AUDIENCES.
Rome March 28.-The Holy FaIther, al
ways enjo'ing excellent health, continues
to give oflicial and other audiences. Two
very considerable on'es, besides thie daily
receptions of faunili, a nnd individnalp, have
taken place this week. On Sunday the
women of the parishesof S. IPeter, S. Spirito,
S. Martha, and 8. Maia, Transpoutina,
headed by their respective parisalh pi-isat
and the president of the "Circolo"or Guild
of S. Martha, to which they all belong, were
received in the Sala I)ucale. 500 pool
women of the labonring classes, including
small bshopkeepers in bye-street, all clean
and tidy, and many in thie picturesque cos
tume now so rapidly dying out, presented
themselves to ask for the Apostolic Ilene
diction for themselves and families pre
vious to an eight days' IRetreat as a ire
aration for their Easter Communion. This
Retreat is to be given by the l'assionist
Fathers in Holy Week. The Holy Father
addressed to them a short discourse, en
couraging them to presevere in the use of
the Sacraments, in patience under the dif
iculties of their condition, so much aggra
vated by existing circuonstances, the in
creased cost of all the cecesanries of life,
and other hardships, arnd terminating a
disconrso full of good sense, benevooence,
and afoetion, gave to themi and their ihue
bands and families tie Benediction they
s6dught for. On Tuesday thie inhabitants
of the large parish of Stir. Maria Maggiore
had an audieuce. 'They brought with them
as an offering to IisIHoliness a remarkably
fine copy of the Madonna venerated in
that Hasilica. The artist in Francis de Rho
den, the first pupil of Overbeck. An ad
dress was read by the parish priest in the
name of the assemrbled piarilioners, to
which tihe Holy Father graciously replied,
pointing out thie difference between the
period when faith inspired the erection
of that magnificent edifice andi the present
time, which is one, generally speaking, of
destruction. l uliarluded to the danger
f(hish indeed is manifest to all who go up
the Esquilinelhill) that the making "-' new
streets-not one of which will give ta tter
access to the church-may end in the eer
ions damage, and even partial destruction
of one of the most magniticent eldificees in
Rome, the deep cutting by the side of the
church having placed the foundations in
great peril. lie trusted, however, that the
sacred edifice might be preserved from the
danger that was so imminent, and that the
Holy Mother in whose honor the church ha
been originally built under such exttaor
dinary circumstances (thu snow in August,
hence the title, Sta. Maria ad Nives), would
continue to watch over it; whilst the work
that had no foundation but impiety, that
was accompanied by the blasphemies of the
low tolerated by the greet, by the exclu
sion of all that related to the spiritual and
by a seeking only after the material, must
in the end inevitably perish. HIis Holiness
concludled by giving to all present the us
ual brteedictioi.
One of the events of the past week has
been a ciurse of two lictuiiis by the cele
brated Father Secclhi, ii the great hall of
the Cancelleria. The ploceedts were to be
devoted to the poor boy-attizans of the
city, wiho have been collected togetrher un
der the auspices of tile Society for I'roiuiit
ing Good Wiorks. Notwithatanding the
high price of the tickets, lifteen francs, the
room was well tilled- Thile illustrious as
tronomer was greeted with great applause
as he entered, lie spoke in French, as
the language heat known to tihe audience,
and comrmenced by an apology for any
abort-comings in that iianguage, an aponlogy
which the French reporters say was totally
unnecessary, since he spoke with perfect
flsency and correctness. 'lTheo first lecture
was on Saturday last on tihe Sun. I can
not give you a detailed account of it as it
lasted nearly three hours. It embraced
all the recent discoveries which have nmade
Father Secchi's namne famous in all coun
tries, and was illustrated with a series of
the most beautiful experiments and illue
trations showing how, by means of the
spectroscope, tlhe presence of various min
erals was detected. The spots. the pro
toberances, the eruptions, were all dis
cnssed at some lenght and with singular
distinctness and perspicuity ; and the au
dience separated with unaiuinrous expres
sions of delight at the instruction they had
received. On Monday the Rev. Father
concluded hlis rewarks on the Sun, rand pro
ceeded to the planets, comets, nod tixed
suare. In examining these remote bodies
too the spectroscope and electric light play
ed as important part. The Rev. Faitlher
spoke of tlo stars that are applarently white
(but in reality blue), of those that are red,
and others that aire yellow, and shlowedt
that these rays depend muchl oU.the miin
crals contained in those distaint orbs. For
the greater part of tihe experimental illus
tratmons the room was darkened, rand tihe
objects represented projected imn a white
cloth. Towards the end of his lecture
Father Secchli spoke of the great aid, in
money and otherwise, andi the unceasin
encouragement ie hltd reiceived fromu tihe
Pope, whose intelligent interest in the pro
gress of science was only surpassed by his
zeal for the pronmotion c-f the glory of Uod;
andat the contirision the following words
wereseae in brilliant light rt tire end of
the room :

(To Pius IX., Supreme J'ontil;, shining as
a unn among the stars, mrany years !) Tins
elicited a universal and enthusiastic burst
of applause. Many who were present af
terwards went to thank Fasthier Secchi, arid
toexpress their great gratification for the
great treat he had affordted them ; while
those who undertook the charitable car,
of the boys in whose beialt ho gave Iris
lecture must ever feel indebted to his char
ity. And people talk of suppressing tire

