COLLEGE JOURNALI M. Whilst loob..i.ng over ome of the Exchanges sent to this office, it occured to us that, in more than one instance, their contents appeared in ingnlar contradiction to their title and object. T his kind of Journalism, it eems to us, departs from both these standpoints in seeking, by elaborate and exten ive essays, to enter t he domain of politics, the field of religious controversy or the high realms of state polity. These questions are amply provided for by experienced and well paid pens in the magazines and pre..."S of the country . If the writers of college journals left. such themes ~everely alone, confining themselves to their own legitimate sphere, much valuable time might be saved and their efforts thus wisely limited, might perhaps result in son: e permanent excellence. \Ve venture an opinion, and by no means wish to imply that the subjects mentioned, ma.y not be well handled fiom a literary point of view by college journalists. Indeed, trained literary merit ought to be a qualification, and ' visible, if :my where, in this kind of jomnalism. That it is not always manifest we confess in lldvance, and neerl no one to throw a stone into our garden, to acknowledge that at times. our own window has been pretty badly damaged. All we intend saying is that, few college men He, hy experience, trained to practica!Jy discuss these questions, with aptitude, precision and logic. The reason is plain. One phrase will, with all respect, convey our conclusion RS profit.'l hly as if we consumed time and a page in detailing it. College men arc young; "tbt>y must tnrr.v at Jericho until their beards grow." With age generally comt'..s added wisdom, and many a.~ man at twenty five and thirty, has already lived long enough to regret the crude effusions of seventeen and even of the day of manhood's estate, twenty one; a fortil)n·, will he l:nnent at forty over what he considercrt geniu~, in the 8pring and sum met• time of his career. Let no one imagine any slight is hereby put upon college joumalists on nceom1t of youth. This would he ungraeious and unjust to them and ridiculouS> in us; but.. onr prop~ition is that many jounmls, at times, forget their title nnrl their ol•je<·t. After all, a collt'ge paper is nothing more than a college reeord, and

its obj ect a college publica"tion by st~tclents, of stuclents, f or stuctents. WLLttever is embrctce:l in this wide ran ge-and every professor and student knows there is enou gh Hnd sufficient variety to make college p~per interesting and instru c tiv e-may be term ed S\lltable students' or college literature, stllllents' n e ws in order, and may become matter proper Jor college journalism. To emphasize this range is to mention, phi losophy, history, science, the classics and a hundred things that a stndent find s iudu cl ecl in college life. De par ting from this standard to cuter other fiel cls, is not, and no sound reason will adjudge it, college joumalism. That this is t ru e in its full sense, any College j ournalist, wishing to try an experim ent, may learn. Let him send an essay on any of the first subjects we have mentioned , and to which he has devoted mnch time, to a first class magazine or to some g reat morning cbily, and at the same time, nam e nnd await a price for his matter. The answe~· he will receive in nine cases ont of ten, will convince him of his inability to snt.isfy the public's demand for energetic writing. It will show him, unless conceit blinds him, that the p11blic knows the difference between flowers and fruits, am1 again , that between these two, it is even discriminating. His a nswer will pro lnbly tell him that he has done what the reading pnblic d o-·s not i.e. confound fact with fancy: in one won1, his first experiment in this direction will Rho w him , perhaps, better than he ever knew, that the ontsid e world and those wh o cater to its demands, know precisely what, when and how mu ch they want to bny and r e:-td ; know wlw.t are and are not well (1evelopec1, pertinent arg um ents; know their relative importance when guaged by ex perience, l1y judgment and especially by hard money value. In this connection, it is well to remember that liter:-tture, in our age, abov e others, Ins become, like news, m erchandise. The most bnys the most , and th ough the best is notalwnys pmehased, yet, there is some where n market wherein to sell. vYe think enough has been written here to suggest thought to the readers ancl purv eyors of college jonrnalism. In its sphere it cnn be made use ful for the present and for the her eafter years oflite. Assuming t oo much, it loses it;; title nm1 it s object , an d lbi nl,ing to l1e of interest to those who are not within its influen ce or its requirements, it becomes distasteful and a bor e. "\Vben college j ournalism , as it sumetim es happens, leaves just criticism behind and seeks to be personal and insulting, it is contemptible nncl unworthy of d ecent n otice. lts aims, like the aim of education and A1nerican , christian eel u c~1ti on, should be high, noble, above li ttleness :-tnd petty tricks; it.s object shou ld be the stud ents' elevation to the worthy plane of t he best Am eri can, Christian manhood.

