Where Is Your Prayer Book?

1t would not be safe to argue from
the scarcity of prayer books among our
young men at holy mass that they can
not read; neither would it be fair to in
fer from this same fact a high degree
of illiteracy among the stalwart lads
of the parish.
Many Of the saints, while attending
the Holy Sacrifice of the mass, were
wrapt in such a close communion with
God and their hearts were so flooded
with divine love that they did not need
the aid of prayer books to suggest fit
expression of alteration; but with the
innate humility of our young men they
would reject such a reason for the
dearth of prayer books, if the pastor
were rash enough to ascribe it to them.
They need prayer books to assist
them in their devotions to teach them
the right form of prayers, to avoid dis
traction and thus help to concentrate
their attention upon the holy act in
which they are engaged.

U. S. cathoIlc Sailor Boys.

Through the kindness of Captain Ev-
erhardt. who commands the New York
training ship, Newport, all the Catholic
boys on the ship assisted at mass in
st. Ansgaar church while the Newport
was anchored at Copenhagen, Den
mark. The good behavior of the New
port boys excited much favorable COM
ment. They gave a boxing match and
baseball contest for charity. The
Ranger of Boston, which followed, was
enthusiastically received, and the Ran
ger boys made nearly $500 for the Chill
dren's hospital by an exhibition OF
stepping" as the Danes call clog
dancing. These young Americans, -
says the Danish News, ARE well
brought up"

The Road to Yesterday.

Close by the path of every day
The winding roadway lies;
We breathe the incense of the dawn
Beneath the solemn skies,
And 10, cloud curtains lift and bring
Old scenes before our eyes!
A sound of bell on summer eve,
A breath of violets bloom,
When touch of little clinging hand
Comes with the faint perfume
And then the road to yesterday
Breaks shining through the gloom!
We catch a glimpse of snowy peaks
Above a shadowed vale:
Or down some mountains sloping side
There bloom the wild flowers pale;
Or on the far horizon falls
A light on sinking sail
Along the Road to Yesterday
Lie palaces of light
And windy caves in barren lands
Whereof no man has sight,
And strange moons round stranger
earth
Draw wild tides in the night!
The road leads over sunken seas
And stretch of desert sands,
The stars of long past ages shine
Ger wondrous twilight lands:
And there are long-forgotten friends
Who once have clasped our hands!

The Magic Mirror of the Saloon.
(From Sacred Heart ReviewD

(From Sacred Heart Review.)
Walt Mason, western newspaper
man. does not write high-class poetry,
though we have no doubt he could do
so If he tried; nor does he condescend
to put his philosophical rhymes in cur
rent events and everyday happenings
into the usual form. Walt casts all his
verses into prose form, so that one has,
in the beginning. to hunt for the
rhyme. But no one ever has to hunt
for the reason in Waits verses. Take
for instance the following, which. for
all its slang, has a very. good lesson:
Il went one night with my high
priced thirst to loaf in the booze bazar.
and as | sampled the old red dope |
leaned on the handsome bar. NV purse
was full of the good long green. and
my raiment was smooth, and new. and
looked as sleek as a cabbage rose
that's kissed by the nice wet dew. Be-
hind the bottles a mirror stood, and I
looked and looked in the shining glass.
and wondered, and looked some more.
My own reelection did not appear. but
there where it should have been, | saw
the form of cringing bum all crum-
pied and soaked with gin. His nose was
red and his eyes were dim, unshorn was
his swollen face. and thought it queer
such seedy bo would come to so
smooth place. l turned around for a
better look at this eff1gy of despair, and
nearly fell in a little heap. for the eff
gy wasn't there! The barkeep laughed
It's the magic glass, he said, with a
careless yawn, 1T shows a man how
he's apt to look years hence when his
roll is gone." +"

Destiny.

