Rev. Fatller j',Lu5ile-

llfy Deur Father : Ha vi og promised to send .\·on for the --Co!J ege Journal" a few hints about the character ot muching and nmch life, I will grae:p t he opportunity offered by a few mome1~ts ofleisure to t.hrow dow n in hai:cte ~nch te:1tmes of t!J e bus iness as are uppermost in my mind.

Rmching as the term is now applied (tho' origin rdly m eaningjannwg from t ile Spanish worclranc ho) is a term nsecl to describe the business of cattle ra ising in the fin·

W e t. It::tpplies to the following states and territories­Kansas, Indian Territory, Neurao;ka, ' Vyoming, l\Ion­t:tna, Colorado, Utah, 1\evacb, Cnlifomin, Arizona, New l\[e:s:ico and Te:s:es- of which geographical divisions the area is thirteen hundre:l thousand square miles; or it represent~ a supet'jicies equal to more tlian one third of Europe! Of this v:Js t region, so rich in ores ; precious metnls, coal and timber, and mnrblc [lnd stones, Texas, New l\Iexico, Arizona, Color[ldo, Ut::th, Nev::tda, and California formerly belonged to old l\Ie:s:ico, and before she lost them she was third from the larges t Jl01'1''u _in the world on the b:1sis of superficial area. At the time we got them , these regions wer2 little else that what they were descr ibed to be- "a howling wildemess"-infested by fi erce bc::sts and by the still fiercer men, and by virtue of their very vastness protected from the np­proach of civilization. Bu t by the same pa s!"ion which inspired nil the discoveries of Columbus' successors, (a passioi1 whi ch was even. more or less sensibly, mingled in the high motives of that great man himself)-the passion for gold has in the hnncls of Providence furnish­eel the means of taming this region. It be.gnn first with the discoveries of gold in California, when to get these r equired perils many by ln.n(1 ::tncl by sea whieh wonl r1 have thwarted anything less resistless than the atlri sacra. jmnes-the accurse('l hunger for money . From '4-\J therefore chtes the beg:nning of the change which has fin nlly pnshed the steel rn.il l•y four different routes ov er vast plains, through rugged mo nnt::lins, along rnn ri ng torrents and over weary desert, to the ver,y shores of the Pacific. So that the earth is held by new bands of man's making, and natural barriers exist but no longer to bar. Such is th e r egion in which ranching is one of the principal sources of wealth-ancl so much I h:tve

LEO X. AND HIS AGE.

Looking hack through the centmics it is a pleasing a]l(1 beautifu l sight to beholcl conchcd behind the stor­my epoch of uprising Protestantism a calm bright peri­od of purely Christian progress and elll ightenment, a peri0d ornamented with the finest creations of gen ius and rendered illustrious by the gal:lxy of master minds which it produeccl,. Our own nineteenth ceutury may boast its steam and electricity, of its thousand :mel one in ventions which have nlmost set labor at naught, of tile easy anrl rapid means which it hus devised for the spread <lfknowleclge ::..mong the masses, and above aU for the hitherto unparnllelecl progress which it b~s mac1e in the developm ent of the physical sciences; yet if we look tor real perfect ion in art and literature, if we look for ·t he purest strains of the muses, or for those inimitable produetions in sculpture anc1 painting which bwe won j(Jr their masters the title "eli vine", >ve m nst go back he­yond the clays .of the so-called Reformation to that gold­en era in histOl'J of the Catholic Church when the chair Of St. Peter was occnpied by that munificent patron of of learnil1g, Leo X. The day which succeeded the night of the Middle Ages had long cln.wned, and was even

t~~en consic1erably advanced. Already tlie chivalry of Enrope kt<;l ·, ·etu rned victorious from the plains of the East ; already Gothic piles of sublime arch itecture were towering to the clouds, while genins was diligently fathoming the d('pths of Phil0sophy ancl Theology; but it wns not until the time of Leo X . that learn ing burt:t f..>rth in nll l~er ~plendor, or that art nnd li terature be­beJel tbdr pnlmiest days.

