The laws affecting property in Ireland
having, in the reign of Queen Anne, been
so materk ly altered in favor of the deal
nant ftn,-ethe frleadly relations of
neighbors with neighbors were deplorably
implred. Difference of religious falth
alone would have prodaeed separation
enongb, t to this eleseast of discord was
_ddedl mutual distrust of no ordinary kind,
Every Protestant suspected his Catholic
kinsman of concealing' some property, or
of receiving the revenue of some aruS by
whie he, the Protestant, was defrauded of
his legal right. Every Jathlieo, on the
other band, htspeeted hiaProtestant neigh
bors of .bein.s pis, and of having covet
ous desns b.ll8 worldly goods. Inform
ers were active and well rewarded; and
society groased under that most dreadful
oftranieao.-systemised espionage. The
Irish use of Commons resolved aunai
mounsj ".that the persecuting and inform
ing against Papists wa an honorable ser
rice to the Government;" and it is hard
indeed for any Catholic to eseape molesta
tion, since whatever he did, or did not do,
was taken awry; his cause was prejudged; it
was certain that he was a idolater, almost
certain that he was plotting for the Preted&
der, and in the highe degree probable
that, If he bad any property, be had no
right to it I Every magistrate in those days
was an-inquto and persecutor cxo peio,
asd to be lenient or remiss towards the
gel lneifgoa, the hated race, was to for
feit his position and.to be signally dis
graced. How eePntiy persecution was
part of the English system of governing
Ireland, is shows by the faet of its some
times overriddil gthe,.personal bias and
opinions of the Veerqy, who represented
.the overeign. Thust4e Duke of Ormond,
who' w Lord Lieutenant in1703, and who
promised that he would recommend the
"Bill to prevent the further growth of Po

dence with the exiled' Jamesv was ready,
even then, to deliver up the country to his
"Popish" sway, and afterwards, when
GeorgeI came to the throne, lied from
Eglamd, joined the Pretender, and forfeit
edhis immense estates to the Crown ! If
the cause of James III had been erowned
with asuccess in 1714, the Duke of Ormond
might have have reappeared among the
Irish, not as a persecutor of Catholis, but
as a champion of their rights. But no
such happines was in store for that afflict
ed people, whose history, as one of their
own writers says, "can be traced through
the Statute Book like the track of a wound
ed man through the crowd--by the blood."
The Earl of Pembroke, who was Viceroy in
1706, spoke of them in Parliament as "do
measticenemies;" and "the common enemy"
was the established phrase by which they
were designated in both houses. The Dis
senters preferred submitting to the rigor
ous exclusion of the Test Act, rather than
weaken in any way the great Protestant
interest, and abate any of the pains and
penalties imposed on the "common ene
Wmhen the union between England and
Scotland was effeeted, in 1707, there was
littlesaid about extending such a measure
to Ireland. Some of the Irish Lords, how
ever, having beard that a good deal of bri
bery was going on north of the Tweed,
thought, naturally enough, that they also
might perhaps make something out of the
sale of their country. The Queen was ac
cordingly petitioned by their honorable
House to unite Ireland to England, as she
had graciously been pleased to unite Scot
land. But the Union which they solicited
was delayed for nearly a century; and
many of their great grandsons received,
through Lord Castlereagh, twenty times as
much as would have come through Lord
Somers, for the obsequionspart which they
took in thetransaction.
The religion of the native Irish continued
to be their chief, if not their only, solace
during the reign of Queen Anne ; and with
their religion were blended many-harmless
and hallowed festivities." One of these was
"Patron," or a patron fair, held on the fes
tival of the Saint to whom this or that par
ticular well was dedicated. In the county
of Meath, for example, there was a holy
well named the Well of St. John. Hither,
from time immemorial, multitudes has re
sorted to perform their vows and to obtain
reliet from their sufferinge and maladies
through the intercession of the saint.
