EDITORIALS.

WELCOME 1888!

* "" * WE IV'ERE rejoiced at finding on onr retum

letters of invitation to Rev. J. McCann's ordina­tion, v;·hich took place at Ilchester, Mel., Friday Jan. 6th. Our hearty congratu1atious and sinverest good wi. hes to our esteemed friend, Fr. McCann.

THE LINE of conduct for stllC.1ents, li virw a· we • ~ 0

do, in one community, was again \visely and kindly marked out for us by our ReY. Dire<.:tor Jas t F riday and Saturday evenings. In following Lis clirec.tions we are nre not only to make the best possible use of the opportunities we have of improving, but also really to enjoy college life which is so full, after all, of pleasant and wholesome eli versions of dear com­panion hips and of genuine fun.

* * * THE ENLARGEMENT of the editorial type is

something altogether accidental- unpredicted, unex-

pected, and nnknown in the history of J onrnal! Som body (Cicero perhaps) was right in saying this is a changef11l ·world. One mnst. iblwayi:l be on the look-out for some catastrophe, or else run the risk, like onrsel ves, of beino· snrl)l·ised. Those who h1tve D .t

experienced the feeling of being put ·in LARGE TYPE for the first time- larger type than the rest of the paper is made up of, c::tn imagine the state of extatic buoyanc-y into which we have been suddeuly precipitated. Those who have neYer felt th.is bliss may r ec::tll their "firstboots" or the fi rst time they pnt on " long pants," and know something of the strange feeling of "growing importance" that spontaneously and irrepressibly creeps through one on sueh occa­sions. As we view this broader Yehicle of our cogita­tions \Ve indulge in the vanity of the reflection: "Now we are becoming a power indeed and the ·world, seeing, cannot escape us!" 'Tis fitting the editorial "·we" should have more elbow-room as it ·were; we are the big "Head" of the concern anyhow.-Do not, reader, be1ieve a word of · all this- <T ust be ou the qui-vive for our new co,·er and hinges now being designed in Chicago, and don't let us surprise you when we come out in fnll rig . .

THE FEBRU AHY examination is uot only a common topic of eonversation, but is also uppermost in the minds of the students as i!:l seen from the earnestness and activity -..,vit,h wl1ich all prepare fo r the en.mt.

LITER1'LRY SUCCESS does not consist on a

fortuitous combination of circumstances but prin­cipally, and in most cases almost exclusiveJy, on the patient labor of years. So let , us not await the free bestov.·al from uatnre of self-acting genius (which even itself is patience), bnt be up and doing,ever toi1in g, ever achie,"ing, and fame will

come on the right morning.

Gorl hnd pity on him a.nrl, at the solicitations of his D ivine on, gave hip1 ti me fot· repentnnce and promised him a Rerle~mer who would bring him back to the friendship o( his Abker.

Adam went out of the e.'lrthly paradise Rhsorherl in the t.honght of that Rerleemer to come and blessing God for · hiR mercy. He bore his punishroeut manfully and in nil humility, it was a benvy one hut he remem­bered that bis fault. had heen a hen.vy one all'o. Ever since then the greatest virtue and maulines con isis in Immbly bowing and submitti ng to that punishment which wll.s ent!liled by our human nature, aml the mo\'U man acknowledges nod prnctices this, the nearer he av­pr<tacbes to that hnppiness of which be <\eprivl'!d llitn~ <~elf by sin.

Neither mllst we forget that Satan hnd a banct in t.bP. fall. "God pnnishes us by where we sin," is an exp sion as old as it is true, Ry hts disobedience D'Hl.:n liflf~d more or les<j wtt\1 tbp llnil apd God {X>u.lp npt ~y~

NOTRE FOI ET NOTltE LANGUE.

BOURBONNAIS, ILL. Samedi, 14 lan. 1888. No 10.

UNE LETIRK.

Une lettre! aunable courrier Du cœur ! Que de fois sur tes ailes Tu m'apportas, comme un ramier, De loin, de joyeuses nouvelles.

Depllis llongtemps, séparé De ceux que j'aime sur la terre, Tu nou!l fus nu lieu sacré,­Echange de vœux, de prière.

C'est qu'avec toi , je reprenais De si charmante causeries; Un iu tant, tu me rau1 e1Hlb An foyer , pr1's d' runes chéries!

C'était al or~, Il eu reux momem s l Tout ec que rève la tendresse: Des souhaits, des embrassmuenl.~,

De se revoir la douce ivresse !

Uulllot seul , trao:é d 'une main, :\l 'en disait plus qu'un long poëme.

Une fPuill t•, une fleur, un rieu N'était-ce pas un bien suprême?

