more powerful than at any epoch IN its previous
history. No Roman citizen allowed to ignore
or deny the state religion Vanquished provinces
were permitted by the senate to place the images
of their national deities side by side with the Ro
man gods to be worshipped, but was al
lowed to repudiate the state religion. A deter
mined effort was made to Romantic all conquered
nations, a policy always adopted by England Ill
her conquests, and by the United States in her
newly acquired territories. This policy adopt
ed by the pagan emperors, and the first sign of the
dissolution of the empire did not appear till the
close of the third century. Paganism and the
state indissolube, much so, that the pa
gans attributed the decline and fall of the Roman
Empire to the progress of Christianity. One I'M
deniable historical fact is that in proportion to
the progress of Christianity, the growth and IN
fuence paganism in the wane, and that
heather temples cOnsecrated by usage and COW
cred with the dust of ages crumbled and dlsap-
peared Christianity advanced. In the fierce
struggle between paganism and Christianity, the
former never relented in their cruelties. Even
Traian, who prevented the officers from hunting
them, issued edict that any person, accused and
convicted of being a Christian, should be put to
death
Notwithstanding the long and fierce conflict
in which paganism fought valiantly yet it stands
out as historical fact that few illiterate fisher
men from the lake of Genesareth, belonging by
race to the despised nation of the Jews, changed
not only the creed but the moral life of the whole
Roman people. Then they had some secret power
which the pagans did not have. What was it The
supernatural, and against that "the gates of hell
could not prevail" F. d.

Fiddler Phil.

Come, give us scrape of the fiddle said and
drew from the kitchen shelf
fiddle as battered and old, tedad, as Fiddler Phil
himself
For many a summer and winter had thrown their
heat and cold in his face
But his eyes held the beauty of old Tyrone and the
pride of a princey race
With bricks and mortar and sand and stone his
hands were roughened and brown
But that fiddle had come from his own Tyrone and
it spoke of his native town;
And he touched the strings unto passionate cries
that swept the breath from our lips,
While years of toiing and alien skies were bridged
in a time eclipse.
We were back again in the wind-swept North, above
us the low clouds sped,
Beneath our feet native earth and the
graves of our resting dead
We saw the glories of old unroll-O'Neill went
forth to the fray
And our hands were clenched in a storm of soul
for the JOY of a battle day
Then came rushing of Maytime rain from the
purple peaks Of the hills,
We saw the young leaves sway in the lane, the
flashing of daffodils,
We heard the calling of mating birds, the laugh of
a mountain stream.
And loch and glen and meadow and fen were
glory of CLINT and CLEAN.
Then Fiddler Phil. with his grey eyes set DER the
verge of unseen world,
Muted the strings unto awful things from the edge
of black night hurled;
The banshee cried and souls replied
shivered like reeds astir,
For the spirit Of Erin was scourged again and We
vailed to the gods with her.
Then, soaring up to the heights of life with
frenzy of JOY and pride
He drew us up from the stress and strife to the
place where dreams abide.
We saw the Land of our warnings stand in Lib
ertys flame of day
And the Lords of the Law arise to draw the wells
from her face away.
That rapture of melody died away; Phil laid his
fiddle aside.
Sure It's old and cold like myself" he said 'for
it died when my young days died"
@There is no death for your fiddle or YOU, we whis-
pered in broken tone,
.While hearts are loyal and souls ring true to the
spirit Of old Tyrone"
t c. Brayton in the Rosary Magazine.

or false. History proves the contrary. Hence the
very fact that Christianity, instead of being wiped
out by the violent heather prosecutions ,fourished
and gained power and strength is a strong argu-
ment in favor of its truth and supernatural aid
One thing certain is that "the gates of hell did
not prevail against it."
Some, to discredit the victory gained by Chris
tanity, aege that pagansm was in the wane and
disproved by many of its philosophers when Chris
tianity first preached. This is grave error
There may be Individuals as there have been in
every age, who Indifferent, or skeptica but
never had the pagan superstition stronger and
more tenacious hold on the great masses of the
people in Rome and the western provinces than in

The Way to Float.

This is the advice of an old swimmer to those
who cannot swim: ANY human being who will
have the presence of mind to clasp the hands be-
hind his back and turn the face toward the zenith
may float and in perfect safety in tolerably
still water
''When you first find yourself in deep water, you
have only to consider yourself an empty pitcher
Let your mouth and your and not the top of
your heavy head be the highest part of you, and
you are safe. But thrust up of your bony
hands and down you go, turning up the handle
tips the pitcher" There are reason aud logic
in this

THE LOST PUDDING.

Miss Kitty was rude at the table one day,
And would not sit still on her seat;
Regardless of all that her mother could say,
From her chair little Kitty kept running away
All the time they were eating their meat.
As soon as she saw that the meat was remov'd,
She ran to her chair in great haste;
But her mother such giddy behavior reprov'd
By sending away the sweet pudding she lovd,
Without giving Kitty one taste.

HARD-HEARTED BOYS.

If there is one thing God does not like, it is
the reckless neglect of a mothers advice boy
may have his passions and weaknesses, but when he
laughs his mothers counsel into scorn, he may not
expect much of a return from heaven. The hardest
heart for the priest to reach is the heart that is
wilfully unmindful of a mothers love and that
willingly does without her care. Such heart must
not be very agreeable field for Gods mercy.
