Bishop Leras need to say he knew the

It is the bubbling stream that

runs night and day by the Fann
house that is useful, rather than
the swollen flood or warring cata-

and we stand amazed at the
powerful greatness of God there,
as He pours it forth from the hol-
low of his hand. But one Niagara
is enough for the continent of the

At the Moment of Death.
When we come to die all the
world falls away from us—we have
to face the darkness alooe. Our
friends are of no use to us; even
our relatives stand by helpless
while we draw nearer and nearer
to the last breath, and the stream
of life flows on as if it had no
further concern for us, now that we
are departing from its current. In
at our windows come the noise of
the streets, the rattle of vehicles,
the cry of children; and we lie
quite still and crushed, seeing of
how little consequence wc are and
how little we are missed.
Oh, if in that hour of gloom,
, when the shadows are deepening
about our weary eyes, we have the
company of the argds who come
to show us the way to their celes-
tial home and the society of hap-
py souls whose salvation we have
helped to secure, we shall not be
utterly lonesome, as the earth
fades away from our vision and
we stand, trembling and awe-
struck, in the presence of the
Deity.
It is for us now to make friends
with those who may befriend us
when human sympathy can no
longer be noticed by dulled ear
and deadening brain, who, even
at the judgment, may give us
proofs of love and reasons for hope
of mercy.—Catholic Columbian.

usual to say: “If this favor be

PEACE NEGOTIATIONS. <
Spain’s reply to the American <
terms of peace was delivered to
the. President on Tuesday. No 1
official statement of its contents 1
has yet been made. It is surmised
that the reply is not final and that
other notes will probably be ex-
1 changed. It is said the Spanish
reply makes no reference to the
Cuban debt. Another report is
that while it concedes the fail of
Spanish sovereignty in Cuba, it in-
sists that the United States shall
govern the island so as to give
protection to the property of
Spaniards there. The American
demands regarding Porto Rico
and the Ladronc Islands are said
to have been agreed to without
modification.
PORTO RICO.
General Miles cabled the war
department on Tuesday that he
did not need reinforcements, and
advising that no more troops be
sent to Porto Rico. In conse-
quence, the embarkation of Ger..

Converted by a perverted
little girl.—The unsavory au-
thor, Alfred FouHEce; the fiery up-
tarfder of godless schools, observed
xlittle girl, scarcely it years old,
buying a 5 cent illustrated paper
3t a news-stand, and driven by cu-
riosity to see what the girl was
about to read, bought the same
paper. Entering a railroad car,
fe found there the same little girl
deeply absorbed in reading the pa-
per she had purchased, whereupon
be also cast his eyes over his pa-
per and found it filled with ob-
scenity and corruption. His eyes
were opened: he saw the mischief
he had done during fifteen long
years in advocating a r dless
school. He tore the paper, flung
it out of the window, and said to
himself: “This is the new cate-
chism which secularized instruction
sibstituted for the catechism of
Christianity." Through the press
he manfully avowed bis error and
forthwith began to repair it by
writing in favor of religious educa-
tion in the schools. Our news-
stand; are loaded with such
poison, and the boys and girls,
educated in public schools, buy
and read it without a blush,
and with great avidity. For
heaven’s sake, dear Catholic pa-
rents, be watchful. No pious
sentiment finds room in a heart
polluted by immorality.
