THE .JOUR~ AL with this is~ u c ente rs upon t he fourth year of its publication; hence a new Editor in chief~ a new volume and a new number. A ch::t11 ge, we tru ::;t an im provement, has been made in tbe disposition of it~ matter nnd in the addition of an editorial column .

* * * THESE EDITORIALS will treat of subjects educa­

tional , scientific, criti cal, etc ; we will try , ns much fl S

possible, to keep on general C(.] lege grounds.

• * *

OUR l'Al'.ER is not by any means n. netr s paper, nor is it asportingpnper, or a society paper ; it isessentially a literary p!lper nncl from the way it is judged by its exchanges it admirably bits its aim . The fact o f an editorin.l page will naturally reduce li terary "articles;" but we prornis~ to make up by quality what we lose by

'luantity .

* * *

OUR EXCHANGE have a long time uggest.ed u the idea of an Exchange Table, Personal, porting Editorial notes. As we bn.ve only 7 pages and do not wish to be too lleterogenous we keep on writing essays. Perhaps will the journal acquire taller dimension a it grows older. Then it will gradually assimilate these desired at­tachments. As for our exchange column, to be p1·operly attended it requires rr.ore time than we can at present give 1t, and rather than have a poor one we prefer to have none at all. We will, however, prai e or blame, quote and correct or approve accordi'ng as time or op­portuui tv favors.

* * * AS FOR A COVER and binding, we llave looked into the matter closely. It would certainly be roost desirable, especially the thread . .. But! such is our shortness of hands that the binding process, we find , would , in our staht quo, delay the issues one day or two and perhaps more. ' Ve therefore let it go loose as ever, waiting for developments.

* * * THE ORIGINAL SI~ of erlitors, they say , is to ask

for their pay. It must be admitted that the j ournal men have not cmnrni tted that fin very often. We arc vety strongly tempted, though, now to indulge in a petition when i.n the face of so much to do with little means. Now onresteemed alumni , y ou who so generously helped in founding the journal , g ive us now another push and help us still to perfect what you so meritoriously start­ed, and what st.ill remains such a sweet bond of union between the actual students nnd their predecessors.

* * * THI:<; .FHE~CH SUPPLEME::KT is ready to accom-

pany the j ow·nal in its 011ward roarcll towards fame ; we find it a b11l e companion and trust it will ever be appre­ciated by our readers.

* * " IT I~ MOST ENCOURAGI ' G for the Editors of

the J ournnl to lo(>k back upon their work of these three years bound up before us in 6 nice volumes of Bro. Mainville's best loinding, which will be a priceless addi tion to our library, an<l will ever remn.in t.he sacred ta­bernacle wherein are treasured np the sweet memories

of l'ollegc yen.rs.

------~~--------'Ne still can rejoice in the present

Though the past has been dnrk and <irear,

For we have a hope in the futur~

That's a stranger unto fear.

Aml our trnst is no foolish f?mcy

Of an idle and drenmy brain-

We have proved that our hope's etern :ll

Aud that we can prove again.

Then bow not your hearl in sOJ'l'I)W

And shroud not your soul in woe,

Though darkness and grief are nround us

Th<; dawning !Dust come we know.

1t' thet·e's hope in the blood of martyrs,

If then~'s life !n deathless Jove,

Then as sure, our trust in the future,

As the faith we have fixed abovE'.

What though ages of gloom and sonow

Have darkened and clouded the sky,

Ttoe o;un in tlw midst of winter,

Though unseen, sti ll :;hines on Ugh.

.An earnest in all "1\'e have su.tferetl

vVe find ;n the triumph we'll gnin,­

For love is made stro11g ttnd eternal

In the liery cruritle of p1dn.

To love is to sonow often,

1' here :•re tears in the lover's voice;

But. love that is faithful and eonstaot

Will sometime smile and rejoice.

Anrl have wo not lov~d our country

With a love that never failed;

Love(l ber most fondly and truly

When f'nmine and chmth assailed.

