Scenes of AFFECT Misery witnessed by a
Visitor at CarrarOc.

| Scenes of AFFECT Misery witnessed ~ a
Visitor at CarraToc.
Preached Carraroc on SATURDAY even
! ing, and on the next day l happened to
meet the Rev. Walter Conway, who
was on his way to attend some sick
| calls on one of the islands which make
up his struggling and extensive parish.
Being anxious to see as much OF the
! condition of the people as possible, L
gladly accepted his invitation to accom-
pany him.
l was by no means prepared for the
scenes l witnessed that Sunday after
noon. Such poverty-stricken people,
such wretched novels, such misery and
patient suffering | never saw before,
and | hope | shall never see again.
There was scarcely a house but had
some inmates lying down with fever,
brought on, l was assured by the local
doctor, by hunger or the want OF sui
ticicnt food. 1t was pitiable in the
extreme to see the emaciatcd features
of most of them, and the looks of fam
ishing despair on their countenances
as they lay huddled together on the
bare earthcn floor or staggered about
the house like drunken people from
sheer exhaustion.
While the good priest was admins
tering the last sacraments to a few OF
the worst cases l inspected several of
the houses alone. l was quite unex-
pected, and indeed l required no other
evidence than the character of the
cabins and the woe-begone appearance
of the inmates to convince me that the
gaunt specter OF famine had already
appeared. l shall never forget the
sight l beheld in one house. Father
Conway had preceded me by several
yards. On his pushing the door of this
house open observed him reel back
ward and look as if he were going to
faint. The fever-]aden atmosphere Of
the one-roomed house as it rushed out
ward was overpowering, and it was
some time before he could enter. I
summoned up courage to follow him as
LIE beckoned me to come on.
" had some difficulty in realizing the
fearful scene before me. On one side
of the hearth lay two young boys in a
state of Inconsistencies, and almost
size by side lay their two sisters in the
same pitiable condition. Following
thh direction indicated by the priest, |
Observed the mother of these four chill
drtn, a few feet off, a corpse. All were
lying on the bare floor, with a few
sdanty rags their only covering. I
hhstened from the house overwhelmed
With the sight, and what my feelings
we're can be better imagined than de-
scribed. The priest remaining a con-
Siderable time in the cabin. l returned
to find him engaged in cutting off the
girls hair with an old rusty scissors
(which he discovered after a close
search. The next day the priest visited
this stricken family again, and carried
himsclf-to avoid publicity-two of HIS
own blankets with which to cover the
| poor girls and their brothers.-CatAolic
| Times.

our summer of sacrifices, and H,e as
sured us, again and again, that ie did
like the paper much and was al sur
prised and pleased as we could wish.
.'Father would never let that paper
be changed. He said it should stay
there as long as he live5, Ind it did.
When l used to go home and visit him,
after | was married, l, too, could see
the fun in the mismatchcd figures and
the odd lines of dingy-white It regular
intervals around the room. Many a
laugh we had over it in those later
days, but, mydear children, Ihope you
will never have such Il harsh hwaken-
ing from any of your cherished dreams

A Diminutive Engine.

Charles Cox, a jewelcr of Salem,
Ore, has constructed a steam engine
inside the wreath on a one dollar gold
piece. Its weight is two pcnnywcight
and six grains, and the length of the
stroke is sixteen hundredths Of an inch.
The length of the valve stroke is three
hundredths of an inch, and the machine
when run by steam is capable CT five
thousand revolutions per minute. 1t is
now run by compressed air. The cylin-
der and bright work is gold-plated. and
the little thing is quite q curiosity in its
way.-OreyouiaN.

FUNERAL
A Clergyman's Sensible Advice to Fami
lies Visited by Death.


In connection with the subject of
funerals, l would like to make Il sug-
gestion TO all who, through q sad
necessity, may become interested. 1t
is the custom, Of course, where death
occurs in 4 family to send at once for
an undertaken. If there be no male
relative to make Il business of the
matter, the suggestions of the under
taker are listened to and assenteh to by
the widow and the orphan. The sub
jcct of the cost CRATES SO harshly upon
the car Of the afflicted ones that cost
and prices are not much talked over,
but left to the judgment of the under
taker. The undertaken, however kind
and sympathetic, knows but little of
the financial affairs OF the family, and
his thoughts running naturally in the
business line of getting up a nice
funeral, he selects and brings up a
rather expensive coffin or sarcophagus
probably one that costs sixty or
eighty dollars. Its price scares the
family y, but it has been "ordered,' and
sis there, and can't be helped.n And
the straitencd family finds thatthe pay
ment of it, together with all the other
expenses incident to sickness and death,
becomes as great a weight upon
their hearts as is the earth upon
the form Of their dear one in his grave.
This is no fancy picture. But let it be
understood that there are in every
undertaking establishment in this city
not only those modern denominations
called ''caskets,' made of iron, or of
acknowledgement boards to initiate
iron, but also rosewood collins,
light in weight and very beautiful, for
prices from seventeen to thirty dollars.
My suggestion is, to all families, that,
when death enters among them, they
at any cost of feeling-make the ex-
penses Of the burial Il personal and
business matter, and thus avoid sorrow
upon sorrow.-St. Louis Globe Demo-
c70t.

The parted wave glidcs swiftly back,
Forever closing on II track,
And crowding pearls, an endless tide,
Slips from the burrows curling side.
Faint tropic winds. with ghostly feet.
The shadOWy deck unchnilenged beat,
Fit through the dusky sails, and speak
With soft, sweet lips, against my check.
Deep unto deep. with listening soul
I hear Il solemn cadence roll;
Soft, rhythmic pulses. t%hrobbing slow,
From depths above to depths below.
One full. mysterious life, whose sound
Sweeps through creations utmost bound,
Thrills to each sobbing breath. and hears
An ripping waves the swing OF spheres.
No far-ofi isle of beings hides
Beyond the circling of its tides:
No barren shore but sometimes glows
With driftcd bloom Of summer rose.
o, watchful helmsman! if we go
10 reef or pert what heart car know,
Save that eternal currents keep
Their steady course through every deep.
So, tapped in happy dreams HE,
The world, a bubble, floating by:
The silent sky. the whispering sea,
But followed hands to shelter me.
