would not feel it my duty," .was the prompt
Response. We may theorize as we choose, but
that anecdote preaches a sermon that cannot be
gainsaid. People manage to believe about as
they try to. The fact Is a terrible one for any
but prayerful and teachable souls. Who dares

Murrjing bj Lot.
One of the most curious customs of tho Mo-
iraviaii Church is marrying by lot. A little boot
jwrltlen by a lady who was once a member of
Ihe sect tells about It. The women live in an
Jtstablishannt under the charge of an Elderes,
lH the unmarried men In a like establishment.
Vhen oue of the brethren wishes to marry, he
announces his wish to the society, and tho
itlderess eeleCs a lady whom she thinks suita
ble. Then lots marked yea and no are thrown
Into a box, and if the first drawn is in the
E Urinative, the marriage takes place; but if
cgative, a new choice is made, and the lot
Dnce more appealed to. Missionaries la distant
elds of labor frequently have wives 'selected
y the society, the ceremony of marriage per
formed with a proxy, and the bride sent on to
heir station, where, peihap?, they meet for the
jtirst time.

Sabbith week seventy pprsons were received on
proteston of their faith, thirty six of whom
received the ordinance ot baptism. It was a
precious eight to see so many turning ther backs
upon the world and setting tbeir faces towards

earnest of His willingness to bless, to pray more
lervently for the peace ol Jerusalem."

Many of our readers will remember the
history of tbe Abbets Makrina, a Basillan nun,
sorely persecuted and maltreated by the late
Czar Nicholas, from wboe agents she contrived
to escspe, to find a sure refuge at Borne. During
twenty-live ears she governed the Basiiiau
Convent in that city, attracting the veneratiou
oi all who knew her. aLd offering all her suffer,
ings and piajers for the deliverance of her
nation from the oppressor. Tnis holy woman
died on the eveulnu of Ash Wednesday, in tbe
arms of the Prince s Odescalcht, one of her
nioet devoted Irienos. Only two days intervened
between her death and that ot her countryman.

The llnimrs relates that the good Christians
of Italy, admonished by a sign which has never
deceived them, tbousrh the world will deride it
as unworthy of notice, are expecting grave
events. On tbe banks of tbe Fosco delta
Career! dl 8. Francesco, near Assist, a ravine
usual y without water, is a hermitage long in
habited by the seraphic patriarch, St. Francis
piedicted that whenever tbe mountain torrents
should forsake other channels to fljw tbrouKh
this lavine. aflllctions would be at hand for
Italy. Tradition asserts that the word of the
Batntbas been fulfilled on every occasion. From
tbe day that Victor Emanuel tet foot on tbe
Pontifical territory, at Monte Gualaudra, on tbe
30th ot January, tbe ravine has been filled by a
menacing flood. Ibid.
Tbe total number of Jesuits employed on mis
sions throughout the world is 3429, of whom
some have their own local mission which they
carry on, while others are auxiliaries of the
Church. Of the former class are the vicariates
of Hindostan and Bombay, 28 fathers; of Ma
dura, 60 fa the is; of China, 42 fathers; and of
other places, including 8 vicars apostolic, 188
fathers, 46 scholastics not yet Introduced to full
membership, and 62 other coadjutors. Of the
second class there are 139 fathers in England,
15 in Constantinople and tbe vicinity, 46 in
New York, 90 in Maryland, 84 In Missouri, 35 in
New Orleans, 34 in California, and 14 in the
Bocky Mountains. These places, we judge, are
the names given to districts ot the United States,
and include the whole country. Besides these,
there are many more scholastics and "brothers
coadjutors."
We are glad to learn that Father Doane is
succed.ng in his charitable undertaking. He
has received five thousand from his Grace, five
thousand from Mrs. Patterson, and live thousand
from another lady, who is unwilling that her
name be published. We have not learned if
any other parties Lave founded burses, but
fceiore Father Doane's departure, otbers, no
doubt, will emulate tbe exumple of the above.
The object ot this endowment is to secure a
foothold for the American Church in the city
ot Borne, and to found a college on lasting
foundations, In which a certain number of
candidates tor tbe American mission will be
jeailv maintained and educated free. The
success of the enterprise is already assured, and
we hope the opportunity will not be neglected
by the wealthy Catholics of this city to raise
an eudnriug monument to themselves and their
posterity more lasting than marble or brass, iu
tbe heart ol the Eternal City. Si. Louis