Oh ! yes! t.ur souls are unconqufretl

And in thi , the pt·omisc we see

Because of our deathless affection

Or the glo••y thllt yet shnll Le,

Then march in stateiy procession

Raise banner and flag on high;

Let the strength of patriot fervor

Kindle your !.teart and eye.

With t.he sounu of' lofty music

Wa.ke your souls so true and brave

Till your eat'S have caught the echo

From that isle a-:ross the wave.

March proudly in long procession

Like me11 of PU!'J:.>Oseand will­

Let your hig h ancl manly bearing

Proclaim y0n're unconquered s ~ill.

· Caeteris p aribus, the drnma "If I were a King" suc­cee<led well enough. It is not a com:cal play, nor is it, in the force of th(:' te rm, a tragedy; it is interesting, · though, as a uBw novel and is admirably adapted for be.'l.utiful stage effects. It goes with the magnificent in scenery and costumes; these were all there. Now, l\1r · Editor , your carving knife please, fot I rnust come to the cntt ing part.

The shepherd s of the bny of Ischia, headed hy the brave and leam ed Cecato, were the la ughable feature of the play. The lines were well learned, the nature of their roles well stndiecl and rendered; this, rem f)m.ber, iS the great merit of an actor: to understand th~ i·ole be personat.~s and to give it faithful, life-like expression. The meeting of the two little brothers was fair; I'm tempted to say very g vod. The anxiety ofthe shepherds after their lost Genaro was natural enoug h, as also their willingness to dispose of old Banquo, ancl their behavior in the royal halL Ceca to, of loafing reputa tio11, also onc.e t.be rig ht arm of Jean Renaud , deserves special mention for the able manner in which he played his part; his every move was the signal for a laugh. His speech before the roya l Court should be preserved as a mosl powerful weapon for the undoers of conspiracies.

Let Banquo go, the frowning old villain. Gemiro, as shepherd king, expressed truly the vehement desire he

f elt of being a mighty King ind ee rl . The pei·plex ing, unaccountable metamorphosis puzzled him much ; but he tcottlcl save the kingdom , and so he did and nobly too. •Twas vP-ry true that " his a irs wvuld g race t!te throne of France." Genaro principally excell ec1 in his address to the Comt, where, in unveil ing thn monstrous plot of Ruisco ll.nd Don Gonsalvo, be boiled up to a natural degree of passion, bring ing to the assistance of his clear , silvery voice RJ'cl commanding appearance some v ery elegant gestrnes. Ic is really surprising that the boy still so childlike, so fond of his marbles and tops and all hi s li tt.le sports, could become so se rious and play King in such roy al style. Celeste is cer tainly promis­ing .

King Ferdinand and his Courtiers and P~tges,· all the gaudy pageant ry of the (jonrt , that was magnifi­que ! Ferd in8nd crowned and in r oyal robes looked splendid. The kindliness of 'the unsuspecting monarch was well portrayed. The joke was well told . The King's soliloquy, so full of d.i vers~ sentiments, and consequently requiring much soupleness in the general appearance and expression; was ndmirably rendered. Bu t when th e infamy of his cousin was proclaimed by the mock king in his presence, F erd inaJJ d, and in general the cour t, d id not manifest the horror whi t;h such a crime should

. have inspired. In recog niz ing hi8 two t;hildren, kidnap-peel from him years Lefore, there was not that a ffection­ate cmbntd' of a lov ing an<l grateful p'arent aml his

P. S. This criticism which I think fair }'On'll perhaps find a trifle severe. But such as it is it ea1i on ly be very beneficia l to a ll concerned. Criticism is not flattery nor is it nlJuse either.

LESNUAGES.

Je viens souvent ici, sur Ia mousse des h<Jis,

Demander aux forets le repos' et l'ombrage,

Entendre des oiseaux l'ha rmouieuse voix,

Sous le murmorant Ieuillage.

