MINIATURE LIVES OF THE SAINTS.

sT. BERNARDINE OF SIENA.
In 1408, St. Vincent Ferrer once suddenly
terrapted his sermon to declare that
aere was among his hearers a young
raaelsean who would be one day a greater
=ebher than himself, and would be set
o-re him in honor by the Church. This un
sown friar was Bernardine. Of noble birth,
alid spent his youth in works.of mercy,
ad had then entered religion. Owing to
defective utterance, his success as a
iareher at first seemed doubtful, but by
Sprayers of oour Lady this obstacle was
ulously removed, and Bernardine
-an apostolate which lasted thirty
aerse. He raised his voice in turn
the civil strife, licentionusness, and
tions of his time, and by his burn
g words and by the power of the Holy
sae of Jesus, which he displayed on a
blat at the end of his sermons, obtained
iraealous conversions, and reformed the
water part of Italy. But this success had
be exalted by the Croes. The Saint was
nuounced as a heretic and his devotion as
lolatrous. After many trials he lived to
ae his innocence proved, and a lasting
emorial of his work established in the
bareh. The Feast of the Holy Name
immemorates at once his sufferings and
is triumph. He died on Ascension eve
144, while his brethren were chanting the
tphon "Father, I have manifested Thy
smeio men."2_
St. Bernardine, when a youth, undertook
charge of a holy old woman, a relation
his, who had been left destitute. She
a blind and bed-ridden, and during her
g illlness could only utter the Holy Name.

ST. FELIX OF CANTALICE.
St. Felix was born in 1513. His boyhood
nd youth were spent in keepitng cattle
id in the labors of the fields. In these
icupatione he was able to :cad a nearly
iitary life, and by continual prayer and
uonh penance reached a high degree of
intemplation. His greats at jy was to
[ait the Blessed Sucranment; and often

rthirty years, heating of the hives of the
esert Fathers, he longed to imitate them,

rayers and thanksgivings, and added
any austerities beyond the rule, walking
trefoot and wearing a shirt of iron links
added with spikes. He spent most of the
Ight in prayer, but took a little rest while
ae fathers recited Matins, saying Jeasus
as not then alone. For forty years he
lily collected alms in Rome, but his
collection was so unbroken that he often

rounds. St. Philip greatly loved Felix,
when the two Saints met they would

again without a word. It was by the
ice of St. Philip that St. Charles Bor

drawn up for his Oblate Fathers. Fe
expired, full of joy, in 1587.
Felix always greeted others with the
,"Deo gratias ;" he taught the chil
he met to repeat them, and when they
him they would joyously cry "Deo
ias." He was more generally known
rother Deo Gratias than by his own
e. He once perceived two gentlemen
aing a duel; he called to them from
"Deo gratias, my brotlers; say, both
you, Deo gratias !" In the heat of their
el they stopped short, and, making
holy brother arbitrate between them,
thed their Swords and became excel
tfriends. His last wish on his deathbed
that others should say "Deo gratias"

VEN. JOHN BAPTIST DE LA SALLE.
rem his earliest childhood John Baptist
ed to be a priest, but the loss of his
nts and family cares interrupted his
se at St. Sulpice, and he was twenty
a years of age before his ordination
place. He was appointed to a canonry
elms, his native town, and there God
Ired a pious layman to seek his aid in
ding a free school for boys. The Saint
ted himself eagerly to the work, and
the teachers under his own charge.
ools multiplied and demanded a constant
ply of teachers, whom John Baptist had
an; and for them he drew up a rule
life. Thus commenced the institute of
iMan Brothers for teaching the Faith
the ignorant. The schools multiplied
idly, and teacher and scholars led holy
Among the latter were young hard
criminals whom no earthly punish
ts nor fear of hell could move, but who
softened and won by the patience
sweetness of John Baptist. Yet the
t had powerful enemies. The Jansen
hated him for his devotion to the Holy
uad msed all means to ruin "the Roman
t." Through their influence he was
osed from his superiorship, deprived of
revenues, and a rebellion stirred up
ng his subjects. He left his cause in
andm of God, and after ten years'
t waiting found himself unanimously
general, and his institute firmly
lished. He died A. D. 1719.