JOURNAL. MILLSTREET, Co. Cork, Ireland. March 28, 1884.

DEAR Jo uRNAL: After my first trip over the Atlantic and weary enot1gh of t-w elve days sailing,· I ,-~.m happy to sit·clowu in my quiet little hotel and be able to send you a few lin es. We had a rough passage. Before st arting from New York, 1 had read so much abo ut icebergs and the many C11countered by in-coming steamers, that I was looking out for them ai1xiously. vVe did not howev er meet any. Our good ship, ) ike a t hing of life, seemed tired of buffeting with mountainems se~ts, and if tbe thing be poss ible, seemed glad to reot with us in sight of shores. "whose aspects of vivid greenn ess refreshed our eyes weary from the Ocean's tides." Bnt now to begin. All over the United States, I had heard a great deal said concerning Ireland and the injustice shown that country uncter its present government, and I had heard no less saicl of the good qualities and merit of the Irish people. B ut I must say , strangers to the country have sc · rcely an id ea o1 t hose things, as one actually 1i>' ds them in I reland. I have so much Lo tell you, I do not know what to say 1i st anrl where I may end, is a puzzl ~ already . Sh1ll 1 descr ib e Cork harbor the first ha.rbor of this co nn try ] saw-the most bcautifn1 harbor in the \HJrl d ; or slmll I co mm ence with the· lal{es of KillarnPy, or the g rov es of Blarney, or shall I say anything conceruing the character of the per;ple, for all have .a.h ,mcl ant cha rms for the t ra.ve!ler and ead1• seem8 in viting to tlte stranger. ~V e il ! a word abo ut the people may interest yo u. The Irish people on the ir own soil are perh:1pS the most hospital>l e p eo pl ~ the snn shines on to-day. They are both hon est and indnstrions and th eir mode of livin g is simple. As tl1e government is deadly opposed to the prosperity ofthe cmmtry and the happiness of the peo pl e, th ere is no cnp'ital developi ng the resources of t he country. A lm ost all the l.and s are g iven up to pnst"re. There n.re bn t iew thctories, no steam mills, uo fou ndries, no trade of any importance, the mechanicIll outlook is very small ; and I think it is impossible thnt this people cnn ever better their comliti on while the government. holds them ns it does now-cru shed under severe laws and co-ercion-otherwise the Irish would be prosperous and hnppy. At this eason of the year it is a charm to v;s it this country. The spring commences en rli er than in the States. All the valleys are green, the trees are budding forth new leaves, the blackbird nm1 trush are ben rd from tbe bowers and their songs nrc (1eli ghtfnl.

The angds sing "Alleluia to the risen ' viour: H e is risen: He isl'isen 1" The clouds which ha.d · covered the earth since the s trl hour of the crucifi«ion, disappear an~ roll 11 way. The sun burst resplendent from the East,- all is joy and gladness, in heuven and on ea:r:t.h , for death and hell are conquered. .Fallen man has been redeemed. It is Enster Sunday. The life of every Christian is a picture, though a · 1hint one, of that first Holy week which we have been commemorating. As our divine Master and model pa_sed t hrough sorrow, lmmiliation, a.nd death before He arOSl' triumphant from the grave, so, we too, His children and follower!', are to pas&: through a tl)' ing 01'<"1cal on tl1is earth before we are brought up to heaven to enjoy the reward which He won tl11· us.

