che Song Of the Race.

It's gallop, my hearty, the life-race to win,
But-what does it mean when the racers are in?
Through the night and the blast
We rode far and rode fast,
But what means the race to the racers at last?
The rider is weary
The Dark whispers "Rest!"
Silence and dreams,
And rose for his breast.
It's gallop, my hearty-the life-race that seems
An echo of Phantoms that race through wild
dreams!
And the racers that ride
Ger the track, dim and wide,
Behold not the pale. phantom-hOsts at their side!
The hosts that, grown weary.
Heard Night whisper "ReSt!"
And reaped from the race
But a rose for the breast!
It's galop, my hearty-break bolts-shatter
On the track where we trample the dust of dead
starS
Ho! Night comes apace-
Take the rose for the race,
And the shadows fall soft on each still dreaming
facet
The rider is weary
Keen thOrns at his breast;
Gods stars light him home
Where the Silence sings "Rest!'

of all kin0s-rusty blunderbusses, eigh-
teenth century dueling pistols, battle
nicked swords, blood stained and bull
let riddled uniforms.
ain one department a half dozen
young women were boring holes with
tiny augurs into chairs and tables of
mahogany. The holes wei q of needle

were new. l asked the foreman the OBJ
holes gave to the mahogany worm

"sAntique furniture, which is usually
worm eaten, brings a higher price than
new furniture the foreman explained.

baths.
"'The acid rusts and moulders the
bullets said the foreman. If you
should pick up one of them on the bat
tlefield of Gettysburg or Waterloo you
would say it had been lying there for
many, many years.
"In a department like blacksmith
shop men in leather aprons stood in
the glare of flaming forges, heating and
hammering swords and gun barrels and
suits of armor. These pieces, when the
men took them up, looked new. After
ward they looked very old; they had
become real antiques.

man that is studying more advanced
methods. The laborer who figures on
doing so much and no more, who aims
at beginning his work at a prescribed
minute, and drops it again at another
stipulated minute, or who winds him
self up as one would clock to do just
so much in given time for a certain
wage, and continues that daily routine
of life, cannot expect that he will be
able to advance any plan, and put it
into successful operation, whereby he
will receive the same results as the
man who interests himself in his work
for his own future good as we'll as for
the present benefit of his employer.
Such system in any form would be
the height of folly, because in the first
place it is unnatural. No man who
has any ambition, or whatever you
choose to call it, needs to grub all
through his life, if he will take an in
terest in his work and aim at some
thing higher. The farmer who studies
farming gets better results for his la
Dor than the man who farms it in any
old way. The mechanic receives more
compensation for his labor if he studies
his work than he would if he worked
merely because he was obliged to do
so in order to live; he has made him
self a valuable asset to his employer.
OF the two classes, which one is en-
titled to the greater consideration =?
Would any plan that places brute force
and mental development on the same
level be just? There can only be one
answer. 10 the man who has ambi-
tion and who makes an honest effort to
better his condition, the world says,
'Here's plenty and little to spare;"
but to the man who continues to grub,
the world says, "Here's living; con-
tinue to grub if you don't know any
better"
1t is not the man using his head and
hands that finds fault with the wage
compensation, but the man who is de-
veloping his muscle and paralyzing his
brain, by merely trying to exist. This
division of wage earners can be made of
any class or profession. 1t is as apple
able to the clerk, the professional man
and the business man as it is to the
: day labOrer. There are those who rise
: just so high and then their growth
. stops from the lack of further effort,
and when in the course of time their
fellow laborer takes a step higher, a
position they could have taken if they
had not let their ambition die, they are
! heard to advocate some principle
whereby they can get some of the other
fellows results.
The time has not yet come, nor never
] will come, when man can get along
! with all muscle and no brains, or vice.
versa; but the man who would be sue
cessful in life must put forth an honest
effort to acquire good share of both.

such circumstances, have warped my

What To Do with the Oranqemen.

OF course Mr. John Redmond was right in his
reputation and condemnation of the sentiment
ITO hell with the Orangemen,' by which he was
interrupted by voice in his speech at the recent
Irish convention in New York
"No, no." said he, far be it from me to tolerate
such an expression. The Orangemcn are Irish
men. They are mistaken Irishmen. They are, to
a large extent uneducatcd Irishmcn ! admit they
are intolerant Irishmen. What is our duty. What
is and what should be our mission. To drive
these men from Ireland! No. Educate them.
Enhghten them
That, of course the right thing to say,
and what Mr. Redmond advised is the right thing
to do. 1t is best to educate and enlighten the
Orangemen, at least try to do it, difficult though
the task may be; to cure them of their intoler-
ance, apropos of which we find the following in
answer to correspondent in the latest issue to
hand of Reynolds Newspaper Oondon):
Have you noticed that when Cardinal Eannu-
tell visited Armagh the Protestans created most
disgraceful riot; that the Orangemen i'll Belfast
and other northern towns are always attacking
their Catholic fellow countrymen, who happen to
be in the minority, whereas in the middle, south
and west of Ireland. where the Catholics are in
the majority, you never hear Of attacks upon
Proestants."
Nevertheless the proper thing to do is to edu-
cate and enfightcn these misguided men and make
them good 1rishmen, if at all possiblc.-trecmans

AUNT BUSY ON TROUBLES.