Sailing out upon life's ocean,
Souls are tossing to and fro,
Till together two are drifting
Side by side, and learn to know
All the joy the other brings them;
Then they both are loath to part,
For tbs destiny uniting
Z Soul to soul and heart to heart.
Strange it seems, those souls are grow
ing,
Each one. in the others life
So important, were they parted,
Life would seem a useless strife.
Destiny, sly Cupid's workman,
Weaves a web to join two hearts,
Till they both are taken captive
Love her sweet joy then imparts,
In web Of fascination,
Destiny unites and binds,
Loving hearts she weaves together,
When the souls true mate she finds.
And they wonder how it happened,
They were drawn together so,
For the unseen power that guided
They could scarcely see or know.

Futurity.

Ny youth to me was like lovely
flower,
All flushed with crimson of its own
delight,
Its flamelike petals poised as if for
flight,
Ethereal child of changing sun and
shower,
Of misty dawn and night.
My age to me is like a golden fruit
Whole quality and sweetness have
been won
From earth's rough use-from alter
mating sun
And rain and that dark soil wherein my
root
Invisibly has run.
My soul to me is like a ripening seed
Which holds the heart of all that went
before
The flamelike flower and golden fruit
in store,
'Close-sealed, secure, in larger love and
deed
To live and bloom once more.

New York,s Debt. to the Irish.

OF obvious significance is the, fact
that although the Jews had a syna-
gogue in New York City from 1870 there
was no Catholic place of worship from
the time when (Governor) Dongan had
mass said within the fort until 1856
After the revolution, however, the spirit
of persecution gave place to one of toll
Grafton. An influx of Irish Catholics
now began and soon acquired such pro-
portions that by 1888 it was estimated
that there were 10000 residents of Irish
birth or descent on Manhattan island.
AS regards the quality Of the inflow at
that time and earlier, Justice Bowling
is justified in saying that New York
owes weighty debt of gratitude to the
race which gave the state it's first gov
ernor, George Clinton, the son of a
Longford county emigrant, and his
kinsman. De Witt Clinton, the father
of the Erie canal; which gave the city
its first mayor, James Duane, an Irish
mans son, and which gave the city
fame as the scene of a successful at
tempt to conquer the water by steam,
when the son of a Kilkenny man, Full
ton. saw the Clermont move up the

The ConsoIer.

Time comes to grief as sleep to weari-
ness.
on silent sandals and with shadowy
hair
Sleep bends to sooth the fretful day
time care,
And Time unto my grief shall do no less
But yet a little and his hands shall
press
Above the weeping eyes and close
them there,
Above the trembling lips, till all de-
spair
Lies like a sleeping child in his caress
And when my sorrow wakes it will moi
be
My sorrow any more, for 1 shall smile
Beholding it, to know it comforted;
No sorrow, but a gentle memory
That still may walk with me little
while,
At twilight, or when April boughs are
spread

Essentials Necessary to Poise.

The first essential of graceful walking
is poise The weight of the body must
be adjusted over the balls of the feet.
In correct poise the chest always leads,
the abdomen recedes, the back and head
assume their right positions. 1t goes
without saying that there can be no
grace in hasty walk. Haste causes ir-
regular and uncertain movements OF all
portions of the body, detracts from a
woman's dignity and makes rhythm i'm
possible.
Activity and right use of the feet are
the second essential of a graceful walk.
The feet have a double duty to perform
i'm bearing the weight and propelling
the body. When the standing position
is right, one leg is swung forward from
the hip, the knee acting in harmony,
and the ball of the foot touching first
The weight is so quickly transferred
that the heel makes no noise. Women
who walk heavily leave the weight on
the heel and are never graceful. The
general saying that one should walk
on the balls Of the feet has led some
people to try not touching the heel at
ALL The result is a mincing gait wholly
without dignity or grace.
The position of the feet should be
straight The weight of the body being
on one foot While the other is swinging
forward, the strongest position of the
foot should be taken, which is practi-
cally straight. AS children are always
taught to turn their toes out" this will
surprise many.
The carriage of the shoulder is an i'm
portant element in graceful walking.
Nervousness, self-consciousness and
haste show in stiffness of the shoul-
ders also in the aggressive elbows and
clasped hands. If the chest is well up
and forward, the shoulders will take
their natural position and the arms hang
at the sides. Forget your shoulders
and think only of your chest.-The De-

