Fifty Years' Progress

in Piano making has given us a Perfect Musical Instrument— a Piano capable of_the finest gradations of tone — capable of producing the passion and thunder of war, or the soft, caressing tones of love and reverie.

^ PIANO

Does what the player wills— easily, precisely, harmoniously." ^Undoubted evidence of this is found in the hearty endorsement of artists like Madame Albani, Ellen Beach Yaw, Madame Van De Veer Green, R. Watkin- Mills, Plunkett Greene, Ben Davies, Rudolph "Von Scarpa, and many others. The Piano is one that finds universal favor among the convents and colleges of the Dominion— it is in use in all the leading educational institutions.

CLERGY LIST.

APPROVED BY THE

ARCHBISHOPS AND BISHOPS OF ONTARIO

"The Catholic Calendar is, in fact, but the Almanac of the ' New heavens and the new earth,' which the Lord of Mercy hath created for Himself and us. It faithfully represents to the Christian soul the annual course of the 'Sun of Righteousness' passing through His cycle of love, to warm and to cheer, to nourish and give growth to ' the plant- ing of His right hand ' in the vineyard of His Church." — WisemaK.

PUBLISHED BY

THE SISTERS ADORERS OF THE PRECIOUS BLOOD. Toronto, 1898.

Jntrobuction.

Not altogether withoutf some" little (pardonable, we hope) self-gratulation The Catholic'Almanac for this, the/ou'th year of publication, is presented to the reader

The evidences of improvement in its pages will not, we are persuaded, be permit- ted to go unappreciated.

The new feature, presented in this issue of the Almanac, of an illustrated sketch of the work done by our different religious orders in Ontario in the cause of education, will be continued in future numbers.

Thanking friends and patrons for their kind help in the past, it only remains to be said in reference to the future that our desire is to improve and enlarge The Almanac each year, and that to this our earnest efforts shall be directed.

Toronto, October 2nd, 1897.

Moit)6 of lEncouraocinent.

The C.-vtholic Almanac is a publication of varied interest and of valuable in- formation, especially as regards matters, both civil and ecclesiastical, pertaining to our own province. ... It ought to have a place in all Catholic homes.

t John Walsh, Archbishop of Toronto.

I believe The Catholic Almanac will effect a great good.

t T- Thomas Duhamel, Archbishop of Ottawa.

Hi's Eminence Cardinal Gibbons " hopes that under the auspices of the Most Rev. Archbishop your commendable work will meet with every success."

The Catholic Almanac is deserving of commendation. You have my entire approbation. ... It contains information that is very useful in reference to ecclesiastical and civil matters in this province. I recommend it to every Catholic in this diocese.

t R. A. O'Connor, Bishop of Peterborough.

I hope the good work you have in hand will meet with success.

t Denis O'Connor, Bishop of London,

I praise your undertaking. ... I bless you and your work, and wish it will be a perfect success.

tN. Z. LoRRAiN, V.Ap., Pembroke.

I shall be glad to give the project the benefit of my approval, and hope it shall be successful.

Z\)c (^alen^al^

We propose to give a brief explanation of those terms which are attached in our Calendar to the various feasts and other days. From the earliest ages of the Church it was the custom of the clergy and laity to meet together to recite the psalms. As time went on these psalms were divided and arranged for every day ; lessons from the Holy Scriptures and short lives of Saints were added, as also versicles and hymns. These at length assumed their present form as contained in the book called the " Breviary." It is also called " Office," because the proper and principal duty or office of the Sacred Ministers is to sacrifice themselves by prayers to God for His glory and the salvation of souls. For this reason also the Holy Breviary and the celebration of the Blessed Eucharist are intimately associated together. The feasts of the former determine the Mass to be celebrated, whilst the collect and the gospel are the same in both the Office and the Mass of any particular feast.

The Latins have called their Office, Psaltery, from the Psalms forming the principal portion of the Office. Another term is the " Hours," because, according to Canon Law, the monks recite them at fixed hours. It was divided into seven hours, corresponding, no doubt, with the words of the Psalm :— " Seven times a day I have given praise to Thee for the judgments of Thy justice." (Ps. cxviii.: 164.) These hours are divided into(i) The night hours, or Matins and Lauds, which, although quite long compared with the others, count as one hour. (2) The Day or " Little " Hours, as they are commonly called. These are Prime, Tierce, Sext, and None, which are so called because they used to be said at the first, third, sixth, and ninth hours of the day. (3) The evening hours are Vespers and Compline ; the former signifying even- ing, and the latter completion, because it closes the Office of the day.

At the beginning and end of each psalm and canticle is a verse called the antiphon, the recitation of which determines the rank of the feast. Feasts are either double or anti-double according as these antiphons are repeated in full both before and after the psalm, or as only a portion is recited before the psalm. In all cases the full antiphon is recited after the psalm. The double feasts are divided into (i) doubles of the first class, (2) doubles of the second class, (3) ordinary doubles which are either major or minor doubles. In the general Calendar of the Church there are twenty-one feasts of the first class ; twenty-eight of the second class and twenty-four major doubles.

Besides the feasts, both double and semi-double, there are the Offices of those days upon which no feast is, or can be celebrated. There are days upon which no feast occurs. Then there are some days upon which no feast is allowed to be celebrated, as the days of holy week. Such Offices bear the following title according to the day of the week :— Dominica, the Lord's day, Sunday ; Feria secunda, second ferial, Monday ; Feria tenia, third ferial, Tuesday ; Feria quarta, fourth ferial, Wednesday ; Feria quinta, fifth ferial, Thursday ; Feria sexta, sixth ferial, Friday ; Sabattum, Sabbath, Saturday.

S. riatthias. Apostle, Feb. 24th. After Our Blessed Lord's Ascension His disciples met to- gether, with Mary. His mother, and the eleven Apostles, in an upper room at Jerusalem, awaiting the coming of the Holy Ghost. But first a successor to the traitor Judas must be chosen. Two were named of equal merit. Joseph called Barsabas and jMatthias. After praying to God, they cast lots and the lot lell upon ^L^tthias. Our ignorance of S. Matthias' life serves to fix the attention upon these two points, — the occasion of his call, and the fact of his perseverance.

5. Patrick, March I7th. Ireland is the nursery whence S. Patrick sent forth his missionaries and teachers. Glastonbury and Lindisfarne, Ripon and Malmesbury, bear testimony to the labors of Irish Priests and Bishops for the conversion of England, lona is to this da> the most venerated spot in Scotland. Coluniban, Fiacre, Gall and many others evangelized the ' rough places' of France and Switzerland. America and Australia, in modern times, owe their Christianity to the faith and zeal of the sons and daughters of S. Patrick.

S. Hark, Evangelist, .\pril 25th. S. Mark wrote his gospel under the eye of S. Peter. He records the gestures and very words of Our Lord. He alone notes that in the temptation Jesus was ' with the beasts ' ; that He slept in the boat ' on a pillow ' ; that He ' embraced the little children.' He preserves His words: 'Peace, be still!' when He quells the storm, the ' Ephphatha ' and ' Talithacumi ' by which the dumb were made to speak and the dead to rise. So, too, the ' looking around with anger,' the ' sighing deeply' are recorded by the interpreter of the penitent Apostle who was converted by his Savior's look.

5S. Philip and James, Apostles, May 1st. The earliest of Church historians has handed down many traditions of .S. James' sanctity. He was always a virgin, says Hegesippus, and con- secrated to God. He drank no wine, wore no sandals on his feet, and but a single garment on his body. He prostrated himself so much in prayer that the skin of his knees was hardened like a ca-nel's hoof. The Jews, it is said, used out of respect to touch the hem of his garment. He was a living proof of his own words : " The wisdom that is from above first indeed is chaste, then able, modest, full of mercy and good fruits. '

S. Barnabas, Apostle, June 11th. It is remarVable how large a place is occupied in the apostolic history by the collection and distribution of alms. To send alms to Jeru.salem was for the first converts to testify to the unity of their faith as well as the fervor of their charity. S. Barnabas began by laying his riches at the feet of the Apostles. When Agabus prophesied a great fr.mine, Barnabas, no longer rich, was chosen by the faithful at Antioch as most fit to bear, with S. Paul, their generous ofTerings to the Church of Jerusalem.

S. Mary HaKdi'len, July 22nd. When the faithful were scattered by persecution, the family of Bethany were b^irne in a boat without sails or oars to the coast of Krance and took refuge in Provence. The cave in which S. Mary lived for thirty years is still seen ; and the chapel on the mountain-top in which she was caught up daily, like S. Paul, to "visions and revelations of the Lord." When her end drew near, she was borne to a spot still marked by a " sacred pillar," where the holy Bishop Maximin awaited her ; and when .she had received her Lord she peacefully fell asleep in death.

of Nazareth ? " replied the youih. " Come and see," said Philip. " Behold an Israelite indeed, in >^

whom there is no guile," Our Lord said when he saw him coming. In wonderment Nathaniel >:^

exclaimed, " Whence knowe^t thou me ? " Our Lord answered, "Before that Philip called thee, i^ when thou wast under the fig-tree, I saw thee." The grace offaith filled the humble-minded yoiuh and he cried, " Thou art the Son of God, the King of Israel."

S. Hatthew, .•Xjiostl-;, September 21st. Obey all inspirations of Our Lord as promptly as S. Matthew, who, at a single word, " laid down." says S. Bridget, " the heavy burden of the world to put on the light and sweet yoke of Christ." The words of the Divine Preacher were so precious to him that from that moment earthly riches were nought to him. It was his joy that Our Lord had deigned to call so mean a person and so great a»sinner to His grace.

