"Reminiscences Of Cardinal McCio.key.

"Reminiscences Of Cardinal McCloskey.
His Emincnce often said it was sad
to have outliyed his generation; that
his contemporaries having passed
away. he feltloncly and alone, like an
old man among young men, there be-
ing none now LIVING who took part with
him in the events of his life and times.
He was simple and unostentatious in
his habits, shrinking from everything
that bordcd ON vanity or pride. The
trait was we'll illustrated some years
ago, on the occ aston when some
wealthy friends presented him with
coach and horses. While he thanked
the gentlemen for their kindness and
liberality, he felt constrained to say
..that he had no taste or inclination
for such grandeur or display; that it
might gratify the vanity Of his success
sors, but it had no attraction for him.
In the same manner, when some one
had apologized becassc of the delay in
getting the new Madison avenue
mansion ready, he said sstherc was no
need to be in 4 hurry; that he was we'll
provided for. and he wanted no better
house than the humble home which he
then occupied"
He was distinguished and impress
sivc speaker, aud in this respect he
had no superior in the diocese. He
was rich in mental resources, and re-
markablc for originality and versatility.
There were excellent opportunities to
Judge of him in this regard when he
visited the colleges during their
annual commencements, which he did
regularly every year. He always had
\ beautiful short speech of cOngratula-
tion, thanks, and encouragement, but
never once repeated himself. He was
fond of a joke, and sometimes made
one himself. Having been once asked
permission by u clerical student in
examination to read his paper in
English, he answered, s'Yes; no doubt
you will be much better understood. =
When about ten years of age his
father had farm in Duchess county.
One day, while yoke Of oxen stood
yokcd to lumber wagon, he tried to
drive them, got of tho road, went
against stump, and upset tho lumber
on top Of himself. He was taken np
for dead. This was the cause Of much
Of tho fccblcncss of his after life.
He never in any manner wasted his
vitality by the use Of stimulants or to-
baccO.
He hated buster and noise. ..Easi-
est, the best was his motto.
