P. Meehan has enriched the fifth edi-
ton of his Rise and Fall of the Irish
Franciscan Monasteries and Memoirs
of the Hierarchy" with the original ac-
count of the journey from Kenmare to
Kilkenny of 'Rinuccini Archbishop of
Ferno, who was sent to Ireland as Pa
pal Nuncio in 1645. Massari, Dean of
Fermo, accompanied the Nuncio as
secretary, and wrote the narrative
which is 'given in the appendix to the
work just cited. The secretary speaks
more than once with genuine delight
of the elegant hospitality with which
the distinguished visitors were enter
tanned by the lords and ladies of
Munster. 1.-The women" he says, ARE
exceedingly beautiful and heightened
their attractions by their matchless
modesty and ~piety..
Nor was it alone among the higher
classes that these characteristics re-
mained distinctly marked during the
days Of the nations trial. They
were noticeable In the farmers cot
tage and the peasants hut. The poor
mans wife did not turn the weary and
hungry from her door: she received
the poor scholar with a motherly well
Gomez she accustomed her children to
Mink nothing of run of two or three
fmiles to the hedge-school. BY precept
and exasafip she tknght them fidelity
to the Faith, love for the old land, rev.
erence for Gods ministers, and re-
spect for learning.
The high moral tone pervading the
social life of the humber classes was
at once the cause, and consequence. Of
the important position which the wom-
EN- maintained al the domestic hearth,
and of the beneficial sway they exer-
cised among the neighbors of the same
degree.
Perhaps the best testimony borne to
the genuine worth of the poor Catho-
lie people was that afforded by the GUS
tom which prevailed among the Prot
estant families Of sending their chill
dren to be nursed or fostered by the
peasantry. Sons and heirs destined
to fill prominent posts and daughters
born to luxurious homes were in all
trust committed to the care of peas
ant women, and grew from tender in
fancy to hardy childhood in the noun
tain cabins, sharing the homely fare
and joining in the sports of their fos-
ter brothers and sisters One thing
was certain: the nurses fidelity and
affection could be implicitly relied on,
and the gentleman's child would have
no vice to unlearn when transferred
from the peasants guardianship to the
protection of the parental roof.

The date was less than year be-
fore, but much had happened in that

She had offered to give him back
the ring then, but he had pushed
past her and out CT the house. That
was the last he had seen of her. The
following week he had been called
out of town and wher he returned
he had been told that she had gone

band that had brought SO much hap

He placed 1t carefully In his

that evening he conjured up visions
of what might have been.
That trip west had been the turn
ing point in his fortunes. He had
made money for himself and others.
Had she only been patient he could
have exchanged the gold band for a
solitaire and she would be sitting on
