happily b.otted out, later on, by the real
nature of an average woman. But it can
not be denied that such an experience Of

to teach a man bitter, if deceptive, lessons.
Let young women try nobler plan of
behavior: let them chow the material of
wifehood, matronhood, to the
man who has staked his honor in this
world, and his salvation in the next, on
them, and we shall have fewer scandals in
married life, fewer separations and wrang-
lings, fewer secretly unhappy homes, few

couples. Let us remem5er that we women

LOHE MELODIES IN CH URcH,
Buffalo Catholic Union.

ONN-St-~ ~--~-'
We are not of those who would exclude
from the House of God all music whi ch
does not meet the approval of the rigid
C@cilian school. Many compositions which
come most decidedly under the head of fig
ured music are intensely devotional written
expressly for the sacred words whose
spirit-be it peniEence or triumph, entreaty
OF thanksgiving-.they render as faithfully
as human genius, faith inspired, can.
We listen and our hearts are lifted up
The voice of every trifling or unworthy
emotion is stiEled. All that is best and
truest in our complex nature is finding
meet expression. We forget for time
the vexing cares of mortal life and seem
to hear faint, sweet echoes of the songs Of
which the Well. Beloved spake.
But not all the music rendered by voice
or organ within cOnsecrated walls Ia thus
capable of bringing the wayward soul into
sweet accord with the spirit of religion.
We have heard sacred words warbled to
impassioDed melodies which brought before
the eyes the stage instead of the altar, and
to the lips other words than the broken
| utterances of a coDtrite heart.
Nobis quoque peccatOribus, murmurs the
priest at the altar.
Sweetly, tendery, with the pathos of
| suppressed passion, sounds from the organ
the melody of a cong of farewell-of
"broken hearts," and that constancy so
common in song and story which cannot
be affected by slime or change" etc.
Farewell, surely, to any prayerful
thought while those siren tones are singing
away the hearts devotion.
Let us cherish the glorious triumphs OI
musical genius which have been achieved
for God and by the children of the Church
But is it we'll that the suggestive melodies
Of love songs should be heard from ouI
choirsR Too easily, even under circum
stances most favorable to devotion, are
mind and heart diverted from the thought
of God.

Circular from Archbishop Gibbons.

BALTIMORE, Ssat. 4. 1873
6ererend and Dear Sir You are painfully
aware of the terrible scourge of yellow fever
with which the people of three of our sister
States in the South are now aH ioted, and OF
the appalling scenes of terror, despair, desola-
tion aud death which are hourly witnessed in
New o.leans Memphis, Vioksburg and other
places along the Mississippi. And the latest
from sffording any hope of an early cessation
Of the epidemic, report, on the contrary,
steady increase of fatal cases.
This fearful condition of things is aggravst.
cd by the rigorous blockade which is enforced
against these cities, which places them in a
ststs Of isolation, which has paraly I'D trade
and commerce, has thrown ont OF employment
hundreds who ace able to work, aud has re-
duoed them to condition OF forced idle
ness.
Poverty, therefore, with all it's attendant
privations, is to be added to the other evils
trom which 80 many in these ill.fated cities are
now suffering.
While we contemplate st q distance the sad
spectacle Of 30 many faithful priests and de-
voted Sic. ers of religions orders and volunteer
nurses dying like br ave sentinels at their poets,
victims of heroic charity, while We behold 30
many hundreds of onr fellow. beings, of every
fAce and religion, swept away by the poison
ons breath OF pestilenoe, we should be deeply
grateful to God that We are preserved from 80
apeadf1l q visitation, and th at we are 10 the
0D Joyment of social and commercial relations
with the outside world.
And We should give substantial expression
Of our gratitude to God, and of QUE sympathy
for our suffering brethren by hastenipg to re.
ievs them In their sore distress.
lam sure, then, that / am not only giving
oppression to my own feelings but also inter-
pPetinR your ishes and the wishes of your con-
Rregation when 1 request you, on reading this
oircnlsr Sunday next, TO announce that q
collection will be taken up in all the churches
Of the Diocese on Sunday, Septeuber Is. in be-
Aalf of the yellow fever sufferers In Louisiana
Aississippi and Tennessee. You will please
remit your collection esrly as practicable
TO the Chanesllor OF the Diocese that it may be
forwarded with tae least possible delay to 1t:

