Register. 24, 1903. Prem Corrttpondent New York State Orange C IT Y AND C O U N TRY. A GREAT LOVER OF WALK TUG. Thetr M utual D ependence tunl In terest». His Lately we have heard much about the dominance of the country In ur ban affairs, especially In Greater New York. The contempt with which the New Yorker refers to that Indefinite somewhere known as "up the state" can only be equaled by bis abject de pendence on the products of that same country "up the state" for hts daily bread. Fence off the city o f New York at the Harlem river and cut off sup plies, and how long could she exist? I f the country Is dependent on the city for Its markets, the city Is doubly de pendent on the country, for Its very Ufehlood is drawn from It. A fter all, the only thing which God guve to man was the earth. From it comes all wealth. It has been placed nowhere else. It must be dug out of the soil in agriculture or wrought out o f mines. A ll things spring from the Boll, and all things must return to It. Whatever else happens, whether pan ics come or national convulsions occur, though syndicates and trusts may cor ner production, yet the soil remains, and from it everything necessary to man’s sustenance can be gained. Condition depends upon character far more than character upon condi tion, and the usefulness of the resi dent of the country, like that of the city, is dependent upon faithfulness to duty. Let us muko it our aim, then, whether we be residents of the country or the city— T o love some one more dearly every day, T o help a wandering child to find Its way, T o ponder o'er a noble thought and pray And smile when evening falls; T o follow ttuth as blind men long for light. T o do our best from dawn o f day till night. T o keep our hearts fit fo r his holy sight And answer when he calls. —George A. Fuller. K E Y S T O N E PATRONS.

G ere is an account or the daily life of Leo X III., written by a gentleman who had full opportunity of observation, says the New York Herald: “ Leo X III. rises every morning at half past 6 o'clock and is aided in dress ing by a domestic named Centra, like himself born at Carplueto. The pope then says mass In his own private chapel and bus another mass said for him, at which he Is present. Then he takes his breakfast, consisting of a single cup of coffee and milk. After this he receives his private secretaries. Mgr. Bocali and Mgr. Laurenzl, who bring him news of whnt Is occurring i and give him information regarding the general correspondence — letters, documents, etc.—which they have been examining during the Interval. His ho- ; Uness then receives the cardinal secre tary of state nnd subsequently, each In j their turn, the vurlous members of the Sacred college, with whom he holds council In regard to the various con gregations to which their eminences I belong. A t 1 o’clock the pope takes his ' second breakfast, consisting o f soup— ! rice soup by preference—a fritter and a small quantity o f roast meat. Ho i drinks Uordeuux wine—hut real Bor- 1 deaux, of whose origin there is no ! doubt—this wine being regularly sent to the holy father by the nuns o f a convent situated In the department (le ! In Gironde. A fter tills repast he takes | an hour or nn hour and a half of sleep. | according to an old custom of his, j which partly compensates him for the | long hours of busy wakefulness he must puss. “ Then the pope takes n walk through ' the galleries or through the gardens of j the Vatican, according as the weather Is fair or chilly. On his return he gives i audience to such bishops as have come ■ to Rome or perhaps to some member of ! the Roman aristocracy—of that portion j of It which has remained faithful lo the holy see, be It well understood. I About 10 p. m. the pope retires to his room, where he remains shut up until half past 11 o’clock. “ Between 4 and 5 o’clock In the after noon the pope used to tnke his walk. A t this time no one unconnected with the court was admitted to the gardens o f the Vatican. An eyewitness, howev er, who had the good fortune to make friends with the gardener, Snlvatorl. wns placed by him so as to be able to see the pope on one o f his dully rum bles. Leo X III. advanced with long strides. Ills Imposing figure becomingly dressed In the simple and majestic pon tifical robes. The pope preceded most o f his suit, as If he wished to rest In solitude after the long day o f his public duties. To the great disappointment of Salvatorl, who had prepared some rus tic sents, the pope did not profit by them. He stopped a moment before the lattice o f the aviary, smiled nt the golden pheasants, at the fantailed pi geons, with the benevolence of a St. Francis d’ Asslsl. then resumed his wnlk, penetrating the thicket which occupies a large part of the garden. ‘His holiness,' Salvatorl explained, •takes a rapid walk o f an hour and a half every day till the Ave Marla.’ In the middle o f a large square, carefully graveled, were reproduced by a design In young boxwood, cut close nnd care fully trimmed, the arms o f the pope, with the legend. ’Leo X III. Tont. Max.,’ the cypress, the star nnd the lil ies o f the Peer Is being cnrefully out lined. Leo X III. did not pay much at tention to the work o f Salvatorl, but one need not therefore conclude that his holiness did not care for art. “ Pope I ah ) brooked no advisers and neither asked nor expected nny human aid. He had a will o f his own and fol lowed no other. His own line o f con duct was traced long before his acces sion. H e had no worldly policy, his reign was not o f this world, his trust was not In princes, his gendarmes and Swiss guards were only an encum brance and a vexation to him, he hnd faith In his priestly office—In his office as guardian o f God's truth nnd herald o f God's word. He bade Christians fight unbelief with his own weapons. He taught them how to meet the soph isms o f man’s science with the sounder arguments o f God’s knowledge. He would set Aaron’s rod against the rods of the magicians, and he pointed to Louvain as the mansion of truth against which the gates o f hell could I not prevail. It was unarmed faith, he thonght. the reasoning snd not the mil itant church, which rules Belgium; snd If Belgium, why not one day France? W hy not eventually also Italy? Spread , true light among the people, combat error by dispelling Ignorance, win the masses over to the eternal, unchange able truth; bate morality on heaven's law, bid God’s kingdom come, make God's will the people’s will, and what king or parliament, asked the pope, could stand against It? What array of , civil authority or or military power could avail against the unarmed au thority. the unassuming yet Irresistible ascendency o f the church? Such was Pope Leo’s views o f his mission so far as It can be made ont from bis prece dents as a bishop and from his acta at 1 ■ pontiff." The Church of the Visitation at of a little over 17 mills.
