A Lax Catholic.

A lax Catholic is the favorite with
the would. There is nothing the world
loves so much as a bad Catholic, with
one exception only. A good Catholic
is rebuke to the world, because his
life is founded on a high standard, but
q lax Catholic. whose life falls below
that standard. gives consolation and
relief to the lax conscience by which
the world lives. There is something,
however, worse than this. A bad
priest is the worlds saint. When the
world finds a bad priest, it fondles him
with all manner of indulgences. Can
anything be more in the spirit of the
world than this? There is only one
thing worse than a bad priest, and that
I is q bad angel. who fell from the pres
ence Of God himself. And the world,
in receiving a bad priest with SO much
love and favor, is acting in accordance
with Che spirit Of 1.-The bad angel, who is
the god Of this world ,ardinal Man

Oh, do not envy, my own dear wife
The wealth of our uext-door neighbor,
But bidme still to be stout at heart,
And cheerfully follow my labor.
You must know. the last Of those little debts
That have been our lingering sorrow
Is paid this night. So we'll both go forth
Oh, the creditor is but q shame-faced dog
With the debtors name on his collar,
While I'm king and you are queen,
For we owe no ruan dollar.
Our neighbor you saw in his coach to-day,
With his wife and his Haunting daughter,
While we sat down at our coverlees board,
To crust and cup of water.
saw that tear-drop stood in your eye,
Though you tried your best to conceal it;
know that the contrast reached your heart,
And yon could not help but feel it;
But knowing now, that our scanty fare
Has freed my neck from the collar,
Youth join my laugh, and help me shout
That owe no man dollar!
THE neighhor whose show has dazzled YOU
eyes,
IN fact, is u wretched debtor;
pity him OFT, from my Very heart,
And I wish that his lot were better.
Why, the man is the veriest slave elive:
For his dashing wife and daughter
Will live In style though ruin should come
80 ne goes like lamb to the slaughter!
Rnt he feels it the tighter every day
Thac terrible debtors collar
Oh. what would he give could he say with US,
That he owed no man dollar
You seem amazed but I'll tell you more;
Within two hours met him,
Sneaking away with frightened air
Aeif iend had beset him;
Yea he fed from a very worthy man,
Whom met with the greatest pleasure
Whom I called by name, and forced to stop,
Though he said he was not at leisure.
He held my last note! So | held hin, fast!
Till he freed my ne TX from the collar;
Then shook his hand as proudly said,
How owe no man dollar
An! now you smile, for you feel the force
OF the truths Eve been repeating;
I knew that a downright honest heart
III that gentle breast was beating!
Tomorrow III rise with giants strength
To follow my daily labor;
Bot ere we sleep let un humbly pray
For our wretched nexr-door neighbor,
Aud we'll pray for the time when all shall be
From the weight OF the debtors Collar
When the poorest will lift his voice and cry,
Nov owe no man a dollar!"

Tragedy in the Woods.

REMOVE, Pa April IA report
has reached this point of brutal
murder committed four or five miles
south of Curwensville, in Clearield
county, but the full particulars, owing
to the distance of the point from any
telegraph Office, are hard to obtain.
Miss Lizzie Eastman, a young lady
teaching school in one of the farming
districts of Ciearfeld county, was
found dead in the school house last
Tuesday evening. Her tongue had
been cut from its roots and lay beside
her dead body. The school had been
dismissed as usual at O'Clock and
the pupils left their teacher alone in
the school house. In the right hand
of the dead woman was found lead
pencil and on the floor near her dead
body was written in her handwriting
the reyolting particulars of her death.
Two tramps had entered the school
house after the pupils had been dis
missed. They overpowered and out
ragged her. afterwards severing her
tongue with knife and then fled,
leaving her for dead. She recovered
sufficiently to write on the school
house floor and had succeeded in Civ
ing the above particulars with discrip-
ton of her assailants, when she grew
too weak to write more, and died be-
fore she was found.
The affair has created a great SEN
sation here, where the young lady
was we'll and favorably known. Miss
Eastman was remarkably beautiful
girl, but of a most fearless disposition
She had often been warned against
tarrying too long after school, as
tramps were not infrequent in the
neighborhood She always laughed
at such remarks and asserted that she
was not afraid of being molested
AS soon as the body was found,
posse was organized to go in pursuit
of the Williams whohad murdered Eer,
but so many hours had elapsed since
the deed was committed that the men
made good their escape. The descrip-
tion left by the young girl is sufficient
ly complete, SO that the men can
probably be identified if found, unless
they have taken extraordinary precau-
tions to disguise themselves.
A young man who was engaged to
the unfortunate girl is almost crazy,
and swears that he will not rest until
he has found the 6ends and slain them
both.
The parents of the girl are bowed
down with grief, and there is general
mourning among her many friends.
Her pretty ways and pleasant man
ners had enderred her to every one.

appeared in our neighboring counties,
and it is well to "look leedle oudt"
for the rascals. An agent appeared
with new soap. and in order to ad-
vertise its superiority over all others
he proposed to put box of thirty six
three-quarter-pound bars into each
house One-half of this box, or eigh-
teen bars, was to be gift. For the
balance he charged the merely nomi-
nal price of 81, much less than would
have to be paid for the same amount
of any irst-class soap in the market.
The "gift" was in consideration of
paying for one half of the box, and
the hope that the buyer would fur.
ther patronize these goods and use
his influence to induce others to do
the same. Purchasers were advised
to let it season" little before using
To those who did not, it may be a
surprise to learn that this 27-pound
box of soap dried down in four weeks
to weigh only three pounds. AS the
cost of this amount of soap, together
with the box, could not possibly have
exceeded twenty-five cents, and as
the man disposed of several hundred
of these "gifts" in Williamsp ort, it is
not difficult to see that the giving
was not of the kind that impoverish.
