EDITORIALS.

THE CONTRIBUTIONS from the grammar and rhetoric classes are, caeteris paribus, very credit:. ble essays. For the encouragement of the~e "budding geni­uses" rather than the entertainment or enlightenment of our readers, we publish these virgin efforts without ma'king any correction or further apology.

* * * WE WOULD ADVISE our fellO':V-0 , and general colle-gE! readers tv peruse the lecture by Prof. Swing, of ChLcago, on the genesis, or rather manufacturing, of " Literature." It is full of very common, but very true and very u-seful hints for young men who, as oursel­ves, are endeavoring to shape their "shapeless pens."

* * * TO BE GRATEFUL is a lesson .which-we must learn while yet very young and which we must put into practice every day. Gratitucle should be inborn in every child, a part of every man's nature. Nothing is so revolting, so monstrous as ingratitude . and that especially in the yet guilele~s heart of a child! We have all received blessings for which we should every day thank heaven. But sucll signal favors are sometimes showered upon individuals, families, nations, that it

seems fit to recognize these favors by-.:a~~ and en­thusiastic display 6£ the more than ordinary grateful sentiments which then fill the soul. We Americans have recei vect and are still receiving our large share of the gifts or an ~11 kind Providence, anq on ,our Thanksgiv­ing we gratefully acknowledge as gifts from on high our dear independence, and the universal prosperity with which our land is so bounteously filled.

* * * THERE IS ONE THING for which we must feel grate-ful, as Rev. Fr. Marsile remarked at the last reading of the notes, and that is tbe coDscientious interest our professors manifest in encouraging our diligence and in correcting our indolence. Should we students be re­minded of our dutiful regard toward our instructors by a pagan general, the great Alexander, who thought tilli­self as much ind~bted to Aristotle, his preceptor, as to Philip, his father ?-"For," saiu he, "one gave me the iife of the body; the other, the life of the mind," Indeed the one. who moulds the h~::art, . trains the mind, guides the soul, unquestionably makes "the man." We caqnot gainsay .that. As we are counselled, then, let us ever act, viz, study, play, read, practice, as if under the vigilant eyes of <•ur parents and we shall not fail to acquire healthy life <;>f lLmb, and of mind, and of heart-the wherewith to be useful members of society.

* * * HEALTH, as Harvey so strongly upheld in his spirit-

ed eulogy on " 'fhe Farmer," and as Charlie also prov­ed in showing the indispensibleness of "The Physician,"­health is a very great boon. Much of our mental work and success dep~nds upon our physical condition. We ought, then, to make it our concern to keep our mus­cles well strung, our cheeks well flushed, our nerves in equilibrium; gay spirits and a clear mind will result. Contentment everywhere willt·eign, and success be our

_easy prey. For that, exercise, open air sports, the bois­terous, obstreperous, vociferous games of the campus are the best recipe. Roll foot-balls, or snow-balls, or hand-balls; when the weather is too inclement (and it is rarely ever so) then, swing .the dumb bells, the in­dian-clubs, try the rope-ladders, the horizontal or parallel bars, etc. Be healthy, boys, and you can be hard students.

it DlUtl have been plunged in utter ignorance. Tbi is bmb unjust and unnatural. For we cannot exact au equal d~ of literary excellence from all count.ri and Limes. lo the whole range of hi!!tory we· find no period or regubtr ani tic culture which was not. preced­ed by a term ot inertooss, it might be styled, but wbicb WB!!, in truth, ll time or inventive fullness and poetic wealU>. Thus, prior to tbe ooys of • Jon there exi teil a period 1'eple\e witb heroic legends and mythological lcJre, but not prolific in llLerary productions. Prior also to the Augcllll;:Jn age, there flourished a time rich in lofty nnd ' ·ictorious achievements, yet not renowned !or artistic and relined literature. And who will deny Umt the Micldle Ages servecl in lieu of ncb a poetic pre-existence, when be reflects that these were the ages wbieb fostered the martial . pirit of the Crusades, the ages or c~ivatry, wbence ha'Ye been drawn the themes of t.be many mnsler-pieces and nrious love wngs of mod­em literature?

