The POWER OF CoNsCIENCE.-Any.
thing, even the assassination OF the moral
sense, rather than its rebukes These are
intolerable. They embitter life, they I'm.
dermine health, they lead to madness.
Hence, at any cost, they must be drowned.
But if these capnot be calmly borne, how
will they be endured when, gathering
strength, they burst on the soul like thun-
der =? And that they will is certain. Con-
science may be numbed, but it cannot be
destroyed it may be dragged to heavy
slumber, but it cannot be strangled. When
least expected it will shake off its torpor.
Some unanticipated failure in life, some
sudden bereavement, some Immediate ap-
palling peril, or some sound or image re-
calling the purer past will rouse it from
its lethargy. And if not before, at least
when the immortal spirit is freed from COM
psniouship with the flesh, will it take the
whip and lash the bowling soul naked
through the universe. Oh that hour Of
resusoitation-who will be sufficient for
that who dare confront the terrible tor
ments that it will bring? Its maddening,
devouring anguish beyond this world no
one can picture what it brings here has
been often imagined and portrayed. II it
is said descriptions of this kind are tictions
of the poet, it may we'll be asked how
comes it that he conceives them unless they
are grounded in truth. When conscience
unmans Macbeth and paralyzes Richard,
we feel that the scene is true to nature ;
there is something in us all that says to 1t
amen !-[Dr. Lorimer, of Chicago.

SINGULAR DISCOVERY IN SWITZERLAND.
An interesting discovery was made re-
Gently at Andermatt, in the Canton of Urn,
by some workmen who were excavating
near the old church, well known to tour
lists. While digging they suddenly came
upon several skeletons, and on disturbing
them there fell from the lower jaw ct one
two gold coins OF the reign of Charles Will
of France, at the end of the fifteenth CEN
fury. Further search revealed the pres
ence in the bony hand of the skeleton OF a
piece OF linen rag in excellent preserva'
ton, and on unfolding the rag the men
brought to light ten silver coins of the six
tenth century, of the time of Francis l.
of France. 1t is supposed that the skele'
ton is that of soldier who fought at the
battle of Marignan, and that having stoler
some money and put the gold coins in hi
mouth for safety, he was immediately at
terward killed on the feld.-[St. james

Story Of a Monkey.

A brave, active, intelligent terrier be-
longing to lady one day discovered a
monkey belonging to an itinerant organ
grinder seated upon bank within the
grounds, and at once made dash toward
him. The monkey, who was attired in a
jacket and hat, awaited the onset with
such undisturbed tranquility that the dog
halted within few feet of him to recon-
hotter. Both animals took long, steady
stare at each other, but the dog was evil
IDENTIFY recovering from his surprise and
about to make spring for the intruder.
At this critical juncture the monkey, who
had remained quiet hitherto, raised his paw
and gracefully saluted by lifting his hat.
The effect was magical the dogs head and
tail dropped, and he snesked off and en-
tered the house, refusing to leave it until
he was satisfied that his polite but mystic
rious guest had departed.

A SENSE OF DoUBT.-How is it that
whenever you are thrown into the COM
uany of an unusually polite-an over
ooite-person, you almost Immediately
distrust him? There comes to you, acting
upon the nervous part Of you, of which
you know solittle, sense of doubt. You are
not averse to polite bearing and manners-
nay. you like them you even find 1t pleas
ant to receive compliments so readily and
glibly offered to you ; to see the amiable
smile TO watch the bowling head ; and
there is something in the scene of reverence
and respect as expressed toward yourself
very hattering to your amour propre: Yet
in spite of all you are not sure OF your
companicn's honesty. You are inclined to
suspect that there is something cynical
behind that smile; something hollow at
the back of the compliment /; something
unreal in the look of regard. And you
do not know in the least why you have
this feeling, only you know yon have
it. At the same time you find 1t so
agreeable to be made much OF, to
fiud your opinions suddenly of value Tor

that you lull to rest the spirit of doubt
which rises within you, and resolve to
believe your new friend an exceedingly
polished and very delightful man. And

TIE LOST CHILD.

The bairnie by the cottage door
Had all the morning played;
The sun shone bright as down the lane
The wee bit bairnie strsyed.
He'd 20 and catch the pretty birds
That sing 80 clear and sweet;
So down the lare and through the fields
Wander the little feet
And when the sun sinks in the west,
The child IS far from home,
And tired, tired are the little feet
"0h, nanny, nanny, come =
The pretty birds have gone to sleep.
All nature is at rest;
All how this weary, wandering bird
Longs for his coy nest,
The bright eyes Of the night keep watch,
And angels hover round
His grassy bed ; oh, weary head,
Its pillow is the ground
The angels spread their snowy wings;
And as he sleeping lies
They bear him TO his Fathers home
He wakes in Paradise.
For two long days the mother seeks
Her boy, in anguish wild
Three miles away from the cottage door,
A stranger finds the child.
Oh mother dry thy weeping eyes;
Thy bairnies safe at Home,
And thou shalt see thy boy again
ooh, NANNY, nanny, come ~

TELEGRAPHING CHINESE. Owing to the
popularity of the Chinese characters, each
of which represents word, not letter,
as in our Western tongue, the Danish Tel
egrsph Company the Great Northern)
working the new Chinese lines, have, En-.
gineeriEg says. adopted the following de.
vice There are from five to six thousand
characters or words in ordinary Chinese
language and the company has provided a
wooden block or type for each OF these.
On one end of the block the character is
cut or stamped out. and on the other end
is number representing the character
The clerk receives message in numbers
and takes the block of each number trans
mitted and stamps with the opposite end
the proper Chinese character on the mes
ssgeform. Thus Chinese message sent
in figures is translated into Chinese char
scters again and sent to its destin8tion.
The sending clerk, of course, requires to
know the numerical equivalent OF the
characters or have them found for him.

