captured, hurried to Dublin in chains,
and tried by drumhead court-martial.
Despite a brilliant impassioned plea, in
the course of which he vindicated the
policy of his life. he was condemned
to be hanged within forty-eight hours.
Rather than give them the qualification
of disgracing his uniform and gloating
over his ignominious end, he, unfor
tunately for his reputation as a Chris
tan and man of fortitude, opened a
vein in his neck with the blade of a
penknife. He fingered for a week, and
the government was in favor of TAX
ing him out and strangling him, half
dead and wounded though he was, and
would have done so, only they dreaded
the effect upon the nation. On the 18th
of November he died. adding an hon
ored name to the long roll of Ireland's
iQ-Starred patriots.

He is vain that putteth his trust in

love of Jesus Christ; not to be esteemed
poor in this world Presume not upon

grace of God. who helpeth the humble,
and humbleth those that are proud.
Glory not in wealth if thou have it,
nor in friends because they are power
full. but in God. who giveth all things,
and who desireth to give thee Himself
above all things. Esteem not myself
for the height of thy stature. nor for
the beauty of thy person, which may
be disfigured and destroyed by a little
sickness. Please not thyself in thy
natural gifts or wit, lest thereby thou
displease God. to whom appertaineth
all the good whatsoever thou hast by
nature.

different from the Judgment of men,
and that often offendeth Him which
pleaseth them. If there be any good in
thee, believe that there is much more
in Others that so thou mayest preserve
humility.
1t hurteth thee not to submit to all
men. but it hurteth thee most of all to
prefer thyself even to one.
The humble enjoy continual peace,
but in the heart of the proud is envy
and frequent Indignation.

CHAPTER V.

OF Reading the Holy Scriptures:
Truth. not eloquence, is to be sought
for in Holy Scripture. Each part of
the Scripture is to be read with the
same spirit wherewith it was written.
Rom. XIV 90 We should rather search
after profit in the Scripture than after
subtle arguments. We ought to read
plain and devout books as willingly as
those high and profound. Let not the
authority Of the writer be a stumbling
block. whether he be Of great or small
learning; but let the love of pure truth
draw thee to read. Cor ii (4). Enquire
not who spoke this or that, but mark
what is spoken.
Men pass away. but the truth of the
Lord remaineth forever. Psalm
cXvii ~. tft
God speaks unto US in sundry ways.
without respect Of persons. Luke
xxi $3.50.
our own curiosity often hindereth us
in reading Of the Scriptures. when we
will examine and discuss that which
we should rather pass over without
more ado. If thou desire to profit, read
with humility, simplicity, and faithful
ness; nor ever desire the repute of
learning. Enquire willingly and hear
with silence the words of holy men.
Let not the parallels Of the Elders dis
please thee, for they are not given
without cause. Prov. 90.

ADVENT.

Another Ecclesiastical or Christian
year is passed and gone, with all its
/ sorrows and joys. all it's opportunities
and blessings The new year begins
! with the first Sunday in Advent, Dec.
! g. What does this season mean?
What is it's purpose? 1t is an article
of the faith, which we daily profess in
our creed, and which is taught in
Holy Scripture, that all men Shall rise
again in their bodies a the last day
to be Judged according to their works.
And that He shall come again with
glory to judge both the quick and the
dead The time of Advent cannot be
considered festal, nor can it be classed
among the movable feasts; and yet the
first day of Advent is, in another sense,
movable, inasmuch as it happens alt
ways on the fourth Sunday befOrel
Christmas-which festival itself fallsr
on different days of the week. Adven!e
means coming, and the four Weekto
whereof it consists represent the fouas
thousand years which preceded that
coming of the Son of God into thee
world. I'll
There are certain times and seasonal
in the religious year as well as in I'll
business year that call US for specied
action and attention, and the hoelf
season of Advent that we are about
to enter is one of them. or
Merchants, as you know. take an athe
count of stock at regular intervale;
business concerns of every kind coust
up their gains. So it is with Our Hoeir
Mother Church. Lent and Advent alde

their Importance as a help in worki,le-
out OUR salvation can not be queng
toned. M
Jesus Christ our Saviour is the auth on
of our redemption, and the source elr
all our profit and gain in the concert H.
of the soul. Holy Church, guided \ g
an instinct that is nanifestly diving
has set apart the season before Eout
coming and the season before His ago
and crucifixion as the special times IRE
us to pause and consider what progr9ue
we are making in the way of salvatilad
At this holy season we are speciaplIe
appealed to as loyal children to p3ler
pare for the coming of the InfaiI,iie
Saviour. ~
The voice of Advent is the voice we
Saint John the Baptist crying in t&@a-
wilderness. Prepare We the way of
the Lord, make straight His paths,'
and the spirit of repentance is the
response that is sought in every
Catholic soul. 1t is now the time for
us to- arise from the defilements of sin.
What meaning can this holy season
have to any soul in the state of mortal
sin that does not Immediately resolve
to repentance? If the spirit of Advent
touches us at all, it should make the
sinful pause in their career of sin, the
lukewarm fervant.
Holy Church leads us directly to the
sacraments as they are the only di-
vine antidote against sin.
So let us all seek publication in the
Blood of the Lamb, and thus be pre-
pared to offer due homage to the Babe
of Betheleum.

I know a naughty little elf
Who never can behave himself;
He beats his drum when grandma S cap
Is nodding for q coy nap.
Twas he who tried to scratch his name
Upon a painted picture frame;
Twas he who left the gate united,
Which brindle cow pushed open wide;
Twas he who nibbled Lucy's cake
She took such pains to mix and bake;
And though we blamed the tricky mice
Twas he who cracked its f1uted ice.
This little elf upset the milk;
He tangled aunty's broidery silk;
He went to school with muddy shoes
Though credits very sure to lose.
Against his mammals gentle wish
He took the sugar from the dish;
He lost a pen and spilled the ink;
This elf we call Il didn't think"
We hope and hope some sunny day
This naughty elf will run away,
For oft he makes our spirits sink

And to your little crib 1 crept,
And watched a space thereby;
And then stopped and kissed your brow
For, oh! l love you so
You are too young to know it now,

Some time when. in a darkened place
Where others come to weep.
Your eyes shall look upon a face
Calm in eternal sleep.

But some time you may knowl
Look backward, then, into the years,
And see me here tonight

him nothing to the obtaining of the
peace which he sought. True quietness

of a carnal man, nor in him that is
given to outward things. but in the

It will interest Americans to know
that the citizens Of Madrid always
howl derisively when they SEQ a GER
tain dog that bears fancied resem-
blance to pig. They have named
the dog Mckinley" and his life has
not been worth living since the Span
iards were forced to their knees by a
nation presided over by man bear
ing that name. The artist, William
Bengough, humorously depicts a scene
when Mckinley takes his walks
abroad.
Another of Bengough's pictures
shows feather-fying time in the mar
ket-place in Madrid. Live chickens
are the principal articles of commerce
at this exchange. The senoras, as
may he seen by the picture, are not
always peaceably disposed.
Where all the blind in Madrid come
from is a mystery to Bengough. He
writes that all the streets are haunted
by hundreds of these unfortunates,
who outnumber the other large classes
of beggars. The halt, the MANNED and
the blind abound in Madrid since the
war. Most of these unfortunates
claim to have come by their injuries
fighting the terrible Americans.