S. Luke, the Evangelist, Oct. 18. The emblem of S. Luke in the vision of Ezekiel is the ox, the animal of sacrifice. The Fathers of the Church saw a special fitness in this, for in the fourfold picture of the life of Christ, drawn by the Evangelists, it is the priesthood of Jesus and the shedding of His blood for sinners that characterize this gospel. The opening scene is the sacrifice ofthe priest, Zachary, now about to make way for the sacrifice of the New Law. S. Luke alone mentions the circumcision, the first blood-shedding. He alone describes the sweat of blood in the agony in the garden.

5. Andrew, .\postle, Nov. 30th. When .S. Andrew saw the gibbet on which he was to die, he exclaimed, " O good cross made beautiful by the limbs of Christ, so long desired, now so happily found ! Receive me into thy arms, and present me to my Master, that He who redeemed me through thee may now accept me from thee." Two whole days the martyr remained hanging on this cross alive, preaching with outstretched arms from this chair of truth to all who came near, and entreating them not to hinder his passion.

MOST REV. MGR. R. MERRY DEL VAL,

A/'Ostolic Dclcgati-.

St Rev, flgr. R. Merry del Val

Aposiolic Delegate.

THE past year, 1897, memorable as it will ever be to many on account of the Diamond Jubilee of our Gra- cious Queen, in the celebration of which none were more prominent or more earnest than her Catholic Canadian subjects, will also be a red letter year in the annals of the history of the Church in Canada by reason of our ruler in matters spiritual, the Holy Father, having sent us from his own inner household, a delegate charged with a mission of the highest importance to all Catholics, and the greatest interest to all Canadians — a mission of peace to Canada. Apparently in response to a petition to the Holy See, signed by some forty-five Catholic Ministers, Senators and Members of Parliament, belonging to the Liberal Party, but containing no direct reference to the Manitoba School question, the Sovereign Pontiff sent Mgr. Raffaele Merry del Val as his personal representa- tive, and clothed by that fact with all requisite power, irrespective of any title or other designation, on a mission of peace to ihe Church in Canada, but chiefly to aid in settling that same question, which had been a trouble to Canada for seven years, and embittered her public life as hardly anything else had done.

For a quasi diplomatic mission to a British country, no more fitting represen- tative could have been chosen. His mother's ancestors came from the county of Waterford, Ireland, and she herself was the daughter of Count Torre Diaz, a Spanish senator, who married when in England, and resided there for a number of years. His father. His Excellency Don Merry del Val, who is now the Spanish Ambassador at the Vatican, was formerly secretary of the Spanish Embassy in England, and was stationed there in 1862, the year of the future Delegate's birth. To the fact that his early educa- tion was in England, in whose schools he spent some nine years, is due the com- mand of beautiful English and the fault- less pronunciation which surprised and

charmed the thousands who heard the Delegate in Canada. His later studies were in Belgium and Rome, so that his mastery of the Spanish, English, French, Italian and Latin languages is in a measure accounted for. In 1887 he was a member of the Vatican Embassy to the Golden Jubilee of Queen Victoria; in 1888, one of the representatives of the Holy See at the funeral of the Emperor Frederick at Berlin. He is secretary of the commission for the reunion of the dissentient churches — the work perhaps the nearest to the heart of the Venerable Pontiff. His birth and training fitted him for high honors, and the Holy Father took him as one of his own household. It helps to realize what that means when it is remembered that Mr. Russell, in his cablegram announc- ing the appointment, quoted the Pope as saying that, in detaching one so closely attached to his own person on the mis- sion, he gave exceptional assurance of special personal interest in the religious welfare of his people in Canada.

Mgr. R. Merry del Val arrived in Canada in March. His visit was at once made the occasion for an unequalled display of the fervent loyalty of Canadian Catholics to the Holy See. To this was added, as his stay lengthened, and his aims and methods were more clearly seen, the good wishes of the whole Canadian people for a successful issue of his mission. Immense public receptions in Montreal, Quebec and Ottawa filled the public attention during the first weeks of his stay. Visits of state were paid, and meetings of the Episcopacy held, and a conference of Archbishops. The principal Catholic institutions were visited, innumerable addresses presented, and honorary degrees conferred. His reception in Toronto was a revelation of Catholic feeling away from Catholic centres. He sang High Mass and Vespers there, was entertained with a large company at luncheon by the Premier at the Parliament buildings ; visited the schools and convents, and gave

nhovt Vcw nbi\v. 1R. fWscnv Ccl Dal

a public reception. A meeting ot the Ontario Episcopacy was held under his presidency.

The Prairie Province was next visited ; his welcome was nowhere more hearty. Everywhere the dominant notes were the same, in the unanimity and cordiality of the welcome given him by the Catholic people, and the real appreciation shown by our Protestant fellow-citizens of his mission and his worth.

His personality won half the battle. Straight, tall and young, with dark eyes and broad forehead, his face and bearing showed at once strength of mind, deter- mination, and dignified reserve ; yet, no less conspicuous was the fact that he was blessed with a pleasant nature, and en- dowed with a tenderness and spirituality befitting a man chosen by Leo XIII. for an intimate.

In the midst of all the public display, he went immediately to the business of his mission, inviting information every- where, and being accessible to everyone. What he did, and what he has accom- plished, he did not choose to say. The agent of the Canadian Liberals at Rome announced, coincident with the sending of the Delegate, that Rome had com- manded the agitation to be suspended pending his visit. Whether or not that was so, certainly there was a temporary suspension. He himself neither paraded nor disguised his mission, but ever laid stress on his desire for peace, and for the peace, not of force, but of good will. At Montreal, he said at a banquet given in his honor, that his mission was not to interfere with anv of the liberties that

exist in this country, nor to enter into matters which did not lie in his province, but directly and indirectly to conciliate. And in this spirit he was welcomed and appreciated by the whole Canadian people. His incessant work Canadian Catholics saw, as also the immediate result of the increased veneration and devotion for the Holy See and Mother Church. Doubt- less, the more particular results of his mission shall soon be made known to us. He left for Rome in July, meeting Mr. Laurier in England. Before his departure, he gave to all Catholics an official state- ment, that the matter is now in the hands of the Supreme Pontiff, who is perfectly informed of the facts, and with whom it remains to finally decide the obligations of Catholics by knowledge of the religious side of the question, and whose judgment must not be anticipated. He commanded that in the meantime all agitation be stopped and discussions suspended, and he warned the faithful, on their part, against doing anything that might be construed as belittling the authority of the Canadian Episcopate.

There the matter rests. The result is in the hands of the holiest and wisest, and cannot be wrong. That we may be hopeful of good things was, however, told by himself in his last words before leaving us. On his way back he was entertained at luncheon at Niagara Falls by Sir Frank Smith, and in his speech of farewell, he expressed his belief that his mission of peace had not fallen short of success. May God make that belief an assurance for us.

Glittering shafts through the odorous blossoms of May, While in a pxan of joy to the wide gate of Heaven ascend- ing, Sing the birds to their beauteous Queen at her innocent play- Softly around her the fragrant May blossoms are drifting,

Eager to lay themselves under her delicate feet ; High from the greensward the lilies their fair blooms are lifting, Silently standing the I.ily of Israel to greet.

Thou art fair, O, our Queen ; thou art fair, and no spot is there in thee.

Thou art bright as the day star, and whiter than lilies are

white. Thus s.-)ith the Lord, who left Heaven and glory to win

thee, And cleft with thy brightness the blackness and gloom of

our nigbt.

The freshness of spring, and the song of the summer's awaking ; The glory of noon, and the pearls of the newly-born day ; The myriads of stars in the heavens their vast circles making, .\'e thine by the word of the Lord, O, thou Queen of the fragrance of May.

EVOURED BY WOLVES!

A CANADIAN CHRISTMAS EVE OF HORROR

STORY OF THE MIRACULOUS MEDAL. ( Written for the Catholic Almanac)

I EARS, wolves, wolverines, and other wild animals, were very plentiful in the county of Ontario — par- ticularly in the northern part of the county, at the close of the last, and long after the be- ginning of the present century. The early settlers suffered much from the depre- dations of those animals, and many and thrilling were the tales told at the log cabin fireside of women and children having been devoured by wolves, and of the hair-breadth escapes of benighted travellers from the ferocious animals. Not infrequently had it happened that the sohtary settler, missing his way in the depth of the forest, found refuge in the protecting branches of a friendly tree, whilst a pack of the bloodthirsty brutes kept howling and leaping and snapping around it, in their cruel eagerness to get at their prey, until daylight brought relief Of those narratives, the following, which is referred to in Higgins' Historical Sketch of the County of Ontario, is perhaps among the saddest and most tragical :

On the removal of the seat of govern- ment from Newark to York (now, respec- tively, Niagara and Toronto), in 1796, amongst those who followed in its wake was a certain Corporal Crawford, a dis- charged British soldier, and his wife and two children. Crawford, it appears, had met with an accident, causing the loss of an eye, which led to his discharge. He was a fine-looking man, athletic and well proportioned, and standing over six feet in height. His wife, Mary, whom the corporal had married some six months

previously, was the widow of a deceased soldier, and her two children, a girl and a boy, four and six years of age, respectively, were by the first husband. She was a tidy, clever, hearty young Irishwoman, of some five and twenty. Crawford, who was about ten years her senior, was a Scotchman. He was much given to hunt- ing and fishing, spent a good deal of his time in the woods, and was quite a suc- cesful sportsman. Although he was privileged to take up 400 acres of land, and might have done so almost anywhere in the front, along the lake shore, at the time we are writing about; he was too careless for his own advantage, and too indifferent to what was due to his family about selecting his location. In company with a friendly Indian of the Mississagua tribe, for whom he had done some kind- ness, and who was very much attached to him, Crawford spent days a-nd weeks camping in the woods, hunting and trap- ping fur-bearing animals, which were then so numerous in the unbroken forest. On one of such excursions, the ex-soldier was taken to a beaver-meadow, on the borders of a stream flowing into Lake Simcoe (supposed to be the site of the present village of Beaverton, in North Ontario), where the game was very abundant. There were many delightful spots on the margin of the lake, looking out over the tranquil waters, and to one of these, Crawford was specially attracted, and had determined upon making it his future home. He managed to build a log cabin and make a little clearing ; and to this sequestered location

