The following ballad written \>y th'e gifted "Father Prout" c01nmemorates the glorio us vict ory gained by the Christian Powers pv er the Tnrks in t he battle @f L epanto. The defeat of the Infidels is a ttl'ibuted t o the prayer of the Rosary, the p ublic rec it~ ti o n of which has been ordered by the h oly · F ather dm·ing this mont h to av el't evils not 'less in a sp ir itn a~ sense than t lwsc of t he sixteenth century. Let us sing how the boast of the Saracen host . In the Gulf of L ep antv we scn,tter ecl, When each Knight o f St. J ohn from his cannon of bronze, With grape-shot their argos ies batter 'cl. Oh l we taught the Turks then, that of E urope the m en C0uld defy every Infidel menaceAnd that stiH o'er · the main float the gnlleys of Spain , And the r eel-lion st anc1arcl of Venice. Quick we made the foe skulk, as vve blazed nt ca<..:L hulk , .while they left us a s p linter to fire at ; And the r est of them fl ed o' er the wat ers blooc1-red vVith the gore o f the Ottom a n Pirat e ; And our navy gav e chase t o the l1i fi del R ace, Nor allowed them n, moment to r ally ; And we forced them at leng th to ack no wl edge o m strength, In the trench, in the fi eld , in the gall ey. Then our men gav e a shout., and the ocean t hroughout, Hea1'd of Christendom's trium ph w ith rap tu r e· G al1iottes, eighty-nine, of the enemy 's line; To our swift~sailing ships fell a capture; An,d I firmly maint~ in that the number of slain, To at least forty tho,u san d amonntecl ; To be sure ' twas sad work, if the life of a Turk For a moment were worth being coun ted.

life's stern realities liad swept away many of the olu walls were letting in the last rays of a beautiful summer familiar landmarks that formerly served to guide my evening's sun-the old door swung to and fro upon you~hful ~teps, enough remained tO recall quite creaking rusty hinges, the ·soot-covered chimney was distinctly the bright and sunny p::.st when all was as perceptibly falling-while the aged, cracked stove which , , merry as a marriage bell. The shattered structure was sci often contained a cheerful, blazing, ghdsome fire to ~till standing on the banks ofthe creeping sedgy stream make the young heart rejoice, was as brown as the th~ qld rocks On the brown hill side were still visible; autumn leaves. Whilst gazing upon these scenes, filled while the weath~r beaten mill on the opposite shore, with loneliness, filled with a certain despair in being though. lone and desolate was yet recHning over the , tinknown in now ali almost unknown land, with no craggy brows of the venerable river. I looked to the one nigh to impart to me any information concerning the N.orth, to the South, to the East, to the West, to meet a past and the·inumerable changes a few decades of years frl~nclly face; to find some one who might inform me had wrought, the sound of a heavy wagon was heard on of the ravages of time aroand the home of my boyhood the old drawbridge that crossed the stream by the mill, since my many years of absence. I st101led .about the I hastened to the street across the green sward-! surn;>unding meadows, I visited the white-capped grave- accosted the stranger who was a big burly fellow of some yard on the green hill-side down the shadowed lane, forty summers enquiring of him in anxious tone, if any but ftom no one and in no place conld· I find any of the old boys of long ago were yet in the neighborsojourner to unfold to me the cause of the desolation . hood. I did not have to wait long for a reply. He gazed recognizable all around, all was sad-all was silent. The at my face-he scanned my features, he grasped my hand sounds of boyhood revelry had long since died out-the he almost kissed me-it was old Tom Brown~my merry patties had long ~ince been broken-comrades former classmate,-he knew me. To say what plea5ures had long since been turn asunder-father and mother were the result of such a meeting would be an impossihad passed away-"gone" was written on the once bility. The past- the good old days of schoolboy life j•>yous surroundings-"gone and gone forever". My were called back-and each fond incident was passed sonow knew no bounds-yet I lingered, yet I tarried over in revie>Y between us-whether in relating some amid the scenes of~arlier years communing with myself humorous anecdote that produced unbounded laughter about the dear departed. The dear old schoolmaster or in sadly commenting upon some fair-haired, · Tosy who taught me my alphabet and who so often pulled ·cheeked boy, upon whom misfortune had fallen_;_or my ears, where was he? Where was that smiling face. whose departure from terestrial things had left a vacant that greeted t~e children ot the village on their arrival chair. Youthful days, what a charm, they possess a cold, frosty morning? Where was that tenderhearted especially when the brilliancy of their sunlight is already old man whose greatest joy was to partake in our inno- fading before the darkness of the long d_reary wintry cent recreations, onr juvenile sports? Had that fond nights of old age! Boy hood hours what countless pleasheart also ceased to 'beat? Alas! it had I knowingly ures they contain, when the young life is th1·obbing with concluded-"gone'' I uttered, as a tear fell upon the the warmth of its earliest pulsations, when the young hallowed ground upon which I once so nimbly capered flower is bE1ginning t.o bud out and blossom into the main the golden rainbowed past. Whilst pondering upon turity of manhood't~ spring! And on this occasion none the perishableness ot all hum'Bn things, methought there could better appreciate these .truths than ourselves-truths came to my ears the sound of the ofd bell slowly which all men, no matter in what condition of life, sw!nging to and fro from the weather-beaten cupola would once more gladly !-"ealize, were it permitted.

