Don't Force Vocatlons.

1t is appalling to thing of the great
number of boys that come to naught as
men, and all through the want of pa
rental prudence or thought. Do not
laugh at your boy because of his desire
to do something in no way kindred to
your work; your sneer may beget de-
spair in useful soul. How many great
ones in history fled from pursuance
Of which they won renown?
Nature has her inspirations that no
ill-usage will stifle Encourage your
boy to follow his own promptings, and
perfect his aptitude for some particular
role in life. You can not and ought
not straight-jacke honest and honor
able desire. Do not condemn him as
dreaming. Even so "the dreamer lives
forever" as dreams prove often the
fountain-source of thought. You can
not recast what is Unborn; you might
as well attempt to make the boys head
fit in your shoe; to attempt it is brutal
as the Chinese custom of COMPRISING
feet. Let him alone!
Permit him to show his proper wish
in the choice of a state of life, and then
with counsel and prayer direct him. Do
not make him a lawyer, a doctor, a
priest. You can not make over Nature.
You con not force Gods special purpose
in your child's creation. If you do you
will spoil his destiny and interfere with
heavens decree. Be careful and prayer
full in touching the vocation of your
child, for heavens voice heard in the
hearts precincts is more forceful than
parental authority. 1t is a terrible
thing to misdirect, it is loss here and
maybe eternal loss.

War on the Pope Stopped.

A special cable to the New York Sun
saws that the attempt recently made by
italian anti-clericals to initiate an open
war against the Pope and the Vatican
with the object of forcing the Pope to
leave Rome, has failed. Naturally 1t
was realized DIT the beginning that the
undertaking was difficult of realization.
Still, the anti-clericals determined to
wage war on the Vatican even at the
risk of revolution.
What deferred them from the attempt
at present is the fear of international
complications and possibly armed for
eign Intervention in defense of the
Papacy. Signor Ettore Ferrari, grand
master of the italian Freemasons, dis
suaded the anti-clericals lest Austria
rush in to aid the Vatican and seek a
pretext for war AGAINST Italy.
Other anti-clerical leaders share the
same view. They allude to war with
Austria as the inevitable result of a
campaign against the Vatican. Antonio
Maffi fears a civil war. Luigi Mainiori
opposes the expulsion of the Pope. He
says 1t is better to watch your enemies
at close quarters. The scheme fell
through, Umberto Votari. its initiator,

The Art of Dying Well.

Speaking at the first MONDAY Lenten
service in the Old Cathedral, st. Louis,
Archbishop Glennon discoursed on THE
art of dying WE'LL
THE art of dying WELL" said his
grace, lis the art of living well. There
are three things that business people
never like to do-to make their wills, to
settle their spiritual account and to
die. Consequently, the last days of the
business mans or the worldly womans
life are very pathetic. They have
learned many things, but not the art of
dying we'll.
1T is very important thing for you
to learn the art of dying well. How will
you learn it? BY f1attering yourself
that Mother Church will send you a
priest when you are dying, that Mother
Church will guard you from the evil
one. Is that the art of dying we'll? No.
There are those who follow these tao
tics, not out of regard for the church
power to undo the past, but because it
suits better their way of living.
1.-The art of dying we'll is not a me-
chanical art. 1t is not question of the
mere surroundings of a death bed. 1t is
not a question of sending for a priest
when your life is finished. Who knows
but that the priest may have speeded
many soul to punishment instead of
reward? The priest may say, Depart,
Christian soul, to the God that created
you
1.-The soul may depart But not to
mercy, but to judgment.
'The art of dying well is not system
of check and counter check. whereby
you say, We'll, now l am going to die;
| commend my soul to God. l haven't
thought of Him, nor of faith, during my
life, but God is merciful He will take
me back
You may not be sure that such an
opportunity is given you. What is the
art of dying we'll? The art of dying
well is defined in this way. 1t is the art
of living well. Remember, as you have
lived so you will die The fate that is
ahead of you depends on your life work
and on your duty here. Do not apply
for extenuation. You cannot play
tricks. To live for God means to die
with God. Remember death not as a
gruesome tragedy that terminates this
existence, but as a sequel to a life we'll

The Catacombs.

Many ancient testimon are eXtant
to prove that the burial of every mem

times of persecution and in the time of
peace, accompanied by religious acts.
the pryers of the church and the pres
ence of the priest. 1t was always re-
garded as one of the most tender and
precious duties of Christian affection
and we know with what reverential care
the bodies of the martyrs, each relic and
drop of their blood We're gathered from
the arena where they fell, and how the
faithful exposed their own lives to COL
lect it. The poet, PrudentiuS, describes
the eager crowd that pressed around
the body of the martyr Vincent to
dip linen napkins in his blood, and
carry them home as precious treasures.
The body was accompanied by the rela-
tons, and by their brethren in the faith
to the chant of psalms and canticles, in
procession with tapers and torches.
and great triumphs" as we read of the
burial of st. Cyprian in Carthage, al
though the persecution ragged; the legis-
latiOn and the Romans respect for the
dead depressing their hatred of the liv-
ing, and preventing its violent mani
festation. A similar pomp of triumph
accompanied the remains of st. Agnes
from the Forum to her parents villa on
the Momentum way. Inc plOuS Of
flee of Deposition" or burial was per-
formed in one of the chambers of the
cemetery. Before the body was laid in
its niche the sacrifice pro dormitione,"
for repose, as st. Cyprian calls it, or an
earlier witness, Tertullian, "obatio pro
defunctis," the oblation for the depart
ed. was offered; the body meanwhile
resting before the tomb it was to oc-
cupy. This is what st. Augustine tells
us was done at the funeral of his
mother Monica, when the sacrifice of
our Redemption was offered for her,
with her body laid out before her grave,
according to the custom" The immense
number of cubicula makes it probable
that it was in them that the oblations
for the dead were offered on the day
of deposition, and the third the sew
enth, the thirtieth and the anniversary
day. These private offices We're dis
tinct from the solemn synaXis, which
was offered in the full assembly of the
faithful, in a church, or, in times of
danger, in the larger chambers of the
catacombs. The body was then placed,
without coffin of any sort, in the grave,
laid face upward, with the hands COM
posed by the sides, wrapped in linen
covered with a thin stratum of lime,
other linen and more lime. Flowers
and green leaves were scattered over it,
the niche was closed, and aromatic
liquids sprinkled on the marble.