" In depth of woods embraced,"

he, with the help of the friendly Intlian, conveyed his wife and children, in the early spring of the year, the season being remarkably fine and mild. The wife was charmed with the beauty of the place and its surroundings ; and if the cabin were small and lonely, it was well j)rovided. Venison was plentiful, and as well as partridge and other wild fowl, could be had almost anywhere in the woods with little trouble, and the most delicious fish might be taken at pleasure from stream and lake, while wild strawberries and raspberries grew in great abundance about the place. Then, the care of her children and their amusing prattle helped to relieve the loneliness of her situation. And she was soon able to manage a canoe and paddle over the waters of the lake with the delighted children, who felt the joyousness of Nature's freedom and innocence in all their sylvan surroundings. Time passed pleasantly during the sum- mer and fall over the contented little family in the woods. The Indian trail, between their village, north of Lake Couchiching (now Orillia), and Lake Ontario, passed near the cabin, and the red men and their squaws were all most friendly disposed toward the solitary white family. Once, the cupidity of a young squaw tempted her to take fror:i the little wiiite girl a little silver medal, which was enclosed in a chamois covering and hung on a ribbon around the child's neck. It was only a small silver trinket, seemingly, and there was attached to it a little curious stone pendant resembling a lovely white pearl. But the mother valued the trinket very much. It had been blessed and placed on the child's neck by a Jesuit priest, by whom she had been baptized ; and the mother insisted that, when out on Lake Simcoe — which is noted for the sudden- ness with which squalls spring up — she had only to look at the little stone, that it changed color and turned dark, fore- boding a storm, and that when trouble to the family hovered near, the stone also gave warning by similar changes of color, and that when the color changed to red it foretold the spilling of blood. Mrs. Crawford, in fact, regarded this as her greatest treasure. And her grief at its loss may be imagined when she found it missing. After a week or so it was re- turned by the Indians. It had been seen

with the young squaw, and she was com- pelled to give it up. It was, however, stolen a second time, but returned again by the hands of a Jesuit missionary, as will appear further on. A belt of wampum was kept constantly hung up in a con- spicuous part of the cabin, having been given by the chief of the tribe to Crawford, as a token of friendship and protection ; and an excellent purpose it served when strolling Indians came that way.

Signs of the coming winter were now beginning to be noticed, and the Indians predicted bad weather and a severe season. There vvas an unusually early fall of snow, and these intimations weigh- ing with her, the wife wished to be nearer the settlement of York. She had also an additional reason for wishing to make the change, being near her confinement. One thing and another delayed their departure, until the poor woman was unexpectedly overtaken in her confine- ment. Her illness brought her to death's door, and her life would have been endangered by any attempt at removal.

Winter, in all its severity, came on apace, as had been predicted, and this year much earlier than usual. The hus- band exhausted all his resources and ingenuity in providing for the wants of wife and family. Indeed, from the ample natural means at command, provided by an all-bounteous Providence, he had no difficulty in laying in stores of food and procuring firewood. Bread, and the flour to make it with, was the one great defi- ciency, and the little stock of the latter on hand was supplemented as far as pos- sible by large gatherings of nuts, which were ground and mixed with it. The mother and infant (another girl) grew stronger, and, to the mother's joy, the infant girl was baptized into the Catholic faith by the Jesuit missionary to the Mississagua Indians, located at Lake Couchiching. The good father made the tramp of over twenty miles on snowshoes to administer the last rites of the Church to the mother, who was supposed to be dying, as well as to baptize the infant. The " blessed medal," as it was called, was again returned by the priest, to whom it had been given for the purpose by an Indian, and by his hands again placed on the little girl's neck with his pious, blessing.

IDcvourc^ bg naolvcs

As has been said, the winter was one of unusual severity. Toward Christmas, the howhng of starving packs of wolves was incessant throughout the long nights, filling the poor wife and children of Crawford with terror. Crawford had his gun, of course, but only a scant supply of ammunition. He was, when the weather permitted, in the habit of making short excursions in order to obtain, when possible, fresh supplies, which he always endeavored to fetch home before night came on, to the expectant family. From one of these — the last in his tragic story — he did not return as usual.

It was Christmas Eve. Night fell, and darkness set in, and the uneasiness of the wife grew to alarm at the husband's continued absence. She went out and "tooted the horn" again and again, as was the custom of the early settlers, so as to guide absent members of the family who may have lost their way. But there was no answering response. Solitary wolves were seen prowling about by her on these occasions when she went to the door and "tooted" in the blinding snow- storm which prevailed, and overcome with terror, she considered it unsafe any longer to venture outside the door, which was kept shut and barred. Far into the nigh: the howling of a pack of wolves, at first distant, came nearer and nearer the cabin. Listening and trembling, she heard a rush towards the door, and believing she heard the voice of her husband, in her fond eagerness to give him succor, opened the door. Fatal step ! The ferocious brutes madly rushed in, tumbling over each other in their bloodthirsty eagerness. The terror-stricken, defenceless woman, with her infant hugged to her despairing breast, was knocked down and quickly overcome, the savage animals fighting and tearing each other in glutting with wild fury over their helpless prey. A child's crib, clumsily made of heavy pieces of timber, was overturned in the dreadful onslaught, and covered up within it was the little girl, the older of the children. She was completely hidden by the over- turned crib, and, rendered unconscious by fright, never moved.

Daylight — daylight, Christmas morning — broke in upon this horrible "scene in the woods, when Crawford arrived, only to see the wolves, some of them with

33

bloody jaws, slinking away from the havoc and wreck of his wretched cabin and the terrible destruction of his devoted wife and children. He had, it appeared, followed too far after a large buck which he had wounded, and on his return home night had fallen, the snow-storm had come on suddenly, and pursued by part of the hungry pack of wolves, which had got on the scent of the wounded deer, he had taken refuge in a tree. This was scarcely a mile distant from his home. While in this place of safety, the wolves, which were howling and jumping at the foot of the tree, suddenly followed in pursuit of the buck, which, unluckily, had taken a course that led towards the cabin. Craw- ford could tell from the savage howling that arose above the storm that something dreadful was going on in that direction. Frantic and heartbroken, he arrived ui^on the agonizing scene just pictured. Turn- ing over the heavy crib, the little girl was found unhurt. Some bloody tresses of his poor wife's hair, some fragments of clothing, and the partially devoured car- cass of a wolf were all that was left ; but that was enough to show the shocking tragedy that had taken place, and the dreadful end of the defenceless woman and the two younger children. Immedi- ately outside the door of the cabin were found the antlers of the buck, from which it was conjectured that the hunted animal ran towards the light when the door was opened by Mrs. Crawford, expectmg to admit her husband.

Corporal Crawford never again returned to civilized life. The memory of the events of that dreadful night completely unhinged his reason. Through his friendly Indian companion, he was adopted by the Mississaguas, who regarded his infir- mity of mind as an additional claim upon their protection. The little girl whose life was so miraculously preserved from the ravening jaws of the wolves, was returned to relatives of her mother on the American side, by whom she was cared for and brought up. The thriving village of Beaverton has grown up about the spot where Crawford is supposed to have built his cabin, and on the scene of the tragic occurrence are now populous streets, with fine shops, with railways, telegraphs, telephones, electric lights, and all the ad uncts of advanced civilization, where

H)cvourcD bg "UHolvcB

once stood the dense forest which shel- tered the savage wolves.

During the summer of 1859, an elderly lady, giving the name of Mrs. Adams, from Bloomington, in the Statt. of Illinois, called at my office, in Whitby. She was accompanied by Mr. Charles Robinson, of Beaverton (father of C. Blackett Robin- son, publisher of the "Presbyterian" news- paper), who was then Reeve of Thorah. and, I think, Warden of the county for that year.

" Mrs. Adams has an extraordinary childhood experience to relate to you, and a great curiosity to show you," ob- served Mr. Robinson, after some passing introductory remarks. And the above narrative, which was afterwards confirmed by Mr. Joseph Gould, ex-M.P., and is mentioned in his " Life and Times," and history of the county, was taken down.

" You may indeed call my escape miraculous ; but under God's blessing and favor, I have always held to it, this blessed gift of a holy priest has been the means of preserving me from harm." Producing a gold locket, which was attached to a heavy gold chain worn around her neck, she opened it, and set within was displayed the "miraculous medal " and pearl-like pendant.

" This is what saved me from the wolves ; it protected me in my childhood ; it helped me to preserve the faith of my Irish Catholic mother as I grew up, and was daily surrounded by scoffers of our holy religion. It attracted to me the good man who became my husband, who joined the Church when he married me, who lived the life of a good, practical Catholic, influencing others by his good

example, and who died strong in the faith. In the many troubles and vicissitudes of life, the touching it and feeling it about me has given me strength to resist temptation, and to pray to the Mother of our Lord for her intercession with her Divine Son in my behalf. I am now in my 76th year, and have lived a long and happy life. I had often resolved to re-visit the scene of the sad death of my mother, and this I have just done, after a period of seventy years. But there was not a vestige of anything that I could remem- ber left, except the lake itself. The forest and its denizens had given way to towns and villages, houses and barns, grazing cattle and cultivated fields. Still, I had the gratification of beholding the place of such dreadful memories once more, and returning thanks to God through my tears, whilst kissing my ' miraculous medal ' for my preservation.

" No, I am not superstitious ; far from it. You may call it an amulet, if you like. I regard it as a link between my- self and my guardian angel ; my rainbow of promise, doubly blessed. I think the little stone is an opal, and as you know, the ancients set great store upon such, believing that it gave safety to, and im- parted courage also to the owner, and was an infallible preservative of virtue and chastity."