'On Friday last, 2lst March, tire Feast of
St. Bsnedicet, Fatter Lnikbircini, at tIre

beineg the only refuges of learning in the
times when Geoseric. Totila, and others of
same stamp, ravaged Europe with their
- hordes of barbarians. )During this dis
course, in which, indeed, if there was a
fault, it was that it was somewhat of an
historical lecture as well as a sermon,
. about thirty rouglhs entered the church,
a some uttering a sort of low whistle, some
o thing between a whistle and-abish. Many
y present having a too lively recollection of
. the terrible scene in the Gesan on the 10th
e March 1l71, began to leave the church, es
Specially ladies having the charge of clil
' dren. The hissing continued; more ladies
rese and left, and at last the preacher some
d what abruptly closed his discourse. The
re gentlemen present went to the pulpit stairs
or to form an escoagfor the preacher on his
g way to the sa:crrsty, the clutch rapidly
a emptied, and so the matter endled. On the
, following Sunday there was again an at
d tempt to renew the whistling, but the cnu
gregation was too numerous and imposing
. for it to succeed. In the afternoon there
was again a little renewel of the whistling,
sand both then and in the morning some in
It solent-looking youths just outside lighted
, their cigars with some of the little hand
. bills whLI are so often given at church
f doors in hine to announce where sonme
. function or ceremony is to take place dur
Sing the week. These were said to be etu
dents of the new regime at what was the
College of the Sapienza, now the Royal
SUniversity, and where manners form no
part of the instruction, and religion has
been "suppressed." On the following day,
however, greatly to his surprise, Father
s Lombardini, the preacher, who is brother
Sof General Lombardini, aide-de-camp to
King Victor Emmanuel, was summoned to
the Questura on the charge of having
preaclhed agaionst "the sacred person of the
SKing," lie was not confronted with his
Saccusers, and had to uniergo an examina
Stion of cconsiderable lengtli as to what he
~ did say. his statement was, fortunately,
fully confirmed by a Guard of "Public
SSafety," who had been there in plain
clothes. So, all charges against him hav
t ing utterly and signally failed, he was
f "warned,' and set at liberty. The accus
Sere are known to be of the iRed Republican
Sand Communnnist party, who are rabid
Sagainst the clergy, and above all the Reli
Sgious Orders, as were their Parisian com
rades and chiefs. On Tuesday morning,
Sthe Feast of the Annunciation, there was
again an attenmpt to disturb the congrega
tion, the object being evidently in all tht se
cases to provoke a breach of tLe peace, and
so cause a general contusion greatly to the
p advantage of nminor "anoexationists" and
S"expropriators," while entirely serving the
I turn of the greater ones. There has been
Sfound also a chalk or plaster bomb in Gay
azzari's meeting-roli ; all is no doubt the
Swork of the same party, all intended to aid
the desire of the lowest and most violent
t of the Socialist party to get rid tfiret of the
SReligious Orders and theni to proceed to
other mneasies conducro t."Equality and
Fraternity."

"Home, Sweet, Home," a song that cat
never grow old, was composed by our grea
countryman, John Howard Payne, when
wandering a homeless, penniless strange;
in the modern Babylon. It was during
one of these nigta, when suffering from
hunger and impecuniosity, he liatlessly
walfed the Paris streets that, through the
undrawn curtains, he noticed tihe firee
glowing upon the hieartlis of the dwelling'
which hie lpassel, nod the families gathered
around their cih'eerful light, betokening the
happiness reigning within. Depressed witt
his unfortunatn condition, the emotion of
his heart found uttterance in the form ol
this sweet song, which he wrote next day
(Sunday), in an upper room of the Palail
Royal. It is ,sl to think that from the
bitter anguish of a heaven-born mind this
exquisite result should follow, and yet the
world's history is tilled with many more
examples of the paradox, "in agony joy is
born."- TI'alson's Art Jour.
Calling a boy up in the morning can
hardly be classed under the head uf "pas
times," especially if the boy is fond of ex
ercise the dlay before. And it is a little
sinagular that the next hardest thing to get
ting a boy out of bed is getting him into
it. There is rarely a mother who is a suec
cess at rousing a boy. All motherp know
this ; so do their boys. And yet the mother
seemus to go at it in the right way, she
opens the stair door and insinuatingly oh
s.'rve, "Johnny." 'hiere is no response.
"John-ny." Still no response. Then there
is a short, sharp "John," followed a mom
eat later by a prolonged and empihlatic
"John Henry." A grunt from the upper
regions signifies that an impression has
been made, and the motherls encouraged
toadd: "You'd better he getting down
here to your breakfast,-young man, before
I come up there an'. give you something
you'll feel." This so startles the young
man that hlie immediatey goes to sleep
again. And the operation has to be re
peated several times. A father knows no
thing about this trouble. He merely open
his mouth as a soda bottle ejects its cork,
-and the "John Henry" that cleaves the
air of that stairway goes into that boy like
electricity, and pierces the deepest reces
ses of his very nature. And hle pope out
of that bed and into his clothee and down
the stairs with a promptness that is com
mendable. It is rarely a boy allows him
self to disregard the paternal summons.