A we'll ,to-do undertaken of San Francis
90 owned a small house and lot in a block
that was coveted by one of the Pacific coast
millionaires, who had built a palace there
and wanted all the contiguous land for a
garden. He succeeded in getting all ex-
cept the undertaker's property, which pro-
jected into the very heart of his grounds,
aud which it's owner would not part with
at what the millionaire considered fair
price. The latter, therefore, erected high
fence, said to be the loftiest in America,
enclosing the obstinate undertaker's prop
erty on three sides, and depriving it almost
entirely of sunshine. The undertaken
trained vines to grow up the wooden walls,
and stood it coOlly for a year or two. Now,
at last, his patience has given out. A few
weeksNago he had HE house removed bodily
to another part of the city, and, obstinate
as ever, is about to put up q very tower of
Babel. The style of the proposed building,
it is said, will be plain and su bstantial for
the fret FIVE stories, but the remainder of
the towering ledifce, after rising above the
fence, will present a commin Cling of re-
naissance, Gothic, and Baby ylonian archi-
lecture, surmSuuted with a section of Chi @.
nese pagoda. He declines To- say to what
uses he proposes putting this remarkable
edifice; but it is believed that the first and
paramount use will be to torment the
hitherto triumphant millionaire.

More Mail Facilities.

There has been received at the post office in San Francisco, from the post office department at Washington, sample of tin envelope, in which may be sent samples of sugar, four and other powdered substances; also, disappointed instruments, as pens. needles, pins, and many other things heretofore excluded from the mails. The envelopes are simply small round tin boxes, with sort of paper bag in the bottom, place on one side for af- fixing the stamps, and on the other for the address. X small tongue of tin attached to the lid, bent over into a niche at the bottom, secures the package, yet in such q way that it may be readily opened for examina- tion. In these boxes may be sent, at the rate Uf one cent. per ounce or frac- tion of an ounce, every kind of third. class matter, except liquids, poisons, explosives and other such articles as are dangerous to the mails and to life. We presume the postmasters on the coast will soon have on hand sup ply of these boxes. They would be useful for sending away samples of ore, tailings, and many other things.

A Little RCmauce

Says a Southern paper: There was a romance connected with the death of Zack Oliver, the Memphis letter carrier Ten days ago, while on his way to This lodgings, he encountered, very i'll with the fever, young Jew ess, PhGbe Mendleson, who had come into the city to inquire for letters which were expected from her pa- rents, who had fled to some northern city when the fever first appeared. The young lady had remained with some friends who had removed to the country. Seeing her condition, kind hearted Zack took her to his room and went in haste for physician, whom he secured, and by his attention to her, in conjunction with the nurse furnished by the Towards, the young Jcwess was saved from death. Three days ago she had so far convelesced as to be able to sit up. when Zack was attacked, and, although feeble from her illness, she aided in the nursing of her friend, who fingered few days and died in the arms of her he had saved.

A Business Woman.


 The Indianapolis Ne,rs tells of q wholesale merchant in that city (namc not given who was approached by a well-dressed young gentleman in New York week before last, who claimed acquaintance on the ground of belong ing to the same church in IndiaDapO- lis. The merchant accepted him on his introduction as MT. Johnson, and at his invitation the twain spent the evening at the theatre, where the merchant inadvertently remarked that he should leave for home the next evening, taking with him S10,0G0 worth of checks and drafts. The next evening, therefore, he was met at the depot by MT. Johnson and hand somely-dressed lady, whom he intrO- duced as Mrs. Johnson. He would be delighted if his friend would take charge of his wife until they arrived at Cleveland, where she would visit some relatives" The merchant was charmed with the prospect, and after a nasty adicu, Mrs. Johnson was left in his company. The lady proved as entertaining as her husband, and so improved her time as to receive the confidence of the Indiana traveller, and he reiterated to her the statement made to her husband regarding the wealth he was carrying home. Dur ing the evening she asked him if he was sound sleeper. He thought he would be able to sleep until morning. no matter what happened. They had adjoining berths, both lower ones. After retiring, he took the precaution to place his watch and money under his pillow. He awoke in Buffalo the next morning at s o'clock to find his pocketbook and the fair female both gone She had got off at Rochester in answer to a telegram from her hus- band, and, not wishing to disturb her tired companion, kindly let him sleep on, so the conductor told him. The authorities of Rochester were put on the track of the lady, and she was ar rested, with all the money in her pos session. Her pseudo husband was not with her, and thorough search in New York failed to discover his whereabouts. Not counting that pecu- liar kind of fame that he would re- ceive in a prosecution, the fair but fragile female was allowed to depart, and the gentleman returned to his store wiser and more cautious man.

Now that the harvest is nearly over it Is ascertain ed beyond a peradventure that the wheat and barley crop in Salt River Valley is large. The Gila Valley usually produces an enor- nous quantity of that grain but this year very little has been raised there, ow- ing to the lack of water for irrigation. The late abundant rains will insure fodder in the Northern part of the Territory but 1t has come to l@te for the corn, so that crop will be nearly a failure this year. This state of affairs in the surrounding country will give the farmers of Salt River Valley a market for all their grain at remuner- ative prices. Barley has advanced a quarter and wheat half a cent since har- vest began, with an up- ward tendency.
