MOTHER. :i\Iotlwr-, n crenture, of fondness and meekn ess, IU c~cr and <1earer than earth's precious gold, Mother-a treasure of exquisite sweetness Of affection trnnscendant-affection untold !

Tho: lightnings may leap, an d tempests may snarl, And Life's 0cean billows dash upwards on high , Her presence resembles the songbird's sweet carol, Or beauon light gle..'l.ming from out that dark sky.

In t.he dawn of existence by our cracUe lone watching, Bhe joys in our joys-she weeps in woes, Each little s-yllable dropped eve1· catching, )_Ve her fond comrad<>s wherever she goes: In sorrows and pains of life's autumn season, Abandoned by dearest, the fond est, the few' 'Vell we can utter with confident r eason, "Of all in the world she's constant an d true.

Other mn.y .flatter, some few may cherish.

May seem to caress with heaven's own love,

•

But friends even truest, lil'e fall leaves shall perish, ,Like long .fleecy clouds shall constantly move: She like the ivy that grows in the wildwood, That clings to the tree till its final decay, She, the protector, the guardian of childhood, Shall never forsake us, shall nev er betray.

Hers is the bright light, that warms the fireside, Hers is the magic that circles the home, She is the angel that watches the bedside, ·when Sickness and Sorrow with du sky wings come : When Adversity's winds around us loud bellow, · Howling, whilst seeking their prey to devour, Het~ words are the rainbow so peaceful and p1ellow That girdles our pathway after the shower.

F aithful as sunshine that comes in the morning, Faithful as starlight that comes in the eve, True as the springtime, each valley adorning, Nor chaplet of roses did son ever weave, H alf so expressive of that odor of beauty That clings 'round thE, shine of a fond mother's fame, Earth's noblest tribute-our tbndest duty To reverence, to worship that loveliest name.

LITTLE WILLIE.

(Concluded.

Five minutes later he rolled his glaring eyes again -struggled faintly-gasped-and died. The mother, kneeling by the bed-side, gazed for a moment upon the pale corpse; but seeing Willie no longer there, all the pent up agony of her soul suddenly burst forth in a perfect storm of grief. She could scarcely be controlled.

"0h Willie l 'Villie! Willie !" she would exclaim, "why were yon taken a way from us !" Then wringing her hands, she would pour furth her sorrow in such a .flood of tears, that it wou-ld seem as 1f her cup of bitterness were full to overflowing. The father, too, telt the heavy blow.

ST. VIATEUR'S COLLEGE JOURNAL.

Rising fro m beside the little • corpse of his once fai r child, hi s boso m heaven ·with emotion, and bi g tears roll eel down hi s checks; fo r ·willi e was the prid e of his hc:trt nnd th e to u11 rln.ti on of all his hope.

Two nays later a small procession of people went forth fr•)m thn,t lon ely cottng<?, hea ded by six Jittle children clothed in t he li very of sorrow, and b earin g in thei r midst a smn,ll snow-white cofli n cl eeked with the mos~ beautit"11 l finwcrs. It moved t owards the Chnrph, >U1d hn,ving e1,terecl, soon c:,me forth aml pa,;sed on ton. r emote corner of the gravey:nd. H<'r e they paused, and, lowcri11g 't.hc littl e coffin in tl1e grave prepared for it , con. signe<1 to its pr imitive element nll tha,t was m ortal of poor little \ 'Villie. Thnt night in their l<nvly cottn gr, b esid e n, clim taper, the beren,vecl parents sat lonely and n,lone. They thought of poor Willie, assuring each other that he · was in heaven, and. wonrl ering if they wou ld ever meet h im in t he life to come. They reflected upon t.he nothingn.ess of th is world's g ifts, al1(1 determ ined henceforth to plaee all their hopes in Heaven- to spend the rest of their days in serv ing God, so that th ey may perhaps yet be uniterl with thei r darl ing boy, n.ncl enj oy with him the blessings of a. happy eternity.

To-day the little cott~ge back in the fields is crumbling into r uin . Tnll weecls ann rank grass grow wild ly arcund it, the wind whistles thro ugh it ,1nd the night owl hoots from its broken casement. In the Chmchy ard by 'che .r oa dside, close to the spot where \ 'Villi e was long ago laid to rest, two other moulds of earth ma,y be seen. No stones t ell who t hey are that sleep below, but every body knows they nre the par ents of poor l ittle W illie. They li ved a good life, they cl iecl a good death, and now they are most probably united with their d:n ling boy in H eaven .

"A Home in Heaven! What a j oyfu l thought!"

CHEERFULNESS. .