Why theu, some one mny nsk, is the history of me­rlirenl Limes marte the butt of so many unjust attacks? Listen, reader, to admit that ~he Middle .Age was one of pros]>erlty, of culture; tbnt. it ~ed advanl.ages which we of the Refhrmation period enjoy, would be a piU too bitter ti•r the ortlinary weak-minded Protestant historian to swallow. Hence his chief aim is to brnnrl tbat, nge in which Catholicity swayed the whole of civilized Europe. the age wbicb owes all it possessed to the influence or the Churt>h on the ' tate, M one of utter ignomnce, and comparable ouly to the condition of the savage. Accnrrling to him we would have begun IAJ live only sine•• tht> Reformation. Since then we have been regenem!Rrl. reformerl; anrl the hrillianc>y, the glory of the nlnew-enth century is the result of the nvble workings of l.other's intellect.

But. away with the ravings of such weak brains! He who poode~ well the canse of our present prosperity will place it in something more stable and Jl('rmament thftn Prf)testantism. And he wbn reflects seriously will twrceive in Cntholidsm the genn of true power~ and the pollen of rt'nl intellectnnl growth. Let us for a mo­mcn~ r'tlView the work or the L'hurch during the so-call­e•l "Age of Darknes.o.," ttnrl we will thereby JWrcei ve that. ~he lays a great claim to the pre.sent intdlectunl and material J>rogtl>t's of the n~.

Even AS far bnck ns the reign of Trnjnn laint traces ol decline wet"e not.icea'>le in the Roman power. These trncf.'s appeared even in the litemture ofthe age There are germs of decay apparent in every department and sect.ion of the J.;mpire; and at. la&t these germs had as­sumed sucb proportions M to clenot.e an altvady total rlecadeooo.. Then came the f."ll of Rome, the Rome of powcr;aod wilh it fell the Romenniterat.urc. Ruin, rlevus­tat.ion. rnpinc succeeded; and amid the g~neml corruption

the taste, the language and the nature even uf the Ro­IIWlS were tained. In this lamentable tate of atf.'lirS there was need of a mighty hand to raise this fallen, degraded, Mtioules$ ~ple from the depth into which they were prooipitated. Tbe Chri tian Religion, that religion heretofore presecuted by these very people was the one to protrer her aid; and by 'rni · ing her potent ~d terrify the Got.b, and rescue the Roman from tlte cruelty of un:nercifuJ captol"S. he now concentrated all her power in rnh<ing U1cm to the intellect1lal station whence they hatl fallen; raise them to power she could not. lienee began ~bat work or litemry regeneration in which the Clmreh bM so well succeedecl. B'irst howe\·er she bad to curb the fiery and r~tless pirit ofthose war­like nation that were now blended in one with the Romans. And then followed the til k of imbuing tbcm with principles of l'eligion, according to which aud not to those of nature, they might be governed. This WitS a grand work, a superhuman effort! How well the Church succeeded in it, the different nation of Emope con­verted from barbarism ancl paganism, attest. And, me • thinks, this is a plac~ of culture on which historians of the Midc.Je Ages have laid little or co stress. The perform­ance of her chief aim has never hindered the Church from spreading tl.ie seeds of learning with those of reli­gion. Nay rather, she bns ever understood th.at religion and knowledge are not only wholly complltible, but likewise emivent auxiliaries. 1-IePe~e in the past as in the present., the propagators of the Gospel were also pro­pagators of learning. Impartial, unprejudiced history tells us of the past; incontrovertible filets con vi nee us of the present.

When therefore, Christianity began to spread o\·er all Eut·ope, and became rooted in family and state ; when the propagators ofthe Gospel had sown the seed of knowledge, and earefully reared the plants sprung therefrom; and when, by the labors of energetic mis­!!ionaries the minds of the people were purg-Ni of the dross of pngan and nature worship, and raised t~• some­thing more grand and sublime; then indeed we might expect a marvellous outburst of genius. It e1une; and with it n great epoch in Literature. Yet had it not been for t.he interventionand aid oft.he Church, we might be but. on the dawn of this great epoch, which even is now at it~ close I •

Tho row ensu ing momen ts were spent in almosthreath­less anxiety during which the dread suspense grew more nnd more, au,] the king began t o fear th~t his curiosity would not be sat.io;:fiecl, but, God . knows, tha.t even if the prize was the crO\Vll of a king that a crown, at such a lwzzt r l wouhl be too dearly valned. For human minds sha ll neve r be sufficiently enlightened to clream of revealing t h.e gren.t terror, which li e~ concealed in the <l C[>th <; ·vf the occau .