B. CRISPItN OF VITERBIO.
Born in 1668 of humble but pious parents
rispin was nurtured in sentiments of ten
r devotion to the Mother of God, who
ve him many visible proofs of her pro
tion. during his childhood. Although
e bad reeived a liberal edueatlon, his
li mde m eart to beo a
admission as a lay brother amongst the
CapuchinP. He was at first repulsed on
account of his weak and sickly appearance;
but once received, he soon proved that a
hearty good will can more than compensate
for want of bodily strength. Frequently
employed to gather alms for his convent,
he would teach the Christian doctrine to
children in the streets, together with little
canticles he himself composed in Mary's
honor. For this reason he was commonly
called the "Apostle of Mary." Oil from
the lamp which he kept burning before his
simple image of Mary, or flowers from her
altar were so efficacious in sicknesses that
it was commonly said, "the oil and flowers
of Brother Crispin do more good than all
doctors' stuff" Consumed at length by
labors and suffering, he died in Rome at
the age of eighty-two. He rejected all
marks of respect on his death bed, but
repeated constantly, "In a few days my
lady mother will make me rich, and how
truly rich I"
Our Saint made in the convent garden a
little shrine of boughs in which he placed
his image of Mary. Some of the religious
said that the first rain or wind would
destroy it, but he replied, "What rain
what wind I The very mountains will be
thrown down rather than this little cover
ing of my Madonna, who commands the
winds and the storms and the whole heav
en." And so it was, for the storms came
and the trees of the forest were blown
down, but his little chapel stood as firm as
a rock in the midst of a raging se;t. Before
this shrine Criepin would say his prayers,
and round about it he strewed grainl to en
tice the birds to come and sing with him in
honor, as he said, of his beloved- Qeen. -

ST. MARY OF EGYPT.
At the tender age of twelve Mary left
her father's house that she might sin with
out restraint, and for seventeen years she
lived in shame at Alexandria. Then she
accompanied a pilgrirusge to Jerusa:em,
and entangled mnnay in grievous sin. She
was in that city on the Feast of the Exalta
tion of the Holy Cross, and went with the
crowd to the church that contained the
precious wood. The res: enttred and
adored ; but Mary was invisibly he!d back.
In that ins'ant her misery and pollution
burst upon her. Turning to the Immacu
late Mother, whose picture faced her in the
porch, she vowed thenceforth to do pen
ance if she might enter and stand like
Magdnalen beside the Cross. Then site
entre( d in. As she brelt before our Lady
tn leaving the church a voice came to her
which si.id, "Pass over Jordon and thou
sizaltilud ieC." Sihe went into the wilder
ness, and te2tre, in 420, forty-seven years
alter, the Abbot Zsimus met her. She
told hien that for seventeen years the old
songs and scenes haunted her; ever since,
she had had perfect peace. At her request
he brought her on Holy Thursday the
sacred Body of Christ. Slhe bade him
return agais sfier a year, and this time he
found her corpse upon the sand with an
inscription saying. "Bury here the body of
Mary the sinner." Sie had passed over
the Jordon of death into the rest which is
promised alike to the penitent and the pure
of the people of God.
He that loves danger, says the Holy
Spirit, shall perish in it. Oar Saint, after
her generous surrender of herself to God,
after forty-seven years' fasting and silence
in the wilderness, fled at the sight of
Zosiunes, though she knew he was a priest.
He could scarcely come to speak with her.
After he had heard her story, she only
spoke with him once again when he gave
her the last Communion. And we, who
like her have left our Father's house, with
our half-conversion and scanty penance, go
on risking that Father's favor because we
will not avoid some plain occasion of sin.

