BoYs.-Get hold Of the boys heart. Yon-
der locomotive with its laundering train
comes like a whirlwind down the track and
regiment of armed men might seek to ar
rest 1t in vain. II would crush them and pass
unheeded on. But there is a little lever In
its mechanism that, at the pressure of mans
hand, will sacken its speed and in a moment
or two bring it painting and still, like whip
ped spaniel, at your feet. By the same little
lever the steamship is guided hither and yon
upon the sea, in spite of adverse wind and
current. That sensitive and responsive spot
by which boys life is controlled is his heart.
With your grasp gentle and firm on that helm,
you may pilot him whittier you will. Never
doubt that he has a heart. Bad and wilful
boys very often have the tenderest heart hid
don away somewhere beneath incrustations of
sin, or behind barricades of PRIDE And 1t is
your business to get at that heart. keep hold
of ii by sympathy, confding in him, mani
festly working only for his good, by little in
direct kindnesses to his mother or sister, or
even to his pet dog. See him at his home, or
invite him to yours. Provide him some little
pleasure, set him to some little service of trust
for you love hm--love him practically.

L0N0ETITY or p0pEs.

Livery few days dispatch OF letter from
Rome gives US intelligence Of tho health az
Leo XIII. He. like most Of the PONIES who
have preceded him, is very infirm Of body.
and his end at any time would not snrprise
the public. The sovereign PoDtifls have from
remote ages been principally engaged in dv-
ing, aud even Pho Mono, whose Longevity
amazed everybody, and was a glaring excep-
ton In Papal history, was reported moribund
continually during the last twenty years OF his
life. The Romanists are believed by the Pro
testants and Rationalists to have invented
many of their Popes. They ridicule the idea
Of calling Peter the first of the line, often con.
tending that there was no Pope for several
centuries after the period he is supposed to
have flonrished. The Catholics, however.
have arranged their Pontifs to suit them-
selves, as they have their whole theologic
scheme, and 1t serves their purpose rully as
well as If all their fictions were absolutely
true. But, beginning with the fifth century.
1t is remarkable how brief the reign of most
of the Popes have been. Zosimus, the Greek.
lasted hardly year. Bonifaoe l., about 4
years. Gelasus I :, years John l., 8 years
Boniface H., years; Agapetus l., / year
Sabinianus, years; Boniface ILL.,, year
Deodatus l., years; Severinus. Q years
John W., year; Eugenius l., 8 years
Dominus l., years /; Leo H., years Bene.
dict H., year; John ", year; Conou,
year John VII, years Sisinius, less than
year Stephen H., less than year Ste
phen ILL.,, years Stephen ", year; Eu-
genius H., years; Valentinus, not | year
Martin H.. 2 years; Adrian ILL.,, year and
komanus, Thedorus II. aud John TX. were all
elected, and the first two died within twelve
month. During the 7th century there were
W ropes during the 9th and 18th centuries
there were 10. The average reign of the
ropes has scarcely been more than years.
and they who have reigned 10 or 1e wears
have been very few. The explanation of the
brevity of the Holy Fathers lies In the alleged
fact that the Cardinals, as a rule. are ex-
tremely ambitious and anxious to sit in the
rapai chair, and usually vote for those who
are very old and unsound of body As Popes
OF this kind are likely to die soon, the Cardi-
nails have another chance for the trple crown.
Good health and comparative youth are ale
most certain to prevent any Cardinal from
elevation to the Pontiical See, whatever bis
mental gifts and moral training. The Cardi-
nal who promises to die quickest has general
~ the best prospect of becoming the successor
of the so-called Vicegerent of God ON earth.
Cardinals are very much like other men, and
even Popes are SO human that It is deemed
necessary to pronounce them infallible by
dogma, SO that their common humanity may
be concealed from the overfaithful laity.-

Yesterday they were conversing about
Spiritualists, and he said that great many
people put old horse shoes in front of their
doors to keep out evil spirits. Do you be-
lieve there is anything in that?" she asked
quietly. 81 dare say there is, he responded.
''Wel, then, John, if you believe an old horse
shoe will keep bad spirits out, you get one
and hang 1t to your nose the next time you
go to ward meeting, and perhaps it will
keep bad spirits out of your mouth" He
merely said, after pause, that if there was
anything in the world he hated, it was re-
ligious discussion.

1t is no use, says the Boston Transcript, for
an Eastern man to try to tell big story when
there is Western man about.
" When was young man." said Colonel
b., we lived in Illinois. Tie farm had been
well wooded, and the stumps were pretty
thick. But we put the corn in among them,
and managed to raise u fair crop. The next
season did my share of blowing. We had
a 'sulky' plow, and l sat in the seat and
managed tho horses-four as handsome bays
as ever man drew rein over. One day
found a stump right in my way. / hated to
back out; so just said a word to the team,
and, if you'll believe it, they walked that
pillow right through that stump as though 1t
had been cheese -
Not soul expressed surprise. But Major
s., who had been a quiet listener remarked
quietly It's curious, but had a similar
experience myself once. My mother always
made our clothes in those days, as well as the
cloth they were made Of. The old lady was
awful proud of her homespun-said 1t was
the strongest cloth in the State. One day |
had just plowed through white oak stump

A LITTLE GIRLS REPRooF. army off,
Ger, on returning home from camp life, went
to visit relative, and, like some who initiate
their associates, he INDUCED i'll profane Ian
guage. A little girl walked out with him to
his horse and as he was talking to her in
great glee, she gently said:
81 don't like to hear my cousin swear"
He replied, "Iknow, my dear. 1t is wrong"
In the same mild tone she rejoined, "Well,
then, If you know It is wrong, why do you
do it?"
The captain confessed to friend, on relat-
ing the story, that he never felt reproof so
much as the one given by that little girl. lie
had good reason to feel it, for lie deserved it.
The old verse says:
Maintain your rank. vulgarity despise;
To swear Is neither brave, polite nor wise"

the ladies all had such good opinion of me.
And my master and his friends were all so
certain of the victory, that was looking for

would be over, and all the houses would be
lighted, and the music would be heard, and
the name of Hancock would be on every ban

TIE BELLS OF sHANDoN.
FATHER pRour.

FATHER PR0UT.
With deep affection ana recollection
often think of those Shandon bells
Whose sounds wild would in days of childhood
Fling round my cradle their magic SPELLS
On this ponder where'er wander,
And thus grow fonder, sweet Cork, fthee
With thy bells of Shandon, that sound so grand on
The pleasant waters of the River Lee.
I've heard bells Ginning full many cline in,
Tollng sublime in cathedral shrine,
While at glib rate brass tongues would vibrate
But all their music spoke naught like thine.
For memory dwelling on each proud swelling
OF thy belfry knelling its bold notes free
Made the bells of Shandon sound far more grand on
The pleasant waters of the River Lee.
I've heard bells tolllng old Adran's Mole I" in
Their thunder rolling from the Vatican,
And cymbals glorious swinging uproarious
In the gorgeous turrets of Notre Dame.
But thy sounds were sweeter than the dome of Peter
Filings DER the Tiber, pealing solemnly:
oh the bells of Shandon sound far more grand on
The pleasant waters of the River Lee.
There is bell in Moscow while from tower and kiosk
In st Sophia the Turkman gets,
And loud in air calls to prayer
From the tapering submits of tall minarets
Such empty phantom freely grant them
But there is an anthem more dear to me:
fTis the bells of Shandon that sound so grand on
The pleasant waters of the River Lee.
