FATHER DAMIEN. lbiep Aprit 10, 1889. Has t world lost love and faith; Is religion effete and dead ? Has the loving Christ of Nazareth No one in his steps to tread ? Are the saints who walk in white But myths of a bygone age ? Has chivalry nought of its deeds to write On this nineteenth century's page ? {n the struggle tor wealth and place In a world gone mad with greed, One man has looked on the Master’s face (nd learned and loved his creed. Where the Hawanan Islands lift hei: peaks in the golden light, And palm trees shadow ea h fertile rift Above the coast-line white With this beauty the poison of death is blent; Here men, through its ghastly leaven, Are herded like beasts in shambles pent, Deserted by earth and heaven. festers, hideous with loathsome taint, ihev darkea the tair, sweet scene; found in the wailing plaint s ery, ‘‘Unclean.’ vor sureeas Of the leper i No Christ like the Christ on Capernaum’s hill [o bring to the tortured soul ihe te ler answer of love: oe5 will, B lean—| have made thee whole ! One whose heart was filled with the loving Witte hat gladden’s the Master’s feast, ln its tender pity, almost divine, A brave young Belgian priest Went out from the sweetness of love and life lo this loathsome lepers de n, Where sin and sorrow in deadly strife M ide brutes ot iving men. Only the Cross on his valiant breast, [au its strength to sutfer and die Cine isles of Hawaii have told the rest On the scroll of Eternity; How his ceaseless pity fell like dew On the blackened soil of sin, And Christ, through His servant, in merey irew The we wry outcasts in. How the blinded eyes received their sight; Of the broken hearts made whole; He was the window through which the light Shone inte each darkened soul. He litted them up from the sin and shame Of life’s darkest and worst despair, Until God was no longer an idle name, Bat a Father revealed in prayer. Flint stones and thorns on his way of pain, Eyes blinded by homesick tears; fam he famine of heart and the fevered brain, Phrough an exile of sixteen years. Yet the chivalrous soul its devoir wrought For the men he had come to save, As day by day he was slowly brought lo a leper’s lonely grave. Lhe world looked on as this hero-soul Passed ont from beyond its ken— A martyr, attaining the well-earned goal A man who had died for men. And the coward soul shrank back in shame, Aud the faithless took heart of grace At the light on Father Damien's name Reflected from God's own grace. Une unseifish heart in this hard, gross age, One white-souled saint, whose faith Has touched with glory earth's sordid page, \nd hallowed both life and death. NM. J. kL Halifax, May, 1889.

Stretched out in street, it formed a column of irre- liar front and great depth. A consider- portion was of non-combatanta, such as the sick and wounded, the servants, women and prisoners; to whom might be ulded the Indians carrying the baggage and vamuaition, and laboriously dragging the yuns. Tne darkness and the rain beaten into he faces of the sufferers by the wind, made the keeping order impossible; at each step the between individuals and between the iivisions grew wider and wider. After cross- ing two or three of the bridges, a general con- egan to prevail; the officers, in dread failed to call out, and the sol- bending low to protect their faces, and .cir arms or their treasure, marched silence, indifferent to all but them- oon what was at first a fair column i ler, became an irregular procession; Here iwi of all the arms mixed; there a t of stragglers. intervals ‘ : f U in «a : ed ] 3 0 . simple thing, 1 know, yet nothing hasso mach to do with what we habitually sll our spirits as the condition in which we sre at the time Under an open sky, with the beeath of a glowing morning in our nostrils, we sing, laugh and are brave; but let the id hide the blue expanse and cover eur walk with shadow, and we shrink within ourselves; or worse, let the walk be in the night, through a strange place, with raia and cold added, and straight- way the fine thing we call courage merges it- seli inco @ sense of duty or sinks into humbler rn for comfort and safety. So, not a man in all the colamn—not af cavalier, not a but felt himself oppressed by the cir- cumstances of the situation ; those who, only that afternoon, had charged like lions along that very street now yielded to the indefinable effect, add were weak of heart even to timid- conce siaVe ity. The imagination took hold of most of them, especially of the humbler class, and, lining the way with terrors all its own, re- duced them to the state when panic rushes in to complete what fear begins. They started at the soughing of the wind ; drew to strike h other; cursed the rattle of their arms, the hoof-beats of the horses, the rumble of the carriage-wheels ; on the houses, vaguely de- tined against the sky, they saw sentinels ready to give the alarm, and down the intersecting streets heard the infidel legions rashing upon them; very frequently they stumbled over corpses yet cumbering the way after the day’s fight, and then they whispered the names of saints, and crossed themselves: the dead, always suggestive of death, were never so much so to them. And so, for many squares, across canals, past palaces and temples, they marched, and nothing to indicate an enemy ; the city seemed deserted. “Hist, Senor!” said Ducro, speaking with bated breath. ‘‘Hast thou not heard of the urmy of unbelievers that, in the night, while resting in their camp, were by a breath put to final sleep? Verily, the same good angel of the Lord hath been here also.” ‘‘Nay, compadre mio,” replied Cortes, bending in his saddle, ** 1 cannot so persuade myself. If the infidels meant to let us go, the going would uot be so peaceful. From some house-top we should have had their bar- vbarous tarewell—a stone, a lapce, an arrow, at By mary signs, for that matter, by the rain which, driven through the visor bars, is tinding its way down the doublet under my breastplate—by many signs I know we are iu the midst of astorm.

Farther on, but at no great distance, he came to the first canal. While there, waiting for the bridge to be brought forward, he heard from the lake to his right the peal long and loud of »# conch- shell. His heart, in battle steadfast as a rock, throbbed frster; and with raised shield and close-grived sword, he listened, as did all with him, while other shells took up and carried the blast back to the city, and far out over the lake. In the long array none failed to interpret the sound aright; all recognized a signal of attack, and halted, the slave by his prolong, the knight on his horse, each one as the moment found him. They said not a word, but listened; and as they heard the peal multiply countlessly in every direction —now the first lost in this close by, now far off —surprise, emotion, turned to dismay, Flight—dark- ness—storm—and now the infidels! ‘‘May God have mercy on us!” murmured the brave, ready to fight. ‘‘May God have making us!” echoed the timid, ready to merey On tly. The play of the wind upon the lake seemed somewhat neutralised by the density of the rain; still the waves splashed lustily against the grass-grown sides of the causeway; and while Sandoval was wondering if there were many, whe, in frail canoes, would venture upon the waste at such a time, another sound, heard, as it were, under that of the conche, yet too strong to be confounded with wind or surging water, challenged his attention; then he was assured ‘‘Now, gentlemen,” he said, ‘‘get ye ready; they are coming. Pass the word, and ride one to Magarino -speed to him, speed him here! His bridge laid now were worth a hundred lives!” (T'o be continued. ) ore A Wonderful Flesh Producer.