I got a marked Bloomington paper in 1861, announcing the death of Mrs. Adams, so that she lived to be nearly eighty years of age. She had no children living, and I heard that she had left the locket and " miraculous medal " to a priest in Peoria.

A VISIT TO S. ANNE DE BEAUPRE

"A ^ ANY are the avocations, both

/ T 1 reUgious and secular, carried J_ \_ out on the banks of the noble St. Lawrence, in the length of its majestic course to the sea. Perhaps no other new-world river can claim so much of the religious, as set forth in the magnificent churches, convents, colleges, seminaries and endless charitable institu- tions which grace its shores. But even these are not all it can boast of in thmgs spiritual. A few miles on from the river's pride — quaint old Quebec — is situate another ancient place, favored of I^ature and of God — the shrine of good S. Anne.

Much has been written of S. Anne's by experts in description, so this sketch will not pretend to give definite information, but rather, impressions during a short visit.

\\q had travelled all night from Mont real, so, on entering the Basilica, which we did at once, I fear the physical was far uppermost in me, for I felt there was not much use trying to be pious till we had breakfast, at least, if not some sleep. But it would require the intervention of the supernatural, I suppose, for robust health to feel otherwise.

The Church is a magnificent building, and spacious enough to allow the explora- tions of curious tourists who merely stay long enough for a general view, and to examine the pyramids of crutches and other articles left as grateful offerings for cures effected, without disturbing the devotions of pious pilgrims who surround the sanctuary. The altar is of white marble, and was decorated exclusively with white flowers, forming a halo round it. Just outside the altar rail is the beautiful statue of S. Anne and one of the relics. Here repair the clients for favors — in- valids in Sedan chairs, the blind, lame, deaf and dumb, those in trouble of mind as well as body. It is a sight never to be forgotten, and to a careless glance might suggest only the sensation of discomfort which health has in the presence of infirm- ity. But as the crust of worldliness becomes softened, a feeling of brotherhood and kinship with these poor sufferers takes

possession of one, and the divine attribute of compassion, called up by the terribly realistic scenes in the sufferings of our Redeemer portrayed in painting and sculp- ture all around, surely helps one to a higher, holier frame of mind.

Everything at S. Anne's is "high" and " holy." One lodges at the Francis- can Convent, and climbs some seventy steps to reach its door. Over eighty steps reach from the street to the top of the Scala Sancta, but only about twenty of these are the holy steps, to be ascended on one's knees instead of ordinary fashion. This mode may be awkward and tiresome, but, ah, at the top one forgets the fatigue in contemplation of the groups represent- ing the " Man of Sorrows." The demoniac expression of the soldiers in the " Scourg- ing" arouses all one's wrath against — oneself. The agonized look on the faces of the Mother of Sorrows and S. John is not easily forgotten. The pathetic figure in the group, " Oh, God, look on the face of thy Christ 1 " would melt a heart of stone.

The stations of the Cross are planted on the mountain side, and are a little more difficult to make than one ordinarily finds tiiat devotion.

But let us return to the Church. We may pass through a side door, and going through the lateral chapels, take our place in any part of the edifice, and always the same scene of incessant supplication with unswerving faith greets the eye. After the last morning train arrives, there is the

veneration of the relic, when all go up to the altar-rail, and the priest applies the precious case to infirm portions of the body.

The good Redemptorists are busy work- ers. At all hours they are called on in their capacity of confessors, consolers and directors,

I think evening at S. Anne's is the time most in harmony with the spirit of the place.

" What joy to hear at evening's solemn hour, The music of th/ sweet-toned bells resound < )'er land and water, from thy lofty tower, Inviting all to prayer."

In answer to the invitation, the Church was pretty well filled at benediction hour, though there was no special pilgrimage then at the shrine. And ah, the way those men sang the Tantum Ergo and other hymns without instrumental accom- paniment ! The rich notes soared along the lofty dome, and seemed an offering that must be heard by Heaven.

On passing from the Church the bells rang out a joyous peal, rising and swelling, echoing far out over the calm waters of the S. Lawrence, and returning from the purple old mountains to the listeners who strolled along the shore. A beautiful, peaceful, blessed spot is this, and well fitted to be the shrine of one so well beloved of God — La Bonne S. Anne de Beaupre.

S. Michael's College, Toronto.

THE BASILDAN;

Foundation of the Order in France— Introduction to Canada by Bishop De Charbonnel— S. Michael's College, Toronto — Assumption College, Sandwich -The Novitiate, Toronto— Distinguished alumni- Parishes in charge of the Order.

THE Congregation of Basilians, or Priests of S. Basil, originated in the year 1800, with Archbishop d' Avian, of Vienne, in France, who established it to carry on preparatory colleges and semin- aries for the education of young men for the priesthood. The first house was in the parish of S. Basil — whence the name — situate amorig the mountains of Vivarais.

For a number of years it was a free association, bound together but by the simple promise of consecrating itself to the teaching- of youth, until, at the sugges- tion of Mgr. Guibert, then Bishop of \'i\ders (afterwards Archbishop of Paris), the Superior applied to Rome for recog- nition as a community bound by the usual religious vows of poverty, chastity and obedience. On November 23rd, 1863, Pope Pius IX. issued a decree approving and confirming the " pious institute."

The mother-house of the Basilians is at Annonay (Ardeche), France. Branches have been established in England and North Africa, as well as in Canada. The present Superior-General of the Order is

the v. Rev. A. Fayolle ; Provincial of Canada, V. Rev. \^ictor Marijon.

The establishment of the Congregation in this country was one amongst the many good works of the Bishop of Toronto. Armand Francois Marie, Comte De Char- bonnel, a French nobleman of ancient lineage, a Capuchin and most zealous churchman, the Bishop alluded to, had himself received his classical education in one of the houses of the Basilians at Annonay, and knew the worth of the members of the community as religious organizers and instructors. Indeed, as has been already noted, this was the main end in view at the foundation of the community. The Reign of Terror and the suppression of the Jesuits in France had worked most disastrously against the recruiting of the ranks of the priesthood. The Basilians nobly entered the field, and with the best results to religion and education. F>om the small beginning, under the auspices of Mgr. d'Avian, three priests, seconding his wishes began to teach the rudiments of Latin to young peasants the first year. The following year the establishment.

endowed by the Government with the title of .secondary school, numbered more than one hundred students. In 1802, the school was moved to Annonay, the most important town in the Department of Vivarais. Here, advancing under the authorization of the Empire, the numbers swelled to four hundred.

The Hon Captain Emsley.

When Mgr. l)e Charbonnel entered Toronto, September 21st, 1850, as its Spiritual head, he was accompanied by Mgr. Prince, Coadjutor Bishop of Mont- real, one Basilian priest (Father Maloney), and three students. Father Maloney was an Irish gentleman and an ecclesiastic of much repute, who had been teaching in the College during the Bishop's student days, and his abilities must have made a deep impression upon his former pupil. The new Bishop regarded him as the one man just fitted for the work in hand. And the legend runs that on Mgr. I)e Charbonnel's return to the College pre- vious to taking charge of his diocese, in his eagerness to secure the Irish priest, his first utterance was, "Is Maloney here? Where is Maloney?" And "Where is Maloney ? " was a standing joke against his Lordship for many a day after he had reached the episcopal dignity.

The beginning of the fast-approaching twentieth century will witness the fiftieth anniversary of the arrival of the Basilians in Ontario, and the opening of a College in the diocese of Toronto for the educa- tion of Catholic youth.

There are still among us some who witnessed these small beginnings of the Basilians in this country, while one of the original staff of professors, the Rev. Dr. Flannery, of St. Thoma.s, is still doing active work in his parish, upholding with his pen and from his pulpit the belief and rights of Catholics.

From the small house on Queen street, which first contained the new Order, and then the not much more commodious apartments adjoining the Palace, where

two of the professors were obliged to teach class in their private rooms— where an increase, however desired, to the half- dozen boarders then accommodated would have taxed the ingenuity of the Fathers, where the attendant noise of a large class of day pupils, as well as boarders, was continually in the ears of the patient and saintly Bishop— to the large pile of buildings on the height of ground on S. Joseph street, with the pictur- esque Church of S. Basil occupying the west end, and announcing the great share of parish and mission work unostenta- tiously done by the Fathers, is a great step on the road of progress. The num- ber of boarders now reaches 140, and the staff, which some forty years ago consisted of the Superior, Father Soulerin, and four assistants, Fathers Maloney, Malbos, Vin- cent and Flannery, to-day numbers some nineteen professors in S. Michael's College, while the strength of the Basilians through- out the Provmce may be computed at about forty priests, with some ten scholas- tics and six novices, the annual expenditure in Toronto alone of College and collegians amounting, at the most moderate calcula- tion, to $20,000.

Surely God's blessing can be seen in this prosperity, for the means from the outside world 'have been wonderfully dis- proportionate to the end already achieved. In the early days of the Basilians, their great benefactor. Captain the Hon. John Elmsley— whose heart, bequeathed by will to his dearly loved religious, reposes behind the marble slab erected to his memory by them in S. Basil's Church, Toronto— donated a large portion of the present site of S. Michael's College.

Rt. R'v. Deni.s O'Connor, C.S.B. , Bishop of London.

i'he late Chevalier W. J. Macdonell, during his lifetime, presented to S. Mich- ael's College his unique and valuable library, one of the largest private libraries in Toronto, which his extensive knowledge, ripe scholarship and educated judgment had gathered together.

Former students of S. Michael's College have remained firm friends of the institu- tion, testifying their good-will whenever called upon. Their names can be found at the foot of the handsome stained glass windows of S. Piasil's Church, and on the tablets in the porch, as benefactors to the building, while the prize lists, \yith the different scholarships and bursaries, pro- claim the continued interest in present and future students of their Alma Mater.

