PRUssIA's NARROW ESCAPE FROM THE DAN
GER OF TRIPLE ALLIANCE.

Prince Napoleon has written book in
which he gives what be says is the true
history of the secret negotiations that I'M
mediateiy preceded the Franco Prussian
war. He says that IA early as tho summer
of 1869 intrigues were on foot at Paris for
the conclusion of an offenaive and defensive
alliance between the Emperors of France
and Austria and the King of Italy. Its
object was to check the growing power of
Prussia and the North German Confedera-
ton. Italy was willing to enter the COM
pact, provided Rome was given up to her,
and Austria, strange to say, eagerly SEQ
onded her proposal. Napoleon, however,
feared the effect of such a surrender upon
his Ultramontane supporters, and refused
to withdraw the French troops. When the
nominal of Prince Charles of Hohenzol-
lern precipitated a crisis, the French saw
at once the necessity of coming to an un-
derstanding with their hating friends, and
o treaty in three articles stipulatipg the
armed action of the three powers was sent
to Florence and Vienna. The government
of Victor Emmanuel prefessed their readi-
ness to sign, provided fourth provlso
specting Rome. To this Napoleon puffed
up by the worthless assurances of Let@uf
and his carpet warriors, interposed his
veto. AS late as the Goth of July, five days
after the declaration of war, the Austrian
AMBASSADOR at Paris urged the same course
upon the duuluS GhCJ
could never have Italy heartily with them
until they extracted the Roman thorn"
Although a Catholic power, Austria, it
seems, was willing to sacrifice the Pope to
be revenged on her recent conqueror. Ma
poleon remained undecided. His old pro-
crastination which threatened his success
during the coup detat, had got the better
of him, and he could not make up his mind
| to the alternative of alternating the Ultra
montanes. Prince Napoleon pointed out
that in any event the treaty would be
favorable to France, and urged him to
sign before the fortunes of war declared
either for or against them. Still the EN-
peror refused. 1t was only after the crush
| ing defeat of Hagenau and Woerth that
his eyes were opened and he was brought
to signify his assent. Then, of course, it
was too late. Italy had no need to pur-
chase what she could have for nothing, and
the French alliance was discarded as use
less. One of the most singular revelations
connected with the history of those trou-
blous times is the fact that the Pope's
appeal to King William was at one period
thought to have been successful. Prince
Napoleon Gays that when the Italians occu
pied the city, the King and his advisers
were decidedly uneasy as to the attitude
of Prussia, who, it was thought, might not
wish to offend her South German and
Catholic allies by consenting to the seizure

ST. BERNARD, FRIAR, PREACHER

This holy priest held in the thirteenth
century the Office of sacristan in the Do
minican house at Santarem in Portugal,
and had under his charge two boys, sons
of poor parents, who daily served the
Masses of the fathers and received in re-
turn from them such learning as they could
afford, by which they 80 profted that they
held it their greatest privilege to assist at
the altar, and stand in the immediate pres
ence of the Lamb of God. 1t was their
custom when Mass was over to take their
morning meal in a chapel near the church,
in which was an image of the Infant Jesus,
to whom they would offer portion Oftheir
food and the Holy Child would come and
eat with them, teaching them the while the
hidden things of Divine Love. Which
when Bernard heard, he bade them pray to
Jesus thus: "Thou comest, o Lord, day by
day, to us /; grant that we too, and our
Father Bernard, may sit as guests at Thy
table," Then Jesus granted their prayer,
promising that they should keep the festi
val of His Ascension with Him. The day
came, aad the boys as usual served Ber-
nard's Mass. When it was ended the three
knelt for a moment before the altar and
as they knelt a sleep came over them and
to His house in heaven.
The monks buried Bernard and the two
servers in one and the same grave; but 80
sweet was the perfume that came from
their bodies that it rose through the earth,
proclaimiDg the holiness of these servants
of God. Such rewards are only for Saints;
but all who assist worthily at the sacred
mysteries obtain in this life purity of soul,
hidden intercourse with God, and in the
next speedy entrance into the Joys of the

Patriarch of Copstantinople, then distract

secuted by the magistrates, stoned by the
rsbble, and thwarted and deserted even by
his brother bishops. During the second
General Council he resigned his see, hoping
thus to restore peace to the tormented city,
aud retired to bis native town where he
died A. D. 800. He was graceful poet,

The Arians were so irritated at the decay
of their heresy that they pursued the Saint
with outrage, calumny and violence, and
at length resolved to take away his life.
For this purpose they chose resolnte

touched with remorse. and cast himself at
the Saints feet, avowing his sinful intent.
st. Gregory at ohee forgave him, treated
him with all kindness, and received him
amongst his friends, to the wonder and edi-
fication of the whole city, and to the con-
fusion of the heretics, whose crime had
served only as foil to the virtue of the
Saint.

