THE GARDENS of the POOR Benefcent Work of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul.

Of soil. which sometimes seems hard
 and rough, but always SC attractive.
 so jealous of the affection and time
 of those who bend over it. May it
 please God that some of the vices
 born of idleness, so destructive to
 the homes of our poor, may be buried
 beneath many a bed of carrots or
 onions. Finally, just as the garden
 CT who protects young tree, some
 times himself plants roots into the
 soil which bears it. and sees green
 shoots coming forth, so in like man
 ner. the Charity which supports this work has caused buds to appear. Ali
 lection and mutual help among them
 selves have hardly any opportunity of
 Icing fostered and kept up in our poor families. In the crowded cities
 they inhabit they do not know one
 another. or at least, do not visit one
 another
 Tt would take a very little to draw them to a closer acquaintance, but
 too often, on the contrary, a very
 human weakness makes them rather jealous of one another with regard
 to the relief we bring them. See, therefore, how they will be drawn
 together by the neighborhood of a garden. How can men and women who, side by side, in the open air. make efforts to do the same work,
 endeayor to achieve the same object, nourish the same hopes; how can | they fail to confide in one another? ! The produce of their gardens they | will not consider the end of our char | ity. but it is theirs, their very own, | their work. Nor will they become ! jealous of one another, but will help | each other to improve it. yNo doubt, ! at the very first digging of the un- | cultivated soil. you will have noticed | the most skilful men with some ! knowledge Of gardening, teaching the 1 others how to set about it.
 They. gladly. with some little pride even. explain the way they l work. instructing the beginners, and ! soon these neighbors. having become 1 friends. exchange cuttings of plants | and seeds. What a favorable ground work for charity are these Lew | friendships sprung from similituue | of work and hopes, It IS sad thai
 some flowers communicate thelt | perfume to the odorless plants arouh'' them. The sweet and penetrating perfume of charity likewise impreG mates the hearts of those living near | Inc heart from which it emanates' l The poor could not remain long with ont experiencing this. For instance 1 if was one of our gardeners who pro posed last summer to put baskel I near the door of sbe plot into which | they could throw the vegetables they did not need, aud poor families having no garden could come anc
 partake of them
 4 Evidently the Society of St. Win f-cent is endeavoring to live up 10 th. high ideals Of its founder. Frederlei Ozanam. in the moral and s0ciaI up
 Iiu of the poor.
 The life and work of the late Pro
 lessor Thomas Dwight, devou Catholic, who was professor of ana
 tony at Harvard university for ove a quarter of a century and who's 1 research worK has attracted the at
 tention of the anatomical world proves conclusively that there is no now, nor never has been any conflic ! | science. It is a notable fact tha
 ! most of the eminent men who mad great original investigations in tn 1 science of medicine have been ds yout and faithful Catholics. Profes
