London Telegraph.
Another bold book. which merits more
attention than has hitherto been devoted
to it, has been written by NJ. Jean de
Bonnefon, the French journalist who
was expelled from Berlin on a
famous occasion. The volume,
entitled 'Le Pape de Demain," contains
a strong protest against the increasing
tendency on the part of the Vatican to
turn the Roman Catholic church into an
Italian vestry, and to bow down before
the behests OF Germany.
After having vented his spleen on the
Italian ecclesiastlcs, NJ. de Bonnefon
has nothing but compliments for Car
dinals Lavigerie, Newman, Manning
and Gibbons. The French cardinal, of
course, stands first in his estimation,
and so great is Mgr. Lavlgerie's in
fluence at the Vatican that, according
to his champion and felloW-countryman
the Macchiavellis of the pope's palace
do their utmost to keep him from COM
ing in contact with his holiness; never
theleSs. the African archbishop and
anti-slavery apostle always manages to
repel his foes with the boldness of an
American 'interviewer," and succeeds
in seeing the pope whenever he likes.
In the chapter headed 1.-The Cardinals
of her Gracious Majesty" NJ. de Bonne-
fon sketches Cardinals Moran, Man
ming, Newman, Howard. His chief
English hero is John Henry Newman,
who, he says, ''is regarded with
much more favor at the Vatican than

for such contribution has oftentimes
spurred many an old skinf1int member to
increase his or her accustomed weekly
offering. Besides, the presence of gold
in the collection is so unusual that the
pride of the collector is touched, and.
apeing the storekeeper, he is anxious
to exhibit to the public the best goods
of the establishment.
Many dollars find their way into the
collection. 1t is a substantial offering,
and one annually resorted to by the sue
cessful merchant. AS he drops the
heavy coin on the plate, the self-com-
placent smile rising from the deeply-cut
mouth, broadening over the wide facial
area and disappearing behind the spot

member. He is not ashamed of his con-
tribution; the world may know it. But
we are not all successful merchants,
and consequently find that the quarter
is a coin largely favored by the people.

Many people would be surprised to
know the actual number of nickels that
make up the collections weekly taken
in city churches. A gentleman of wide
experience in these matters-he is an
individual spoken of as being burdened
with "broad views" having been sue
cessively connected with the Congrega
tional, Methodist and Baptist churches
informs me that fully one-half of
these collections are made up of nick
els. Another fact: The more fashion
able the church, he said, the more
nickels do you find. But the nickel is
not to be despised. A well-known city
minister was the other day heard to re-
his church each contributed a nickel per
week, the yearly income would be in
creased by $1,600. At present the col
lection averaged but 81 per individual

out the city.

they give aims. Church collections are
now almost universally taken on plates;
bags are gradually being discarded.
There are many reasons for this, but
one in particular. 1t has been found
that with plates people contribute more
literally. Jones will never be outdone
by Smith, and if the former placed a
dollar on the plate the latter Is certain
to do the same. But with the bag no
one saw or knew what his neighbor
contributed, and as a consequence
copper preponderated over silver.
It is also well-known fact that
foreign coins, buttons. trinkets and
poker chips have thus found their way
into the collection. All this is prevented
by the plate. Its openness appeals to
the vanity of the people, and, in addi-
ton to getting them to contribute more
largely of their means, has also rem
dered impossible that two-faced aims

tended to foster.

place it on the plate. This is not so
with the nickel or cent. To let the
plate pass you is awkward. To meet its
requirements with nickel or a cent is
more awkward still. The coin has TO be
completely covered by the forefnger
and thumb OF the right hand. and when
the plate is before you you neatly place
it thereon. There is no dropping in
this case. The offering is done decently
and in Order-it is almost case of the
left hand not knowing what the right

Hearken again to the mad sweet tune
Birds were singing with might and maini
South they flew at the summers Wane.
Leaving their nests for storms to harry,
Since time was coming for wind and rain
Under the Wintry skies to marry.
Yearly wander by dale and dune
Footsteps fettered with clanking chain,
Free they were in the days of June;
Free they never can be again.
Fetters of age and letters or pain,
Joys that fly and sorrows that tarry;
Youth is over and hope were vain
Under the wintry skies to marry.
Now we chant but desolate rune
'Oh. to be young and alive againl''
But never December turns to June,
And length of living is length of pain.

Shows OF winter about us larry:
And never the birds come back again

Though the morning may be dreary,
And the day be long and weary,
Though the clouds may darby lower
And the tempest fercely frown,
We shall quite forget the shadows
That have fingered in the meadows,
If there be golden hour
When the sun goes down.
What though fate our hope opposes,
What though thorns shut out the roses,
And the cross be borne in sorrow
That we carry to the crown,
By and by we'll cease to wander
And we'll rest forever yonder
If there dawns a bright tomorrow
When life's sun goes down.