Sometimes the pilgrims who sought "the
healing-well far over moor had moss,"
could trace the site of seven churches clues
tered around a saintly hermitage; and
while the more devont lingered b e the
granite cross erected by their fore athers,
the younger and less afflicted portion of
them visited their friends and relations,
and purchasedtoys and cakes in the little
fairs which were held in the immediate vi
cinity. But the government looked with
an evil eye on thes pious exercises and
innocent recreations. It quspected some
dark and treasonable plot'bf lying at the
bottom of every such assembly ; and it vis
ited on the people of Ireland the offences
of those in the south-west of Scotland,
who, in 1708, contrived a plan for inviting
the Chevalier of St. George to appear
among them in arms. Forty-one Catholic
gentlemen were arrested atonce, and con
veyed to Dublin Castle, without any charge
whatever being brought against them. A
fine of ten shillings, and in default of pay
ment, whipping, was made by law the pea
alty of going on any pilgrimage, or of
meeting at any holy well. A filne of twen
ty shillings, and imprisonment till it was
paid, wasinflicted on every one who should
ereet a booth, or sell ale, victuals, or com
modities, at such meetings; and the magis
trates were requirdd to turn iconoclasts
and to demolish all crosses, pictures and
inscriptions, set up in public for the en
couragememt of "Popish superstitions."
During the same year, 1708, it was enact
ed that no Papist should serve on a jury
unless when a sufficient anumber of Protes
tants could not be obtained for the purpose,
and that even when titus sitting on a jury
he might be challenged by the plaintitff or
prosecutor as being a Papist, and that the
challenge sliould be allowed, in all cases
where en tfrence had been committed, or
was suppouetd to hltve been committed, by
a Papist. \VWe emliploy, though not without
disguet, thie otu.nstve dictiom , of these stat

torn; for although we certalnly are Paupsils,
if that term means spiritual subjects of the
Pope, yet we know too well that the epi

tutors, ushers, or even assistants to.'ro
testant schoolmasters; and a reward of £50
was offered for the discovery of every per
son exeteaisig the funeions of a :bihop,
arohbishop or viear-general. Priest-hant
ing became a trade;, nay, sometimes even a
sport. £20 was the tempting bait for dis
covering a monk, friar or secular priest not
duly registered and '£10 was given as the
reward .fr informing against any Popish
schoolmaster or tutor. Thus the kind and
paternal Government of England made it
profitable to cultivate Protestant piety by
betraying and raininrg' inoleasive Catho
lics. Bloodhounds in human form dogged
the steps of venerable clergymen in various
disgauises, and lay in wait for them' when
is the darkness of the night, they ventured
to baptisi an infant, or to carry the viati
cam to the cabin of a dying Christian.' The
captured priests were sometimes brought
in by batchesof three, four or five, and the
laws of which we have spoken in a former
number were rigorously put in force. It is
important to bear this in mind, because
penal laws against (atholics have some
times through their very severity, had
been held In absyanee, and, sometimes, as
in the ease of the Elesastical Titles bill,
have not been carried into operation .at all.
For the first offence, the clergymen were
were transported, and the Bishop who
having once been transported, returned
again to Ireland was hanged.
The Earl of Wharton, under whom this
new act of oppression became law, was one
of the most profligate and odious Viceroys
that Ireland ever had. Dean Swift de
scribed him' as a Presbyterian in politics,
and an Atheist in religion-as one who
sunk his fortune in endeavoring so rain
one kingdom, and raised it by going far in
in the rain of another. " Though his ad
ministration of Ireland," he said, " was
looked upon as a ssaucient ground to
impeach him, at least for high crimes and
misdemeanors. yet he gained by the gov
ernment .of that kingdom, in two years,
£45,000, by the most favorable computa.
tion, half in the regular way, and half in
the prdential." But itwas notu account
of Lord Wharton's compliciy-itFTthe gov
ernment crime of persecuting Catholics
that Swift spoke of his Excellency in such
stinging' terms. He is called an Irish
patriot, and deserves to be so called, but in
a very limited and imperfect sense. He
vindicated the claim of the English colony
to rule the nation, but that was all. He
never dreamed of giving Catholics a voice
in the legislature; nor do his writings
contain one protest against the barbarous
treatment which they endured at the hands
of Protestant task-masters. Swift never,
indeed, spoke of himself as Irish, though
he was born in Dublin, but he gloried in
the name of Englishman; and even Dr.
Delany, his intimate frised, speaks of his
"Invincible patriotism, even to a country
which he did not love." Like others, who
were called -patriots, he exerted himself in
behalf of Ireland, without one particle of
sympathy for the sufferings and privations
of those whom, in a letter to Pope, he de
scrib~s as "the vulgar-the savage old
Irish." If he hated Lord Wharton, it was
because Wharton was a Dissenter and a
Whig.
