To combat these suggestions wai no cany tusk, for patriotism com bined Uh iiowerful voice with what teemed the pleading of filial and fra. ternal lovo. II It her to Uryan bad re fused to depart from tho ttrlct lino of defend! vu operatlonii, nor had bo been much urged to do no; but now It became evident that frouuent null leu would tako place, and not to volunteer a mil dlor't part inuat necessarily exjHHO i young and active man to unpleasant remark.

'IlcaM U It? Yourelf mny tell that, Mauler flryan, while the eye and tho cheek of ye ahow that your young heart' well-nigh broken.

' "It' nlco comfort you're giving him, lun't it?" anked Magrath, impatiently. Hhano hung hi bead, and Itrynn with aoothliig klndne aald, "It i 1 thatahould comfort blm, for bo apeak too truly of tho agonl.lng recollection bnmght to mind by tht event. You know not, Magrat b, what your undo' amotion for our rwo ba led him to enduro.

Then, with greater earnest nea, bo went on, "There he aat, alio that' an angel in heaven now, lifter going to church laat Kunday. 'And I'm thinking, Hhane,' ald the, 'that my poor Kllen won't go again to tho bouao of God, until they'll be carrying her there In a coffin.'

'Nay, but I'll read you an account of the place that I'm thinking to dwell In.' And then ahe ojasncd tho ould book and rend notne thing near tho end of it, about a city that hath no aun, nor moon, nor candle, butU always bright with tho glory of God.

'HlcNHcd, Indeed," remarked Haall "are thoao affliction which trim the lamp to make it burn moro brightly causing the light to ahlno broadly m- turn men, which cine had illumined but a contracted tphere," "Oh, sir!" said Kllen, "I will indeed uniy thatdiaeontented but. it teemed bard, when drst weentered thlt altered room; but tho Lord tenda other to hear and to pray In their place yet," tho added, ruining her voice with sol emn fervency "yet, Ho bath done all thing well, and HI will, lilt will alono la) done!" "Didn't the look llko an angel then?" whinnered Hhaiw) to Magrath in Irish, "Ay, and she'll bn ono before long." Magrath did tiot seem aware how widely be waa departing from his church's bounds In thut freely oouued Ing an entrance Into heaven to those whom alio atigmallzc a the progeny of hell. Taught from hit earliest years to regard a the natural claimant of hi most vindictive hatred all who bore tho l'rotestarit name, tho temporary impression in their favor which bis grandfather's narration bad made, wore away beneath tho rough collision of fiercer spirits; and gladly did he ac cept the pre-eminence which bis com parative learning acquired for him among evil men. Hardy, during, and acute, bo shrunk from no enterprise that wat placed before him, conscloua that bit wit and "cunning would be found available where the rougher liialltiet might not tultlcu, He had boon chosen to convey Intelligence to Lundy, and approached tho wall of Derry with feeling a hostile as ever beat in tho bosom of man counting It high privilege to accelerate tho ex termination of what he considered a nest of poisonous reptiles, Ilow far tho hospitable generosity of Hryan might have wrought upon hi preju diced feelings, without tlie aid of hi unexpected recognition of Hhane, may Ihj doubtful; but tho word It sure which says, "W hen a man s way please tno Lord, be maketh even hi enemies to be at peace with blm;" and many a M(mecuUd memls?r of tho church of Christ, in those day of discord and massacre, cxjierienccd Its fulfillment, Certain it is, that consanguinity was tho least powerful of all tho tlet which, after a llltlo space, bound Magrath to the bouse of the M'Allster. An Irish man Is generally too much the cteaturo of Impulse to Investigate very closely the origin of bit warm feelings; and when Magratb did incline to wonder at hit growing attachment to an heretical brood, bo referred it to the royalty of tho O'Neill, which demanded from him an allegiance spontaneously paid. Con science occasionally whispered that the Ijidy, having strayed from their fold, . i .i.i.i.i i . . waa under tho ban of the church, and, at such, an alien from the prerogatives of ber race; but Magrath turned a deaf ear to these admonitions banishing the thought by a happy faculty which ho bad of forgetting whatever he did not choose to remember, UaaU't Oral recital bad revived most unexpectedly tho very feeling best in t4t h bt i ij wt at i A 11 t.