With fond affection would we all retain the for some indication of life, castjng an eye towards the perpetual springtime of a youth, and the world's wealth, dustcovered, · elevated desk, towards my old seat, which so many esteem in preference to their immortal .towards the few pious pictures that adorned the rude soul should be gladly abandoned to cdntinually possess walis-but in no place could I find evidence of any vital forces that bestow health, vigor and energy to thing save long abandonment, total neglect, total the barefooted, ragcovered boy who dances in merriforgetfulness, a fading monument of boyhood's happy ment over the crowded streets of our large cities.

To a mind cnpable of reflecting s~riously on the history of the nineteenth cent m y, many subj ects are offered as food for meditati on. But fi·om whate.ver standpoint it may be viewed , whether scientific, literary, or artistic, the question naturally :J rises : Have we improved on th e olden tim es? That we have made wonderful ad vancement in science, there can be no shadow of doubt, but whether the spirit of this nd van cement has been beneficial or injurious to the hu_m an mind is quite another question. In reacting the liv es nnd in stu(lying the characters of
our cont~mporary savants, one is astonished to find that they ai·e men of little or no religious convictions; men, seemingly so wrapt up in their scientific specialties as to have lost sig ht of the First Great Cause and in striving to supply hi s place, wandering . through mazes of the most ridiculous philosophy. Huxley , Spencer and a host of others ar e undoubtedly men of brilliant tal(imt, but they are , as apparently ignorant of the eternal truths as the babe unborn. Tbe,re is somethi]1g · wrong in this ; what that sOJ:p.ething may be is beyond vur knowledge to ascertain. Truth , whether revealed or acq uired by reason, is eternally one. Why, then, should the scientific knowledge of our advanced thinkers clash with the truths ot revelation? The conclusion. forces itselfthat their deductions are based on false principles-and on such a foundation they can never build. a temple to replace the chureh of Gorl. Mankind is in possession of the eternal truths and, until our parvenu free thinkers c:Jn perform th e impossible task of falsifying them the will tenaciously clings to that possession. This is one phase ofthe ninteenth century progress. In Literature, our pretentious are as utterly groundless. Lord Byron and_Lord Tennyson are admittedly the . master poets of this century. The genius of the former is universally admired; the inimitable graces of his sty le are the pride of literary connoisseurs. But were not the w'o rld better, had Loi·d Byr~h - n~ver\ived? J,ite~atme is a means, LOt an enrl. What useful obj~et Byron attnined by his writing, critics have failed to perceive. Tlte character of the man exerts a powerful influence over the works of the writer, and the ch ar~ ter of Lord Byron was certainly not a n admirable one. While ranging delightfully over one of the lovely scenes of his creation, enjoying the cool ocean breeze beneath his own Italian moon , we fear the envenomed hiss ot his snakelike cynicism and recoil in horror from the lurking dangers of his enchanting, yet satanioal, paradise. Nor does Lord Tennyson merit the literary distinction that his friends would claim tor him. Brilliant as he is amid the lesser lights. that shine around him, his brightness pales before those suns of Literature who shone in form er ages. He is yet living and of few living poets can it be said that they received their jnst meed from their contemporaneous critics. Compar e him witli Shakespeare, Milton or Spencer and then judge as y out· good sense dictates. What has been said of our poets may, with equal trut}l, be said of our prose writers. Their works are now, in the full bloom of y outh, but the chill frosts of age will nip their smiling buds. In the grave of the past lie buried works tha.t in their day were locked tipon as produets of giant-minds. So will our writings be judged by an imparti al posterity .