In the f01~m n.tion of character the beantiful quality of cheerfu lness should never be overlooked. It is the most important of the sochl virtu es- one which is pleasing m•d acceptable to ev erybody,· and upon which mueh of t he j oy nnd happin ess of life depe1)cl. A cheerful countenance is never shnnn ed or despised; it rather attmcts, diffusing its brightn ess upon all with whom it comes in contact, and in a manner communicating to" them t!:>.e happy spirit that inspires it. It is the most reliable evid ence of our own intem al peace mzd contentment, and constitutes one of the surest n.nd most efficacious means of pr omoting the happiness of those around us.

Indeed it is almost impossible to be unhappy in the

mid st of cheerfu lness. The hardest frost of 'vinter n.l ways melts before the summer sm1; so the sourest temper sw·eetens and brightens in the atmosphere of continuous good lmm oi'. As well night fi.>g, and cloud , and vapor, l1ope to cling to the sun-illnmiu ed bndscnpe, as sullenness nncl morosencsstocombatjovin l speech and exhilerating l:w g liter. Like the morning benms of the su n, the light of a cheerfu l face spren.rls rncl iant bri ghtness, where before was nothing but chrlmrss and gloom. \ Vbo, th <:.refore, would allow hi :; life to become miserable, a ucl hi s days to rlrng heav ily, when, by the cultivation of a. plensing an d ioyous di s p~> s i t i on, the most. di smn,J shadows will van ish and the pure li g ht of happiness burst forth nron n c~ ns. In yo uth ttlis beautiful virtue should be cspecinlly nttenckd to. Tt will m nke ,.o ur company pl en.sing and :'lgree!l ble, it w ill gn.in tor us nnmerable friends, and it wi ll clitfn sc an attrnntive Lrightness around t he higher perfections of b e C~.rt and intellect. It is next .to imp o~si ­ ble to cren.te a favora ble impression upon those around ns when o nr temper is sull en and morose. To gnin .the good will of our fellow-men, we mu st b e cheerful; we throw off the chrk m~ntl e of gloom and d rj ection, t bn s proving to the m that we have a r egard for tbe feelin gs of otberl', and t.ha,t we have a rlesire to promote their h:·;pp ill e~ s, even th o ugh our own hen.rts be sore anrl sad.

1\'Inch, too, of the j oy and peace of after lite will drpencl npon the early cnlti vn,tion ofth is v irtue of cheerfulness. There is no lYtth ·but wi ll be easier travell ed, no lond but will be lig hter, no 1'h!1clow on hcnrt or brain , but wi 11 be v::tn ish sooner in the presence of determ ined good humor. Tn1 e in cle'ecl , it is not always e:1sy to we:1r a p lensing countenance when n:1nght li es beneath it but sn.cl ness anrl sorrow ; bnt, thongh such times be common in men's liv es, we mn st never theless fight bmvcly, mHl ~trive 9S best we can to <li slorl gc that arch-enemy ofonr happiness. Rem ember well th:tt sullen g loom nncl passionate despair do nothing b nt multip ly thorns and thi cken sorrow; that the ills of life must visit us sooner or later, and that if we accept them in pleasn.nt chee r, th ey will tnrn to good in our hftnds, and thus lose their apparent sting. There is nothing, in cl eecl , more heantiful and Christim l-l ike than calm n.ud checrfLl l resignation in ad versity. Dark clouds of tronble, care, and anx iety, will certainly often steal ronnel us; but bright smiles and joyous wor ds, like the sunlig ht of heaven, will paint on their bosom the beautiful r ainbow of love and peace , and thus make t hem l•>vely in the midst of their gloom.

It should be a r ule in t he con <l uct of every body, to preserve a calm and agreablc t emper. From pettishness and sullenness, nothing is to be gained; but from a cheerfu l and jolly disposition mu ch is to be hoped. \Vho that has gone forth into the world, depending upon the world for support, will tell you that urbanity of m anners and cheerfulness of disposition n.re practical• '

The people of this nineteenth century are too refined to easily tolerate sour or .;, ' gruffy temperaments, too sensitive not to be offended .: by the least failing in point of true genuine politPneEs, ! and too independent to care an iota for a person who is 1 • al ways sullen and morose and has no r egard for 'the teel ir.gs or happiness of others. Pleasant smiles and gentle words go farther than many suppose; they pt>ssess a, kind of magic power, which seldom or never f:t ils in its influence- over ev e n the most obdnrate hearts.

