THE ECUMENICAL COUNCIL. The Prelates' Protest Against InfallibilityNames of the Signers, English and American The Archbishop of Cincinnati Heads the List The Document Translated into English. Correspondence N. Y. Herald. Kome, April 11. The Following highly important document has been adopted bj many of the Bishops in attendance at the Ecumenical Council, and presented to the Pope, on the subject of infallibility. The paper is headed by the name of the most reverend .Archbishop Purccll, of Cincinnati a fact which gives its promulgation, if possible, additional importance: Most Holy Father Humbly prostrate at the feet of your Holiness, we most earnestly supplicate that the question on the definition of the infallibility of the Sovereign Pontiff as a dogma of faith may not be proposed to the Yatican Council. Among other reasons of this supplication we beg to add only three, which appear to be suQicient: First Because the discussion of this question will evidently show a want of union, and especially uuanimity among the Bishops. Second Because, on account of the circumstances in which we are placed in countries where heresies not only exist with impunity, but are dominant, this de tinition, instead of attracting, would alienate those whom we seek, by all Christion means, to lead to the true fold of Christ. Thud Because we anticipate endless qr.cstioiiS will arise which may interfere with and prevent the work of our ministry, and cause the fruits of this council to be lost to those who ate iict members of the holy Catholic Church. Having laid bare! t ur hearts aisd sincere intentions we im- j Here Almiiihtv God to avert all evil from the i Inn ill, and that He may iliumiue and direct you with Ilis hoiy spirit. .?. B.

In place of lounging in elegant foreign studios, or gliding down faj mous canals and streams in picturesque ' gondolas, she had butter ar.d cheese to j make, and poultry 10 rear, and dinners to eook in the lonir, low ceiled kitchen, and the thousand and one cares upon l.er lcuidcrs that m:ko up a busy huaschoSJ. tjaito a contrast, as must be admitted. With thim iiule uiiferent she'd not j have minded the work so much; couKl she j have had tii- c carpets and tasteful furoi- ; tare, and bo -ks and a pieiure or two. and j flowers, i iie house was so very hard and prac-ical, aiul its surroundings were uo;- ; ting so shabby. At first she had not 110- ' lioed this, or cared for it; but every year, j as the years r died on, made matters look j dingier. Old Mrs. Thompson had not eared to be smart aud nioe; Ilobert never thought about it. And what if he had? it is only natural for men to assume that what had done for a mo! her would do for a wife. The matter to-day -which had put her very much out was tnis. A sew me club had recently been established in the neighborhood. There was much distress amidst the poor laborers' wives and families, and some ladies with time on their hands set up a sewing club, to make a fewclothes for the nearly naked children. The farmers' wives had joined it, Mrs. Thompson amid-t others, they met at stated ttitetvals,taking the different houses in rotation, dining at home at 12, asscm. j bling at 1 o'clock, and working steadily i for several hours. It was surpi i-dng how j much work got done, how many little pet- , tieoats and frocks were made in the long j afternoons. In less than a month it would j be Mrs. Thompson's turn to receive the company for the first time and she nat- J urally began to cousider ways and means. ' For they met for ati enlertaiumcnt as well j as for sewing, tea iu the afternoon, a graud , meal later when the stitching was over. j What was Mrs. Thomison to do? Their' stock of plates and dishes consisted of a ! lew odds and ends of cracked delt, that; had once been a kind of mulberry color JShe had long wanted some new white ware ! she wanted it more than ever now.

Mrs. Hubert Thompson disdained comment. "Vou'd not have thought of this but for the eewiug-circle having to come here.

The butter got : beaten savagely at the thought. 1 Robert Thompson was not an unkind : man, only thoughtless. Lie was a type of , a very large class, more especially farmers, who elo uot feel the need of life's rugged ; pathway being sottened with flowers. Absorbed in his stock, his crops, his money. ! getting, he e;id not realize how monctonou--; was his wile's life at home, lie had his recreations; the weekly market; gussip with his btother farmers, politics: she had nothing but work and care, lie did Pot realize the truth that the worn, shabby ' home told upon her, that she ueeded some ' . brightening to come to it as a yearning waut of life. And so, as the years had gone on, she grew dissatisfied at heart, hardly understanding what she wished for or what she did not wish, the intensely , unlovely, prosy, dull life somewhat sourinsr her spitits. Now and auain, when she gave back a short or bitter retort Robert wondered, she used to be so sweet tem pered.

Frank and Charley, her two boys came rushing in fiom school, each striving to claim her attention, bhe was heated, tired and very cross. "Why? isn't dinner ready? ' demanded Mr. Thompson, not seeing it actually on the table when he entered. "I told voa we hid no time to waste to-day," he e added angrily iu his hurry and hunger. "If I hadn t anything to do all the forenoon s ! but get dinner, I'd have it ready to lime, I know."

