we would fain na:nate. Not a few hurrying along with the evex..a.dya.ncing crowrls strikingly recall "ti;J.e Vision of MirzaYSkeptiCJsm, Rationalism, A,g+~osticisrp., 1tfod~rn Infidelity, Nature-worship assail them in the daily pa­per and monthly magazine. The average novel-and the novel is an educator-instead of_bej.ng a word-picture of human motive and action, a standarq by which the quality and tone of Society may be gaged, a mirror in which w~ may finci the actual or .possible ot noble self, tampers with things most sacred and easily condones faults most offen.sive and crimes most terrible.

It too of course, must receive attention and lend itS influence to the mipd. Associates in the school oi medi­cine, failing to touch the soul with probe or scalpel, ~:~cout the idea of its existence. Companions at law, in the office, counting house, at the club and restaurant,on the railroad, in the hotel, at private dinner table, in every social and friendly meeting, throw out objections agair:st the sacred things of religion.

If, therefore, the Church is to prosper in this brightest, fairest land, it appears to one who is himself cast 'mirl life's bu1iy sdE>nes that the rising generations must bl'} snrrouuded with more effectual safeguards and coun­teracting influences. Into the hands of young men must be placed the shield which is to defend them against the piercing darts of skepticism, and the sword and spear with which they are to attack and put to flight the enemies of the Church. All dangers unquestionably derive their power to harm from moral weakn~ss in him who confronts them. The young man whose !ife is stainless, who has not allowed the siren pleasure to seduce him, the thirst for wealth to absorb his energies and shut out Gou from his heart, the longing fer fame to tum him aside from the desire of God, will stand proof against the shoals nnd breakers of life which des­troy so many.

The practical solution of the question lies, however, with those whose duty it is to rear young men, to cultivate their minds and hearts, to warn them against the hidden rocks of sin, and equip them for the lurking dangers of life. I would not, .for a moment, ignore that home training, which teaches the child what seems to metaphysical schoolmen the abstrusest of all proble.tn!l. "Read," says a well-known .writer, "all those philosophers· wrangling abont a First Cause, deciding on what are miracles, anrl then again deciding that such miracles cannot be and -when one has answered another and left in the crucible of wisdon; a caput mortuum of ignorance, turn your eyes and look at the infant praying to the visibln God at his mother's knees. This idea so miracuh·usly abstract of a Power. that the' infant ha.s never seen, that cannot be sym boiled forth and explained to him hy the most erudite sage­a Power nevcrthele,ss that watches over him and hears

133

him, that sees him, that will carr.y him across the g~;ave, that will f,nable him to live on .forever;- this double mystery of a divinity and of a soul the infant learns with most facile readiness: at the first glimpse of his reasoning faculty."

Heads of schools, colleges and the Recular Clergy can, therefore; ·best speak for the future of young men. Our opponents have, for the mo>t part, the advantage of su­perior secular training and intellectual development. Our forefathers, suffering-from social and political os­tracism, have natnrally and necessarily fallen in the so­cial and intellectual order. And true, recollect, l do not think it possible or even necessary that young men be armed cap-a-pie against all objections. But men o:fthe world do e~pect, that Catholics be able to state clearly and simply what the church teaches on those points in which sbe is most ofteu mis-representecl. A very littlb perversion will turn what is reasonable and true into what is quite unreasonable and false. If a Catholic has never been taught the difference between absolute and n .lative worship, how can he meet successfully the Prot­estant objection of"the adoration of the cross." If he has never been instructed in the doctrine of concomitance, how can he explain the church's practice of communion under one specie,s only. If he has never learned what that much-abused Indulgence means, how could he, for example, ac,count for the extraordinary calculation whereby Hawthorne, in his '•Scarlet Letter," tells us that anyone visiting Rome can, in a very few hours, shorten his term in Purgatory by thousands of years. It would be desirable also that the attitude of the Church toward Science be thoroughly understood: let young men be told that Revelation is above science; that its point of departure is th·~ one where all science founded on experience stops, and sound philosophy begins its ascent, rising above created things and leading us on upward even to God.

May not the clergy, therefore, knowing as they do, that the world addresses itself to the inclination or young men in a thousand ways-may they not antici­pate by objt:cts of interest and attachment its destroy­ing influence? Let them point ont with renewed energy the alarming danger of the curse of our age-the indis­criminate and miscellaneous perusal of everything print­ed. Let the rites and ceremonies of our holy religion symbolizing in part its innate beauty and mojestic grandeur be c~rried out even under difficulties. Let instructions be given in "thoughts that breathe and words that burn." Let young men understand their true position, let them know that so much of the ftt1mre . welfare of the Church depends on them, that theirs is a duty and a burden of trust.