To all those, therefore, wllo wish to spend their day s among men peacefully and agree:1bly ; who wish to blunt the stings of life's ills anll to lessen its burlJens of trouble and care; who 'visll to rise in the estimation of tbeir fellow-man, and to be to those around them a source of pleasure and enj oyment,-to those we would commend nssiduous cultivation of this beautiful and simple virtue of r;heerfalness. It show8 not Oll l:Y a calm unselfish nature, but also a good heart and a clear conscience. Only the v irtuou s can be truly cbeerful. Tbe bad and vicious may be gay and bumorou~, but a.lways in a vn lgar and boisterous way; genuine suavity a.nd f ga.yety of manners can seldom or never be acqnirer1 by f tbose whose !warts are not good and pure.

S.ANTA FE, N .

Oct. 22th, 1884.

Very Rev . .l'I·I . J . Marsile.

Rev. and de:t r Friend.

I should ba ve written yo n long ago, and through you to my friends of "ye olden times" but thP. f:wt is I have only begun to ieel settled and have been awaiting the proper mood to give y<•u nn elaborate di scription of the str:Lnge featmes that <hily come up before one' in this strangest of strange lands; but mood;;, as well as tenses, anrl all th\ngs t hat have a sense of order, are entirely foreign to this locality; so I will have to give you a plain unvarnished tale without any of those stereotyped embellishmen~ that make Govemors of news-papermen.

I arrived in Santa Fe some two months ago, after a few week's stay in Denvir, and the featur es that at first occupied my attention have since grown so common place that it is like essaying a description of Bourbonnais, (to draw out a fe'IV pointers regarding the historic old burg.) old-well I should smile as tbe b0y has it,old e.nongh to vote you would say did you but pass through the principle business street with its monotonous rows of adobe (driefl-mnd) houses,. some of which contain more wealth within those primitive walls than

173

many of your "bloated-aristoc1atic" establishments on State ·steet .

Here and there among them stands a modern b rick, like an interloper, a beardless youth among sages: thongb the old Moor ish bui lr:iug he in the ascendency a cou1p,1mti vely short time l''ill find it a mere relic •>f anti quity, for no wbere in the world is American energy and push more marJ~ecl than here where tbe nativ<~'' don't-care-whetherschool- keep~-or - not" disposition seems to impregnate the very system of nature ! Tbose, who have taken p:Lins to look the matter 1.1p, say, that tbe prevalence of Moorish customs among the Spaniards is not less apparent here than in Europe and the tenacity 'vithwbich they hold to tbem is surprising. The houses without exception, are bu ilt in single-stories as if earthquakes were the order of the day; m u d roofs, supported by powerful piece -timbers, fill up an ideal pi cture of Babylon of old, with a profusion Of vegetation and wild fiOWbl'S Of a Liver-complaint hue covering all; the floors are of sand neatly swept and though the modern cha.ir has crept into Il,lany of the houses even though said chair he as invitingly soft as an oriental eli van they will still persist in sitting on the floor. Every house, like Desdemona's fhther's house in the Moor of Venice, is built with an open space in the centre, called a "plazita ;" thou ~ h i t. has the sky for a roof it is tbe princi pal room and strange to say after Socrates' principle of buildin g a barrel t lwy start with this and build outward.

The Sp<misb greaser, the .American ideal of cussedness does n ot ~:s:ist, unless in border mytholo~y. The natives · are to all appearance agood people; emotional, they may be sinning one minute and praying the next.

Tbere is much in tbeir character that savors of the Olcl Country Irish disposition, generOUb to a rault with tha.t primitive simplicity that seems to vanish at the very hint of contaminating modern influence. If there be one other feature, peculiar to New Mexico, barring the mountains, that reach up to tbe sublime it is this grand simplicity, I was going to call it pre-.Adamite innocence but fancy you already ridiculing me at the other end of the line.

If I only possessed the ability ot the avcmge newspaper scrilJe nncl were to remain loJJg enough to become thoroughly informed I would consider it a duty to brand some of those untruths that have h!3en spread broad cast through the Eest, regarding these paragons of ri ghteousness. They can not be outdone in their respect tor religion or its representatives.

I think the native a bacllyabuseclsubjectandifhe has a hearty detestatwn for the average American it is because he has suffered at the hands of the scape-goats that have infested the locality in times gone by. In fact the district is still pretty well r epresented by the

'rif-raf" from "bnck in the States" and, though I have y et t.o be "Mexicanized" before going b:wk on the land of my choice and of my birth I am glad to state that we have many among us representative Am ericans who would do credit to any association yet in strict ji.1stice to all I can say that virtue is below par and the moral standard is just what Americans make it.

