PauIists' Advice.

The following don'ts for penitants ira
printed in the Paulist calendar for
June. Con the list and see if anv of
these admonitions apply to your case:
Don't crowd into the confessional
ahead OF some one else who has been
waiting before you have come.
Don't tell any ones sins but yours.
Don't mention another's name in
telling your sins.
Don't make the priest irritable by
forcing him to repeat: How many
times?' for every mortal sin you con-
fess.
Don't forget it is a sin to accuse
yourself wilfully of something you have
not committed, just as well as it is to
conceal sin you have committed.
Don't confess a doubtful sin as if it
were not doubtful. Confess exactly as
your conscience saw it.
Don't fail to ask for special rene
dies against your individual sins if the
priest fOrgets to give them. Take an
interest in your soul
Don't go to confession inteding to use
all the wiles and deceits of present-day
worldly life to conceal ind shade over
and soften down sins and circum
stances of sins necessary for the priest
to know.
Don't fit about from priest to priest
to escape little scolding for habitual
faults.
Don't think confessor is naturally
severe and stern because he is so with
you. He may be the kindliest of the
kindly with the one that goes before or
follows you.
Don't go 10 confession merely to- re-
lieve your mind.
Don't talk so low in confessing that
the priest cannot hear. Don't talk so
loud that everybody can hear you.
Don't neglect to say your penance i'm
mediately after confession.
Don't get the blues because your con-
fessor is changed to another parish.
Don't get the blues because he is not
changed

THE SILENT.
(Apnleton's.)


If the little sister of the little brother
Came crying through the darkness to
our door:
Beloved, thou canst help me and no
other,
All, pity 1 implorer'
Would we not draw them close in ten
der fashion
With never word of censure or sur
prise,
And soothe and aid them there with
all compassion,
We. who are old and wise?
How is it, then, when we from one
another
Cry to those higher with despairing
breath,
Ourselves the little sister of the broth
To one most wise in death?
Praying: "Ah, comfort me, all, guide
me truly
From thy white wisdom counsel or
consent"
All. ever to these silent rises newly

cover
The weak hands cropping at their gar
ment's hem
The little sister or the little brother,
Would we not stoop to them?

HEIR TO DUKE OF NORFOLK.
Birth of Son to Catholic Leader and
Premier Peer Regarded as Ma
+ionaI Event in ENGLAND.

The recent birth of son and heir to
the Duke of Norfolk was treated as an
event of almost national Importance in
England. !:
The Duke of Norfolk is man of
mark in many ways. He is the fore
most Catholic in Great Britain and
acts to all intents and purposes, when
occasion arises, as British ambassador
to the Vatican He also the premier
peer of Great Britain. and the birth of
a son -insures the continuation in the
direct male line of the accent family
of Howard, which stands next to the
blood royal at the head of the English
peeerage and traces its descent back to
Saxon times.
Arundel castle, the duke stately
Sussex home dates from the time of
King Alfred. who mentioned it in his
will.
1t seems strange that with so long
and continuous family history the
child born on Saturday should be the
first heir to the dukedom that has been
born in the historic castle. The titles
to which he will succeed are more nu1
merous than those held by almost any
other peer.
The present duke is probably one of
the most unassuming men in the Brit
ish Isles. He succeeded his father as
fifteenth duke in 1860, when only Is,
and seventeen years later married

THE GENERAL INTENTION
recommended by His Holiness,
Plus X
THE SEMINARIES.

IN almost every diocese there are col
1ages in which young men aspiring to
me priesthood are formed for the Of
fee 70 which God has called them.
without priests the work of the church
cannot be carried on. Unless the priests
are formed upon the example of the
Great High Priest, that work will be
done very imperfectly HON important
then this intention recommended dur
ing this month of the Precious Blood!
We are to pray that our Lord will send
worknen into the vineyard, as the har-
vest is ever ripe for the reaping.
Then, too, we are to petition the
sacred Heart that those engaged in
the training of the young Levites may
he guided by the spirit that filed the
soul Of our blessed Saviour in the for
nation Of His disciples.
We shall also be earnest in prayer
for those aspiring to so sacred a cali
ing In so holy a choice no motive
cave the highest ought to find place.
All who take that yoke upon their
shoulders should do so with the long
ing to win souls to the Master. In
their years of preparation they must
school themselves TO weigh the world
and the things of time at their proper
value. They viii have to exercise them
selves in those virtues which will de-
veloD within them a love of prayer
and the altar, a zeal for the souls for
which Christ died. Their one aim will
he such that they can say with St
Paul. 4 live, now not I, but Christ
Iiveth in me-" What higher object of
Drayer to the Sacred Heart. during the
month when we commemorate the
shedding Of the Precious Blood!

A Mothers Prayer.

