OUR LITTLE RUTH.
AGGIE B.
The dark winged angel, death, did come,
And to the spirit land,
He bore the fairest of our group,
The loveliest of our baud.
Just ns her ways so winning sweet,
Around ou* hearts did twine;
Death claimed our little rose-bud,
And we were left to pine.
Like a pure white w.vxen snow-drop,
In loveliness she lay;
Oh ! it was sad, to place that form
In the cold dark earth away.
And vet, our Ruth is happy now;
How sweetly doth she rest, *
Folded within the Saviour's arm.
Close to his loving breast.
The little flower, too pure for earth,
In heaven unfolds its charms.
The angel mother has met her babe,
And clasped it in her arms.
. Oh. Father! full of every grace,
Os mercy, truth and love;
Oh! gran , that we may meet our Ruth,
In her bright home above.

CHARACTERISTIC SAYINGS OF
AMERICANS.
[Columbus (Ohio) Journal ]
Someone wuh a good memory for surh
tltinoK, might make a very readable article
from the bent remembered arid must charac
teristic savinoe of Americans. Here are a
few which may serve as specimens of what
might be done with time and opportunity.
Samuel Adams, known for many things,
Beid -m has bis name associated with the
phrase first applied by him to England—
‘‘Nation ot shopkeepers. ”
It was John Wesley, and not Charles
Sumner, who first spoke of slavery (the
slave trade) as “the sum of all villames.”
Franklin has said many things that have
passed into maxims, but nothing is better
known and remembered than: “lie has
paid dear, very dear, for hie whistle.
Washington made but few epigrammatic
speeches. Mere is one • “To be prepared
for war is the most effectual means of pre
serving peace.”
Did you ever hear of old John Dickinson ?
Well, he wrote <d Americans, in 17G8
4 By uniting we stand, i»v dividing we fait.”
Patrick Henry, as every schoolboy km ws
gave us; “Give me liberty, or give me
death.” and, “If this be treason, make the
most of it ”
Thomas Paine had many quotable epi
grammatic sentences : ‘ li .se like a rocket,
te l like a s.ick "‘Tunes that try men’s
'■ouls ‘ One step fr m sublime to ridicu
lous ” etc.
J‘if rsori’s writings are so besprinkled
that it is difficult to select. In despair we
jump at “Few die and ..one resign,” cer
tainly as aj plic ib’e to office-holders now as
in J-If-rs m’s time.
J istiih Quincy. Jr., said, “Wheresoever,
whensoever, or howsoever we shall be call
ed on to make our ex.t, we shall be free
men.”
Henry L>*e gave Washigton his immortal
title of “F rst in war, first in peace, and
first in the hearts of his countrymen,”
Charles Ootesworth Pinckney declared
in faV'.r of mil ions for defence, but not one
cent in favor of tribute.”
“Peaceably if we can, forciblv if we
must,” is from Josiah Quincy, 1811.
J .hn Adams did not say, ‘Live or die.
-urvivc nr parish, I’m for the constitution.”
but Daniel Websier did say it fur him.
T e revolutionary age alone would give
us one ariide, had we time to gather the
pearls. Coming down we pass greater, but
not m -re famous men, for
D tvid Crockett, the il!ustri us author of
“Be sure you are right, and then go ahead ”
Andrew Jachson gave us “the Union—it
must be preserved.”
Benton almost lost his original identity
in “Oi l Bullion,” from his “hard money”
doctrines.
G vernor Throop, of New Y'ork. was call
ed “Small Light Throop” for years, from a
phrase in n Thanksgiving proclamation.
Scott’s ‘ hasiy plate of soup” lasted his
life time.
Taylor’s battle order. “A little more
grape. Captain Bragg,” will be quoted
alter he is forgotten by “all the world and
the rest of mankind.”
Seward is known for the “irrepressible
Conflict,” wherever the Euglich language is
spoken.
Marcey’s patched breeches are as well
remembered as his state papers.
Rufus Choate gave us “glittering gener'
alities.”
Our own Bill Allen, the ‘Chinese Gong,”
is responsible for “54-40, or fight.”
Tom Corwin’s “We come with bloody
hands to hospitable graves,” gave him more
unenviable criticism than any other saying
of his life.
Col Win, S. Rockwell was known in the
late war as “the man who swallowed the
brass drum.”
A pri-oner in the Detroit court, when
asked where he lived, replied: “Live?
Live? I live in the region of eternal bliss.
I own a farm of a thousand acres there. I
plow roy land with angels, and raise cab*
bages, cabbages, cabbages, beets, beets.
You’re are a cabbage ; you’re a beet; you’re
an angel; you’re a horse ; you’re an ass, an
ass ! W hoop l”
‘ls your father living?’
•I’m my awn father —I am the father of
all nations.’