Of course all these things belong to a border town and create no surprise. The gambling however is without q ualification, the stakes running from a nickle up to $500.00 and the paragon of American virtues, even if a church-member will sometimes bold the "4 ones" though of course ignorant of their value. To settle disputes, instead of using "Hoyle's literary gem" they toss an ounce or more of lead and are guided by how it falls and oftentimes the dissentient dealer is carried off a better representative of a mining claim than many a one located in the mountains, yet we have not every element of cussedness for the bunko-steerer seems not to have gotten farther into the wilderness than Denver. Upon coming into the city a stranger would conclude that some local dignitary had died to judge fi·om the fig ures clad in black, that steal about the streets, but there he would be diametrically wrong as white is the mourning color if the memory of a Castilian be involved.

Though taking in a few of oar Eastern nations, the conventional black shawl, drawn tightly about the mouth, is the acknowledged bead-dress and only a few years back the accoutrements of modern female warfare !mown as Gainsborough bats would be placed ·in the Archives side by side with rare emanations from (lefunct Indian pueblos (villages.)

Seeing that "'tis which is t'other and which is which" owing to the sameness in bead-dress, that eastern invention, the '•masher," would be sadly at a loss; the plot of the" Comedy of errors'' must have been conceived in some such locality, though they have raw bon'td vestals here as well as elsewhere that you might readily distinguish from the Goddess of Justice.

We have not the "masher" but the "dude'' -yes we have it if you will rank a sombrero covering a pair of top-booLs as it loose, baggy-trousers setting off his classic po11terns. The gen1;1s is the same; it is true he won't wear a heavy cane becanse the day is cold but will sport a "gun" with a meekess that would make a Moses blush, and then, you know, our species supports American timber, plays a weak game of"ante" and does other worldly things.

If you hear one say Je-rusalem! upon entering the town you may conclude that he isn't "way up in .Jograpby."- lt happens, and were I not myself posted on biblical topography I would have verily been looking about for the residence of the High-Priest, so akin are tJ:!.e street scj;)nes to those portrayed relating to the

Sacred City. The Jack-ass, or "burro" as he i& styled in the West, is everywhere (I mean that he is numerous not that he is of the angelic class). He is called the poor man's fri end and is ind~ed a living witness of God's providence: in no single feature is there such a strik::ng 'manifestation of His care for thifl portion ofthe great family. He can live upon almost anything except Western ed itor ~als . They have been known to kill, but under ordinary circumstances he can digest a volume of Ingersoland Robert is right here to corroborate my statement. He will digest a tourgeroise or an inst alment of cacti , of whi~h the mountains are full, and round up to the front door of his master's cabin in the morning with an expression ofmeekness that mocks proud human nature and a few minutes later "waltz" down the mountain side with a ''don't care if-<io'.' mood that Shakespeare was not in possession of when he wrote "The world is a stage and we are players on it"-Yet withal you would credit this little donkey with doing his part if yon met an hundred or more of them in '•burro-alley" eachwith a load of Pilion wood strapped upon his back, which conveys the idea of a good dea~ of wood and very little "burro." But thus, are ilis day s spent 11nd then he dies hard-indeed I am told in some instances he petrifies.

In support of his longev ity it is reported as orthodox, that be will slip down a mountain side, and,. after a hundred or more revolutions, fetch up at the fo ot of it, lang uidly turn on his side and give way to some of these soul stirring notes that ar e peculinr to his ilSSiness and that have won for him the sohJiquct of the mountain-canary'' and with a. boost from the propr if'tor is up on his feet and away to the market.

Now, clear friend, I think I hnve worried you suffici ently for this trip and am twisting myself abo ut on my "divan" with a view to giving you a Test. I would like to supplement one of my efforts in the snblime, for I am tbroughly filled with impressions of Santa Fe canon through which I recently passed and. which seems the reservoir of nature's gifls, but still have, thou gh western contact has, well nigh rubbed it ofr, a touch of charity that saves you from the excruciating details of " dead man's gulch" and such, for this time at lea,si. In the ordinary course of tJ:lings I shall remain here this winter, perhaps forever for this is verily the land where chronics should embrace one another and say: "Truly we have struck it well" my ecstatic dispositions are reviving for next to the weather subject I feel most at home in climatic ebullitions, so I will call a halt wishing yourself, your community, institution and old friends all that the word success indicates .

Sincerely Your Friend.

ST. VIATEUll'S COLLEGE JOURNAL. the dedication, owing to the Plenary Council, will not take place until the 21st. inst.

