MODEL OF WoRkINeMEN.
St. Joseph, Foster-father of Christ, to be Henored in Catholic Churches Friday.

Tomorrow, March 18th, the Catholic churches will observe St. Joseph's day with special services. The leaf Prayr says:
 Since the fourteenth century devotion to St. Joseph has grown more and more. The last century witnessed in 1870 the establishment of a feast day to honor his patronage over the Uni- versal church.
 Saint Joseph has been held before the modern world as the model of workingmen, and of all fathers of families. Devotion to him will ob- tain for us the grace to love Jesus and Mary, to unite an interior life of piety with exterior work and to die, as he did, holy death.
