Wo saw, delied, despoired and hated her;

" ist - tied the man, for Hamuel'e eye was bold,
adihaustrong workinge of brute selfahness
Had moulded his broad feantrese and she feared
The bitternse of wounded-vanlty
That with a fiendish hue would overeast
His tat and lying smile. Nor vain her fear,
For Hamuel vowed revenge, and laid a plot
Agalnather virgin fame. Be spread abroad
Whispers that travel fut, and ill reports
That eoen obtain belief; bow Zllah's eye,
When in the temple heavenward it was raised,
Did swim with rapturous seal, but there were those
Who had beheld the enthusiaset' melting glance
With other feeliga flled:-tbat 'twas a task
Of easy sort to play the aaint by day
Seiore the publio eye, but that all eyes
Were closed at night ;-tht Ztllah'e life was foul,
Yea, forfeit to the law.
Shame-shame to man,
That he ahould trust so easily the tongue

Without the walls

Por it was there whore wretched criminals
Beceived their death I and there they fixed the stake,
And piled the fuel round, which should consume
The injured maid, abandoned, as it seemed,
By God and man. The assembled Dethlehomites
Beheld the scene, and when they saw the maid
Bound to the stake, with what calm holiness
She lifted up her patient looks to heaves,
They doubted of her guilt.-With other thoughts
Stood Hamael near the ple ; him savage joy
Led thitherward, but now within his heart
Unwonted feelings stirred, and the first pangs
Of wakening guilt, anticipant of hell !
The eye of Zillah as it glanced areund
Fell on the elanderer once and rested there
A moment; like a dagger did it pierce,
And struck into his esol a oureless wound.
Conaciencel then God within aus not in the henr
Of triumph does thou spare the guilty wretch,
Not in the hour of infamy and death
FNreake the virtuousn -They draw near the stake
They bring the torehl-hold, hold your erring bands I
Yet geaneh the risaing fames -they rise, they spread I
They reach the stfesing maid l O God, protect

They rose, they spread, they raged;
The breath of God went forth; the seconding fire
Beneath its inluence bent, and all its uames,
In one long lightning flash concentrating,
" Darted and blasted Hamuel-him alone l
Hark I what a fearful scream the multitude
Pour forth I-and yet more miracles I the stake
Branches and buds, and epreading its green leaves,
imbowere and canopies the lnnocent maid
Who there stands glorified; and roses, then
First seen on earth slnce Paradslae was lost,
Protusely blossom tound her, white and red,
In all their rich variet< of hbne;
And fragrance such as our first parents breathed
In Eden, she lubales, vouchsafed to her
A presage sure of Paradise regained.
Desperate Attempt on the Life of a Priest in Texas.
S Philadelphla Catholic Standard. ]
A friend sends as for publication a letter to
himself from Rev. Father Theo. Boffard, a Ca
tholio missionary for Clarksville and Texar
kana, Texas, and a most estimable and worthy
priest :
CLinxevvlLx, TEXAS, August 'i3, 1874.
Mr. --, Baltimore :
Dear Sir-You must be surprised at having
received no answer from me since so long.
got back from Texarkana a few days before
the Assumption.
On the Feast of the Assumption I had three
children to be baptized, and who made their
first Communion. But that day of Feast was
not to end without sorrow and clouds.
In the evening, a man who is not'sa Catholic,
but I thought to be a gentleman, came to my
house, where I was reading alone. Arrived on
the porch, be went into the hall, and though
he eaw me in my room, he went all the way
through the hall, very likely to see if there
were somebody in the yard. Then returning
on his steps, be came into my room. I thought
he was a friend. I had not seen him for ten
months, so I rose up and went to shake hands
with him. He refused positively to do so. I
was quite surprised; [ invited him then to sit
down, and myself eat down in a corner near
tbhe window. During that time he had pulled
of bis coat. Taking the chair I had prepared
for him, he brought it close to me, and sat so
near me that his knees were touching my
knees. Seeing a hammer on the floor, he pick
ed it up and pet it on the window, convenient
to his right hand, hinting by the expression of
his face and eyes, that he was going to use it
for my head. Then I got soared, hobut being
blockaded in a corner, there was no way of
eecanping, and there would have been no time.
Rest~lng his elbows on his knees, and his chin
on his hand, in such a way that his nose was
nearly touching mine, in a f',riOcs fit of pas
sion he commenced thue: "N ite I scant to kiroi
wees p have beees wrtling to the Bishop~ about nme."
n before I could give him a few words of
answer, he eanght me at the throat with his
left hand,and was choking me; with his right
hand he got bthe hammer, but I made it drop
frota hi hand. Then I rose up and balloed.
"If you halloo," said he. I will kill you ;" atidd
before speaking he had drawn from his pocket
apistol. I was hallooing more and more. For
tunastely, all the windows were open. "I have
come to kill you any way," said he, after awhile.
I had the presence of mind to recommend my
-sel to Almighty God. At the time he was
cooklng the pitol, I get hold of one end of it
with my left hand. The struggle lasted a
while In theroom. He wse always choking
me and trying to direct the pistol on me, but
to avoid be ng opposite to the pistolI was
twisting mself around him. Finally,as he was
novin hia fingers to be ready to shoot, I
tw'ue the pistol in his hband, and the pistol
beamemin- Ithrewit through the window.
S C aid then be had another pistol, and put

