On the way across the Pacific to
San Francisco. a gang of British COW
ards and lickspittles, headed by Il
North of ireland Presbyterian parson
named Meharry, behaved in most
disgusting and offensive fashion to-
wards Mrs. Grey. They lost no op-
pOrtunity of insulting the lady; and
they went so far as to send n "deputa-
ton including the worthy parson. to
the captain of the vessel with re-
quest that Mrs. Grey be removed from
the saloon to the steerage. The cap
tain, an Irishman named Carey, sent
the fellows about their business very
quickly. In San Francisco and New
York the travellers met hosts Of friends
and admirers; and when the magni-
tude and reality of the sacrifice for
the sake of principle made by Mr..
Grattan Grey is considered, Irishmen

The Monk and His Work.

Some Protestant writer's cannot re-
fer to the monks without calling them
lazy and ignorant. They were neither
the one nor the other. They were in
dustrious in preserving the records Of
past ages and were the literati of the
times in which they lived. An esteem
ed friend of the Irish Standard at st.
Johns University, Collegeville, Minn.,
has sent copy of the Travellers Rec
ord, of Hartford, Conn.,, which has q
picture of monk engaged in copying
a manuscript, the same being taken
with Acknowledgements from the Art
Magazine. The following sketch of
''The Monk and His Work" is given
in connection with the illustration, and
written as it is by Protestant, it is
emincntly fair in the treatment Of the
subject:
Our monk is evidently amused. In
his eye beams beneficent satisfaction;

To him and his kind we owe much.
The best thoughts of the old philoso-
pliers and poets, the history Of past

have been preserved to us mostly
through his labors; much also Of moral
ity and virtue in an age when civiliza-'
tion seemed vanquished.
In the breaking up Of the old So
ciety which we trace from the fifth to
the eighth century, ignorance grew
apace. To the men of that day it
must have seemed that the world was
sinking into barbarism. The arts, the
sciences, the culture. all that was best
in the old civilization, seemed to have
shared the fate of all that was worst
and been swept into oblivion.

The Church and the Dying.

The Catholic Church never ceases
cradle to the grave she never loses
sight of them. BY baptism she makes
man a child of God, II co-heir of Christ;
in pcnancc she clcanses him from sin,
and she prepares him by the sacra-
mental grace of Extreme Unction to
enter on immortality. A great French
writer. speaking of the Sacrament of
the Sick, says:
But it is at sight of the tomb, the
silent portico of another world, that
Christianity unfOlds it's sublimity. If
the greater part of the ancient religions
have cOnsccratcd the ashes Of the
dead, not one of them has thought to
prepare the soul for those unknown
shores from which it never returns.
In order to see the most beautiful
spectacle that the earth can present
you must see the Christian die. That
man is no longer the man OF the
world he belongs no longer to his
country; all his relations with society
have ceased. For him the calculation
by time is ended, and he dates now
only with the great era Of eternity. A
priest seated at his pillow consoles
him This holy minister cOmmuncs
with the dying one upon the immOr-
tality of his soul, and the sublime
scene thai the entire antiquity has pre-
Scntcd but IL single time, in the first
of it's dying philosophers, is renewed
every day upon the pallet of the lowest
Gn statiom Of the dying Christians.
At last the supreme moment has ar
rived; Sacrament has opened the
gates of the world to this just man,
n Sacrament closes them upon him;
religion balances him in the cradle of
life; its beautiful songs and its matcri-
i'll hand still will lull him to sleep in
the cradle of death. 1t prepares the
baptism for the second birth; but it is
no longer water that it chooses. it is
oil, the emblem Of celestial incorrnpt-
ibility. The libcrlting Sacrament
breaks little by little the earthly ties
of the faithful one; his soul, half cs-
capped from his body, becomes almost
visible upon his countcnancr. Already
he hears the music Of the Scraphim;
now he is ready to fly away towards
those regions where that divine Hope,
the daughter of Virtue and Of Death,
is beckoning him. In the meantime
the angel of peace, descending towards
this righteous one, touches his weary
eyes with his sceptre Of gold, and
closes) them delightfully."- to the light