Je le.s conserverai longtemps

Tou& C<' trésors, en ma chambrette: Ces premiers sib'l.les du printemps, Ce brin d'herbe, cette violette.

Cette l>oucle, épi d'or glané J' ar les doigts tremblants d'une mère Au front riant d'1m nou,·eau-né, Ct"s longs cheveux blancs de mon père!

Mais comment franchis-tu mon seuil., A\•jourd "bu!, messager de joie? Tu re~;ens , messager de deuil. lléla ·J c'est I.a. mort qui t 'envoie ....

Comme manwn tcemble en brisant Le sceau de l'e nve!Qppe noire!

J e pe11se to11cher un mourant, Plus froid et pa.Le que l'ivoire !

Tu ne m'apportes Jllus de nenrs, Mai.s la plume d'une eolombc. Des cheveux blonds mouillés de pleurs.. Cc que l 'amour prend à la tombe!

Oh! reste, dernier som·en! •·, Malgré t.es larmès, où repose Chaque Nmoi u de mou plaîsir,

Comme répine axee la rotie.

Car de l'lwnunec'est.l e d estin : Le plus pur bonheur de la vie, Tel qu~ s·asS< •Iubri t le matin,

De doultmr t.oujow·s est sllivie.

LRS BEAUTES DE ROLLA.

(Crmtinué.)

Musset prend tous les tous les plus su !Jlim~s C() lllme

les plus grncieux. Une grand fntkbeu r distingue wu­vent oon style. Qu'il est ravissant. le tableau qu'il ~int du. sommeil de l'innoce t~cel L'œil croi t contem­pler la grâce vi rginale de la n:>.ture à son révei l; la lu­mièremonte d::tns tcn ciel qu'épure le sou flle- de l'aurore, chaq ue dcur porte s:t gouttel<2.tte d.e rosée:

Est-ce sur de la neige, ou sur une statue Qne oette lampe d'or, dans l'ombre wspendue, Fait onduler l'azur de cc rideau. tremblant? Non, la neige est plus JliUe,et le ma.rhreest moins blanc, C'est un enf~tnt qui dort. - Sul' ses lèvres o uvertes Voltige par instant un faible et doux soupir; Un soupir plus léger que ceux: des algues vertes Quand, le soir, sur les mers voltige le zéphy r, E.t que, .sentant tléch ir ses ai.les embaumées Sous les b<tisers ardents de ses tleurs bien-aimées, II boit su.r ses bras nus les perles des roseaux.

C'est un enfant qui dort sous ces épais rid.eaux; . •. • Rien n'est encore tm·mé dans cel être cha.r.mant. Le petit chérubin qtü veille sur son âme Dout~ s'il est son frèc:e ou s'il est ron amact. Ses longs cbe,~eux ép1n-s la collvrent tout erati~. La cro:x de son colliet· repose daos sa main, Comme pour témoigoor qu'elle a fai.t s:t prièt'C, Et qu'elle va la taire e n s'éveillant dem:tÜl.

Les pas silencieux du prêtre dans l'enceinte Fout. tressaillir le cœur d'une terreur moins sai_nLe,

Mu:'set a un genre à lui en poés ie. Contrairement à

ses de ux émules, il snit jeter la note ga ie au milieu des plus nubl es chants. Il ressemble à Byron, qui mania'it si hab ilement le sarcasme, e t, pins d'une fois, on l'a accusé de plilgicr l' auteur de "Don Ju an." Venu pen de temps après V. Hngo, Musset n'a pas grossi le cor tège de ses disciples, surto ut s'est peu soucié de la perfection de la rime qLt'on a pOt.\Ssée à l'excès et qui semble être tonte

_la poésie, dans notre â.ge cle d écaclenee. Le chantre de "R<1lla" et des "Nuits" repose an cime­

ti ère du Père Lachaise comme tant d'autres célébri tés littér:tires. Son vœ u a été religieusement accompli tHr

ses amis: un saule ombrage son buste en marbre.

Mes ebers amis, quanr1 je mourrfi i, Plantez nn saule au cim.etière. J'aime son feuillnge éploré, La pâleur m'e n est douce et clière, Et son orn ure sera légère A la terre où.je clormir~ti.

153 ST. VIATEUR'S COL~EGE JOURNAL.

CATHOLIC NOTES. Tbe eeleurntions in Rome continue in undimiJ1ished

splendor. Protestants vie with other heretical sects in renctering

their l10mn.ge an(l respect to the distinguished I-lead of the Catholic Church.

Leo shines as a Theologian, a Philosopher, a Poet, a S.want, a Diplomat, or anything else one may imagine. He i~ truly worthy of the esteem and veneration which . Catholics manifest in his regard .

