To give the readers of Tub OazrrrB some idea of tbesoleaa grsudeur of these oarcmoules with which tbe Cslhollo Church recall! to the minds of the fsltbfol, the soul stirring events which took plus oo Oslvsiy nearly 1000 years ago, we will give s brief deaorlption of them. The Tenebrae Is aaetvioe held on Wednes day, Thursday sod Friday. It localled the office of tha Tenting from that Cello word which sign idea thvkueu-, for toward tbe end, all the lights are extinguished, both to express the deep est mourning, and In memory of the darkness which covered tbe whole esrtb at our Lord’s crucifixion. It oonstsU of tho matins and lands for Thursday, Friday and Saturday, anti cipated tbe evening forogojnr. In a triangnlu candlestick, placed lo lbs centre of the sanctuary, areaetStteen candle*, seven on each aide, and one on top. The candles oo each side ate put out, one after every psalm, beginning from tbe lowest toward the gospel side, then on lbs opposite. After these fourteen, tbe while candle on the top being left burning, whilst tbe can tide of Zacfaary 1* sung, tbe six candles on tbs altar are pat out, one after each verse. At the beginning of tbe verse, after tbe oanlicle, the while candle is taken down Iron tbe top of the trian gular candlestick sod bid under lbs altar, whilst Uis psalm Jlfuerei-e and the prater are recited; after which It Is brought out again. The noise which Is made la the end, rep resects tbe earthquake, and the splitting of the rooks, in the cunvnWvs agonise which Inanimate nature felt at the dsath of the Hon of God. For tbs offices duriug these three days are s kind of fusers! obsequies, which the Okureb pays to bar divine Spouse nod Reds*user. The candles represent tbe apostles and the disci paw,—the extinction of tbeae lights, their Sight or mourning, hot the can dle on tbe top of the triangular eaodle etlok represents Christ himself; on whloh account It Is oolv hid under tbs altar, and again produced, to rfiow that Christ was only hid In the aspel ebre for a short lime, aud then rose "gale. One thing especially must be noted In connection with tbe office of Tencbra,—the Lamentation* of Jere mlsb. suns after the Arst aoetume, or division of three psalms, in matins. Thfee portions of that feel idg elegy are glvea to each day; being arranged In such.exquisite harmony aa ravishes tlm sene*, and sung iu an inflexion of an cient and moat moving melody.

Tbe uaveUleg of the arose U a very lmpremlvB ceremony. Tba crucifix la uncovered, and thon exposed to tbo veneration of tbo faithful.

Tba Altar waa resplendent with flaming wax esodlss. Tba choir waa augmented by the Col lege Orchestra for this occasion, and rendered soma flea music.
