Our Young Readers.
NOTHING NEW.

You come to me, nv little lad and lassie,
With eager, questioning looks.
To tell you something new, some curious
story,
You can not find in books
And you are eight and eleven, now!se
troubled
With wrinkles or gray hair:
And you have balls and dolls and games a
dozen.
Plenty TO eat and wear.
And you have books with gayly painted pict-
ureS
OF kings AMI queens and slaves,
With stories of good pc 1ple wise and tender.
Ant tales of wicked knavcs.
And you can read of--oi! so many countries
Beyond so many seas.
Of unknown people and their curious Gus
OF foreign fruits and trees;
IF famous battles fought by land aad water,
Of ladies and brave knights,
LAY palace festivals with a tE. sp,on dor
OF tossing plumes and lights;
And still you ask my little boy and IN ilen,
For something new and strange,
All your young thoughts and eager fanc.es
reaching
About the world for change.
Something you can not find in books or story?
Something you think keep
Hidden away. to talk of and dream over,
When you are we'll asleep,
Hunting for fairies in some moOn-touched
forest,
With these same troubled eyes
That lift TO me, by day, their eager pleading
For some new, sweet surprise.
And so yOu find in all your nursery legends
The things of every day
Changed Just ittle:-all the worlds new
people
Are going the old way.
And. too, you find that man to man is brother?
That heart to heart is bound?
That all things answer, each unto another!
And that the earth is round!
To all the centuries little boy and maiden,
You hold the thread and clew.
Beat lower, little hearts, and cease your ques-
tiOns,
know of nothing new.

Father Meynard, of the Alexan-
dria (Catholic) parish, at the solici-
t,,tion-of the citizens of Colfax, de-
livered couple of lectures in the
conrt house last Sunday. The sub
iect of his morning discourse was
.'Fbat Catholics do not Believe" d.
vided under the following heads:
]. Catholics do not believe that none
but themselves can be saved.
2. They do not believe that the Blessed
Virgin and the Saints must be adored.
They adore God the Father, Son and Ho-
ly Ghost only. They solicit the interces-
sion of the Virgin and Saints just as the
prayers of the good when alive are asked
for.
3. They do not believe that for money
they can obtain the forgiveness of sins
and receive permission from the priest to
continue in sin.
4. They do not believe it impossible fol
the Pope to sin.
5. They do not believe that for none,
the priest can pray souls out OF Purgatory
The speaker handled his subject il
pleasing and impressive manner
and surprised many at his lberality
toward the "heretical" sects.
We regret not being able to attent
his lecture at night on "What Catho
lies do Believe"