It wns in Italy more than in :n;.r ot'.her part ot Europe t.h~t this ''ouclcrful ruvivt11 of learning took place. Tllroughont the long period of the l\lid(lle Ages, \\hen all abou t wns clnrk, t hat country St;emecl to preserve a spar!;: of her former li ternry great­ne~~, which in the gencr::~ l rev ival of art and letters ~enred ns :t torch for the otber nations of Enrope, and which at tbe beginning of Leo's reign blazed up in such a bright anc1 S]Xlrkling flame as to excite the >Yonder and admiration of mankind . It was under the munificent pn,t.­ronnge of that great and learned Pope, that poetry, musJC, pa.intiug, sculpture, in a word, everything that art rmd literature comprise, attained to a degree of per­fection which to-cby we aim at in vain. Born of the illus­t rious house of Medici, n,nd educatel1 with a ll the care and skill of tbe wisest tutors then in schools of Europe, Leo, at t ile time of his call to the see of St. Peter in151 3, was a mnn of the finest intellectual attn.inrnents, posses­sing not only a. mind deep and far-reaching . bu t espeGi:1lly a pure nm1 highly cult i vn.ted t::ste, as well as an nrdent love for all that was good or beautiful in literature or art. Upon his elevation to the pontificr.te the most sanguine hopes of the artists and li teni.ti of his time seemed on the point of Leing realized. Nor were such expectation groundless. The new Pontiff, far from clis­counlging those lovers of art or f~t vorites of the muses in their efforts to ad vance, not only held out to them pr:zcs and rewards for superior productions, but even entererl b i mself into their various pursni t.s and aided them not less as a patron t!.lan as a compa.nion. Under these circnmstances Italy soon became the "promised lancl of the intellect,'' and Rome the starry center of the literary firmament.

It was then t lmt the works of J:>Jato, Aristotle, Homer, Cicero and Virg il, tl!Csc lights of the ancient world , made pleasant eompnny for the t housand youths who hact songht the comtof Leo to satiate t heir thirst for knowleiige. It " ·ns then, too, that the Jang n:1gc of the great 1\fantn:m nn<'l t h:1t of the blin<l 1Jnrc1 o1 o~d , h:wing charm ed the leam ed by th ci r beanty ::m<l elegance , were ngnin cnl tivnted with renewed vigor , ant! employed on ce more ns t he choicest met~ium o l song. Tr uly it w~ts a second Au gustan nge of llom::m literature. The Lc:1Ut.ifnl stmins ofthe L:1Un :mel Itali«n muses like siren songs, hung upon t)Je ·wings of the zephy rs, :ln<l dwnn cd into ecs tnsy the soul s ofthe lovers ofthe li terary art. The sweet aml delicate nirs of Petrn rch were heard ngain in the lovel y t ones' of cnchnnt ing P vli­tiano. Vida sullg hi5 Chr ist iod in verses of Augustan purity, and Ariosto in his Orl:lndo · Fur ioso ri v:1led, for grrrce and energy of poetry, t h~ nthor of Jerusalem Deli vererl.

The twin arts of scDlptmc and painting r ecC'iv ed . l ikewise a share of the Pontiff's muuiticence: The sul)lim e structnre of St. P eter's, wh.ch is to-day the glO I'." of the Chr istian world and the pri<le of Rom au archi tecture owes its heavenly gmndenr to tbe inJmortal M ichnc l Angelo, the very frngmcnt~ of ~.- hose work have since b(!en priceless treasures to lovers of the sculptural mt.

Such was the refore the fl ourishing state of art and li terature ·which marked the reign ot Leo X. Ito.Jy had become, as it were, a vnst nnnery of genu is. SOJ,Jgs of poet echoed from every side; phi losopl1ers could here and there be heard discoursing nud debating u pon the deep questions ofPl.tilosopby an d Theology; while scnl p­tures·and painters were every where represeriting, in marble and on et1.n vas, such masterl y represQ)itations ns woulrl stir the depth of the coldest heart. n;q)py wo nk! i t have been for the world had this prosperous st :·,te of affairs cont inued. But an em of devastation and <l istruc­tion wr.s at hr.ncl. In the heart of Germ any a storm was for some time gathering, whicl1 soon burst forth and spread over Europe with teniD.c v iolence, overturning and subverting all social. order , destroy ing the fairest creations and productions of gen iLl S, checking the fur­ther march of intell ect, and lenving in its trail naught

J.,ut ruins and desolation. This was the so-'calleLr Protes­taut Retbrmati011, the dire effects of which history bu.t too well attes ts. But Leo X by a kind cl espensntion of providence, wns wi th-hel<l from witnessing tbe worst o f >

these l u:trro~dng sceues. Bef'ore the real extent of the ev il was felt or known, be was called to bi..s Tewar d in Heaven, having oecupied the dw.ir of St. Peter wme­tbing over eight years, and hav ing (1nring that time go­verned t ll e Cllmcl1 with wi s<1om and abi lity; preserv ing her f 1·om allroy:Ll encroachm ents, and positi vely refu­ting in lli s every act the nnjnst dwrge whid1 h[IS been ofLen broug·ht up ngainst her, of beiJlg averse to the cu ltivntion or impro vement of mt and li teratnre. It was truly a sa<'l cby for gen in8, 1rhen Leo ·x wrrs 1;0 more.

Vous n' ûtcs pns sans connaître l'histoire de ces généreux cbampions cl n siège Aposto lique, leur impéris­sable epopée d'où s'exhale comme un parfum des Cata­combes. Pie IX, le plus auguste représentant de Dieu

Beautiful Willie's grave is white ·with a Christmas snowfhll, soft and light.

