At hie parents' desire he married, but es esped to a cell near the city as soon as the feast wasover. Entreaties were of no avail. He walled up the cell door, leaving only a Imall window through which he received his goed. There for fifty years he sang God's `*l u and implored mercy for himself and r ll men. The wealth which fell to him o'I his parents' death he gave to the poor. As many sought him for advice and conso 'ltice, the Bishop of E lessa, in spite of his hamility, ordained him priest. Boon after, brother died, leaving an only daughter, Ulax to the Saint's care. He placed her U 1dal near his own, and devoted him "ito training her in perfection. After twenty years of innocence she fell and fled in despair to a distant city, where she drowned the voice of conscience in sin. The Saint and his friend St. Ephrem pray ed earnestly for her during two years. Then be went disguised to seek the lost sheep, and had the joy of bringing her back to the desert a true penitent. She received the gift of miracles, and her countenance after death shone as the sun. St. Abrabam died five years before her, about A. D. 360. All Edessa came for his last blessing, and to secure his relics. St. Ephrem, an eye witness tells as of many sick who were healed by their touch. St. Abraham was sent, soon after his ordination, to an idolatrous city which had hitherto been deaf to every messenger. He, too, fared like the rest. He was in salted, beaten and three times banished, but he returned each time with fresh zeal. For three years he pleaded with God for those souls, and in the end prevailed Every citizen came to him for baptism. After providing for their spiritual needs, he went back to his cell more than ever convinced of the power of prayer. May 14 ST. BONIFACE, MARTYR. Aglais, aRoman lady of rank and wealth, and Boniface, her steward, led lives utf sin. One day Aglais was stricken with remorse, and calling Boniface, she said : "!You know that we have lived forgetful of the accou n t we mast render for our sins when we stand before God. But I have heard that who ever Ia devout to the Saints will have his part with them in the judgment." Then she bade him set out for the East, where the persecution of Diocletian was raging, and procure for her relics of the martyrs, hoping to place them in costly shrines, snd to obtain grace through their prayers. Boniface was filled with compunction and awe at the thought of the sacred bar den he was to bring. He implored the mercy of Christ, and throughout his whole journey he abstained from flesh and wine in honor of the Saints. At Tarsus he found himself in the thick of the persecution. He saw the confessors suspended head down wards in the fire, torn with hooks, stretched on the rack. He kissed their feet and begged their intercession, till these marks of reverence drew the eyes of the persecu tors upon him, and he was himself appre hnded, tortured and beheaded. His body was carried back to Aglais. She ri ceived it as a precious relic, and after thirteen years of penance died in the odor of sanc tity about the year 320. When the sxecutioner poured boilirg lead to the mouth of St. Boniface, he asked e other martyrs who were suffering tor at his side "to pray for him, their ser ..nt " rPhy "nai. an"wer - "May our Lord Jesus Christ grant thee to finish thy oqurse quickly. May be write thy name lth the firstborn." With his last breath e besought God to "give him rest in the hoir of the holy martyrs." Thus his con rsldn and his perseverance were the fruit his devotion to the Saints, and when he Wnt to be with them forever an angel appeared in vision to Aglais, and assured her that God would pardon all her sins through the intercession of the martyr Boniface. May 15. 88. PETER ANDI, DIONYSIA. In the Decian persecution the blood of e Christians flowed at Lampsacus, a city fAsia Minor. St. Peter was the first who as led before the proconsul and con emned to die for the name of Chtrist. oung though he was, he went joyfully to is torments. He was bound to a wheel by ron chains and his bones were broken, but e raised his eyes to heaven with a smiling oantenance and said, "I give Thee thanks, Lord Jesus Christ, because thou last ven me patience, and made me victorious over the tyrant." The proconsul saw how ittle suffering availed, and ordered the artyr to be beheaded. But a little later in the same city the virgin Dionysia showed a like eagerness to suffer. "O wretched man," she cried, when a Christian denied Christ under torture, "why have you feared a little suffering and chosen eternal pain instead T" She was seized and led away to horrible outrage, but her angel guardian appeared by her side and protected the spouse of Christ. Esaping from prison she still burned with the desire to be dissolved and to be with hrist. She threw herself upon the bodies f the martyrs, saying, "I would fain die ith you on earth, that I may live with ou in heaven." And Christ, who is the rown of virgins and the Strength of mar tr5 gave her the desire of her heart. SDt. Dionysia gained the crown which an postate lost, and his history may teach that those who lose Christ, rather than or with Him, lose all. With the strength t was left be cried out, "I never was a Christian. I sacrifice to the gods." There ore he was taken down and he offered saerflce. But he was possessed by the devil, whom he had bchosen for his master, He