ST. VlATEUR'S COLLEGE JOURNAL. 153

Among those whom we kn ew as stud ents appeared one who bad been our Prefect of discipline, the witness and in many cases the object of om sclwmes and tricks. In the middle of a group of familiar faces, sat l\Ir. L~­bert " who if severe in aught the love be bore to order was in fault." We will not mention om many little escapades with our esteemed friend which served to break up the monotony of dull days.

And yet there was another face wbi<:h blasted all the pleasant emotions which the others aroused an<l caused a tear to rise unbidden to the eye , and a pm1g of dis­appointment to the heart. \Vhen he left us t1ro short years ago we looked upon him with pride and admira­tion for we beheld in him those talents and virtues which promised a brilliant future. Bni, d e~th marked him for his own and all that remains of that massive brow, and honest eye of Alphonse Legris lies in the quaint old churchyard a few paces from our sanctum. Kind friends have erected a handsome mon ument to his memory , but a more lasting monument of affection keeps his memory fresh in ~ ll his schoolmates' hearts. There are a few of •)ur pictures treasured as invaluable, recalling as they do our com panions of the past. At some other time when convenient I mny let y on have a glimpse at some more.

CHA.PTER I .

Brest is an old seaport town in t he north of Fmnce. It hns a f1mous mi li tm-y lwspitnl, nml its people, cele-

bmtcrl in t im es past for their hilrdih oocl :mel bravery, preserve all t he quaint c ustoms of Brittm1y - woocl en shoes, hig t, bonnets, short clrcsses, brond hats , and hold by the tradi t ions of ancestry wit h the regularity of un­ch ang ing time; not nnlikc, in this r espect, the fogs and m ists overhnnging t he old town itself, which invacl e it a t alm ost a ll seasons of th e year.

In this olcl town, in th e year 18-, li ved a fhmily whose name wns DeNoyer. The r ecord s of the nobless~ of France, ancl especia lly of Britta'lY, reveal no prouder or more inclcpen(lent nnme than D e Noyer. In the wars of H enri JV. t he name fi g ures prominently , and a mar­shal 's bnton was t he honor 1nvardccl one of the foun ders of thi s fltmil y, whose latest representat iv e becam e a v agrant in Pari s nn cl a r efu gee iu London and New York.

At the periocl when thi s story ofr cnl life begins, th e fhmily consistecl of four perso ns, De Noycr , p ?:1·e ; his wife, a daughter just m erg in g in to womanlt oocl, and t he hero of n hu nclrecl nd ventores in the near fntnre, L eon G ustave,who, bnv ing completed his twen t ieth yen r and at the same tim e his ed ucati on in Paris, st ood rtpparent­ly in th e full f1n sh of a bright fut ure in the career of th e law, whi ch he in tend ed acloptin g as a profession. Phy si­cnlly nncl momlly t he yonng man was a different being from the unpretentious y on th, innocent in h eart and slend er in frame, who h ad quitted Brest on l y six years before to receive nt a g reat univ ers ity the trnining necessnry i()r a successful r ace in life. Time had d evel­oped hi 1~i nto a fu ll-grown, spl enclidly mad e man. He had been r emarkably snccessful in his st11cl ies. Gradn at­ecl with full honors ancl a t th e hen.cl of his eln ss, be ·wns de t erm in eel to conquer a high place in hi s profession. One thing, howeYer, hung liln~ a clon cl over a hori zon oth erwise .cheering to his vis ion, nncl with ever deepen ­ing shadow seemed to mar th e outline of hi s j oyous anticipati ons. Brest was a goorl place-h is home, it is true; but Paris, wi th its hroacl aveDu es nncl boulevards, its theatres, i ts C<~fes , its gard ens, its librari es, its mu­se ums of art, its lig hts, its a bocles of pl eas ure, had won the heart of the young m an. Now he wns home, •' in the quiet nest of the household," as his moth er tcrmerl it; bnt the lit.tle town, with its narrow streets , its one or two theatres, its clingy, smoke and mist-clouded atmosphere, wn s more than he could endure.

