The cold, piercing winds of December night whiatlrd and moaned armj.id ihe old Irawe leneuirnl of a poor widow, who resid ed ia narrow, dark strert of a populous riiy, whereof one Penn waa Ihe founder. I he Widow in vain at i. (led the few surplus, islterrd pieces of hr apsrae wardrolie into rha fiseures of the shattered door and win dows, lo exclude ihe nipping breath of " Jack Froat," as it oozed into her bumble apsrl ments; for the fierce inter king and in his enowy train drove furiously through tha deserved urocta, and in boisterous gee mocked tha dying rmbeis of lha poor wo man's fireiido. Upon a small deal table be fore her, aa she crouched in a low chair be. tide Ihe expiring fire, dimly burned a lamp, while Ihe benumbed fmgere of the widow, uiJod ly her weary ryes, were ply nig o er half United garment of a cheap tailor ing establishment. Ever and anon lha poor woman would caat her eyes towards a large and ill-accoutered bed, in a corner nf a room, and aa aha did ao, she Would renew her wast ed energ es lo complete her task. That humble couch contained all on earth that as dear to her her two children slept, mthing the lese sound because of their wretched poverty, but slept that sweet and refreshing alcrp lh.il knilt up the ravelled i'eee of Care, and falls as gently upon the beggar in his shed, as the millionaire in his palace. A sobbing moan escapee lha poor widow, Irars suffuse her hollow checks. " I can work no more, my I'ght ia nearly gone. I'm chilled to Ihe bone. Bui, O, what will my children do for bread lo mor row I Thoy almost broke my hearl when I put Ihem to bed hungry end cold, to-night. To morrow they'll have nothing no food, no fire. Uieat God, they must not peroh, hile I've an eye nr e hand." And ihn poor woman again plied her needle, nodded, ohbed, sighed and worked on, uniiil the lasl mber of her fire waa gone. The light of the lamp flickered in Ihe socket for a mo mam ; and (be last alich in the garment was completed as the faint streaks ol day broke through lha intoistices of tho windows.

But Ihe tun begun lo spread his hroad rays over Ihe frozen earth, and the hum and roar of a busy city resounded again in the streets. The poor woman donned her P'ain h . tn Ii infill n, kissed her waking chil dren, and bidding them sleep until she re turned with wood and fire, she rolled up tho finished garment and started, through Ihe deep snow and deep morning air, to ihe lai loring establishment.

In these limes the clergy neither had nor wished U have the management of .he terrnoraluies. Each congregation was a dioiinct church, in dependent of al' external control, and Iheie wat no such Ihing us an aggregation of churches being colled a church, lis we find meaning in Greek profane authors, who ap plied it lo lhe regularly called meetings of the people. There is no fact more evident in Ihe writings of the New Testament, and from those fragmen's cf lhe history of lhe primitive churches still preserved, lhan Iho , independence of each congregation.

We are informed by the historian that he surpassed all his brelRreu in the magnificence and splendor of the church over which he presided in the riches of his revenues and posaessions in Ihe number and variety of bis ministers in his credit wilh Ihe people, and in hit sump tuous and splendid manner of living.

The P,ilorol Le'U r states thai, in daji gone by, there has been great " forgetfulnets of the extent of ihe authority which the bishops exercise;" and among ihe melan choly causes f this oblivion, is enumerated " the attempt lo apply lo ihe Catholic Church, in iho administration of the temporalities bi longing lo her, principles and rulea foreign to her spirit, and irreconcilable with the au thority of her pastort." W ell, then, let ut tee what this " authemic declaration " lays : " Whatever is i ffered to God, and aolemn ly consccraled to his service, whether it be the material temple in which worshippers assemble, or the ground set apart for Ihe interment of those who repose in God't field, awaiting ihe promised resuneclion, or pro- I"'1!'. ,eal or personal, intended for ihe pur pose if divine ser.ice, or for Ihe educatioo, support, and maintenance of Ihe clergy ev ery such tlin.g is sacred, and belongs to the church, and cannot he withdrawn from lhe service of Gud auhout the guilt of sacri lege.
