way of thinkin' and maybe I'll see de
Loard!"
The boy felt his heart swell with
pity. He determined to save the poor
fellow. He made him sit down on
his poor bed and gave him the funda-
mentals of faith in the words of the
catechism. He taught him one or two
little aspirations and finally told him
he would bring him his pastor If he
desired it. The negro was all anxiety
to follow the boys instructions and
sent for the warden, who promised
that the priest should come. The lad
departed and went Immediately to his
pastor, who listened in establishment
A formal request soon came for his
presence in the jail
The priest went, accompanied by
the lad, who became the idol of the
negro's heart; he looked upon him
with the blind admiration of his race.
The priest found his sincerity was
not to be doubted. He instructed him
for baptism and taught him the faith.
The fellow who had been sulky, un-
tractable, dangerous, now become gen.
tie, resigned and penitent The lad
became his sponsor in baptism and
before the execution had the satisfac-
ton of seeing him make his first
Communion. Every day he spent an
hour with him, and on the eve of
the fatal day stayed as long as was
permitted.
At last the negro held the boys
hand close in both of his, and in a
choking voice said: "Good-by, young
massa, you have opened de dooah OBJ
Hebben to this poah niger. When
he is white angel befoah de Lord
he will watch ODER youah footsteps
and you will hab luck, and de Lords
blessing, where ebber you go. Let me
hold desc hans foah just minute, an
den nobody else shall touch dem.
Good-byi"
The black blood-stained hands held
the boys tightly. The lad could not
speak, but his face told all that the
poor penitent wanted of sympathy and
kindness and pity. The priest attend
ed the culprit to the last The boy
could not bear to behold the end, and
he left hurriedly. But they told him
when all was over that the negro went
to his doom with clasped hands, pray
ing audibly. He refused gently to
shake hands with any one, saying:
''My young massa must be the last.
His white hands kept me from de-
struction, an Use goin' to take his
shake-hands to the Loard!"
And SO he died, paying the awful
penalty of his crime On the gallows-
humble, reconciled to God and deeply
penitent.
The boy still lives; a man deeply
imbued with the spirit of faith, and
he tells his grandchildren what a
privilege it was to help one immortal
soul to happy death

JEWS RIGHT TO LONG LIFE.

Of two children born today under
precisely similar circumstances, one
of Jewish parents, and one of Chris
tian, the Jewish child has almost twice
as great an expectation of life as it's
little Christian neighbor.
This is the compensation the Jew
has wrested from the horrors of the
Ghetto. Our gentle ancestors forced
the Jew to live under conditions so
wretched that only the utmost ten
acity could keep hold on life at all;
and tenacity of life is hereditary.
Without doubt, the Mosaic code has
played some part in this. The ortho-
dox Jew has never eaten embalmed
beef, nor cold-storage chicken. He
gets his meat fresh, and under condi-
lions which reduce the risk of infec-
tions to the minimum. But the main
elements of Jewish longevity are
inherent, hereditary; the price of per-
secution, the, recompense for ages of
suffering.

WHY NOT?

If lark can fly to the cope of the
sky,
And spatter the morning with song,
If his mate can ply at the nest in the
rye,
Nor either do the other wrong;
If cock and hen sparrow can speed
like an arrow,
And cross several states in day,
And find on the morrow the strip of
woods narrow,
Where they nestled together in May;
If. butterflies, bees and such insects
as these
Can see in this life but carol.
And doves in the trees strive only to
And who ever saw doves in a quar-
rel?
If the worms of the earth, that in
darkness have birth,
Confine not to darkness their joy,
But to daylight come forth, and. in
semblance of mirth
Each minute of sunlight employ;
Why cannot Gods creatures, with
reasoning natures,
Whom the Maker hath blest from
the sky,
Pay heed to their teachers, their
hearts and their preachers,
And peacefully serve Him? o, why?

THE SMILES IN THE HEART.

When a smiles back there in the
twinkling eyes,
And you feel it's flash as you pass
along;
When smile way down in the warm
heart lies,
And it springs to your lips till they
wake in song;
Oh, then is the world all right, al
right
And the roses seem to grow
For you and your all the bright day
long
Wherever you happen to go.
When a smiles down there in the deer
of life,
And it warns and wreathes your
face
Oh, then there's balm for the daily
strife,
And the world is an all right place
For a smile helps so, with it's magic
touch,
It's lovely and golden ray,
IL u0lp uS dlOA1S wiz arc with " OA'
much
In the duties that dot the day.
When smile shows through all the
pain you feel,
All the sorrow and aching and
tears;
Oh, then there's balm for the worry
and care
And the patient trust of the years;
And you lift your head till the shad
ows flee
And the street and Office seem
A path and palace that lead you on
To the golden regions of dream.
It's the smile in the heart that counts
ah, yes!
And the smile that is back in the
eyes
With it's twinkle and glow, till around
you flow
The joy and the CLEAN of the skies;
For a smile helps so when the world
is down.
To lift it and help it swing
Along to the song of Faith still strong
With the spirit of endless spring.

