 A MULTIPLIED FIGURE.

A muffled figure, fraught with woe, Observes the airman upward go And fingers there, content to wait The swift revolving wheels of fate. Its form unseen, its ghastly face
 The bane of all the human race;; Its every feature framed in gloom. The dread insignia of the tomb. Aioft the airman's craft careens. That form below expectant leans; A multitude's suspended breath A crash!-the Harvester is Death.

WHEN TO MARRY.

Several magazines, among them Elk
tension, have been discussing the
advantages of marrying early, and
inQuiring why so many men nowadays
either shun matrimony altogether or
defer it till well on toward middle life.
The salary question of course figures
prominently in the arguments. One
expert is of the opinion that at pres
ent a man should not think of marry
ing on less that $1,000 year, and on
the other hand he is urged to wed at
twenty-three or twenty-five. To re-
quire from a prospective bridegroom
this annual income is discouraging to
many a young man who ought to
marry. A thrifty couple it would seem
could live in comfort upon less. But
thrift is not considered now the favor
lite virtue of young wives, for they have
enjoyed before marriage so many SUI
perfiuities that husbands who desire a
quiet house, must see that these lux
uries are still provided.
But is it true that poverty always
clips the wings of love? Does the hap
piness of a marriage depend chiefly
on the husbands salary? ITO keep
corner snug and warm for weans and
wife," even in these days of high
prices, should not be task too diff
cult for man who is young and sober
and Industrious In these discussions
it is to be feared that economic con-
siderations are emphasized to the ex-
clusion of those that are at least of
quite as much Importance.
Let Catholic young men who are
meditating marriage remember that
the contract is holy sacrament, con-
ferring on those who receive it worth
lily the grace to bear with patience the
burdens of their state. This light and
grace from on high, moreover, when
once given, can always be revived or
renewed by earnest prayer. Matri-
mony after all is the vocation in which
God intends that most men should
save and hallow their souls. Hence
another argument for marrying early.
For how many young men through a
selfish love of independence and a
craven fear of the responsibilities of
the welded life have ended by neglect
ing completely the practice of their re-
ligion The money they squander in
sinful dissipation, if saved, would
make a joyful home for welded holt
ness. Finally who are the men in our
churches that are most conspicuous
both in number and in prominence for
assisting at Mass, for frequenting the
sacraments, and for promoting with
enthusiasm every Catholic enterprise?
Are they not the married men of the
congregation? America

THE CHILDREN'S HOUR.
WHO'S AFRAID?

Who's afraid in the dark?
ooh, not l." said the owl
And he gave a great scowl
And he wiped his eye
And fiuffed his jowl-"Tee whoo!'
Said the dog: 81 bark
Out loud in the dark-Boo-oo!"
Said the cat: "Miew!
I'll scratch any one who
Dare say that I do
Feel afraid-Miew!'
Afraid" said the mouse,
"Of the dark in the house?
Hear me scatter
Whatever's the matter

Then the toad in the hole
And the grub in the ground,
They both shook their heads
And asked the word round;
And the bird in the tree
And the fish and the bee
They declared, all three,
That they never did see
One of them afraid

HOME MAKING.

There is no higher achievement for
woman than the making of happy
home; and she can have no qualities
too fine, no gifts too noble to be
utilized in this high endeavor. Physi-
cal strength, good looks, even temper,
fine intelligence, tact, conversational
gift, musical skill, are never better
placed than as component parts in
the happiness of family life.
Indeed, only woman of that very
high and comprehensive order of in
telligence which old-fashioned New
Englanders called faculty" is best
fitted to make a true home. Think of

REQUIEM FOR THE
DEAD.

Written For The Catholic by Rev.
Henry 3. Tierney, Trenton, MOI
In the fall of the year
Comes the fall of the tear
And all of them here
Are sad;
For the fall of the year
And the fall of the tear
Are the gall and the fear,
Yea, the pail and the bier
Of the dead.
But even the pang of sorrow leaves
a thrill of joy. There is a splendid
beauty which escapes even the horror
of the scene when the fair virgin mar
tyr, stript of wealth, honor and man
tie, mingles her dying prayers with
the fierce animal rage of the bounding
leopard which craunches her tender
bones in his blood dripping jaws.
There is beauty in the lingering
sigh Of dying child. There is
splendor even in sombre widowhood.
There is, too, mysterious, resplen-
dent beauty in the blush of the dying
year, when nature strews the couch
with autumn leaves.
Have you been out in the silent
woods during the past few days? Have
you seen the grand old hills en-
blaZoned with the heraldry of autumn?
The crest of royalty is there, mounting
the House of Death. The crimson
blood of martyrdom flecks the field of
virgin gold. The standard of royal
purple is mantled with pale blue stars.
The seasons armored legion is rest
ing on the hills. The sunlight falling
on their varied helmets glisten at
MONDAY like a shower of shimmering
gold shaken from the angels wings.
Standing upon a slight elevation I
saw in the distance wooded forest
whose leaves were aglow with the
broken rainbow's deepest hues. The
splendid array seemed to be an army
of giant angels who, wearied with
much travel in the valleys of men,
had folded their gold-becrimsoned
wings and, bowling their heads to the
East, were resting on the peaceful
hills And then I heard the sudden
signing Of the sad, November winds.
1t was the voice, in plaintive unison,
of the suffering souls of purgatOry.
And the message of that sigh? All, it
was the same story as that so elo-
quently told by the green, gold and
crimson of the autumn leaves. These
giant angels were praying-praying,
praying. AS YEARLY wound my way
homeward I, too, murmured the De
Profundis and my soul was indeed
lifted out of the depths. I knelt on
consecrated ground, for Nature, with
strange IiturgicaI contradiction, in
vestments of crimson and gold, the
raiment of the living, was saying Mass
for the dead.
