animals talk, and they stell this story in
; confirmation Of the assertion. One Christ
mas eve O farm servant went to confession
by way Of preparation for the sacrament.
: The church was some distance off, SO that
when he reached home it was late. and to
avoid disturbing his master he went to bed
= in a hay loft over the barn. Underneath
was q stall in which was pair of oxen.
The man fell asleep, but was soon awaken
ted by the sound Of voices Listening, be
heard one say to another, Let us blow out
this fellows light of life"
l. NO" was the reply. 'He has been to
7confcssion today and tomorrow will 60 to
Se Lords table. We cannot do it,"
\, isBut he has heard us and will repeat
hat we have said"
mo matter. BE quiet and let us pray.
The time viii soon be gone in which we
have the power TO do SO.

their knees making the sign of the cross

With regard to this last prophecy. the
Pail Mall Gazette pointed out in 1853 how
curiously correct were the events Of that
year, following the falling of Christmas day
on Monday in 1865. 1t was remarked OF
three of the prophecies that the wind lasted
in 1866 from January to May; that war
was ended by the battle of Sadowa, when
the Prussians and Austrians were in con-
'fiict, and that the cattle plague was in full
swing, being legacy of the outburst of the
rinderpest of 1865. Manchester Times.