To bo Continued. I'nlon of (ireek ami Koimiii Cliurelies, Observers of tho European situation can not havo failed to notice the evi dent longing of tho Uoinan pontiff for what ho deems hit spiritual but wan dering children, tho members of the Greek church. Whether or not this union It probable, it can do no harm to briefly consider its probable conse quences should it occur. It would In the first place make the pope of Home tho most powerful poten tate of tho world. Uniting his faithful subjects in other European countries with tho solid millions of the Czar' empire, what natural barrier could be found In Kuropo to restrain hit ambi tion. If he and the Czar could agrco in keeping separate temporal and spiritual jurisdiction, tho Kusslan emperor, with tho Increased influence ho would receive throughout Kuropo by reason of spiritual itbjtf,lito together wlttV hit subject to tho pope, would place li 1 in easily first as a political power in tho whole eastern world. The spiritual power of tho pope, united with the temporal Miwer of tho Czar, judging thing naturally, would constitute a power very dlllloult to resist and still moro difficult to overcome. Though the pope bat ot late muni fested strange lovo for republican in- stllutious, thl manifestation can not be regarded at reliable nor a made In good faith, to long at the dogma of temporal power remain at a part of hit spiritual faith; for tho union in one man of dictatorial, spiritual and tern poral sovereignty, it a condition about at far removed from republican liberty at anything that can la) imagined. The world, and especially tho people of the United' Ktiites, should not be foolish enough to trust the pupal professions of love for republican Institutions, while the pope continues to claim tho right to rule the world both spiritually and temporally, without It consent. Let the KintllT revise hi claim and pro fessions with a view to agreement and onslstoney, before he expects them to bn received by careful observers and logical thinker. In tho light of tho past history of Catholicism, at well at tho present strikingly inconsistent attitude and profession of the pope, wo do not be lieve that tho only object had In view in aecklng control of the Greek church, It the power to inaugurate a reign of universal poocb, The day of Catholic control In Kuropo are tho days of dark nest and bloodshed, of crime rampant, and murderttnlklng abroad, And why not? I Ud loved of personal responsibil ity by Implicit obedience to the pope, they naturally felt no apprehensions of the results of airsonal accountability; and hence tho tendency of human nature to all manner of evil, freed from tho wholesome check of personal ret jsinslblllty, produced tho legitimate fruits of roblsiry, licentiousness and murder, In considering whether such a union between the Human and Greek churches at tho poo contemplate can bo ef- ected, several things must be taken Into tho account: Tho Czar hold his supremacy over the millions of tho Greek church, his jHilltieal subjects, largely by reason of hit religious func- tlont at the hood of the Greek church. Can ho afford, viewing the matter from tho standpoint of political influence, to give up bit spiritual robes and spiritual authority and power? But should he finally consent to do so in view of hi Increased prestige in the Catholic countries of Europe by reason of obedi ence to tho holy see, will he not stipu late that the pope's control of hit suh- ects shall be only and alwavs of a ! !'!- A ) III.