sr. GREGOtRY VII.
Gregory VII, by name Hildebrand, was
born in Tuscany about the year 1013. He
was educated in Rome. From thence he
went to France ani became a monk at
Clany. Afterwards he returned to Rome,
and for many years filled high trusts of the
Holy See. Three great evils then afflicted
the Church; simony, concubinage, and the
custom of receiving investiture from lay
hands. Against these three corruptions
Gregory never ceased to contend. As
Legate of Victor II he held a council at
Lyons, where simony was condemned. He
was elected Pope in 107:3, and at once call
ed upon the pastors of the Catholic world
to lay down their lives rather than betray
thie laws of God to the will of princes
Rome was in rebellion through the ambi
tion of the Cecci. Gregory excommunicated
them. They laid hands on him at Christ
mas during the midnight Mass, wounded
him, and cast him into prison. The fol
lowing day he was rescued by the people.
Next arose his conflict with Henry IV,
Emperor of Germany. This monarch, after
openly relapsing into simony, pretended to
depose the Pope. Gregory excommunicated
the emperor. His subjects turned against
him, and at last he sought absolution of
Gregory at Canossa. But he did not per
severe. HQ set up an antipope, and be
seiged Gregory in the Castle of St. Angelo.
The aged Pontiff was obliged to flee, and
died in exile A. D. 11185.
On May 25th 1(!85, about the seventy
second year of his life and the twe.th
year of his pontificate, Gregory eltered
into his reet. His last words were full of a
divine wisdon andl patience. As hlie was
dying he said, "I have loved justice and
hated iniquity, therefore I die in exile."
IIis faithful attendant answered, "Vicar of
Christ, an exile thou canet never be, for to
thee God has given the Gentiles for an
inheritance and the uttermost ends of the
earth for thy possession."
May 256.
ST. PIIILIP NERI.
Philip was one of the nobleline of Saints
raised up by God in the sixteenth century
to console and bless His Church. After a
childhood of angelic beauty, the Holy
Spirit drew him away from Florence, the
place of his birth, showed him the world
that he might freely renounce it, led him
to Rome, modelled him in mind and heart
aad will, and then, as by a second Pente
cost, came down in visible form and filled
his soul with light and peace and joy. He
would have gone to India, but God reserv
ed him for Rome. There he went on sim
ply from day to day, drawing souls to Je
seeus, exercising them in mortification and
charity, and binding them together by
cheerful devotions; thus, unconsciously to
himself, under the hands of Mary as be
said, the Oratory grew up, and all Rome
was pervaded and transformed by its spirit.
J-is £ was e atl nsn mlracle, Ms
habitual state an esetacy. He read toe
hearts if men, foretold their future, knew
their eternal destiny. His touch gave
health of body; his very look calmed souls
in trouble and drove away temptations.
He was gay, genial, and irresistably win
ning; neither insult nor wrong could dim
the brightness of his joy. A gentle jest
would convey his rebukes and veil his
miracles. The highest honors sought him
out, but he put them from him. He died
in his eightieth year, A D. 1595, and bears
the grand title of Apostle of Rome.
Philip lived in an atmosphere of sun
shine and gladness which brightened all
who came near him. "When 1 met him in
the street," says one, "he would pat my
cheek and say, 'Well, how is Dan Pole
grinol' and leave me so full of joy that I
could not tell which way I was going."
Others said that when he playfully pulled
their hair or their ears, their hearts would
bound with joy. Marsio Altieri f, It such
overflowing gladness in his presence that he
said Philip's room was a paradise on earth.
Fabrizio de Massimmi would go in sadness
or perplexity and stand at Plh;lip's door;
he said it was enough to see him, to be near
him. And lonig after his de-t'i it was
enough for many, when troubled, to go
into his room, to find their he-arts ishtened
and gladdened. He inspired a boundless
confidence aid love, and was rie common
refuge aid consoler of all.
WIFHAT SHALL 71rE DO if WIT1 TILE OFS ?
-THEIRi PELSELA AA D LCUL URE
In most households tt'e boys form, proba
bly, one of the most discordant elements.
It is not given to every one, women especi
ally, to know how to ulmal:goe them just so
that they shall be happy themselves and
dislagre-:ihro to no one eia. A healthy,
active boy has an a: tonishing faculty for
minchie;'; is noisy end obstreperous, with
a talb-t for kicking out shoes and wearing
out the kt:ees of his trousers which is sim
ply appatling to a mother, especially if she
is by ino meaus sure where the money for
the next supply is to come from. Yet these
boye are the men of the future, and on
their training depends the v eal or woe of
the nation. The coinug vter and law
maker is in the nuresry and school room of
to-day, and tl.e kssoni taught him there
will butely bear their firuit in years to
come. When the boys rush in like a
whirlwind, bringing in mud and noise,
clamoring for dinner and dashing down
hats and books anywhere, tired and head
achy mothers are too apt to hurry the meal
that the youngsterse maiy be off again to
play. In the country and in good weather
this niay be well eniough, though it does