Mollemeut eteudu, le regard vers les cieux,

J e voi passer dan !'air des groupes de tlllages:

Blancs cygnes de l'<tzur dont Ie vol gracieux

Fuit vers de loiutaines phtges.

rour<Jttoi ne puis-je prenure ainsi qu'eux mon essor

V "rs Ies moo de· anciens, Ia terre des prodiges,

Ou d'empires fameux Je temps conserve enco r

D'imperissal!les vestiges!

Yoir ces lteux enchantes qu'uu printemps immortcl

EmbelJit de fruits d'or, de JlClll'S eblouissantes ;

i\1'endormir sous des cieux dont l'azur eternel

Berce nos douleurs blessantes!

Oil! il me semble alors que mon creur en mon sein

Vibr~rait t.out a coup connue uue douce lyre,

Oil tel <JUe les !lots qui fremifsent , au nuttin ,

Sons le souffle du zephyre!

que mon f\ me, en voyant les bonis pte ins de splende.ur

Oil, comme un astre d 'or, r esplenclit le genic,

Deborderait soudain sous le poids du bonheur

D 'ivre.~se et de poesie !

Mais non, je le sais, bien ces vreux ta.nt ca.resst\s,

Tons ces souhaits si chers, ce reve de ma vie,

o liouleur! nc serout jamais realises ....

Ce u'est., belas! qu'un sorr,ge,ct qu'w1e va.ineenvie!

J e ne contemplerai jamais l 'immensite

De I 'ocean sans borne, ou 1lottent tous ces :nomles

(Joe fit surgir d'un mot celui dont Ia beaut!\

Se retlecbit sans tache en ce m\roir des ondes

Non jamais le Vesuve au panache de feu,

Les Alpes aux somme~ d? nei,ges t\ternelles

Genes Ia magnlfiqneet son golfe tout bleu,

Etoile corilme un ciel de"ffottantes nacelles.

.Jamais Suez, Ophir riches li 'or et d 'enceus,

Ma lag-.1 couronne de granades, d 'oranges;

Naples, Hybla dansant au bruit de !ears volcans,

Les rives uu J ourdaiu.Ies fiots SMres du Ganges;

Non jamais ces cites a !'antique spleudeur,

l~eines de l'acquilon, du couehant, de l'aurore,

::'{' eolouiront mes yeux, ne cha rmeront mon creur,

Jamais ne me v·crrout sm· ces bords quej 'afiore!

,J C- ne foulerai pas le s sublimes debris

Du eirque d~s Cesars, !'immense Golist\e

Dont l'arlme jadis, memora-ble parvis,

J e n'irai pas meler mes p1eurs au Hot dore

Des neuves etrRngers de Tyr, de Babylone,

Et reposer nl()n ccettr SQUS 1\ nnbrage sacre

Des cMres du Liban., d'une a11tique ool<mne.

LES SEMAILLES.

A vee le retour du printemps,arrive le temps des semailles. La terre apr(s s'etre lentement depoullee de confroid manteau de neige, se rechauffe a:ux rayons bie:-~fai8ants du solei] c'est. al01·s que Je diligent labou­seur se p~·epare a ensemencer sa terre. A peine l'aube matiuale commence-t-elle i\ blanchir l'bo rizon qu'il est rend u a v ee tons ses enfants da1is le champ, que lui !aissa son pere. D'une main assuree, il guide Ia charrue, qui est trainee par ue vigoureux · chevaux, que le plus vieux de ses fils guide, tout en causant, com me on le fait a cet age.

Lorsqne le sol est entierement prepare, l'infatigable laboureur attache a son cou un semoir de blanche toile, rempli de grain .qu'il repand comme une pluie d'or dans les guerets. B:entot, les chevaux sont atteles ~i. la herse, herissee de longnes dents de fer, pour recou vrir d'uue legere couche de terre le grain qui bientot ger­mcra en riches moissons.