This was what the Rev. Ur. H. H fowrle snld hint night In the Emory Methodist r,plooial ehui-eh, Jersey City. Since the futile attempt to in duee the Into New Jersey legislature to puss a hill to compel tho slate to con tribute a lilieral share of the money collected tor the state school fund Ui the supMirt of nnroohlnl school the minister and priests have been dls- turlsid. All denominations havo taken up the subject, n tho intention U to renew tho effort to obtain aid when the next legislature convenes. "The I toman Catholic War Against the Public Schools" was tho subject of the Itev. Dr. Lowrle't sermon. "I do not wish to say anything unkind or un fair against the membership or priest hood of the Itoiuun. Catholic church," ho said, "but its history hat very clearly Indicated it has been tho foe to liberty nnd good government. "Tho end sought by Roman Catho lics," continued Dr. Lowrle, "Is not so much a division of the school fund as It Is war upon the public Bchool system. Tho attack was not Inaugurated by Roman Catholic citizens of America. It was forced upon them against their will by the priesthood." "Tho burglar who tries to enter your bouse objects to light. Why? Uecauso It interfi ires with hit business. Why does ttio church of Rome object to our public schools? Is she nursing tho same work sho did during tho dark ages? Is she up to crime? Does tho Jesuit mean to manage tho politician und control the public moneys? I answer, yes, and but for tho search light of the public Birtiool system tMelr progress would bo more rapid." Tho Rev. John Finch, of tho First Haptlst church, Iloboken, Hunday night also preached to a largo congre gation on the public school question. The Roman parochial school, ho said, wat not a national school, and ho who would tear down tho Hag from tho public school housu of America would tear down the star and stripes from thecapltol building at Washington.

I presume he means Capt. Henry Wlrz, C. H. A., who commanded at Andersonvlllo prison. A Major Turner bad charge of Llbhy prison a long time previous to tho end of tho war. Tho sentence of Capt. Henry Wlrz was promulgated Monday, November (I, IH(l.r), and he was hung at 10:30 A.

Wlrz was a Prussian. At ono time previous to the war, Wlrz was an em ployo of tho shawl manufacturer de partment of the Washington Mills of Lawrence, Mast., having coma from Connecticut, From Lnwronee he went to Kentucky, and at the outbreak of tho war be was a physician on a Louisiana plantation, He soon went to Rich mond, and from a private confederate sold lor became an officer a member of tho military family of Gen. Wlndu, who had chargo of tho confederate prltons In Virginia. Wlrz at Andersonvlllo was In an other confederate military department, commanded by ' Major-Gen. Howell Cobb, who served through tho Mexican war, and was at ono time a cabinet oflloer secretary of tho treasury of In terior department.

A which means the American Protective Association. Tho object of this associ ation is to destroy tho power of Roman Ism in our government as much ai possible; to cut off the hand of Rome where it is found In tho public treasury, and to guard the public schools from tho malicious attacks of the Romish priesthood. Of course such an organl zation as this would bo most cordially hated by tho Roman Catholic politicians and Roman Catholic ecclesiastics. During tho recent elections in western cities the A. P. A. succeedod in defeat ing a great many Romish candidates for office. This has called out the most bitter denunciation of the order by the Romish press all over tho land. Roman Catholics have como to think thatmoHt of the people in tho gift of tho people belong to them, and it is a notorious fuet that in all of our larger cities, and many of our smaller ones, a majority of our officers are Romanists. There are too many of this class of people draw ing pay for doing political work. Any organization that can put an American Into office is doing a good service to tho nation. i Tfcsue how , the A. P. A.' is regarded by the RomunistB it is only necessary to read ono of their pupors. In a recent Issue of tho Catholic Citizen, published In Milwaukee, was an editor ial on "How to Treat tho A. P. A." Wo make the following extracts from the article to show tho spirit that animates our Romish fellow editors: The members of the A. P. A. should ba dealt with as wild beasts treated without mercy and followed with unro' lenting punishment. That may seem cruel, but In our opinion it Is the most cnaritaoie, ooeiuiso tho most effective, remeuy. Tho boycott Is tho right weapon of Isolation. At heart tho A. P. A. mom ber Is a coward. The very fact that ho goe Into a seorct society to Injure his Catholic neighbor proves this, lie is too mean to light openly, Now the right euro for tho coward Is the euro of terrorism. The only way to make any thing like a man out of a sneaking enemy It not to arguo with him, but to punish him, Jilt htm. Hit blm again. Keep on hilling hint. The Orange evil In Ireland will never bo thoroughly cured until the rest of Ireland rises up ami gives Uulfust a uruhblng that will ho remembered for a century. The A. P. A. evil In our midst must bo fought down with every weapon of political Industrial and social proscription that ine law toio nuos. A nd to far a Cutliol let are concerned, public opinion will respect them all tho more if they ovlncu a righteous stern ness In dealing with those sneaking enemies who would disfranchise them politically and degrade them to hewers of wood and drawers of water In tbo In dustrial world. Catholics should shun the shops of A. P, A. business men as they would shun a pest houso. They should not reeognizo an A. P. A. neighbor on tho street. They should decline to work with A. P, A. working- men, They should vote for no man over suspected of A. P. A. membership. A terrlhio earnestness in uealinir with this evil wherever it crops out Is a duty wo owe both to ourselves and our country. . You have only to touch tho politics or religion of a Roman Catholic to do servo In his eyes, tho worst punish ment that can bo inflicted upon men and women. Nevertheless, political and religious freedom will bo safer when Romanism is less active In tho affairs of our government. Jlonton lw rentlijator. The True Issue. Catholics havo only themselves to blumo for tho opposition which has leen raised against their election to office in this country, since it was only a few years ago when nobody thought of raising such a question. Catholics secretly took advantage of this situa tion and with a studied purpose secured the election and appointment of Ro manists to every possible position. School boards, city councils, city gov ernments, police and fire departments ba,ve been packed with the emissaries of Rome, and Catholic lobbyists have intruded themselves In organized force 11. tiiw !!' . i !..; V 1 -("'' .. ...