not add much polsh to the manners of the
boys ; but in the city a boy on the pave
ment is not always sure to be in good conm
pany, and somebody ought at least to keep
a look out of the window for him. But in
too many homes the boys are regarded as
necessary nuisances, whom every one is
glad to have out of the house and so out
of the way. "Boys always have dirty
fingers ;" so sisters are in terror if the email
brother's hands come near her work or
books; mother is too busey patching knee
less trousers to have time to talk to him ;
beside 1.e is sure to wake the baby. Cook
will none of them in the kitchen, and boe
tween him and the nursery-maid there is a
deadly feud-she considering Master Tom
as her greatest trial and he insisting that
she pulls his hair and rubs his rose the
wrong way when his toilet is made. His
father, probably, sees very little of him if
he is a city boy, and if of the country very
likely he has his hands too full to give
much time to Tom. Perhaps he hlias a
propensity for asking questions (most
bright boys have), and his ceaseless
"Why 7" is a torment to his elders, who
snub him perpetually with, "Do stop ask
ing questions !" It may be that the boy is
fond of books, and will sit reading all day
long to the delight of his parents and the
quiet of the household. In that case who
directs his reading ? Do his father and
mother choose his books and talk with him
about what he reads I or do they take it
for granted that the merir act of reading
anything is imeritririous I We have already
pointed out the dangers of the dime novel
and other weekly story papers, and every
day souni journal hlfes up its voice against
them. Tom had better never known his
letters than use the knowledge to read such
stuff
STUDY TIIEIR CHARACTERS.
All this time the boy is growing nearer
manhood-nearer the time when he must
be the joy and stay of those belonging to
him or their grief and curse There can be
no middle coarse; if the twig is not pa
tiently and prayerfully kept straight Satan
will bend it to his own will, and the gnarled
and crooked tree will bring forth bitter
fruit. '-Even a child is known by his do
logs," and the reason why so many parents
are disappointed in their children is that
they take so little pains to discover their
natural bent, to become acquainted with
them, so to speak. Nature never repeats
itself. No two leaves are exactly alike,
and no two children are ever cast in the
same mould. Every mother knows that
her children are unlike; that different
motives prompt them; that punishment
atffects them differently. It is a common
esying tlht all children love play, but what
pla.s a Watch your own little ones with
their toys. One is haplpy with a box of
blocks, from wh:ichi he evolves castles and
bridges, tunnels arid towers, while another
with the same materil never gets beyond
a tall tower or a train of care. Another
takes a picture, and, sitting down, weaves
a wooderful romance about it, while his
brothers and sisters, very likely, cast the
same picture aside after a bhasty glance. A
wise mother will keep all these things in
her heart, and in the training of the child
the parents will have an eye to his partic
ular talents. Still it must be remembered
that few, very few, people are posseeed of
genius, and it is scarcely worth while to
spoil a good mechanic to make a poor
preacher or still poorer artist. Because
Captain Cook, when apprenticed to a dry
giida merchant, ran away to sea and be
came famous, is no reason that every dis
satisfied salesman should do the same and
meet with like good fortune. If Andre=
Johnson rose from a tailor's bench to be
President he studled hard for an education
first, and did not quit his goose until he
knew himself qualified for better things as
well as desirousne thereof. Turner, the great
painter, was meant for a barber, and tier
schel was educated as a musician. Sir
Joshua Reynolds used to declars that pa
tience and perseverance would make any
one a painter, and Butffon declared genius
to be patience intensi8fied. Others differ
with them and know that for as much a
tIrainlfg contls, It Is not all. No smoua
of labor wi.l ever taihion a Sevres vase
from common clay. But even common
clay Is susceptible of much diversity in
hantdling, aid crocks and jars are not ou
frequently spoiled in the making.
DON T NEOLKCT TlHE BOTS
When a child is burn that child is given
into the hands of the parents to be trained
for life and eternity. It can not be made
over and the material altered-the thing is
to do the best with that which is already
there. Many boys are eroiled by over
strictness--a bent bow relaxes readily; but
many more are ruined by too little care.
The father is striving to lay up riches for
his children ; the mother is a Martha cum
beretd with many household cares-
"Fo many little children maill.
To leera them all, to colthe them all "
To keep hands and faces clean and but
tons upon shoes, strains her energies to the
utmost. She does not often get time to talk
with them, and to play yith them-that
were an anomaly in the hounehlold. So the
children grow up on the outside of their
parents' lives, never dreaming of the father
love under tile stern exterior, or hew
mother lives for and in them. Looking at
them all at oi.ce and c..lnltilng them up, the