The cali of the HiIIs.

l list its sound in the night,
The surge song of the sea:
l mark it, welter of white
Or gray with the driven rain:
1 watch it broad and bright,
A sapphire harmony
But the hills call and the rills cali
so it's no for the hills again!
The ships go wavering by,
And fade on the faint sea rim;
Graceful the white gulls fly,
Their cry like a far refrain:
The low wind comes like a high
From the outer islands dim
But the hills call and the rills call,
so it's no for the hills again!
l turn my back on the foam.
On the long curved line of shore,
On the dunes and the reedy loam
And the murmur of the main.
Q, the hill man seeks his home
As the sailor the oceans roar!
Hark! the hills call and the rills call,
so it's no for the hills again!

The Household Girl.

A girl with one dimple and 400 freck-
les is a cinch if she possesses a sweet
disposition and knowledge of domes-
tic science. As homely as she NAV be
to the Rthinking world, she becomes
glorified when she dons the gingham
apron and goes into a shining kitchen
and pulls from the singing range the
wen made bread, the majestic pies and
the sublime potlicker. In the eyes of
her entranced husband she outgiitters
the queen of Sheba. and her children
rise up and call her blessed three times
a day and several times between meals.
When the bread is perfectly baked.
the coffee strong and hot, the steak
juicy and fragrant, the hash well built
and appetizing and the buttercakes light
and smoking as the melting butter is
absorbed, the spirit Of the Lord de-
scends upon that household LIE a dove

Battle Of Yawns and Gaps.

On the road to Sleepy Town,
When the sun is singing low,
Tousle Head and Curly Brown,
In their uniforms of snow,
Storm the steps upon the stair,
Pitter, patter up the flight,
Making music everywhere
In the frolic of the night.
There's a station just above
Where the little soldiers flock,
The tick-tack from the alcove,
Halts them both before the clock,
And the sun upon its face,
Sinking low, puts them to flight;
Then they scamper in a race
To the forts of snowy white.
On the way to Trundleville,
Pretty station fair to see,
Stop the travellers who will
Soon go rollicking and free
Through the magic land of dreams,
Where the pixie and the fay
Frolic by the crystal streams,
Turning nighttime into day.
Tousle Head and Curly Brown
Fight the battle, Yawns and Gaps,
But the sandman will not down,
For he holds the tiny chaps
In his grasp, and after tales
OF the fairies come the pray'rs-
Quiet reigns in Sleepyvales
In the nursery up stairs.

"Ten ThInus.,

Gently said an Orange woman, "and
over her desk I found a few sentences
framed in passepartout, which interest
ed me nightly. They certainly brought
their silent lesson with them. They
made such an impression upon me that
I copied them and mean to have them
where I may see them often.
Here are the sentences:
''Ten things for which no one has ever
been sorry. They are:
For doing good to all.
For being patient toward everybody
For hearing before judging.
For thinking before speaking.
For holding an angry tongue.
For being kind to the distressed.
For asking pardon for all wrongs.
For speaking evil of none.
For stopping the ears to talebear-
ers.
For disbelieving most of the i'll re-

keeninn the Nails Clean.

A South Orange woman who spends
much time working among her flowers
says that she has learned how to pre-
vent the nails becoming disfigured with
the soil. Before going to her favorite
garden patch she digs her fingers into a
cake Of white soap. The soap. which
lodges under the nails, makes it quite
impossible for any other substance to
get there. Then when the hands are
washed the soap disappears and leaves
lhe nails as clean as they were before
the gardening operations.