The f,un ily of Gustnve De N oyer li v ecl at thi s tim e in good sty le, bnt without di splay, in the npper por-tion of the town of Brest . The hou se was spacious, ami though n ot affor d in g, per1::aps, the largest amount of lux ury, yet, was amply provided with conveniences. The De N oyers had always been faithful t o th e ancient reg·ime, and, like m any old families of France, had suffered deeply by the frequent changes or government ineiclent t o th e ad vent of the F irst Empire.

pri· claus un r~seau de gardiens de to ute espèce. Ce n'est pns assez d' être surveillé eu cbsse ct en étude; il faut que nou soyons espionnés jusque clans nos jeux. Nos amusements eraient si gais, nos ébats si joyeux, nos éclats de rire si francs, si nous étiou~ libres; ma.is uou ! T ous nos pas, tous nos détours sont conn us de ceux qui nous entourent. Rien ne !eue échappe. L'Argus de la filble ayec ces cent yeux éta it moins vigilant(\ épier les clémarche de lïnconstant Jupiter que nos maîtres ne le ont :1. découvrir les nôtres. Je le ais pnr

, expérience ils s'attachent :l nos talons; je suis las d'un tel espionnage.

li me fant plu n'essor, plus de liberté : et dès aujour­d'bus je demande ù mon pt':re de me mettre au x écoles publiques. Ah ! hl on entend les chose . Les devoirs finis, on nons laisse à nou~-ruêmes. :;'\'est-ce pasj us te~ omrnes­nons condamnés :1 une enfance éternelle? Ne pourrons­nous jamais faire un pas sans nous appuyer ur nos maîtres, comme l'enfant c!Jancelant qu i s'attache :\ l::i. main de sa mère' Xon, la nature nous montre tout ici­bas grandissant et YiYant par soi. La frè le tige, né du gland, bientôt affronte les fureurs de l'ourag;;.n. Je lis déj:\clans tes yeux que tu npprouyes mon dessein, Yicns etjoins toi à moi.

FRF:D.- Tu tc trompes; loin de t'approuver, j e te eonrlamne. Comment! tu appell es espionnage une sur­veillance néce~saire et qui est en même temps si douce ct ~i patemelle? Quel a hus étrange de mots! C'est vrai, nos maîtres sont cvnstnmment aYcc nous, mais cc sont de vrai;o anges protecteurs et non des espions. Ils sont autour clenou~, nous couyrant de leurs ailes, écartant

' le~ piéges que cles ennemis cachés tendent à notre inPxp(·rience, nous montrant la noble voie de la science ct <le la Yertu. Leur présence, loin de glacer notre gaité et no::- joies enl;<ntincs. ne fait que les accroître en gngnant leurs regards et leur sonrires approbateurs.

1 Celui qni n'a rien à craindre de Dieu, n'a rien;\ r clou­ter d'eux: et si le coupable peut éch~pper rlla vigilance de l'homme se soustraira-t-il à ln vue de celui qui a fa it le t.~ n(·hres cornm'3 la lumière?

L'culant q ui ne reçoit a ucun enseig nement relig ieux , presque toujours perd sa foi et bien souvent ses mœ urs.

Quel ~nse ign emen t te sera donn é dans les écoles publiqnes ? un ense ig nemen t <l' indiftér ence religieuse.

a ppris a chasser l' idée de Dieu de la société, à considérer le Chri"ti:m isme, comme une chose du passé. Qui maiu tenant, dans notre chère République, autrefois si sévère dans ses m ::eurs, a ouver t la digue à ce torrent de t:orruptions, de Yols, de suicides et de meurtr es qui menacent de nous inonder ? C'est toute un e gén"ra tiou qui a été formée clans ces maisons d' oü la religion est bann ie, comme l'enn emie mortel de la société! . . .... Ah: que de parents pauvres prépar ent, nonseulement ;1 l'état, m .. is aussi ù eux-mêmes des malheurs irréparab les, cl rs chagrins sans fin.

On r::t pporte qu e Dyonisus. le tyran, offensé rlcs repro­ches sanglants qu e lui avait adn ssfs le P hilosophe Dion, r ésolut d 'en tirer une éclatante vengeance. Il fit son fil s prisonier, mais au lieu de le met tre à mort , il le confia ù u n pn·fesseur sans foi et sans mœurs qui l'instruisit dans la clébauclle et le crime. Quand il fu t tout ;\ fait r ervcrti, Dyonisus le renvoya. à son pt re po :n· leq uel il devin t un to urment de tous les j ou rs, une mn lérl ic­ti on et un opprobe pour ses eheYeux blancs. P enses-tu qu e ton père consente à devenir son propre bourreau ? Crois-t u qu'il expose celui qui doit être sa joie et sa consolat ion ~i faire la bonte et le désespoir de ses v ieux j ours? Non, tl est t rop ja loux de son llonneur et t rop chréti en pour cela.

