AN AUTUMN-LEAF.


At the time of harvest and of Gods
liberality take one leaf and learn the
lesson of economy. When our Lord
on two different occasions multiplied
the bread in order to feed the thou
sands that had gathered around Him
to listed to His words, He did it with
profusion. They all ate and were
filed" but he teaches a lesson by
ordering: Gather up the fragments
that remain, lest they be lost" They
gathered up therefore, and filled
twelve baskets at one of these
miracles and at the other seven with
the fragments of the loaves, which re-
NAMED over and above to them that
had eaten. Ruth, though a Moabite,
in the fields of Bethlehem, the house
of bread, CLEANED the ears of corn left
by the reapers and became an ances-
dence, but a wise economy of God
presides over the government of this
world. Over-abundance comes only in
provision of, or as compensation for
scarcity. According to Pharaoh's dream
and Josephs Interpretation seven
years of abundance were to precede
seven years of scarcity. The spirit of
economy marvelously harmonizes with
the spirit of the Gospel, the spirit of
sacrifice, of modification, detachment
and poverty. How can any one be
prodigal and sensual who glories in
being a disciple of a God who loved
poverty. God wills not that anything
be lost.
Economy brings expenditure in
harmony with social rank and the
needs of the family. 1t keeps the
mean between prodigality which
spends at random and without due
consideration and parsimony which
restricts expenditures so that due at
tention is neither given to necessity
nor social condition. Economy pre-
serves the home from many vices; e.
G., Incidence, display of furniture,
luxury in dress, sensuality in food,
jealousy and faultfinding, and causes
many virtues to flourish in the same;
e. g., humility, simplicity, love of
work, modification and charity: 1t is
a source of material prosperity and
heavenly blessing and fosters the per-
Torrance of good works. Where wise
economy presides, nothing is lacking;
means for almsgiving are plentiful.
Elsewhere nothing for good works is
to be found and even the necessaries
are often wanting. How many find
themselves without means to buy the
necessary food when out of employ
ment, when sickness or old age come
upon them, because they have not
practiced economy.
Frugal and joyful repasts sanctified
by prayer and seasoned by the law of
abstinence, economy in all things
sanctified by almsgiving will go far to
solve the social problem.

THE SACRIFICE.

Noel Sanford was determined to get
an education. He had gone as far as
the Tullyville school could carry him,
An omnivorous reader from the time
he could put syllables together, his ex-
cursion into the realms of history and
literature had taught him even at the
early age of fourteen that education
meant opportunity; that, other things
being equal, a man well-equiped men,
tally had far better chance of sue
cess than one who had not been so
trained.
His widowed mothers resources
were all too scant to supply their ordi-
nary necessities, yet Noels future,
spelled for him one one word, and
that was success.
How to attain this goal was his
present anxiety; for the nearest high
school or academy was fifteen miles
away in the city of Burton. He must
have money to pay for the trolley
ride there and back, to pay for books,
and for tuition as nonresident.
He was asking himself how this was
to be done as he drew near home
and opened the gate, when his dog
bounded rapturously toward him.
1t was impossible for Noel to pass
on without stopping to fondle and ca
ress this almost constant companion
of his daily life.
Gem! Gem! Nice old fellow! Help
your friend to solve his knotty prob
LEM" He patted and rubbed the little
fellow with affectionate touch.
AS if in answer to his appeal, his
mother, who stood in the doorway a
witness of this scene, spoke hesitating,
ly Noel, the Warmers from Burton
motored through here today. They
stopped to watch and admire Gem !;
just at that moment the little fellow
was opening the gate for himself-the
trick you and I are so proud of-and
when Mr. Warner saw him stand up,
put his paw on the latch, press it, and
then come in, he remarked to the gen.
tleman with him, that he would give

THE WISDOM OF ROME.

