And draw her into the play.
And if mother would listen to me

With buttons of royal velvet.

the real purpose was.

A PURE MIND AND SIMPLE INTEN.
TION.

1. With two wings man is lifted
up above earthly things; that is, with
simplicity and purity.
Simplicity must be in the intention,
purity in the affection.
Simplicity aims at God, purity
takes hold of Him and tastes Him.
No good action will hinder thee if
thou be free from inordinate affec-
tions.
If thou intend and seek nothing
but the will of God and the profit of
thy neighbor, thou shalt enjoy eter-
nal liberty. 3
If thy heart were right, then every
creature would be to thee mirror
of life and a book of holy doctrine.
There is no creature SO little and
contemplate as not to manifest the
goodness of God.
2. If thou vert good and pure with.
in, then wouldst thou discern all
things without impeachment and under
stand them rightly.
A pure heart penetrates heaven and
hell.
Ii there be joy in the world, GER
tainly the man whose heart is pure
enjoys it.
And if there be anywhere tribula-
tion and anguish, an evil conscience
feels the most of it. Ronl. ii, 81
AS iron put into the fire loses the
rust and becomes all glowing, SO a
man that turns himself wholly to God
puts off his sluggishness and is
changed into new man.
3. When a man begins to grow
lukewarm, he is afraid of a little labor
and willingly takes external comfort
But when man begins to perfectly
overcome himself and to walk man.
fully in the way of God, then he
makes less account of those things
which before he considered burden

covered up all right" responded the
young workman carelessly.
yes, it will be covered up. that is
true. But something it is bound to be
taken apart and the workman who
does it, If he knows his business, will
say. The man who did this job was

Ben laughed good-naturedly.

turned a puzzled glance upon him.

THE USES OF ADVERSELY.

Now, my co-mates and brothers In
exile,
Hath not old custom made this life
more sweet
Than that of painted pomp? Are not
these woods
More free from peril than the envious
court?
Here feel we but the penalty Of Adam,
The seasons difference-as the icy
fang
And churlish Gliding of the winters
wind
Which, when it bites and blows upon
my body
Even till l shrink with cold, l smile
and say,
This is no. flattery; these are coun.
sellers i
That feelingly persuade me what am.
Sweet are the uses of adversely,
Which, like the toad, ugly and venom
Gus,
Wears yet a precious jewel in his
head
And this our life, exempt from public
haunt,
Finds tongues in trees, books in the
running brooks,
Sermons in stones and good in every.
thing.

WHAT ARE YOU DolNG9

A single individual seems insight
icant in this crowded world. Yet it
is so ordered that even the humblest
can possess and exert an influence,
apparently wholly out of proportion
with his social position and his world
ly advantages.
A schoolmaster exerts, as a rule,
q greater influence over the future
Of his community than does the rich
est citizen or it's most honored inhabi-
tant. The schoolmaster who follows
the growth of his pupils out Of school,
may have a prodigious part in the
shaping of the dominant spirit Of his
neighborhoOd.
What the. schoolmaster may do is
an evidence of what other men may
du:-T Their, sympathy and community
interest with the humble and the
lowly, their upfightness of character
and their facilities for meeting their
fellowmen, give them great oppor-
tunities. "a,
A sober man may do considerable
for frugality and temperance in a
community of drunkards and spend
thrifts. A man who practices his re-
ligion may commend it highly to his
associates. Converts have been made
in this way.
A Catholic who sets out with the
determination of using every occasion
that he can, with propriety, to en-
tighten his associates as to what the
real teachings of Catholicity are, may,
in lifetime, do an inCalculablG sery-
ice i'll liberalizing the popular mind
forwards the Church. A Catholic who
elects to spend few dollars every
year for the purpose of putting read
able Catholic literature where 1t
will do the most good" may SOW the
seed for good results.
Ideas, facts, truth, are the weapons
of this influence, and these weapons
are at the command of every person
who chooses to use them. We are
not here merely to make money.
.- What is man
II the chief good and market Of his
time be but to feed and sleep?
A beast-no more"
Our lives are of very little impor-
lance if we fail to do some good.
And we can do good by giving our
neighbor some principle or some
conviction to live by. Truth is the
possession of every man who cares
to seek it, and good is done by every
man who seeks to spread the Truth
that he possesses.

And Thou Will hear

Mother most dear

Protect her life, i pray, - '~
Who gave the gift of life to me;
And may. she know -

Fearless and well content I say,
So let. her. heart, .-.

Feel fear depart -.
And trouble fade away.

For all the love that she has given;

Have you trials? You must face them
Without grumble, without groan;
Burdens? Then be sure to place them
On no shoulders but your own.
But if you have aught that's cheerful,
Give it forth to calm the fearful,
Give it forth to soothe the fearful,
Sing it, ring it, make it known!
Thus it is the noble-hearted
Live until their day is flown;
Thus they lift and thus they tighten
AS bugle-hlast is blown;
Thus it is they help and heighten,
Thus they lift and they tighten
Souls less steadfast than their own!

GOOD ADVICE.

If the sharp weed springing
Chokes our garden-bed,
Never heed its singing;
Plant a flower instead.
Where the rose is growing
Thistles cannot stray
livery flower that's blowing
Keeps a weed away!
If the way seems weary,
Cares about it throng,
Just to make it CHEEKY
Sing a snatch of song.
Trouble finds no dwelling
Where the lips are gay
Every song out-swelling
Keeps a care away!
If some wish ungranted
Brings perchance a frown,
Why not smile undaunted,
Smile il bravely down?
Shall a vain repining
Darker all our day?
Every smile outshining 1880.
Keeps a frown away!

COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS.

Have you sorrows? You must bear
them
Without murmur, without moan:
Think not you may shirk or share
them;
Keep them for yourself alone.
But if you have joys-oh, show them,
Broadcast to the winds go throw them,
Seed-like through the world go SOW
them,
And be glad when they are sown!
