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.

"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.

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.

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.

the faithful who visit in person the sacred places in Jerusalem. It Is indispensably required, how-
ever, to meditate, according to one's ability, on the Passion of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ,
and to go from one station to the other, so far as the number of persons engaged in the devotion,
and the confined space where the fourteen stations are erected, will admit.

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.

S. Bartholomew, Apostle, August 24th. " We have found the Messiah of whtim the prophets i^
wrote, Jesus of Nazareth," said Philip to Nathaniel, the future Apostle. " Can any good come out ^^
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.
I AMES E. Day.
QUEEN OF THE MAY.

Purple and gold the haze of the sunlight is sending
Glittering shafts through the odorous blossoms of May,
While in a pxan of joy to the wide gate of Heaven ascend-

Sing the birds to their beauteous Queen at her innocent

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

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

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

And cleft with thy brightness the blackness and gloom of

The freshness of spring, and the song of the summer's
awaking ;
The glory of noon, and the pearls of the newly-born day ;

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,"
31
©cvoureD bg THHolvcs
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
a5
B t>i!5it to S. liunc K}C .li3caiuiic
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.

IRISH CASTLES.
■" Sweet Norah, come here, and look into the fire ;
Maybe in its embers good luck we might see ;
But don't come too near, or your glances so
shining,
Will put it clean out, like the sunbeams,
machree I
" Just look ''wixt the sods, where so brightly
they're burning ;
There's a sweet little valley, with rivers and
trees —
And a house on the bank, quite as big as the
scju ire's —
Who knows but some day we'll have some-
thing like these?
" And now there's a coach and four galloping
horses,
A coachman to drive, and a footman behind ;
That betokens some day we will keep a fine
carriage.
And dash through the streets with the speed
of the wind."
As Dermott was speaking, the rain down th^
chimney
Soon quench'd the turf fire on the hollowed
hearth-stone ;
While mansion and carriage in smoke wreaths
evanished.
And left the poor dreamers dejected and lone.
Then Norah to Dermott these words softly whis-
pered—
" "Tis better to strive than to vainly desire ;
.Vnd our little hut on the roadside is better
Than palace, and servants, and coach — in the
fire ! ''
Tis years since poor Dermott his fortune was
dreaming,
Since Norah's sweet counsel effected its cure ;
For ever since then hath he toiled night and
morning.
And now his snug mansion looks down on the
Suir.

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 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.

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.

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.

library, one of the largest private libraries
in Toronto, which his extensive knowledge,

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-

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

deep humility and simple piety won for
him the respect and confidence of con-
freres and students, and of all who knew
him.

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
v. Rev. Dean W. R. Harr
Zbc .IGasilinns
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.

Wherever they have established them-

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-

\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.
Church of the Assumption, Owen .Sound.
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."
Frances Rolph Hayward.

DF 1 WERE WORTHY,
51S
(Written for the Catholic Almanac)
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
52
"5t 5 Merc lUoitbv?"
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.

Catholic Missionaries, Nuns and Teach-
ers in the Klondyke In spue ol the char-
acter o( lis new settlers, jeligion will not be
entirely ab-ent from the Klondyke gold .fields, as

Turkey and Oreece, which broke out in April,
was of shfjrt duration. The heroic outburst of the
Greeks promised much, but when brought to the
test, the brave little nation had to succumb to
overwhelmingly superior Turkish force. Only the
intervention of lhe(ireat Powers [irevented the
conquering armies of the Sultan fr(jm marching
on Athens. Negotiations for peace have been
most prolracied. At this writing the preliminary
treaty of peace has been signed. Turkey is to
evacuate Thessaly. Greece pays an indemnity of
four millions, remaining, until payment, under the
financial control of the Powers.

aiy of the landing of S. Augustine, have all been
cited as reasons for the notably increasing num-
ber of conversions in Englanil ; but the wise say
the prayers ofTered np at Paray-le-Monial, at the

viz , the conversion of England, are a sufficient
reason for the increasing number.

years ago he came to this parish of Hastings. He
was the only priest between Belleville and Peter-
