The letter conulncd another for poor Clarlaae; I put It with my other pajwra In an enehwure where I waa an re that it would not 1 dlaeoverod; after that we hastened to deaeend to tho choir to adore tho boat', but one can eaai'y Imagine in what dlapoattlon wo were. My friend 1'auline, who waa dally bo coming d. arer to me, took the flrat op portunlty after the aervlee to aay: "Slater Ang' llquo, It la aoluteiy lieeeaary that Clarlaae ahould have that lttr of her brotbr'a; it would li an alleviation of her aufToflrig, It would be awuet for br to think that there I at leaat one in tho world who baa not forgotten a poor rellgleuae," And abe wljied away a tear. Whither were her tbotighta tending? I'erbatia towarda a place defended by uie rati lion; but ahe recovered her firmneaa and aaid: "I have bad for a long time aomo alngular Id;na; they come to me Involuntarily and I am un able to rid myaelf of them."

I Baked, "My thought-, ao far aa that poor peraecutod girl la concerned," ahe re sponded, fixing a long look upon me, 'are not what you would like; they are cot the aame aa youri." "How do you know what I think about Clarlaae?" I aaked. "You know ,that I would love to console her, but" ( Sbo continued my phraae and aald: . "You think her guilty, and worthy Of being treated with aeverlty." "Do you not think ao any longer, Pauline?" aald I. "I have thought her ao," ahe re plied, "but etrange thought like In discreet gueata have entered into me and compel mo to give them my com- panionahlp. Furthermore, everything I ace or hear furnlahea food for tbem." "Truly," aald I to her, "you muat talk more simply if you wlah me to comprehend you."

Ho 1k It; poor Clarlaao ahall have her brother' letter." It waa not In my power to rvalat my ardent friend, and Pauline would allow nothing to hinder her In her dealre to give tho letter to Clarlaao, though many day niuat clanao before the propltloua moment ahould arrive, Hut one morning, after tho midnight aervlee, having observed that Madame had left open tho door which led to her apartment, abe came Into my cell, took th' letter and concealed It, aaylng to mo that In the morning abe would toll mo of her auceeaa or defeat. Bho auc ceeded; aho glided away Into the ob aeurlty to tho door where aho believed Clarlaae waa impiitonod, and aaaurlng horaolf, though tho enturprlao waa ha.nrdouH, that ahe wu not mlatnken, ahoallpiMsd tho letter under tho door and returned to her cell, 1 wa ablo only tu rejoice from tho bottom of my heart at her aueceaj though I really felt unhappy to deceive thua our aujierlor. All piaeo waa banlahed from my heart; 1 feared that every moment I ahould bo rtlaeovered, and tho confeaalon that I then con- aldored as a duty waa a net auread under my feet. Hut it wa impoaalblo to declare to Father Joachim what I had dono for Clarlaao, though 'I waa continually apprehonalve loat the tit im,i I ft.nf.i'i'. flu -i.'. I guarded In toy heart. At length, one day, when 1 wa ex tremely troubled In my heart a to the naeeaalty that 1 aaw of hiding from my confeaaor the affair of tho letter, I took up unintentionally the Theological Catechlam of tho Jeault, and I read with ploaaure in the chapter on con feaalon the following qneatlon and anawer: "Q. I confeaalon neccaaary to aal nation?" "A, Yei, If the aln are mortal; ai to venial aln one 1 not obliged to con ical them." "Deception," aid I to myaelf, "i not mortal aln; then it la not my duty to eonfon Itl Hut if I do not coofea it," aald I, "I will not receive abaolution for it and I ahall tie punlahed." 8o I reaaoned to myaelf, becoming each day more unhappy becauaa the contradictory yatcm upon which 1 leaned wa not able to give me peace. Though matter followed their or dinary routine In tho houae after Clar laae had received her letter by tho seal of Paulino, the iotereat that 1 bad ex- preaaed for thl poor alater, Joined to aome rumor of aevere treatment which had apread through tho houao, cauacd the auperiora to judge it neccaaary to tranqulllzo tho aplrlt of dlacotitent, be cauaa tho French were Incoming every where more violent and the tlmea lea aure. If'-nce, aftr dinner, at the hour when we were aaaembled aa tiaual In the larfc-e ball to give an aewmnt of onr readlnga, we wero aurprUed to find there tho confeaaor wltl the ablKsaa. I have not yet described Father Joaeh Im. lie wa a man of afmo yeara, little In atature, red-cheeked, brown- haired, and grey eye without a nark m, He wore a block cowl, and hla band wero extraordinarily pale and corpao-llke; but be knew hi bual nea, and the superior could not have dealred any ono more adapted to all the political arrangementa of the houae C We underatood at once, in seeing the confeaaor with Madame, that he was not there without some motive, and Pauline gave me a glance full of fear, We took our ordinary places; the ab- beaa.aald a few words, making allualon to that which had occurred at the mid night service when poor Clarlaae waa taken ill. She spoke to the novices with a gentleness and suavity that Im- preaaed me; she said that young and inexperienced as we were, It was very poaalble that we did not comprehend her manner of action toward ber well beloved and unbannv Clarlaae, that even after the sweet and resigned ex preaalon of tbU sister, we might be led to doubt tho influence of the aomon She said, that having conaulted the jtrVmnil ftliff tlit.H nrw!,i, 1, JJ j iHH-tin li 'I I tlitt !ttf Ki 4 t' j N t e b r ltiti tlii -t f ail Iha j fan.i) that ah anmi Ma -rf If ah' tHiinit.ai !j Mmikh thla pe.aif, ah will l U!i-r'l uir-I, H ah t ln-t t'liiiiire It.

