"A simple but most pleasing tale, with much local colouring about it to give it freshness and interest "-Month. "In these days of high-spiced literature it is gratifying to come across a tale like this of high literary merit, which refreshes one with its purity of tone and diction, its simplicity, and Celtic glow of fancy."-Tablet. "So pure and direct, both in its style and in its emotion, that it can well be available for circulation among the dear young people,' whom Henri Perreyve, when dying, so much regretted to leave. With what a charm the story is told the readers of former works by Miss Rosa Mulholland will easily guess."-Weekly Register. 66 6 The Wild Birds of Killeevy' is a pretty story."-Saturday Review.

Many of the Bishops and thousands of the Clergy have given it their support. It is got up, so far as mechanical execution is concerned, in fine style-good print, paper, &c. Its grand aim is to afford reading that will elevate and instruct the present and rising generations. To preserve their Faith (dearer to them than life), the rising generation must be taught to respect the land of their fathers "More dear in her sorrows, her gloom, and her showers, "I have perused with much delight several numbers of DONAHOE'S MAGAZINE, and I take pleasure in stating that it belongs to that class of elevating literature of which there is much need in this country. It is thoroughly Catholic, and its patriotism is sound and healthy, free from that wild enthusiasm and visionary madness which pervades some Irish-American periodicals.

HIBERNIAN HOUSE, 14 to 18 ASTON'S-QUAY, DUBLIN. THE WEEKLY REGISTER, A CATHOLIC FAMILY NEWSPAPER, "Is undoubtedly the most | Established in 1849 by the | "The model of what a Capublic-spirited of our late Henry Wilberforce. tholic Journal ought to be." papers.' "CAREFUL TO KEEP THE UNITY OF THE SPIRIT IN THE BOND OF PEACE." THE WEEKLY REGISTER is written by Catholic Journalists for English-speaking Catholics, without distinction of Nationality. Its teachings are those of the Church; its principles are those which are everywhere cherished by Catholics; its politics those of the Sermon on the Mount. On lines laid down by the CARDINAL ARCHBISHOP of Westminster, and frequently enforced in leading articles by his own pen in its columns, the REGISTER has for some years striven to form a good understanding and to foster amity between the Catholics of England and Ireland. Thus, though published in London, the REGISTER duly chronicles the history and hopes of a Sister Nation, to which it never forgets that English Catholics for the most part owe the possession of the Faith. The DUBLIN LETTER contributed by a lady under the familiar initials "R. M.," like the ROMAN LETTER appearing in the same columns, is unique in interest and authenticity among the Correspondence published in England by either the daily or weekly Press. ILLUSTRATIONS: The REGISTER publishes week by week sketches in illustration of current events, such as portraits of Catholic celebrities, and drawings of new churches or convents opened in England and Ireland. THE REGISTER is sent to any address in the United Kingdom for THIRTEEN SHILLINGS PER ANNUM Prepaid. There being no charge made to Subscribers for postage, the cost of each copy (32 pages, handsomely printed upon good paper) IS ONLY TWOPENCE-HALFPENNY. THE REGISTER Offices are at 43 Essex-street, Strand, London; and the Publisher (to whom Cheques and P. O. Orders [Fleet-street Office] are payable) is Mr. JOHN SINKINS. Subscriptions can begin from any date. 43 ESSEX STREET, STRAND, LONDON. MATER INFIRMORUM HOSPITAL, UNDER THE CARE OF THE SISTERS OF MERCY, Opened by the Most Rev. Dr. Dorrian on the Feast of All Saints, 1883. The above Institution is established for the relief of the sick and dying poor without distinction of Creed, and will be supported by voluntary contributions. Whilst the spiritual wants of the Roman Catholic patients will be particularly cared for, the religious convictions of other denominations will be scrupulously respected. Aid will be denied to no one; to be sick and destitute will be the only necessary passport to its wards. The Sisters of Mercy, under whose care it has been placed, undertake to conduct it strictly on the principles of its model, the Mater Misericordiæ in Dublin, which after upwards of twenty years' experience, has earned the generous support of men of all shades of opinion and politics. Subscriptions and Bequests will be gratefully received by the Sisters of Mercy in aid of the above Institution. |