Les protestants eux-m i'> mes comprennent q ue la reli­et la discipline ne eloi l'en t pas être ex c lus de l'éd ucation : aussi envoient-ils en g rand n ombre leursfilset leur ' filles dans no:; institu t ions; c'est d e hl qu'ils leur rev iendront, portant dans leurs âmes toute la fraîcheur de l'in nocen­ce et sur leurs fi.·onts l'auréole de la cancle:1r et de l ' intell igence. Ils ne croient pns que le tem p?ctestiné ;l former le cœur soit un temps perel li : cnr c'est là que .,; iseut tous le::; tré::~o rs de la sen;:;ibilité et cl'oü v iennent ees grandes pensées q ui font les héros; ct c'est ]a relig ion seu le qu i peut opérer cette œuvre subli me. Oui : :;a main seule peut pénétrer clans les myst ér ieux replis du cœur sans le b riser et t i rer de cette lyre humaine, d es harmonies d 'une sua vité toute céleste.

E uG.- Comme toi, cllcr am i, je snis que sans religion il n'y a point de moralit é, que toute vertu qui n 'est point fondée sur elle m~nque par la base et qu 'e lle s'évanou ira au moi ndre choc; aus:<i j e ne veux poi nt me soustraire à sa bien!aisante influence. .iHai:; chaque chose a son temps. Les connais::mces de la fvi doivent nous venir par les lèvres cie 1106 pa rents et par celle:; du prêtre: le foyer paternel, le temple du Seignenr, voilà ] CS lieux bénis oli sous les regards de nos mères et de:; anges nos recev rons les enseignements divins . .Jinis les écoles el oi vent être les sanctu:ürcs de la science; nous y v enon que pour y puiser ces connaissances qui per­fectionneront notre raison et embelliront notre intelli­ce des v érités les plus sublimes.

FRE D.-- Tu ne ti1is pas une assez lnrge part à la reli­gion ; elle est une mère vigilante qui ne doit point per­d r<: d e v ue les doux ct tendres fruits de s<•n amour.

L' education est une œuv re d e tous les jours, d e toutes les heures, de tous les instants. Quand l'enfant, cet être si fa ible, tombera , qui le r elèvera? qui le J étournc­ra des ma uvais ex emples qu'il aura à tou t moment sous les yeux? q ui appliquern les rem( des convena bles sur les plaies m ortelles que de tàux amis auraient pu faire à sa j eune âme? Qni ? Ce ne seront. p as ses par ents qu'il ne reverra que le soir et qui sont ignorants de clan­ge:·s sans ce.-;se renai ssants, ni le pr , t re qu'il :1e verra que le dimanche à peine. Ce sera le maître dévoué qui sa .u·:l a lli er ~\, nue haute science les principes religieux , et qui, étant à tonte he ure sur le théatre o··· s'engagPnt pour ses ttnclres pupilles d e si rud es combats, lem· mon­trera dn doigt les embûches de l'ennemi et les conduira à la v ictoire.

Comment v oulez-vous q ue l'enfant ne conçoive pa 3 cle l 'incl ifférance et dn mépri s pour sa foi, lorsq u'ils consùcrera la plus plus grande partie de son tem ps ;\l'étud e des sciences profanes et qu ' il ne donnera que quelques instants à l'acquisition de la pl11:< noble des connaissances? Tout le jour, on lui par lera de chiffres, de géographie, d 'histoire, m~tis de "('ligi •. n, po int. L ' en f.'lnt élevé sous un tel syt.: me, con­sicl 8rera la religion comme un habit, bon seulement pour ]p rli manchc et qui doit Être mis de cAt é le r este d e> la ~ema ine cla ns les rappor ts et les transactions de la vie. P eu ù peu il en v ienclraù cette conclusi.ou-ci soc iaux qu'après: to ut la r elig ion est une chose second~ ire et d e bien peu d'im porta nce; autr ement ou lui donnerait une aussi hrge part qu·à to ut ce qu' il ~pp ren cl, comme Jl .~ cess ;lite

;\ :-:a fu ture carrière. Quand il aura grandi ainsi, il dev iendra un de ces catholi qu es de nom, qui connais­sent bien mieux le chemin de l'auberge que celui de l·Eglise, qui ne vo ient le prêtre que deux foi s dans lem vie: po ur se marier et pour mourir. Quel triste un ion et q ne !le triste mor t!

