AT MOTHER'S GRA V'Eo

Down where the willo·ws so gently are waving,

Fanner! by the winds that float o'er the iea

Down where the wild grape eo profnsely is trailing,

Rude crosses stand-marks of mortality:

Mid them n.t morn oft strayed in sweet childhood

A flaxen-haired youth with cheeks like the rose,,

No frsgrance of rosebuct, that scented the wildwood,

Was sweeter than he, in that peaceful repose.

When weary and tired of tile butterfly chas ing

Amid broken tombstones that crowned the fair dell,

·wild flowers he'ct gn.ther, and his footsteps retra cing,

Would sit on a green mound to him beloved well.

Still little be .dreamt there rested a treasure,

V{hose value to him would never be known,

Little he reeked of the love beyond measure,

.That there lie implanted snnlcss and lone.

Often at eve on tbrs soft mound reclining

Only a few rods removed from his home,

He'Ll linger, he'd watch in sadness repining,

Waiting fond footsteps, he fancied woulq come;

Oft ·when the shadows were <m thickly crc~ping

Chasing the sunbeams that feign wo uld delu.y,

He'd tn.rry, he'd sprinkle the wilu plauts now sleeping­

His j oy anc1 his hope by night anct by day .

One cheerful evening, th.e dews they wer,e falling,

The faint winds were uttering their sweet melocly­

Thesongsters the ir young to their shelter were calling­

H e slept, sl~pt profoundly in youth's ecstasy ;

He heard the sweet words of a fond mother singing,

Singing those songs w hose notes were fre~h still,

Fresh in his memory in harm"ny ringing,

Fre~h as the dewdrops, that fell on the hill.

On still be slept his bead at times turning,

His face warm glowing, fixed on the sky,

He spoke and he raved, some inner spark burni·n" O'

He grasped at some phantom that flitted him by.

StarUec} ... ::~"'J'!!Y mother, fbr yon ' I've been

These were the' words he most lovingly saicl,

Whilst the bright stars the blue vault were thronging

THE IRISH QUESTION.

All the nations of the civilized world stand impatient­Iy watching a struggle for liberty which a nation down trodden for seven hundred years has almost accompli­sheet Exiled sons and daoghters look from every coun­try and' every clime on the noble efforts of their fond M.otbP.r struggling to be free. Unhrersal li terature, the magazines and newspapers both of the Old and New ·w orlti relate her glory t\lld her praise; this nation is Ireland.

Up to the year 1172 Ireland was a free, independent tmd prosperous nation. Ruled by her own !rings and protected l>y her own armies she was for centuries the cratlle of literature and sanctity and all that wn.s great :~nd noble. But being at the latter date invaded by th;:! J<;.,gJish who unjustly took possession of her shores, driving tho natives from their homes and lauds which thq banded uver to their own followers who still bold possession of the soil and are well known by the name of la11cli.ord8. Unable to cultivate tbe land themselves t '1ey rout it at a very high price to the Irish peasants, ruJd being absolute masters of the land t.hey overwhelm

it.b Lhxhtion the helpless poor. They are tyrants of the darke::st hue-the weapons of Euglish greed and English hatred for IrelAnd. They fix, bound or restrained by no law, the amount of rent which the tenant must pay; t.he tenant if he dnre utter a word of c01nplaint, would be tlang out upon the road-side and all he possesses handed over to some other man who would be found willing to tllke his place.

The soil of Ireland is rich, but a plentiful harvest d~ more npon the :seasons. If thE' summer is dry and wnnn the fall .briogs a plent.iful supply to t he tillers of the land, bu t ift.he rains of summer are frequent it gives indication of a poor harvest and the farmers will be unable to pay their rents for which even their scan­ty furniture, and cattle, aU are sold by the landlord to t.he highest bidder. 1n tbis way several thousand fami­lies are made homeless and as a na~ural result a fumine takes plnce in the land.

U was a bine in the ye:~r 1876 brought about in

this way that led Parnell, aidud by the Bishops and priests of Ireland, to form the Land League which soon spread its branches throughout the whole world. It is judged treason against the crown of England for an Irishman to Yove his country; and Michael Davitt while paying the penalty of such a crime was the first who planned in an English prison the organization of the Land League. h Wa.s soon taken up by Parnt'll who in turn was aided by the clergy of Ireland with Archbish­op Croke at their bead ; thus the Church and Stn.te combining with united efforts have almost succeeded in making Ireland ~O'S.in as prosperous a. Nation as she was before.