LE CERCLE FRANCAIS. nesse, il voudrait régenter tous les autres; moi, j'ai des idées moins élevées, mais plus propres à me conduire an but qu'il s'agit <l'atteindre. Ce n'est pas dans le pouvoir qu.e je placerai le bonhe:ll', mais dans les n chesses, sources des plus doncesjoies intérieures, causes directes d"nne fonle de jouissances aussi rliverse.s que les désil:s du cœur. Quand, uH jour, après bien des travaux, bien des sueurs, un homm e peut se dire: enfin je suis riehe, j'ai fait fortune! de quel légitime orgueil son front ne se couronne-t-il pas alors? Avec quelle vive sati sf~wtion, ses regards anxieux ne se reposent-ils pas sur cet or amoncelé devrrnt lui? Non jamais les feux du diament, les splendeurs de l'aurore n'ont ébloui ses ye ux d'un aussi doux éclat! Non jamais ses oreilles n'ont entendu plus r~vissantc harmonie que ce bruit de l' or frappé par l'or! Non jamais ses mains, en le touchant, n'ont fi·émi d'une joie anssi vive lorsqu'ell · s pressaient la main d'un ami! Cet or qu'il caresse, c'est le fruit de ses sueurs, c'est le fils de ses œuvres! Ah l il est prrrvenu au smmn Pt des richesses; voilà pour lui l'apogée du bonheur l En effet, maintenant, il est maître, il est souverain ! Il est riche, il peut tout~ Son p ~ u voir n'a plus de borne: le roi, entourré de pourpre est moins puissant sur son trône que sur la pièce d'or qui porte son image; son effigie a plus d'rnpire que la majesté de sa personne. Rieu ne résiste à l'influence suprême des riehesses; tout s'incline, tout- se courbe elevant elle: et l'h0mme des champs, et ceux qui portent la couronne du génie et les peuples de la terre, et ceux qui leur donnent des lois l Les richesses sont aussi la voie qui conduit aux honneurs, aux dignités. Les distinctions de tontes sortes pleuvront sur celui qui vit dans l'opulence: les grands et les princes le rechercheront et seront flattés de l' admettre en leur pr\'sence; il se m êlera à tout re qu'il y a cle plus élevé, coudoiera toutes les célébrités: les princes de la science et de l'al't. Qui ne connaît le fameux Roschïld, l'hôte des rois et dont les rois sont les hum bles tributaires. D'ailleurs, la richesse n'est-elle pas considérée comme la meilleure, -la seu le aristocratie des temps modernes? ses titres ont éclipsé ceux du sang. Mais les richesses procnrent encore des jouissanees, ' des amusements de toute espèce. Autant le pauvre est dénué cle tout bien, autitnt le riche est comblG des dons de la nature; autant la vie du pauvre est som"re et pleine de Ll ésespoir, autant celle dn riche est riante et semée de plaisirs! Quand l'hiver, de son haleine glacée, a flétri les bois et les plaines, que son voile de fi'imas a recouvert toute la nature, alors le pauvre llans sa cabane, ouverte à tons les vents, essaie en vain de r éch:1.uffer - les membres de ses enflmts déjà assez froids pmu le tombeau. Mais le riche, que fera-t-il? Ah! lui , il fuira les intempéries des saisons, il ira snr quelque plage

embaumée, sous un ciel. d'azur, là où il règne un printemps éternel. Et puis quand l'ardente canicule reviendra embraser les airs, il Fetournera rèspirer la fraîche bise des mers, pendant que le pauvre brillera sous un ciel de feu ! Chaque jour est une fête nouvelle pour le riche. Lorsque la pauvre mère, mourante de faim, voit se fl étrir sm• son cœur, son enfant., la flenr de son âme, lui, le favori de la fortune, s'assiera avec sa famille et ses amis à la t.able d'un splendide festin. Tout s'unira pour l'enchanter: le vin coulant dans des coupes d'or, les mets les plus Euaves au goilt, les chants et ]es r is retentissant dans des salles somptueuses. A sa porte, l'attendent de brillants équipages qui l'emporteront dans des routes ombragées, en soulevant des nuages de poussière. Le soir, sous des lust.res ruisselants de lumière, aux accords d'une musique ravissante, il se mêlera aux rondes d'une danse joyeuses, ou bien il assistera aux représentations émou vantes du théatre où les charmes du clrame, la beauté des scènes le rempliront d'indéfinissables émotions. Voilà la vie cl u riche! N'est-elle pas une chaine infinie de fêtes et de plaisirs? Qu'est-ce qui rend son exis.tence si fortunée et si digne d'envie? Ne sont-ce pas les richesses? Qu'est-ce qui a r épandu sur tous ses traits, cet air de gaîté, ce somire éternel ? Ne sont-ce pas les dchesses? Qu'est-ce qui a plongé son cœur dans un :contentement et des délices inconnues? Ne sont-ce pas les richesses? Ah! ami! ce sont les richesses; et c'est paree qu'elles ren<1ent les hommes heureux, qu'ils font tant df sacrifices pour les obtenir. Tout agit, tout s.e meut pour acquérir des trésors. Pourquoi, partout, cette ::..ctivité fi~ vrense qui s'empare de tous les hommes? Que ven lentils? des richesses. Pomquoi le labotm~ur arrose-t-il de ses sueurs le sillon qu'il trace? Pourquoi le commerçant s'emprisonne-t-il, du matin au soir, derrière son comp- • toir? Pomquoi l'homme public se prodigue-t-il sans réserve ai1x intérêts de l' état? Pour obtenir des richesses. Ah ! si ces sacrifices de tous les jours ne parlent pa ~ assez haut ; s'i ls ne prouvent pas décisivement que c'est en eUes qne l'homme place le l1onheur, demandez à cel ni qui s'éloigne du ciel nntal, qu'est-ce qui l'n.rra.che ainsi à toutes ses affections? Et il vous répondra encore, les richesses. Si ce n'est pas encore assez, interrogez la terre; demm1dez aux ~ines d'or du Pérou, de la Califourni ~ et de l'Anstralie-qni Dnt attiré des quatre coins dn monde cl es flots de peuples,-pourquoi les a-t-on remués en tous sens, pourquoi les a-t-on- avec une sorte d'acharnement- remuées jusque dans leur profondenrs? Et elles vous répondront toujours que c'était pouT en extraire des trésors, des richesses, le bonheur! LA SCIENCE. Mes Darnes et Messieurs, Mes deux confrères ont prétendu trouver le bonheur,

