EASTER.
BY BATIKKSE.
The Lord is risen !
Braak forth, exnltant earth, in singing
The joyful news, in anthems ringing
From mountain top, o’er ocean billow,
Thro’ forest aisle and whispering willow
That bends to kiss the churchyard pillow,
Where slumber “broken” is decreed—
For Christ the Lord is risen!
Itisen indeed!
The Lord is risen!
The grave hath given np its sleeper!
Nor .sealing rock, nor Itoman keeper,
Can close again the bursted portal.
When Life proclaims itself immortal ?
Pale, watching Mary, lonely weeper,
No more thy love with sorrow food !
For Christ the Lord is risen!
Risen Indeed I
The Lord is risen!
Pour out, lair ilower, your fragrance sweetest,
Rise up, bright bird, on wing the fleetest,
And sing to Heaven’s four winds the story,
Til! earth be tilled with praise and glory!
Time now distils, from pinions hoary,
A cordial for all haarts that bleed i
For Christ the Lord is risen!
Risen indeed 1
The Lord is risen I
Oh ! powers of darkness in high places.
Who lean your evil, watchful faces
O'er man’s sad race with thoughts vain-glorious,
Shrink back! there sounds a step victorious,
Whose way no Calvary retraces!
Divine it conies, from bondage freed,
Captivity to captivity lead !
For Christ the Lord is risen!
Risen indeed 1
The Lord is risen!
To break our earthly sin-forged fetters !
To write in ever-shining letters
On marble stained with years of weeping.
Tliis truth—(our hearts its witness keeping,
With awful joy and pulses leaping)—
Angelic words of mortal creed—
Lo! Chuist thk L#rd is iusenl
Risen indeed!