A peru.sal of the list of students who have made their course, or a portion of it, within the colleges of the Congregation of S. Basil, shows that eighty per cent, have entered the priesthood, an almost inappreciable number commercial life, and the remainder are following the learned professions.

The Basilians can claim as former students devoted priests in every diocese of Ontario and in the neighboring States, but the ministers of the Church, at least in this country, never attain wealth

perhaps it is a matter of congratulation that such is the case — great fortunes are rarely made in the professions, and no merchant princes are among the alumni of the College, it becomes intelligible, then, how the noble work of education as conducted by them remains as yet unendowed by private beneficence.

History and observation tell us that in every new country, as wealth accumulates and material wants are supplied, the needs of the mind are recognized, and wealth, with attendant leisure, are applied to the attainment of education, of culture and all the refinements of civilized life. This period is surely dawning for our educa- tional institutions : there is promise of it in the generous endowments and gifts bestowed upon the more favored denom- inational colleges by such of their sympathizers as have been blessed with an abundance of this world's goods. All credit to the Basilians, who, with no such aid, have accomplished so much, who have devoted themselves to the cause of education with the pure intention of serv- ing (iod. Yet, it should be remembered that enduring work cannot be done with- out great means, and the proverbial generosity of Catholics should be directed to this noble end.

In September, 1855, the corner stone of the present building of S. Michael's College was laid, and the work of teaching tlierein began in the same month of the following year. Among the early profes- sors we meet the name of the late Mgr. P. Rooney, who always avowed himself to have been the first parish priest of S. Basil. Since that time sewral additions

have been made. The main building was extended to the eastern wing, which was added in 1872. In 1877 the sanctuary of S. Basil's Church was built, and in 1886 the Church was extended in front and the tower erected. The summer of 1898 will bring further alterations and improvements to the College of such magnitude as to completely transform the present structure. Yet the old cramped quarters in the wing of S. Michael's palace, known later as S. Vincent's Chapel, held bright students, whose scholarship and success might be ambitioned by the stu- dents of these later days, more favored in their surroundings. Bishops Denis O'Connor, of London, R. A. O'Connor, of Peterborough, T. J. Dowling, of Hamilton, Monsignor rieenan, of Dundas, and Father Ferguson, of Assumption College. Sandwich, are amongst the honored names of those who studied in this early home of the Basilian Fathers.

In 1881 the College was affiliated with the University of Toronto upon a basis similar to that of those in England and Ireland with the London University. All the teaching, or as much of it as tht College authorities may find convenient, may be done in the College, while all the examinations upon mental and moral science are upon the matters taught in S. MichaeFs College.

Father Soulerin had continued Superior of S. Michael's College until his election in May, 1865, to the office of Superior- General of the Community. This neces- sitated his return to France, where his death occurred in November, 1879. His name and memory are deservedly held in benediction. His extensive learning, his

ceeded Father Soulerin, and continued .Superior for twenty-one years. He was well fitted for the position. Under him, the growth of the College advanced steadily, the number of students increased, and the building enlarged.

Assumption College, Sandwich, was opened in 1870 at the request of the then Bishop of London (now Archbishop of Toronto). The Rev. Denis O'Connor,

p. Kvati, C S.i;

CS.B. (now Bishop of London), was appointed Superior, with four young ecclesiastics. These were the Rev. Father McBrady (now in charge of the Novitiate, North Toronto), Father B. O'Connell, at present parish priest at Mount Forest, and Fathers John Quinlan and Scanlon, both since deceased. The attendance then numbered but thirty boys ; now the numbers run up to from 150 to 160 boarders, besides those in attendance at the day school. When Dr. O'Connor was raised to the episcopate, Father Cushing became Superior. There are now some fifteen priests and ecclesiastics engaged in teaching.

Upon Father \^incent"s being relieved (at his own recjuest) of the Superiorship of the College in 1886, Father Daniel Cushing was appointed. Father \'incent retaining the office of Provincial of the Community.

'I'hree years later, on the resignation of the Rev. Father Cushing, the Rev. Dr. Teefy became Superior of the College. Dr. Teefy is a distinguished honor man of Toronto Universitv. His learning, elocjuence and zeal eminently fit him for the discharge of the duties, and he enjoys in an unwonted degree the confidence and respect, not only of the students, but of all who have the honor of his actjuaint- ance. He is also a member of the Senate

of the University. Like the Rev. Father McBrady, one of the most eloquent of preachers, and a man of scholarly attain- ments and deep devotion to duty, Dr. Teefy is a native-born Canadian. Both are of the good old Irish Catholic stock, whose race has given the foremost pulpit orators and teachers to the Catholic Churches and Colleges in every portion of the (English-speaking) globe.

Father Vincent's health continuing very feeble, he resigned his office in 1890. and was succeeded by the Very Rev. \'ictor Marijon, likewise from the Department of Ardeche, France, who is the present

(Jrder was built at a cost of $20,000, and in October, 1892, the first novices entered the new building. Since that time thirty- one candidates have been receiv'ed. Of these, twenty-five have persevered in the religious life, and will continue the work of the Basilians. They represent many nationalities — Canadian, Irish, English, American, French and German.

At the present time there are eight scholastics and six n-ovices in the Novitiate under the direction of the Rev. R. Mc- Brady, Rev. T. Kelly and Rev. Fr. Aboulin. Superior of Novitiate.

It is worthv of note that the widow of

With the foresight of prudent educators, the Basilians have recognized the need of forming the characters of those who are to succeed them in such manner that they cannot but be familiar with the wants of their country and their age ; where they will be in touch with those traditions and memories— and they are not few — which are stored up by Canadians. So the Novitiate and Scholasticate of the

the late Hon. John Elmsley, by contribut- ing a sum towards the erection of a chapel for the scattered Catholics in what was known as Irishtown, advanced somewhat the building of the Novitiate, since the chapel mentioned (the Holy Rosary) is under the roof of the Novitiate. Its steadily increasing congregation is in charge of the Basilians, ' the Rev. P. Donahoe being parish priest.

It was built by the old French fabrique, who handed it over to the charge of the Basilian Fathers. It is the direct successor of the earliest mis- sion established in Detroit. In addition to these we have S. Basil's parish, Toronto, in charge of the Rev. L. Brennan, who is assisted by the Rev. Father Frachon, and Assumption parish, Sandwich, attended by Rev. N.

congregations bear witness to the devoted labors of the Congregation of S. Basil.

Wherever they have established them- selves, the Basilians have done notable educational work. Everywhere they have been successful, and everywhere their teaching has been highly valued. To their instruction and discipline the parents of the Catholic youth owe much — nay, the whole people at large are indebted — for by them were laid the grand founda- tions of knowledge and religion, piety and

\irlue which have produced some of the best and most trusted of Canadians. Conscious of their responsibility for the guidance, and perhaps the future and position in life of the youth conmiitted to their charge, they did their whole duty, and left the impress of their character upon their pupils when with those pupils —

JUBILEE OF THE BUILDING OF THE CHURCH.

j<y;^ffr*g^yi' is more than thirty years since the mission of Owen Sound was placed in charge of the Basilians by the late Bishop Farrell, of Hamil- ton. It embraced seventeen townships— from Orangeville to South- ampton, from Durham to Cape Croker. There were then no railroads, and to attend to the spiritual wants of a couple of hundred pioneer Catholic families, some of them living nearly a hundred miles apart, was no small task. Except for a short interval, the Rev. F. X. Gran- notier has been all along the head of the mission. Till 1873 there were but two fathers stationed there. There are now three, though the limits of the mission are much contracted. Still, it is pos- sible to have a sick call that \vill entail a journey of ninety or a hundred miles, while the lines of railway that have tap- ped the mission at various points and entered Owen Sound from two points of the compass, offer no facilities for mission or sick call works.

Tile priest has still to drive to reach his station. Churches have been erec- ted at Thornbury, Meaford, Priceville, I )ornoch, Chatsworth, \Viarton and Owen Sound. On the feast of the Most Holy Rosary, 1896, Father Grannotier had with him in the sanctuary His Lordship the Bishop of London, Monsigneur McEvay, representing the Bishop of Hamilton, unavoidably absent, Fathers Delargy and Heenan, two Redemptorists, who were about to open a mission that day, and Fathers Murray, Brennan, Buckley and Shaughnessy, Basilians. The occasion that brought them together was the cele- bration of the Silver Jubilee of the Ow:en Sound Church. Twenty-five years ago that day, the late Bishop Farrell, of Hamilton, had laid the corner stone of S. Mary's, and when one considers the slender resources of the handful of Cath- olics who form the Owen Sound con- gregation, the won- der is that they had courage to face such an undertaking. The Church in its present finished state must have cost close on twenty thousand dollars. The struggles, the sacrifices ret]uired to secure that sum are fully known only to the Rev. F. X. Gran- notier. At the end of twenty-five years of patient labors, he was at length able to announce to his ( )wen Sound congregation that there did not remain a cent of debt on their Church.

THE FINLAND EPIC

THE KALEVALA (Land of Heroes)

( ll'iitlen for the Catholic Alniaiiai)

HIS wonderful poem, admitted by able scholars to be one of the grandest epics the human race has yet achieved, has fallen from the mouths of the aged upon the earof the peopleof this generation. The songs of nomadic barbarians have come to us along the lines of time from centuries and centuries, back to delight and aston- ish the literary world of to-day. The Iliad has a rival. " Songs of ancient wit and wisdom" blended together in exquisite verse familiarize us with the history of an ancient and almost unknown people, and acquaint us with the entire wisdom and accumulated experience of a nation. Emerging from dark ages this rugged poem takes its place, by the consent of scholars, among the national epics of the world. In moral beauty, length, interest, and completeness it stands nearly, if not quite the equal, of the Iliad. This is ad- mitted by no less an authority than Max MuUer, and language masters unite in proclaiming it to be one of the most precious contributions to the literature of the world since the days of Milton and the German classics.

