A Fable of two Brothers.

A certain man was hanged, that he
died. And he left two sons, honest
men.
Now, one of the sons was a black
smith. But the other become physi-
clan.
And after that their father had been
taken from them, these brothers made
their homes in other lands
And the blacksmith would have pros
pered. But it befell that one asked
him how his father made end: And
the blacksmith, looking angrily upon
him. answered: 'He was hanged" For
the blacksmith was an honest man,
Howheit, presently, when horse was
missing, men gathered and hanged the
blacksmith, saying: This man must
take after his father" So the black
smith did take after his father; but
whether he caught up with him the
tale telleth not
city, one inquired of the physician by
what means his father died. And the
physician covered face and wept.
But whilst he wept he considered,
saying within himself: IF say, he
was hanged then shall | shock this
man and give him pain; and it is my
office to relieve pain. Nevertheless, |
must tell the truth"
He said, therefore: my father died
of heart failure" And again he wept,
the questioner weeping with him.
Then, this being told, men said;
Doubtless, since his father died of
heart failure. this good physician and
loving son hath made study of kindred
diseases" So they resorted unto him.
And the physician became special
list. And ne looked at them who came
and coughed once and sneezed twice
and demanded 800. And they gave
gladly. For the physician was an hon
est man.

A Girls Ideas of Marriage.

A young girls ideas of marriage are
very nebulOus and defined, writes Mrs.
Burton Kingsland in the fifth paper in
the series, "a Daughter at Sixteen" in
the October Ladies' Home Journal.
She rarely looks beyond the prestige"
of being engaged" the trousseau, the
wedding festivities, the novelty of be-
ing the mistress of a house, and the
adored being whose projections are the
constant theme of the ideal young hus-
band. Her imagination rarely carries
her farther than the first year or two of
married life, when the novelty having
passed, she must fall back upon the
character of the man she has chosen to
build her happiness upon.
Parents know how fieeting the pas
sions of youth sometimes are, and how
they fail in inharmonious conditions.
They know that where the girl loves
the ideal she creates, rather than the
reality that exists, there will come a
time of awakening, and her love may
die, though the bond remain.
Worldly considerations are stronger
with the old than with the young, and
the most common parental objections
are on the ground of insufficient means.
''All for love, and the world we'll lost, "
has always been the lovers creed, but
the parents foresee that when a man
feels the weight of family upon him,
whom he can barely support, depress-
ing influences set in. His health fails
perhaps; care and anxiety rob him of
the youthful attractions that won her
heart; he may become querulous and
exacting, and love itself have a hard
struggle for existence.
T. F. Anthony, Ex-Postmaster of
Promise City, Iowa, says: 81 bought
one bottle of Mystic Cure for Rheu-
matism and two doses of it did me
more good than all the medicine ever
took" Sold by W. M. Allen, Druggist,

that the amount of paper money re-

that It may be a successful piece
of work.

and there were no happier people in Nor
folk last Sunday than the members of

The solemn High mass at 10 O'Clock
was celebrated by the new pastor, the
Rev. f. Leinagh, chaplain of the Hospi-
tai acting as deacon and Rev. l.. j. Vel
Defe as subdeacon. Rev. j. r. Slattery
preached the sermon. He explained the
meaning and purpose of churches. At
all times, he said in part, special places
were set apart for the worship of the AL
mighty, thus we read that Jacob dedi-
Gated special place for prayer, and it
wAs there he saw that ladder reaching
rom earth to heaven and angels ascend
ing and descending. Ascending to carry
mems prayers to the throne of God. De-
seendlnE to bring graces from God to

command worshipped in the tabernacle
and when peace reigned everywhere Sol
omon built q magnificent temple. The
ilrst christians conducted their worship
mostly IN private houses. Whenever and
wherever sufficient liberty was given.
churches sprung up every where.
But can we not pray as well at home Z?
Why have churches To pray in secret
is very good and necessary. But we are
OF mere individuals we are members

La conclusion he declared the church

arers to love their church and above
live up to their faith and thus spread
out them the good order of Christ.

Observation-Disclosures OF its First
Pastor.

Last Sunday, May 90, was a red let
fer day for the colored catholics of Nor
folk, Va, when their first pastor, Rev.
Wiersma was installed with appropriate
solemnity. The large, handsome build
ing on Queen ST., near Brewer. was fin
ished just one year ago. The first floor
is the school containing four large class
rooms while the upper story forms a
very attractive chapel, seating about
800. The beautiful stone altar is the
gift of the Rev. j. Dougherty, the pastor
of st. Mary's. With such a fine buildings
the colored catholics of Norfolk had rea-
son to be proud. But what is the use OF
having church without a priest So
far the pastor of st. Joseph's Richmond
had conducted a monthly service with
which the people could hardly be expect
| ed to be satisfied. Long and earnestly
did they pray to get a priest to stay
with them. After many disappoint.