The analysis was nm.le by United Statot Atsay Joplin. He found in it Igneous rm k. iron and graphite; but alxut one fourth of Ihe iiinM ronslstod f a metal unknown to the professor, and as he believes, without duplicate on earth. It is of minute crystal, perfectly white, resembling snow In aps aranw; but its sX'cittc gravity is four times as great as that of gold. It is both malleable and ductile, but could not tie worked without great jxiwer, as it is exceed ingly tough. It is very sensitive to electricity. Whei a single wire con nected with an electric fan was applied to it tho strange stuff startled, was convulsed like some living thing and as suddenly became quiescent. The most interesting result of the analysis,' how ever, was furnished by the spectroscope. Its rays, when the metal was subjected to great heat, gave the same lines as those found in the spectrum of the sun, to the source of which the name helium has been given. No one knows what kind of metal helium is; the only thing known about it, is that it exists in the sun and that no metol on earth known to scientists gives the Btvme lines in the spectrum. It Beems probable that this crystallne substance is helium, and if so, the question arises whether the a'rolite from which it was obtained was cast off from the sun or from some planet or star of like composition. Of its celestial orlglnul there can be ' no question, since its elements are not of tho earth. The christian's character ought always to bear a like tost; if his love for his enemies, his kindness and forbearance and his general helpfulness were conspicuous, the world would Know that his religion Is a heavenly think. (John 17:1(1.) Christian Herald. Jesus of Nazareth! Tho following is said to have been obtained from an ancient manuscript sent by PubllusLentullus, President of Judea, to the senate of Rome: "There lives at this time in Judea, a man of singular character, whoso name is Jesus Christ. Tho barbarians esteem him as their prophet but his followers adore him as tho immediate offspring of tho Immortal God. He Is endowed with such unparalled virtue as to call back tho dead from their tombs, and to heal every kind of disease with a word or touch. Ills person Is tall and elegantly shaped; his aspect amiable and reverend; his hair flows in those beauteous shades which no united colors can match, falling in graceful curves below his ears, agreeably oottching on hit shoulders nnd parting on tho crown of his heud; his dress tho sect of tho Nuzarltcs; his forehead Is smooth and largo; bis cheeks without either spot savo that of a lovely red; his noso and mouth are formed with exquisite sym metry; his beard Is thick and suitable to the hair of his head, reaching a little below the chin and parting in the mid dle; his eyes clear, bright and serono, He rebukes with mildnuss and invokes with tho most tender and persuasive language, his whole address, whether In word or deed being dlvlno.
