AFTER THE RAvAGEs OF WAR
The Work of the Nun.

The Rev. Mother Jeanne de la
Croix, Superioress of the st. Louis
Hospital of Adrianople, tells us in
vivid language of the difficulties of
her ministrations in the large city of
Adrianople Two or three times a
week two Sisters are sent to visit at
home the poor families of the sur
rounding districts, who have been de-
pending upon them during the last
thirty years. The sight of those
houses, half torn by the shells that
were fired during the siege, is heart
rending. In most of them lie sick
people. Here are some infirm old
men, bereft of their sons, who died
on the battlefield and who used to
maintain them; there are widows,
mothers of three, six or eight chill
dren, whose husbands were killed
during the siege; then the victims of
war, crippled, absolutely incapable of
earning their living. Everywhere
cries and sorrows. Everywhere the
same appeal comes from their lips:
eve have no bread, no shelter, no
fire." In many houses the little ones
are wrapped in sordid rags, and it is
not an uncommon sight to see the
people use as fuel old rags found in
the offals of the streets. Many little
ones die because their mothers, hav-
| ing no food, cannot nurse them Dur
ing the last two years $500 patients
were visited and taken care of at
home; LOO we're treated in the dis

feels so humbled when, after few
days, mother comes to thank the
Father for the cure of her suffering

a special prayer for her little baby,

blue baby, one whose heart action

color was normal, and the delighted
mother said she had slept the past
two nights, the first good rest in a
month. True, cynics may sheer and
say that it would have happened with
out the blessing. At any rate it came
to pass after the blessing to the great
joy of the mother and as a reward
for her faith, which was the faith OF
the Breton peasants wife, for which
the devout Pasteur prayed without
ceasing.

and friend of Newman who wrote "The
Christian Year." so much priced by
on-Catholics, prays thus in sweet sim
plicity:-
ave Maria! thou whose name
All but adoring love can claim,
Yet may we reach thy shrine!
For, He thy son and Saviour, VOWS
To crown all lowly, lofty brows
With love and JOY like thine"
There is strikingly beautiful poem
by Keble: Mother out of Sight"
which was originally written for his
''Lyra Innocentium" 1874, but it was
withheld from publication until after
his death, against his wishes, at the
solicitation of personal friends. The
poem contains fourteen verses. These
two will serve as a sample of the
others:
Mother of God, oh, not in vain,
We learned of old thy holy strain;
Fain in thy shadow would we rest,
And kneel with thee and call thee
Blest;
With Thee would magnify the Lord"
And if thou art not here adored,
Yet, seek we, day by day, the love and
fear
Which bring thee with all saints near
and more near.
What glory thou above hast won,
By special grace of thy dear Son,
We see not yet, nor dare espy
Thy crowned Form with open eye;
Rather, beside the manger meek
Thee bending with yelled brow we
seek;
Or where the angel in the thrice great
Hailed thee-and Jesus to Thy bosom
came"
From no other than Kipling, the
! lingo poet Of England, are the ap-
pended lines. One may reasonably
wonder how the rhymster who penned
that-at least ungracious- on
womankind: "The Vampire" could
also write even in chastened mood:
ooh, Mary pierced with sorrow,
Remember, reach and save,
The soul that goes tomorrow
Before the God that gave!
AS each was born of woman,
For each in utter need,
True comrade and brave foeman

Keep us upright through the morrow.

POETIC TRIBUTES TO THE
BLESSED VIRGIN.

Robert Southey, the biographer of
Wesley, in his beautiful tale of Par.
aguay" from "Yeruti and Norma" has
Monnema tell the children of her tribe
of the coming of the ambassadors of
the Great Spirit from over the world
of waters to the Red-man:-
They served a maid more beautiful
than tongue
Could tell or heart conceive. Of human
race,
All heavenly as that Virgin was, she
sprung:
But, for her beauty and celestial grace,
Being one in whose pure elements no
trace
Had e'er inhered of sin, or mortal
stain,
The highest heaven was now her
dwelling place;
There as Queen divine she held her
reign,
And there in endless joy forever would
remain.
Her feet upon the crescent moon were
set;
And moving in their order round her
head,
The stars compose her sparkling
coronet.
There at her breast the Virgin Mother
fed
A Babe Divine, who was to judge the
dead
Such power the Spirit gave this awful
child.
Severe He was, and in His anger
dread;
Yet always at His Mothers will grew
mild,
So well did He obey that Maiden I'M
defiled.
Thomas Osborne Davis, the Irish
patriot, a Protestant of Professionals
whose national songs are sung in
every Irish gathering is the author Of
this pilgrim hymn
Fading, still fading, the last beam is
shining;
Ave, Maria, day is declining;
Safety and innocence fly with the
light,
Temptation and danger walk forth
with the night;
From the fall of the shade till the
matin shall chime,
Shield us from danger and save us
from crime:
Ave, Maria; audi nos.
Ave, Maria, oh, hear when we call,
Mother of Him Who is Savior to all;
Feeble and failing, we trust in thy
might,
be our light;
Let us sleep on thy breast, while the
night-taper burns;
And wake in thine arms, when morn
ing returns:
Ave, Maria; audi nos.

Robert Browning-whog rasped the
doctrine of the Incarnation as no other
non-Catholic poet has, or shall per

There is vision in the heart of each

To wrong and pain, and knowledge oil
it's cure;
And these embodied in a Woman's

That best transmits them, pure as frs

marshy, But the sheep can hold its
place on high'priced land as meat
producer alone. Compared with larger
animals it has some important advan-
tages. First, the lambs mature very
rapidly, being marketable at four
months Of age or later, according to
breeding aud feeding. This is an
economy because a larger proportion
Of the total feed goes into increase of
weight than in slower growing animals
Second, the sheep consumes great
er variety Of plants than do other ami
mails. Many Of such plants are deter,
mental to pastures and would otherwise
require hand labor to hold them in
check. Third, grain waste in harvest
ing can be entirely recovered by
sheep. These facts prompt some
farmers to claim that the summer food
