large number of 21,525 sought dissolu-

that 25.371 couples. after living to-

JEsuITs ADVICE TO YOUNG MEN

That a man should meet his trouble

of his spiritual will make of it not a
curse. but a blessing. this is manly
and what is manly elevates and cheers.
makes one sturdier, and. therefore
drawer. and, therefore, brighter.
But that man when he has already
done what he can for his trouble,
should return to it again and again.
stare at ii until his eye becomes dim.
brood over it until his thoughts get
entangled, lament over it until his will
grows respondent, shiver and shudder
over it until his nerves are unstrung.
hysterical, this is not manly. 1t is
womanish. 1t is worry.
When you must think about trouble
give it all the quiet time and serious
thought that it needs. Fix beforehand
some broad limit to this meditative
study. Let it be real downright prac-
teal study Mediate intently upon
what you can do and ought to do, in
order to avert or endure or repair your
misfortune, or it may be your fault.
Let not your thought rest even for one
moment, upon any point THAI is not
practical.
What is to be done? That is the
question that you have got to ask and
answer When you have reached the
best road as you think TO take. do not
decide in a hurry, nor until you have
thoroughly sifted the matter Bnt
when YOU have once decided, turn your
face resolutely forward, and inexora-
bly set further reflection aside.
If still you allow this trouble to
haunt your nights with spectral shape
and to dog your days with importunate
after-thought, your mind. like a Wild
bird. Gagged and terrified, instead of
seeking to escape through some open
ing. will beat itself helplessly against
fatal bars: your energy will grow en-
er.yated. yet restless; your resolution
apasmodic. yet vacillating; your views
morbid. your whole life wretched, vast
ed. worthless.
when trouble is over do not still
cling 10 it. LET the dead past bury its
dead" If there be aught in the past
that tells a wise lesson let it be listen
ed TO. If there be aught that is sacred
ia friendship. let it be revered If
there should have been much love. far
more than we know, for which we
should thank God. even though it be
now lost. let this thought be cherished
as a recollection to be brought with us
to Paradise.
Rut the past is dead. We may learn
from it, we may love it. We must not,
we cannot. live in it, Our life is in the
nrasent. We have our present work

present cross to carry and our present
comfort to lean upon. We have our

A GOOD CATHOLIC.

What are the signs of a good Catho-
lie, true to religion? He keeps the two
greatest communicable loves God
and he loves his neighbor. He shows
that he loves God by observing the ten
commandments. by going to communion
frequently, by keeping the fasts of Lent
and Advent. and by accepting with
resignation the trials of life. He proves
that he loves his neighbor by prayer for
the latter's welfare by feeling himself
bound to set a good example, by acts
of kindness. by refraining from back
biting. Besides these signs. he shows
respect for the church. for its teach
ings. for its clergy. for its blessings,
for its holy places: he practices the
three eminent good works. he avoids
the seven deadly sins; he is temperate.
industrious and faithful to the duties
of his state in life-as son, brother.
husband and father. Given a man thus
cultivating virtue, and behold a good
Catholic and commendable citizen.-

general topic is subdivided into four
sections-nameIy: The Sanctity of a
Christian Marriage; Its Indissolubil-

goes at great length into his subject,
especially in treating the divorce evils.
Quoting Pope Leos words on the evils

the tables and statistics heret publish

some 1882 divorces had been granted.
their number in the year 1880 amounted
to 1858. and in the one year reached
the number of 25, $50. IRONS 1867 to
1856. that is in twenty years, there
were granted in all the states and ter
ritories 32S,716 divorces. Nor can this
rapid increase of divorce be explained
by the growth of our population. For
the same tables show that while in
that period the population of the
United States increased 80 per cent.
divorce increased 70 per cent. Of the
whole number of divorces IS per cent