.La 1eligion, qui prend l'hcmme au berceau et lc> conduit jusqu'au seuil de l' eternite, ne l'oublie pas dans ces temps de penibles labeurs: au printemps. elle chante des litanies, fait des processions dans nos hameaux pour appeler sur la terre les benedictions d'en haut. A\'ec quelle confiance, on enfonce le soc dans le sillon, apres a voir prie" celui qui conduit le char brillant clu soleil, dans sa course journaliere, et qui conserve dans ses inepui1'ables richesses le vent du midi et -les tiedes ondees! L'homme des champs sent avec joie son ame s'epanouir aux saintes .infl ut)nces de la religion et sa se­mence chere aux rosees du ciel: Beni celui qui produira des moissons utiles, et dont le creur flechirn, an jour des ju:stfces supremes, sons ses propres vertus, comme le chaume sons ses bloncls epis !

FOR OUR BuSll\ESS l\lEi\.

This is a little extract from au addres:.; by Professor A. L. Boltwoo1l, ofEva.nston, to the grad uating dHss of tbe Norlbwt>stern College at Naperville, Ill.

After spealdng in general of the evil ofclisboncst men, the Professor says."\VImt we n('eLl in Ameri c~, here nncl uow i that sentiment of righteous inrli_gnntion which. shall make a community too hot to hold sneh men ;which !'hall make a fraudulent fi1.ilure a lnsting diRgmce a.ncl bar the man who does such a thing ft·om nil our churches till he repent anrlul'ing forth fruits meet for.pennance . . .... Honor in bu.ving and selling, in ma.king and mea-

, suring; labelling anci in advertising; i11 facing the asses­sors; in material and tbouroughness of work; no shoclrly called good woolen; no jute called silk; no oleo-margar­me called butter; no chalk and water C<•lled milk; no watered stocl{, or fradulent di videncls j no false tple­grams, nor lying news paper reports to influnce the mar­ket; we neecl to see these things brought about, and men of business are the ones to rlo it."

THE CA THOLTC WORLD SAYS.

\Ye are po~>sessed of a greed for gold. We want to get rich in hast and the more we h!:tse the more we want. Time honored business has become a species of legaliz­ed gamhliug, by whic-h twenty pockets are emptied in

_order to fill one_ According to our new code of ethic:>, the hone~t man i~ he wl10 takes care not to do anytlting that woulrl bring him within the scope of cnminal law . 1\Ioral obligation nnd the Christians d nty we ignore in llUI' transnctions wi tli our neighbors. \Ye bring up onr ehildren in these principles; we tench them by the force of example. Our very sdwols help in this work. They fill the young mind with nn;bitions ideas. Our boys enter life's strue,gle with dreams of wealth and great­ness. N ot even one thinks of lJeing a good man."

The sturrly yeomen, our forefntbers, who ti lled the soil and plied their axes i_u the v irgin forests of Ame­rica, founded a goverment on the basis of liberty and equality; the tendency of heir descendants is to create an aristocrney <,f the worst tyve-tb:1 t of money. A wrong use is made o1 education-which shonlc l tend to increase equality-when it <l oes not tea ch our youth that labor is ennobling and needs b ut one title to l•e respected: t.he simple \YOnl 'honest.'

THE SEVEi.'\TEETH

The bright snn w:1s bedding its flood \l!' golden light OYer the oriental horizo n when we arose cheerfully to greet him . Oh! what a fino day it's going to be, every boy whispercrl :15 he donned his g:1yest and pinned the shnmroek to bis co:1t. Iuch•ecl it could ' not have been better, hnrl it been mnde to on1cr!- .. After our no w fashionable '' light breakfnst" we enjoyed an un­usu al ly merry game of handball, bi!Jiarrls, a heart-y chat with n smoke of Bro. l\i 's very best, whilP the other boys were gelting thing,~ in readiness :f(,r Mass· which was celebrate<! at U o'clock. It was s ung by Re,-. Fr, Chouinan1 C. ~. Y., (lf l'ofnn tcno, nssi:;ted by Rev .. J. Sh:mnoll as de:-tcon, Mr. Alex MeG-aviek as subdeacon and l\Ir .. T. lJore as master of ceremonies. There were nlw neatly robed acolites and torch bearer:;. The cere­monies wt>n~ most impressi vc. A very nice sermon for the cwcnsion was dt>livercd by Rev . . J. Gibbon!>. Use­less to :>ny tbat the music, i. e. 1.he mn S'i, interludes, offertory, etc. were all the best of our repertnry.

off' in about this way: our usual gamc~s·, foot-bftfi for the little Chicagoll.nS (a rare treat to them)., serP.nacling the AcademJ and the Village in gene1~al, in a word a goo<'l time all around. Then we P!!-rted with our parents, friends and little guests of the Holy Name School, who all thanked us and complimented us on our man~er of entertaining ourselves and them.