We owe the rescue of the Kalevala from literary oblivion to the untiring zeal of Zacharias Topelius and Elias Lunnrot,both practising physicians in Finland. They traversed the country and snatched from bards the epical fragments which were finally arranged under the central idea of a great epic by Dr. Lunnrot, and in 1835 transmitted in manuscript to the Finnish Literary Society. It was immmediately published. Thus this poem of a remote age, that had so long been poured but into the ear of nomads, was presented to the eye of the present generation. Scholars were amazed and delighted. Fired with zeal they in turn joined Dr. Lunnrot in

further research which brought to light so many additional parts of the epical treas- ure that a new publication became neces- sary, and in 1849 the Kalevala was presented to us as it stands to-day, em- bracing fifty runes, and 22,793 h'nes. Amazing indeed that such an unmense body of verse should have been preserved in the memory of this people, carrying us back, it is claimed, to a period contemp- orary with the Iliad. If contemporary with the Iliad it is nearly contemporary with Solomon. How deeply interesting must be the poem that introduces us to the life and character of so ancient a people. Soon after the building of Solomon's Temple these nomads were chanting their verse, of which we are now the happy possessors, and in their song setting forth their customs, manner of living, and religious belief.

To the indefatigable labors of two Finnish physicians we owe the rescue of the Kalevala from literary oblivion, and to the untiring patience, learning, and poeti- cal genius of an American physician. Dr. John Martin Crawford, of Cincinnati, we aie indebted for its exquisite translation direct fiom the Fmnish into our native tongue 'Twere scarcely possible to exag- gerate the wealth of music in this verse.

^Ve may congratulate ourselves that not- withstanding the excessive use of endear- ing diminutives and emotional interjec- tions which are characteristic features of the Finnish language, and of which there is a considerable deficiency in ours, the chief beauties of Finnish verse admit of an apt rendering into English. The French are less fortunate, and after a vain effort of eleven years to adapt the epic to their verse are obliged to content them- selves with a prose translation. We are not, however, alone in our triumph, as the Swedes, Germans, and Hungarians have translations in the original metre, to

47

XLbc ikalcvala, £aiO of Ibciocs

which the Hiinp;arian hears the closest resemblance, owing to the similarity of that language to the Finnish tongue.

A proof of the genuineness of the Fin- land epic is its unique verse. The Finnish language does not easily admit of rhyme, but the natural speech of the people is poetry. Young and old in ordinary conversation fall into verse. Their strongly trochaic words tend to this end. It is not surprising, therefore, that the metre of their epic is the eight- syllabled trochaic, whirh with the part line echo and partial use of alliteration is the distinct creation of the Finns.

The principal personages of this metri- cal theme are Wainamoinen, the ancient singer, Umarinen, the eternal forger, and Lemenkainen, the warrior and reckless wizard. Thus are typified the poetic, art and song : the useful arts, and the art of war. Descendants from the celestial virgin, Ilmatar, each hero is thought to be of divine origin. The birth of Waina moint-n is related in the first rune of the Kalevala, and he and Umarinen, at least, witnessed the begitining of things, and even took part in the creation. Waina- moinen is regarded as a teacher of his people,

" Singing ever wondrous legends, .Songs of ancient wit and wisdom."

The Esthonians regard these heroes as sons of the Great Spirit, begotten before the earth was created, and dwelling with their Supreme Ruler in lumala.

This legend, considered with the sup- posed miraculous birth of Wainamoinen and his office as teacher of the people, may surely be regarded as a remnant of the primitive truth. So there are traces of the Christian revelation in the 50th rune, telling of the virgin mother Mariatta, and her golden babe. This legend was undoubtedly added early in the Christian era.

The power of magic attributed to the heroes and all the acting characters in the Kalevala far surpasses that related in the legends of any other people. Their mythology is very elaborate. Everything in nature is ruled by an invisible deity with a distinctive body and spirit. How- ever insignificant a spot he governs in it, he knows no master. Indeed, the absence of the interdependence of the gods is one

of the notable characteristics of Finnish mythology. Ukko, the sky god, although regarded as the chief deity, is not more divine than the sun god or moon god. They are uninfluenced by him, and are deities in their own right. Tuoni or Maria is the god of death ; Manala, his dwelling place. The Finns believed in a spirit of evil. Hesi is the Finnish devil, or chief of the forest devils, and exceedingly wicked. He was considered responsible for nearly all the misfortunes of the race, while Ukko frequently received songs of praise and gratitude for coming to the aid of someone suffering from the malice of the evil Hesi. As, for instance, when Waina- moinen receives a wound from his iron hatchet, evil Hesi having grasped the handle and turned it aside so as to strike the knee of Wainamoinen, causing streams of blood to flow. Cured by the magic of an old man, after the origin of iron had been sung by the hero — for it was held that no evil could be remedied unless the origin of what had caused it was known — Wainamoinen

" Raised his eyes to high luinala, Looked with gratitude to heaven, Looked on high with joy and gladness, Then addressed omniscient Ukko, This the prayer the minstrel uttered, O, be praised, thou (lod of mercy I Let me praise thee, my creator ; Since thou gavest me assistance And vouchsafed me thy protection, Healed my wounds and stilled mine anguish, Banished all my pain and trouble, Caused by iron and by Hesi."

The Finns believed in a future life. Manala corresponded to the upper world, and the sun and the moon visited there. The spirits of the dead were supposed to remain in their graves till they were puri- fied, when they were admitted to Manala. It is doubtful if they had any idea of reward and punishment in the world beyond. There are lines of the poem which indicate they had, but some critics consider they belong to a later develop- ment of the e[)ic when Christianity had been introduced, and here it may be mentioned that a bull of (Gregory the IX. refers to the martyrdom of certain of these people converted to Christianity. They were hunted to death by their pagan countrymen round the trees, whose divinity they refused to acknowledge.

The title of the epic "•Kalevala" reads in

48

XLbc Ikalcvala, XanO of fl^croce

our native tongue the " Land of Heroes," and the narrative of this remarkable poem is a relation in verse of the continual con- test between the Finns and Lapps, com- bined with their wooing for brides the beautiful maidens of the north. This is claimed to be another indication of the great age of the songs of these nomads, poiriting to a period when exogamy was law, and wives could not be taken from the kinsfolk of the clan.

The envied treasure of the Lapps was the mysterious sampo. All manner of marvellous effects were ascribed to it, and it was looked upon as a talisman of success to the possessor. The principal thread of the story follows its fortunes. One of the runes tells of its forging by Ilmarinen, the magic metal artist.

" He the one that forged the heavens, Forged the air a hollow cover ; Nowhere see we hammer traces, Nowhere find a single tong's mark."

The surrender of it to the hostess of the Lapps to secure her daughter, the Maiden of the Rainbow, for bride. A second and third rune relates its ultimate capture by the Finnish heroes. Its loss at sea. The final gathering of its frag- ments, thus restoring sunlight and pros- perity to their land, which had been blighted by the magic of the hostess of the Lapps in revenge for the loss of her treasure.

To the young and romantic mind the wooing of the beautiful maidens of the north by the heroes of the Finns is replete with fascination, and their sympathies will be extended, in a measure, to the chief of heroes, Wainamoinen, who was ever an unsuccessful suitor. His name, Vaino, synomyn for Wainamoinen, akin to the Magyar ven old, reveals the mystery with- out further investigation. Aino, his first love, refuses to be the bride of the aged minstrel, and in her misery finding herself promised as a ransom for her braggart brother Youkahainen, the Lapland mins- trel, a captive by the incantations of Wainamoinen, as punishment for claiming himself his equal in combat, song, and wisdom, mournfully sings :

" Woe is me, my life hard fated ; Woe to Aino, broken hearted. Torture racks my heart and temples ; Yet the sting would not be deepsr, Nor the pain and anguish greater If beneath this weight of sorrow I should yield my life forever,

Now unhappy I should perish. Lo ! the time has come for Aino From this cruel world to hasten To the kingdom of Tuoni, To the realm of the departed, To the isle of the hereafter."

Acting upon her words she commits herself to the Water Maidens, and spring- ing to a rock of rainbow colors falls with it to the bottom of the deep and bound- less sea.

Then we have the Maiden of the Rain- bow courted by Wainamoinen, who, not inconsolable for the loss of Aino, endeav- ors to win another beauty of the north. Obliged to give place to his younger brother, Ilmarinen, who had forged for her the sampo. He wanders to his native country,

" Chanting as he journeys homeward.

Woe is me, rejected lover ;

Woe is me, a witless minstrel ;

That I did not woo and marry

When my face was young and handsome,

When my hand was warm and welcome.

Youth dethrones my age and station,

Wealth is nothing, wisdom worthless

When a hero goes a wooing

With a poor but younger brother."

Beneath the lines of this beautiful poem covered by the first meaning lies the esoterical thought, which the student will take delight in unravelling. There is the suggestion of the contest between summer and winter, between good and evil, with the final triumph of good. There is a subtle philosophy and a natural wisdom that sometimes nearly touches the divine. If it be true, as has been said, that Hoir.er brightened his mythol- ogy with . a light almost divine in the famous passage in which he represents prayer as the daughters of Jupiter fol- lowing the footsteps of wrong, so may we claim, in some of the lines of the beautiful songs that have come to us a heritage from nomadic barbarians, some- thing of a light divine illumining the human heart.

" Do not walk in thine own virtue, Do not work in thine own power, Walk in strength of thy Creator ; Do not speak in thine own wisdom, Speak with tongue of mighty Ukko. In my mouth if there be sweetness, It has come from my Creator ; If my hands are filled with beauty. All the beauty comes from Ukko."

