BOURBONNAIS GROVE.ILL. SATURDAY. March 29 1884. V IRTUE vs VI CE.

T he preacher has so often proclaimed that, virtue contributes more than fortune, to the happiness and welfare of man, that it is almost unnecessnry to sn.y anything • concerning this truth. Yet there nre some who. enticed by the frngrnnce anclngreenl,lcnc;:s of worldly pleas.. ures, have forsaken virtue as an enemy, and mace fortune an object of servile a.domtion. Thcce people may discover th~t, if they ever acquire a fortune. it will be of no avail unless they possess the virtues necl'l&'Jry to point out the proper way in which to n~e wealth; and these, too may lenrn that, virtue, not fortune, is the true source of hnppiness. I n the first place what i. virtue? Properly speaking, it is the dil'ochnrge of one's duties towarfls (~oct ancl man :-whnt e:m render men more hnppy than the conscion neS8 of a proper di~cha.rge of duty? tiurely, not fortune. Virtue is a quality which always h:-t!' been nnrl nlways will he nnmired by mankinfl. To prove thi!', 1t is only i:e<·Pssnry to call to minrl the nr~mes of king~, emperors n.nd ~ueh wealth:"~' p€rS011:1ges ns have nbnnrlonecl their plen!'nre!', their fnmilie8, their home~. nay, their very fortnne.'l and bnrierl th~?mselves in monnsteries and for wha,t purpose? to prnctiec virtue: What constitutes the martrys' glory? Is it becnnsc they were inheritors of immense fortunes? ~o: hut because they loved and practicen virtue rmrl died in its defence. But some will nsk: "why is virtue so highly prized?" Becnuse it is accompanier\ hy an inwnrcl reward, bo>cnuse it b n source of tempornl arlvantr~g~?. becnnse it wins for those who practice it the affection of most Jnen. Some mn.r deny that n virtuous person is truly lwppy bee}\U8e, like any other he is not free from temptations and trinls. It is true he is not fi"ee from their., but, he easily overcomes them an<i they serve nnly to strengtheu the tie which binrls him to God, 1ur mankind has genernlly recognized in afflictions something of supernatural strength. We consirler a virtuous man a hero. Bnt how? Is it by holding p€Oples and nations in chnins? Tiherius had this honor. Is it by satisfying one's pas.~ions J,y vcnge·mcc? Octnvius hnrl this plc:t;;ure. Is it hy ruling

a p€Opla hy means of fear? ejanus made every one, even his master, tremble: h ut to extinguish t he fi re ot one's anger, to know how to conquer one's self, to subdue the pron,ptings of one's pride, this is what all just men will Cllll being a hero. W here there is no virtue, there is no happiness. A man mr~y be rich, be may be supplierl with all the necessaries of life, he may be enjoying all the pleasures th:-~t fortuue cnn afford, yet, if he is not virtuo us, he clors not find in his ~njoyments, true satisfaction. l-It)w many are there in the world who appear to be happy and yet who carry the heavie t crosses! T he rich mnn mny make friends, bnt not true fTiends for they us ually forsnke him, whPn his riches dis11ppe.ar. LoYe of fortune h:1s been the cause of many an evil. Cities and countries b:we been pillaged: nations have bee.11 slnughteren ; the most shnm<'fu l crimes have been committed-all this for the sake of fortune. Do Rome nnd Italy in nshcs mnke men honor Sylln? Do men admir e in Ale x ~ ander what they abb0r in Attila r Let 1ortune learn that virtue alone can make perfeet heroes, and that it adopts not the glory whieh arises from victories of injustice. Fortune is a source of plensurc. But what is plensme? the worst enemy of the · sou l. Its voice is sweet but perfidious. Fortune has disadvantages, but, it a !so po~sesses ad vnntnges. T here is a certain pleas me dcri vcd from it, arising from the consciousness that it is nse<l for honest pnrposcs. Virtue is worth acquiring sinee it is a somce of hnppiness. It is worth acquiring in order that if riches ever comP, they m:1.v be properly used. As in the clnys of spring the wise hnsbandmRn, in fertile furrows, scatters seNls whose germs, during winter form the trc.c'l.Snrrs of snmmcr, ~o, he who distributes wisely from the abundance of his weRltb to the unfortunate, sows in precious fielrls, seeds whose harvest blooms and ripens in Heaven.

A Iloly ~[onk, in his stony C"ell. wn pmying to his God, :isking pardon for his fhults, 11sking strength to resist any future fhilings that might beset him, in his humble COill'::>e throngi:l thi vale of Death. ·while thus occupied, his cell wns sudden ly illuminated with :~. supernatmal light. The cold clnmp walls sparkled, ns if they were set with rubi e:> am! Llinmond'>. On looking aro und he beheld Onr Rle~sccl Lord, in ce1e.stinl garments am! clothed with :<pkndor and mnjc.sty.

