick
neeses and assaults of the devil but he
accepted all from God, saying, "I could
easily find many causes for these evile, but
1t is more true and more useful to believe
they are sent by God, who knows how good
It ie for me to suffer"
Dorotheus died about the gear $50.
st. Dorotheus thus describes his NORTH
cation of self-will with regard to rest
"Guests came late, and had to stay with
bucm tu0lr Cau0l-urlVSTb arrived aICeT-
wards, and had to be attended to. When
I was called to church had hardly taken
few moments sleep; was overcome by
fatigue and consumed by fever; but
answered, Il thank thee my brother, may
God reward Thy great charity He was
hardly gone before I fell asleep again.
Distressed that my idleness caused me TO
miss the Office, begged one brother to
undertake to rouse me, and another to
keep me awake in church, and 1 assure
You, / revered them almost as much as if
they had saved my SOUL"

ST. CAJETAN.

Csjetan was born at Vicenza, I4sO, of no.
BILE and pious parents, who dedicated him to
our Blessed -Lady.-Fcom- childhood he
was known as the Saint, and in later years
as ''the hunter of souls" A distip guished
student, he left his native town to seek
obscurity in Rome, but was there forced to
accept Office at the court of Julius II. On
the death of that PontiT he returned to
Vicenza, and disgusted his relatives by
joining the Confraternity of st. Jerome,
est classes while he spent his fortune in
building hospitals, and himself in nursing
the plague stricken. To renew the lives
of the clergy, he instituted the first COM
munity of Regular Clerks, known as The
atines. They devoted themselves to
preaching, the administration of the
Sacramento, and the careful performance
of the Churchs rights and ceremonies. st.
Cajetan was the first to introduce the
Forty Hours alteration of the Blessed
Sacrament, as an aptidote to the heresy of
Calvin. He had most tender love of our
Blessed Lady, and his piety was rewarded.
One Christmas eve she placed the Infant
Jesus in his arms, and she appeared to
console him as he died. When the Ger
mans, under the constable Bourbon, sacked
Rome, st. Cajetan was barbarously scour2-
ed, to extort from him riches which he had
long before securely stored in heaven.
Worn out with toll and sickness, he went
10 ilis reward in I547.
When st. Cajetan was on his death bed,
resigned to the will of God, eager for pain
to satisfy his love, and for death to attain
life, he beheld the Mother of God, radiant
with splendor, and surrounded by minis
tering Seraphim. In profound veneration
ne said, "L7dy, bless me-" Mary replied,

the sincerity of your love, and to lead you

panence in lighting an evil spirit who
tfonoied him, and gave orders to the
cnolEs OF angels to escort his soul in tri-
umph to heaven. Then turuin0 her conn

just when the Church seemed weakest,
and when Luther's heresies were gaining
ground, one destined greatly to mar the
work of Satan was burn in Lisbon. Bar
| tholomew de Martyribus-for this was his
| name-joined the Order of st. Dominic at
the age of fourteen. Later on his signal
| merit led to his being appointed Arch
threat of excommunication, to receive
conservation. At Braga he found a grand
palace, where his predecessors had lived
in sumptuous state. All this he swept
away, retaining single scantily furnished
room with simple meals, and one mule for
his journeys. If the world bade him sus-
tain his dignity, he answered by pointing
to the sacred canons. At the council of
Trent his wisdom and holiness greatly
influenced the assembled bishops, and he
did much to bring about reforms among
the clergy by exposing their luxury and
evil living. The sanity prelate then set
himself to carry out these reforms at home.
His zeal and devotion to his flock during
both pestilence and famine reaped it's fruit.
The clergy were remodelled and numbers
of the laity turned to God. At length
Gregory XIII. granted bis oft repeated
request for retirement, and he withdrew to
his beloved Order to prepare for death,
saying, "By force they dragged me away,
and I return with JOY" He died A. D,
1t happened that friend Of the arch
bishop kept urging him to make some i'm
provements in the palace, as his predeces-
sors had done, when the holy man replied,
"Pardon me if I tell you that what you
would persuade me to do is worse than
the DEVILS proposal to Jesus Christ for

which might have fed the poor, but

Reilly died. Douglas himself grew con-
servative.
He became the main stay of the Admin
istration, which, under the inspiration of
jefferson Davis, then Secretary of War,
devised a measure for the repeal of the
Missouri Compromise. Away down at the
bottom of this scheme lay plan to make
Territory west of Missouri, which would
send old David Atcbison, who had Lost his
seat, back to the Senate of the Uaited
States in order that he might continue the
agreeable game of whist and the somewhat
prosy classic discussions which had been
going on for years between him and old
Mason, of Virginia, and that particular
! clique of ponderous responsibilities. 1t
took an amount of hauling to drag Doug
las in, but the united efforts of the Ad-
ministration, and the urgency of General
Robert Armstrong, the owner of the Wash
ington Union-s man of great personal
Influence and popularity in those days,
and the father-in- law of Arnold Harris,
Douglas' chief friend-pre7ailed. Being
in, the Little Giant, with Alexander II.
Stephens as his Lieutenant in the House,
made a great and succeseful fight, laying
the foundation for the war of secession, and
procuring his own political ruin.

Douglas in the outset of this, "the fate of
Talmadge and Rives." "Sir," said the
Little Giant with naive defiance, "I beg
you to remember that General jackson is

From that moment the battle ragged. In
SO Douglas had to fight both the Republi-
cans and the Administration, with Lincoln
leading the Republicans. He carried the
day, but the victory was dearly bought.
The Administration forces, augmented by
the Secession element in the South, pro-
duced the fatal split at Baltimore, prepar-
ing the way for a Democratic defeat and
the disruption of the Union. Amid the
crash Douglas went down, disappointed,
broken hearted man, who had fought 3
great but unequal match, losing all. He
reached his bone, where he died early in

closing exercises OF the public schools took
place Yesterday. There were no formal eT-
ercises. The reports of the various schools
were read; after which the children were
dismissed for the term. All OF the scholars
were neatly and cleanly dressed, and their
appearance was highly creditable. Most OF
the girls had sweet bouquets, and all OF the
teachers were the recipients OF floral offerings
from many Of their little friends. superln-
tendant Morrissette reports that the i'm
proyement in the schools has been very
marked during the term. In consequence OF
the serious illness OF a son Of the Superintend.

schools will have pic-nics before the school

WHAT THE ARMY Is FoR.-The use OF the
army for police purposes can only be dc,
manded in the interest Of desrotlsm, ana
no one but traitor to American lnstltu-
tions will ask such use OF the army. For
all purposes that this nation needs, an army

should be so prosperous and happy, and
should love our Government so well, that

When our people are not thus happy q

who demands standing army, or that it be
used as police at the polls or anywhere.
