Better it were to SIT still by the sea,
Loving somebody and satisfied
Better 1t were to grow babes on the knee,
10 anchor yon down for all your days,
Than wander and wander in all these ways,
Land forgotten and love denied,
Better sit still where born, say,
We'd one sweet woman and love her we'll
Laugh with your neighbors, live in their way,
BE 1t ever so simple. The humber the home,
The nob!er, indeed, to bear your part
Love and be loved with all your heart,
Drink sweet waters and live in a spell.
Share Your delights and divide your tears
Love and be loved in the old east way,
Ere men knew madness and came to roam
From the west to the east and the whole world


wide


When they lived where their fathers lived and


died


Lived and SO loved for a thousand years.
Better it were for the world, l say
Better, indeed, for mans own good
That he should sit down where he was born,
Be it land of sands Or of oil and corn,
Valley of poppies or bleak northland,
White sea border or great black wood,
Or bleak white winter or bland sweet May,
Or city of smoke or plain of the sun,
Than wander the world as l haye done,
Breaking the heart into bits OF clay
And leaving it scattered on every hand.

The New York Graphic summing
up the result of the elections last
week says: THE Democrats have
all the real advantage in Tuesdays
elections. They have in each case
captured the stronghold. In Ohio
the choice of State officers was OF
no great direct moment. The bone
of contention was the Congressional
delegation. And the control of this
was important, not only in aiding to
secure Democratic majority to
organize the next House, but in
securing tho vote of Ohio for the
Democratic candidate for the Presi
dency, in cnse the election is thrown
into the House, This prize has
been obtained. The Republicans
will not only be in numerical mi-
nority, but the Democrats will
control clear majority of
the Confessional delegations, so
that in case of an election by
tho House the Democratic candi-
date is certain to be chosen. They
have now nineteen States sure, and
only require one, which they are

letter from James III. Dormer, of Buffalo,
to Thomas Bentley, Esq, of this village,
states that it is proposed to hold q pre-

the present month for the purpose of
effecting temporary organization and
arranging for series of excursions from
the different sections of the country and
for grand mass meeting to be held
some time during the season of summer
visiting at which permanent ore aniza-
tion can be perfected. We are glad to
see that steps are being taken looking to
the building of this monument. 1t is
something in which not only the people
of this state are interested but those of
the whole country, for Msrquette's repu-
tation is national one. There should
be no trouble i'm raising the necessary
funds to erect a monument to the man
who asan explorer and missionary made
a reputation excelled BY none. A small
contribution from all who should be in
terested in having a suitable monument
erected to the memory of this remarkable
man would accomplish the work. We
hope that tine proposed meeting. to be
held this month, will be largely attended
and arrangements made to push the pro-
iect forward to success. 1t is stated tha
one thousand dollars have already been
pledged i'm the state of New York. As
it is proposed to erect the monument at
Mackinac it is something in which the

Swithin was born of noble parents, and
at an early age became a monk at Win
chester. There, we are told, he devoted
himself to God so manfully and humbly,
that he became a pattern of every virtue.
King Egbert made him his chaplain, and
intrueted to him the education Of his son
Ethelwolf, the father of Alfred the Great.
When Ethelwolf became king st. Swithin
was made Bishop of Winchester and ad-
wiser to the king in all matters pertaining
to the Church. We trace his influence in
the laws about tithes, in the exemption of
the Church from civil taxes, in the institu-
tion of Peters pence, and in the provision
that every ten families should maintain
one poor person. As bishop he was noted
for o manly firmness and vigilance, and
for humility and modification of self. His
tender sympathy with the poor was even
more remarkable than his profuse aims
giving. He died A. S62, and was by
his own order, buried at the door of the
church, that all who entered might tram
pie on his grave. One hundred years
afterwards his relics were translated into
the restored cathedral; bis hand, the in !.
strument of 80 great charity, was found
incorrupt, and innumerable miracles of
healing were wrought at his shrine. In
1879 William of Wickham, Chancellor of
England, aud a devoted client of the Saint,
built the nave and front of the existing
Cathedral


AS an instance of the Saints care for
the poor, even in the smallest things, it is
related that, when he was building
bridge at Winchester, some of the work
men ipsulted q poor woman who was
passing by, and in mischief broke the eggs
she was carrying for sale. She complained
to St. Swithin of the insult and wrong;
and the Saint, touched with compassion,
took from her the basket in which the
broken eggs were, made the sign of the
cross over it, and gave it back to her with
the eggs whole as before.

Simon was born in the county of Kent
and left his home when he was but twelve
years of age to live as hermit in the
hollow trunk of tree, whence he was
known as Simon of the StocR. Here be
passed twenty years in penance and pray
er, and learnt from our Lady that he was
to join an Order not then known in Eng
land. He waited in patience till the White
Friars came, and then entered the Order
of our Lady of Mount Carmel. His great
holiness moved his brethren in the general
chapter held at Aylesford, near Rochester,
in 1915, to choose him prior-general of
the Order. In the many prosecutions
raised against the new religious, Simon
went with flial confidence to the Mother
of God. AS he knelt in prayer at the
White Friars convent at Cambridge on
July 16, 1851, she appeared before him,
assurance Of her protection. The devo-
tion to the blessed habit spread quickly
throughout the Christian world. Pope
after Pope enriched it with indulgences,
and miracles innumerable put their seal
upon it's efficacy. The first of them was
worked at Winchester on man dying in
despair, who at once asked for the Sacra-
ments when the scapular was laid upon
him by st. Simon Stock. The Saint died
at Bordeaux A. D. 1865.


In the year 1886 NJ. de Guge, cornet
in a cavalry regiment, was mortally
wounded at the engagement OF Tehln,
bullet having lodged near his heart. He
was then in a state of grievous sin, but
had time left him to make his confession,
and with his own hands wrote his last
testament. When this was done the sur
geon probed his wound, and the bullet
was found to have driven his scapular
into his heart. On its being withdrawn he
presently expired, making profound acts
of gratitude to the Blessed Virgin, who
had PROLONGED his life INTERNATIONALLY and
thus preserved him from eternal death.
