MINIATURE LIVES OF THE SAINTS.
May S. .
ST. JOHN DAMASCENE. i
The fair city of Damascus had been
taken by the Saracens. They werelindul- I
gent to Christians, and our Saint's father, ,
a man of great wealth, was even the trust
ed VdIser of the Caliph. John was born A.
D. 690, and educated with great care by a
learned Greek monk, who had been breought
as a slave to Damascus, and who, when his
work was done, retired to the monastery of
St. Babas. On his father'adeath John sueno
seeded to his offise. He had now all that
the world could give him-wealth, honor, d
power, learning. It was probably at this
.jimoe that he wrote his three orations, of a
jugular strength and beauty, in defence of a
images, assailed by the Empefor Leo.
iloon felt the peril of his position, divi.
his vast riches amongst the poor, came
down from his high place, and went alone
and on foot to the Holy Places, and thence
to St. Sabas. His life thereafter is a record -
of humility, prayer, labor, and obedience; ;
and the cell is still sabown in which he lived I
and wrote. His great work On the Ortho- .
da Faith is the first attempt at dogmatic t
or scientific theology, and was a text-book t
and model to succeeding ages. His homi- .
lies show great fervor and tenderness, es
Pseoally when he speaks of the Blessed
Mother of God. His contemporaries named f
him "Chrysorroes," the Golden Stream,
and he is the last of the Greek Fatherspe
fore the fatal schism. He died A. D. 780.
The emperor revenged himself on St.
John by accusing him to the caliph of trea
son; and the enraged caliph ordered the
saint's right bhand to be struck off. In the
evening St. John knelt before a statue of
our Lady, and prayed thus : "O stainless
Mother of God, in defence of holy images I
have lost my hand; help me, heal me,
that I may still write of thy praises and
those of thy Divine Sen." Sleep came over
him, and he heard in vision our Lady sea:
"Thy hanul is wl.ol"; be it as thou hast
sald,as tle pen tfote who writethewiftly.'
He awoke; nia m and wrs rrescred ; only a
thin red line showed that it had been S -v
ered. The caliph recognized his innocence,
and restored him to his office.

ST. STANISLA8, BISHOP, MARTYR.
Stanislas was born in answer to prayer
when his parents were advanced in age.
Out of gratitude they educated him for the
Church, and from a holy priest ho became
in time Bishop of Cracow. Boleslas II. 1
was then King of Poland,-a prince of good
disposition, but spoilt by a long course of
victory and success. After many acts of
lust and cruelty he outraged the whole I
kingdom by carrying off the wife of one of
his nobles. Against this public scandal
the chaste and gentle bishop alone raised I
his voice. Having commended the matter
to God, he went down to the palace and
openly rebuked the king for his crime I
against God and his subjects, and threat
ened to excommunicate him if he persisted
in his sin. Boleslas in revenge made a
false charge against the bishop, but on its
being miraculously refuted he made a show
for a while of a better life. Soon, however,
he relapsed into the most scandalous ex
ceases, and the bishop, finding all remon
strance useless, pronounced the sentence
of excommunication. In defiance of the I
censure, on May 8, 1079, the king went
down to a chapel where the bishop himself
was saying Mass, and sent in three compa
nies of soldiers to despatch him at the
altar. Each in turn came out saying they
bad been scared by a light from heaven.
SThen the king rushed in and slew the Saint
at the altar with his own hand. -
To slander the Saint's character, Boleslas
suborned the nephews of one Paul, lately
dead, to swear that their uncle had
never been paid for land bought by the
bishop for the Church. The Saint stood
fearlessly before the king's tribunal, though
all his witnesses forsook him, and guaran
teed to bring the dead man to witness for
him within three days. On the third day,
after many prayers and tears, be raised
Paul to life, and led him in his grave
clothes before the king. Boleslas was only
hardened by the miracle; but Stanislas'
voice never faltered in its warnings till his
courage won for him his palm.