CATHOLIC INTELLIGENCE.
DOMESTIC.
Holy Week in Augusta. —The ser
vices of Holy Week in the Catholic
Church in this city, this year, were of a
peculiarly grand and impressive charac
ter. The office of the Tenebrce com
menced at 7 o’clock Wednesday evening,
and waschaunted by Rev. Fathers Kirby,
Ryan, O’Hara, and Paquet, assisted by
the choir. On Holy Thursday the Re
pository was arranged on the small altar
at the eastern end of the Church, and
was gorgeously decorated with long lace
curtains, tastefully draped from the ceil
ing of the Church, while in the rear of
and around the tabernacle a number of
colored lamps were displayed, in addition
to (he candles, usually placed there.
The services were grand and imposing,
and the sermon by Father Ryan was
listened to with earnest attention by a
very large congregation. The proces
sions of the Blessed .Sacrament on Holy
Thursday and Good Friday, were attended
by the Societies of the Sunday School.
On T 1 mrsday the Blessed Sacrament was
guarded by the Sunday School Societies
during the day, and by the St. Vincent
do Raul Society during the night. On
Good Friday the Church was again well
filled by the faithful who attended
the adoration of the Cross, and by
several strangers. The ceremonies of
tins day were, as usual, solemn and im
pressive, while the sermon of Father
Ryan was one of his best and most effec
tive efforts. On Holy Saturday the ser
vices of Lent were closed by the usual
exercises. On this day two converts
were baptised and received into the
Church.
On Easter Sunday, the altars were
handsomely and tastefully decorated,
while the music was most exquisite and
appropriate. A grand High Mass was
eelchrased by Father Kirby, Celebrant,
assisted by Father Ryan as Deacon and
Father Paquet as sub-Peacon. The
choir sung Millard’s Mass as sung in St.
Stephen's Church in New York City :
and e\ciy puit of it was rendered with
skni and effect. 1 ) rof. \V iegand presided
at the organ. Under his leadership and
instruction the choir has become very
proficient, and the music is now given
in a style that reflects the highest credit
upon all concerned, and will compare, we
1 ’ lic ve. with that of any choir in the South.
How gratifying it must have been to
die venerable and beloved Pastor of the
Cl lurch, Father Duggan, to have wit
nessed the very full and strict observance
ot th( ceremonies of the week, and the
zeal and piety displayed by his congre
gation in their attendance and devotion.
The decorations were the handiwork
of the ladies of the congregation, who
exhibited great energy and taste in their
arrangement and display.
st. mart’s (catholic.) church.
Was decorated in the* simple and chaste
manner which has always characterized
the adornment of this house of worship.
The altar was ornamented with ever
greens and white blossoms, in a style
that was beautiful in its simplicity. Mer
cadantes’ four voice Mass was sung by
the choir, assisted by some of the best
amateurs in the city. The trio in the
Gloria and Incarnatus in the Credo
were rendered in a masterly style ; while
the heart moving solo, “I know that my
Redeemer liveth,” claimed the earnest
and enraptured attention of the entire
congregation, which was composed of the
representatives of all creeds. The sol
emn and impretsive ceremony was con
cluded with the grand chorus, Et Kesur
rexit, the soul-inspiring strains of which
caused the heart to leap in exultation at
the joyful reflection of a world redeemed.
The sermon was preached by Rev. Dr.
Baker in his most eloquent and earnest
style The subject was taken from the
Gospel of the day, St. Mark, chapter 16,
from the Ist to the 7th verse, “Jesus of
Nazareth which was crucified, is risen.”
After giving a very comprehensive and
eloquent account of the death and resur
rection of our Lord and Saviour, he con
cluded by assuring the faithful that the
purchase of our redemption made by the
sacrifice on Calvary, is guarantied to
them by the resurrection.
ST. FIN BAP.’s (CATHOLIC) CATHEDRAL CHAPEL.
The decorations in this Chapel were
confined entirely to the altar and the
shrine of the Virgin, which were profuse
ly laden with the choicest flowers of
spring. Mass was celebrated at early
morn, and at the usual hour of worship,
a very larg'e congregation, embracing
very many Christians of Protestant de
nominations, assembled to celebrate High
Mass. The choir, which is recognized as
one of the best in the city, was efficiently
assisted by Professor Dauer’s Band, and
in the progress of the service rendered
Deden’s “ Kyrie,” and “ Gloria in Ex
celsis,” the “Credo,” “Sanctus,” “Benedic
tus,” “Agnus Dei,” and “Dona nobis
pacem.”
The discourse was preached by 'Right
Rev. Bishop Lynch, from Paul’s First
Epistle to the Corinthians, chapter xv.,
commencing at the 12th verse.
st. Joseph’s (catholic) church.
At St. Joseph’s Church Mass was cele
brated at seven and at half-past ten
o’clock in the morning, by the Rev. J.
O’Neil], Jr. In consequence of the ill
ness of the Pastor, llcv. C. J. Crogan,
the services of this Church were some
what shortened, there being no sermon,
but the beautiful altars were, as usual,
decorated with flowers and evergreens,
fresh and lovely as the spring time.
st. taul’s (society st.) catholic church,
Also bore evidence of the handiwork of
gentlewoman ; the altar and chancel were
beautifully and chastely decorated with
flowers and evergreens. The service
was solemn and impressive, and every
thing seemed to confirm the pleasing and
gratifying intelligence of the resurrection
of Christ, and a world-redeemed. Father
Shaddler preached an eloquent and in
spiring sermon to the large congregation
which had assembled to give thanks
to Almighty God for the salvation se
cured to them through the blood of his
Son, the Saviour of the world.
Avery interesting ceremony recently
took place in Memphis, the Rev. J. A.
Kelly, officiating. It was the reception
and profession of Sisters at St. Agnes’
Academy on the 25th inst. Father Kelly
delivered a beautifuband appropriate dis
course, and the entire ceremony was
exceedingly interesting. The two pro
fessed were Sister Catharine Kintz and
Sister Hyacintha Peters The postulants
received to the habit were Sister Benvan
Phelan, Sister Antoninus McFadden,
and Sister Aloysia Bloomer.
[ Cor. Freeman's Journal.
The Germans of Washington have
long had a church of their own language
and nationality in this city. But it is
found that they have increased so rapidly
that they require further accommodations ;
and Rev. B. A. Wiget, S. J., President
of Gonzaga College, lias been charged
with the duty of erecting another edifice
for the purpose on a much larger scale than
old St. Mary’s. A site has been selected
and purchased ; and it is the intention
to commence the building the present
year. The project will, no doubt, meit
with encouragement from the German
community, as well as from Catholics in
general; and the thrifty and economical
habits of that people will enable them to
contribute solidly to the rapid construc
tion of the Church.— Mirror.