Je crois ,- que tous deux n'ont pas fait une assez large part à l' intelligence .. lls ont été trop prodigues pour le corps et }, pas assez pour l'esprit. Ce qui domine surtout chez ''·t' I:homnie, 'C'est l'intelligence, et l'intelligence est faite pour la vérité : voilii sa fin. Qu'est-ce qui étanchera cette soif de la vérité, cette soif de tontes les connaissances? Ce !!Ont les sciences. Ce sont elles qui lèveront le v 0ite du mystère qui cache les ph énomènes de la nature et qui dissiperont les ténèbres qui ol>~ curcissent l'esprit hnmain. Les sciences ont paru ur la terre comme un astre lumineux ! Elles ont ét é le "Fiat lux" de l ' hummlité: Qu'étaient les peuples avant qne les seiençes brillasse nt sur eux? lb:; étaient tous plongés dans la plus profonde barbarie: ils erraient dans les forêts comme des troupeaux sauvages, se dévorant entre eux ; la force fcrasai t le droit et l'éq uité; le meurtre impuni rougissait la poussière du sang de l'innocence; et, mm·qué du stigmate de la dégradation, l'homme, ce roi de l'uni vers, courbait vers la tcne, ce nol> le front f:ti t pour porter les cieux! Mllis d ès que la science parut, parut aussi la -c ivilisation. L't poésie ad oucit les mœnrs en be rçant les peuples de ses chants ha rmonieux:; l'histoire anima le courage, en retraç.ant les immortels ülits d'arme d es béros; la philo~ophie illmuiua l'esprit par les ens~oigue ment'3 divins de la sagesse; l'architectnre replia la tente des bergers et lança, ju qn'aux nues, la pi erre e11 toms rnenaçantes ou en gr11cie uses t;ges de fl e m s.

que combats et gloire. On dit que Geo. Bergeron, sous l'inf!qence des mêmes idées, passerait une partie de ses récréations à lire les campagnes de Bonaparte. Voilà du nouveau. - "J'aime mieux faire du guérêt qu'écrire de~ lignes." ~ F. Prairie doit ouvrir une brl).sserie l'ét é prochain, les pratiques promettent d'être nombreuses. - Ambroise prend du repos. On le voit quelquefois au bois cueillir des violettes ou le soir revenir d'u .... poulailler, chargé d'un fardeau d'un autre genre. Bien! ami, prépare-nous des Œufs de Pâques. -On lira avec plaisir la pièce de poésie que le Rev. Fr. Saulin a bien voulu envoyer au CERCJ,E. La morale est aussi spirituelle que juste. - Paul Wilstach est bien mieux depuis qu'il est chez lui. Le jour qu'il est arrivé à LaFayette il a visité le Palais de Justice et le soir il devait aller au théatre. Du train qu'il y va, il nous reviendra certainement après le congé de Pâ.ques. -"Fat" Brosseau pèse 250 livres! En voilà un qui n'a pas à se plaindre cl'u Collège.