The rapidly in creas ing nnen:;: iness of the :: pect~tors

was, only vivitlly prompted, by t1m seemingly lon<ler ant.! claarer souncl of the gu lf which seemed to be ever rio:ing ne;;rer and nearer, roaring and kiss ing and throw­ing its spray in all imagimtble di rections.

Thns hurri ~s un(tensingly on flood after flood and a sound like tha.t of dis ~ant t:hunder, rushes roarh1gly fourth fr vrn the bea.rt of the glo0m. Bnt. s·ucldenly, like ~he wiug of a cygne t, an arm and n 11eck g lances hurried­ly np frvm lhe fathomle~s tomb and bega.n steering ;; talwart a;:d shoreward, while the left hand, trinmpli­p,ntly up lifted wnved the golden goblet tlw too poor reward fur the b0y's dangerous feat. Aft1 ~r spending some minutes in recovering hi s hreatl1 he advanced, . and in a l;:neeliug postnre prese11ted himse lf to the king, who ealling h is !:laughter, fi·om amongst her friends, pnleretl her to pour some wine to the boy, who showed )lis gre;ttlle;;s by exclaiming,-"Long life to the King!"

He then r elated his ad venture in the following man­per. " l had no sooner t.ouched the water than I was peizetl by a cmrent aud hurl Nl clown with lightening ptpidity to Lhc depth of a fath9IJ1 wh(;) re I WR~ a~ain

!It was then, in the rlreact o.f my peect, 'that I call ed upon Gorl ; and he henrd mr, anrl vouchsafed to my aye, n. rock, whic:h proj ected on t of the t:iclP. of tbe grave that i,nte;Te<l me, to which I sprang anrl clUt'lg, anel, ·Lo! ri'ght before me wn:s the goblet whi ch lmrl been saved by a coral reef from the tat' Fathom less. \Vhile there awaiting the full restoration of my breath a nct new cou­rnge, I beheld the S;t lamader, snake, dragon and un­speakable swarms of reptiles clumped together in mere shapen masses, also the slow mo-ving hammn.r-fish,. and, with its white grimming teeth the terrible "shark,"_: the h.f ena of ocean.

The much marvelled monarch bad, all this time, been staring · vacantly nt the youth, I'.- ben at length after somewhat recovering himse lf h~e rl'qnestecl the youth to venture again, for the pmpose of furnishing him with 'fresh tidings of the great my steri es which li e concealed in the innermost main, offt?.ring him as a reward a ring

The intrepid youth stood, with heroic ho1,e shooting flame from his eyes, gazing spellbound on the btush in Umt beautiful thee, which suddenly pn.les, fl.ncl she lies,

Then, as one thought e.f the value o£ the guerdon flitted ' through hiti minrl, illuminating his eyes witll. racl hn t hope, h.e ngain, s tep­peel to tb t'! verge of the shore, an{! inhaling a short breath plunged hearl-long to life and to death .

ELECTION D.A, Y IN ACOU.NTRY TOWN.

Americans enjoy a privilege which scarcely any other nation confers upon her citizens: it is the right of choosing their sovereign ruler, the'h' ptesident, as well as all his subordinates. What a grave respo.Qsibility rests upon the American voter! No wonder election day cattses such a stir. The urban gent leaves his counting­house to spend the day talking politics, and the disciple of Cei'es hies to the nearest town to vote {or "his man.''

It was my fortune one Autumn to spend a few days at my unde's farm in Jndson County, Iowa, and it happened I arrived there before the election. The nearest town, Spiclerville, was four miles fi'om the farm. Every day of the first week I was at the far:m, my uncle would go down to the fence - toT the house and barn were on a hill- to talk the situation over witb neighbor Clark, or Sq'lite Buck, or Brother · Double bower, or some other neighbor, squire, or brother with a strange name and a still s~ranger physiognomy.