fell to the earth in a fit, bit out his tongue, and so expired. He escaped a little "pain,and instead he went to the endless torments of hell, and forfeited eternal rest. May 16. ST. JOHN NEPOHUCEN. St. John was born, in answer to prayer, a, D. 1330, of poor parente, at Nepomnc in Bohemia. In gratitnde they consecrated him to God; and his holy life as a priest led to his appointment as chaplain to the court of the Emperor Wenceslas, where he converted numbers by his preaching and example. Amongst those who sought his advie was the empress, who suffered much rem her bhabaad'a olfounded jealousy. e" sre~" sI ! '.wlth Joy; but her piety only incensed the em peror, and he tried to extort her confes sions from the Saint. He threw St. John into a dungeon, but gained nothing; then inviting him to his palace, he promised him riches if he would yield, and threatened death if he refused. The Saint was silent. He was racked and burnt with torches; but no words, save Jesus and Mary, fell from blh lips. At last set free, be spent his time in preaching, and preparing for the death he knew to be at hand. On Ascension eve, May 16, Wenceslss, after a final and fruitless attempt to move his con stancy, ordered him to be cast into the river, and that night the martyr's hands and feet were bound, and he was thrown from the bridge of Prague. As he died a heavenly light shining on the water dis covered the body, which was buried with the honors due to a Saint. A few years later Weoceslaa was deposed by his own subjects, and died an impenitent and mis erable death. In 1618 the Calvinist and Hnssite sol diers of the Protestant Elector Frederick tried repeatedly to demolish the shrine of St. John at Prague. Each attempt was miraculously frustrated ; and once the per sons engaged in the sacrilege, amongst whom was an Englishman, were killed on the spot. In 1620 the imperial troops re covered the town by a victory, which was ascribed to the Saint's intercession, as ho was seen on the eve of the battle, radiant with glory, guarding the cathedral. When his shrine was opened three hundred and thirty years after his decease, the flesh had disappeared, and one member alone re mained incorrupt, the tongue ; thus still, in silence, giving glory to God. May 17. ST. PASCHAL NATLON. From a child Paschal seems to have been marked out for the service of God; and amidst his daily labors he found time to instruct and evangelize the rude herdsmen who kept their flocks on the hills of Ara gon. At the age of twenty-four he entered the Franciscan Order, in which, however, he remained, from humility, a simple lay brother, and occupied himself, by prefer ence, with the roughest and. most servile tasks. lie was distinguished 'by an ardent love and devotion to the Blessed Sacra ment. He would spend hours on his knees before the tabernacle-often lie was raised from the ground in tl.e fervor of his prayer -and there, from the very and eternal Truth, he drew such stores of wisdom, that, unlettered as he was, he was counted by all a master in theology and spiritual sci ence. Shortly after his profession be was called to Paries on business connected with his Order. The journey was full of peril, owing to the hostility of the Huguenote, who were numerous at the time in the south of France; and on four separate oc casions Paschal was in imminent danger of death at the hands of the heretics. But it was not God's will that His servant should obtain the crown of martyrdom which, though judging himself all unworthy of it, he so earnestly desired, and he died in the odor of sanctity, May 15th, 1592. As Paschal was watching his sheep on the mountain side, he heard the consecra tion bell ring out from a church in the val ley below, where the villagers were asaem bled for Mass. The Saint fell on his knees, when suddenly there stood before him an angel of God, bearing in his hands the Sacred Host, and ciferieg it for his adora tion. Learn from this how pleasing to Jesus Christ are those who honor Him in this great mystery of His love; and how to them especially tLis prom;ee is fulfilled -"I will not leave you orphans ; I will come unto you." (John xiv. 18 ) May 18. ST. TIEODOTUS, MARTYR. Theodotus was an innkeeper at Ancyra in Asia Minor. He was a married man, but given to prayer and mortification, and on fire with zeal for souls. He led many sinners to penance, many Jews and heathens to the knowledge of Christ; and God set His seal upon his sanctity by mir acles, for his prayers healed the sick. In the persecution of Diocletian he confirmed the faith of the confessors by prayer ld good advice. He made even his occupa tion an outlet for his zeal. His ion was a place of shelter for the Christians; and lie furnished the bread and wine for the Hily Sacrifice, at a time when by a special edict of the emperor all that was sold in the markets was contaminated by heathen rites. It was this zeal for souls which won him the crown of mnityrdom. Seven Christian virgins had reen apprehended, and Theo. dotoes remained praying for them, till he got news of their v;-tory. Next night one of these virgin rartyrs appeared to him, told him how to recover her own body and those of her cCem ar:ione, and assured him that his own end was near. He did indeed recover the sacred relics ; brt in doing so be was betrayed by an apostate Christian. He died in the year :303, after awful tor ments, strengthened