in September, and that the cardinal
archbishop of Baltimore has formally
signified his intention to be present at
the congress, Notwithstanding his years
and engagements. Canada will warmly
welcome these princes of the church.
Cardinal Vincent Vannutelli is one of
the six cardinal bishops of the HER
archy. reduced to five the other day by

Words of Wisdom.

Never put a sword in a mad mans
hand.
Never speak i'll of those whose bread
you eat
Never show your teeth unless you
can bite
Never take hammer to break an
egg.
Never tell your foe when your foot
sleeps.
Nobility without ability is like pud-
ding without suet.
Malice is ever mindful.
Maidens should be mild and meek,
quick to hear and slow to speak.
Lock your door, that you may keep
your neighbors honest.
He's well worthy of sorrow who
buys it.
He that counts all cost will never
put pillow in the ground.
Use the means and God will give
the blessing.
Search others for their virtues, thy
self for faults.
The greatest wealth is contentment
with little.
The handsomest flower is not the
sweetest.
The hotter the war the sooner the
peace.
The last sutton wins the maid.
The lions skin is never cheap.
A mill can not grind with the water
that is past.
A mob has many heads but no
brains.
An offender never pardons.
The path of virtue is the path Of
peace.
The truest jests sound worst IN
guilty ears.
They need much whom nothing will
content

The Town of Noqood.

My friends, have you heard of the town
of Nogood,
On the banks of the River Slow,
Where blooms the Waitawhile flower,
fair,
And the sometimeorother scents the
air,
And the soft Goeasys grow?
1t lies in the valley of Whatstheuse,
In the province of Letherslide,
That tired feeling is native there,
It's the home of the reckless Idontcare,
Where the Giveitups abide.
The town is as old as the human
And it grows with the flight of years.
1t is wrapped in the flag of idlers'
dreams,
Its streets are paved with discarded
schemes,
And sprinkled with useless tears.
The college-bread fool, and the Rich
mans heir
Are plentiful there, 10 doubt.
The rest of the crowd are a motley
crew,
With every glass except one in view
The FOolkiller is barred out.
My friend from the dead-alive town
Nogood
If you would keep away,
Just follow your duty through good and
i'll,
Take this for your motto: II can! 1
will~
And live up to it each day.

Where Peace and Concord Are.

We recently witnessed a beautiful
and edifying sight in a local church. A
young man and his wife were reading
from the same prayer book. When he
was ready to turn the page he would
look the question to his partner and she
would signify by slight inclination of
the head whether she had finished the
page or not. The thought presented it
seld to our minds, how pleased must
God be to see husband and wife thus
praying in unison, with child-like sim
plicity reading the same prayer book.
What a beautiful argument in behalf of
Catholic marriages! How inspiring TO
see husband and wife come like little
children to the feet of our divine Lord
to ask His blessings on all their under
takings during the coming week! Ger
tainly Gods sacred shadow should and
does hover over this household and in
such a home should one expect to find
true peace and Christian concord.-EX-

Saying Good Bye.

There are many persons who avoid
saying goodbye when parting with
friends. There is something so akin
to actual pain about it that many per-
sons steer clear of the formal mode of
leave-ta taking. The summer vacation
means the reuniting of friends or fami-
lies and half it's pleasure is lost for a
while when the poignant fact that a
separation is necessary must be faced.
Parents and children are again sepa-
rated, sweethearts friends. acquaint-
ances, relatives and one kindred tie
severed from another. 1t was Bulwer

stances will be under which we meet

many meetings. but no one can expect

and the cycle of time brings about its
various changes and moves friends
farther apart and knowing this, we re-
luctantly depart from those who have

weakened Catholic who is ashamed to
stand by his colors;
eff you speak of Catholic grievance
to a Catholic member of the parliament
of New South Wales, he turns pale, his
knees shake, and he looks as if he had
suddenly remembered an appointment
at his dentists. Better say nothing
about it, old man. he advises nervously.
If you persist, he talks Of his wife and
children, and the broad-minded Protest
ants who vote for him and whom he
mustn't offend. He probably advises
you to go to Protestant member and
state the case. 1t will come better
from him. he says, with a degraded
wink Thus it is that we generally find
Protestant members speaking up for our
hospitals and defending our orphan
asyLums-on the rare occasions when
defense is needed. Naturally, they are
not very strong on these occasions, for
they have not these particular interests
at heart; nor are they fully in possess
sion of the facts. Moreover, they think
it strange that the Catholic members
are not ND and doing for themselves"

kind, placid faces they minister to the
suffering and speak cheerful words to
each. The mother superior, who told
