THE CHILDREN'S HOUR.
ANOTHER STORY.

There was once family of little
larks who lived with their mother in
nest in cornfeld. When the corn
was ripe the mother lark watched very
carefully to see if there were any
signs of the reapers coming, for she
knew that when they came their sharp
knives would cut down the nest and
hurt the baby larks. So every day,
when she went out for food, she told
the little larks to look and listen very
closely to everything that went on,
and to tell her all they saw and heard
when she came home.
One day when she came home the
little larks were much frightened.
"Oh, mother, dear mother" they
said, you must move us away tonight!
The farmer was in the field today, and
he said, The corn is ready to cut; We
must call in the neighbors to help
And then he told his son to go out to-
night and ask all the neighbors to
come and reap the corn tomorrow"
The mother lark laughed. Don't be
frightened" she said; 'if he waits for
his neighbors to reap the corn We
shall have plenty of time to move;
tell me what he says tomorrow"
The next night the little larks were
quite trembling with fear. The mo-
ment their mother got home they
cried out: Mother, you must surely
move us tonight! The farmer came
today and said, The corn is getting
too ripe; we cannot wait for our neigh
bOrS; we must ask our relatives to
help u.s. And then he called his son
and told him to ask all the uncles and
cousins to come tomorrow and cut the
corn. Shall we not move tonight"
Don't worry" said the mother lark.
THE uncles and cousins have plenty
of reaping of their own to do; we'll
not move yet"
The third night when the mother
lark came home the baby larks said:
Mother dear, the farmer came to the
field today, and when he looked at the
corn he was quite angry; he said:
This will never do! The corn is get.
ting too ripe; it's no use waiting for
our relatives, We shall have to cut this
corn ourselves And then he called
his son and said, Go out tonight and
hire reapers, and tomorrow we will
begin to cut"
Well" said the mother lark, that
is another story; when a man begins
to do his own business, instead of ask

THE GENTLEMAN.

To be a gentleman it is not neces-
sary to follow the latest styles, wear
patent-leather shoes, rainbow-colored
socks, and all the other trimmings,
writes Rev. e. Kuehnel in the Homi-
letic Monthly Such things may be
good enough for rummy in cloth
ing store, or a brainless dude. Some
must be sissy. But an overgrown
baby is a poor apology for a man.
Others have the mistaken idea that
a gentleman must have no more back
bone than dishrag, tolerating and
permitting wrong, for fear he might
injure the feelings of some brute. Such
conduct, however, is cowardice, and
a thing most heartily despised by
true gentleman. If our passions and
animal strength are stronger than the
powers of our soul, we will be either
DULLES or towards, according to the
advantages from either standpoint.
Hence neither expensive clothes, nor
polished manners nor the strength Of
a Samson, nor money, are necessary
conditions for being gentleman.
To be gentlemen we must have
soul stronger and noblef than our body.
The body must not be master of the
soul; the soul must govern the body.
Only then, when the soul is able to
govern and direct the forces of the
body, when it can check and control
our animal passions, are We entitled to
receive the highest title under the
sun-the title of gentleman.
And you, boys, to become gentle
men in later years you must be gen
tleboys" at the present time. There
is an old saying: "You cannot make
a silk purse out of a sow's ear"
know every one of you will want to
be a gentleman in later years. To be-
come true gentleman you cannot
begin training any too soon.
How are you to go about in this
training?
From day to day you grow in size
and strength of body. From day to
day you realize that you can do more,
and do better, than few months ago.
Now this very growth and increasing
strength of body is not without its
dangers. Because you realize your
strength you may be easily made to
think that all things are in your power
and your mercy. Because you realize
your strength, you may think you can
handle things and people as you like,

ANNOUNCING ENGAGEMENTS.

There is no need for Catholics to
resort to the custom of modern soct-
ETY. in announcing engagements of
marriage, says the Los Angeles It'd
ings, when some social function given
by the friends of a bride-elect is
chosen to convey the news to her cir
Gle of friends, for, like the wise Moth
er that she u.s., the Church protects
the sanctity of marriage even in be-
trothal, and in the publishing of the
banns from the altar she announces
the approaching marriage of her chill
dren. What more fitting than that
mother should convey the news of
priest of God, before the altar of the
Blessed Sacrament, should proclaim
the solemn pledge of two young
hearts, to be united for life in the
Sacrament of Matrimony? How vain
and frivolous appear engagement an
our daily papers in comparison to the
sacred aspect of banns published from
the altar, and what a privilege it
should be esteemed by all Catholics
contemplating matrimony, to have
their engagement thus announced.
Catholic parents should impress this
thought upon the minds of their chill
dren; and not let them be swayed, by
the frivolous customs of some particu-
lar social set, into giving to their ap-
preaching marriage even the appear
ance of society event.

THE COMMON WAY.

Full soon shall you be numbered with
the dead,
Full soon shall I my summons also
hear;
Why should we quarrel then? Why
not instead,
Salute, clasp hands, part with
word of cheer?
For o, this little span of ours-how
brief!
How small beside the great unmeas-
ured sphere
Which still were all too small to hold
our grief
II we should meet there all our
harsh words here.
So since we each must go the COM
mon way
Of common flesh, to one great COM
mon goal,
Well for us could our wisdom, day by
day,
Read each others weakness by our
own.
By ours to guess the others secret
might;
By human frailty to Judge alone
The human heart, oft hidden from
mems sight
&c. sometime should we stand within
the hush
Of that strange world whose hid
den thoughts are heard,
Should we fear no regret, no con-
scious blush,
To face some old forgotten bitter
word.
W A. D., in Nashville Banner.

or crush them when you will
Although your growth in strength
and power has it's dangers it would
be folly to check or dwarf it. You
cannot remain children forever You
must grow. You must also use all
reasonable means to promote your
strength and health and growth. But
while you are doing this you must
not overlook the development of the
soul. The reason why the quality and
number of gentlemen is low at the
present time is that we have so many
men with giant bodies and dwarfed
souls.

GIRL THOUGHTS.

I once dwelt in a garden, fragrant,
fair,
Where playful winds and happy birds
were found;
With clustered fruits and flowers
richly rare,
around.
With fairy toys I played the whole
day long.
In innocence 1 sang a glad, free song.
Then 10! there came one day the toll
man, Time,
To lead me forth forever, as he said,
Unto a brighter garden, fairer cline.
Still, wonder-eyed, | followed where
he led.
But fingered sadly DER my treasure
throng,
Then passed-and took my Happy
Heart along!
In the new garden grew tall Knowl-
edge trees.
Which taught of earth and heaven, of
life and love,
And eagerly l tasted fruit of these
While maiden clouds sped joyously
above.
And DER these wonder-things I pom
dered long;
How Truth and Good mean Right-all
else is wrong.
And now? I hear Times tottering
footsteps slow,
He comes to lead me forth to gardens
new.
