Dublin can and does boast of many
superlatives. 1t has the widest street
and the largest public park in Europe;
the first horse show in the world; but
certainly the chiefest of all it's claims
is that advanced on behalf of it's
women. 1t is really no exaggeration
to say that in no city in the world will
you see so many beautiful women as
you do in the Irish capital.
There is something, too, about the
Irish type of beauty that cannot be-
actually described. There is an ex-
preston, an air of something akin to-
sadness, almost in every real Irish
face; something interesting. that holds,
the attention more than mere skim

Publication of the Bauus.

The banns is simply the public an
nouncement, made by the priest at the
parochial mass, of the intention FORM
ed by a man and a woman to contract
marriage with each other The an
nouncement is to be made on three
successive days OIL which the faithful
are bound to hear mass, and be so
made even in those states where as
the law requires the parties have
taken out license. When the parties
belong to different parishes the pub
LEGATION Of the banns must be made in
both. The priest who would marry
parties without first publishing the
banns would be guilty of grievous
sin. And no one but the bishop or
his vicar can dispense from the obliga-
ton. And not even they, unless such
reasons be assigned for dispersal
ton as will satisfy them that the
parties are not bound by the law.
If the banns We're not published,
many marriages might turn out to be
invalid. Either of the parties might
have partner living. In that case,
the marriage if attempted would be
null and void. And in various other
cases it would be also null and void.
Often the priest knows nothing about
the parties and cannot say whether
they are manageable or not. But
some one who hears the banns may be
aware of some reason why, even by
the ministry Of the priest, the parties
cannot become husband and wife. If
so, such person is bound, under pain
of sin, to so report to the priest, and
he, if he be requested, is bound to
conceal the name of his informant
The law enjoining the publication RI
the banns is not only wise one, but
necessary one, and should be COM
piled with in every case unless the
ordinary judges otherwise. Even

Doing it for Love of God.

"A nun relates this anecdote: "&
carpenter was fixing some presses in
our sacristy and the sister who over
looked the work asked him if he was
attentive to his religious duties. He
replied, L have not time to do much,
but I have never forgotten one little
practice taught me long ago by one
of the holy priests who was a saint
Father Furniss was his name. During
the mission Of AIMS street he told us
we need not go on our knees to pray,
but we should from time to time
raise our hearts to God during our
work and say: "My Jesus, 1 do this
for love Of Thee" I can never forget
the impression the sermon of that holy
father made upon me, and very often
during my work say the little pray
er he taught u.s.
This simple avowal explained
something which had often surprised
us-we noticed that this carpenter Of
ten touched his cap without apparent
reason, but we We're far from sus-'
pecting that he was breathing the
little aspiration he had learned So
many years ago from the jealous Re-
demptorist.''
That intention would turn into
heavenly gold the labors, meals,
amusements and sufferings of every
day. 1t would make them precious in
the eye of God. 1t would lay up
treasures that would make COM
petence for eternity.

Lincoln and Lee,

In Mississippi's Hall of Fame
Together they look down
The statesman of immortal mould,
The soldier of renown.
The South delights to honor him
Who set the bondman free,
And Lincoln's pictured face to-day
Hangs side by side with Lee.
For 10! the smarting wound is healed
The nation stands once more
A perfect body, sound and whole,
And stronger than before.
And heroes of the blue who marched
With Sherman to the sea, ::
Clasp hands with veterans of the gray
Who rode with Robert Lee.
Where once the bees of battle sang
And startled bugles blew,
Where Vicksburg heard the drums Of
death
Strike up their wild tattoo,
White peaceful lilies blossom now
10 wreathe the memory,
Of Lincoln in the Southern heart,
Enshrined with that of Lee.
