It opens with , these verses:— . The Sons of Mary seldom bother, for they have inherited that good : part ; But the Sons of Martha favor their : Mother of the careful soul and ; the troubled heart. ■ And'' because she lost her temper > once, and because she was rude > to the Lord her Guest, Her Sons must wait upoa Mary's Sons, world without end, refggg'prieve, or rest. It is their care in all the. _ges to take the buffet and cushion the shock, It is their care that the gear engages; it is their care that the switches lock. It ig their care that., the wheels run truly ; it is the^r care to embark and entrain. Tally, transported deliver duly th© Sons of Mr ir y by land and main. We are toi a in the third, fourth, and fafth ve )rse s 0 f tho toil of the Sons of M 4ry , «<They finger death at the gl«_ves' end where they piece and repine the living wires." They d/j ao t preach that their (iod wi.il rouse them a little before t/ie nuts work loose; The,y do not teach that His pity allows them to leave tbeir work whenever they choose. As in the thronged and tbe lighted f ways, so in the dark and the ! desert they stand, i Wary and watchful all their days i that their brethren's days may net be lons in the land. * * " * * * * i And the Sons of Mary smile and are blessed— they know the angels are on their side: They know in them is the Grace ' confessed, and for thetu are tho Mercies multiplied. They sit at the Feet— they hear the Word— they see how truly the i Promise runs; They have cast their burden upon the Lord, and the Lor;^ He lays it on Martha's Sons ! CHAMPION "YAKER." : Leo Taxil is dead. He was the champion liar t>f the ae. He invented "Diar.a Vaughan, the supposed prophetess of Black Masonry, and hoaxed all JEurope with it. It will go d^vi] in the list of great hoaxes George Psalmanazar and his Fo^mosan hoax and the for cries of CVjatterton. Leo Taxil was not his, real name. In fact, there was r.othing real about this champion "faker" of the age. He was Gabriel Anfcoine Joyaud-Pages, and he was born in Marseilles. Educated by the Jesuits, he very early developed faults, which resulted in his foing to a house of correction. He came to. Paris filled, ho said, with hatred of the Jesuits, and started an anticlerical bookshop. Having become a Freemason, he was expelled from the order and then turned clerical. He made a public retraction with great pomp, and so imposed on the cler«y that they held a special thanksgiving service at Montmartro. He began exposing with bis customary violence bis old allies the Freemasons aDd Freethinkers, and in the cause of hia campaign alleged that the "black mass" was still being celebrated by the Satanists among the French Freemasons. The clerical party snatched at this with joy as a means of discrediting tbeir opponents, and Leo Taxil's books were translated into every European language. He invented the celebrated Diana Vaughan, who was a high priestess of the Lnciferin sect, and went so far as to supply her portrait to American newspapers. Interviews with her appeared, and he actually fixed a day for her public recantation and reception in tbe Church. His most impudent imposture was the sendin? of the devil's tail to tbe Jesuits as a present. He declared that it had been secured at one of the "blacic masses" held by tbe Satanists in Masonic lodges. Tbis tail turned out to be a portion of a rug made out of a lion's akin with a tail attached. Another of his stories was that the rock of Gibraltar is undermined by subt o'-raoean galleries where the FreensaHans met Satan fit fixed times to hold their impious worship. At la&t the non-appearance of' Diana Vaughan made his dupes uneasy, and it ended by this fluent liar making another recantation, in which he admitted that bis Luciferian uropbetess was a myth, and that "Satanism" did not exist. He died at last, lejected by all parties, in obscurity and poverty. At Salta, in Argentina, a list of bad schoolboys and girls is published weekly in the newspapers. The Wanganui Museum hf.s just received from a gentleman who does not wish his name mentioned, a fine donation of 100 splendidly mounted tropical birds. A lady carries on the work of a barber in Christchurb. Women barbers are fairly numerous in Australia. The export of rabbits from Otago tbia winter it is estimated will exceed last winter's by fully thirtythree per cent.