Et penses-t u parce que la relig ion préside aux études q u'ellc les affaiblisse? Détrompe toi, elle uc fera q ue les f~woriser en inspirant aux élèves un plus g rand am our pour l'accomplissement de leur devoir. D'ailleur l' instr uction catholique clans aucun tJge n'a ét?; in fé ri eure à l'instruction protestante ou athée. Consu lte l'Histoire, et elle te dir ... que dans les temps modern es, il n'y a eu q ue rlt·IIx ~ i ·des littéraires, le ~ sièc les de Léon X et de Louis X lV. deux siècles catho liq ues q ui ont jeté un immor tel ~clat sur les nations q ui les ont produi ts com me sur l'h uma­nité tout entière. Mais po urquoi clone se montre-t -on sou1 dt\ l'ex pér ience de la raison et des siècles? C'est qu'on veut, en cl8pit de to ut, le renversement de l'ordre religieux et soc ial ; et l 'on comprencl que r ien n'est plus propre à atteindre cc but pervers qu 'en em pê­chant la religion de pénét rer dans le cœ ur de la jeunesse·

One morning, a few months after GustaYe's return from Lhe uninrsity, as the family were breakfhsting, the young man sncldenly announced his determination to return to Paris.

•·Impossible, my son." said his mother; "you hav e but just come back. Surely you IYOtlld not wound your father's heart and mine by le:wing us so soon? Besides, your father bas made such provision for you as 11·ill accompli h all you d esire, and we can a II of us li Ye together.''

··I must go back to Paris, mother, there to finish my law studies, as I did my classics and philosophy."

" You prefer then, ,:ir, the society or skwgers to t he bosom of your fam ily?'' and the littber glanced angrily at his son.

''I must go to Paris ,'' replied GustaYe. As he r epeated the woHls, be arose from t il e tttble

and attempted to lea ve the room. Hi:; :;ister, who hnl1 been a silent witness of this hC~sty

and il l-concer ted scene, threw her arms abont his neck. ' ·Oh, my brother, do not leaYc us; do not lea 1·e our

1om rcprc~entati I'C in company with Prof. l\Iaher were the gue~ts of Rev .. l ame:; Clancy of this town on the f1th. liLt. illl-itetl thither to be pres-

ent at the nuptinls of l\Ir. James Reardon and 1\Iiss JUary Riley-the latter a cousin of my traveling companion. The ceremony took place in the evening and the con­conrse of fi'iends that "11-a s present to wi8h the happy coupl e a Gor1 -speed in their new journey of life was large. The Rev. pastor performed the ceremony with the customary solemnity bestowed upon all acts of the church for the welfare of her children, and his after­remarks upon the occasion of such nn event were ex­ceedingly approprinte and felicitous. The wedding at the home of 1\Ir. Renrdon Sr., 11·as a brilliant affair.

Magnifi cently laden tables, filled with the choicest delicacies of the season- a rich wedding-cake in the center that 11·oulcl make a small boy smack his lips for a life-time- all >Y ere conspicuously notable lit up with numerou , jet of dazzling l ig ll t.

Couple to the number of fifty or more sat clown to supper, ourselves, of1·ourse, not forgetting to follow su it.

Dancing, singi11g and merry-making in general were kept up till the tee sma hou?'S of the morning :mel even then the sweet strains oi our friend Cavanaugh and his formidable rival were sounding still. .Among t he notable visitors fi·om abroad \Yere JUr. and Mrs. Whalen of Bu ckingham, the Misses Maher of \Vilmington, Miss Roland of Joliet, Mr. J Cavf\naugh of Wilmington, Prof. Riley of Heclick, Dr. Baker of Oshkosh and James i\Ie.nyrnan the elite caller from Union Hil l. The nuptial life of Mr. all([ Mrs. Riley was certainly begun under very E\uspicious circumstances and we trust that their futmc career may be as pleasant and as bappy. -