CHAPTER I.

ORRENTS of rain were fall- ing— such torrents as are seen onlyamong the Alpine mountains of Switzerland. The wind swept by one moment in great gusts of frenzy, the next in such wailings and moanings as make one shud- der and glance round in secret dread.

Monseigneur B., an eminent divine and orator, paced uj) and down his room, now and then standing at the window to gaze upon the raging elements. " It is impos- sible, quite impossible for me to go to- night," he murmured. " It is fully a mile to the church : to hold up an umbrella is out of the question, and no conveyance of any kind is to be had ; besides, I should only preach to empty benches, anyway." But the still, small voice within kept whispering in a really tantalizing manner, " You are expected, you promised, and your duty is to go."

A few minutes later the matter was decided, and Monseigneur, in mackintosh and overshoes, weathered the storm. As he neared the little church, he saw, by the glimmer of light from the windows, that, at all events, preparations had been made. He reached the vestry* drenched through and through, and as the sexton, who evidently didn't feel particularly comfortable, mopped up the wet that streamed from his shoulders to the floor, Monseigneur put the question that the sexton was rather loth to answer, " How many people in the church — is there anyone ? "

" Well, you see it's an awful night, sir." " And consecjuently empty benches, I suppose."

" Well, sir," replied the sexton, " there's a woman and a little boy, but maybe more will come, sir, though it's an awful night and no mistake, indeed."

Monseigneur seated himself to wait a little while, and pondered in his mind

whether, if the congregation did not in- crease, he should preach to the one woman and the little boy, or let the sexton tell her there would be no sermon on account of the unpropitious weather. He decided- ly inclined to the latter. He thought it really seemed hardly reasonable that he should be expected to address one woman and a little boy. But the tantalizing whisper began again, " She came out in torrents of rain ; why should it be in vain ? " It were scarcely charity to send her back in that terrible storm unrewarded by a single word. So surplice and stole were hurriedly put on, as if to avoid fur- ther argument, and Monseigneur stepped into the chancel, and preached from its railing every word of the discourse he had prepared — preached to the one woman and the little boy a sermon that was a life-long lesson. While disrobing in the vestry, preparing again to brave the storm, with a feeling of contentment that follows a victory over self, that inward peace that fidelity to duty brings, there came a gentle rap at the outside vestry door that passed for fancy amid the blustering of the wind and the splashing of the rain. Another, and yet another, until Monseigneur, to convince himself that it was fancy, and that no human being could be standing outside in such weather so gently tapping at the door, raised the latch. Before him stood a woman holding by the hand a little boy — a woman whose lovely coun- tenance surpassed, Monseigneur thought, as he gazed upon it — absolutely dumb for the moment with surprise and admiration — any he had ever looked u])on before, whether he turned his memory back to the English drawing-room or the French salon. Recollecting himself, he brought her in, and begged her to say what he could do for her. With her beautiful eyes downcast, in subdued and trembling tones she said : " Father, if I were worthy — if you thought I were worthy — I should

50

'5f a mere 'WaortbB"

like to be baptized. My last doubt van- ished as I listened to your words to-night."

Emotion shook Monseigneur to the very soul as he stood there charmed by her gentle, plaintive voice, and looking into her beautiful face — not the beauty of the drawing-room, not the beauty of the court, but the radiant beauty of a saint. Tell me, you who have the patience to follow my story to the end, whether I have said too much.

A time of meeting was arranged. The angels were singing their glorious anthems round that baptismal font where this sweet soul was soon to stand to be laved in the living waters. Now she kneels in the confessional, and Monseigneur says : " For the first time in my life I felt I was face to face with a saint." It is done. It is registered in Heaven, and, mark you, she will carry htr pure white robe unstained to be numbered among those who follow the Lamb whithersoever He goeth.

Upon further acquaintance Monseigneur found this beautiful creature was left a widow with one child ; her income was very meagre, but her husband belonged to a well-to-do English family who made up for the deficiency, seeing that all reason- able wants were well supplied. She was in Switzerland for her health, her lungs being exceedingly delicate, and indeed she looked the beautiful, frail flower she was.

" Father," she said one day, soon after her baptism, " I have not yet told my rela- tives of the step that I have taken, and I think I should do so now."

" Have you considered," replied Mon- seigneur, "what the result will be. They will say you have disgraced the family. What have you, my child, independent of their allowance ? "

" One hundred pounds a year, father," she replied.

" Weigh this matter well," said Mon- seigneur, " for I fear you will find no mercy."

" Oh, they are too kind, too generous," she cried, " they would never act so ! " And the conversation ended.

Monseigneur in the meantime had been called away, and was detained for some weeks. On his return his little penitent hastened to seek him. " Father," she said, in the sweet, low tone she always used, with never an unnecessary word, " if I were worthy (this always prefaced

every request) I would like to take charge of the sacristy of the little church."

" Certainly, my child; I will speak to Father V., and I am sure he will be glad to have you."

But nothing was said regarding the last conversation. No allusion made to it. Fr. V. was, indeed only too willing to have those holy little hands to tend the cham- ber of our Lord, where the angels witnes- sed the reverent service she offered to Him, who was her one delight ; and here, as she knelt in adoration. He whispered to her soul. Like the Blessed Virgin she kept all these things and pondered them in her heart.

Monseigneur was not without curiosity to know what his little penitent had done regarding her relations, and determined one day to ask her, since months had passed and still no allusion had been made to the matter. He was confident that either she had not told them or that he had been mistaken regard- ing the result, for she seemed, he thought, to want for nothing, and her boy was placed in a Jesuit college at a cost of fifty pounds a year. He was not a little sur- prised, therefore, to find she had told them and that his conjecture was correct, the remittance ceasing from the hour the letter was received; but his surprise increased when he discovered, upon close investiga- tion, that out of that hundred pounds she paid fifty for her boy, gave twenty-five to the poor, the remainder supplying her own wants. How did she do it ? What did she live on ? Surely the angels took her bread from Heaven, or our Lord per- mitted her to live upon the sweetness of His love.

It was shortly, very shortly, after this that " If I were worthy, if you thought I were worthy," fell again upon Monseig- neur's ear, but now there was a long pause, and a visible trembling. Her voice and her whole frame shook.

" Courage worthy of what, my child? '

*' To be a Poor Clare, Father," she sobbed out. " I would not dare to ask, I am so unworthy, but I have heard the voice so long and it commanded me to tell you."

Monseigneur was dumbfounded, indeed ! Here was a soul only recently received into the church asking to enter its most severe order. So delicate and frail that it seemed

51

•*3f 3 IXXcvc lUortbv?"

a breatli of wiml would be enough to waft her to the unseen land. A Poor Clare I oh, no I That was nonsense. He must not allow her enthusiasm to carry her that far, but not wishing to be abrupt with her gentle spirit, or to extinguish the evidently strong desire of her heart all at once, he said :

" My child, you really do not know what you ask. With your delicate health it would be impossible for you to follow the rule of the J^oor Clares. Then, what about your boy ?"

" I thought, Father, perhaps you would be his guardian. He could continue at the Jesuit college, and I could leave the money in your charge."

This she said with great timidity, which her flushed face and downcast eye easily revealed to Monseigneur. Hastening to reassure her he readily consented to the charge of the boy, " if," he added, "such an improbable thing should come about."

" I know I am not worthy, but the voice bid me tell you, Father."

" Well, well, wait six months, and if you still hear the voice, come to me. I am going away again, but shall be in a town near by, and will leave you my address."

She answered not a word, and no one but God and the saints in Heaven will know until the judgment day all that passed between her beautiful soul and the spouse that she had chosen during those six months.

CHAPTER n.

The allotted time is ended, and the train bears precious freight to the town of W., where Monseigneur dwells. The voice has been clear and distinct, and never ceased in her ear during all those months, and now it is louder than ever before, " Be a Poor Clare ! Be a Poor Clare !" it keeps repeating.

She has arrived at the town, and sits down in the waiting room, fixing her eyes upon the face of the clock. Presently she rises and slowly walks away in the direc- tion of Monseigneur's house. She reaches it, but waits again, quietly pacing up and down until she hears the town clock strike the hour of three. Then she rings the bell and is ushered into the presence of Monseigneur.

" Ah, my child," he said, giving her a

warm, kind greeting, "sit down." He draws out his pocket book and looks for a memorandum he had made. Yes, it is six months to the very day, and, mark you, /lour. He listens attentively, nervously to what she has to say. The voice has never ceased, and in the train it was louder than it had ever been. He paces up and down the room a little while, and then directs her.

"Go, my child, to the Jesuit Church here, and ask for Fr. B. Tell him you beg to be allowed to make a few days' retreat, after which relate your story. Do not mention my name ; only say you do this in obedience to your confessor. When your retreat is over, come back to me and tell me what he says."

It was no slight ordeal for her timid spirit thus to confront an entire stranger, but she did it all, obeying to the very letter every point, however trifling.

The retreat ended, and her confession made, Fr. B. said: "I t/ii^/k you may have a vocation to be a Poor Clare, but I wish to see your director ; tell him to call upon me, if you please."

These two wise heads planned and conned together what was to be done in this perplexing matter, and finally decided to refer it to the bishop.

Another long waiting followed, but she possessed her soul in patience. At length, the bishop decided she should be received into this austere order of the Church, where love works such wonders that women live like angels upon earth ; but the bishop decreed her probation and novitiate should be doubled. Jacob, be it remembered, worked seven years for Rachel, and then received Leah in her stead, but his love being great, he thought little of serving another seven to win the woman of his choice. Monseigneur's penitent counted it a small thing, indeed, to serve double time for the spouse of her choice. Indeed, so unworthy did she seem in her own eyes, that had the time been trebled she would have deemed it just.

CHAPTER III.

