How to Saw the Rosary.

Few Catholics know how to say the Rosary
Most Of them imagine that if they pass the beads
through their fingers and say the vocal prayers they
have July practicced the devotion. But the beads
and the vocal prayers are the least part of it. The
meditation on the fifteen mysteries of our redemp-
ton is the main thing.
The mind should be occupied with thoughts Of
the wonders wrought by God from the time when
The Angel Gabriel saluted the Blessed Virgin as
La Mother Of Messiah to the hour when she was
crowned by her Divine Son Of Queen of Heaven.
lle joyful. sorrowful and the glorious mysteries
should have their turn for rumination and the re-
nanbrance Of them in all their detail should be ac-
@qpanied with acts Of faith and love, contrition
ana hope and with the renewal of good resolutions.

nose mysteries would sink into the heart and how
they would burst out thence into the bloom Of pious
acton. The slipping of the beads through the
lld would then only measure the time and the

All Mary dear, how sad thy heart,
How sad and oh how all alone
Thou dost not speak, nor sigh, nor moan,
But thy deep grief full well we know,
Thy Son in heaven, thou here below.
Thy Fathers VIII is done at last
Thy exile's Ger, thy pain all past,
Thy rapture such we may not dream
To catch its faintest smallest CLEAN,
'Twould make the way too fair too bright,
For this our passage in the night.
On earth today. oh Mary dear,
Poor Mothers hearts are sad and drear;
Their little ones are safe above
But sore they miss their childish love!