I never listened to but one of those parleys and · that chanced to be with Squire Buck. It was the ev·E>ning be­fore the election, uncle Dick was going down to the fence to nail a, board on aa opening, and I went along to be of what assis·tance ·I could. We had just gotten to the bottom of the hill when, what hove in sight but

Sq,uire Buck's sorrel mare and behind was the two­wheeled gig with the old Squire on the seat,, I don't think I sa~ him wnlk a step while I was in Judson County. - •'Hair yo'?" gn111ted the Squire. -"Tolerule, r ep li ed my nncle. -'•Spose you ' ll be on hand to-motrow?" -"Sartin ," and with that Dick and the Sqnire set to work "praisin" thii;; eandiclate and "dod-gnstiu'' Lhat one till I got tired he;uing them il.ud wandered back to the house. I went to bed quite early ar.d the last thing I heard my un cle s:1y was-"Sqnire Buck for road super­visor."

The next morning, election morning; we got up at half-pas t fou r. The chores, sur.h as milking and feeding were soon rloJJe. Afr,er a hasty br'e:ddast we hitched the old gray mare to the bqggy, if the concern . we rode in might be so called, nnd drove to town. Although the mare W;ts blind in the left eye, lame in the right-band leg, and bud roundect' her twentieth mile-post the pre- , vious spring, we made our entr,y :nto the burg of Spi­dcrville at abont ten o'clock.Spiderville bns a church, a general store, two flourishing saloons, and is one of the strongest probil•ition towns in Iowa. The polls were in the !ltore and here were congregate(] the voting ele­ment of the conntry fo,r severn] miles roni1d . WP. stool"! . around till noon, nothing important taking place, anct returned in the artemoon nftet• partn.k i,ng ot a l unch put up for us by Aunt Sal. I slunk into a corner conveniently near the ballot boxes and at the same time I had a chance t<, view the crowd.

There seemed to be none in the store but farm ers : farm ers, young, old, middling; some voting for the first time, .some perhaps for the last . And such a· B:tbel of voices. Everybody hustled and shuffled, hnrry ing first to this one then to the other praising in loud tones the merits of tbis candidate and rleuouncing in still louder terms the faults of his opponent.

As I turned my eye from this busy crowd it rested on two agriculturists in the corner opposite. One was a midd le nged n~an and the other was nearly twenty-two, about to vote no doubt for the fhst time. The form ­er was evidently trying to convince the latter of the merits or the demerits of a certain candirlate. He would lay the fomth finger of his right hand on the palm of his left, and at the same time let shoot a stream of tobacco juice at a crack in the fl oor, 'Which aforcsai(l crack had from all appearances been the target of many streams prior to this. The hanrls would then betflke themselves to the dark depths of the owner's breeches pockets, who would throw his bead on one side, rest upon his left foot and send forth another sq,uirt of tobacco juice. This continued for about fifteen minutes when the youth of twenty-two Winters seemed pretty well convin­ced of the m\tn to vote for and was about \,o move for

the boxes when a bell was r~ng, the polls had closed, the dye was cnst.. .

Now the elP.ctioneering ceaqed and t.he betting and the sw-earing commen ced, and the l)lOl'!~ they obet the_ more they swore. We stnyed till nJJout six o'cipck and as no returns were ann<)unce~l my uacle c0ncluded it would be prurl enttoreturn horne and wait till SquireBuckgot the returns on tbe morrow as he went to town every clay. About half a mile out fi·om th~ village just as we were crossing ''Vild Cat, creek some olcl people came out on the road and wanted to know the results, but we conld only disappoint them. When we gyt about a quar­ter of a mile from home I cti stil;guished a light about a hundred yards nheail of ns in the mictd le of the road. As we approacll ed I ctescried three female forms. They were Anntihlly, C•msin "Marian" anrl the baby, and were like the m:wy parties we had met ber'ore anx­ious to know th11 results. But we bact to disappoint them too. I got into bed as qui ck ly ns I possibly could tbn.t uight ,:wct I went to sleep n.s soon as my hearl toncherl the pillow. So ended \,he election day. I did not leave my uncle's for abnut a week . .IJ;very evening he woulct wnit p 1ti ently for :::;quire Buck and tbe minute be wou ld heave io sight, down to the teuce went my uncle anrl the Squire would grunt a lazy "\Yhoa?" There t hey wou ld stand freqnently for an hour at a time talki ng­over the election.

