The nope as MIR. Harrington Saw Him.

The pope as Mir. Harrington Saw Him.
In Harper's Magazine for June Booth
Harrington gives a vivid picture of the
new pope as he saw him celebrating
mass at st. Peters:

made, even stout, and has a fine grace
of carriage; his dignity is as great as
his position, but utterly without haugh-
illness or pomposity or pride of office.

nevertheless, he is remarkably mag
netic; it is the magnetism of unmiStak-
able goodness and good will TO all the
world
Everyone was laughing with excite
ment and the sheer pleasure of seeing
him. and because he smiled little.
The pope bowed and smilingly
waved his hand: at which the cheering
broke out again, lasting until the pope
came forward and stood near the edge
of the platform to speak to the Daugh-
ters of Maryland to all the people.
Silence fell instantly; there was only
the faint, multitudinous rustic as every
one leaned forward q little, intent to
listen.
His voice, mellow, clear, and
resonant. yet gentle. has in it the quail
ity of lofty and practical goodness that
IS in his face. 1t is Il strong voice, too,
with the strength of a man who could
give an incorrigible lout a fine beating
Tor the good of his soul; and it is what
might be called a brave voice. A man
with that kind of voice will not be
afraid of anything that might happen
to himself only. But, more than these
things. it carries to one who hears it
t.he benedction that eXhales from the
i'pirit OF Plus X. to all the world, all
the time.
While he was speaking, the great
clock, high over his head, belled out the

as the sound of q foot scu1lling the
pavement, the crowd had drawn for
ward and closer, leaving no groups and
open spaces, until, at last, they formed
dense press; so that when the pope
raised his arms for the benediction and
the people llnelt to receive his blessing,
the whole mass surged back like one
large receding wave"

High minds of native pride and force,
Most deeply feel thy pangs, re1norsc,
Fear, for their Scourgc, mean villains
have,
Thou are the torturer Of the brave,
Scott: ''MarmOan."