The legislative body of England is divided into two houses-the house of Commons and the House of Lords. The members of the former, unlike those of the latter, are elected by the people, bnt the representatives of the people can frame no law without the consent of the Lords. In the Hou$e of Commons alone there are 670 members, including 105 chosen represeniatives from Ireland. These 670 members representing England, Scotland and Ireland are divided into three great part­ies of whom their respective leaders are Gladstone who leads the Liberals, whose number is about 300; Salis­bury the Tories who reckon about 265; and Parnell t.he Nationalists whose number is 89. On every legislative question the two former parties vote one against the other, and as they are almost equal in number, Parnc.>ll with his little band of 86 holds the balance of powe1· and he has by this means hampered England in such a manner that she canuot make a single law-either for herself or for any of her colonies withot his consent and Jill! vote. Thus is England compelled to grant Home Rule to Ireland, which means the power of mnk­ing her own laws. Seeing this and hoping to gain for himself a name, Gladstone espouses the Irish cause, who, a few weeks ago, sp~akiogin the House of CommollS, in tho name and with the authority of the English Nation declares that England during the last 700 years has un­justly persecuted Ireland "Truly' be S.'\ys, "there is no other alternative !Jut to give Ireland her own gover· ment or to sen1l Cromwell again"

Hnrrah for the "Mugwumps!" \ .

The "petit" nine of villagers defeated tlle Minims last Tuesday; score=1·6-8.

Messrs O'Day .and Carroll of the Chickanous make .a strong battery. - -

The champions appeared in their new uniform 0fgray and red, last Saturday !l.nd after gi vmg three royal cheers for the Thespians m1d Club Moliere, indulged in a shoJ.lt practice game with the Mugwumps.

The boys worked well last Tuesday and the result is, a beautiful diamond ins-tead of the old one. Tne diamond needed a ·thvrough overhauling, which it received. The bases were raised, new lines marked, the back stop re­paired flnd everything is in readine.ss to receive our visitors.

· , · Ther-e is talk of forming a league of the small clubs. lt should be attended to at once. No doul;Jt very inte­resting games would result from a: division· of the best of the small boys into several clubs, and sur~ly it W-ould create a little excitement.

we· dip the following notice of our last ( & lost} game with the Kankakee Browns: - .

"The Kankakee Browns tackled the college nine _at Bourbonnais Sunday afternoon and secured rev<>nge for their unmerciful drubbing of the Sunday previous by defeating the collegians in a ,ten-inning!l game 15 to 10. The Browns presented a strong .nine, including Charley Eden, the professional, 1\nd M:eeney_ and Va.n f:\ickle, the former a semi professional formE:rly. conpected with Ohio ~lubs, and the latter a former merp.b,er of the American Jeagu:e. Eden's pitching was tcq·iflc and demoralizing to the batter. He was caught by Van Sickle infine style. The other mem ?ers of the nine wel'e Jolly,. -Knecht, Alpiner, Walkei·, Feagin and Sharky. This is .said to be the first defeat the college nine have suffe~ed on their own grounds in seven years.'' (Kankakee Gazette.)

At a meeting of the C. S. V. Base .BaU association last week, following officers were elected-Rev. Fr. IUvard, Pres, ' and manager; Rev. Jos. Moysant Sec· . ' ., 1\'Ir. Glenn P ark, Treas.; Mr. P. Sullivan, Capt.; Mr. John Dore, Umpire; and Mr. J oseph Kelley, Scorer. Mr. Dan. O'Nep was elected to fill the -..-acancy caused by the resignation of Mr. Shannon and ~Ir. Wm. Quinlan was elected substitute. A vote of 'thanks was -ten(lerecl to, the Dramatic Associations for their kind assista1;~e at the soiree. Arrange-ments were made to play several of the neighboring nines, after which the meeting adJourn­ed.

Fashion in music, like fashion elsewhere, is changea­ble as the c!ouds. (The Courier~)

Tbe~.:e is one fault with which foreigners charge us, which it is impossible for us to deny. This .is an affecta­tion of independence, insubordination to superiors, an entire wan~ of reverence for the aged and of deference for those who..poss.ess more wisdom and more ptudence than ourseives.(N. D. Scholastic.)

It is difficult to shake off loose and careless habits when they have once obtained a strong hold on a person. For this reason we, as students, should be careful not to acquire any while at college, or they will be a serious impediment to our spccess in after life. (Swarthmore Phamix.)