It is many years since I was at my unr.le's Ju1l~on

Country farm. I have nrver h•~ard whether Squire Bnck was made road snpervisor, nor even who was the lucky candidate at that election; but I do know that until I want a p J l itic~tl offii.:e, I will eve e steer clear of cuLm­try elections.

LITERARY PURSUITS

The towns ofthe nation and even the · farms o:f the west are rearing !L largP- army of youths who desire to become authors and thu::s reach wealth and fame. Their letters read about as follows: "I find my mind to

Somc€iine s a photograph accom,p~nh~s the model e~$ay, as thuugh to add .to . the testimo,uy of the essay the ev­idence of physiogn0Tny. N.ot uufrequently the pa.por is marked by imperfect g~:ar.nmar and spelling and taste, thus showing how the wish to be literary surpn.sses. the ,

. qualifications for such a form .._ f life. Snch au extensive tendency toward tlte literary fiejd must have some ade. quate ex1jhtnntiou. . . . , . . . , .

The c:nises ar~ many, chief among which is the spread of educatio'ri and ' the consl'lquent love of boo~s and thought. T o. love ai1ything deepl,v. generates the wish to produce 'it. In y ollth, when . w~ bear the violin or llute or piario, if th~ deep lov e of musk springs up, it is soon followed by the pnrchase of some instrument, be it only a drum or' a mouth harp. If there is n o money for pur­chasing such soundma.kers then comes an effort to m'ake an reo Fan harp out of a board a:nd silk thread-an effort which pnoves how willing old brains have a1ways been to impose upon the credulity ,,f children. The number of music-struck youths is large, b~t their passion lives and dies unseen and unknown. A few days or weeks of 11oise on drum or fife or fiddle, and all is still.

The n urn ber of sta,ge-struck youths is also gi·eat, be­cause tbe universality at)d charm of the theater awaken many slumbering souls, and out of this ~wakeuiug comes a longing to be upon the boards. The girlofsome beau­ty and grace sees a Miss Nelson or a. Miss Anderson, and 1?0011 resolves to take a few lessons of some elocu­tionist and try whether she too may not be a third Ju­liet.

But inae much as nothing of the beautiful io more wid espread or powerful than literature, it remained for this OJle .art to surpass all its_sistei: arts iu the power to create .tlm~· mental unrest which hungers for the 0ffice of writer. This passion is not as wild as the stage­marlness, but it attacks it m~JCb larger number of per­sons. The malady is .m01:e endemic. There are t.ens of thousands of youth iiJ. our land who wish to become writers.- a fact which has a bright side, showing as it does that education and the love of books are penetra­ting the village and even the farm-life of the nation. The yonng girl who milks the cows and who washes >tl1fl irons in the lonely farm:~ouse . rea?s, prose and sweet poetry, and then wonders whether she too might not tal•e a few steps t1p this hiil of thought, and leave her cow and bucket ftw away in the valley.

Per~aps she }lligbt: .Factory girls have become authors, hootblacl<s.have become Jl.hilosophers, and all dreams in

this field are honorable. The difficulty lies in the fact that tlle school bouse .ani:il oolle.ge hav.e created more writers than the· woTld requires. The power to speak and wri te the English languHge with propriety has outgrown t he need of the newspaper office and the wishes of tlie book­publisher. These attainments are valuable tJJat we tnay all read and tnJk and enjoy th~ continent of thought, and not that we may become authors. Unable to make a world;we are to enjoy one and become bet­ter in i.t. When, lately , n young lady sent this verse as a specimeH of ·her poeti c ability-

"0 moon, dea.r mo.on, X ou sink too soon! Can I persuade yon to stay And be in sight all day?"

she reveals nothing except a power to extract mu ch happiness from the . poetry of others, and in this she shoulrl ret t contented. F or her to write poetry hecnuse she loves it would. be as absurd as for all who Jove a vocal soio to attempt to render one in a church. The most of us must recite our poetry and sing our solos to our own heart. We are always sure of tllat local appro­vaL