This done, may we not s'afely predict America t~ grandest home of the Church, for,

A SECOND GLANCE AT LUCILLE.

Fink.

!l'

WbRt is the '110ral bidden i:1 this simple Htory? It is that an aimless life is an empty life; that the pursuit of pleasure alone does not satisfy the heart and that fre­quently its devotees on1y strive to forget their disap­pointed hopes i:n the whirl of excitement. It teaches us that perfect happiness is not within the grasp of any mortal and that sought for ones-self alone is selfish and despicable: that though happiness escape us in one direction, it may run to meet us in another; anrl that though dissappointed in our charitable hopes, life is still living. It reminds us that if passion and inclination have lead us far from the true end of life, reason aml determination can guide us back to the right path; that irresolution and d(inbt are the causes why the evening of life is not as bright as its morning had promised; and that they only who keep a definite object in view and hav~ the resolute will to contend against the obstacles which raise themselves between them and the object of their pursuit, ever mount to success spiritual, temporal or intell€'ctnal.

Take, for instance, the character of . Alfred as it is described by the author.

"Alfred Hargrave was one of those men who achieve So little because ' of thE much they conceive. With irresolute finger he knocked at ea.ch <::>ne Of the doorways of life, and abided in n~me.

His course, by each star that wonld cross it, was set And whatever he did he was sure to regret. That target discuss'd by the travelers of old, Which to one ·appear'd argent, to one appeared gold, To him ever lingering on Doubt's dizz of margent Appear'd in one moment both golden and argent." These trai ts o£ character we discover in Alfred's

conduct towards Lucille and Matilda. To whichever star he was nearer, by its attraction his course was reg­ulated . If at the side of Lucille, his influence prepon­derated; if, by that of Matilda, her attraction was the greater. When called upon to decide between the two, like the needle placed between magnets, he vacillates; and, had not Lucille wit-hdrawn her influence by flight, we may suppose that like the needle st.ill, he would at last have come to a state of rest, obtaining neither of the objects which he sought-Yet he had talent of no mean order but being

' " Both brilliant1an'a''bcittle, ti.oth bold aniuhstatb~e Indecisive, yet lr~en ; Alfred Hargdwe seemed ~tble ,·_ To dazzle, but not to illumin.ate mankind. '- ·, A character wavering, fitful, uncertain :;· As the shadow that shakes o'er a 1umifi0'u·s·•cuhain Vague, flitting, but.on i't forever impre~sing: • The shape of s<::>me substance at wh;icb you· st~nd We are not siuprised_- tlierefore - [guessing.~'

"That his Life, though in all things so gifted anct' skilled

Was. at oest but a promise, which nothing tulfill'd'. In his youth "his life had been ~eatnest" and th~re

was a moment in which it migllt hav.e borne fruit •'in his manhood's full growth" but the opportuni'ty when he was the toy of too pliant -a will to resist the boister­ous wiud bf the woTld and tlie fro, t of the worlcVs wintry wisdom. The occasion slipped by and thereafter

"He made it a law, in his commrrce with men, That intensity in him, which left sore The heart it disturhed, t6 repel and ignore .. '' From thenceforth, with no plans for the ,f11ture, con­

nected with no object which could bring out and de· velop his faculties, he gave himself up to a life of plea­sure: living only in the present. Years roll by in indo­lent idleness. But even pleasure at last pH.lls upon its votaries and Alfred does not prove an ex'CepLion. Dis" content everywhere r.ttends his footsteps and though young, talented and wealthy , be wearies of himse'lf ahd life. Why? Becaus·e he had no definite aim to urge him on and give zeal to life; because of indecision a.nd want of earnestness; because he had turned the world into a garden, when on the contrary it is a stubborn field , from whose soil nothing is reaped but by toil and persever-ance; because he also he feared the sneers of his gay compan­ions, whose silly minds looked clown with contempt on a life spent in labor. Well bad it been for him if he ltad remembered the poet's words

"'Let any man once show the world that he feels Afraid of its bask, and t.'will fly at his heels: Let him fearlessly face it, t'will leave him alone:

But t'will frown at his feet, if be fling it a bone" Well perhaps had it been for him, had he been born to sorhe lowlier rank (from the world's languid scorn secured by the 'World's stern resistance) where strife, strife and toil, and not pleasure, gave purpose to life.