Deeply do feel, ever will I protest
for | can appeal to the ample testi-
mony of History to bear me out
that in questions of right and wrong,
there is nothing really strong in the
whole world, nothing decisive and
operative, but the voice of him to
whom have been committed the Keys
of the Kingdom and the oversight of
Christ's flock. The voice of Peter is
now. as it ever has been, a real au-
thority, infallible when it teaches, ever
taking the lead wisely and distinctly
in its own province; adding certainty
to what is probable, and persuasion to
what is certain. Before it speaks, the
most sanity may mistake; and after
If has spoken, the most gifted must
obey.
Peter. is no recluse, no distracted
student. no dreamer about the past,
no doter upon the dead-and-gone, no
nroiector of the visionary. Peter for
eighteen hundred years has lived in
the world; he has seen all fortunes,
he has encountered all adversaries, he
has shaped himself for all emergen-
cies. If there ever was power on
earth who has had an eye for the
times, who has confined himself to the
practical and has been happy in his
authorizations, whose words have been
deeds and whose commands prophe-
cies. such is he in the history of ages
who sits from generation to genera
tton in the Chair of the Apostles as
the Vicar of Christ and the Doctor OF
His Church,.
When was he ever unequal to the
occasion? When has he not risen with
the crisis? What dangers have ever
daunted him? What sophistry foiled
him? What uncertainties misled

cATHoLlcITY AT CAMBRIDGE.

The University at Cambridge has
been we'll known as the principal seat
of ultra Professionalism in England
since the Reformation. The earliest
members of the Puritan ministry OF
the early settlers of America held its
diplomas, or had at least studied in
it's colleges. When higher education
was begun at Boston, after the
settlement of the town, college
was founded to educate ministers. The
suburban village in which it was
placed was named Cambridge out of
affectionate remembrance of the
founders alma mater. The great Eng
lish University, with rare and brief
intervals of high church reaction, has
favored low church doctrines, and an
anti-Catholic propaganda has been bit
terly and consistently carried on.
But a change, quiet but radical,
has been gradually taking place. The
tide of heavenly influence is flowing
Romeward in England. It's persistent
waves are especially strong among the
noble sort of spirits, among the
studious and the devout And now a
feeling of pride and of JOY in the Cath
Ollie glores of Cambridge has become
perceptable. One of the UniVersitys
heroes was Blessed John Fisher,
Bishop of Rochester, who was be-
headed by Henry VIII, and whose
memory is Worshipped by an associa-
ton named for him. The following
account of their annual celebration
taken from America" tells of the
drift of minds, and of valid hopes of
notable conversions. The reader must
know that the two prelates are Cath
Ollie English Bishops.
From the Catholic standpoint, the
most important event at the Univer-
sity of Cambridge connected with the
end of the academic year is the Fisher
Society dinner Among the guests at
the dinner held recently, were the
Archbishop of Liverpool, the Bishop of
Northampton and the Austro-Hunga-
rian Ambassador to the Court OF st.
James. There were also present many
dignitaries of the University, the Mas
ter of Christ's and the Dean of St.
Johns, as we'll as the President of
Queens, himself a successor of the
Blessed Cardinal Fisher 1t is signi-
ficant that this ancient seat of learn
ing, to which belongs the dubious
honor of having produced a Cranmer,
should once again see Catholics and
their religion held in honor. On the
previous evening in the University
Chapel at LANDAU House the Bishop
of Northampton confirmed five recent
converts. This is the largest number
of converts to be confirmed at one
time in the chapel. This Catholic in
fiuence is growing steadily amongst
the educated classes of England. The
Anglican Church, on the other hand,
seems to be losing hold even on it's
ministers.

WHILE THE YEARS ARE GOING BY

There are lonely hearts to cherish
While the years are going by;
There are weary souls who perish,
While the years are going by;
If smile we can renew,
AS our journey we pursue,
Oh, the good that we may do,
While the years are going by.
There's no time for idle scorning,
While the wears are going by;
Let your face be like the morning,
While the years are going by;
Oh, the world is full of signs,
Full of sad and weeping eyes;
Help your fallen brothers rise,
While the years are going by.
All the loving links that bind us
While the years are going by;
One by one we leave behind us,
While the years are going by;
But the seeds of good we SOW,
Both in shade and shine will grow,
And will keep our hearts aglow,
While the years are going by.

WHERE'S MOTHER?

where's Mother" What a tribute
of love there is in these. The little
ones coming from school for their
lunch or dinner look anxiously about
for mother" and if she is not within
they ask the above question Seeing
her, they are happy, not seeing her,
they continue their search of the
house, until mother is seen. There
may not be anything special to tell
her, but the heart longs to see her
face, and seeing it, the little one is
happy. Even the husband and father
cannot get over it, for when he comes
home from his days work he also
asks, Where's mother?

MY ROSARY.