The year 1709 was marked by another
ingenious measure adopted by the English
Government for the purpose of eradicating
Catholicism from the Irish soil. Protestant
Palatine families, to the number of 871,
were brought over from Germany, and' up
wards of £24,000 were applied to their
maintenance out of the revenue, in order
that being settled in Ireland as tenants and
laborers, they might displace the poorer
Catholics and constrain them at last to quit
the island. This object was effected to a
great extent; but in the opinion of Dean
Swift, and other writers of the Toryschool,
England did not gain much by the impor
tation. The Palatines, though naturalized
at the cost of one shilling, did not manifest
great loyalty towards their new Sovereign;
they neither enlisted in her Majesty's army
nor believed in her Majesty's ecclesiastical
supremacy. In short, they only swelled
the ranks of Dissenters; and this, in Dean
Swift's estimation, was very nearly as bad
as augmenting the number of Papists. " It
appeared," he said, "that the public was a
loser by every individual amongst them;
and that a kingdom can no more be richer
for such an importation, than a man can be
fatter by a wen." They wgl "a'ill'Wed,
however, to remain in the country, while
Catholics who happened to have emigrated
were, in the year before the Queen's death,
prohibited from planting their feet again
on their native shore.
So minute and vexatious were the details
of English laws against Catholics in this
reign, that in the same year, 1713, an order
was made in the House of Commons that
"the sergeant-at-arms should take into
custody all Papists that were or should pre
sume to come into the galleries." They
were thus deprived of the poor satisfaction
of hearing their religion misrepresented
and their characters maligned, in that As
sembly where they ought to have had
seats, where their rights ought to have been
defended, and theit privileges secured.
Death of a Miasionary.
Recently were celebrated, in the Church
of the Missions Etrangeres, the funeral ob
sequies of the Ven. M. Charrier, Mission
ary, Confessor of the Faith. M. Pierre
Charrier, born 1803, at St. Juste en Cheva
let, in the Diocese of Lyons, offered him
self for the Foreign Missions. on the 29th
October, 1831, being already a Priest. He
took his departure almost immediately, on
the4tth, March, 1832, for the glorious Mie
smon of Touquin, and in tihe following year
lie entered time Apostolic field. This tield

transferred to Hue, where he was reunited
to MM. Berneux and Galy his colleagues.
He endured the eangue, elains, the eage, +
and the examination, age., the rotie. M.
Galy, his companio in captivity, wrote s
"You may judge of the Armne e of rM.
Charrier by the avowal drawn from one of
his udges. He was requested tohave the
holy confessor beatens for the second time ;
'What good is 1tP replied the mandarin'-.
'yesterda I gave him eleven blows of theI
rotin, and be seemed to sleep.' The execa
ttoner strikes two blows, and the third falls
between the two first; -often this third
blow takes out the fleshb. That last one,
said M. Charrier himself to us, is bard
to bear." " * One instance more will
describe him. His eatechist having found
means of approaching him when be was,
transferred to:Hue, was charged by himn
with' this message for the Bishop, Mgr. Be
tord:
"Tell Monsignor that rI love my cangune
more than his mitre, and my chains than
his crozier. His cross is the only thing of
value which lie possesses, but I at this mo
meat have mahy more precious ones."
After having been seventeen months in
prison, constantly in expectation of death,
and by his constaney disappointing his ex
ecutioners, the French corvette, Heroine,
Commander Leveque, appeared in the
Chinese waters. M. Leveque, leasning that
there were at Hue five missionaries con
demned to death, energetically interfered,
and forced the governor to deliver up the
captived and conveyed them to Singapore.
They were, besides M. Charrier, M. Ber
neux, M. Galy, M. Duclos, and M. Miche.
M. Berneux subsequently became a
martyr. Having become-Viar-Apostolic
of the Cores, he was, in 1866, beheaded
for the faith. M. Galy died at his post In
Cochin-China in 1869. M. Duclos ended
his Apostolic life in 1847. the Captive of
Jesus Christ, in the selfsame prisons of
Hue, from which the hands of Frenchmen
had delivered him fire years before. M.
Miche is #.tthe present moment Vicar
Apostollb of French Cochin-China. His
great age, and the needs of the Mission
prevented him from attending the Coun
cil.
M. Charrier followed the example of his
companions. He returned. Having arrived
at Paris towards the end of 1843, he set
out again from Anvers for Tonquian in the
month of May, 1844. But his health, too
severely shakeni did not permit him to
continue in the work. Often be lamented
that he had missed the prize. He was com
manded to return to the Seminary as pro
curator of the' mission of Tonquin; he
obeyed. This was also a duty, and the
most imperative oneof his holy and august
profession. His external appearance. was
rough, his heart simple and affectionate.