A step forward in the battle of life is always important. The vessel safely anchored in the -harbor has the protection of the land and the ready help of many banns to assist her in oase of dangel'; once out on the deep, amid stor·ms, only ·her captain's skill can guide her, a~1cl to reach port and deliver her freight in good order, he must have studied and know the ocean over ~ hich he sails. The future is Hke the unturned page ot a book. From what has been read, one may guess what is to follow; yet how often one is deceived. The unread -portions of the volume not 'lllfrequently belie what has preceeded. Sequence and conclusions, though natural things, do not always flow in life, any more than in books, in natural order. A man knows the present ; he may argne, though not alw-ays correctly, to the future. Firin and secure where he stands, a step forward may precipitate him into an abyss on the other side. A step forward is therefore an important thing and worthy of consideration. The motiv es t o ad vance, to venture on untried currents and new seas, are perhaps moi·e deserving of thought than the future itself or the end proposed. U nfortnnately, in this connection, men do not always weigh motives. The boy of fifteen wi shes he was twenty -one. Why ( A hundred to one, he cannot give n solid reason, which his own j uclgment would approve ten years later. A man of twenty-five wishes he was in such and such a position? Why? l-Ie sees it from afar. Some other man occupies it to-day, occupies it well, surrounds it with becoming dignity , discharges all its obligations, gilds it perhaps with a glow of splendor. Twenty five would like the same. Yes ! the dignity, the splendor, but the obligations, the discharge of e ver multiplying dutiesthese, in his unwisdom and poverty of reflection, he has not seriously considered . The more important the future, a man looks forward to, the more important should be his consideration, the

However he may di ~~ harge the first, is his own venture and will be his own gain or loss; of how he completes his t ask towards society, t he latter will judge a-:- d decr ee condemnation or reward, in proportion to failure or ability. A man jumping from low g round to an eminence is handicapped. Better r emain on t be plain , or, by toilsome march of preparati on , seek slowly to round t he hill. Then t he athletes of the elevat ion may at least be encountered with some d egree of equality . If a man does not always jump as far as his superiors, any how he ri ses with them , and their company adds glory to hi s humbler but d0serving, though it may be, less succe::sful efforts. The difficu lty with a great many is t hat, they Rim too hig h for the slender strength nature bas g iven th em. Others again, with fair abilities, forget they hav e !:'yes, that the heavens are above them , not in the earth below, on which their v ision forever r ests. In general, it is well to aim high, but alway s within the possibilities. When a m an seeks g reat things, let him make great efforts. T he results will generally correspond with his endeavors. Otherwise, he is lik<'l ly to fhi l. Because weaklings, to our knowledge, have succeer1ed in difficult vlaces, it d ocs not foll o w thRt like success will cro>vn our ambition to imitate, what, by a mild nam e, may be termed their ras hn ess. Th ere are men to-dny, gen tle r eader, in all the professions, whose absence would be hetter than their compan y; who<e ign orn nce and lac!;:: of qn nlifi cat.ions, stand out n.ll th e mort', from the v ery em inences, on whi ch, like j ackdaws, they have cln.red to perch. There are men to-clay, pi·epnrilw to enter the professions of divinity, law, and m edi~ine, whose shall owness ot head and narrowness of heart, no more fit them for such honors, than the cattl e, they might, with some expectancy of profit, be dri ving t'o good markets. Why? Because th ey do not r ealize t he future and cannot, for their motives nre nll wrong. A noble career but with noble in tention of generously per-. forming noble duties, is something glorious fo r a true man , to ambition. A high spher e of duty, sought on ly with eyes fram u 1 in cn pi dity, eyes bleared all over with rank desire of personal enjoyment will , in the long run , wei gh d own t he selfish, nnt hinkin g clown who HndertRkes it and brand him fo r his incapacity as a foul intr nd er iHto halls of sacr ed tru sts. 1-hil-fellow-well-m et in a ny prol ess ion or fro m a ny walk in life, who takes an inn ocent by the hand, leacling the innocent to think he's a g reat man or an equal does the sbnllQw pate llann ;particularly when h. t: w. m. makes him think the j onrn ey of life is one of roses.

Darwinism, as Darwin himself stated and expounded it, is ,spread over twelve volumes. Necessarily there is in these vohnnes a good deal of repetition, as he was ii! the habit of giving a full acoount of the processes by which he arrived at his conclu sions. To the ordinary reader the narrative part of Darwin's volumes is the most interesting. There is a natural charm about Darwin's style. It is so clear, so simple, so unaffected. As a consequence there are very few books which treat o( scientific subjects which are so . readable. At . the same time the actual conclusions of the author occupy but a ~mall portion of the twelve volumes, and any effort made to put us in possession of the great leading · features of Darwin's teaching without the necessity of plodding through all his volumes is deserving of encouragement.
