The RELIGION of the Irish Soldier.

There is still another, and perhaps
more important than any sustalnlog
power which the Irish soldier has: He
believes in his religion. With him it is
faith and reality. 1t is not fash
| ionabIa iufideIity or q formal observ-
ance. His priests are always with him
ready to give him advice and religious
comfort in life and sbrive him 10 death,
and bear his last message to those near
and dear to him, far away He sees
and knows that the hand Of his Church
| is around him and about him; that her
intercesslons with his Savior, in whom
he trusts, will plead for his sins as he
| passes through the dark valley and
shadow OF death, and in full faith he re-
lias on her for his hereafter. He listens
to her Offices and recognizes her ordi-
! nances, and partakes of her sacraments
in the field. and commits his soul to her
keeping before the humble and rude
altar, raised perhaps with drums piled
one on top of the other, and draped
with the flag that he is about to follow
in battle. as cheerful]y. and implicitly,
and reverent]y as he does IN the arched
Cathedral, where the Holy Mass is in
toned with the accompaniment of the
rich swelling music OF the peallng
organ, before an altar decorated and
enriched by all that art and piety can
best bestow to make it worthy OF the
service of God, to which it IS dedicated.
Without intending to institute any
comparison between the chaplains Of
the Catholic regiments and those de-
nominations. may be permitted to say
that the Catholic clergy were fully
equal to the duty imposed upon them.
and in all their ministrations seemed to
show that they strove to do their whole
duty to those whose souls were en-
trusted to their care, rather in obedi-
ence to the ordinances Of the Church, of
which they were members. than with
any regard to army regulation or the
authority Of temporal power

The Pintsch System of Lighting Passenger
Trains With Gas.
The l'intsch system of lighting by

by competent judges to be the best
known means of car illumination.
! 1t is safe under any and all circum-

Sphere changes. Burns more steadily
than any other light in use. Although
very bIi liant it is soft and agreeable.
1t emtts no smoke, is Odorless and per-
fectly clean.
1t is 50 effective and evenly distrib-
uted that travellers in any part of the
car can read easily and comfortably.
1t is simple ia operation, absolutely
reliable and OF constant quality.
Although this system has been in use
on some Of the leading lines in tue East
and 10 Europe for some time, the credit
OF first lntroddcj 1g it in tne North west
belongs to THE North w estern Line"

The vestlbuled trains on this line,
leaving Minneapolis at $50 p. M, st.

with this gas.
In additi N to the superior arrange
ment and comfort of the sleeping cars
on the vestibuled limited, this brilliant
light adds to the appearance OF the Car,

selves as delighted with this method OF

OF Interest to Our Subscribers.
The following are the decisions OF the
United States Court on the subject Of
newspaper subscribers:
l. Subscribers who do not give express
notice to the contrary are considered as
wishing to renew their subscriptions
2. If subscribers order the discontiu
uance of their periodicals, the publisher
may continue to send them until all ar
rearaees are paid.
8. IT subscribers neglect or refuse to
take their periodicals from the Post
Office to which they are directed, they
are responsible until they have settled
their bills and ordered them discontlr-
ued.
4. If subscribers move to other places
without ioforming the publisher, and
the papers are sent to the former ad-
dress, they are held responsible.
S. The courts have decided that re-
fusing to take periodicals from the Of
fee, or removing ard leaving them un
called for. is prlma facis evidence OF
Intentional fraud.
g. If subscribers pay in advance, they
are bound to give notice at the end of
the time, if they do not wish to COZ
t1nue taking l.: otherwise the publisher
is authorized to send it, and the sub
scriber will be responsible until an ex-
press.notlce with payment of all arrea1-
ages, is sent to the publisher.
The latest postal laws are such that
newspaper publishers can arrest any
one for fraud who takes paper and re-
fuses to pay for it. Under this law the
man who allows his subscl ipJiOn to run
along for some time unpaid and then
orders it Discontinued, or orders the
postmaster TO mark it Refused" and
have q postal card sent notifying the
publisher leaves himself liable to arrest

And is it true I'll see once more
The scenes of long ago?

And thought the toll filled day
No present hue of dark or bright

My Erin oge machree.
The young friends that knox are gone,
The grass grows O or the old,
Dimu1ed are the eyes that loveit shone,
And warm hearts have grown cold.
Through happy homes the winds make moan
The cattle wander free,
All things are changed save thee alone,

The sun still lights upon thy hills
And smiles along thy shore,
And laut hing leapthe ripping rtlls
That laughing leaped of yore.
The h,ackbird's note is blithe as when
1t filled my soul with glee,
wac as blithe and careless then,
My Erin ogo machree.
I'll seek thee in the dewy glen
And by the sounding wave,
And hear thy kindly voice again

KILDARE.

The continuous wet weather that has
characterised the month of August has
seriously injured harvest prospects in
the southern portion Of Kildare and the
adjoining districts OF Carlow and
Queens County. The oat ard barley
crops are in many places in sad state,
from the heavy rains, and while they
promised few weeks ago to be abun-
dant. there are now very little hopes of
their being profitable. Potato blight
has set in in several districts, especially
around Carlow, where the tubers are
becoming decaYed.

The condition of the crops in the

apprehensions. According to even the

whether spell of fine weather can now
repair the injury that has been done;
but the general opinion is that unless
there is an immediate improvement in
the weather, the harvest will be most
backward one, and very serious loss Will
be entailed on the farming community.

Continuing, Primeau expressed the opin-
