THE DYING SOLDIER.
Only One Isolated Incident of New
Historic Battlefield

Just below the stone fort at Caney
sitting in the middle of the pineapple
field, l came upon pitiful sight-a
soldier sitting on the ground, holding
in his lap the head of a poor fellow
who was literally shot to pieces. One
bullet had gone through his head an
other through his lungs and chest,
tearing horrible hole, from which
the blood poured at every breath He
was almost dead, and every breath
sounded like the noise made by pour
ing liquid from bottle, and his COM
rade kept the flies from his face, that
was clotted with blood and dirt. and
waited. Occasionally, when the poor
fellow would groan a bit louder than
usual, his friend would change the dv-
ing mans position, but he held him as
still as he could.
Don't suppose there's surgeon
about?" he inquired. as l stopped.
told him there was not now, but
would be later.
'Well,' he remarked, quietly, don't
suppose they could help him. He's
bout gone, ] reckon"

Catholic Devotions Adopted by Non
Catholics.

Catholics.
Our attention has been drawn to a
little pamphlet used by the laity at the
Anglican cathedral in Spanish Town
and possibly at other Anglican
churches of the island during the ser
vices. of the last Good Friday, It is en-
titled "A. Form of Service for Use at
the Three Hours of the Passion on
Good Friday. With Intercessions for
Private Use During the Intervals of
Silence" The publishers are. A. r.
Mowbray & Co, of Oxford and London,
and A. r. Campion of Ely, the COM
piler. We have been both edited and
instructed by the reading, edited by
the spirit of real piety,- which. not
understanding the Inconsistency of its
manifestation, must have presided over
the compilation and which crops out
eYerywhere; instructed-for it shows
that despite the distance of Jamaica
from the English center of Ritualism
we have a fair representation, even
here, of what Kensit would call con
cealed Romanists." In fact, we are not
not altogether sure whether that same
logical Protestant might not go a step
further in denunciation and dub his
High Church brethren concealed Jes-
uits."
And why not? In the first place the
devotion of the Three Hours is
Jesuit invention, and not very old
one. either. Something like century
o. two ago d South American Jesuit
had it for the first time in Lima, and
since then the practice has gone on
increasing, haveing been fostered es-
pecially by his brethren
Again to come back to the pamphlet.
it has exactly the same beginning as
the Jsuit Thesaurius Spiritualis. Let
not the Anglican reader faint when he
is told that this book is the Jesuit's
rule book. 1t opens with the, prayer of
st. Ignatius of Loyola-the 'sAnini
Christi'-and those who may possibly
believe that the founder of the Jesuits
cursed at his prayers, satisfy them
selves as to the truth or falsehood of
this belief, by reading the "Anima
Christi as it appears in faithful
in this Form of Service
adopted b ythe Church of England
Of Spanish Town.
On the eighth page of the pamphlet
there is a prayer for the heather, and
although nothing is said to indicate
the author, it was written by Jesuit,
no less a one than st Francis-Xavier.

Quarrelled at the Altar.

Countess Henrietta Chotek and
Prince Stanislaus kRadziwill of Bohe-
mia who suddenly abandoned their
marriage ceremony after the guests
had been assembled and the clergy
made ready. quarreled over the ques-
ton of the princes debts. The bride
that was to be is related by marriage
to the imperial family, and her friends
are immensely rich. 1t is said that
Radziwill's debts aggregate upward of
100000 He insisted at the last minute
that his finacee's family should liquid
ate all his obligations. Otherwise he
purposed to withdraw from the mar
riage. The relatives promptly and
positively declined. Countess Chotek

Catholic Citizen.

Every one who assists at mass should
offer it up for its four great ends:
First, the honor and glory of God, to
whom it is the most acceptable of all
possible gifts; two, in thanksgiving for
the graces and blessings received from
Him; third, in satisfaction for sin, and
fourth, to obtain from Him all that
we need to do His win in our regard
for time and eternity. 1t may also be
offered for special intentions. To be
present at the sacrifice and not TO take
part with the priest in offering it to
God is to miss one of the great rea-
sons for its celebration.-Ca Catholic Co

WHEN GRANDMA WENT TT
SCHOOL.