Sweet, blessed beads! l would not
part
With one of you for richest gem
That CLEANS in kingly diadem;
Ye know the history of my heart.
For have told you every grief
In all my days of twenty years,
And l have moistened you with
tears,
And in your decades found relief.
All! time has fed, and friends have
failed
And joys have died; but in my needs
Ye were my friends, my blessed
beads!
And We consoled me when l walled.
For many and many time, in grief,
My weary fingers wandered round
Thy circled chain, and always found
In some Hail Mary sweet relief.
How many story you might tell
OF inner life, to all unknown;
trusted you and you alone,
But ah! We keep my secrets we'll.
Ye are the only chain l wear
A sign that l am but a slave,
In life, in death, beyond the
grave,
OF Jesus and His Mother fair.

UNSPoKEN WORDS.

The kindly words that rise within the
heart
And thrill it with their sympathetic
tone,
But die ere spoken, fail to play their
part,
And claim a merit that is not their
own,
The kindly word unspoken is sin,
A sin that warps itself in purest
guise,
And tells the heart that, doubling
looks within,
That not in speech, but in thought
the virtue lies.
Unspoken words, like treasures in the
mine,
Are valueless until we give them
birth,
Like unbound gold their hidden beauty
shine
Which God has made to bless and
gild the earth,
How sad twould be to see a masters
hand
Strike glorious notes upon a voice
less lutte!
But o, what pain when, at Gods own
command,
A heartstring thrills with kindness,
but is mute!
Then hide it not, the music of the soul
Dear sympathy, expressed with
kindly voice,
But let it like a shining river roll
To deserts dry-to hearts that
would rejoice,
o! let the sympathy of kindly words
Sound for the poor, the friendless
and the weak;
And He will bless you; He who
struck these chords
Will strike another when in turn
you seek.

A HOLE FOR A HOLE.

Little Donald had a penny given
him to buy whatever he pleased. His
three years of dignity thus had new
impulse thrust upon him. He decided
to visit bake shop, and doughnut
was his choice. In a lusty voice he
called for one and Immediately
passed the penny to the shopkeeper
See here, my boy" said the man,
this penny has hole in it. / don't
know as l can take that penny"
But the doughnut has hole in
it," Donald responded, and he got the
doughnut.

GOD MADE ALL THINGS.

All things bright and beautiful,
All creatures great and small,
All things wise and wonderful,
The Lord God made them all.
Each little flower that opens,
Each little bird that sings,
He made their glowing colors
He made their tiny wings.
The rich man in his castle,
The poor man at his gate
God made them, high and loWly,
And order'd their estate.
The purple-headed mountains,
The river running by,
The sunset and the morning,
That brightens up the sky.
The cold wind in the winter,
The pleasant summer sun,
The ripe fruits in the garden,
He made them every one.
The tall trees in the greenwood;
The meadows where we play,
The rushes by the water,
We gather every day.
He gave us eyes to see them,
And lips that we might tell
How great is God Almighty,
Who has made all things we'll.

THE NICE WAY.

why don't you learn the nice way
of doing things?" asked Elsie's moth
er, as the little dishwasher appeared
at the door with a broken plate in
her hand-the third one she had
dropped in a week. I used to think
I'd never scold child for broken
dish, but I'm afraid you're very care
less. Elsie. There's a nice, careful
way to wash dishes-a nice way to dc
all your tasks. Try to think always
what the nice way u.s.
Elsie closed the door softly as she
went out. There's "a nice way to
close the door," she said, though j
never thought of that before.

notes a conclusion" regarding the

Among the many true and touch

tragedy of the Vatican, most have
commented on the fact that the late
Pope was by birth a peasant. Yet,
few or none, think, traced that

WAS PERPLEXED.

The circular door at the entrance
TO the new post office has caused con-
siderable merriment since II has been
In use. One instance Monday after
noon was interesting to the on look
ers. A young lady who appeared to
be about rs tried to make her en-
terance 10 the building. She walked
calmly up the steps: being confronted
with an obstacle, the likes OF which
she had never seen before. she hesi-
tated to study the matter over. Az
ter a minutes deliberation she tried
to find the combination to the affair.
Finally she discovered that the door
rotated to the left and here the fun
began (the tragedy for her). The
much perplexed young lady got the
door going but she did not arrive on
the inside as quickly as she wished
and continued to describe a circle
After a few minutes Of going around
and around she became very much
worried. A kind citizen noticing her
embarrassment. relieved the situation
by explaining the mysteries of the
door to her thus allowing her to enter
the building safely.