To ~he- lover of nature no pastime is more enjoyable tl;lan to wander through woodland and pasture in search ·of the fir:;t product of spring May flowers. (Too Eclipse.) . Be. familiar, but by no mea:ns vulgar: The friends thou hll-"t, and their adoption tried, grapple them to thy soul with looks of steel. (Hamlet.)

An essential qualification of a good speaker or a wri­ter is a command of language, the acquisition of an extensive and 1·eadily available vocabulary. Now, an important means of acquiring this valuable requisite is the habit of taking, notes in the course of one's readings. (N. D. Scholastic.)

The love of noise and harsh dissonance is a trait of child-hood and barbarism, which is the childhood of the race. We are explosive and noisy naturally in mo­ments and eras of high exaltation, when the physical system asserts itself and reflection and thought are dim. . .. . But the slow process of culture changes the love of loud manifestations. It tones down high and flagrant colors, and 'Softens disagreable and sharp sounds. As the nerves and mind become sensitive, music increases its spell. (The Current.)

We sincerely thank Prof. J. Lyons, of Notre D::tme, University, Indiana, for a cotnpliment:try copy of"'fbe Miser", bis t ranslation of "L'ava.re'' by Moliere. W e an:i already acquainted with tile translations and various publications of Prof. Lyons and we are not surpri,;ed at finding " The Miser" so well a(lapted by him for the

· College stage. The comedy reta ins a. grea t deal of Its original esprit and does inspire n. sovereign contempt for the 'typical avarice of Harpegon. We will not wri te for a better farce to humor up our next soiree. Once more, many tbnnks.

THE J\1A Y FESTIVAL.

This l\Iay F ete, unusual as it is, will perhaps appear to the old sturlcnts as an innovation on pur ordinary routine of college festivities. So changeful are things · human. This however is only a gem, it seems, added to the cyclic crown of the scilool year, another bright light that illu mines tile occa.sionally darksome warfar­ing of a college lifetime. Hitherto our May conge con­sisted of an ordinary free day without any extraordi­nary dem onstrations of joyousness. This year thoughts so far silent prompted the organizing of a grand fete which we appropriately called our May .Festival. The base-ballists wished to purchase playing uniforms and for that purpose requesteJ tlte service of dramatic and musical societies of the college who un animously agreed to give a public entertainment, the proceeds of whkh shoulJ go to base-ball fund . Tile plays were re­hearsed umler the directions of Hev. E. Rivaru C. S. V. and the day appointeLl for the event was Sunday, May 2nd. Advertising bills headed "Fun! Ba.se-Ball ! Music!" were spread far and ncar in pleutiful vrofusion. The !UI­

dience was consequently one of the most nnm<·r­ous that ever assembled in tile H~ll. The s 1,:~ge WM

dresserl with green festooning a.ud flowers, in front were the ensign of the Base-ball cluu under whose auspices the soiree was given. Two bats were crossed surmount­ed with wreath and flo~er;;; from which hung Lhe cat-

cher's mask and the base-ball. All these produced a gay festi val air.

4t the given signal the Band opened up with the lively measure of "Over the Gnrden Wall," after which the French Comedy was presented. The memhers of the "Gerclc Moliere" are evidently not strangers on the !.wards. Thay seemed perfectly at horne all of them. T)1ey drew frequent applause which indicated how the play was relished. The mistakings of Old Killman and the tricks of scheming Simon and party were especially plain. The roles of Edwartl and Arthur were played with much naturalness. Of the musical mmce.zux which enhanced the French farce, the instrumental solo by . Mr. Martineau, !l8 well all the "Alleluia" was festive-like.

Af'.;er that opened the shaking.scenes of the "Ner­vous Man" closely tracked by the invincible " Man of Nerve," his plague, his leech, his curse. This battery (as it were) was excellent. The rest of the players ac­quitted themselves equally well of their secondary but non the less amusing roles. The play itself is an admir­rable study of characters-clear in their respective delineaments. Even Mr. Clackett in characteristic in­Keeper's style, would praise up his country butter and fresh eggs, "everything of the best.'' The performance was much relished and almost const ant applause accom­panied the nerve force of Corney McShane as well as the irritabilities of Mr. Aspen. In all, it was a success as well as the farce of the " Cercle." I hear some people said they had not assisted at a better representation at the college for years. People will utlk. Lets s uppose it's so. Anyhow the " Home Sweet Home," a very difficult composition by Mt-. Mazurette, was well executed by our pianist M. A. Roy. Some one said be had dropped three grace notes. Let's suppose it's so. Eddie O'Con­nor's " Res ignation" was played not only w:thout a fault, but with a remarkable expression, and eertainly our young soloist deserves encouragement. Of the many complimentary notices given of the concert in the Kunlmkec papers we clip the following from the Gaz­ette : "The large chapd (Hall) of ~t. Viatcur's college was filled Sunday evening to attend the music:<} and dramatic entcrtninment given by the students under the designation of a May Festival. '!'lie large a11d well­t r:t ined orchestra and choir gave a number of select­ions supplemented by several piano solos fmd duets A French and an English fnrcc w':lre given with spit·it and furnished great enjoyment to the aud ience." As customm·y we subioin the

