A Song of Season.

Winter time my dearie,
Is glooming on the hills
Little less of music
In the ripple of the r!lls.
And birds that once were singing sweet
Will soon forget to sing.
But love is still a rose my dear,
And winters sweet as springl
What though the SHOWS are drifting
What though the mlsts are gray
And violets are fair, far dream
In phantom fields of May?
What though the streams have lost their
CLEANS
And birds forget to singS
There's music IN the heart. my dear.
And winters sweet as springi

GRANNY'S "YARBS."

She dosed the boy with calomel.
Then gave him catnip tea
And yet he didn t feel quite we'll
He had the grip, you see.
She gave him tansy, boneset, squi1ls
Rubbed tallow on his chest y
And fed him lots of blue mass pills,
Which quickly did the rest
By this time John could not get up,
And as he lay in bed
She drenched him from quassia cup
Till he was nearly dead.
And when at last the doctor came
And fetched poor Johnny round
Folks said. - Twas granny, all the same,
Kept him above the ground"

New Catholic Church at White Sui
phur SprinRa.

On the 9th ult., Immediately after
mass. photograph of the Old Catholic
Church at White Sulphur was taken,
and i'll few hours after the quaint and
odd little edifice, which had served the
congregation there as place in which
to worship for several years, was razed
to the ground.
1t was originally intended as tenn
porary affair until a better church could
be built, and was an humble little.struc-
ture to say the least-23x3S feet and IA
feet high-was built of rough boards,
stood on end and weather stripped, a
double door Ill front, four small win
dows and little cross from the roof
were all that greeted the eye on the out
side, save coat of white wash on the
walls; and on the inside, little altar,
enclosed by railing, a small niche used
for Sacristy, plain benches and bare
walls is all that could be said of the lit
tie Cathedral, but now it is all a thing
OF the past. A new era has dawned on
the Catholics of White Sulphur. The
long-talked-of new church at that place
is an assured fact now. Work on the
foundation began several days ago.
The site selected for this church is a
beautiful one. indeed, opposite St.
Thomas L. f.. Church on the White
Sulphur grounds. 1t will be built of
brick, trimmed in stone, and when COM
pleted will be an ornament as well as a
much-needed building. 1t will cost
about $500, and for the present will be
Quilt In the shape of the letter Il, and
when completed at some future time, if
necessity calls for it, will be cruciform.
The work on the church will be pushed
with all possible speed. The corner
stone will be laid in a few weeks with
the usual imposing ceremonies, and the
building will be put under roof before
winter sets in, and will be finished and
dedicated before the opening of the next
season.
Rev. Father Schilpp and his congre.
CATION and their friends are bending all
their energies to the accomplishment
of the undertaking with the least DOS
sible delay. The Rey. Father has
planned and will superintend the cree.
ton himself, and is really to be con.
graduated for the interest and zeal he
has manifested in this undertaking. He
has already received some very hand.
some and substantial personal gifts,
which he has very generously donated
to the church, and besides this he has
within the last two months collected
about $3.50 in cash and has some prom
ises which will he paid in the near fu.
ture, making about $1,000 in all, and
has taken upon himself, as his share of
the work, the arduous task of raising
the remaining 81 800.

laying of the corner stone will be given
later, and, if possible, reduced rates or