Robert Mackay in June Success1
Still in memory's cluttered garnet hangs
painting, rich and rare.
OF a romping lad and lassie and an old
gray. gentle mare,
That recalls the scenes of childhood
summer mornings soft and cool
And the unforgotten pleasure when your
grandma went to school,
Life another song was singing, both our
hearts were blithe and gay.
And whenever. bright and early, Iewould
call for her, she'd say,
With smile of satisfaction. Pill, I'm
sure you're very kind
Then away we'd canter, slUwly-she in
front and | behind
Over meadows clover clustered, down the
long. leaf-laden lane,
of the ancient county turnpike, on the
hot and dusty plain,
Through the midway pool, where. some
how, she'd seem overcome with
fright,
And I'd tell her not to worry. but to
grab and hold me tight!''
How. our voices rang with gladness, how
our laughter Knocked the birds.
How the lovesthat lit our fancies seemed
too deep for empty words,
How the other boys. in envy. lured me
on to break each rule.
Just to know the trancinS Joy felt when
grandma went to school.
Father Time, turn back your pages,
change these. silver locks to gold.
Let me live once more the love-1ife of
those dear, dead days of old
Not these dim, delusive day-dreams-
dreams too beautiful to last
When the heart Is painting pictures of
the pleasures that have passed
Just to see her. trim and dainty, in her
little Bingham gown,
Just to hold her hand in mine, as then.
and read her eyes of brown,
Just to hear her say she loved me, and
to answer. her caress
With a something less than heaven per-
haps, but something more than
yes
How that old emotion haunts me! How
l thrill at thought of it,
How ! feel youthful flutter as her fairy
features fit
Through the softly swaying shadows.
where the locust blossoms wave,
Through the moonlight of my memory
just shadow from her grave!
All. the old gray mare is waiting. AMI
the morning sun is high.
And the schoolhouse bell is ringing. from
the belfry in the sky.
And | see the same old turnpike, meadow,
plain, and midway pool
AS my fancy calls her back from heaven
to ride with me to school.
Not Worthless Character.

LITTLE SUNBEAM.

by Suzette ]. Drahnier.)
Little Sunbeam is a treasure
With her wealth of golden hair,
Little Sunbeam with her dimples
And her hands so plump and fair.
Little Sunbeam is so clinging.
For her little heart is true
As she nestles closely whispering,
Dearest Dada, owes 90
Then l take the little maiden,
Press her to my aching breast.
For my treasured wife-her mother
Meath the sod is laid to rest.
And l smooth the tangled tresses
As they lie against my heart.
While the sweet blue eyes close softly
And the lins in sweetness part.
All, my Sunbeam'S like her mother,
Bless her little heart so true,
Even in her sleep she murmurs,
Dearest Dada, l owes 90"

ASHAMED OF THEIR PARENrs.

Ungrateful children have always been
a heavy. cross to parents and have
caused more tears to flow in this world
than all other ayoidable occasions for
grief
One of the most biting forms of this
heartlessness occurs when the parents
make sacrifices for long years to give
their sons and daughters a gentle edu-
cation, SO as to fit them for refined
surroundings and then have their boys
and girls become ashamed of them.
This cuts them to the heart For oh,
they think, that if their hands are
rough, and their clothing coarse, and
their occupation humble. and their
manners unpublished, at least they have
a portion of the divine love that
prompt to self-denial. They remem-
ber,. too, that but for their industry
and their saving and their planning,
their children would be just like
them, exteriorly, that is, for they are
not like them in nobility of soul and
sincerity of affection. If they were
like them all the way through they
would not be ashamed of them. If
they were like them they would try to
give them love, for, love, privately and
before all the world. If they were like
them. they would try to pay back to
the old folk byTtokens of gratitude, the
sacrifices that gave them their refine
ment and accomplishments.
h No, they are unworthy of such de-
voted parents, and smart and cultured
as they think themselves, in the sight
of the angels they are unfit to associate
with the told man" and the "old wo-
man" of whom they are ashamed.

A Short Mass.

There are Catholics who hunt the
city for a short mass. where they dash
in enc door and out the other and i'm
agine they have done their duty TO
God. They would put the mass on the
same level as a railway eating house.
where travellers are given ten minutes
for meals. IT is a deadly sin. Of course,
to remain away from mass on sundays
without good reason, but somehow or

other we would have better hope for
man who absents himself altogether
than for the man who tries to escape
sin by giving short measure. God is
generous to the generous, but it is said
that the devil himself dislikes the skin

A Story Of Lincoln.

It was frequent custom Of Lin
coins to carry his children on his
shoulders, says The Literary Digest.
He rarely went down street that he
did not have one of his younger boys
mounted on his shoulder, while an
other hung to the tail of his long coat.
The antics of the boys with their
father and the species of tyranny
they exercised over him are still the
subjects Of talk in Springfield. Roland
Diler, who was neighbor Of Mr..
Lincoln, was called to the door one
day by hearing a great noise Of chill
dren, and there was Mr.. Lincoln strid-
ing by with the boys, both Of whom
were wailing aloud. "Why, Mr.. Lin
coin, what's the matter with the boys"
he asked.
"Just what's the matter with the
whole world" Lincoln replied. "I've
got three walnuts, and each wants
two"
