POPE LEO'S LAST PRATER.
A copy of Pope Leo's dying prayer.
written by himself and included In
volume, of verses presented py htm to
each of the cardinals of the Sacred
college on the occasion of his recent
jubilee.
Leo, now sets thy sun: Pale is Its dy
ing ray: .
Black night succeeds thy day.
Black night for thee: Wasted thy
frame: Life's blood sustains
No more thy shrunken veins.
Zteath casts his fatal dart: Robed for
the grave thy bones
Lie under thecold stones.
But my freed soul escapes her chalraT
and longs in flight
To reach the reajjwfof light
That lsh goal ehe seeks: Thither her
Journey fares:
Grant, Lord, my anxious prayers.
That with the cittaen of heaven. God's
face and light.
May ever thrill my sight.
That I may see thy face. Heaven's
uneen, whose mother love
Has brought roe home above
To Thee, saved through the tangles
of perilous way,
I lift my grateful lay.
THE MOST POPULAR BOOK.
, fnder the capttion "Still the Book of
Books' the Boston Transcript has these
cuggestlva words:
The extraordinary change of belief
as regards the origin and sanctity of
the Bible, which has marked the re
ligious thinking of the past 10 years,
does not in the least interfere with
its sales, but has rather Increased
them. This !s very obvious. If one con
sults the statements of the various
Bible societies. The two largest so
cetles In America and England put out
last year nearly ten million copies. It
is a remarkable thing that no concern
engaged in printing this book has fail
ed, though there was some agitation
a few years ago to form a Bible trust
The prices have been declining for
years, and the cost of manufacturing
has in some particulars advanced. The
output of the Oxford press is 20,009 a
Veek. This edition is always in great
demand. Forty Thousand sheets of
gold are used in lettering the copies,
and the skin of -100,000 animals for
binding are used every year.
A current circulation of $30, bar
ring a t Iny fraction, for every man, wo
man and child in the commonwealth
is probably the best showing ever made
by any nation the price of a cow or
a sprng overcoat for everybody Its
distribution is a trine irregular, but
that is like the sea's level, always in
a state of disturbance and rectification.
Those who haven't got their share of
the $30 are not forbidden to hustle for
it and those who have more the get
rich quick concerns stand ready to re
dress with neatness and dispatch when
ever they are so minded.
. Here's to the kicker, the faint heart
ed kicker, the kicker so helpless and
blue: who always is crying and never
Is trying some goodfor his town to do.