Mr. Thompson, aroused by a quiver in the tone, looked at his wife, his friends . . i . i glanced at one another, cue sal down at length, but could uot eat. Mr. Thompson ' i , 1 finished his dinner in silence He was watching his wife's face, there was something in it he did not understand a kindof patient, hopeless look, as - . - - ' - . ,p si,e no longer cared to strusrsile onward. The old mulberry ware did look diugy on the snowy white table-cloth; almost too bad for these chums of his to sit down to; he wondered he had never thought so before. Robert Thompson irrew thousht- . . f c o ful. He passed into the kitchen when they were going out again. How hot and stifling it felt with that big fire as bad as the south meadow. His wife had been in it cooking, that must have made her face rlct. In doors was not so comfortable a place after all, if you had hot work to , 1 - , ' ., j-.. , ., , ,. fresh, cool breeze had sprung un from the south, as he went out, walkio slowlv, but the sun was burning hot still. Bobert Thompson waited to wipe his brows; and iu that moment the voices of his comrades came toward hint from the other side of the liedjre, where thev stool in the little sUado iTca "I never pitied a woman so muohin my life." quoth one of them. "!She works like a slave, aud does not get even 'thank ye' for it from Thompson. He's a good te'low, but uueommon down upon the work, Strong as a horse himself, he thinks, I suppose, women must be the same." "Yes, Bob's a sterling !jood fellow, but Jane Lawrence made a mistake when she said yes to his asking," cried the other. "Jones, she wasn't cut out for a farmer's wife especially one who keeps bis folks to it like Thompson does. She's over sensitive delicate, auy lady but her would have turned long ago and bid himgivo her iii-dMip lv.il r-, I 1 i-i v nn1! 111 -i li ii V,i ninnpi .... .,( :e i. ,t.i..' i.,tlJ out vi it e 1 ii 1 a 11 v udi? li in. y i aic i 1.-.

The Lawrences used to have things nice in their home, and she'd got 'em so still if she'd married Joe. Ilis wife's just gone out iu her pony chay. I say. Jones, I wonder whether Thompson's wife's ever sorry?" Was she? The unconscious comments of these, his warm friends, came crushing down on Robert Thompson's heart and brain like a bolt of fire. That she rejecthis thoughts no longer, aud he felt that he could almost kill himself for his blind heedlessness. The afternoon wore on toward evening. Mrs. Thompson had finished her in-door work the washing up of the dinner dishes and putting of the rooms straight and was going in with an armful of liue things that she had taken from the clothes lines, when the sound of wheels made her look round. "I've brought that white ware, Mrs. Thompson, said the brisk voice of Grover, j springing from bis cart, and lifting down carefully a larro hamper. "But I didu't order it, Mr. Grover,' she ! rejoined, iu rather a frightened voice. "The master did, though. Mr. lhooipson came down this afternoon ana said tho things was to come uo to vou at once, i r . . l ...... i . j , i i - , . , . ttieres me dinner set j uuumi-u aim , the tea set as well. Where shall I put j em.' they washed all the weariness aud despair J from her face, aad tho shadow from her eves and heart. She forgot that she was tired, or that the day was hot, she only thought how kind liobert was, aud what a wicked woman she naa oecn ior say mg iu herself in her temrer that she'd rather hava had 'S.iuire Burnham. Ihen she unpacked the treasure, pulling them out from amidst the hay, and singing softly all the while. Oh, it was beautiful, that ware! with its clear, opaque white, aad here and there a delicate tracing of fuchsia or convolvulus. Mr. Thompson came in and found her iu the midst. "What is it, Jenny?" he asked the old fond name he used to call her. "O, Ilobert!" taking a step toward him. He opened his arms and drew her close to bis heart, kissing her as fondly and tend-

erly as he ever had in the days of his courtship. "I have been a brute, little wife," he whispered, huskily. "Can you ever forgive me?" "Forgive you? O, Robert! I never was

so nappy in my life! L have been blamel I have not been as patient and kind as I might.' "Y"es, you have. You've been an angel compared to me. I have made a slave of you; but all that is over now.

The majority of farmers who mark land do so by driving stakes. A much better and quicker method is to attach a re-mark or guide to the marker, so as to leave a line over which the team will go astride in returning. It is made by arranging a light shoe or ruuner which may be attached to (he marker by an arm aud hook, and which is let into an eye on the maiker. A cord runuing from this shoe to the outside hauie ring of the team and so arran ged as to be easily reversed from side to tide, each time across the field completes the preparations.