He observed the silence which is usual
with men who bear within them a great
grief. During the reading of Ecclesiastical
history in the refectory, if there happened
to be any mention of persons who had es
caped martyrdom, when they had felt as
sured of it, M. Charrier's brethren not non
frequently observed him furtively brash
ing away a tear. He died on the 23d Jan
uary, after a long illness, which during the
last months of his life kept him confined
to his room. He submitted to this as toall
other trials, thanking God for having ad
ded the humiliation of uselessness to his
regret at having been judged unworthy of
martyrdom.- Univers.
A Sister of Mercy, of Nazareth house
Hammersmith, London, was charged re
cently with having driven a barrow on the
public footway. It was explained that the
vehicle under the defendant's care was a
perambulator, and that it was used for the
collection of food for the inmates of Naza
reth-house. The magistrate held that if a
perambulator was used for the conveyance
of goods, it came under the description of
an ordinary barrow. The Sister was fined
is. and 2s. coats. On this the Pall Mall
Ga.ette remarks as follows:
" We have at last punished some one for
farious driving, and what makes the affair
all the more satisfactory is that we have
been able to:inflict the punishment on an
offender who will probably feel it far more
severely than the joyous butcher whose
employer is ever ready to pay the penalty
incurred by his servant for such a trifling
offence as driving a light cart over a heavy
old man or woman who will not get out of
the way. A nun with' a perambulator will
do very well as an example; and at Ham
mersmithPolice-court on Tuesday Hannah
Devere, of Nazareth-house, Hammersmith,
who wore the dress 'of a Sister of Mercy,
was brought up on a warrant charged with
driving a barrow on the footway. The re
port does not state whether handcuffs weie
necessary as well as a warrant for this des
perate offender, bat the evidence left no
doubt that she had actually committed the
crime with which she was charged. A po
lice-sergeant swore that the defendant,
who was accompanied by another Sister of
Mercy, actually drove the barrow in the
Portobello-road, Notting-hill, 'causing per
,sons to go into the road.' lie told her it
was not allowed, but-she still continued
driving the barrow along the footway.
For the defence it was argued that it was
not a barrow but only a perambulator used
by the Sisters for the collection of food
from various parts of the Metropolis for
the poor In their house; and the police on
being questioned admitted that that bar
row or perambulator, whichever the dan
gerous vehicle was, really did contain two
cans. Of course this defence was useless;
justice, as we well know, is blind, and may
itself be tripped up any day on the pave
ment by a reckless Sister of Mercy, so the
wortlhy magistrate, alter pointing out that
footways were for the use of the public to
walk upon, fined Sister Hannah one shil
ling and two shillings costs-letting her off
cheaply as there had been's mistake in
the name.' Considering all the nuisances
we swallow in the streets, some of us would
not strain at a Sister of Mercy with a bar
row employed tor charitable purposes;
but it must be remembered that tlnese Sis
ters actually have the audacity not only to
feed the poor but also to nurse small-pox
patients, and take out ot our hands obther
good but disagreeable works we are all
panting to performr. A few penalties will
ipebaps briug them to their sensesa and
make them more like other people."d

Few of o es ae aware that a
Beeedlhelee Mission exists at New Murela,
aboat eighty miles to the north.of Perth,
Western Australia, which is dedicated to
the civilisation and religious instruction
of tlie aborigines. It was founded and is
still conducted by the Right Rev. Dr. 8al
rdeo, O. S. B. Bishop of Port Victoria,
Preteet-Apotoflicad Abbot of New Mur
cia, aUaw ,ursdiaktonas. The following
aecoant of the monks and their labors is
from a private letter: "His Excelleancy
and I started off on an expedition to a
monastery ituated about eighty miles
north of this most charming city. We
made the journey in truly bush-like fash
ion. The governor rode a. police horse,
and I rode a small horse, three years old,
which I purchased in Perth. Our after
noon's journey was only thirty miles,
which we easily got over. On the follow
ieg day, however, we had to travel fifty
flive miles, and be in before dark. To do
this we started'at four in the morning, and
rode fourteen miles by the light of the
moon. To cut the matter short, at four in
the afternoon we came to the brow of the
hill looking down upon the monastery. It
certainly was a very pretty sight, quite an
oasis in the wilderness. After traveling
for eigthy-five miles through wild, uncul
tivated forests, without a blade of grass or
anything that could give sustenanee to the
most sagacious kangaroo, it was very
pleasant to look down into the pretty little
valley and scattered village, with a stream
running through the midst, in the centre of
large corn-felds and grassy meadows, the
whole the result of the energy of the Span
ish monks who have founded the settle
ment. There arebetween eighty and ninety
monks and novices there at the present mo
mpnt, the priests instructing and attending
to the souls of the surrounding settlersand
natives,the novices and brothers working
in the fields, and conducting the busit
ness of the monastery and farms ad
joining. On our arrival the Fathers
came out, and, with the hospitality
usual to the Benedictines, testified their
pleasure at our visiting them, and Im
mediately offered as all they had in the
way of refresbment. Their hospitality was
unbounded, and the appearance of all these
swarthy Spaniards in their cowls was ex
ceedingly unlike what one should expect
to meet in an English Protestant colony.
