LOUISE LATEAU.

Last October, M. le Cure", of Bois d'Haine, was ascending a ladder in his new church, when suddenly lie fell down and broke one of his ankles. He was a long time getting well, and he is still somewhat lame.

On the 12th of last March there was at Bois d'Haine a hurricane so violent that it threw down the magniacent steeple of the new church 3 ust completed, and broke open the roof in several places, and also several of the windows. The damage is very con siderable, and it is all the more sad because this new building was really a monument. ° M It is thought that the demon, who has no longer the power to molest Louise, is revenging himself on M. le Cure" and on the magnificent church built by the gifts of the pilgrims. For three years ago, Louise was very much molested by the demon who sometimes maltreated her very severely. But for over two 'years that power of the demon on her has ceased, and she crushes him by the simple invocation of the name of Jesus. Truly Almitrhtv God is admirable in His saints; and if Louise Lateau is wonderful by the phenomena which surround her, she is still more wonderful by her humility, by her obedience, by her simplicity, and by her heroic charity. r ' * er One cannot go to Bois d'Haino and see Louise Lateau, without a renewing of faith, and without a greater love towards Our Lord who gives us, m this, His crucified servant, an emblem of what Ha has done for us— Theodore in ' N. Y. Freeman.'