Bishop Ke::tne of Richmond says of the Holy Father: 'Leo Xlll has the cl earest mind in Europe. He scans the world not only with the watchful ant~ loving looks of its spiritual Father, but also with the keen eyr~ of a_ profound philosopher and enlightened statesman."

President Cleveland's present to the Pope of a splen­did copy of the Constitution of the Uni~ed States shows the natural simplicity and greatn ess of views of the donor. The morp, our Governmental Institutions will be known in Eur·>pe anrl the rest of the world, the more they will be admired ttlld copyed, the more blessings they will bestow <•n the nations.

Of all the unbroken line of Pontiff!' that bind the present to U1e days of I he infallible Fisherman, bnt fif­teen, besides the present Pope, cel ebr,ated the golden Jubilee of priesthood. They were John XII, Gregory XII, Calixtus liT, Paul IV, InnoPent X, Innocent XII, Benediet XUI, Clement XII, Benedict XIV, Pius VI, Pius VII) Gregory XVI, and Pius IX.

It is estimatefl that the v'1lue ot the gifts to Pope Lf·o XIII will amount to $15,000,000. They will in­clude 20,000 chasubles, 12,000 chalices, 8,000 crucifixes, and an immense number ot vestments, mitres, etc. All these are on exhibition and the pilgrims and visitors will have an opportunity of seeing wmething from every uation ii1 the world.

Forty eight Cardinals and 238 Archbishops and Bis­hops assisted at the Jubilef\ Mass in St. Peter's on Jan­uary 1st. at 8:30 a. m. Thousands of people thronged St. Peter's square early in the morning awni~ing the an·iva\ of his Holi,ness whom they greeted with repeat­ed shouts of ''Long live the Pope." 80,000 persons were admitted into the vast catlierlral to assist at the Papal muss. The Pope was so strongly affected by the solem­nity of the occasion that he fainted a couple of times before beginning his mnss, which he terminated with a solemn blessing of his tlt'ck.

The "Catholic Union and Times" of Buffalo says: "It is gratifying to know that America is second to no country in her expression of respect and love for the Supreme Pontiff. Nowhere e!:;e has the Catholic Church more glorious promise, ann as under the favoring blessings of providence her future growth will be a 18triking r: dv r nce on her progress in the pnst, ' it is well

that the childTcn of the church in the United States, Rhould be prompt, active and happy to pa;y their .cteep­est homAge to their Supreme ea.rt.hly Hel:ld with whom to be in union and communion is security and spirit ua.l life. We all know that Leo XIII is deeply interested in our country and that he is rejoiced to s.ee the spread of trutll in this great W...flstern Land."

Labouchere has declat'ed in London Truth that he is glad so many Englishmen are travelling in Ireland. If they look about them tlwy will find amoug other things tllat "the Catholic priesthood are precisely the rever,;e of what is popularly supposed in Englanct. In their manners and t.hnir conversation they are refined, intel­lectual gentlemen, of the purest morals, well disposed towards the empire, singularly broad and tolerant ih · their opinions, hard working and self-sacrificing. Exc·ept in the very poor parishes a Catholic priest bas about £BOO per annum, and there are very few curates who have less than £150 per annum. The Irish comicler that their priest,; have adopted a career which deprive them of all the joys of family life, and that they fully deserve all that can be done for them.''

The current issue of the New York Freeman's Jmw­nctl pays this high tribute to Fatber Lambert of Water­loo: "There is a priest and man of letters in the diocese of Rochester who has not yet re0eiverl the meerl of appreciation he deserves. While other men are praised for qualities which ought to be theirs, hut which are not, this n,an's praises are sung by no clique. And yet he is one of the few writers now living wl1o~e

work will have permanent value. This is much to say. Cnrdinal Newmnm tells ns that it is the mission ofca;tho­lic~ in our day to do a great deal of ephemeral writing- . Anrl most of ns hn.ve reAson to accept this as true. This man is an exception. He has written a ''Thesamus of the ~criptures" whrch is excet'dingly useful. He has written the only effective answer,-not excepting that of the Hon .• Jeremiah Black-to Ingersoll's scurrilous and mercenary yet plausible lectures. He has written even a more valuable t>ook, the •'Tactics of Infidel~." This priest and man of letters is the Rev. Father Lam­bert" ••.. Yes, Father Lambert's pen bas renderf d solid and enct ming services to religion. This .is acknowledged throughout the United States and beyond them. His "Notes'! alone have immortalized his name. Aside from

- the~r phenomenally large sale in this country, they have been reproduced in Canada., in London, England, and at the Antipodes. The Um'on and T imes publishing bouse has sold a hundred and fifty thousand copies. The polemical horse-whipping he gan the Infidel little Joker caused his name to be hniled with applause by the Protestant as well as Catholic public. And the pen that bas won such renown is not yet laid aside. (Union and T imes.).