The monks, notwithstanding their labori
ous duties oh the farm, get up at 3 in the
morning and chant matins, and in every
way conform to the rules of Benedictines.
Their object in coming out here and start
ing a settlement is to teach rqligion to the
natives, and civilize them itpossible. ,They
have been in many ways very successful,
but the race they have to deal with is so
wild, and so much attached to a savage
life, that for many years, I believe, these
attempts to instruct them were fruitless.
They give food and clothing to any native
who will come for them, and there are,
consequently, but few natives who have
not received some act of kindness from
them. They found for a long time that the
mere confinement, living in houses, killed
or produced illness among the blacks. The
Fathers have at length overcome many
difficulties and have succeeded in bringing
up many of the young natives to trades.
Although it has been believed that the na
tives are incapable of being taught any
thing not merely mechanical, there are
natives at the monastery who read and
write well, and work as bootmakers,
forgers, tailors, etc. The establishment is
greatly respected by the Protestants, who
admit that, however unsuecessful their ef
forts may have been in instructing the na
tives, the mwonks of New Marcia have done
wonders.
Ax AFrrcrimo ScsNE.-The New York
World, of Sunday, describes an affecting
scene that happened at Calvary Cemetery
on Thursday afternoon, the occasion being
the burial of the father and mother of four
little children residing in Henry street, in
that city. The weather was so inclement
that the friends who accompanied the re
mains decided to let the children remain in
the carriages, but their earnest pleadings,
with tearful eyes, to see their mother's
grave, could not be resisted, and their
wish was granted. Both cosffin were car
ried to the grave, and the youngest little
girl, who seemed to be unconscious of
what was transpiring, caressed the coffin of
the mother with childish simplicity, utter
ing the most endearing terms of "poor
mamma," " nice mamma," " will mamma
come home," etc. The older sister took the
little prattler by the band and brought her
to the other side of the grave. As the
grave-digger lowered the mother's cofin
to its finalo resting place, and threw .thbe
first shovel of clay, the children simulta
neously let one piercing cry which echoed
over the church-yard, bringing tears to the
eyes of all present. Many of the men, un
able to gaze on the sad scene, turned and
walked away. It was with difficulty
the children were persuaded to leave the
grave; and as they were about to depart,
the little ones, following the example of
the oldest, knelt down on the new-made
grave and offered up prayers to their Cre
ator for the spiritual welfare of the father
and mother whom death had deprived
them of in one day.
CATHOLIC CzREMONrES.-You accnse the
Catholio Church of deceiving the people
by the pomp and richness of her ceremon
ies. Why not accuse God BHimselfof im
posing upon the simplicity of the heart of
man, by the harmony and music of the
spheres, by the splendor ot the sun and the
soft beauty of the moon, by the loveliness
of beaven and earth, and all the splendor
of their glory I For they all sing onto
man, of Goda soug of praise which spirit
ualizes his lbeing and attunes him to the
harmony of the universe. The Church in
her ceremonial, only follows the laws of
the All-beautiful, who created all things in
comeliness and glory. The Spouse of
Christ in the celestial inspiration, which
love alone is capable of receiving, feels
that the Son of God did not wish to destroy
nature by grace, but rather to elevate and
spiritualize thevisible; by reuniting it with
the unseen, the higher world. Never did
Manichean blasphemy sully her fair soul.
God alone is creator, and His works are
good. Matter is goodt, the abuse of it only
is bad. Heuce, true to herdeep knowledg..
of the huomau heart, esho seeks to raise man
to God, by the very meanse which lowered
him to the brute. lie is ever smitten by
the beauties of nature, and the Ctsurch ac
ceplts the fact, and places those beauties in
her Temples and on her altars, that so she
may lead him to see in the beauty of na
ture only the imnage of Essential beauty
of God.--Oatholic Advocate.
