Pope Leo NILS hands are nearly

THE BLESSING OF DEATH.
Cheerful View OF the End of Nluut1asr
Existence.

A Cheerful Wow OF the End OF Nluudasre
Existence.
The truth is, that death, far from
being misfortune to the race, is per-
haps even to the individual the great
est of all earthly blessings, though it is
often enough a blessing very much dis
guised. For without death for finite
beings, there could be no growth, and
still more, no means of distinguishing
the human characteristics which need
no growth, but, on the contrary, the
opposite of growth. The most wide
minded of the Apostles declared, and
declared in no vague and metaPhorical
mood, that he died daily. II protest
by your rejoicing, which have in
Christ Jesus our Lord, 1 die daily"
startling, and yet most deliberate, was
to the same effect: ''As dying, and be-
hold we live, having nothing and
yet possessing all things" What did
death mean to st. Paul? It meant sur
rendering the hold on all tina his great
and passionate nature eagerly graspcd
at and yet gladly and loyalty surren-
dering it, when he felt that that in him
which was nearest to God required it

The true kind of death, which is as
essential to life as-to use our Lords
own language-the death of the corn
or wheat is to it's bringing forth much
seems to be of the very heart that is in
you, what it makes your head swim to
contemplate giving up. at the whisper
which claims it from you in the name
of Him who gave it. AS the seed APP
pears to rot before it even begins to
grow, and to draw from earth and air
the constituents of its larger life, so
on all that is most precious at the very
moment at which it is beginning to
learn most effectua1ly how truly inval-
liable it is Death is, indeed, by the tes-
timony of all who have valued life as
they ought, one of the most unique of
its experiences. You loosen your grasp
on what is far more than yourself, and
only when you do SO does it really be-
come part of yourself. The senses
reel, the heart grows giddy, at losing
that which, till you have lost it-or at
least have gone through all the panic
of losing it-you never truly gained.
What we usually call death is only
the final and full consu NINA ton of this
process of loosening the eager grasp of
the ~vilful heart on possessions in the
pride of which it has seemed to become
its true self, though in reality it never
becomes its true self. and never really
possesses what it thinks it possesses,
till it has achieved the triumph Of re-
signing them and commanding even
its own spirit into the hands of Him
who gave it. If we could indeed dis
cover what is undiscovered BILE, the true
..nicrobe of DEATH" then, instead of
invoking the power of the expert to
extinsuish it, we should regard it as
the most inestimable of Gods gifts.

But His Magic Couldn't Keep Him Out of

The latest sorcerer is a coachman,

One of his victims was girl who

The young man could not be induced

married in the beginning of February.
She put a certain sum of money down

One venerable dame declared that
she was delighted with the magician,
as he evicted an evil spirit from her
ha bitation.
She had called on him with her
daughter. and he had told them that
the house was bewitched.
On the receipt of the sum of eighteen
francs the coachman paid her visit,
and, after shutting himself up in the

the average for this time of year.
Corn is ripening rapidly, is generally
well cared, and much of the crop has
already been cut; the fodder of many
fields that has not been cults drying
badly. Wheat seeding where not com
pleted is progressing rapidly, and the
ground is generally in good condition..
fields that were sown early are coming
on nicely, with but few exceptions.
Tobacco is nearly all cut. Potatoes
are being dug, and some fields are
rotting. Rye is being sown. Fodder.

quality. Fruit is being gathered, and