Rats Nursed by a Cat.

Our young readers do not need to be re-
minded perhaps that cats have often been
known to rear strange children. The fol.
lowing instance-which though but lately
made public, occurred few years ago-is
one of the most remarkable stories of a
foster family that we are aware of. A cat
kept in a stable to catch rats, and excel
lent at the business, gave birth to five kit.
tens, three of which were at once drowned.
A stall in the stable had been set apart for
her use, and the next morning she brought
into it three young rats, which she nursed
along with the two surviving kittens. A
few days later these kittens were killed,
and the next day puss fetched two more
young rats. A board had been fixed at the
end OF the stall to prevent the rats from
escaping. As soon as the cat jumped over
the board and lay down for the purpose,
her singular family ran to her and took
their refreshment. 1t may be mentioned
that this story is we'll authenticated.

FADED LEAVES.


The hills are bright with naples yet;
But down the level land
The beech leaves rustic in the wind
AS dry and brown as sand
The clouds in bars Of rusty red
Along the hill tops glow,
And in the still sharp air the frost
La like dream Of snow.
The berries Of the briar-roee
Have lost their rounded pride,
The bitter-sweet chrysanthemunls
Are dropping hesvy-eyed.
The cricket grows more friendly now,
The dormouse sly and wise
Hiding away in the disgrace
OF nature from mans eyes.
The pigeons in black wagering lines
Are swinging tow'rd the sun;
And all the wide and withered fields
Proclaim the summer done.
His store Of nuts and acOrns now
The squirrel hastes to gain,
And sets his ouse in order for
The winters drearY reign.

To read good books, to sing

Retreat of Catholic Paators.

According to immemorial custom the Cath olic pastors of this city are observing 8 week of prayer and retirement. They are holding the retreat at St. Francis Orphan asylum, under the guidance of Father Russo, Jesuit of great ability. The priests arise every morning at 5:30, and from that time until is spent at mass and meditation. Breakfast is served at z. and then, after a short rest, the priests retire to read their of fee in body and listen to the instruction given by the director. Dinner is ready at half-past 12, and until 3 o'clocb the fathers enjoy recreation. The afternoon is spent in different devotional exercises and supper is served at 6. Another hour is then spent in recreation and the day closes with meditation and night prayers, and the lights must all be out and the priests in bed by o'clock.
 On Saturday morning the retreat will be broken up after the early mass IG is not probable that the vicar-general of the dincese will be appointed until after the bishops trip to Europe this summer.
 Next Monday at p. m. the curates of the diocese will commence their retreat at the asylum It will be conducted by Rev. Father Welch, prominent Jesuit of Boston. The order of exercises is about the same as for the pastors
 The tables at the retreat are well furnish ed and this week are waited upon by the fol- lowing senior ecclesiastical students of the diocese Rev. James Degnan, Rev. T. Crow ley, Rev. Edward Donnelly, Rev. Maurice Sheehan and Rev. John Corcoran.

 TnFn

The Connecticut Baptist Bible School
 Union.
 The Connectic ut Baptist Bible School Un ion held a meeting at Niantic Tuesday even ing and in the absence of the president, Rev T. s. Samson, of this city, the first vice pres ident presided.
 Rev. J. R. Stubbert, of Putnam, offered prayer. W. s. Bronson delivered an inter esting address on the "Gleanlngs from the field of convention work" After the address a discussion on the topic took place, each speaker being limited to three minutes. The Hon. 0. N Allen of Putnam, the Rev. J. D. Herr, D. D., of Norwich, the Rev. w. 0. Walker of Andover and the Rev. J. R. Stub bert of Putnam took part.
 MT. J. B. Underwood Of Meriden, gave an address on the subject, Best plan of conducting Bible School Institute.'', Miss Alice Hooper, of Montville, recited in very acceptable manner. After the doxeIogy the Rev. o. T. Walker, of Boston, gave the benediction and the meeting adjourned until Wednesday morning.
 The closing day of the meetings was a success; the weather being fine brought a large concourse of people to the spot. That the address of welcome, delivered by Dr. Herr, was interesting and inspiring, goes without the saying. He was followed by Dr. Stone, of Hartford, who spoke in refer ence to our work as State Bible school union.
 The Rev. MT. Stubbert, of Putnam, was the next speaker. His theme was the rela- lion of cooperation to success. A recitation by Miss Susie Drew, of Meriden, very finely rendered, concluded the mornings session.
 In the afternoon the tent was filled again with an attentive audience. The Rev. M. H. Pogson, of Bridgeport, made an address on the s'True object of all Bible school work" The last address of the day was delivered by the Rev. o. P. Clifford, of Boston, on 'tEn- thusiasm."
 The first annual meeting of the association proved to be an immense success.