Secretly the monk was praying, praying for the poor and lonely, for the weak and the homeless, and within him a voice was saying "Whatsoever thing thou doest. to the least of mine and lowest , that thou doest unto me." While meditating on these words, thought be, had the vision come ns a beggar, poorly clad, would I have slighted or ador ed him ? With these thoughts in his mind he hurriedly retraced his steps to h,is cell. Looking towRrcls it, it appeared as bright a.-; if the mys of a thousand suns were there. Entering he finds the vision. A divine v oice blesses him for duty done. There he learned thongh he knew t he t ruth before: " Do thy duty; that is best Leave unto thy Lord the rest!"

~ISSAT!SFACTION.

A mmcg othm· m,, at th• l''"''"t da .> , that of cl ;,. satisti1ction is to be deplored. Tt penneates a ll c lnsses oi society and exhibits itself in Protean forms. It finds its way into the co unting-room, into offices, into pla ces of every cles0ription of bn-;iness, and perhaps as noticeably as any pl::tce, it occaBionally •takes a nm' into onr colleges and nniv ersities. It is an e_vcry day occurrence to see a student wencling his wn.y tow:nds the pa ln ce of n.uthori ty with dissatisfact!on plainly depict<:!<l upon his countenance. H e is d issatisfied with some study for wh ich he ha s no inclinati oD, or in some other way he has encountered an opposition post, and he seeks satisthction. Tl1is is nn ev il that, whilst being deplored , may be remedied. 'Ve are 11ever atisfied. No sooner does some passing pleHs ure srni le upon ns, than it vanishes, and is succeeded by bitter remorse nnd dissn.tisfilction. It is a chamcteristic of the people of to-dn.y, to be continull.lly seeking for something new. ne w books, new styles, new lu xur ies, and , now thn.t the joyo us season of Enster ap proaches, we wi ll see one hundred and one different sty les in cnrds and bonnets. No sooner does a new book come from the publisher's t.'tble than it is engerly so ug ht for by countless numbers of readers. Often it has no other merit than a fin e cover ancl g ilt edges. lt matters little whether it uontains value or not. The very fact of it being new gives it a ready sale. The olll

pnper-covered and thumb-marked book, from which so much useful knowleclge and amusement have been derived, is cast nside, and in its place is substituted the new one, with no other quality perhaps than its .fine appearp.nce. The same rule holds good in regard to styles. The moment a new sty le in any kind of goods appears, the ol<i is thrown asid e, regardless of worth. ,_,. Ho\v ~few attend to t he lines of t he poet: ' "Be not the first by whom the new is tried Nor yet t he last, to lny the old aside." This spirit of·dissatisfhction then is certainly an evil. Surely, in th e mind of him who is nl wnys dissatisfied and fault-finding, there lurks a deadly spiTit, a poisonous arrow. From such a person, little t hat is grand or noble can ever be looked for. Try and be sntisfied. T1 y and be hn ppy a nd by so doin g rend er others s::ttislierl and hnppy. M.

ST. VIATEUl{'S COLLEGE .JOUHNAL.

The "College Message'' is about the same as usual. Such lengthy papers as the "French Revolution'' would be more fitting for the columns of a Magazine. Of the "Ch!.tddock" we cannot say any thing praiseworthy. The matter in its columns is too local to suit our taste. The "Aclelphian" is foremost among our exchanges in artistic make-np ancl vari ~ty of composition. Its selections are very good, never despising a little scattering of wit and humor. The "Norm al Monitor" of J ennessee is a very unpretentious pamphlet- y et contnins some very good e&says. "Byron'' in tpe last issue was a commendable paper, in which the :tntbor shows himself to have no smnU share of information concerning the R eal Chi/de Harold, ar.cl hi s extraordinary hab ili ty. The " Georgetown .Joni·nal" is ns usual up to the standard of 01 Uer1e J o'Unw.lism. The numbe r for l\1Hrch contains a very so und and reasonable article l1i scussing th e merits and demerits of the retention of the classics in om sch ool~ . Th e author eeems to in cline towards the views of Mr. Adams who som e t ime ngo st irred up this qu esti on, now so much agitated. The "St. Mary' Sentinel" com es to hand as fresh nnd ns sprightly ns usual. The lnst issne con tni ned a good pnpe1'-"Th e Spain of to-day." The l:lst number of the " Philomathenn Review" is more suitable to onr taste than many of its precl ecessors. A very tasty , choice, entertaining and instructiv e es-ny wns a short biography of the httely deceased Thomas Kinsella Ed. of the "Brooklyn Eagle," one of America's foremost j ourna li sts, :md a man who did honor to the "Ishncl'' tint gwe him birth.
