" Why do you not , want to go to heaven ?" The little tellow, his, breast heaving with , emotion, .and eyes filling with team,,rephed, "r have been such a wicked boy that I am afraid to see 'God !" Now, let not the reader infer that this child was wicked in the sense of using bad language, or being quarrelsome, or other wise outwardly faulty ; for the reverse was true. All but himself would have pro neunced him a lovely-, and excellent child. But his conscience had been enlightened; he had been taught that God's law "is ex ceedingly broad," that "the, thought of foolishness is sin ;" that great sin may be_ committed by the indulgence of wrong feelings, even when not made known to others by words or. actions. Let all 'our `readers seriously think of Well Spring., I . iStdialltilitS. The Society of R. Vincent de Paul and the The Christian World publishes the fol lowing from a letter of Rev. Dr. Meelin took : DEAR DR. BAIRD :—You have already informed your readers of the conflict be tween the Society of St. Vincent. de Paul and. the French government. The, dispute, is now approaching its crisis. Yesterday's Noniteur contained a. circular addressed by Count de Persigny, Minister of the "Into rior, to the Prefects of the various depart ments of France, in which he reports the results, of .his late attempt to bring the So. : ciety into its proper relations with the Government. That attempt was as follows:. The government, you will remember, has never sought or desired to interfere with the charitable labors of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul, to limit its expansion, or in any way to hinder it from carrying out, to the fullest. extent, and in the freest man ner compatible with the law of the land, the benevolent objects which alone, it pro fesses to pursue. Butas_ the law requires' that organized hodies in France, shall' be under the control of the State, so far, at least, as to report its : proceedings, the goveriament has simply' required the SIC-. ciety to comply, with this law,.just as it would require any Protestant organization of the kind to do. As the simplest and mostacceptable mode of accomplishing this end, the government proposed "to nominate a French Cardinal as President of the Bp eiety, which is now under the patronage, or prcsideney,, of a Cardinal at Rome. Persigny, therefore, addressed a circular some time ago to all the branch Societies of St. Vincent de Paul in. France, asking whether they would_aubmit to the presi dency as thus to be constituted _by the governnient, stating, at:the same time, that no other central otganization than this would be allowed. The reault la, that .88 branch Secieties,have submitted to the pro, posal of the governmeht, while 766 hive refused it. : In the circular just issued, Count Persigny states that as thequestion of the organization +as thus been definite ly settled by the conferences and the:legal existeve of _the Society admitted„ Imperial decree, each of the conference, of the Society will henceforth. exist inde i : pendently of each other, and have no con necting central tie. Count Persigny, then alluding to' a lettersof M. Bandon, in whieh that gentleman asserted that he would, prei..: serve the centralizing powers of the So-' clay, sayothf,t this-wopld f bkan ,Aufraetip of the` lawsWftieh%ll/ 'hot s be Petniitte7 by the government. This_ amounts to saying that the Society must'either obey the law, or cease to exist as an ,or4,u:!jzed body. The wrath and diiiinakofLthe Clerical body —at least of the ultramontane portion of it- 7 -is extreme.. ; , The better elass-of-their i joirnals express themselves with a degree of iimoderativ4. but underithis veil a pro found sense ot'irritation' is obViodi. Thus the Union of yesterday uses the ,, : following language; • " it will he sufficiently understood that this is the last blow,struck at the :unity of association, whiqh,solitfaiitUrid6nfereßS4B) A ilow tad.

Thus, as we have remarked from the commencement, although there will still subsist isolated bodies, there will be no longer any common bond; there will be local conferences, bat no longer a Society of Saint Vincent de Paul. Those words explafn everything: We have =no need to add, -what feeling of deep regret they inspire us with in the interest of lib erty and. Charity. ,After thirty years of innumerable services rendered to all the sufferings of humanity—after having ac quired, with the affection of the poor whom it assisted, the esteem and the a d miration even of those who now strike the NoW, the . Society of Saint Vincent • de Paul disap pears as a national and free.institution, as an entire work, applying to France, where it was born,and where it has so marvel lously extended'the resourees oriti and the devotedne,ss of , its frnitfulimpul sion. The bori'd which iinfterLitssoittered members is broken; the force of aggrega gation, which, emanating from the centre, gave life to the Very!extreinitiei, linger exists for France. We should be •false to our conscience—we should be despised by our contradictors themselves—if* at this moment we attempted to conceal the afflic tion which .overwhelms us. It will •be shared by all Christian hearts; it will be= understoodand respected, we trust, even by our adyeiaaries , and victors." The Liberals, on the other.hand, are in raptures. The Siecie - declares ,that the hondr of the Government was in danger of beiug compromised by its negetiatinhewith the members of the _late, pouncii-general. Thus, to treat with them on an equal foot ing was encouraging 'their, pretlensionsk it !was high time to take other"measitres; and the circular of M. de Periigny annonnces ;the firm intention, of at last ,applying the, Jaw to this Society Which ,openly avowed its dependence on a foreign prince,-and ;which, rather than accept a president from Ithehands of the - civil J autherity,epreferred Ito be directed in case of M. Baudon's de cease, by a polyglot trinity, compOsed. of a' Belgian, a 'Dutchman, , aird a ,Prussian. Experience must now have convincedX. de Persigny that no arrangements are pos sible between' the civil power and an asso dation whose opoult'or ostensible directors . 19 '0 1 .!P PPqllg-.F.r.0n.9 1 ?
