Our lovo mul devotion rvinntn?l tin tame, tmieh against tho wlsltna of tho jjh l'i priests, who continually protested against, her keeping my company. At last, In 11, I decided to coma to Canada and provide a homo for my futuro wife, fcit our marriage i to talto placo In ahout eight months, and I had given tho usual presents and en gagement ring an evidence of faith. Hut alas! Although I noon crossed over to America, and am now an Amer icanized citl.on, 1 have often regretted the day I loft England, Isjoauso of tho dovlllsh, cowardly and cruel work of thoso London priest. What did taey do? Why, for six month they continually told tho i)or girl that, If sho married mo, "a 1'roteHtant," sho would he cursed and her soul would surely go to hell. I know nothing of these threat about her going to hell, until after tho six month torture, when that dear girl ald she had stood tho pain an long as she could, and confessed to me that the priests had told her she must glvo mo up i'or go to hell.' Sho muttt enter a convent, an that wait really her duty to God, Could she disobey her Cod? The poor, girl, In her frightened mind thought not, and sho took the veil. At Christmas, IHHU, I received my last, letter with confession of sincere lovo and true team, saying It wan her last letter on earth an oho wan about to enter a convent. Together with the letter camo a package, containing tho returned engagement ring (which I threw away) and also her kbt prenent on earth, a beautiful lik neck scarf, wLTch I still have, and wear, and which 1 prize vxy dearly. (sho admitted sho was compelled to break our engagement, because God called her to servo her llfo wholly to Hlra. Sho prayed I would beeorno a true and faithful Catholic, that I may meet her In heaven. Yes sir, that beautiful and truly ac complished girl entered a convent to sorvo tho dirty, dastardly, priests, In tho belief sho was serving God. I then entered tho choir of a Catholic church as tenor, with tho avowed pur poso of discovering Ihelr methods of Conducting their so-called religion, confession, etc. 1 can safely say, I know all I want to know, and to priest, however good, could make a Catholic ;iit of me, Of course, while In tho Catholic choir, I had to assume tho role of a Catholic myself, but all was dono for knowledgo of their ways. 1 arn not surprised now to soo why I lost su';h a charming and lovely girl in London. Yes, my llfo was changed. I became gambler and a heavy drinker, and never saved any money, neither did I keep company with girls very much after my experience Jtecently, however, tho Y, M. C. A. got hold of me, and brought me hack to my good habits once more. , I never seem to euro to pay a visit to Kngland now, as I would hate to face these dear ot where Joy once reigned iuprerno with myself and rny betrothed, J oman Catholics are a curse in this or any other country, hut Kngland would soon subdua any outbreak tho Catholics might mako towards Queen Victoria and her throne. I like to hear an Orango Order band play "Kick tha pope," and I believe from tbo bottom of my heart that tho pope and alibis followers ought tob kicked clean out of existence. Dear sir, this story is truo, and can bo proved by myelf. Should you desiro to publish this, you aro at liberty to do so, but I pre sumo you havo many such stories.

Why (hen should wo con Untie the elan dUtlnettitns? There I no nooromlty for them and there Is great danger that siteh. dlsllm'tlons will lead to dlnwntiloiif and d I word. We need not forget tho land of our hli th but we must remetnls-r that wo left, It voluntarily and east our lot among another jkmijiIc who havo ex tended to us tho right hand of fellow ship and made us their otjuitl In every respect. This being tho case wo can not do less than to conform to their customs and laws. That Is, become wholly American, Until wo drop these useless prefixes and aro known by tho ono name alone, wo aro In a measure aliens and not wholly trustworthy. Tho term Catholic Americans smack ing as It does of ecclesiastical domina tion lsrepugnunt to every right minded man, be he a citizen or not. As well might we havo Methodist Americans, Baptist Americans or Congregational Americans, as Cuthollc Americans; and why do wo not? Simply because all rt-liglous denominations except tho K'iman Catholic acknowledge the fact tlmtcivlllaw is superior to ecclesias tical There Is a wldo distinction be tween ecclesiastical law and God's lawt and we do not wish to be understood ms asserting that the finite is superior to or Is to bo preferred to tho Infinite, A we owe our exlsteuee to the Infinite and wo aro dependent upon lllm for all things it Is but proper and right that obedience to Ills law precede obedience to everything elo, Tho government of tho United Status recognizes this fact and while It Is purely oecular, it has made luw protecting every one in tho observance of his religious tenets, at thesiune time it has been deemed necessary for tbo good of all concerned that certain restrictions bo placed upon tho citizens, These restrictions are not at variance with the law of our Maker, though they may bo to those of the I (oman Catholic church. In deed wo need not say 'may bo' for we know that the pupacy Is diametrically opposed to many laws upon our statute look because tlioy Co not accord with the law laid down for the government of mankind by the pope and the various councils of tho papal church. This be ing the cftio the question resolves Itself Into this; Shall the laws of the land or tho law of the church bo first obeyed? If a man wished to be a good Catholic American ho will obey the law of his church first, that is, ho 1 a Catholic first and a citizen next, If he wished to be a good American Catholic the law of hi country take precedence to those of his church. If ho I a good American Catholic ho 1 a good Am erican and the necessity for the prefix Catholic cease to exist, We hope the day is not far distant when there will bo no Irish, German, English, Swocd or Catholic Americans, A likd Arn crUxm.

The Quarterly J tewird, of tho TrlnV tarlan Hi bio Society, contains an Inter esting letter from Urlttany, written by the Uev, G, Lecout, from which we take the following extract; "Tho other day a man came U the house with his family, He Is a wealthy proprietor, member of the civil and church council of bis parish, We showed him over our promises, He saw the children, went tothe little hospital. When, having wen everything, ho at down for a talk. He asked my wife; 'How i it, madarne, that the gospel is not understood in the same way? I havo a sister who has been a nun for thirty year. Sho has taken much property to the convent, and she Is con sidered a saint in her convent. She take care of the sick. If any one wants comfort sho is sent for, and gen erally succeeds, Not long since I had a long talk with my sister, She is not happy herself, This is a strange con ferslon she made to me 'i should never Induce another to come to the convent. I might have done as much good by staying at home a being In a convent,' I told her she would bo most welcome at home again, but she said, 'It Is too long since I left the world to return to It. What strikes mo most in my nurs ing ministry of thirty years, always with tho dying, is to try and give them comfort. I have two rooms, one where are the dying nuns, the other where the patients come from without; that means, pooplo belonging Ut the world. I have never yet seen a nun die In peace, they soom terrified when death is near, All th Jr work and merits seem to vanish, they have nothing to stand In the face of (h'ath, within all It terrors.

The case against Hlshop V, McNa- mara were transferred from Kansas City to the court of Liberty, Clay county, Mo., owing to the fact that the atternles for the defense, liurnham, Klllott and Cagy, claimed that the de fendant could not Jocolve justice in this county.
