QUOTING And MLSQU0TING.
Philadelphia Ledger.


"With just enough of learning to mis-
quote" is one of the stinging lines in
Byron's "British Bards and Scotch Re-
viewers" This was fair retort upon the
censorious critics against whom it was di-
rected but as to general readers it would
be very unfair to charge an absence of
learning or culture upon them because Of
a failure to recite the thought or sentiment
of an author on all occasions with precise
verbal accuracy. To enable themselves to
do this they would be obliged to burden
their memories with words and phrases to
the exclusion of more important subjects,
and all for purpose which can be served
quite as we'll by reference to the authors
works, OF to some handy book. When
making such references in conversation,
strict verbal accuracy ought not to be
required but when writing for publication,
it is unquestionably the right practice to
verify whatever quotation is to be used,
wherever it is practicable to do SO. The
Observance of this habit tends to keep our
classic a a otations free from corruption, and
the neglect of it tends to what has occurred
and will continue to occur-the twisting
of terse and apt expressions out of shade
and meaning. This last-mentioned casu-
atty has happened to saying attributed
to Walpole, itAll men have their price "

THE END.

= A NRw SOURCE OF EMPLOYMENT AT THE
RoRTH.-The Philsdelpeis Times stStes that
two men will watch the grave of the late
Thomas Powers by day and two by night, the
orders of Mrs. Powers being that their vigils
shall not cease for two years. To the tomb
stone will be attached key to q watch, look
ed in a case thst the men will carry. This
watch must have the key at the grave inserted
into it every half hour, and will bs inspected
twice day to see that it has been carried to
the grave at frequent intervals. The Wash
ington Star pertineutly suggests that if q per-
the body of every rich man who dies in the
foture there will not only be employment
given to large number of watchmen, but to
many mechanics in the construction of ma
chimes that are to test the faithfulness of the
guards. In this way some of the millionaires
may be more useful to the world dead than
living.

GRANDPA's soLILOQUY.

1t wasn't so when was young
We used plain language then;
We didn't speak OF 'tnem gaioots"
When meaning boys or men.
When speaking of the nice hand.wtite
or Joe or Tom or Bill,
We did It plain-we did not say
he elipgs nasty quill"
hen. when we met good old friend
We hadn't lately seeD,
We grt eted him-but didn' t say
Hello, you old sardiner'
The boys got mad sometimes and 1T
We spoke of kicks and blows;
But cow they "whack him ON the snoot''
And paste him on the nose"
We used to dance when was young,
And used to call 1t so;
Bnt now they don't-they only "sliDS
The light fantastic toe."
OF death we spoke in lang uage plain,
That no one did perplex;
But in these days one doesnt die
He passes in his checks
We praise o man of common sense
But now they say, 'weli, that old plum
Has got level head"
It's rather sad the children now
Are learning all such talk;
They've learned to chin" instead of chat,
And waltz" instead of walk.

You bet your boots / do
The children bowed to strangers once
It is no longer 80;
The little girls as well as boys,
Now greet you with "hellol"
Oh. give me back the good old days,
When both the old and young
Conversed in plain old fasnioned words,
And slang was never slung.

ST. SYLVESTER, POPE.

ST. s1LfEStkhy fofE.
Sylvester was born in Rome towards the
young prieGt when the last but most
bloody persecution of the Christians broke
out under the tyrant Diocletian. Idols
were erected at the corners of the streets,
in the market places and over the public
fountains, SO that it was scarcely possible
for Christian to go abroad without being
put to the test of offering sacrifice, with
the alternative of apostasy or death.
During this fiery trial Sylvester strength
ened the confessors and martyrs, God pre-
serving his life from many dangers. In
3l2 new era set in. Constantine having
triumphed under the STANDARD of the
Cross" declared himself the protector of
the Christians, built them splendid
churches, amongst others the Lateran
Basilica, the Mother Church of Rome and
had been the object of the heather hate.
At this juncture Sylvester was elected to
the chair of Peter, and was thus the first
of the Roman Pontiffs to rule the flock of
Christ in security and peace. He profted
by these blessings to renew the. discipline
of the Church, and in two great councils
confirmed her sacred truths. In the Coun-
Gil of Aries he condemned the schism of
the Donatists and in that of NicaA, the
frat General Council of the Church, he
dealt Arianism it's deathblow by declaring
that Jesus Christ is the true and very God.
Sylvester died A. D. 335.
st. Sylvester witnessed, indeed, the end
of the heather prosecutions, yet other tri-
ais soon came upon the rulers of Christ's
Church. Barbarian hordes, Arian Lom
bards, German emperors, turbulent italian
mobiles, foreign usurpers, have in turn
assailed the Holy City of Rome. OF the
$50 Pontiffs who have sat in Peters chair,
besides the thirty martyred in the first |
three centuries, thirty Popes were COM
pelled to 60 into exile, four were imprison
ed, four were unable to set foot in the |
Eternal City, seven reigned in banishment |
at Avignon. Thus the condition of the |
Wears of Christ is to live as their Master |
did, in q state of suffering, contradictions,
and conflicts; but, like their Master again,
they speak in every age the words of eter-
nal truth, and outlive the prosecutions of |
men and Satan with vitality which comes
from God.

ARTIFICIAL FLOWEBS


Making artificial flowers is qnite an art in
Paris, and many ladies are now learning to
turn it into a profession, which is certain to
prove remunerative to those who are skilfol.
1t is a pretty, cleanly, amusing occupation, de-
mandng no special vocation and no great on t.
lay for tools, etc, and already teachers in the
art are advertising courses of lessons Never
were artificial flowers more in demand than in
the present dsy-dinner "a we'll as ball dresses
being trimmed lavishly with them. 1t has be-
come a custom at large dinners to place
small bouquet on the servette of every lady
guest; the style of the bouquet is known as
'Jardiniere," because it is OF mixed flowers,
but always seasonsble ones. For this month
seabious flowers and Parma violets are made
ipto bouquets. On rising from the table each
lady takes the flowers and fsstens them into
her waistbAnd.

A miraculous cure of bis eyesight marked

sound of vicious word, and remained
silent for two days after his fret meeting
with hardened sinner. AS mere school
toiled like an apostle for souls and after
wards, when priest and canon of San
Marco, won numbers to Christ. In 1910
he was exiled and imprisoned by the
French for his fidelity to the Holy See. On
the return of Pius VII, he was appointed
to give missions. He had vowed to kindle
in mems souls love of the Blood of Jesus,
and no sickness or dangers could check his
delivery of the Divine Word. Followers
gathered to his side, and with these he
formed the Congregation Of the Missioners
of the Precious Blood. He said he would
It's honor; and in 1s49, twelve years after
instituted the feast of the Precious Blood,
for the first Sunday in July.
In the thirteenth century, Richard of
Cornwall, brother of Henry Ill, brought
from Germany a relic of the Precious
Blood. He placed two thirds of it in
monastery which he built at Ashridge in
Hertfordshire, one third in similar mo-
mastery at Hailes in Gloucestershre, and
founded the Congregation of "Goodmen"
to guard and honor the relic. In 1S47
Confrarernity of the Precious Blood was
at st. Wilfrid's Church in Staffordshire
This Confraternity was re erected in 1850
in the church of the London Oratory, and
countless graces and conversions have
been obtained by it's prayers.