Companionship. It is very common novr-a-days to lay all the faults in social order, to society. So ciety is a vast fabric, upon which every one seeks to cast his own faults, his own to j shortcomings. It will be granted that society has faults, and grave ones too, but fault-linding ia not the way to remedy them. One of the greatest faults of society comes from the false notions of individuals as to what constitutes true sociability. The unit of structure in society is companionship it is the pat'r. It is the meeting, and an agreeable meeting, of two, and only two, for a given time. It is the social union and hearty sympathy of two souls, and of two souls ouly, be'tween which there can, by their very na ture, be sympathyr,.for a specified time. i It is not claimed that there mav not be ' more than two present, but only two at , time can unite in real comtianionship. . Only two can be truly social at any given mnmptit T.i Iia nrocpnt with, ia nnl In ho ja companion of, any more than to see a 1 person is to become that nerson.

and be socially popular. Po one thinks j of going into society for the pu-rpose of i being social. All but the uninitiated go merely to bore and be bored, to squander j time surrounded by splendor and prolusion. Gentlemen go into society to see the display of silks, lace, and jewels, and ladies j;o to make the spectacle, well knowing that at the party, as in the horse. market, the mest finely gotten-up auimals j bears off the palm. Pleasant, congenial, social i ntercouse, j any thing like leal companionship, is not ! thought of now.a-days except in select ! .gatherings of not more than six, i. c ,! three paiisat the outside, but more usually a tttc a-tcte of a single pair, for the simple reason that human beings natural ly prefer simplicity, and like most crca- : turcs will act naturally when not compelled to do otherwise. lalu persons are by nature fitted to be ; companions. True sociability therefore, j by nature fitted to be ; can only take place when spirits that are i compruionablc meet. Prosperity develops ! distinctions among men. People get rich quickly, aud riches must be displayed. ! Ostcntatiou is the order of the day. j Plainness, simplicity, is despised, the poor : imitate the rich. Phillis has the same cut of gown that Madame wears, while Lazarus disports himself in fine linen, It is unquestionable fact that everywhere there are dis'iuctious in society, and everywhere there are the same desperate shifts to prevent the distinction from being recognized. But here, as everywhere, shams fail. Kach individual in the end gravitates, like Ju das Iscariot, to his owu place. C onipauionship is a necessity Every J person craves it, and will have it in some form. One finds it in a book, another in ahale-ieliow well met, a third, perhaps, strange to say even in these days, finds it in the fair sex, finds not only a comnuniou but an equal. ft it no man ever finds rest in this world, no man ever enjoys life, till he is mated, till he finds that soul, either in man or woman, either in the bo ly or out of the body, that with his owu sou! unites and forms one. Companionship rests upon the principle of eternal friendship. The uivioc Architect of the universe stamped it with his own hand ur.on the f ui nit uie of I lie gaidi-n of Eden. And again when he is said tu j have revamped lhe world and set up the kingdom of heaven, he sent out his first servants two and two, i e , matud. Whcth er, therefore, these matters be truth or legend; the lessjn is the same, viz.: that the human family while it lives, whether in time or in eternity, is intended to go in pairs. It is human nature so to do. It is a necessity of man's nature to double up. It is au item of natural law, and be who breaks this law docs it at his owu im minent peril. It may be possible that the proper, the most fitting companion for one is of the opposite sex. It is only possible that such may be the case, it is by no means clear that it is. Even if such were granted it docs not follow that iu the present ordering of the social fabric that a man can in one short lifetime ascertain which one of the opposite sex is the right one, and experience shows that in a majority of cases, where this mode of coupling is attempted, it fails. Tlmre can be no doubt but that one's true companion is qnito as often of his own sex as of the opposite. The fact that .men enjoy the so ciety of men more thau that of women, and that men soon tire of the society of women, sufficiently attest this fact Friendships between men are for the uiostpirt more firm and lastiug than betweon man aud woman. The principal reason of this is that men have better opportunities to try the mettle of a male thau of a f ;ma;u

Here the social fabric is undoubtedly at faalf. Ia choosing a female companion, one of the most important events in a man's life, be has virtually but one chanee. He can not know the creature until he tries her and when be does this he can not, if she be deficient, rid himself of her except by, a process that is virtually worse than to keep her. The opportunity for the exercise of common sense afforded in the ordinary affairs of life are here entirely cutoff by tho customs of society. The sum of the whole matter is, there i a difficulty in keeping the law precisely, and a still greater diffi culty in not keeping it all. What then shall a roan do?

Pedigree wheat. There is an important field open here to the farmers, not only of the West, but in every section of the country. Each year brings advertisements of new and wonderful varieties of wheat, oats, barley, rye, and various seed. By careful cultivation, they have been brouirht up to a high standard of productiveness and quality, and are then sold at excessive prices. Uemg bought by farmers, and because they have cost so much-carefullT cared for, they become very productive, (and the cultivator is surprised at the difsuccessive re sowings, the seed becomes successive re sowings, the seed becomes plenty and comparatively cheap then it degenerates, or rather deteriorates, until it Rets "run out, as it is called, and becomes nothing more than common grain. Some varieties are more hardy, and will stand more abuse than others, but the principle holds good The most valuable grain has become a kind of weed. Take the Poland oat for instance one of the m- et valuable varieties we have. It has been known in England fur more than three-quarters of century, and has been known in thiscoun. try many times, as barley, oats, Irish oats, Scotch and Potato oats, and various other names, which it has taken from the locality where it was said to have last origins 'n a k'D0 of semi miraculous way.