showed tbc versatility of hie genius.
the SEA OF GALILEE.*
W ho has not longed to staitd beside it?
About no place iu Palestine do sweeter
memories gather. Yet if we may
Mark l wain,—who, however, is »>o irrever*
ent in his “Innocents Abroad” touching
many sacred associations that his testimony
is not wholly satisfactory,—this hallowed
sea should not he looked upon rn the glare
of day t» fully realize all anticipation.
For «*nce the humorist feels tenderly sober
amid holy scenes, and thus writes:
Nig >t is the time to see Galilee Gen
essaret. with th(* giirtoring reflections of
the flecking its surface, al
me regret that I ever saw the
rude glare of the day upon it. Its history
and its associations are its chiefest charm
in mv eyes, und the spells they weave are
feeble in the searching light of the sun.
Tnen we scarcely fetl the fetters. Our
thoughts wander constantly to the practical
concerns of life, a .and refuse to dwell upon
things that seem vague and unreal.
But when the day is done, even the most
unimpressibie must yield to the dreamy
influences of this tranquil starlight. The
old tradition* of the place steal upon his
m -inory and haunt his reveries, and then
his fancy clothes all sights and sounds w th
the supernatural. In the lap[#ng of the
waves upon the beach he hears the dip of
ghostly oars ; in the ecret noises of the
night he hears spirit oices ; in the soft
sweep of the breez'% tin rush of invisible
wings. Phantom ships are on the ,»ea, the
dead of twenty centuries come forth from
their tombs, and, in the dirges of the nLh-t
wind, the songs of old, forgotten ages find
utterance again.
In the «tarlight, Galilee has no bounda
Ties hut the tr al compass of the heavens,
and is a theater meet for the birth of a re
ligion able to save the world: and meet for
the stately figure appointed to stand upon its
stage and proclaim its high decrees. But,
in the scnlight, one says: Is it for the
deeds which were done and for the words
which were spoken in this little acre of
rocks ani sand eighteen centuries gone,
that the tells are ringing to day in the re
mote islands of the sea, and far and wide
over continents that clasp tjje circumference
of the huge globe? One’can comprehend
it only ween night has hidden all incongru
ities and created a theater proper for so
great a drama.
Intellhctual Pk — The most
marked failure in the intellectual world at
present, is the freedom of thought and
expression. For ages the mind has been
trammeled by the formulas of school-men
and the bigotry of the church. Men were
forbidden to use their reasons at all, or if
permitted they must start from certain
eon es aid reason by certain rules. T e
results were, to debase the man by destroy
m g within him the use of his higher facul
ties.
I fie Church has had much to do in thus
dwarfing ihe intellect She has demand
ed ttie bl.nd accepiance of her dogmas, and
t underei her anathemas, threatening most
fearful punishments against those who
dared think for themselves. F>r eenturie
she had the power to inflict temporal pu -
ishment, and thus controlled the world of
mi and. Now she can but promise a future
retr.bution, and this by many is little
regarded.
There are very many good persons yet.
who have die fear of the church so strongly

quarter, to receive a full definition of it.

i« fallible as other men, and no Catholic
believes that he may not err in doctrine, in
| preaching and in conduct, the same as other
men.”
The Vicar-General put the case as par*
allel to the decisions of the Supreme Court
of the United States—from them there can
be rm appeal, and are to be acted upon as if
infallibly right. 3o with the Pope, the
highest judge in the ecclesiastical judicial
system He said :
“'lnfallibility’ means this, and no more

officially from the chair of St. Peter, de

infallible. This attribute Gel mgs to all