Downy an<l soft above him it lies, Like the wing of an angel shading his eyes,

'l'hat he may not see. the sorrow and strife, 'fbi:) want and the woe of our human life.

Dowp.y and soft, above him it lies,

Like the wing of an angel shading his eyes,

1' hrtt he may not wake from his happy sleep An earthly vigil of sorrow to keep,

Downy and soft, above him it li es , Like the wi ng of an angel shading his eyer;,

That hi s so nl may be forever as white A t the Christmas sho w on his grave to-night.

RIFLECTIONS ON TI-IE USE OF BOOKS

Continued,

We arc aware that young people especially require, and we grant that they ought to have, some more active entertainments than the calm reading of books. But we know, too, that they neecl to be mot!eratecl in theirlove and pursuit of such entertainn~ents, and rlirected to some otlier and better mod es of or,cupy ing their time. They will v ery ensily, unless differently g nicl ecl, run into a hrtLit ofcraviiJg what areca!Ied harmless plensnres

. t o. such an immorlerate degree, as to be satisfied with nothing else, to be discontented with borne, unl ess they c::m have some gay company there to cheer up tb ~ old dull walls, to welcome with avidity every new invita­tion which c:tlls them abro::Jcl, to be devotPd to the nice­t ies and mysteries of dress, and to become averse to sober occup:ctions and solid acquirements. Then it will be found , too late, perhaps, that these harmless pleasures h:we turned out, in the end, exceedingly hurtful-and not because t!Jey >\'ere not really inn ocent and even useful in themsel vcs as occ:tsiOJlfLI relaxation or promo­ters of elegant intercourse, bnt because they were made tbe sole objects ot attention and desire, and suffered to come and reign in the mind exclusively and supremely.

To guard youthfu l minds ngainst such a catastrophe, tllr sad catnstrophe of indolence and emptiness, few more effectual steps can be taken than to inspire a. love oi'reading and judiciously. to superintend the comse of i t: and thi s is to be done most easily and happily in the

. family circle amidst all its influences and attractions, and with the assistance of them all. A t aste for reaC.ing, being once acquired, will, besides providing a pleasur(, gr<>at in itself and constant in its &upplies, lead those who possess it to a just estimate of the value of time and the worth of their minds and prevent them from wasting t!Jeir time and fltarving their minds in a continual haunting of places of amus.ement. It will teach them to rank showy accomplishments in their clue subordination to intellectual and moral improvement. It will give them something more valuable to own and put to use than

An interesting statement is going the rounds. It is that the oldest church iu the United States, dedicated under the in vocation of" Thf:uy Conceived without Sin" is that of the Immaculate Conception of Kaskaskia, Ills, which has been several times rebuilt, the first erection having been made in 1673.

A dispatch from Rome says that the offer ot' Mios Caldwell, of Virginia, to giYe $300,000 to ·found a Catholic University similar to the College of the PF0paganda at Rome ho.s been sulJmitted to the Pope, who intends to confer a ~:signal mark of distinction t;pen the ln!Cly.

Over 5.000 people were in the building, and 1.000 more in the street, trying to get a peep at the impressive proceedings· Many distinguished prelates were present, ancl also many prominent Protestant residents of the city were in the chnrch.

EXCHANGES.

The Occident for December was a very readable number, "Authorship of Shakespearian 'Drama" was a well prepared essay. '

The last number of the "Literary Gem" contained matter unusually interesting, "Show thy~elf a man'' was a good paper-while the poem "Dissection" written by an old student was exceedingly happy. The author seems to possess not a little of the "Divinus inf!atus.'

After an unaccountablealJsence our neighbor the "llli­ni" has at last put in its appearance. There was a time when the "lllini" was rather a clever College Journal­but these days have apparently fled. The number now before us is certainly f[].r inferior to former copies.

The " Old Kriss Number" from Hamilton College for the Holydays was certainly artistic in the highest degree. The Christmas scenes representing the joys and pleasures of that happiest of seasons were exceedingly felicitous. Christmas in camp a poem by Willa Lloyd was very neat.

St. Marys Sentinel of all o m excbr.nges is m:e of the neatest in appeara11ce and in arrangement. The lJec. num­lJer was a good one, ''Nature by night' ' is a splendid little poem-"Sperrmza" a well written essay.

The "Peddie chronicle'' for Dec. contained nothing noteworthy ,-The columns are almost entirely local and consequently uninteresting to outsiders.

The first copy of the "Car~onian" -a child of the "Carson Index'' lately disceased now lies before us-in form in shape rcsem bl ing its ancestor. IV e wish all pros. perity and a long life amid the ranks of College Jour. nals.

Thefirst number of the "Pilgrim of Our Lady of Martyrs," a monthly magazine devoted to the early Christi ~n missions of this country and the many noble characters that sacrificed their lives for the conversion of the Indians; we wish it every success.