Time has fled again, and, oh, the very angels might envy the tieasures of grace stored in the heart of this frail flower, who is the heroine of this little story, the convert and penitent of the great divine

and orator, who wondered if he could be expected to preach to one woman and a, little boy. The convent doors have been opened, and the sweetest, purest of souls has mingled with its inmates. Oh, that it were possible to photograph the love imprinted upon her pure young heart ! The postulant has served iier lime, and yearns with the deep ardor of her soul to be clothed in her wedding garment, but the bishop's orders hold her back, and she who was perhaps a saint among saints must still tlie longings of her heart and wait. But God's ways are not always ours.

In the midst of the stillness that ever reigns in the Clare monasteries, there is a solemn hush that exceeds the ordinary quiet. There are tearful eyes and stifled sobs, and yet more frequent prayers, for in a rapid decline upon her mattress of straw, in her tiny cell, our frail, pure flower lies dying. Once more Monseigneur is at her side with bent head, trying to catch the faint sounds of her weak voice. Once more, " If I were worthy," is whis- pered in his ear. " If I were worthy before I die, would the bishop let me . . . Could I be permitted to make my vows ? "

It was the first time, the only time, she had ever asked exemption from anything. Could her divine spouse deny his ardent lover that request ? Oh, no ! The bishop has said "Yes," and Monseigneur, with another priest, has hurried back to that poor, yet rich cell, for there is not a moment to be lost. Beside that bedside there is nothing that the world holds dear, but the heavenly treasures of this dying soul are far beyond its power to understand.

It is over. She is clothed in that poor, coarse habit, and the angels that sang their holy anthems about her baptismal font when her lovely soul was laved in those cleansing v;aters, renew their song of praise over her bed of straw as they carry in their censers to Heaven the vows her sweet, stainless lips have uttered, and laying them at the feet of the Lamb, sing loud, loud Alleluias, which echo through- out the heavenly court. The death angel is waiting to bear her lovely, sinless soul.

ere those echoes cease, a gift to her divine spouse, that there she may awaken those sounds again, repeating Alleluia ! Alle- luia ! to the Lamb of God !

The viaticum is given, and our Lord rests in her burning breast. See ! her lips are moving. Monseigneur is again bend- ing over to catch her dying words. What are they ? To be alone a few moments with her God. Monseigneur and the priest kneel now outside her door and weep, until, only by great effort, they repress their sobs. They have been by many death-beds, but never one like this. To witness the burning love of her heart, the ardor of her soul ; to see God's infi- nite beauty reflected on the enhanced loveliness of her countenance, overpowered even those strong men, and for the time, at least, they became like little children. Hark ! there is a stir within — a slight, rustling sound. Is it the death angel carrying her pure spirit away ? The rustle grows louder, and is stealing to the door. Rooted to the spot, those two priests kneel ui wondering awe. In another moment the handle is turned, and the woman who but a moment ago they had left in her death agony, stands before them perfectly z£/e//— perfectly well. The bishop did not have his way, but God had His, and this frail flower breathed forth her fragrant odors among her sister Clares for ten whole years. What did God want of this generous soul ? We cannot tell. But we do know that He who gave the call levelled the mountains that human prudence had raised. The bishop did not have his way, but God had His ; and tell me, you who have had the patience to follow my story to its end, if I said too much when I called her beauty the radiant beauty of a samt, and say with me, "God is wonderful in His ways as He is wonderful in His saints."

The above facts which I have attempted to weave into a story, were related to me by Monseigneur himself. I have neither added to or taken from them. I offer them to the Catholic Almanac with the earnest desire that my effort may be A.M.D.G.

THt DARK GIRL BY THE HOLY WELL.

gi; JOHN'S WELL, near the town of Kilkenny, is a noted place for pious pilgrimages in Ireland. Crowds annu- ally assemble there on the Saint's Day to pay their devotions. Groups of cripples and " dark people," as the blind are called, and vari- ous other classes of pilgrims throng around the sacred fountain. And there, after all human means have been unsuccessfully tried, many and many have been cured. It is believed that when Heaven wills the performance of cures, the sky opens above the well at the hour of midnight, and that the Savior, the Virgin Mother and Saint John appear in the form of three snow-w'hites, and descend with the rapid- ity of lightning into the depths of the fountain. No person but those destined to be cured can see this miraculous phenomenon, but everybody can hear the musical sound of their wings as they rush into the well and agitate the waters. John Kugan, the author of "Caoch the Piper " and some other pathetic verses, paid a visit to the well in his boyhood. " Amongst the crowd," he says, " I had marked two pilgrims, who, from the moment I saw them, arrested my particu- lar attention. One of these was an aged female, decently clad ; the other was a very fine young girl, dressed in a gown, shawl and bonnet of faded black satin. This girl was of a tall and noble figure, strikingly beautiful, but stone blind. I learned that they were natives of the county Wexford, that the girl had lost her sight in brain fever in her childhood, and that all other human means having been tried in vain, she had as a last resource travelled all the way to pray at the shrine of S. John, and bathe her sightless orbs in the healing waters of the well." The following are the verses afterwards printed by him to mark the occasion. He repre- sents the blind girl as addressing her mother :

Mother 1 Is that the passing bell ?

Or yet the midnight chime? Or rush of Angels' golden wings ?

Or is it near the Time — The time when God, they say, comes down

This weary world upon, With Holy Mary at His right,

And at His left Saint John ?

I'm dumb ! My heart forgets to throb ;

My blood forgets to run ; But vain my sighs — in vain I sob —

God's will must still be done. I hear but tone of warning bell,

For holy priest or nun ; On earth, God's face I'll never see 1

Nor Mary ! nor Saint John I

Mother ! My hopes are gone again ;

My heart is black as ever ; Mother ! I say, look forth once more,

And see can you discover God's glory in the crimson clouds —

See does He ride upon That perfumed breeze — or do you see

The Virgin or Saint John ?

Ah, no ! Ah, no ! Well, God of Peace,

Grant me Thy blessing still ; O make me patient with my doom,

And happy at Thy will ; And guide my footsteps so on earth,

That when I'm dead and gone, My eyes may catch Thy shining light.

With Mary and Saint John !

Yet, mother, could I see thy smile

Before we part below, Or watch the silver moon and stars

Where Slaney's ripples flow ; Or, could I see the sweet sunshine

My native hills upon, rd never love my God the less,

Nor M^ry, nor Saint John 1

But no ; ah, no 1 it cannot be.

Vet, mother, do not mourn — Come, kneel again, and pray to (iod,

In peace let us return ; The Dark Girl's doom must aye be mine,"

But Heaven will light me on, Until I find my way to God,

And Mary, and Saint John !

*The miracle was not wrought in the poor girl's favor, who took ill and died before she reached home, when, let us hope, her prayer was granted in seeing the blessed light of Heaven, and Mary and Saint John.

THE S. VINCENT DE PAUL CEIILDREN'S AID SOCIETY OF TORONTO.

This Society was organized in 1894 with the approbation of His Grace, the Archbishop of Toronto, and having received authority from the Provineiai Government under 1 he ChildreiisPro- ■tection Act of i8gj, commenced operations in May, 1895. The object of the Society is to pro- tect Catholic Cnildren from cruelty and ill treat- ment, and to undertake the care and control of those who may be deprived of, or al)andoned, or neglected, by their natural guardians.

Daring the past year 263 cases were brought to the notice of the S iciety. These cases concerned in all 430 children; 1 13 cases were from the police couit and 150 private. Fourteen children were made over to the S iciety as w.irds, 4 were committed to S. John's Industrial School, 4 to the Good Shepherds, i to Penetang, 75 to S. Nicholas Institute, and fines were imposed in 15 cases. The total receipts of the year were

■$772.93.

Tne law under which the S Dciety is actmg auth- orizes it to take possession of the neglected and dependent Citholic children of the city and place them ill a temporary refuge, and also require^s it to place them in foster homes as soon as possible. Tne Clergy and charitably disposed Catholics of the country can give the Society valuable assist- ance in the important work of providing good Citholic homes for the children committed to its

care. Applications for children for adoption, or for other information connected wiih the Society, may be made personally or by letter to the Agent of the Society, Mr. P. Hynes, St. Vincent's Hall, Shuter Street, who will give prompt attention.

Persons desirous of assisting this good work may become members of the Society by paying one dollar a year, and all subscriptions and dona- tions— no matter how small — will be thankfully received and acknowledged by the treasurer.

The Queen's Jubilee.

— The celebration of the complelion of the sixtieth year of the reign of Queen Mctoria was amongst the most important events of the year. The Catholic Arch- bishops and Bishops sent a loyal address to Her Majesty and special reference was made to the Queen's long reign in all the Catholic Churches of the Province. At S. Michael's Cathe- dral, Toronto, the " Domine salvam fac Reginam nos- tram victoriam," sung out in the grand old Latin to CJregorian music, with full choir and chorus, in S. Michael's on Sunday even- ing, told with impressive significance how her faith- ful Roman Catholic Cana- dian subjects honor their Queen. The Pope sent a splendid mosaic through Mgr. Sambucetti to Her Majesty, with an autograph letter enclosed in a gold casket and adorned with jewels.

The only ecclesiastic who took part in the Jubi- lee procession was Mgr. Sambucetti, the repre- sentative of the Holy Father. Accidental though the arrangement probably was, by that strange irony of circumstances which so often rules and over-rules temporal events, the Catholic Church was the only Church represented in the memorial Jubilee procession. The Anglican dignitaries were present officially at the ceremony in S. Paul's Cathedral ; the Greek Schismatics were there, represented by Archbishop Antonius ; the Nonconformists, by Dr. Berry, and others. The Catholic clergy, of course, could not attend that religious service, but the procession was an act in which all creeds could and did join, and it is note- worthy that the single official representative of religion was the Envoy of the Head of the Catho- lic Church.