and confirmed by Jesus Christ, himself the zealous Lover of souls. God rewards our prayers for our brethren by inspiring them to pray for us in the hour of our need. Before Theodotus went to his trial God permitted him to spend a long time with his brethren, who prayed that he might finish his course with joy, and then parted from him with many tears. Their prayers strengthened him for the combat, and enabled him to labor even in the midst of his sufferings for the souls of others. He was torn with hooks and burnt with torches; vinegar was poured into his wounds. "See," he said, "how Christ can make a man of low condition victorious over princes." And pointing to his wounds, he told the people to "look at the sacrifice we most offer for Christ, who first suffered for us." May s19. SST. DUNSTAN, BISHOP. St. Dunetan was educated by the Irish monks of Glastonbury. He there acquired great learning, and also a cultivated taste for music, painting, and metal-work. After long hesitation between the world and the cloister a grievous eickness led him to choose the monk's cowl, which he received from his uncle St. Elphege. He now with drew to Glastonbury, whore he soon be came abbot. His bold condemnation of the public vices of King Edwy drew apon him the-royal anger, and he was forced to leave the counotry. Edgar, on succeeding to the throne, recalled him from exile, and in 960 nominated him to the see of Canterbury. At the cost of moch hatred and obloquy, but with the zealoons co operation of SS. Oswald and Ethelwold, hise brethren in the cloister, whom he promoted to the episco pate, Denstan raised the clergy of England from a state of ignorance and laxity. Nor was his seal confined to the sanctuary. He defended the poir and oppressed, watched over the court and the nobles, and as read ily cbastized his patron, King Edgar, as his enemy, the profligate Edwy. On As cension eve he sang Pontifical Mass for the last time, thrice preached to the people, and concluded by asking their prayers, as his hour was nigh. On the Saturday fol lowing he received the last Sacraments, and aster giving thanks breathed out his soul to God A. D. 988. A nobleman, whom Dunstan had excom municated for a grave public sin, came to him with an order from the king for his pardon. Dunstan replied: "When you are truly penitent I will gladly obey the king; so long as you are hardened in your sin, God forbid that any mortal man should induce me to violate the law of God and render void the censure of the Church." This unexpected rigor so affected the noble that he voluntarily repaired the scandal by a public and mortifying penance. AN ANECDOTR OF O'CONNELL Cathollo I:ev'ev. In Mrs. O'Counneli'es L;fe of Charle, Il ian coni" there- is a st'r3 of Daniel O'Connell whih "!onta e trait of that great Cat holic's c''arrot, r, which, ae have ctl testimony of Christ in oLe ot -li most t,eautif.il parables, is singularly pileding to G . We fiar that the god old coa -:n of giving thanks to God for favors re e. ived, is otne of the ,oat arts. Gratitude now-a dais i a beio dfined to be "a lively anticipation tif favors to oome." Yet even for th:ese there i. lit le real gratitude to heaven. The accomplished biographer, to open-hearted generosity, that once left him in galling, though only temporary diffiuoolties, sank deeply into my father's naturally warm heart. lie and two other gentlemen under took to set O'UonnelI's affairs straight for him. They saw that his income was large enough to meet the demands without sacrificiaP a single farm. My father cross-questioned O'Connell about the details of his property and about his liabilities to the bank, and, unlike most men in difiianlties, O'Connell concealed nothing, nor lets any secret untold. My father put his questions as deliaotely as he could, but be has slid that he neve: snffered more acutely than in seeing the Liberator wince and so plainly show his sorrow. He, however, made a bar gain, and a very wise one, too, in electing that he was not to be bothered about the matter until it was all settled. At length the happy day arrived. My f.ather called upon his friend and found him standing writing at his high desk. He did not at once begin to talk about the matter, but held the bank-book in his hands, and Cle could see O'Connell occasionally looking askance at the little vellum-bound volume pretty much as a child eyes its spelling-book. "Well, Liberator,' my father said, 'won't you take a look at your bank bookt' The question did not make a pleasant impression, and my father was obliged to open the book and point with his finger to the sum total, showing a fair balance to the credit of Daniel O'Connell, E q. My father said that he never would forget the expression that was then upon his friend's face. After a moment's bewilderment O'Connell lifted up his eyes to the big cruoifix that hung over his desk, took off his cap, and said, in a low and reverent tone, 'Thanks be to God !' Never was my father so much astonished as he was then at seeing O'Connell thus raise Lhi thoughts to heaven before he bad verified the accuracy of the figures. No man ever recognized more heartily than my father that, though he had toiled and planted, it was Gd wi:ho had given bhim, his good things; yet he must have worked out tLe ianor.nt for himself and se-n that it was correct, befre he could tbus reverentially express his gratitude."