In the evening a programme was drawn up to give the coup de t;p·ace and send it into the past. with its last gem attached. Tbis entertainment consisted of a very pleas ing vari·ety of songs and most int.eresting recita­tions. The Irish story of the times •·•when swallows built their nests in old men's beards and turkeyB chew­ed tob·.wco'', as well as the Doc's speech were relishable bit~. Tbe songs by Vocal J os. were encored again wnd again. Rev. Fr. l\'Iat·sile closed with his usual remarks and we left St. Patrir·k's dy.y for good.

TUE BANQUET.

St. Patrick's clay with its anticipate(! joys has come and gone but in passing it has left many pleasant re­mini~cences that will return in afr,er life, souven irs of one of the happiest of our college days. Among the note­worthy occurences of the Feast of St Patrick, was the annual banquet given by the rn e111bers of St. I'atrick's Literary 8ociety, one of the most fl ourislling assoc ia­tions . of St. Viateur's College. After the pl~y on the eve ot the 17th. , when all had departed . pleased with the endeavors of the Thespian Association to ren­der the evening enjoyable, the invited guests, tlle old and present members of St. Patrick's Soeiety, repaired to the refectory where ::tn elegant repast awaited them. The orchestra was l)resent and rendered c'clat to the '()ccasion by discoursing some of its · choicest selections.

The Jelicate via)l(]s and those large black · bottles were inviting to stud ents who observe the rigorous fasts of the Lenten season! Let not our readers rai;e tlulir eyes in holy horror when I mention bottles; . they were common every-day bottles and on ly contained Champagne-Cider! When all ha<~ appeased the first cravings of their appetite, the different guests and members were called on to spe'tk.

· The first was Prof. Murphy, tbe present Moderator of St. Patrick's Society. H e, in a neat and aJ)propriate speech bid a hearty welc<>me to all and spoke of the work of the society and the advantages snch an asso­ciation afforde.i to college stu tlents. Prof. Murphy was followed in hi~ remm'ks by Mr. Maher, ·wilmington, a former stuclent and also a memher of St. Patrick's So-

ciety, who in a few wo1·ds related his experiel1Ce wben connected witu the Liter:1ry Society 9£ St. Viateur's, assuriug us that all his relations with t)ilat association hacl been m0st pleasant . and qeneficial. Mr. Mahe1· ol;:>serl his remarks by congratulating 'tl1e . Society on the snccess of their entertainment. Mr., Lwrkin, of the Holy Name ScLool, Chicago, 1Yns tl1 e next. call ed on to speak.. Jn response, he aro,;e and addreos­ed the society at some length on the pust ancl preent condition of the lri sh race and the Emewld Isle. Mr_ L a.rkin 's speech was most appropriate and showed hi:s Jeep sympatby with tha.t rlown-trodclen p eople, the Irish. Mr. H a.rbour of Chicago fo llowed with a speech cvngratulatory both to the co llege and society. He manifested by his remarks bow much he hall at heart every thing conn!lcted with St. Viateur's and its socie-

. ties: ~Iessrs. Shannon, , l\1cGavick and Dore off'ered. their felicitations to St. Patric.!;.'s Society wishing it n.w ch success and prosperity in its career.

' ge~erated £row our nobler al\lcestors? .... Ah! there is . ~"0metb.ing .to ·stir ones nerves in this very thollght:

wP.at a:re we doing? Are all our attentions tt1rned to­t:> ward making the association flourish and be such as it never was before, or rather Ifi.tght not the spirit of a decade past infet from onr acting that we are flickering and with but a few spal'ks of life? Tis not so bad.