ST. BERNARD, FRIAR, PREACHER
This holy priest held in the thirteenth
century the office of sacristan in the Do
minican house at Santarem in Portugal,
and bhad under his charge two boys, sons
of poor parents, who daily served the
Masses of the fathers and received in re
turn from them such learning as they could
afford, by which they so profited that they
held it their greatest privilege to assist at
the altar, and stand in the immediate pres
ence of the Lamb of God. It was their
custom when Mass was over to take their
morning meal in a chapel near the church,
in which was an image of the Infant Jesus,
to whom they would offer a portion of their
food; and the Holy Child would come and
eat with them, teaching them the while the
hidden things of Divine Love. Which
when Bernard beard, he bade them pray to
Jesus thus : "Thou comest, O Lord, day by
day, to us; grant that we too, and our
Father Bernard, may sit as guests at Thy
table." Tbhen Jesus granted their prayer,
promising that they should keep the festi
val of Bis Ascension with Him. The day
came, asd tie boyJ as usuoal served Ber
nard's MIss. When it was ended the three
Sknelt for a moment before the altar; and
as they knelt a seeep came over them and
they passed from the house of God on earth
to His house in heaven.
The monks buried Bernard and the two
servers in one and the same grave; but so
sweet was the perfume that came from
their bodies that it rose through the earth,
proclaiming the holiness of these servants
of God. Such rewards are only for Saints;
but all who assist worthily at the sacred
mysteries obtain in this life purity of soul,
hidden intercourse with God, and in the
next a speedy entrance into the joys of the
blest.

ST. GREGORY NAZIANZEN.
Gregory was born of saintly parents,
and was the chosen friend of St. Basil.
They studied together at Athens, turned at
the same time from the fairest worldly
prospects, and for some years lived together
in seclusion, self discipline, and toil. Greg
ory was raised, almost by force, to the
priesthood; and was in time made Bishop
of Nssiansum by St. Basil, who bad become s
auseiibl uy Can a Vwu. Wu-e no was W
fifty years old he was chosen for his rare (
gifts and his conciliatory disposition, to be d
Patriarch of Constantinople, then distract. e
ed and laid waste by Arian and other her- P
stics. In that city he labored with won- I
derfol success. St. Jerome boasts that he h
had there sat at his feet, and calls him his a
master and his catechist in Holy Scripture A
But his lowliness, his austerities, the insig- J
nificanee of his person, and, above all, his C
very success, drew down on aim the hatred d
of the enemies of the Faith. He was per- e
secuted by the magistrates, stoned by the
rabble, and thwarted and deserted even by J
his brother- bishops. During the second I
General Council he resigned his see, hoping E
thus to restore peace to the tormented city, I
and retired to his native town where he t
died A. D. 390. He was a graceful poet, a E
preacher at once eloquent and solid, and as G
a champion of the Faith so well equipped, b
so strenuous, and so exact, that be is call- a
ed St. Gregory the Theologian. b
The Arians were so irritated at the decay a
of their heresy that they pursued the Saint a
with outrage, calumny and violence, and t
at length resolved to take away his life. t
For this purpose they chose a resolute t
young man, who readily undertook the a
sacrilegious commission. But God did r
not allow him to carry it out. He was
touched with remorse, and cast himself at 5
the Saint's feet, avowing his sinful intent.
St. Gregory at or ce forgave him, treated
him with all kindness, and received him I
amongst his friends, to the wonder and edi
fication of the whole city, and to the con
fusion of the heretics, whose crime- had
served only as a foil to the virtue of the
Saint.
May 10.
ST. ANTONINUS, BISHOP.
Antoninus, or little Antony, as he was
called from his small stature, was born at
Florence in 1389. After a childhood of
singular holiness, he begged to be admit
ted into the Dominican house at Fiesole; t
bat the Superior, to test his sincerity and
perseverence, told him he must first learn
by heart the book of the Decretals, con
taining several hundred pages. This ap
parently impossible task was accomplished
witt.in twelve months; and Antoninus re
ceived the coveted habit in his sixteenth
year. While still very young he filled 1
several important posts of his Order, and
was consulted on questions of difficulty by f
the most learned men of his day; being
known for his wonderful prudence as "the
Counsellor." He wrote several works on
theology and history, and sat as Papal
Theologian at the Council of Florence. In
1446 he was compelled to accept the arch
bishopric of that city; and in this dignity
earned for himself the title of "the Father
of the Poor," for all he had was at their
disposal. His household consisted of only
six persons; his palace contained no plate
or costly furniture, and was often nearly
destitute of the necessaries of life. His
one mule was frequently sold for the
relief of the poor, when it would be bought
back for him by some wealthy citizen. He
died embracing the crucifix, May 2nd,
1459, often repeating the words, "To serve
God is to reign."