his episcopate cross was seen in the air,
reaching from Mount Calvary to Mount
Olivet, and so bright that it shone at noon
day. st. Cyril gave an account of it to the
emperor and the faithful regarded it as q
presage Of victory over the Arian heretics.
Like the other great bishops of his time
he was persecuted, and driven once and
again from his see but on the death of the
Aran Emperor Valens he returned to
Jerusalem. He was present at the second
General Council at Constantinople, and
died in peace A. d. 1856, after troubled
episcopate of thirty five years.
While Cyril was bishop, the apostate
Julian resolved to falsify the words of our
Lord by rebuilding the temple at Jerusalem

a curve. The locomotive shrieked, but
within two seconds the child was overtaken

sT. FRANCIS JEROME


Francis Jerome was born in 1642 Of re-
spectacle and pious parents in the king
dom of Naples, of the capital of which
kingdom he afterwards became the apostle.
His childhood and youth were remarkable
for innocence and virtues which presaged
his future sanctity. At the age of twelve
years be was admitted into a community
of missioners, and employed by them in
catechising. After having made his theo-
logical studies in Naples and been ordained
priest, his whole life was 30 completely
moulded in conformity with the evangeli-
cal counsels that he went by the name Of
"the holy priest" At the age of twenty
eight he entered the Society of Jesus, and
after a moet fervent novitiate became a
professed father and pattern of religious
observance. From desire of martyrdom,
he offered himself for the missions in Japan,
but God had destined him for apostolic
labor in his native country. DE was ap
pointed Prefect of the Missions in Naples,
where his zeal for Gods glory and the
souls of men made him q model for mis-
sionere. Weak in body, the labors and
sufferings he underwent in evapgelizing
the prisoners, soldiers, galley slaves, and
abandoned women in Naples, and In every
description of missionary work, can only
be attributed to supernatural strength.
God repeatedly confirmed the preachin
of His servant by astounding miracles.
He died in the prOfeesed house of the So.
ciety in Naples in bis seventy-fourth year.
While St. Francis was preaching to aban-
doned women in the streets of Naples, one
OF their number insulted him from her
window and ridiculed his discourse. The
Saint warned her that within eight days
God would punish her, and on the eighth
day he invited his audience, who had as
sembled at the came place, to visit the
woman that had interrupted him. She
was found by them lying dead npon the
floor of her room. "Catharine," said the
Saint, addressing the dead body, "for the
greater glory of God and the edifcation OF
those standing by, answer me, Where are
you1" The departed soul returned for an
instant, and gave an answer distinctly
heard by all present-"In hell for eternity

ST. sTAN1sLAs, BISHOP, MARTYR.

Stanislas was born in answer to prayer
when his parents were advanced in age.
Out of gratitude they educated him for the
Church, and from holy priest he became
was then King of Poland,-a prince of good
disposition, but spoilt by long course Of
victory and success. After many acts of
lust and cruelty he outraged the whole
kingdom by carrying off the wife of one of
his mobiles. Against this public scandal
the chaste and gentle bishop alone raised
his voice. Having commended the matter
to God, he went down to the palace and
openly rebuked the king for his crime
against God and bis subjects, and threat
ened to excommunicate him if he persisted
in his ain. Boleslas in revenge made a
false charge against the bishop, but on it's
being miraculously refuted he made show
for q while of better life. Soon, however,
he relapsed into the most scandalous ex
cesses, and the bishop, finding all remon-
strance useless, pronounced the senten ce
of accommodation. In defiance of the
censure, on May 8, 1919, the king went
down to chapel where the bishop himself
was saying Mass, and sent in three compa-
MES of soldiers to despatch him at the
altar. Each in turn came out saying they
had been scared by light from heaven.
: Then the king rushed in and slew the Saint
at the altar with his own hand.
To slander the Saints character, Boleslas
euporneo the nepheWs Oh obe fSul, lStely
dead, to swear that their uncle had
never been paid for land bought by the
bishop for the Church. The Saint stood
fearlessly before the kings tribunal, though
all his witnesses forsook him, and guaran-
teed to bring the dead man to witness for
him within three days. On the third day,
after many prayers and tears, be raised
Paul to life, and led him ia his grave
clothes before the king. Boleslas was only
hardened by the miracle; but Stanislas'
voice never faltered in it's warnings till his
courage won for him his palm.

ST. ANToNINUs, BISHOP.

Antoninue, or little Antony, as he wac
called from his email etature, was born at
Florence in 1889. After childhood of
singular holiness, he begged to be admit
ted into the Dominican house at FIesole /;
bat the Superior, to test his sincerity and
perseverance,, told him he must first learn
by heart the book of the Decretals, con-
tanning several hundred pages. This ap-
parentiy impossible task was accomplished
within twelve months; and Antoninus re-
ceived the coveted habit in his sixteenth
year. While still very young he filed
several important posts of his Order, and
was consulted on questions of difficulty by
the most learned men of his day ; being
known for his wonderful prudence as "the
Counsellor" He wrote several works on
theology and history, and sat as Papal
Theologian at the Council of Florence. In
l446 he was compelled to accept the arch
bisbopric of that city; and in this dignity
earned for himself the title of "the Father
of the Poor" for all he had was at their
disposal. His household consisted of only
six persons; his palace contained no plate
or costly furniture, and was often nearly
destitute of the necessaries OF life. His
one mule was frequently sold for the
relief of the poor, when it would be bought
back for him by some wealthy citizen. He
died embracing the cruciix, May End,
1859, often repeating the words, "To serve
God is to reign"
st. Antoninus never refused an aims
which was asked in the name of God.
When he had no money he gave his clothes,
shoes, or furniture. One day, being sent
by the Florentines to the Pope, as he ap-
preached Rome beggar came up to him
almost naked, and asked him for an aims
for Christ's sake. Outdoing st. Martin,
Antoninus gave him his whole cloak. When
he entered the city another was given him;
by whom he knew not.