What do our.own-day companions think Qnd say of us P; . . .. This is what they say: that the Thespians of 86 are just the material fo1· a strong anJ first-class troop; that they have the required ntimber, and the talent, and wil!i.ngness to exhibit their abilities an "the occasions", and that any failingin their public tepresentations can only be att1·.ibuted to their want of ~'generousness" in prl;lpariug themselves. So to say, I endorse that and here are my COI'nments.

T·b.e best elements of our .several elocution classes forrhs ou.r associatiqn; it can therefore but be ::;t~rong. !I'hat you are always willing to "get up a play," write your pr.rt, and practice, that's true. 'Btit, my friends, there are always two ways of doing a thing. When you speak of getting up a play, you must not only consider your iudi vidual ad vantage or your personal inconveni­enc.e. There are. n'lore than one concerned; there are thousand& of little points to he attended to all around;

·. all must not be left to one, but ever? one must do his share ~o that the burden of "getting up a ~oiree" will be bearable.

Iri the first place, then, be satisfied with the role assor­t >d you·, copy it faithfully and learn it diligently even

·· if yo·ur're told. A -manuscript . should not be used at even the S3 COnll practice; a rehearsal with p:.tpers is bosh. To wait till the last to com mit your lines exposes the whole . pla.v to be a fizzle-and you need not expect that the moderator will therejm•e pt'actice you day and night to JWevent you from appearing ungracefully, for he smely will . have too many other things to attend

· to .then to have any time fot pratice; he must see to and provide stage fixtures aud costumes, 'have bills and programmes printed, tickets arranged, invitations

.sent, etc, etc.,; and when so many things have to be f!one af. once and by the same person you run a chance of having unco?'rected progrctmmes, etc. Therefore I in­s.ist o n diligence, generosity in committing your task;

· learn your parts well. ';I'hen, when you are called for practice, be there.

Again there are two ways of practicing ; the proper one _should i!-lway,; be prefet,ed This would be about it: to

' , be .at your place, speak your part to the best of your ability frorn the stm·t, and profit by instructions and cone·ctiOI1s.; wben not en scene listen to what goes on nnd watch your entrees . 'When you are not required any longer, notify and absent yourself. This I prescribe. These, t}lough, I proscribe; to put off learning your

part-that's laziness. To smoke at the rehearsal is out of the question; but to chew becaHse you can't smoke tbafs a trick indeed! worthy, though, of its-perpetrators. To wrestlef: ·be noisy, or to play marble~!, etc. d'uring the practice, that's childish, not to say grossly impolite. To delay coming to the ·drill, wait for a seconef or ' third call, unless some unforseen reason excuses you, i:s nothing else than merely ... well, mean.

Thos again, on the whole, to make the ''getting up of a play'' the occasion for all sorts of disorde1~s, such as, for instance, begging to be eox:cused from class-du­ties on plea of the play, that's not right. With good will and common sense, even without transcendental geniuses, a Booth or an Irving, we can do wonders. That's what's the matter.

Ibelievethe society well on the way tosuccess.Asits Moderator I gladly give it my thoughts, for I love the art, I confess. and would dearly like to se~ it prosper much substantially and intellectually. As for our recent soiree, it was not as good as we could have made it had we tried. There was not that polish to it we could have put on it ... etc. Now 'tis past; what's done is done. The future alone is ours to improve. We should aim high and ftrive to excel, not only to equal those who have gone before us. We h>t¥e every advan­tage, new costumes, good scenery and ourselves to grace them, "Go ahead" then-and believe me.

In one Vicariate of China, Central ToRk!n, 50,000 children are baptized annually, most of them at the point of death.

The hotel Costanzi in Rome has been purchased at a cost of 1,500,000 francs to German buyers for the purpose of establi::;hing therein a German Catholic col­leJ!o'.

Bishop Keane of Richmond, Va., presides over a diocese 40,000 square miles in extent. There are only 18,000 Ca­tholics in this vast space. He has but thirty-two priests.