路 ST. VIATEUR'S COLLEGE JOUHNAL. It is in art, however, that our poverty most openly displays -itself The days of Da Vinci and Murillo are g-onej never to return, until the changes of time have fortned a better generation of men. Governments may .encourage, generous patrons may lavish wealth but nothing strikingly original in art Cl:Ul be produced. The reason is sofflciently obvious. A true artist cannot labor , without 11: worthy' aim. To acquire wealth and prominence in SOciety, to see the result of years Of patient application exhibited to the passing glance of a hurrying crowd are motives not suflioi~ntly elevated to awake that. ambition neeessary to the production ot a great arkreation. In the Catholic times the grand old maste~ lived to see their works embellish the almost supernatural beauty of the Gothic cathedral It was the height of their ambition to produce something that would raise a struggling soul to the contemplation of higher things; their labor was a labor of love and nobly did they perform it. This was a motive worthy the noblest intellect and this was the motive that gave the world an Angelo and a Raphrel. . In the fac~ of such considerations can we call our century an age of progress in that which is good or admirable?

Dear Father Marsile, I cannot refuse your very kind request to furnish you with some information relative to Arizona and New Mexico-Mexico's old provinces- tho' I am scarcely able to find time for it. New Mexico and Arizona are as your re.'l.d ers all know stock-raising countries. Their superficial conformation suits them for nothing else. Vast tracts of rolling ground-large valleys fenced in by natural walls forming the sides or faces of mesas-then the great expanses of the mesa surfaces themselves. Water is found only a t great intervals and with difficulty in supplies sufficient for herds. Then there are mounta.in regions-the Sierra Madres running through New Mexico-the White and San Francisco groups fig uring in ArizoM. Grass is almost everywhere. Ev ery where too are evidences of

