pope Plus will Move or He will Not

Some of the papers contain refer
ences to the Pope's removal from Rome
to some desirable place, probably Spain.
An exchange says that Father Schuck
of Indiana has just returned from the
Vatican, and says:
On the street priests are daily insult
ed by the people, who show their ami
mostly by splitting on the holy fathers.
The greater portion of the people in
Rome are infidels, and this is one of
the reasons why they are so bitter in
their hatred of the church. At pres
ent preparations are being quietly made
for the Pope's departure, and he is liza
ble to leave at any moment"
This is strange, if true, that such
contempt for "the holy fathers" and
such crop of "infidels" [rejecters of
Romanism?] should exist under the
shadow of St. Peters Chair and at the

him away from the enjoyment of the
fruit of his labors.
But after all, this talk about his

Considering Peace and War.

Themore Peace is viewed and con-
sidered in its nature and influences
upon mankind, as individuals and as
nations, the more beautiful and impor-
tant it is seen to be. Peace is so lovely
and great and indispensable to the
best interests of the human race that
our Savior chose to be known by the
title, The Prince Of Peace" But the
more war is viewed and considered
the more hideous and atrocious it is
seen to bet never grows more beau
tiful, good, Or necessary to the sound
philosophical or true CHRISTIAN mind
by calm contemplation. The most
melancholy fact at the present time, in
the lives of nearly all Christians, is
their indifference to the subject of war
and the war system in Europe and
America. If there is not enough of
the Christian religion in Europe and
America to stop war forever between
nations, there is certainly common
sense enough, if calmly and consider
ately exercised, to do it most ettectual-
ly. Nothing can be a greater and
grosser violation Of common sense
than war between civilized nations.
There is not single nation in the
world, in regard to the subject of
war, that is worthy to bear the name
of Christian nation. j.. H.

Danseuse Behind the scenes.

Now let us view the ballet from be-
hind the scenes. Here is danseuse who,
with radiant smiles, passes from tho
foyer, dashes on to the stage, which she.
traverses in four revolving leaps, executes
pas before the footlights, salutes the
public most winningly amidst thunder
of applause, and turns to walk up the
stage toward the wings" And the
moment that her back is turned to the
public the smile vanishes, her face be-
comes serious, her features are grimacing
and drawn with fatigue, and as she
passes us we see that she is painting for
breath and bathed in perspiration. And
by the time she has finished dancing she
will be so worn out that she will scarcely
have strength enough left to crawl up
stairs to her dressing room, where che
win need to be rubbed down and tended
like an overtaxed race horse. This is the
reality, the reverse of the edal.--Theo-

ago the young lady's favorite pug dog
died, and as a memento of the departed
she had its hide tanned. She carried along
this skin to stand upon so that her feet,
which, by the way, are of generous
mold, should not become chilled by the
underlying ice and snow. This was found
impracticable. however, because of the
continued and violent movement of the
crowd. So the girl rolled up the skin and
held it in her arms so that it closely re-

Rome's Rainbow Hued Umbrellas.
One of the common sights Of Rome is
to view the assortment of umbrellas
hoisted on a rainy day. The opportunity
is frequent, for when the drops fall they
do SO on scale so generous that, as dur
ing the present month, the rain continues
three weeks. Under the dome Of the
skies nothing was ever seen to surpass the
parachute picture. The colors of the rain
bow are not more varied. Outside the
rapidly disappearing Roman peasant cos
tune the umbrella has the next greatest
amount of character in it. The rents that
time and accident have made are patched
with any gay looking scrap, and its size
so distended by the elasticity Of the goods
that when opened it covers the sidewalk.
Without his umbrella the peasant is not
at ease. Rain or shine he carries 1t under
his arm, for with him it IS maxim that

walk in the sun rs well as in the wet
Yet he too is ridiculed in the fashionably

THE OLD WAGON.

Book In the lot q little way,
Apart and unprotected,
And slowly wasting, day by day,
A peddler's wagon, In decay,
Lies useless and neglected.
The two front wheels Of the old vain
Are whole and in their places;
Some portions OF the box remain,
And from beneath one might obtain
A set Of thorough-braces.
As yesterday looked it DER,
Thought how maid and matron,
And child, and man of full fourscore,
Had, in the better days of yore,
Each been its frequent patron.
I thought how many heavy load
1t bore for months together,
Through village street, past proud abode,
Along the lonely country road,
In fair and foulest weather.
Now, summer suns, and winter SHOWS,
And frost, and dew, and shower,
And every wrathful wind that blows,
Have it, with nothing to oppose,
Completely in their power.
And keenest pain oppressed my heart,
As still stood recalling
The scenes in which the CASTOR cart
Once played so prominent part
Sad thoughts my spirit palling.
For nothing could conviction hide
That swiftly am hasting
To that sure state each must abide
AS best he may, when, laid aside,
Ones life seems merely wasting.
But then the wagon, now SO wrecked,
Did once its duty duly,
And that to-day in such neglect
1t useless lies, in no respect
Is to be charged it, truly.
It rendered service long and we'll,
Though now forsaken sadly;
And GOULD it on its history dwell,
And past experiences tell,
No doubt 'twould do 30 gladly.
Enough II when old age, that fast
Is ever nearer getting,
Shall end our labors, too, at last,
lie may draw comfort from the past,
With naught to cause regretting.
