Except for those who have a spe-
cial call in life" Father Vaughan said,
1.-The married state is the best. In
marriage both man and woman lead
a higher life.
THE first duty of a bride and bride
| groom is to learn to make allowances
for all those differences which must
arise from the differences of sex, of
education, of taste, of home traditions.
They must not expect too much from
poor human nature. They must bear
one another's burdens, and self must
stand in the background.
ITO the husband | would say, be
sweet to your wife; never attempt tc
Let her talk on, while you get credit
for possessing your soul in peace.
Forget not that woman thirsts fol
sympathy, as flowers for sunshine
If you are never thinking of her, il
you do not send sweet notes-others
may come to offer her sympathy, an6
who is to blame?
Il always put the blame, if any
thing goes wrong in married life, on
the man, because he is the stronger
Let the wife always be neat and
smart when alone with her husband
and not merely when entertaining
company. He likes to see his wife
neatly dressed, and it is her business
to be pleasing in his eyes.
Never offer a man excuses, and
do not keep him waiting while you
put on your things" continued the
smiling Father amid chuckles OF
laughter.
ITO the wife / say, V nag, never
scold, never cry! These tricks OF
women often bring them what they
want, but they kill their husbands
love. No man wants to be leased
even by his wife.

to look like the flowers, even when
there is no sunshine"

LITTLE PATHS

The hotel was not the usual scene
of gayety, for the invalid was dying.
The boarders stayed quietly in their
rooms and the maids passed noise
lessly through the halls, sometimes
stopping at the door ofkthe sickroom
to peep through, so as to ascertain
the condition of the dying man.
The invalid's room was indeed the
scene of death. On the spotless bed

LAST AUDIENCE GIVEN BY LEO
XIII.

By the recent death of DIR. Rossoni,
who was called to the Vatican to join
in a consultation on the condition of
Leo XIII shortly before that Pontiff
breathed his last, one of the most
noteworthy incidents in his life has
come to light.
On the morning of July 8, 1903, the
sistant doctors, read in a loud voice

Court of st. Damascus, told of a turn
for the worse in the Pope's cOndi-
ton. WHY not call in Rossoni also?"
demanded the crowd, a demand that
was echoed in the Sacred College and
soon afterwards in the room Of the
Papal Secretary of State.
The demand had its origin in a
criticism which DR.. Baccelli, physician
to the Quirinal, had passed on Lap
poni's diagnosis, and soon Cardinal
Gotti, Cardinal Di Petra and Cardi-
nal Ferrata were proposing to Cardi-
nal Rampolla that there should be an
other consultation with Rossoni Ga

present. The Secretary of State
agreed. The Marquis Crispolti, an old
friend of DR.. Lapponi, was induced to
get him to decide on another CONSUL
tation and call in Rossoni. Then the
permission of the Pope was asked.
Vac - &I1x, 1,srIol 10 u,o,1l not an
pose them on the point. And so the
body of the physicians entered the
Papal bed chamber.
They found Leo XIII, then in his
93rd year, sitting up in bed, convers-
ing with all the grace and lucidity
of twenty years before, with all the
majesty of his best days. 1--WE would
not have troubled you, DR.. R~ossoni,'
said the Pope, because We are quite
content with our own doctors, but
they themselves desire to have you
join them, and as we, for our part,
know we'll your professional emf
hence, we assented to their proposal"
Then followed a conversation that
RossOni loved to mention up to the
end of his life as one of the exam
pies of the vitality Of the aged Pontitf
Leo XIII asked him about his studies
and who had been his professors. He
recalled eminent physicians whom he
had known in Rome as a young man,
i. e., over seventy years before, and
their various teachings in the field
OF science. He wanted to know how
many Of the great physicians of his
young days were then surviving.
And now" he said, I'VE are at your
disposal"
Rossoni found the Pope's condition
to be eve more grave than Lapponi
believed it to be, and he: was astound'
ed at the majestic bearing, the clear.

august patient. Leo died in a few
days, and DR.. Rossoni, during the fiji
teen years of life that yet remained
to him, considered the fact of having