Dear Nieces and Nephews:
Aunt Busy is publishing Il letter from dis
couraged nephew this week which she hopes will
be the last of the same kind that the dear fellow
will write He did not say much, but Aunt Busy,
reading between the lines as it were, feels that he
is sadly distressed.
His troubles are surely many, and Aunt Busy is
going to write him a personal letter this very
night. His lessons seem too difficult so he implies
Now, the questions in Aunt Busy's old gray head
are these: Is the boy graded higher than he
should be, and in consequence are the studies too
difficult! Does the boy really study hard enough to
understand the difficulties before him. Docs he
keep his mind firmly on the subjects to be pre-
pared! Does he listen carefully to the explana-
tions and lectures of his teacher!
Aunt Busy is only asking herself these ques-
tons, not knowing the boy. If he can truthfully
admit to himself that none of Aunt Busys questions
suit him. why, then something IS very wrong, and
he should have a plain sensible talk with his
teacher principal and abide by the advice given
him.
Perhaps also his troubles are imaginary Half
the trials of the world onl7 exist in the mind. Aunt
Busy has often told you how very old and very
wise she is, but with all her age she was taught a
good lesson in wisdom this past summer and by
3-year-old boy. too The mother of this small boy
intends to spend the winter in the country with
only her little for company. The little fellow,
like all children is fond of playmates; and being
used to his own brothers. he has had company CON
stantly. He telling in his pretty baby way that
he would be alone with mamma for a long time
very soon, when Aunt Busy said: "What will you
do when you have little boys girls play with
you! He replied: ME viii have yots of dirls and
boys Aunt Busy said: where will they come
from!' And the dear wise baby said: Me will
imagine dcy have tummed.'
Aunt Busy had no more to saw but she did
think quite hard for few minutes. One result of
her thinking was a resolution to not worry and
fret so much over her troubles both real and I'M
real but TO remember the words of the dear sunny
haired, laughing boy who intended to just imagine
that he would be happy.
And remember Aunt Busy's advice about trou-
blcs; only, doars, be sure YOU do not 9 imagine
you write when you do not to your loving

Deartf of Catholic MARRIAGES.

lady correspondent writes to an exchange: II
think the real reason of the dearth of marriages
among eligible Catholics is nothing more or less
than conceit and pride. Look, if a young man is
at all III position to marry, or has good looks,
intellectual abilities, or moves in a select circle
well, he puts off time; thinking he has nothing to
do but lift his little finger to obtain any of the pre-
possessing Catholic girls who surround him, so Of
course he looks about till he is generally too late
And so with the young ladies' If they also
have any of the above qualifications they turn up
their noses at most of the clever, pushing young
fellows who are only beginning to make their way.
They, too, put off too long; then when they are
getting aged Ito use asporting tern), they simply
snap at anyone rather than be called an old maid
There IS another reason, and that is that some
times certain nice young man sees another GER
tain nice young lady, but, alas they never have
more than "a passing opportunity of getting ac-
quanted, and so they go on drifting apart, never
meeting to have their nice quiet talk which leads
to "a better understanding There should be in every
parish what we might call "a select introducer,
who would, of course, be posted up in the details
OF each one and what they required something, in
tact, after the style of a refined matchmaker or
matrimonial advertiser"

DOG PLAYS DETECTIVE.

Reinhardt Deuchen Of Paterson, n j.. is in
debtcd to St. Bernard dog for finding horse that
was stolen last July and the man who received the
stolen animal is in the Passaic county jail. 1t is

What Gaelic LEAGUE Has Done.

What the Gaelic League has already done for
the revival of the Irish language is thus stated by
Mr. Seumas MacManus in the Worlds Work: ut
has fought and overcome the hostile national board
OF education, with the result that 5000 of the ma
tlonal schools are teaching the language today to
$4,000 pupils, against few schools that taught
It to 3l3 pupils thirteen years ago. In addition to
TINS Gaelic IS taught to 100000 others in the re-
naming primary schools and colleges" Mr. Mac
Manus cites, as another illustration of the extra
ordinary development of national spirit in Ireland
that last St. Patricls day the Protestant church
OF St. Kelvin III Dublin had It's service conducted
wholly in Irish"
