PUBLIC LIBRARIES DENOUNCED.


Public Libraries are not such an in
stitution in the country as free schools
are, but they are held in much the
same esteem. They are seldom de-
nounced, but the one in Fort Wayne,
IND, was last Sunday by the vicar-gen-
eral of that diocese, the Very Rev.
rather Brammer He said the public
library OF that place contained books
that no Catholic should read, and posi-
lively forbade Catholics to take books
out or to allow their children to do so.
They are not very likely to obey the
injunction.
what seems to have reused the ire
OF rather Brammer was book in the
library on the Jesuits, Footprints of
the Jesuits," which he characterized as
most untruthful book, libelling some
OF the Durest and most eminent men
OF the Catholic church; in fact a very
tissue OF falsehoods. To permit Cath

book would be to poison their minds.
1t would be pretty pious minded child
who would call for such a book and his
parents might very safely be left to de-

upon the childs mind.
The father said Catholics ought 10
have representation on the library com
mittee, that books assaulting the Cath
Ollie church and its best representatives
should be excluded. If that is so, then
every other religious denomination in
Fort Wayne should have a like repre-
sentative. BY the time each had exclud-
ed the books it though Objectionable
what would be left would injure no
child's mind, because no child on earth
would ever visit the library. Father
Brammers zeal has far outrun his good
judgment

HAUNTED HOUSES.

All houses wherein men have lived and
died
Are haunted houses. Through the open
doors
The harmless phantoms on their errands
With feet that make no sound upon the
floors,
We meet them at the doorway on the
Along the passages they come and go,
Impalpable Impressions on the air,
A sense of something moving to and
There are more guests at table than the
hosts
Invited; the Illuminated hall
Is thronged with quiet, inoffensive ghosts,
AS silent as the pictures on the wall.
The stranger at my fireside cannot see
The forms L see, nor hear the sounds
hear;
He but perceives what is, while unto me
All that has been is visible and clear.
We have no title deeds to house or lands;
Owners and occupants of earlier dates
From graves forgotten stretch their dusty
hands,
And hold in mortmain still their old es-
The spirit world around this world OF
sense
Floats like an atmosphere, and every
where
Watts through these earthly mists and
vapors dense,
A vital breath of more ethereal air.
Our little lives are kept in equipoise
By opposite attractions and Desires
The struggle of the instinct that enjoys,
And the more noble instinct that aspires
These perturbations, this perpetual jar
OF earthly wants, and aspirations high;
Come from the influence of an unseen
star,
An undiscovered planet in our sky.
And as the moon. from some dark gate
of cloud
Throws Ger the sea a floating bridge OF
light,
Across whose trembling planks our fancies
crowd
Into the realm of mystery and night
SO from the world of spirits there de-
sends
A bridge of light, connecting it with
this,
Ger whose unsteady floor. that sways and
bends,
Wander our thoughts above the dark
abyss.