terrifie upheavels. There is written in the face of Arizona especially, in characters such as God alone can write in, and which time will never erase, the records of terrific volcanic npheav els and changes. New Mexico has her Indians, so has Arizona, like all the rest of this continent. The puebloes- .so called be- . cause they live in pueblos (in villages), are the peculiar Indians of New Mexico. In pueblos they were found by the Spanish explorers 'Yho came into what is now New Mexico in the 16th. century, and there they still livetheir grounds secured to thtom by our government and their tribal Jaws respected. They are a peaceful semicivilized people, their structures, · rude things of mud called abode, their manner of tilling the soil now, as when the Spaniards first beheld them, primitive and of that rudeness which the bible tells of in patriarchal times. They are not warlike, They love peace. They have clung perversdy to their heathen rir,hts, through ages ofbesottetl ignorance-shut out from the true light of reveiationalmost the commandments which are written by God 'in every human heart illegible to them-they, like the . Indians of Alizona, are a terrible example of what comes lmto a people for running counter to the laws divine and natural. The Indians of Arizona are the Navajoes whose range originally and whose immense Reservation to-day extends into New Mexico, and the Apaches-the fiercest and most brutal Indians ofthis hemisphere. The Navajoes are the most numerous of all Indian tribes-they number now about 20,000. They have never given any serious trouble since Kit Curson overcame and almost destroyed everything they had in bringing them to terms. The Apaches who are closely held on Reservations in Arizona and New Mexico have been the scourge of Arizona ever since the Spaniards set foot upon it down to very recent years.-within the last dec..'tde in f;tet. They murdered, they burned, they ra':'aged, they destroyed everywhere. The record of their clepredations . constitutes some of the moot fiendish pages which pJ.:eserve accounts of man's depravit.y. Of all these Indians not one of them id aware of h1s origin. The real story of their past has slipped from them ages ago. If asl{ecl of their origi~, a ludicrous genealogy-resembling the folk-lore of Africa-starting from the rabbit, the coyote or the prairie dog will be the reply. That they are not the aborigines-the first inhabitants ofthese vast territories-is evident from the fact that there exist to-day architectmal remains indicating a civilization higher than that of any of the present Indians, and of these structures and as to who lived in them, they can say nothing. In the Canon de Chelley, in Eastern Arizona, in Southern Arizona near the present city of Tncson, :tnd throughon t this region are found these rem:tins of an ancient people who must
: . . ' have be.:; a in the enjoyment of much of tb,os~ comf!)rts arid arts which is the,boast of our civilization to-d:ay. But no record lags to tell who or whence they, were or what they did. An in vasi<?n of barbarian,s, such as that wli'ich Europe suffered, <·arne upon them, but with more t('rrific results, for by it they were wiped away. One of the strange featu"res connected with these archeological remains is that they are nevnr found near spring or rivers. Yet the fragmentary existence of acequias (water duct&} shows us ·t hat they had wath whose sources have disappeared. Was i't not after all the· invasion of fierce northern or southern or western hordes which blotted out this people-but was it some dreadful change of nature which dried up the river and the secret welling I?laces of the spring? No record lags to tell. Tile climate of these regions-like the climate of an areas of a considerable altitude above the sea-levelis very healthy, and its far southern situation renders it in summer and winter an extremely enjoyable one .. It is one especially favorable to those who arP so unfortunate as to have weak lungs. Its almost constant sunshine cheers the invalid-and its pure bracing air strengthens nnd sustains him. And now. dear Father, I must say adieu, but may it prove to be au rev01:1·. If my leisure permits and yo~ should still desire there are many other things in tfiese old territories which could interest if not instruct the ~

educational instit utions of any standing possessing an Organ for t.he ex pression of opinion, specially for stimulating young men to cultivate the great practical science of composition. Of all the influences that control the people of a nation in tb i age, the newspaper may be regarded as the g reatest. The Journal the P eriodical, the magazine- each in its t urn is a mighty instrumen t either in ad vm1cing the masses in mental as well as in moral acqu irem~nts-or in holding back t he progress of good government or in scattering b t-oadca t the seeds of iniquity or of unsound doctri ne~. The freedom of the Press however should not be abused--and such a gigantic vehicle ·of thought should always be co;.ducted for the benefit of the mm1y, for the inj ury of none. C_ollege ,Jonrnals however as a rule have reason to feel proud of their concl uct in this matter. Their mi sion ~eing to amuse, to instruct, to impa rt ambition to the young mmd, t hey as a rule confine themselves within those bonuds- scm·ely ever wandering out into the domain of politics or mixing up with questions of national supremacy- or national excellencies recognizing the fact tbnt we are all members of the same h umnn fami ly and consequently ~qu al. The mission of our coll ege papers is certainly praiseworthy , and their literary efforts must smely be regardecl as worthy of patwnage by any thinking m:tn. In glaneing over t he various College and Aeademic .Journals, it is a matter of surprise- but a matter worthy of recognition to note the amount of pains-the amount of labor, bestowed upon t hose periodical publications- and this is to be more esteemed when we l"eflect that such work is something extra to regular clnily routine occupations. , It is pleasant to us to note tee general good will that all manifest towards one another especially as these .Journals represent various sects, who at times manifest anything towards eachanother bu t friendly feelings. We extend the hancl of friendship to our many contempories for the scholastic term of '84 and '85 and trust that our future acquaintaneeship shall continue and that our former associations shall be filled with m:my as pleasant memories as in the past.