NEW CONDITIONS IN FRANCE.

Since the separation of Church and
traordinary development of Catholic
social and religious associations. 1t
seems as if the blow that deprived the
Church in France of her endowments,
and reduced her to poverty, brought
her, in exchange, an increase of vi
tally and supernatural enlightenment.
The recent Congress of the Patron
ages" that took place in Paris strong
ly brought out this. 1t showed by an
exact statement of facts and figures
that the PIP "Patronages" for boys
that exist in the $50 parishes of Paris
are doing excellent work. The direct
.ors of these associations lay particu-
lar stress on the necessity of forming
enlightened Catholics, and they strong
ly support their conviction that relig-
ious practice, to be efficacious, must
be the outcome of convictions, not the
result of mere habit.
There is no doubt that in France as
elsewhere religious questions are now
widely discussed in all classes of So
ciety and that the Catholics, young
and old, must be able, if necessary, to
defend the Faith that they profess.
New conditions of society demand new
methods, and it is of Importance for
the Church to keep abreast with the
necessities of the times in order to
extend the reign of God more effica-
ciously.
The spirit of inquiry that is abroad
has suggested the foundation OF a
large number of "Cercles d'etudes,"
study clubs, that are attached to the
different "Patronages" or guilds. 1t
is felt that the wisest policy in deal
ing with this phase of mental inquisi-
tiveness is to guide it. Hence, the
zeal with which the directors of Cath
Ole associations endeavor to satisfy
the claims of intellectual curiosity,
rather than allow the youthful spirits
entrusted to their care to seek salts
faction among the enemies of the
Church A sound knowledge of relig-
ious subjects is absolutely necessary
at time when in all ranks of society
religious questions are more than ever
to the front.

TWO AS WELL AS ONE.

Maggie trotted across the hall and
climbed the dirty stairs leading to the
second floor. 1t was a cold day, and
the snow which had been tracked into
the halls remained unfrozen on the
bare boards. Maggie had wrapped her
Bingham apron around her shoulders
for greater warmth, but her smiling
face indicated that her mental state
was comfortable, with something to
spare.
When she knocked at Mrs. Curtis
door she did not wait for her summons
to be answered, but entered promptly.
Mrs. Curtis came forward slowly. A
tippet was wound around her head,
and a little gray shawl was pinned
tightly over her shoulders. Her face
had blue, pinched look. AS a matter
of fact, Mrs. Curtis rooms were very
little warmer than the hall outside.
Thought maybe you wouldn't have
much of fire, as long as you carried
back your last wash yesterday" said
Maggie. "Johnnie's got me some splen-
did chips and my fires fine Come on
downstairs and warm up"
Mrs. Curtis hesitated. She was a
Woodworking little woman with a
pride which some people who live in
brown stone houses could hardly
match. She knew what it was to be
cold and hungry, but she had never
| yet taken penny in charity.
Maggie understood the reason of
that hesitation. She put her hand on
her neighbours shoulder, and gave it a
friendly push.
ooh, come now, Mrs. Curtis she
exclaimed. "'Tisn't as though l want
ed to give you something that made
any difference to me. A fire can warm
two people as well as one, can't it?''
Mrs. Curtis frightened as she &C
knowledged the justice of that claim
and the two went downstairs to the
warm room, where the fire of chips
seemed to be doing its utmost to live
up to it's reputation. And as Mrs
Curtis loosened her tippet, and held
her hands towards the comfortable
warmth, Maggie had taken down the
teapot.
mo, I'm not going to put in any
fresh tea, Mrs. Curtis" she cried, as
the lady from the floor above raised
a protesting hand "But there's some
strength left yet in them grounds
You just wait till get some boiling
water on EN-, and see"
When the water, set on the stove in
the tin dipper, was steaming sufficient
ly to satisfy Maggie, and was added
to the little heap of grounds in the
bottom of the teapot, it actually die
change color, turning a pale yellow
by degrees, and emitting, as Maggie
turned it into cracked cup, frag
rance as much like tea as ever per
fumed the air of the tenement house

Mrs. Curtis hesitated, her hand held