that if I weae not going away and asking the
Biahop to be removed right of, he wes goingto

what he pleased, that I was not afraid of his

The Venerable John Tudes.
InRACULOUs CURES.
A correspondent of the London Tablet
says:
The Venerable John Eades, the cause of
whose Beatification is now pebding at
Rome, is but little known as yet in this
country, except as the Founder of the Or
der of Our Lady of Charity and o? the
Good Shepherd, whose convents and re
fages have existed amongst us for the last
thirty years. I think, therefore, a short
account of two recent miracles may not be
uninteresting to your' readers.
Lucy Clairai has been twenty-eight years
inthe Refuge at Rennes. In 1862 she was
attacked with paralysis, and from- that
time could only move with crutches. In
1870 her tongueand throat became so much
affected that she could no longer take any
food, and for more than three years she
was kept alive by forcing a tube down her
throat and thus feeding her with incredi
ble pain. In November 1870, she became
deaf, and lost the use of speech, and last
" December blindness was added to this
complication of suffering. On the 30th of
January, 1874, whilst the cause of the
Venerable John Eudes was proceeding at
Rome, a Novena was begaun to the holy
Founder for this poor invalid ; she became
so much worse that she was administered
and her death momentarily expected, when
on the morning of the 5th of Febuary she
was suddenly cured, rose, dressed herself,
eat a large piece of bread, and it is need
less to add joined most fervently in the
thanksgivings offered by the Religious and
Penitents of the large community of our
Lady of Charity of Rennes.
This astonishing cure was followed by
another in the same Convent. Mary Augus
tin Chasse, Sister Touriere (or out-sister),
,, about two years ago, was judged, from her
excessive suffering, to have cancer in the
stomach, and was soon unable to take any
food except a little milk, and that with the
greatest difficulty. Loss of sleep and acute
pain had so reduced her that death was
considered as inevitable and at no great
distance. On the 2nd of March, 1874, the
Community commenced a Novena to their
Venerable Founder, John Endes, but the
poor sister, though she joined it by obe
dience, felt it was useless, and said she
did not think Pere Eudes would cure her.
She continued,to grow so much worse that
towards the endahe asked her Superioress's
leave notto make it. But the good Mother
desired her to continue it, assuring her she
would receive some grace, if not her cure.
On the 10th of March with great difficulty
Sister Mary Augustin dragged herself to
the chapel, for a sermon and Benediction
which were to commence a Novena for the
Feast of St. Joseph. Exhausted with fa
tigued she sat down for a moment outside
the choir and before some relics of Father
Endee, intending there to say the last
prayer of her Novena, when she found her
self instantaneously cured. She knelt dar
ing the Benediction, went up stairs, took
her supper, and the next day assisted in
