rhe Garden Of AbsoIution.

There is garden, far, oh. far away,
Kept for the souls who sinned anC
suffered most
The sword of God forever guards the
way,
And round its borders camps a
heavenly host.
A gentle wind breathes through the
tufted grass,
Rich with the scent of roses in their
bloom;
And. with the wind, all sins and sor-
rows pass.
Weaving sweet contentment in
their room.
Here are no troubles; here are none
that weep;
Here come no thoughts of sadness or
But fairest flowers, in fullest beauty,
And softest sunlight dreams upon
the air.
The murmurings of fountains, low and
sweet.
Forever fill the ear and never cease,
Soothing the silence with gentle
beat,
Like kindly voices speaking words OF
peace.
And here, forever and forever. rest
The weary souls, unburdened of
their sin;
And cursed. things are here forgiven
and blessed;
And wicked hearts are made all
clear within.

Among the Dead.

We all have friends among the dead
| IF we go out in these beautiful fan
days TO ''the silent city of the dead. =
when crisp and colored leaves are
decking the graves as with mosaics.
we cam see the names of our friends on
the headstones which our love has set
| up to their memory. There at rest lie
those whom we have loved in life
When we saw the light go out from
their eyes we felt that a darkness had
come upon our souls bIacker and
! thicker than that which fell upon the
valley of the Nile in the DAYS of
Pharaoh
Treasures there are. under the
mounds whose green is turning brown
beneath the chilly autumn winds which
whirl the leaves round the headstones
over the last resting place of our dear
ones. There are many there, perhaps
who have shared our joy and sorrow,
who have helped us to bear our bur
dens when these were so heavy as well
nigh to crush us to the earth by their
weight
Some there are whom we have made
stouter of heart and Drawer of soul in
their battle for the Sacred Heart: and
other whom, perhaps, we may have
weakened in the dark hour of trial
and temptation. Friends may lie I'M
der the cold sod who went out from
our lives. We thought too soon. like
young and fragrant flowers. nipped by
the sudden killing frost. Dear ones
there are who fingered long with us.
whose tarrying only wound them closer
round our hearts, as the ageing WV
knits itself closer to the wall. Others
there are who in their dying moments,
left such a sweet peace in our souls.
whose death seemed calmer and
sweeter than a gentle sleep, and whose
faces smiled into ours from their cof-
fins.
All have gone. We regretted them
when they left US and grudged them to
the Sacred Heart. In our moments of
weak, unwilling rebellion, in which our
Savior sympathized with us-in our
hours of loneliness and bereave-
ment we would gladly call them back
again to the homes made so desolate
by their absence But now we would
not have them back for worlds, for we
know that they are the friends of the
Sacred Heart of Jesus. linked to Him
by a bond of love which never can be
severed. All we can ponder in all
sincerity and love the tender words of
ST. Augustine on the death Of his
mother: "And then I remembered
what Thy handmade was used to be:
how holy and good; how patient and
long-suffering. And that it was all
gone from me now. And I wept over
her and for her: over myself and for
myself. And 7 let my tears which I
had kept in before, making bed OF
them as it were for my heart, and I
rested upon them Because they were
for Thine ears only and not for any
man. November Messenger.

The worst of lies is a pfous lie.

The worst of lies is a pious lie.
The boughs that bear must hang
lowest.
Sympathy is the staff on which trou-
BILE leans.
1t is with sorrows as with countries
each man has his own.
Don't judge man by his failures in
life, for many man fails because he
is too honest to succeed.
Next to the fear of the Lord, esteem
nothing so much as health; It is pref
cradle to all the wealth of the world.
The greatest love in the world is like
the greatest mantle one that has
been most thoroughly disciplined and
tested.
In the choice of a friend or a wife
the ear is a safer guide than the eye
Bishop Spalding.
AS display is vulgar, so fondness for
jewelry is evidence of an uncultured
mind.
There is "a time to keep silence and
a time to speak" Never is this truer
than when we are in the presence of
those who sorrow.
Not the millionth part of the good
that might be and ought to be done
is done; but all that God or men can
ask of thee is to perform thine own
task.
The Heart of Jesus is the heart of
the most faithful of friends, the most
tender Of fathers, the heart of a God
who possesses all perfection to attract,
delight and ravish the soul

Thought the Cross Too Liqht.

Cast aside thy weak complaining.
Idle tears for pleasure waning;
Thou are not the first whom sadness
Hurried to the brink of madness.
Every heart must bear its burden
Great the labop great the guerdon.
Lift thy cross. o wounded spirit!
Pray thy God for strength to bear il
Through the deserts dread temptation.
Ehrough the Gardens desolation;
Follow Him who died forsaken.
That a world to life might wakep.
Though they place may be but lowly.
And thy feet must travel slowly;
Though they heart may often sicken
When the cares and dangers thicken
Not one tear viii fall unguarded,
Not a prayer be unrewarded.

course of honesty and generosity with

will represent ideals so exalted, that
they will be hailed and sought by the
world as the princes Of the earth.
