Devotion of an Italian Catholic Boy.
L shall never forget the impression
one little incident in the Milan cathe-
dral produced upon me. In frornt of
the steps leading up to the chancel on
a sot Of stone bed or platform raised
to about the height of an ordinary
witing table above the floor. lay an
iron cross with an iron figure of the
Savior extended upon it. There was
absolutely nothing artistic, nothing
worthy Of a second glance, in this cru
cifix. But in the eyes of the
Italian worshippers. mainly women, it
stood. for something, ] know not what.
They came. looked at. it, kissed it on

He was SO small that he had little

1T is unfortunately failing with
some good Catholics, remarked Our
Next Door, gazing contemplatvely at
the glowing Goals in the grate-that
cost $12 a ton by the way-"that they
are given to criticism of their priests,
although they have the grace not to
do so in the presence of those not or
the faith. In fact they would resent
anything of the kind coming from a
Protestant, but when the company is
composed exclusively of Catholics they
consider the discussion of imperfec-
tions of their spiritual guides as sort
of family affair and privilege. A few
evenings ago l was at a little gather
ing in which a discussion was had re-
garding the irritable temperament of
a reverend gentleman well known TO
most of the company. One of the
party. an ex-officer of the army, took
no part in the conversation until one
OF those who had most forcibly eX-
pressed his adverse opinion turned to
him and said:
d" Now, colonel you know Father
What do you think Of him?
The colonel paused a moment and
then replied: i am a Yankee, you
know. and will answer your question
by asking another. Suppose you We're
taken mortally i'll at midnight during
one of those blizzards that we are sub
ject to at this season, and should send
for Father , as you are in his
parish; don't you know, as an undis-
putable fact, that he would instantly
leave his warm bed and tramp through
the storm and darkness to answer your
call, at any risk to his life and heaithY
We'll 'Well-yes,' admitted the ques-
tioner.
And when he sat by you in that
dread hour and gave You such strength
and consolation as only a priest of God
can give. wouldn't you feel like con
doning that little petulance of temper
which his mother gave him and which
the sore trials of life sometimes nring
out? l tell you, boys, the best and
truest description of a priest that L
ever read was this: He is a man who
has made a vow to be a saint And
that covers the ground. In my long
and varied life never met one of them
whom l could not admire and rever-
ence.'

effectually silenced the discussion. :

till 1897, when he resigned. Like many
other venerable servants of God, the

his REQUIEM Mass with special in1unc-

The Lord who fashioned my hands for
working,
Set me a task, and it is not done:
1 tried and tried since the early morn
And now to westward sinketh the
sun
Noble the task that was kindly given
To one so little and weak as L
Somehow my strength could never
grasp it.
Never, as days and years went by.
Others around me cheerfully toiling,
Showed me their work as they passed
away:
Filled were their hands to overflowing
Proud We're their hearts, and glad
and gay.
Laden with harvest spoils they entered
In at the golden gate of their rest:
Laid their Eheaves at the fee, tof the
Master.
Found their places among the blest.
Happy be they who strove to help. me,
Failing ever in spite Of their aid;
Fain would their love have borne me
onward, -
But I was unsteady and sore afraid.
Now my task will never be finished,
And when the Master calleth my
name
The voice will find me still at my la
Dor
Weeping beside it in very shame.
With empty hands I shall rise to meet
Him,
And when He looks for the fruits of
Nothing have I to lay before Him
But broken efforts and bitter tears.
Yet when He calls fain would hast
en-
Mine eyes are dim and their light
is gone;
And 1 am as weary as though car
ried
A burden of beautiful work we'll done
1 will fold my empty hands on my bos-
ON,
Meekiy thus in the shape of His
Cross;
And the Lord who made them frail and
feeble
Maybe win pity their strife and loss

A Law Apostle.

The average Catholic is not a pro-
.pagardist. He has his own religion
and he dislikes to obtrude it on his
Protestant neighbor OF course. the dis
position is altogether gentlemanly.
Other things being equal, the religious
porselyte has little excuse in the eyes
of the world for his existence. But
other things are not equal. The Catholic
who wishes to make his religion bet
ter known has this plea. His religion
is so much vilified, so much misunde-
stood that prejudice is generated
against him in his social and political
relations. He meets with constant mis-
apprehensions of his belief among
Protestants, whose friendship and good
will are pleasant to him; and these
misapprehensions are of a nature that
imply stupidity, gullibility, duplicity
and bad citizenship in the Catholic
body. If we value a friendship, it
seems incumbent on us to make an ef-
fort to disabuse our FRIEND of any mis-
conceptions he may entetain of us
whether these misconceptions are indi-
vidual or collective.
This is a fair excuse for some zeal
in promoting Catholic truth. Such zeal
is not discoverable in the mass OF
Catholics. chiefly because their asso-
citation with Protestants is quite linn
ited. But among a growing class OF
Catholics there is apt to be an dp-
! probation of such zeal. Those whose
association is large and more diverse

II is perfidious and dangerous elo-
quence that which can only be praised
at the expense of holy doctrine, and
which contains a poisonous beverage in

One ought absolutely to prohibit
ones self the reading of bad books,
that is to say, those that attack re-
ligion and morals, either directly or
indirectly; unwholesome meals, how
ever they may be seasoned, ruin new
ertheless, little by little, the strongest

himself? Who then can doubt that bad
books carry with them a pestilence
equally real?-Descartes.

Self-controI.

Prune thou thy words, thy thoughts

That DER thee swell and throng;
They viii condense within thy soul
And change to urpese strong.
But he who lets his feelings run
In soft luxurious flow
Shrinks when hard service must &e

Where hearts and wills are weighed
Thou brightest transports, choicest

Which bloom their hour and fade.
