Nov. i3j S. Stanislas Kotska. 323
Paul was a frank, gallant youth, loving active exercise and
healthy amusement; Stanislas, delicate of constitution, and
of a shrinking disposition, loved solitude, study, and brooding
over his fancies. Paul could not understand a character the
reverse of his own, treated him as a milk-sop, and was discourteous and rough with Stanislas, trying to force him into
company, and to take healthy exercise. He was prqvoked
by his brother's reticence, his scourging of himself and fasting,
when his health required nourishing food, by his perpetual
gravity, when he himself was disposed to be merry. Stanislas fell ill with what appears to have been brain-fever,
and became delirious. In his delirium he thought he saw
a black dog running about the room, and jumping at his
throat. He shrieked, and made the sign of the cross, and
battled with his hands against the imaginary beast. Stanislas
thought he was dying, and as he and his brother lodged
among Lutherans, he fancied that he would be allowed to
die without the Holy Communion. Bilinski, the tutpr of the
two boys, afterwards canon of Posla, would not of course
have suffered this; he saw that Stanislas was not as ill as he
imagined, and deferred sending for the priest. But the
notion having entered his head, vexed his excited, fevered
brain, and gave occasion to his believing that he saw
S. Barbara come to him, accompanied by two angels, and
communicate him. He cried out to his tutor to worship the
Sacred Presence, and Bilinski, with intention of humoring
a sick fancy, knelt down. Afterwards Stanislas thought that
the Blessed Virgin appeared to him, and put the child
Jesus on the bed to play with him. On his recovery he
determined to join the Jesuit Order, but the Provincial at
Vienna, Father Magius, did not dare to receive him. He
then wrote a note stating his intentions, and ran away to go
to Father Canisius, Provincial of North Germany, at Augsburg. His brother pursued him, but Stanislas managed to