God bless and keep my little boy,
Guard body and guide mind,
Mix not his gold with base alloy
Dross to the worldly kind.
Oh. lay on me the care and pain!
Spare him a little while;
The heartsease will never spring again
Which blooms now in his smile.
Roll not the years too fast, o Cod!
l fain would longer keep
This tousled head which now doth nod,
Finding the way to sleep.
And let not time, with foot roughshod,
My few small charms destroy;
For there be years to come, o God.
When 1 must WOO my boy.
Lend sweetness to his mothers voice
To charm his critic ear;
For siren songs will court his choice
AS manhood draweth near.
Only the tender years are mine
All, stretch their shortening span,
Yet. if | must my charge resign,
Make him, o God, a Man!

MOTHERS DARLINGs.

".en pretty eyes are closed in sleep.
,,- ana angels watch around their beds:
When evening shadows softly Green
Through western windows DER tbeir
heads
play, eii
And chubby faces nestled down.
When Ger the hills and far away
Ihey toddle off through SIumber
Town
When tiny lips have lisped their prav-
ers
By mothers knee. with white limbs
bare:
When they have climbed the drowsy
stairs
That lead away to Blanket Fair
Then DER the house a silence Greens.
And mothers head is dropping down.
She, too. is tired, and softly sleeps-
She joins her babes in Slumber Town.

Confidence in God.

When people lose confidence in God
they are guilty of the sin that is not
forgiven in this world or the next. St
Thomas says that charity is the prin-
ciple of merit, but confidence is the
principle of importation. We must
learn to have confidence in God; to
hope even against hope. Abraham was
promised long line of descendants
through his son Isaac. Yet at the COM
mand of God he was ready to sac
rifice him; hoping, as st. Paul says,
against hope. After an act of love
there is nothing that so honors God
as an act of hope. The favors of God
are always a gauge of further favors
He gives because He gave. He says
by the PsalmiSt Thou wilt call on
me in thy tribulation. 1 will rescue
thee, and thou shalt honor Me" When
He was about to scourge the people
of Israel, Moses recalled to his mind
the many and wondrous benefits He
had conferred them. One would think
this poor way of appeasing the Di-
vine wrath. 1t would appear the surest
way of arousing Gods further resent
ment. But Moses knew better. His
argument prevailed, and the people
were saved. What causes hope to die
in the heart is the overwhelming sense
of guilt. People must be taught that
sin is rather an inducement to hope.
The man who approaches God with
confidence in his own goodness insults
the Divine Majesty, like the Pharisee
in the Gospel. We have no merit we
can justly call our own, and we owe
all the good we possess TO the sheer
mercy of God. Sin is no obstacle to
hope. no bar to confidence. The greater
the sinner. the stronger should be his
hope, for God does not want his death.
We should not hate or condemn our
brother because he is a sinner. The
despair of the few is the contempt of
the many. We must love sinners, and
we must teach them to hope

In 1887 the duchess died. and the

wished to retire from the world and
spend the rest of his life in some re-
ligious order but the urgent represen-
tations of his friends. including Queen
Victoria, Lord Salisbury and Cardinal
Newman, prevented him from taking
this course Instead he devoted him
self to the care of his invalid son and
the performance of any public duty
that came his way. In 1892 his son
died. and two years later the duke mar
ried again.
In spite of his vast wealth and high
position, the present Duke of Norfolk
scorns delights. He prefers old gar
ments to new, and can boast the proud
distinction of being the worst dressed
man in the house of lords, which has
been called the worst dressed assem-
blage in Europe.
Very short, with a busting, rolling
gait, a long, dark. untrimmed beard
dressed in old, questionable, even
shabby clothes. he certainly does not
suggest externally the premier Duke
and Earl Marshal of England Once
it is said he went into a shop in Ports
mouth, and the proprietor, thinking he
had come in answer to an advertise
ment for an assistant, told him the
place was filled and offered him six
pense to cover his disappointment. The |
duke, who is not without humor, took |
ii with thanks and went.
On another occasion, when the beau
tifully kept. grounds of Arundel were
thrown open for a school children's |
treat, the Duke was crossing one of |
his lawns when a teacher followed him, |
shouting:

butterfly" Men.

We find the following in the Calendar
of the Paulist church, New York, but
its application is ont confined to New
York. Many young men in this city
and elsewhere will find that it strikes
them in a weak spot 1t deserves to be
read and remembered.
This question has often been asked,
and the answer must nearly always be
in the negative. Is it honest for a
young man to monopoliZe the time of
a young girl for one or two years
without any definite matrimonial object
in view? No, decidedly it is not honest
but, on the contrary, it Is very dishon-
est and will eventually bring its own
reward on the offender.
80 many young men think they are
perfectly justified in their butterfly acts
jumping from one flower to another
at will-that their sense of duty, their
conscience, seems to have left them. 1t
is true that every young Alan who in
tends to wed has the right to a certain
amount of time during which he may
judge whether the girl whom he visits
will be for him worthy partner in life
But the average young man can settle
that question in less time than it takes
his employer to increase his salary, if
he is honest, noble and manly, and
above all, if he is in earnest.
But the truth is that so many are
not in earnest. They Keep company, so
to speak, just as long as it suits them
selves, and then discover some other
girl in order to waste her time and spoil
her chances of better man. If you
are keeping company, so to speak
again. find out just how your young
man treated his last girl; it's good
test, and may be of service to you in
sizing up his character"