St. Antoninus never refused an alms I
which was asked in the name of Ged.
When he had no money he gave his clothes,
shoes, or furniture. One day, being sent
by the Florentines to the Pope, as he ap
proached Rome a beggar came up to him
almost naked, and asked him for an alms
for Christ's sake. Outdoing St. Martin,
Antoninn gave him his whole cloak. When
he entered the city another was given him;
by whom he knew not.

ST. FRANCIS JEROME.
Francis Jerome was born in 1642 of re
spectable and pious parents in the king
dom of Naples, of the capital of which
kingdom he afterwards became the apostle.
His childhood and youth were remarkable
for innocence and virtues which presaged
his future sanctity. At the age of twelve
years be was admitted into a community
of missioners, and employed by them in
catechising. After having made his theo
logical studies in Naples and been ordained
priest, his whole life was so completely
moulded in conformity with the evangeli
cal counsels that he went by the name of
"the holy priest." At the age of twenty
eight he entered the Society of Jesus, and
after a most fervent novitiate became a
professed father and a pattern of religious
observance. From a desire of martyrdom,
he offered himself for the missions ib Japan,
but God had destined him for apostolic
labor in his native country. He was ap
pointed Prefect of the Missions in Naples,
where his zeal for God's glory and the
souls of men made him a model for mis
sioners. Weak in body, the labors and
sufferings he underwent in evangelizing
the prisoners, soldiers, galley-slaves, and
abandoned women in Naples, and in every
description of missionary work, can only
be attributed to a supernatural strength.
God repeatedly confirmed the preaching
of His servant by astounding miracles.
He died in the professed houso of the So
ciety in Naples in bis seventy-fourth year.
While St. Francis was preaching to aban
doned women in the streets of Naples, one
of their number insulted him from her
window and ridiculed his discourse. The
Saint warned her that within eight days
God would punish her, and on the eighth
Sday he invited his audience, who had as
sembled at the same place, to visit the
woman that had interrupted him. She
was found by them lying dead npon the
floor of her room. "Catharine," said the
Saint, addressing the dead body, "for the
greater glory of God and the edifcation of
those standing by, answer me, Where are
you 7" The departed soul returned for an
instant, and gave an answer distinctly
heard by all present-"In bell for eternity."

ST. CYRIL OF JERUSALEM.
We know nothing of Cyril's life until he
;was ordained priest by St. Maximus, who
I gave him the important charge of instruct
log and preparing the candidates for bap
a tism. This charge he held for several
a yeare, and we still have one series of his
instructions, given in the year 347 or 348.
They are of singular interest as being the
earliest record of the systematic teaching
of the Church on the Creed and Sacraments,
, and as having been given in the Church
. built by Constantine on Mount Calvary.
t They are solid, simple, profound; sato
y rated with Holy Scripture; exact, preeiee,
r and terse; and, as a witness and exposition
- of the Catholic Faith, invaluable. On the
e death of St. Maximus be was chosen
p Bishop of Jerusalem. At the beginning of
his episcopate a cross was seen in the air,
seauiu u areau sauuiu. n easry so sauuu. .j
Olivet, and so bright that it shone at noon
day. St. Cyril gave an account of it to the
emperor; and the faithful regarded it as a
presage of victory over the Arian heretics.
Like the other great bishops of his time
he was persecuted, and driven once and
again from his see ; but on the death of the
Arian Emperor Valens he returned to
Jerusalem. He was present at the second
General Council at Constantinople, and
died in peace A. D 386, after a troubled 1
episcopate of thirty five years.
While Cyril was bishop, the apostate
Julian resolved to falsify the words of our
Lord by rebuilding the temple at Jerusalem.
