A Lie Nailed.

A correspondent recently wrote to
the London Daily Express that "in
Mexico man was nailed to a cross
on Good Friday, crown of thorns be-
ing set on his head, and that other on
lockers gave way to extreme frenzy,
beating themselves till they bled,
whilst another made gashcs in his
flesh with a knife till he bled to
death.
Referring to this ridiculous and Of
course obviously false statement, Mr.
Cecil G. O'Gorman writes as follows
to the Catholic Times, sayes the New
York Freeman's journal:
ut is difficult to believe that in Eng
land there can be such ignorance as
regards the custom of foreign coun-
tries that an article SO absurd sould
find its way into print in first-class
newspaper. Mexico swarms with Prot
cstant missionaries of different sects,
who make, as is we'll known, scarcely
any converts among the natives; a
very few protesting Professionalism for
the sake Of small monthly allowance.
These missionaries make a point Of
grossly eXaggerating the vices and de-
fects Of the loWer-class Mexican Cath
olic, and in some cases report stories
having no foundation whatever to
their superiors in the United States,
for the sake Of exciting indignation
and pity and thereby raising funds.
Years ago, on Good Friday, in many
Mexican villages, and principally in
those near Mexico City, Passion plays
were given with the sanction of the
cure OF the parish. At that time q
man (generally peon or an Indian)
carried a light cross round the court
yard Of the church, falling three times,
a pulpit being carried to where he fell
and a short sermon delivered by the
priest on each occasion. This over, the
Indian was tied to the cross raised up
whilst another sermon was preached
on the death of Christ I dare say the
position was a very fatiguing one, but
never heard of any injury having
been inflicted. The various characters
Of the Passion were represented by
very gaudily dressed Indians. Years
later, Americans came to look upon
this representation &s one of the
sights of Mexico, and when, on this
account, irreverence was shown, the
plays were speedily given up. Now,
there Is only one village, San Angel,
where this ceremony, called Las Tres
Caidas' is continued, and statues are
substituted for men, the staues being
carried around on nEn's shoulders. It
is very impressive outdoor ceremony
and is made still more so by the statue
Of Christ being allowed to fall to the
ground with the cross"
Notwithstanding this and numerous
other contradictions of numerous 9th
ef lies in the same interest, the same
INSCRIPTIONS system will, we suppose,
go on as an agency against the Catho.
lie church.

The Friend I Want.

commend me to the friend that comes
When | am sad and lone,
And makes the anguish of my heart
The suffering of his own;
Who coldly shuns the glittering throng
AT pleasures gay levee,
And comes TO gild a sombre hour
And give his heart to me.
He hears me count my sorrows DER
And when the task is done
He freely gives me all l ask
a sigh for every one
He cannot wear a smiling face
When mine is touched with gloom,
But, like the violet, seeks to cheer
The midnight with perfume.
Commend me to that generous heart,
Which, like the pine on high,
uplifts the same unvarylng brow
To every change of sky;
Whose friendship does not fade away
When wintry tempests blow,
But. like the winters icy crown,
Looks greener through the snow.
He flies not with the fitting stork
That seeks a Southern sky,
But fingers where the wounded bird
Hath laid him down to die.
Oh. such Il friend! He is in truth,
Whateer his lot may be,
A rainbow on the storm of life,
An anchor on it's sea.