A young man's model ~ssay began thus : "If I mis­take not it was remarked hy Lord B:1con that," etc ., beyonn which opening of things not one reaner ii1 mn,ny would ever pass. Without knowing exactly why, the re:>.ding world has outgrown that form of attack, anfl , with ''malice towarrl none," it. permits the thoughts which might follow s'uch an exordium to await the per­haps greater leisure for to-morrow. That kind of writing is not wicked. but writers are so numerous, hooks so countless, that the public taste has become very frtsti­dious. A Greek in Persia wrote back hom e that \.he "figs which we eat at Athens they throw a vvay here." Thus om country has become so well supplied with good li t­erature thn1, it throws away to its pigs the li terary fruit our gntndfathers would have put on ~heir table.

What are all those youth to flo who are hoping to be­come editor!! or book-makers? Some of them will secure their wish, but only those will he selected who shall be found to possess some pec uliar ab ility-=-some form of thought and expression not already worn out. The pub­lic does not seek what it already bas. The man who says "I tl).h:e my pen in hand to .inform you," came to our · worlcllong ago. We have him, and now have our hear ts set upon some other kino of person. The man who says "Emphasize honesty" and "Voice public opinion" an tl "could hear a pin drop" is already on band. The world has him, and is now thinkingofnewgoodsforanewtrade

It would seem that many thom and s of those . who dream of a literary pursuit must wait patient ly for one of two results-the dying out of a youthful passron or

' I t i ·· · .I 'PERSONALS.

Sh~.bert-John Shubert, '75, who had of late years condu::ted a mos.t successful business in his native city of Kankakee, has now abandoned his beautiful drug store to his bTother William, '78' and gone to pursue his COUI'Se Of medicine at Rush Medical College.

Singer-Arthur Singer, '82, attends the Harvard Academy in C!Ji011go, a school preparatory to Harvard University.

Murphy.-What a surprise was it not for us to hear that Henry Murphy, '86, of long and:oratorial memory, is now amid the inspiring western prairies, altogether g iven up to the study of law in O'Neil, Nebraska. A- · ·mong his many occupations, he still remembers St. Viateur's, and when he finds a chance to lay aside his Blackstone revels in the memories of the past. He has our best wishes. Bros!'eau-Arsene Brosseau, '85, the ''fat.ty" par excel­lence, is now .acting as clerk and book-keeper in Frazer and Blain's grocery store, Ashkum, Ills. We are told that he enjoys good health as usual and excellent spir­its.

Quirk-There seems to be among our Alum!1i a great movement to.stumy medicine. We notice that John Qtfirl}, '82, is also pursuing a course at Rush Medical College along with, tj:wse whom we a-lready mentioned. JJ;ay success crOWFl ,all. their efforts!

CATHOLIC NOTES.

Father Wood, an English monk at Rome, constructed the first pianoforte in 17:11.

Blaine's nephew, Gillespie Walker, has entered the Jesuit N oviciate at Santa Clara, Cal. _

Prince Joseph de Broglie, eldest son of prince Ray­mond de Broglie, has taken Holy Orders.

There are some 2,000,000 Catholics in England, Scot­land and WalE>s, out of a population of 30,000,000 souls, a far lower percentage than in the United States, or Ca­nad&.

Monsignor Straniero, after a vil!it to Amer!ca of four months, lately sailed from New York for Europe. This prelate's memory, along with that of Mgr. O'Bry­an, also papal ablegate, will long be cherished by the Catholics of the United States and Canada.

A French bishop, in a pastoral letter to his flock, expresses the opinion that the religious difficulties of France will perhaps before long become more- serious than ever. He warns the people of the dangers now pending and exhorts them to pray with even greater fervor an<! perseverance than heretofore.

Great hopes are entertaine•l that friendly relations will soon be re-established between Holland and the Pope. The former's dissatisfaction arose on the occasion of the definition of the Infallibility in 1870. About the middle of last month His Holiness gave audience to a Deputation of Dutch Catholics and encouraged them with most paternal words, bestowing his apostolic Benediction upon them.

Rev. Henry Sbamherg Kerr, S. J. has been designated first Archhishop of Bombay. The new Archbishop is son ot the late Lord Henry Kerr, a brother of the Marquis of Lotham, and in early life was a captain in the Royal Navy. He abandoned the sea and became a