the wash-house without feeling the amall
eat inconvenience.
Various other miracles also attest the
power of the Venerable John Eudes with
God. Amongst othersethe cure of a Peni
tent in the Convent of Our Lady of Charity
of the Good Shepherd at Arras.
THE ENOLISIr AGRICULTURAL LABORERS'
LEADERS.-In his notes in the Laborers'
Union Chronicle, Mr.-Henry Taylor, Gen
eral Secretary, says : "It is my izitention,
immediately on my return from Canada,
. to visit each district committee as early as
possible, especially those who require my
attention most. Those who are whole need
no physician. We shall have to go into it
Sagain after harvest, my boys. The farmers
threaten tolock-out again. I do not doubt
that they will annoy us all they can, and
if they do we must retaliate. Now the
union men have their redress in their. own,
hands. Let every man who is victimized
by the farmer by a lock-out at once, unless
he can drop into another job, throw himself
on the rates. Let there be no parley.
Make a desperate effort and show your
determination not to be defeated. I hate
pauperism and I hate crime, but I would
rather see our prisons and workhouses fill
ed to overflowing for a time than such
tyrants should get fat on the blood of the
industrious toilers as they have done in the
past. There is no temper in this; I speak
coolly and deliberately." Mr. Arch the
President of the Agricultural Laborers'
Union, has issued an address on the col
lapse of the Eastern Counties lock-out.
He enforces the importance of the union
becoming independent of external aid, and
reproaches the laborers for the reluctance
they show either to migrate or remigrate.
Henceforth, he sayse, let emigration be their
watchword. He declares that emigration
will be pushed until the landed gentry,
whether proprietors or farmers cry *"Hold, I
enonghl."
1N A BORROWED LIVERY.-A very funny i
story, aimed at those clergy of the High 1
Church persuasion who make their dress a
part of their religion, is told as follows in
a letter from London : "The other lday the
R,,man Catholic Bishop of NottinghIIRm,
being in London, walked in tile col of the r
evening in Kensington Gardens, inI cn. c
pany with a friend of his, an officer in thie
army. They met a priest-to all appear
aoces a Roman, priest-whto had a woman p
on his arm, who !ad her band in his, and L
who was making fast and furious love to
her. The face of thie Bishop fluashed red ;
he passed on; but heo instantly turned back, b
and overtaking the priest begged permis- q
sion to speak to him. 'May I ask, sir,' said
he, 'if you are a priest ' 'Yes.' was tihe
reply. 'A Catholic priest t' 'Yes,' 'Arl I
may I asked under the jurisdiction of what
Bishop are you?' 'Before I answer that ti
question,' said the priest, 'I should like to h
know to whom I am talking.' 'I am the
Bishop of Nottingham,' said his Lordship. d
'Bet we have no such bishop in the Eng- q
glish Church,' replied the priest.' 'Oh I'
exclaimed the Bishop, 'then you belong to
the Enlilb Church; I am dtl.~hted to