Diocese of Hartford— Dedication of
a New Catholic Church and Confirma
tion — On the 10th of March a beautiful
little stone church was solemnly dedicated
by the Rt. Rev. Dr. McFarland, Bishop
of Hartford, at Stafford Springs. Ct., as
sisted by Revs E. O’Brien, of New Ha
ven, B. Tully, of Rockville, Eugene
Vygen, of Putnam, A Trincen, of Woon
socket, R. 1., and E. Van Laar, the zeal
ous assistant of our beloved pastor. Some
sixty-five children and adults were con
firmed, and sumo two hundred and fifty
people received Holy Communion, pray
ing the Divine Host to relieve and
strengthen their Holy Father Pius the
Ninth, in his difficulties and persecutions.
At the High Mass our most reverend
Bishop preached with his usual feeling
and persuasive eloquence.

Diocese of Little Rock. —The Festi
val of St. Patrick, which was also the
anniversary of Bishop Fitzgerald’s in
stallation, wa3 duly observed. High Mass
was sung, Coram Episcopa, and an ele
gant panegyric of the " glorious apostle,”
delivered by a talented young clergyman,
Rev. Thomas McGivern, whom the Bishop
has appointed to the pastoral charge of
Helena.
On Saturday, March 20th, the wife of
Captain O’Keefe, of Battery •, U. S,
A., was received into the Church by the
Very Rev. P. Reilly, V G, and on the
following Sunday the wife of Dr. Harte
was publicly baptized after High Mass
by the Bishop, in the presence of a large
number of our non-Catholic brethren.
The Bishop admitted two postulants to
the holy habit of religion in the order of
our Lady of Mercy, on Monday, March
9th. The ceremony took place in the
spacious study hall of the Sisters’ Acade
my, converted for the occasion into a
chapel; and was witnessed by a large
number of invited guests, amongst whom
were several of our non-Catholic friends.
“ The spacious Cathedral of St. An
drew,’’ as one of our veracious daily" pa
pers lately designated it, is a frame build
ing, sixty by thirty-five feet. You will
be glad to learn that it is becoming too
small for the wants of our fast-growing
congregation. Avery fair proportion of
our church-goers is made up of non-
Catholics; especially at the evening ser
vice, at which the Bishop is giving a series
of instructions on the doctrines and prac
tices of the Catholic Church.

Death of a Holy Retjgieuse. —The week
just ended has witnessed one of those events
so little remarked in our busy w r orld, but
of such eminent interest in tho records of
Faith. A heroic soul, unknown in the
strife and tumult of the age, but victori
ous in the great spiritual combat, has
finished her probation on earth and
passed to the sphere where sacrifice is no
longer accepted. Sister Mary of St.
Theresa, Superior of the House of the
Good Shepherd, died of consumption while
still in the spring-time of her youth and
usefulness.
She was sent South from Canada, in
the hope that a more genial climate would
arrest the fatal malady which had al
ready manifested its presence. But it was
too late. The order has to submit to the
loss of a member endowed with such
piety, intelligence, and administrative
ability as to be entrusted with the re
sponsible post of Superior in the estab
lishment, for the control of which so much
discretion is essential. At the early age
of twenty-six her cup of sacrifice and of
merit is already full, and she is called
away. Consummala in breve.

Death of Very Rev. Canon O’Neil,
Vicar-General of Westminster. —The
death of this excellent Priest is thus an
nounced by his Grace Archbishop
Manning :
It is with much sorrow that we have
to ask your prayers for the repose of the
soul of the Very Rev. James Canon
O’Neil, Vicar-General, who was taken
from us on the night of the 15th.
His life of humility and charity is so
well known to all our flock, both clergy
and people, that you will feel how great is
our common loss. We would commend
him to your charity, both in the Holy
Sacrifice and in your communions and
other works of piety ; and we are assured
that you will long remember him in your
prayers. Henry Edward,
Archbp, of Westminster.
Archbishop Manning has written a
powerful letter to Earl Grey on the con
dition of Ireland. At a time like the
present, when all eyes are turned on that
country, such a letter cannot fail to pro
duci great good.