A deathlike alienee reigned In tho hall; tho ablmas trembled vUlbly; tho father wa equally agitated, for hla eountonanoo became corpau-liko. Cla rlaao bad entered and advanced toward the table, doubtleaa forgetting the ordor which had b.n given her to ap proach tho abboHa; but aho wa com manded to atop in tho center of tho room. All at onco the priest showered her with holy water, Wowing vehemently agalnat bor, bo ordered the demon to depart, and exorcised him In tho name of the holy virgin, tho holy croa and all tho saints of Paradlao. Itwai natural that Clarlaae ahould tremble under the audden aapcrolon and the crios of tho horrible voice which resounded through tho hall, Doubt less they intended and hoped for thla roault, for they took good care tbet it ahould not puss unnoticed. The priest did not fall to indicate it a a .algn of tho terrible Influence of tho 'demon over tho unfortunate girl.

The abbesa expressed her assent, and descending from her dais, waa the first to aubm It to the test. Bhe waa followed by the alstera. When we had all passed, wo regarded with anxiety poor Clarlaae who remained standing lo the aame place, "My daughter," said the priest, "ad vance; you are Invited to turn from death to life; from the dominion of Hatan to that of Him whom you have first loved, your Spouse and Redeemer; to the society of your spiritual mother and your unhappy and afflicted slaters We invito you to tuM from death, from hell, and from despair, and to return to peace, Joy, and hope!" While he spoke our eyes were fixed upon the pale countenance of Clariase with an Interest that 1 cannot describe. The priest seemed to have exhausted bis rhetoric, and ho looked at the ab bcas as if be would ask her what he ought to do; but she remained silent, and a -convulsive movement agitated tho features of Annunciata. "Ought I to pronounce the anathema maranatha of the church.'" angrily cried the priest. ' ?t me. i rli'.t I aiUfii ' mv Iwi, lJ Imthri.