On the 30th. of Oct. His Grace Mgr. Bonrget, Archbishop of Mal'tia,nopolis, Canada celebrated the 85th. aniversary of hi s birth.

In the dioceSe of New Orleans, 5404 pei·f\ous have beei1 confirmed since last E:.\.Ste t· by Most Re\r. Archbishop Leray Archbishop Lynch of T oronto celebrated th~ twenty fifth ani versary of his elevation to the episcopate on November 25th.

Archbishop Gibbons has receiverl a special gi·eeting and benediction from the Pope, upon himself and the members ofthe council. The Archbishop immediately acknowlerlged the receipt.

Last month at St. Charles College, · Howard county, Mel. was celebrated tlte tricentenary of the death of St, Charles Borromeo the patron saint of the institution.

The College was found ed by. Charles Corroll of Carroll. town, one of the sign ers of the Declaration of In dependance. The present building was erected in 1848 and has been under the care of the Sulpician Fathers of Paris as a preparatory school to St. Mary'e. Seminary of St. Su lpice on North Paca St . Baltimore. llev. J. M. Schnyer the Catholic priest Litzelstetten, near Constance, has invent~d a " universal language" e:tlled Wolapuek. I-Ie studierl twenty languages in order to con&tru et one that would be of ser vire to the whole world. The rules of this langnage, it is claim ed , ar e few nnd simple and have no exeeption; any person of ord inary iu telligenee mfly master it in three or four months. The knowledge of Wolapuek would enable ecl ue ljted people to express their thoughts intelligibly to each other on · every subject, just as they now understand music and arithm etic by signs all can r ead.

It is all eged that the old est church in Ameri ca is situated in the v illage of T adousac, where the Canadian river Sagnenay flows into the St. L awrence.

The church was built by the French discoverer J aaques Cartier, for the French colony he had fo unded .

It is only a small building being only about twenty five-feet sqi1are with a very low ceiling, and was erected in 1517 t wenty-fi ve years after the discovery of the continent. It contains a very remarkabl e pictures of the Ble~sed Virgin, painted more than three hundred years ago, by one of t he J es uit Fathers of th e mission.

The objects ofinterest in the chur('h-for besides this picture, there are some ancient vestments and a very curiously embroid ered altar cloth-are freely exhibited to strangers.

PERSONALS. H aving completed his term of novitiate, Bro. Rollo

177

spends a few weeks of recreation in Manteno with F ather Chouinard.

J as. Dftnohoe '84 is teaching the rising generation of the Gar(len City.

J. J. J ennir..gs '·84 is one of our representatives, in Bttlti more. · Ed . Schubert '78 is a partner in one of the first dru g~ store in Kankakee.

Rev. T hos. Deveney '82 has returned from Albany where he . wrnt to present Gov. Cleve land with the cane voted to him at the r ecent Catholic Fai1· in Gilman.

He enjoyed the trip 'very much and pronounced the governor a paragon of good nature and politeness.

W e were agreeably sur prised last week on receiving a Jetter frofn M. P. O'Driscoll '82 . H is health which, for the past two years, has been very poor is slowly but surely, retumieg, thanks to the mild climate of Santa Fe, New Mexico, where he is spending the winter. W e hope to see him with us next year sufficiently recovered to continue his· emus~ of studies.

EXCHANGES. Onr olcl friend and name-sake the "College J ournal" from N. Y. City is welcomed to our "Sanet·u m" t'his week after many months of unaccountable absence. \Ve are rejoiced to see that it has lost none of its former meritorious q uali ties.

The "Occident" from Kalamazoo is raising its literary sta.J1(hrcL "Valu e of Fiction" in the last issue was a noteworthy paper.

St. Mary's Sentinel is r etaining !ts former position among College Journals. "T. W . continues to m1ite some charming verses :-"When my Ship comes in'' in t he last issue wds a brilliant piece of composition.

"King"s College Record" like all our English Exchanges is an exeellant literary J ournal. We are r ejoiced to learn that the little difficulties that lately exisitecl between F aculty ancl students have been amicably adjusted.

Onr old friend the "Carson Index" comes to hand this week for the first t ime. In app("aranee and in matter, the In~ex is as sprightly as ever.

The "High School Ind ex" of Ann Arbor Mich. is undoubtedly first as a practical educational magazine.

Our schools and colleges need many more of the same kind of Journals. vVe welcome the "Rt. J ames Reveille" from Macon Mo. and gladly place it on our exchange list. It is well gotten up. "Success" in the issue now before us is an able piece of composition.

Of the Torch from N. J ersey we can say scarcely anything- as its columns are filled for the most part with ad vertisements.