L'AMOUR D'UNE MERE.

'fRANSLATED FROM THE FRENCH OF CLARA LESDEHAI'S . '

By M.\STER F. c . H. OF THE "CLARSE SYNTAXE.''

Two angels watch at the nrndle side of childhood: the strength of a father, the love of a mother. The lat­ter alone, a mother, so angel-like indeed, preserves het· power to the lAst, she knows how to stem the overllow· ings of passions, she buries all chngt·in within the mys­terious folds of her own heart, aDtl at the same time spreads happiness on all whom her dear intlnence rt>n­cbes.

A mother's lteart is an abyss which no !Jumnn ntfec~ tion can fill,orexhaust. God bas gif e l this creature, nHt u­rally so weak, with the power of accomplishing the mo:<t heroic sacrifices. It is through her that lende!lless, com­passion, and love in nil its degrees aml iu all its :>lwpes, are entertained in lhe family and in society .

·However unfeeling be the heart of a child, he will ever cherish thE: fond caress of his tn<>tlrer, uf her who since his very birth and during nll his life has only proved how much she loveJ him, ar11l what sacrifices she would be ready to make for hi.s happiness.

A mother's love shrinl\:; bef(Jre no sutreriugs. l\Iany llre t.he nights that this living providence has watcherl by tbtJ C'radle of her iuthnt, when si··kness hon~red fl ­

bout it ! :'lnd even when at leugti1 she herself, fell ex­hfl.nsterl and eare-W<Jtn, we have secT! her caim aucl

smiliug, for ~he lmd vanquished dentll:

'Vhat pang~, though. she mn~t h:we e<lureJ t o :1rrive there, wh:tl sarlness mu:;t h:we picreerl her heart during tht-se kng nights of slecples~ness? Tlw.t secret is her,, no oue knows iL, no one i-hall ever know it.

As long as the rlanger lasted, her yigilanee di<l not fail one instant., but ~t - ertch slight nuve of her de:~r pa. ticnt she ti!lt the point of a swotrl rntcring d<'q :er !lnd deeper into her heat·t.

The child grew anrl be waxe<l st rong-the honr for marriage rang. Poor mother, it is now she has need of all her courage; tho cnp hns become a elmlice, ancl she must {!rink it to the lee~. Again she docs this with a smile on her lips; w()uld she not give the last drop of ber bloocl for the ltappiness of her chi!<.!?

An example comes bnck Lo my mcmvry; it will show the tenderness of mother:-.

One day a woman see.:; her only chile! leavmg her, he goes beyond the seM in quest of hn.ppiness which seems to flee fl·om him. Twe11ty years nftcr, the child, now become a m~n, returns to his .nati.ve borne; he fiuds hiS I mother w-eeptng before a cruCifix Ill a well-known room;

. I

this spectacle draws from him n deep sip:h- nt once a Yoice responds :

My son! l:lhe has not seen him Lhe poor mothet·, but her heart

has recogni11ed the one ~he wa, await i:lg so long, so long.

What incomp:1rable bliss is mine: she exeluimed. Olt cn!l me: "l\Iy MoLher !'' For twenty years thic< n:unc so sweet has not echt .eel in my e:n; t,he wor l• i has ;;cemerl to me empty, for I did not till now feel the CIHleariug

c:wcssc~ of my son. See how from weeping my eyes baYC bee< mefor ever

closed . . . Oh l eall me 11gain my name! 0 maternn.l love, ot nil the blessed sentiments sent us

from bea ven , t hou alone keepest ever strong tl;y al­mightiness when :1ll others fr.de away or diell\Iny thy souvenir forever preserve from all st::tin the henrt c/ the chilrl when he hecome8 a man, and _then nid him to wall,, cnlm aTJd proud to the end of hi s career! ...