He employed the power and resources of a
Roman emperor; the Jews thronged en
thusiastically to him and gave munificently. 1
But Cyril was unmoved. The word of
God abides, he said : one stone shall not
be laid on another. When the attempt
was made, a heathen writer tells us that
horrible flames came forth from the earth,
rendering the place inaccessible to the
scorched and scared workmen. The at
tempt was made again and again, and
then abandoned in despair. Soon after,
the emperor perished miserably in a war
against the Persians and the Church had
rest.
SECRET NEGOTIATIONS PRECEDING
THE FRANCO-PRUSSIAN WAR.
PRUSSIA'S NARROW ESCAPE FROM" THE DAN
GER OF A TRIPLE ALLIANCE.
Prince Napoleon has written a book in
which he gives what be says is the true
history of the secret negotiations that im
mediately preceded the Franco Prussian
war. He says that as early as the summer
of 1869 intrigues were on foot at Paris for
the conclusion of an offensive and defensive
alliance between the Emperors of France
and Austria and the King of Italy. Its
object was to check the growing power of
Prussia and the North German Confedera
tion. Italy was willing to enter the com
pact, provided Rome was given up to her,
and Austria, strange to say, eagerly sec
onded her proposal. Napoleon, however,
feared the effect of such a surrender upon
his Ultramontane supporters, and refused
to withdraw the French troops. When the
nomination of Prince Charles of Hobhenzol
lern precipitated a crisis, the French saw
at once the necessity of coming to an un
derstanding with their halting friends, and
a treaty in three articles stipulating the
armed action of the three powers was sent
to Florence and Vienna. The government
of Victor Emmanuel professed their readi
ness to sign, provided a fourth proviso
were added granting their demands re
specting Rome. To this Napoleon puffed
up by the worthless assurances of Letcuf
and his carpet warriors, interposed his
veto. As late as the 20th of July, five days
after the declaration of war, the Austrian
Ambassador at Paris urged the same course
upon the Emperor, adding "that they
could never have Italy heartily with them
until they extracted the Roman thorn."
Although a Catholic power, Austria, it
seems, was willing to sacrifice the Pope to
berevenged on her recent conqueror. Na
poleon remained undecided. His old pro
crastination which threatened his success
during the coup d'etat, had got the better
of him, and he could not make up his mind
to the alternative of alienating the Ultra
montanes. Prince Napoleon pointed out
that in any event the treaty would be
favorable to France, and urged him to
sign before the fortunes of war declared
either for or against them. Still the Em
peror refused. It was only after the craush
ing defeat of Hagenau and Woerth that
his eyes were opened and be was brought
to signify his assent. Then, of course, it
was too late. Italy had no need to pur
chase what she could have for nothing, and
the French alliance was discarded as use
less. One of the most singular revelations
connected with the history of those tron
blous times is the fact that the Pope's
appeal to King William was at one period
thought to have been successful. Prince
Napoleon says that when the Italians occu
pied the city, the King and his advisers
were decidedly uneasy as to the attitude
of Prussia, who, it was thought, might not
wish to offend her South German and
Catholic allies by consenting to the seizure.
A COURAGEOUS ENGINEER.
SAVING THE LIFE OF A LITTLE GIRL WHILE
GOING FORTY MILES AN HOUR.
While the Erie lightning express train
was sweeping down the valley of the Del
aware a mile below Cochecton on Wednes
day afternoon the engineer saw a little girl
walking the track. He was just rounding
a curve. The locomotive shrieked, but
within two seconds the child was overtaken
and the train passed the spot where she had
stood. The engineerlooked behind the rear
car, expecting tosee her mangled body. But
the track was clear. He stepped upon the
guards of the locomotive, and saw the
child plastered against the cowcatcher.
She was senseless. He approached her
with great care, and succeeded in rescuing
her as she was about to roll to the ground.
The train was stopped and backed up to
I the residence of the girl's parents. They
were poor people living in a shanty on the
liloe of the road. The girl was about
Seleven years old. She was slightly cut
I about the face, buteecaped without further
- injury. The passengers were delayed ten
minutes. When they left the child was
Ssmiling in the lap of her mother.