Perfect order pro vailed throughout the evening and frequent applause greeted the speaker. Many members of the Imlcjamdcnt Ordor of Good Templars were present, they having given up the use of their hall for tho evening that tho patriotic nddresa might lie given. Tho addreaa throughout waa thought ful and logical, and lntondod for thono who do their own thinking, and who are susceptible to conviction through argument. No Komanlat were Invited to attend tho meeting, Tho speaker quoted frequently from various members of tho Uoinan bier archy, tho canon luw and encyclical of tho pojm, and proved conclusively that a good Humanist ia a Humanist first, and an American citizen second. This he proved to bo true of Romanist should they believe only In therpfrftual liwer of the pope, leaving out of qut tlcin tho temporal. 1T3 referred to John Wealey as hav ing held the same views, and these I find ho baa expressed In the following convincing language; "With persecu tion I have nothing to do. Let there bo as boundless a freedom In religion aa any mun can conceive. Hut this doea not touch the point; I will set religion, true or false, utterly out of tho question. Bupposo the HlblO, If you ploao, to bo a fable, and the Koran to bj the word of God. I consider not whether the Romish religion bo true or faluc; I build nothing on the one or tho other supposition, Therefore, away with all your eommon-piaoa declamations about Intolerance and persecution in religion, Supjioae every word of Pope Pius's creed to lni true; auppoao the council of Trent to havj been infallablo; yet I in sist upon it, that no government, not Roman Catholic, ought to tolerate men of tho Roman Catholic persuasion, 1 prove thl by a plain argument; lot him anawer it who can. That no Ro man Catholic doei or can give aecurlty for bis allegiance or peaceable behavior I prove thus: It i a Roman Catholic maxim, established, not by private men, but by a council, that no faith is to be kept with heretic. Thl ha been openly avowed by the council of Constance; but It was never openly dis claimed. Whether private persons avow or disavow it, it is a fixed maxim of the Church of Rome. Hut a long as it is so, it is plain that the members of that church can give no reasonable security to any government of their allegiance or peaceable behavior. -refore, they ought not to bo toler ated by an7 i"";:rDra-:ni owsiani, j Mohammedan or Pagan. You way aay, Nay, but they will tako an oath of alio glance. True, five hundred oaths; but tho maxim, "no faith to bo kept with the heretics," sweep them all away a a spider' web. Bo that still, no gov ernors that are not Roman Catholics can have any security of their allegi ance, j Again, those who acknowledge the ijdrltual powtr of the pojie can givo no security of tholr allegiance to any gov ernment; but all Roman Catholic ac knowledge this; therefore they can give no security for tholr allegiance. Tho power of granting pardon tor all sins, past, present, and to come, la, and has been for many centuries, ono branch of hi uplritnal power, But those who acknowledge him . to have this Bplrl'.ual power, can give no aecur lty for tbelr allegiance, alnco they be lieve tho pope can pardon rebellion, high treason, 'and all other alns what soever. The power of dinpemlng with any promise, oath, or vow, is another branch of the njilrltuul power of tho pope, and all who acknowledge his spiritual power must acknowledge this, Hut whosoever acknowledge the dis pensing power of the pojHi can give no security of his allegiance to any gov ernment. Oaths and promises are none; they are light as air; a dispensa tion makes tbem all null and void. Nay, not only the popo, but even a priest has power to pardon sins. This Is an esaentlal doctrine of the church of Rome. But they that acknowledge this cannot posaibly give any security for their alleglanco to any government; oaths are no security at all; for the pi-lost can pardon both perjury and high treason. Betting, then, religion aside, It Is plain that upon principles of reason, no government ought to tolerate men who cannot give any security to that government for their allegiance and 'tm tan hut thl f fc hit. 1 f W fc "'' thai nil r, 3B B" W- J r..i "I X "V r -v-v 7 V am 'SEVEN SERMONS on ROMANISM" la a Ibaik thalrotitalna tho w hole argument agalnat Romanism, piwtpald for 25C, ' the Author, E.

But this no Ro manist can do, not only while he holds that no faith is to bo kept with heretics, but ao long as he acknowl- edges either priestly absolution or tho spiritual power of the popo. "But uothlng dangerous to English liberty is to be apprehended from them?" I am not so certain of that, Sometime since a Romish priest came to one I know, and after talking with her largely, broke out: "You are no heretic, you have tho experience of a real Christian." "And would you," sbo said, "burn mo alive?" Ho said. 'God forbid, unless it were for the good of the church." And what security could she havo had for her life, If it had depended on that man? The uood of ike chmch would have burst all the ties of truth, uatlce, and mercy; especially when seconded by the absolution of a priest, or, if need be, a papal pardon," The speaker at one time started to quote extracts from Den's theology, the work all priests study to learn tho questions they are to ask of girls and women in the confessional box. He had to limit his quotations from this work, however, as many Protestant women were In tho audience. At the close of the address an earnest plea was made for Americans to support for all offices, none but bona fide American citizen, whether they are Democrats. fcjmW leans or Populist.