. True, he repairs the mistakes of his youth, recognizes that "man lives · not for himself alone" but that the happiness or misery of others is always linked with his ; and that man's life is not one of unall6ycd pleasure, but one of toil in which tbe bitter mingles with the sweet.

But would he have learned this lesson by himself? Or would he have had the courage to strike ou·t a new life, a new line of action, bad no Lucille been at his

Malgré la piété dont il avait donné de si éclatants témoigna~, le premier César chrétien ne sut pas repousser ces titres idolitriques que l'adulation impie des courti ans avait décernés aux Néron et au Tibère et qui ne tendaient riPn moins qu'l\ faire un dieu de l'empereur; funeste héritage que ses successeurs ne recueilleront qtie pour l"'ur malheur, la ruine de la religion et .:~e l'empire. Pourtant., c'était pour protester contre cette tyrannie des rois payens, que pendant trois iècles l'Eglise avait combattu onns relâche; c'était. pour

conquérir cette liberté des Ames, que pendant. trois siècles le snng des martyrs avait. c<•ulé 1\ flots dans les umphithéitrœ de Rome.

... .~·.· L'È .JOUR DES MORTS .

·· .f1Ant6mne est arrivé!.Les jours deviennent de plus .en plus courts, le soleil , se .. voile sons d'épais nuages. ·Les oisea,ux s:envolent rvérs dC:ll climats plus doux. Le vent eril<>ve les.fe ui·ll~s . flétriès et gémit d;tns les ra­meaux desséé~és. Tout tombe, tou.t meurt.

/'Ainsi finit une. année, . Ainsi :fi.n1ssent nos joms."

1/Eglise co.mme une teadre mère, ·nous rappelle en ces . jours te ·souveni•r cho 'l'l.OS fnères trépassés. Elle n'aurait · ·pu mi.eux choisir, car tout alors nous parle des absents,

de cenx que la •mort .a moissonnés. ll vient commP, une -voix de la· tombe, la. voix d'amis qui ·dorment sous le gazon .Je ·long som meil de la mort. . '

Mais est-ce q•w tout repose là, sous ces quelques pie.~s de t.erre? Non, leur âme a bris~ ces chaî.nes pour s'envo­ler là haut; elle semble venir nous parler quand le sou­.venir de nos amis ~bsents s'éveille Cil nous. C'est t!De mèt:e q n'une mort .pTérnatnrée a enlevé~ à ses . enfauts; c'est un ami, compagnon de nos joies et de nos douleurs; .c'est une temlre sœur, uu frère bien aimé qui nou& di sent: "De nous vous sou venez-TOUs?''

Comment vous oublier? ce serait nous ou 'olier nous­-mûmes. Vous êtes une parti de notre être et la meil­leure· rtroitié .de notre vie appartient au tombeau. Nos

VIVRE, ·c'EST SE SOUVENIR.

Le Ré v. M. Adam in vi té à parler devant la commu­nauté, entre autres gracieuses choses, a dit cette belle

·parole d'un éc rivain: Viyre, c'est se souvenir .. Comme .elle était vrai ~ cette pensée pour un grand nombre de ceux qui étaient alors assis à la table cle l'amitié et que la gratitu rlé groupait autour elu guide cle leurs j eunes années! Tous . vivaient, vivaient elu doux passée!

ta montagne, si verte au printemps et si pourpre et d'or à l'automne, élevait encore v e-rs l'azur sa tétc cou­ronnée de la éroix; Je murmure des Rapides mêlait sa chanson à' la voix et anx f:c lats de rire de la troupe é~~lière; des figures bien conn nes, mais sans les rides de l'âge, parlaient et souriaient affectueusement au P~re

. de leur enfance. Heur~ux temps! 0 courses sur les rochers· et au bord des blanches cascatelles! 0 jeux bruy­ants et gambades sous les grands ér ... bies! 0 riches

,~ ' r '

cueillettes de noix et de bleuets! Heures délicieuses d'étucte et de poésie! Vous tous, peaux jours d'autrefo-is, vous êtes revenus et nous sommes encore enfants! ....