I The I.idies of the CrEb.
[Erom the Batimore Mirror.]
A German journal has recently' given in
round numbers the statistics of the monks
and nune scattered in the Cathollo convent
over the globe. To some of our pious sea
t taries they will be astounding. They will
a cry aloud with a wall like the widows of
Ashur, how many idle monthedevour the
produce of the hard-working children of
toll. Monks and nuns are all " lazy," all
"unproductive" I  their eyes. The asser
tion formed one of Victor Emmanuel's
reasons for despoiling the conventsof Italy
but the other, day, and the Protestant
sealots of Europe shouted out, "serve them
right," whenathey were turned out on the
f streets of Rome and Palermo and Milan,
without b;ead or a roof to shelter them.
Now, here are the figures in a rough
sketch made by the journal, to which we
refer: There are 319,000 religious in all,
of which 120,000 are monks and 190,000 are
nuns. The monastics are divided into
50,000 Franciscians, 50,000 Christian
Brothers, 8,000 Jesuits, 6,000 are monks
devoted to the care of the sick, 5,000 are
Benedictines, Dominicans number 4,000;
there are 4,000 Clatercians and Trappasts,
-2,000--Lazarists. 2,000 of the order of St.
Antony, 1,500 Redemptorista, 1,000 Thea
tines, Hermits 1,000. To these figures It is
necessary to add some thousands of Marists,
Oratorians, Salpiciaus, and others not here
enumerated.
The oue hundred and ninety thousand
nuns are divided into 162,000 in Europe, of
which 10,000 are in France alone. Indeed,
that estimate is below the reality. Little
f Belgium boasts of 10,000 more. Italy
bas 30,000, half of them wanderers now,
without a spot wherein to lay their heads.
Germany counts 8,000 as her number of
nuns, Spain 7,000, England, (our readers
will recollect that this is from a German
source where they count eogiaud and Ire
land as one), 4,000. Now, the truth is that
England has not five hundred born English
nuns, or nuns of purely English descent.
Switzerland numbers 1,340, Poland 1,000,
Hungary 2.000, America 20,000, Asia 4,000,
Africa 1,000, Australia 1,000. This is the
total in round numbers.
Now, of this great army of sanctity, this
splendid array of holy women, 22,000 are
Franciscllas, 20,000 are sisters of the
schools, 10,000 are Sisters of the Sacred
Heart, 8,000 are Sisters of St. Joseph, as
many more are Sisters ofthwVirgin, 7,000
are Sisters de Notre Dame, 7,000 are Ursn
lines, 6,000 are Sisters of the Holy Cross,
5,000 are Sisters of St. Charles Borromeo,
4,000 are Dominicans, 3,000 are Carmelites,
3.200 are Angustinians, 2,500 Sisters de la
Sagesse, 2,000 are Cistercians, and 46,000
others such as are Beguines, Poor Servants
of Christ, Sisters of the Holy Ghost, Sisters
of the Good Shepherd, Sisters of Mercy,
Sisters of Nazareth, and so on to the end of
the reckoning.
It is a very common thing amongst the
r foes of our faith to .tell us that these are
" drones" " useless months feeding on the
industry of society." British Ministers of
State made use of such an argument to
justify the invasion of the Pope's territo
ries. " The crowd of monastics injured
the progress of the people." Continental
infidels repeated the cry. Over the world
the sectary and scorner raise it with equal
fervor. Of course, they forget or ignore
the works that are done by the religious in
the Catholic Church. They forget the hos
pitals they tend, the schools where they
teach, the poor whom they support by their
charity, charities of their own giving, or of
their begging from others. They assail
them still, and will assail them always as
"lazy monks," "idle nuns," and they say
that these 310,000 useless months prey upon
the community. Aneloquent priest of the
Society of Jesus, in FranIce, lately answered
that. " Yes," It' said, " these useless
mouths open every instant to pray, or to
preach, to teach, to console the poor, the
sick, and the unitfrtrnate, to bless the sin
nor who irepents., and to open [[eaven to the
dying These are 3!0,000 mouths which
sever open to return to the world the im
pieties and the columns of scandals with
withich tht-pages of the press are so richly
furnished. These are 310,000 mounths
which open, not in the saloon, in the
tavern, nor at the corner of the street.
Whlat useless mouths for the newspaper or
the Police Gazette P" There is a good deal
worth memory in this lesson, and in this
contemplation of the ranks of the Soldiery
of the Cross.
THE NEW BISHOP OF SANDIIGRST, AUs
TRALIA.-A Dublin correspondent of one
of our exchanges says:
Some time since, at the erection of 'Mel
bourne into an archdiocese, Ballarat and
Sandhurst were formed into dioceses, and
Father O'Connor. P. P. of Rathfarnham,
near this city, and Dr. Fortune, of Allbhal
lows, Drumoondra, were appointed the
first Bishops. Dr. O'Connor was duly con
secrated, and a few days ago was presented
with a flattering token of the esteem in
which he is held by his late parishioners.
But Dr. Fortune was obiige'l to beeline the
responsibilities of Bish,op, and now it is
announced thataoother Irishmuan is selected
in his stead to fill the See of Sandhurst. I
allude to the Very Rev. Martin Crean, O. S.
A., late Prior of the Augustinia, Convent
in this city, and, if i am not mietaken, ex
Provincial of the Augustinians in Ireland.
If Dr. Crean carries with himn to his new
home the saine ideast clhurch-bildng as,
in conjunction with others of his order, he
has developed here, he will certainly create
a sensation. Tlhe new Augustinian Church
in this city is unquestionably the finest of
which Dublin can boast. It, is a poem in
