MAY 20, 1890.

Father Damien, the Young Belgian Priest. ‘Iu the midst of the Pacific Ocean—as a short half way house between China and Cal- ifornia—stands the Sandwich Islands. Un- happily for the amiuble and light-hearted in- habitants of those lovely islands, they were revealed to Europe by Captain Cook. Foul seamen and travellers took to those islands vices and diseases which they had never known until Europeans visited them. Since they were brought into contact with Europe their population has falien off from 40,000 to 44,000, and the inhabitants are actually threatened with extinction. In (1848, the awful plague of leprosy was added to their woes, This plague assumed such proportions that at last it became absolutely necessary to isolate the lepers—a most distressing neces- sity in any case, but peculiarly painful to such a social and light-hearted race as the in- habitants of the Sandwich Islands, At the north-western end of the group stands Mo-

as the leper settlement. The northern end of Molokai juts out into the Southern Sea, a grassy piain of 6,000 acres, separated from the rest ot the Isiand by a gigantic natural wail of rock, 3,000 feet high. This natural wall is covered with vegetation, It is a ‘cataract of creepers, broken with the foam of flowers.” But this lonely spot is deprived of its beauty by the fact that it is nevertheless a prison home. Here separated from friends, are found 800 lepers. The average life of these doomed beings does not exceed four years, aud about 150 of them die every year. '

‘‘ Father Damien, a young Belgian priest, fired with the love of Jesus Christ, resolved to live aud die in the service of this leper settle- ment. When he landed on the spot there was no doctor or any other official among them. He was the only healthy person. All alike were doomed to die ; and we cannot to some extent imagine the condition of this miserable settlement in the absence of all law, authority aud moral restraint, To use his own words, it was ‘‘a living graveyard.” In their miser- able grass huts the lepers were living pe l- mell, without distinction of age or sex, old or new cases, ail more or less stronger to one another. They passed their time in playing! cards, dancing, drinking and nameless de- bauchery. It was, in fact, a veritable hell on earth. The presence of this Christianlike man soon changed everything. An eye-witness testifies that ‘*his kindness, charity, sym- pathy and zeal had not long to wait before their influence was felt. Before he reached Molokai the leper settlement was squalid, hideous, al-' most heilish; now, it is a peaceful, law-abid- | ing community, presenting an attractive and, even on some sides cheerful appearance. The wretched grass huts, which had been the scene of nameless vice, were superseded by whitewashed wooden cottages, with pleasant verandahs and delightful gardens; pasture lands and fields gave signs of careful cultiva- tion; and in the midst of the people stood two churches and several schools. But with all this delighttul change, the sadness of the situation could scarcely be relieved. It is

TWO SONNETS. I,

Prince Edward Island, nestling of the sea,

My every dream of thee was one of good,

Since first upon thy summer shore I stood,

And looked in wonderment on wood and lea,

The sky and birds and flowers came back to me,

And I would not forget them if I cou!d;

Although not always in & merry mood

I see thee, or without sad memory,

Prince Edward’s Isle, favored art thou and blest;

Nature and Providence have decked the birds

O; the St. Lawrence more than ail the rest

Ii life indeed be long, the world be wide,

The days 1 spent with thee will still be best,

And fair and loved as thou art, none beside.

Il, If oft thy sons have left thee, lovely Isle, “‘Jis not for weariness or scorn of thee; Voices have called to them across the sea And bid them venture into such exile For larger scope and destiny the while; But trom home-love and longing never free, i to thee each hour, thy name the e Unlocks life’s best and brings to grief a smile.

Thou art the mother of such men that ali

The nations ask for them; thy noble brave

Lags not when men spring forth at honor’s call,

Thy axemen strong that know how fame is hewed;

I, an adopted son, call curses down

On son of thine that seeks not her renown

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.

Mr. Scott on Dr. Howard Crosby

Srr,—The remarks of Mr. John Scott upon the example of Chancellor Crosby, as one of unsullied integrity and Christian zea!, who at the same time is opposed to Prchibition methods, only form another sad illustration ‘‘of the rarity of Christian charity.” Dr. Crosby writes and uses his great influence to oppose the substitution of something else for what he conscien- tio.sly believes to be the Scriptural ‘*kind”’ in the sacramental cup. He holds that such a change would be a rationalistic impeach- meiit of the Founder of Christianity and of the Apostles. His views, for seltish pur- poses, are perverted by the Brewers’ Asso- ciatian ; and, straightway, Mr. Scott, and those of like mind, conclude that Dr Crosby is in unholy aliiance with the distillers ; and that for this *‘ some other reasun”’ he deserves to be hounded, Let Mr. Scott meditate upon 1 Cor., chap. xiii, But, apart from the uncharitable suspicion, does not Mr. Scott see in what a terrible way his words refiect back infinitely further than Dr. Crosby.

May 19, 1890.

“Against slander there is no defence. It | starts with a word, with a nod, with a shrug, | with a look, with a smile. It is pestilence | walking in darkness, spreading coniagion far ‘and wide, which the most weary traveller can- not avoid;@t is the heart-searching dagger of

lay brothers and three Franciscan sistars, who hastened in oifering themselves to fll his place, and show, as he had done, the sorrows and the death of the unfortunate, lepers of Molokai.

DIED. Frederick Gordon, only child of John T. | and Mary A. Hutchinson, died at their home | 229 Haskens St., Malden, Mass., on May 6th, | 1890, aged 2 years and 11 months, the cause | of death being congestion of the brain.

At Fairfield, Lot 46, on the 12th May, after, an illness of a few days, Mr. Geo, Campbell, ' son of the late Gregory Campbeil, and the only remaining son at home at the time of his death. Mr. Campbell was about 30 years of age. His remains were interred at St. Columba’s Chureh.

At Monticello, Lot 42, on the 10ch inst., after an illness of two years, Matilda MeUVor- mack, in her 87th year. Her remains were interred at St. Margaret’s on the 12ch inst.

The relatives and friends of Captain John! Gordon, second son of Peter Gordon, Kaq., Roseneath, Lot 52, were made sad by hearing of his death, which occurred in a New York hospital on May 2nd, after a short iliness, in, the 49th year of hisage. The greater part of | his life, from his sixteenth year, was spent on the ocean. He sailed to most oi the principal

rts. During the last six years he sailed for a New York firm, by whom he was very highly esieemed, After a short visit to the home of his childhood, he had returned to take charge iof his vessel, when death cut short his earthly ‘career. ‘Iruly, ‘* In the midst of life we are in death.” His remains, which were brought home by his brother Alfred, now rest beside