Mais le temps, qn i détruit tout, nous enlève le suave enchantement de nos rêves. Tl est cependant un don ble sentiment qu'il ne saurait atteindre, qui prend racine dans les cœurs bien nés, grandit avec les ans, la reconnaissance et l'amour! L'heure du départ; a sonné: il fa.ut se séparer, mais cette rencontre, c'est une halte sur le chemin de la vie, c\·st un anneau d'or ajouté à la chaîne des souvenirs, c'est le doux au revoir! Oui il

revoir et à bientôt! 0 charmants visiteurs, vous avez :fait pieusement

votre pèlerinage au sanctuaire de l'amitié. Votre présen­ce a rajeuni l'âme de votre vieil et meilleur ami; vos chants et votre parole ont réjoui le temple témoin de son zèle infatigable; il portera avec orgueil le joyau que vous avez mis à cette main qui vous bénit tant de fois, et, nous, qui vousconntttes si bien, sommes toujours sous le cbarme de votre trop court séjour au milieu de nous.

Car vous n'êtes pas étrauge,rs, comme volis l'avez si bien dit, et ceux qui ont étudié sous les mêmes maîtres ne Sfturaient jamais l'être. Qu'ils viennent du Canada ou cle la Fr,ance, ce sont des frères, des enfant::s de St. Viateur. Partout l'élève reconnftît l'humble livr~e de ses maîtres et leurs dispositions particulières d'ame et de cœ ur qui soY:. t comme un cachet de famille, et eux }tussi savent reconnaître leurs fils doflt l'intelligence a été cultivée par des nuüti.s fraternelles. On ne saurait ainsi se ren0ontrer, se reposer sous le même toit sans éyeiller les plus chères rémiuiscences:

"Et de ceux que j'aimais l'image évanouie Se lève dans mon âme et je revis ma vie!''

L' .ENSEIGNE MENT DU FRANCAIS.

Dire aux personnes qui marmottent, au lieu d'articu­ler,. et qui se serv_ent de tous les mo~ qui se présentent au lieu de choisir ·des termes propres, dire à ces person­nes qu'elles ne savent pas la laT•gue française, c'est leur causer une surprise ex tr ême.

Dire à un homme ou à une femme qui recommence cinq ou six fois sa phrase avant que de la terminer, et qui embrouille chaque membre de cette phrase sans parvenir à exprimer nettement sa pensée, elire à cette

· personne qu'elle parle avant que d'avoir réfléchi-c'est la surprendre .. . . et l'insulter.

Dire à un maître d 'école qu'il baragouine et qu'il n'enseigne à ses élèves qu'une prononciation fautive, c'est l'attaquer dans sa dignité d'inrlividu diplômé.

Dire à un enfant qu'il jargonne, tandis qu'il devrait

LE CERCLE FRANCAIS.

se servir do mots qui sont jus tes et qu'il a entendus mille fois dans sa courte existence, c'est se moquer cle ce petit personnage-et tout le monrle admet qu'il ne faut pas se moquer des enfants.

Dire ù ceux qni li sen t qu'ils clevra!ent employer clans le langage parlé les expressions qnïls rencontrent sous leurs yetJx, e'est leur demander plus qu'ils ne veulent prom ettre.

Dire :1 uu pGre de famille qn'il ne devrait jamais ré­pondre à son enfant lorsque celui-ci s'exprime incorrec­tement, c'est transformer le père de famille en maître d'école E-t .... l'humilier.

Compre'nez donc, compatriotes, que nous sommes tous d1'S maîtres d'~cole et que le meilleur de la bande est celui d'entre nous quiveut la perfectiOn de son en­fant. Soignez votre langage afin que votre fils devienne plu& compréhensible que vous. Ne seriez~ vous pas fier d'avoir un enfant qui vous füt supérieur? Vous arrive­riez sl\rement ù ce résultat en lui donnant un langage au-dessus de la banale et stupide conception du public.

Vous êtes. père de famille et vous ne songez pas à rendre vos erif,mts plus conmissants, plus p:trfaits que vous!

Et vous p:n·lez de progrès ! Et vous regrettez le temps que vous avez perdu,

dans votre jennesse! An! laissez moi vous dire que vous n'êtes pas raison­

nable. Si vous avez un fils qui a le moindre talent, tâchez qu'il co.nnaisse sa langue. Plus il la connaîtra, plus il fera honneur à sa position dans la vie.

