A gentleman who once lived at Lo-
retto, in PENNSYLVANIA, hallowed by the
presence and ministry of the holy
priest, Prince Demetrius GallitziD, tells
the following anecdote of him: Once
there came to the gate Of the mission
ary's humble recto1y stranger of re-
pulsi7e mien, ragged and forlorn, the
ve,y picture Of abysmal human wretch
edness. No one in that locality had
ever seen him before. and his appear
ance was SO abject and revolving that
it made a lasting impression on all be-
holders. Father Gallitzin approached
the unbidden guest, warmly saluted
bi n. shook bis hand, and asked the man
what he could do for him. The reply
Was: II am without food ana shelter,
and have not cent in the world" The
priest, beholdiug in this outcast his
brother and neighbor, III the Sc1lptural
sense, bade him share such hospitality
as the place afforded. He said: "You
can get meal and a bed will be pro-
vided for you, my friend" Together
prince priest and beggar entered the
house, and sat down 10 simple repast.
The best bed in the house. was placed at
the strangers disposal. After break
fast, next morning, the man rose to de-
part, and the priest tender]Y accom-.
panied him to the gate, while the house
keeper, wondering, aud, perchance, not
over-pleased at entertai ling tramDs,
watched the movement Of the twain.
AT the portal, Father Galli;zin, with
his blessing, bade the man farewell,
and delicately pressed into his hand
silver half-dollar. Hardly had he done
so, when, TO the amazement of the wit
nesses, the beggar vanished instantly
FROM sight, as it he bad been thing Of
air! Was Chis repetition Of the ex~
perience Of St. Francis Of Assist, who
sharing his raiment with leper, knew
Instantly afterWard that he had succOr-
ed Christ Himself unaware! The
plous people OF Lorstto to this day have
no doubt of this incident, and many
others Of a miraculous nature. indeed
it is source of grief to some Of them
that the peatlfcation Of Prince Gallit-
zin has not yet been entered upon.
Not long ago, priest. In this vicin-
ity, mourned over the lameness of his
horse, because it partially 1ncapacltated
him for remote missionary duty. at
this iuncture, bis attention was at
tracted bv voices in the hall Of his par
sonage, and, on Inquiry, soon atterward
was told that halt-witted boy, known
to every body in the towu, had come to
call him to the dying bed Of his father,
fourteen miles away. AS soon as the
messags was delivered. the boy had re-
turned home. or, at least, left that pres
ence The priest instantly started for
the public stable to borrow horse, and
heard from the liveryman that the boy
had been there also and stated that his
father was dying, and that he had come
for the priest. In the very nick of time
aud wi5h not moment to spare, the
PRIEST approached the diving map, re-
ceiyed his confession and administered
the last rites. When all was Over, the
widow asked the Father bow he had
known, Of this extremity, and expressed
the anguish felt lest her husband should
leave this world without the Sacra-
ments. The startled pl isst replied that
the w0man's own son had, by proxy,
furnished the. .intelli yence. The widow,
equally amazed with the priest, de-
clared that her son had never left the
house the whole time, and. to her GER
tain knowledge. had not been to the
town or away from his home.
