Now, l think, that's very NICE Just
imagine that poor soul, waiting inside
the big barred gates, and the angel
probably her warder for many years,
outside.
''They don't exchange word. They
are only waiting, waiting. Far within
are myriads of holy souls, praying,
suffering, loving, hoping. There is a
noise as of million birds, futtering
their wings above the sea- But here
at the gate is silence, silence. She
dares not ask: When?-because the
angel does not know. Now and again
he looks at her and smiles and she is
praying softly to herself. Suddenly
there is a great light in the darkness
overhead and then there is a dawn
on the night of purgatory; for great
spirit is coming down swiftly, swiftly,
on wings of light, until he reaches the
prison-house. Then lie hands the
warden-angel letter from the Queen
of Heaven; and in moment, back
swing the gates and in plunges the
guardian angel and wraps up that ex-
pectant soul in, his strong wings
and up, up, through starry night and
sunny day they go, until they come
into the singing heavens; and up along
the great avenue of smiling faces,
until at last the angel lays down that
soul gently at the feet of Mary. And
all this was done by a quiet priest
in remote, whitewashed chapel, here
by the Atlantic, and there was no one
with him but the little boy who rang
the bell"

HOW TO FIND A JOB.

Every employer has had occasion to
note with what differing degrees of in
telligence different workmen will at
tack the same problem. Some on be-
ing given an outline of the work to be
done will go promptly ahead and COM
plete the task without further atten-
ton, while others not only require to
be given minute directions, but fail to
observe them when given.

THE GUSHING HABIT.

The gushing habit is another form
of hysterical frenzy. The subject is to
the point now because in too many
quarters there is a tendency, not to
reform or discipline, but to gush; to
swell with emotion over the fallen
angels who are sent to prison. The
kind of gush we are thinking of is the
windiness that is fond of declaiming
against the terrific boyle of punish
ment; that tells us in platform efforts
that children and criminals should not
be punished; it is the form of babble
which we associate with pompouS SER
monizing and hands laid on hearts
the emptiness and windiness that in
cite the public to pose before the mir
ror and admire itself prodigiOusly.
1t is not only an absurd and dangerous
habit, but a morbid one. Hysterical
gush and windiness serve no good
ends, except to butt thick heads
against hard facts. They help to de-
ceive the people for a time, to deceive
them as to their brains and nerves, to
prevent them from regarding increas-
ing idiocy and hysteria clear enough in
the light of symptoms of national dis
ease. The way most assuredly to fight
the malady is not to go up in the air"
on political or piratical airships, arm
ed by crazy mobs, for on such craft
it is impossible to steer clear of YER
tigo or provide rules of law and COM
mon sense.

SOME NOTES ON GETTING ON.

AS rule men prefer to lend hand
to pull down rather than to build UP,
if the building-up will help someone
else.
There is a good deal of carping and
canting criticism against all wealth.
This cry ought not to go out against
wealth honestly acquired.
1t is more or less the duty of men,
with others dependent upon them, to
improve their condition. The man
who makes two blades of grass to grow
where only one grew before is bene-
factor.
All run in the race. but only one
gains the first prize. Don't blame his
speed because you are slow of foot.
Were all property divided equally,
it would not remain equal in the pos
SCISSORS for a week. Snow may fall
level, but it will drift.
Necessity is the mother of invention
and inventions often produce wealth.
The inventions look simple enough af-
ter we see them. All could make an
egg stand after Columbus had shown
the way.
How many would work after hours
and burn the midnight oil if there were
no reward or dividends for labor?
Those who sleep and snore away
should not growl at the success of the
wide awake tOilers.
While the miser is despicable, the
rich man should not parade his wealth
to feed his vanity and to display his
pride.
I'VE need little here below, and will
not need that little long,"
A contented man is always we'll off.
The fellow who wants to get all the
land that joins his will never be con-
tented.
The laborer is worthy of his hire,
but he who will not work neither let
him eat.
The poor we have always with us.
Some people are poor owing to circum-
stances that they could not control.
These are the worthy poor. To help
these it is more blessed to give than
to receive.
We are to be rewarded even in spir-
itual things according to our works. AS
we SOW so shall we reap.

PEACEFUL BE.

Since thy Fathers arm sustains thee,
Peaceful be.
When a Christening hand restraints
thee,
1t is he.
Know his love in full completeness
If he wound thy spirit sore,
Trust him more.
Without murmur, accomplishing,
In his hand
Lay whatever things thou canst not
Understand.
Though the world thy folly spurneth,
From thy faith in pity turneth,
Peace thy Utmost soul shall fill,
Lying still.
Like an infant, if thou thinkest
Thou canst stand,
Childlike, proudly pushing back
The offered hand,
Courage soon is changed to fear,
Strength doth feebleness appear.
III HIS love II tnOu aDlde
He will guide.
Fearest sometimes that thy Father
Hath forgot?
When the clouds around thee gather,
Doubt him not.
Always hath the daylight broken,
Always hath he comfort spoken,
Better hath he been for years
Than thy fears.
To his own thy Father giveth
Daily strength,
To each troubled soul that liyeth
Peace at length.
Weakest lambs have largest share
Of this tender Shepherds care.
Ask him not, then, when or how
Only bow.

THE COY CORNER.

Ii every one were wise and sweet,
And every one were jolly;
Ii every heart with gladness beat,
And none were melancholy;
If none should grumble and complain
And nobody should labor
In evil work, but each were fair

Oh, what happy world 'twould be

WHEN THE GLAD RELEASE
COMES.

In one of the chapters of the late
Canon Sheehan's popular story, MY
New Curate,' the lamented author
turns the light invisible" on those
shadowy realms where, beyond these
voices, imprisoned souls await pa
tiently the expiration of their terms of
punishment. These brief passages may
remind some who are forgetful that
purgatory is not an imaginary state
of existence, but a painful, albeit mer-
eiful reality, and that many whom
they loved dearly in life are still Ian
gushing there:
'sHe makes memento for the most
abandoned soul and for the soul that is
next to be released. Whenever he has
not special intention, he always gives
his Mass to Our Lady for that soul.

WHAT AN ARMY IF ENTHUSlAS-
TIC!

The wall of the widowed and or
phaned pierces the heavens and moves
the heart of God. Can we remain deaf
to such a heartrending cry from our
neighbors, when, by an act of self-de-
NAL, so slight that it is almost trivial,
we can silence that cry and dry the
tears of the mourners? We as Catho-
lies have the power of reforming the
world. For Catholicism means civil
cation, Catholicism means culture,
Catholicism means complete Obedi-
ence to the commands of God. If the
Catholic Church, priests and people,
move, and move enthusiastically, in
this matter, the strongest force on
earth will be arrayed against the drink
evil-a force enrolled under the lead
ership of Him who has promised to
His followers certain victory. Ii this
fact were realized by every soul of the
00,000,000 in the Church, what fight
ing army we should have!
If enthusiasm should be shown any
where, it is among us. We are the
people of God pre-eminently; we are
the nation of God. See what the ma
tions in another sphere do when their
temporal liberty and temporal destiny
are attacked! Mark today what a
wave of fearless enthusiasm can effect
in defending national life! Look at
the example of magnificent heroism
shown by our armies today!
But we, the nation of God, the
Church of Christ, are fighting for the
liberty of souls, and how much more,
then, does enthusiasm befit US!

WHEN TO LEAVE.

A successful business man said that
one of the rules he made for himself
early in life was that in business
conversation he would never allow the
other man to be the first to indicate
that the conversation was over: he in
variably made it a practice to be the
first to rise the moment the business
was stated. He was, therefore, never
dismissed even by indication.