Encouragez-le à soigner son langage. Faites en sort.p qu'il pense avant que d'ouvrir la bouche. Si vous ob­servez lies dét:mts dans la manière de parler des hon­meR de votre entourage, signalez ces dé!imts à votre fils afin qu'il les évite. Quant à vous, il n'y a guère d'espé­rance cte vous corriger, car l'âge ne le permet pas-mais votre fils est jeune. Dites-lui de se surveiller et de ne pas prendre exemp~e sur vous-même.

Il n'est pas nécessaire pour cela que vous soyiez un snvant. Obligez votre fils à savoir l~ grammaire et à

l'appliqu er. Il en prendra l'habitude. Sa phrase claire et nette le fera remarque!' p:1rtout. Cela vaut une profes­sion. N'avez-vous pas rencontrA des hemmes qni ont naturellement le don de bien s'exprimer? Ou les écoute, n'est-ce p:1s? El.t! bien, cet avantage peut s'acquérir au moyen d'un peu .de travail. J'a i toujours pris plaisir à

écouter Ferdinan:l Gagno:1, ce mod èle du beau et solide langftge . C'était un Can:1dien qui nous taisait honneur. Ce qu'il <'lisait était dit une fois pour tout. Il ne com­mençait p:1s une phmse p1.r la fin ni p1.r le milieu-il la pensait avant que de la prononcer, et sa pensée coulait de source. Nous devrions tous \)'trier ainsi. Je rougis lorsque j'entends des enfant s'exprimer plus correctement que moi, mais hélas! qui nous a enseigné clans notre jeu_

nesse à nous surveiller et à dire nettement ce qui nous passe par la tête? Je rencontre tous les jours des personnes qui parlent un affreux lang!oge et qui, cependant, la plume à la main, savent parfaitement se tirer d'affair,es. C'est que l'oh n'a pas imposé à ces per­sonnes dans leur enfance l'obligation de p111rler avec soin, avec mesure après réflexion. A nous,. de ·faire. eh sorte que ce .déümt ne ~e répP,te pas chez les. erifànts.

Plusie\n·s s'effraieat lorsqu'on leur propose de soigner leur langage. "Voulez-vous donç ;que nous parlions en termes?" demandent-ils. Parler "en termes" est tout simplement bête. Parlel' correctement c'est savoir parler .. Le langage nous distingue des animaux-ayons un

, langage digne de l'homme. Ceux qui par.Ient en termes sont des ignorants ·qui se rendent riclicnles en employ­ant des :nots qu'ils ne comprennent pas. Je serais le demier à vous col'lseiller l'us,tge des "termes." Mais parlez "français"-c'est-à-dil'e d'une mauière lucide, facile à comprendre et toujours conforme à la grammai­re. C'est un tout petit livre que la grammaire. Un petit ·enfant peut l'apprendre. ·Quand on l'a appris, c'est pour jusqu'à cent ans!

Habituez-vous à articuler clairement, au lieu de mar­motter des sons que l'oreille ne peut saisir.

Je me suis souvent arr~té pour entendre des Cana­cliens s'adressant la parole. A chaque phra,;e l'interlocu­teur disait: ''hein?" et l'autre répétait ce qu'il venait de dire. Pourquoi? parce que l'articulation est défec­tueuse. Nous sommes élevés de cette façon et tout notre monde en souffre sottement sans se plaindre. Remettez les enfants dans la bonne voie. Faites en sorte qu'ils ne r~::ssem blent pas sous ce rapport à

leurs pères ; car, en vérité, nous ne nous comprenons pas les uns les autres!

Si les canadiens des Rtats-Unis veuleu.t s'en donner la peine, ils ont unè excellente occasion de relever la langue franç:1ise tombée si has dans le langage parlé de . la province de Québec. Ils sont les maîtres de l'enseigne­ment, et, par conséquent, ib peuvent le surveiller-ce qui n'a pas lieu dans l'ancien Canada, où clutque enfant est libre d'aboyer comme un chien, sans craindre qu'on, le redresse.

C'est par le nombre des votes que nous nous faisons respecter quelque peu en Canada. Les Canadiens des Etats-Unis peu vent mettre elen x cordes à leur arc: le vote et la langue. Qu'ils se montrent jaloux de bien parler fi·ançai~ et ou les respectera beaucoup plus que sïls font usage d'un baragouin qui peut les f:.tire prendre par les étrangers pour un peuple sans v:tleur intellectuelle. Je désespère de corriger sous ce rapport les familles du Canada-mais aux .Etats-Unis, il me s~mble que c'est plus praticable, puisqu'il y va de votre honneur et de vos intér~ts.
