The end dOfPapaey DPaVVIne near.-.IIs
Thousand Years Lived out and its
EFessIVe. 7Et-1


Fsos lte NesO York Herald. li-
In the recent address to the Consistory,
the Pope deplores the afflictions of the
Church in Italy, and "the grave insults
offered to the Holy See" by the Italian
government. The worst of the afflic-
tions Is that the religious houses are
suppressed, and that the innumerable
thousands of lazy Migrants who have
demoraliZed the nation and filled the
converts must either change their lives
or leave the country; and the most mo-
table OF the insults is that the Italian
government treats Ecclesiastical cen-
sures" in this matter with contempt,
mot paying the least regard to our
most just complaints and those of our
venerable brethren, the bishops of
italy," so the Pope raises his voice for
the "Church, its holy laws and the
rights Of the Chair of st. Peter" and
by "his apostolic authority abrogates
and proclaims null and void, and with
out force or effect" all the recent de-
crees of the Italian government on the
monasteries, civil marriage, &c. Such
is the purport of the Pope1s alIocution,


1t is great while since the Emperor
Of Germany stood for three days bare

ohences, and 1t is doubtful whether


apostolic authority" has any longer
much force in the world. Although
| the Pope does not seem to see it, that
state of affairs which once gave his ut
terances their importance, has passed
away. 1t cannot be profitable to dis
cuss what has brought about the change


but the change has taken place. and it
would better become the Pope's dignity
TO recognize his real relation to his sur
roundtngs than to merely be putting


forth pitiful parodieS of utterances that
made the world tremble. The PapRcy
has lived out its time. 1t has had the
full thousand years of the life of a ma
noni a government or a system, and it
must die. Fortunately the world is
st1lliRnd always was progressive, and
while 1t continues to be SO, no system of
either religion or government can be
founded in any age that will continue
vital when the world has grown another
Thousand years older and wiser. The
Papacy grew in the necessities of the
world, and as it refuses to grow with
the world and sets itself up stubbOrnly
against that growth, 1t must be left
behind.


"a! The latest declaration of the Pope can
only furnish the enemies of the Church
with new arguments against 1t. 1t OK
presses anew the irreconeilRbIe opposi-
tion of Rome to the revival of national
ity in Italy-to what the whole enlight-
,ened world perceiYes with pleasure.
Can there be in the world any more
atrocious Inconsistency than that the
only declaration against the organiZa-
ton for the Italian people OF justice and
liberty, should como from tho pretend
ed representative on Earth of Him who
declared freedom for the slave and
equality to all men? No, the Papacy is
ofanother age; the Pope must be In a
false position, do what he will. His


time is come, and he must render unto
Cesar that which belongeth to Cesar.


A Question and Answer--.A Young
4tpN Married woman RGprOVGd.


In Noah's Times and Messenger for
this week we find the following ques-
ton and answer:


QUEsToN.-'fI I am a married woman,
of about twenty-e eight years of age, and
| would very much like to learn to play
the piano. How shall I obtain teaci-
er q think a gentleman teacher is by
far the best, As cannot afford to pay
much for learning, can you inform me
how to obtain onef L can have the use
of a friends piano to practice on"


ANSWER-lt is our private opinion
that your husband would slightly OBJ
ject to male instructor, especially if
he were young as well as good looking


y
inclined to consider any other an eligi-
bic person. If you possessed a sufficient
share of discretion, madam, you would
not solicit your husband to permit YOU
to employ any but female teacher,
nor would you even insinuate that Won
are weak enough to indulge in what is,
under the circumstances, such an
equivocal preference. To be frank with
you, since you seem to consider our adj
vice of some Interest, 1t is our convic-
ton that a young married woman
whose husband has no money to spare
for supertluous luxutles, always acts
wise part when she deVotes her time
and her energies to rendering his con-
dition in life comfortable, and to prac-
ticing that economy in all things with
out which such condition OF comfort
never can be secured. After marriage,
the plano Is an accomplishment of no
Importance to a woman whose sphere
of life is not one of moneyed ease and
Incidence. Such wife has graver
things to occupy her serious attention,
If sheloVes herhusband sincerely, she
will take far more delight in making
and mending his apparel-she will take
far more delight in seeing him go out,
in fact, with a neat and tidy appearance
owing to her rindustry-than In throw
ing away her time (and perhaps her
morals) with gentleman who proposes
to teach her the use of a piano-if not
considerably more than that before she
has done with him. If your husband
does not see it in this light, why-he
deserves what Is in store for both of
you, domestic unhappiness,
