FATHER MATHEW.
The Huntlretth Anniversary Of the Great
PhiIanthr0Dist,

The Hundredth Anniversary of the Great
Philanthropist.
The 10th of October, 1890, will be the
hundredth anniversary of the birth of
one who was not only an exemplary
Christian minister and an ornament to
an illustrious religious order, but one
of the greatest philanthropists and ben
efactors of mankind that ever lived
His universal charity embraced all
sorts and conditions of men, and took
practical form chiefly in the promotion
of temperance, of which he was justly
styled the apostle, and in the advance
ment Of which he labored many years
in both hemispheres, and in various
countries.
His exertions bore fruit in the moral
and social regeneration of countless
thousands of his fellow-men, and his
spirit still survives in the numerous
organizations all over the world which
continue his great work of upholding
the banner of total abstinence.
Bearing these facts in mind, it has
been recognized as an imperative duty,
by his followers and admirers, that his
centenary should be everywhere cele-
brated with as much eclat and soleln.
nifty as it is possible to invest it with.
Among the enduring emorjals OF
his zeal for the divine honor and the
salvation of souls, which Fathe,
Mathew left behind him, is the Church
of the Most Holy Trinity, Charlott.

ton of new books from America ana
Europe. At present it contains abous
5000 volumes, embracing treatlses on
dogmatic and moral theology, canon
law, the scripture, philosophy, liturgy,
apologetics, history, ecclesiastical anu
civil. Many of these works are rare
and very valuable. The Oriental Ian
guages are we'll represented, especially
the Arabic and Syriac. Among the rare
books there are several immense vol
umes illustrative of Egyptian monu-
ments now out of print; also complete
collection of the pamphlets on the
Vatican Council, bound in twenty-three
volumes. Nearly all the languages are
represented in these pamphlets; they
were collected by the Rev. Theodore a.
Metcalf in Rome in 1871, and are exceed
ingly valuable. Meanwhile, the mem
beers of the faculty have their private
libraries, some of them being very
valuable. Bishop Keane has an ex-
cellent collection of books, including
some rare volumes, while DR.. Hyvernat
has probably the most valuable private
library in the University. 1t fills four
rooms and numbers over 1000 volumes,
some of them being very large, and is
particularly rich in Oriental literature.
The Doctor has sixty or seventy old
manuscripts which, if we may deal in
dollars and cents when speaking ofsuch
treasures, are worth over 81 900 dollars
each.

of theology, which the learned owner
has used to good advantage. The
library of another is well-stocked with
books on the natural sciences. The
librarian of the University is the Rev.
Father Orban He delights to intro
duce his visitors to his intimate friends
of the library; and although many Of
them lived in distant ages and foreign
lands, they are we'll known by the rev-
erend Librarian. He has labored assidu~
ously to classify and arrange the books,
which, under his trained and intelligent
supervision, have been placed in the
various alcoves SO as to be easily found
by the students, for whom the library
is especially intended.

Everywhere goldl
Mems hearts are sold
And welded to gold;
And they tighten the links OF their slavtsh
chains,
And greedily gloat DER their sordid gains.
In the crowded street
Where the people meet,
And hurriedly greet
They talk OF gold, If they talk at all
OF the yellow gold, and its rise and fall
TITS the magnet strong
Which hurries along
The feverish throng
Toward the destined mart, where fraud anu art
And all things evil enact their part.
TITS the nation king
And the people bring
To this impious thing
All the homage due to that God alone
Who will try each heart on His judgment
throne.
TITS the test OF worth:
And the coarsest earth
OF plebeian birth
Grows fine and precious when gold transforms
The vulgar rich into Haunting worms.
Conscience and truth,
Beauty and youth
Fen lie, lOrSOOt0
All fall prey to this god OF power,
And we forfeit Heaven for Mammon's dover.
It's glamor lies
On the maidens eyes
Who barters the prize
OF priceless heart, for it's trappings vain,
And blackens her soul with perjury's stain.
Corruptible gold!
The ulccrous sore
In the hearts foul core.
Thou coverest DER;
And the leprous spots show white and fair,
We hear thy tone
In the widows moan
And the orphans groan,
And the plant Of the poor, in the last great
day,
Shall witness the curse OF thy murderous sway
In the lawyers plea
TITS plain to see
That the yellow fee
Is mightier, far, than the righteous cause,
And for gold he mangles the sacred laws.
In the gorgeous fame
We note with pain
Thy rampant reign,
Where the purse proud man, anA the Phar1see,
And the supplied priest all worship thee.

We are bought and sold:
And If half were told
OF the nonstrous crimes which are wrought BY

Wander through my waving hair;
But go cropping through the vastness

Ger my face his namo has scrawled,
DO you think that you can love me
Just the same if am bald3
When my brow shall shame the tombston
AS it rises bland and bare,
Write thereon: "This slab is sacren
To his late lamented hair"
Like grinning skull TIL haunt you
Till your senses stand appalled,.
Can you brave the test, my darling,
Will you love me when I'm bald7
When my present jctty ringlcts
Have not died, but gone before,
And until go to meet thom

Der my helpless pate have crawled,
And have to wear Q nightcap,
Will you love me when I'm bald?

whirled the falling snow.

1t was desperate struggle. For all

his big, generous heart was beating
strangely.
Mingled with the satisfaction Of being

was another feeling that thrilled and

Kidding tho Eyes of Cinders.

There are very simple ways of getting
foreign substances out of tho eye. A
glass of water is filed to the brim, in
which the ego should be immersed until
the object floats out. The upper lid
placed over the lower is a remedy wide
ly known. AS good one as any, and
accessible wherever hax-seed can be OBJ
tanned, is to place a grain of flax-seed
under the lower lid and close the lids.
Tho seed becomes surrounded by a thick
mucilage, which entraps the foreign
body and soon carries it out from the
angle of the eye.
