The Boyhood of Jesus.

We have every reason to believe thaI
the outward life of our Lord IN ms
childhood and youth was the lie Oh
all those of his age and station ana
place of birth. He lived as lived lne
other children Of peasant parents IN
that quiet town, and in great meas
ure as they live now.
A tourist of extensive travel writes:
He who has seen the children OF
Nazareth in their red caftans ana
bright tunics of silk or cloth, glrded
with a many colcred sash, and some
times covered with loose outer jack
ct Of white or blue-he was has
watched their games and heard thelr
ringing laughter as they wander ABOUT
The hills of their little native vale, or
plav in bands on the hillside, beside
their sweet and abundant fountain,
may perhaps form some conception OF
how Jesus looked and played when he,
too. was a child. And the traveller
Who has followed any of those chill
Aren-as ] have done-to their simple
homes. and seen the Scanty furniture
the plain bat sweet and wholesome
food. the uneventful, happy, patriarchal
life. may form a vivid conception OF
the manner in which Jesus lived.
Nothing can be plained than those
houses with the doves summing them
selves on the white roofs and the vines
wreathing about them. The mats, or
carpets, are laid along the walks;
shoes and sandals are taken off at the
threshold: from the center hangs a
lamp which forms the only ornament of
the room: in some recess in the wall
is placed the wooden chest painted
with bright colors, which contains the
books or other possessions of the fam
lily: on a ledge that runs along the |
wall, within easy reach, are neatly |
rolled up the gay-colored quilts which |
serve as beds. and on the same ledge
are ranged the earthen vessels for
daily use: near the door stands the |
large common water jars of red clay, |
with few twigs and green leaves
often of aromatic shrubs-thrust into |
their orifices to keep the water cool.
At meal time a painted wooden stool
is placed in the center of the apart
ment, a large tray is put upon 1t, and
in the middle of the tray stands the
dish Of rice or libban, or stewed fruit,
from which all help themselves in
common. Both before and after the
meal, the servant, or the youngest
member of the family, pours water
over the hands from a brazen ever
into a brazen bowl.
so quiet, so simple. so humble, so
was the outward life of the
Holy Family of Nazareth. "-Colum-
bian.

VISIONS.

While night serene with starry crown
ReignS over all with loving eyes,
The angels shed their music down
To mingle with earth's harmonies.
The world now glows with peace and
love.
Forgotten now is care and strife;
Lo. Beauty comes from Heaven above
And lives to cheer our weary life.
Sweet are the dreams that come to me
While ali is lovely and serene;
They soothe like angel melody
That breathes from realms of love un-
seen.
o Lord. these visions are thine own,
All fraught with peace and love and
Joy:
They come like flowers in beauty blown

PoPE's RELATIVES.
Have Never Profted by the Dignity
of His Position.

Unlike many other dignitaries. ec-
clesiastical and civil, Pope Leo XIII
has never permitted his position to
benefit his family. Even his three
nephews-the sons of his brother
Ludovic. Richard and Camille Pecci,
have not profited by the pontifical
power.
Count Ludovic. the eldest. passes his
time at Carpineto. in Umbria, the ma
tive country Of the family. His ex-
istence is a retired and modest one.
AS he loves study above everything,
he has formed there. with the assist
ance Of his uncle. a fine library. where
he spends nearly all his time The
Pope sends him a package of books
from time to time.
Count Richard, the younger, has a
property a Maenza. But he has passed
his last summers at Carpineto, like
his brother.
These nenhews are characterized by
their affability and are adored by the
people OF their native country.
The Pope has also many distant rel
atives, but none Of them can say that
he has gained wealth or dignity from
his relationship TO the Pontiff.-Cath-
olic Mirror.

HAPPY THOUGHTS.
Sorrow.

All sorrow can help to create in us
clean heart and to renew a right
spirit within us. Sorrow born of ,ad-
Yersity may cleanse the heart from
much that mars character, and
through it a right spirit of sympathy,
love and charity may be reborn within
us. The sorrow that tears the heart
when loved ones depart oft cleans the
heart from worldliness. Our thoughts
follow them Godward and thus with
in us is reborn a right spirit of faith
in him who is with US when we pass
through the valley Of the shadow of
death.

Mixed Marriages

The Episcopal bishop of Washington.
Rt. Rev. H. Satterlee, in a recent pas
toral letter. finds much fault with the
Catholic church for being SO hard on
the marriage of her members with
those Of another Christian body He
said:
OF course, we have no contention
with or desire to criticise the Roman
catholic church as far as her own
The Intermountain Catholic. (Salt Lake City [Utah] ;) 1899-1920, 1903-01-17
HeIpfulness.

The act of common helpfulness is so
simple. so easy. so natural to the noble
soul that it rises from the heart and
flows through the hand unnoticed by
US. But nothing, great or small, ever
escapes the attention of the Divine
Teacher, and so he assures lis that
every noble act done in his name shall
surely bring its reward.

Short Sermons.

Death-the death of those we love
is not only bitter to endure. but also
hard to realize. But yesterday they
were here by our side, looking into our
eyes, and now they are so far away
that not even imagination can pierce
the indefinite regions to which they
are gone. We cry to them. and they
do not answer; we stretch out our
hands and they do not heed. Of all
that love which life gave us, death only

Fortitude.

Where true fortitude dwells, loyalty,
bounty, friendship and fidelity may be
found. A man may confide in per-
sons constituted for noble ends who
dare do and suffer and who have a
hand to turn for their country and
friends. Small and creeping things are
the products of petty souls.

AT SUNSET.

oh, have 7, then, so far to go
To reach the golden west?
And is there not on all the road
A place where. / may rest?
The cold winds blow across the fields,
The clouds hang low and gray:
But for the shaft of sunset light
! could not find my way.
o sunset, type of Heavens gate,
Far in the golden west,
The long, long day shall close at last,
And / shall find sweet rest!

Love of Jesus.

You who love Jesus with a true love,
however poor a love, listen to my
words: Do not fear to die you will
find ii very easy and very sweet; do
not fear the judgment, you will find
it very gentle, very kindly, very safe"
-Faber.

Thourhts.

What fairy palaces we may build of
beautiful thoughts, proof against all
adversely; bright fancies. satisfied
memories, noble histories, faithful say
ings; treasure houses of precious and
restful thoughts which care cannot
disturb nor pain make gloomy. nor
poverty take away from us-houses
built without hands. for our souls to
live inl-John Ruskin.

Death.

Let us bear in mind this truth that
on the bed. of death and on the. dav

The late Archbishop of Tuam was
both physically and intellectually A
noble man. Though S5 years of age, he
continued till the beginning of Mo-
vember to discharge the duties of his
high office, which were at all times
exacting, but particularly so during
visitation, for not a few of the par
ishes are very difficult of access. AS
a writer on the Scriptures his grace
was well known, not only in Ireland,
but throughout all the English peaking
countries, his commentary on the New
Testament being used as a class book
in many ecclesiastical colleges. 1t is
generally recognized to be work of
old merit. Possessed of an excellent
voice and master of a good delivery,
he was a preacher of power and his
sermons left an impression that was
not readily effaced.
