Never despair in this world of strife Tho' the day be both dismal and dark, Tho' Adversity ruffit>s the ocean of life, Let H ope g uide the prow oi your bark! The world so changeful, if tearful to-day, Joyful you maJbe to-morrow, E'er 'mid the gloom is hiuing a ray Of sunshine to drive away sonow. Never despair on the rough thornypath, For tread if you must and you cab, Gaze at the tempest wreaking its wrath And neve?· forget you're a, man! Climbing the mount that leads to the Spring, Where Repose and Contentment e'er elwell, Doubt not that songster on rustling wing, In smne passage frequently fell. Never despair, tho' torrents and floods Sweep by you in Fury's career, Fierce as the Hurricane.flees o'er the woods
Never despair 'mid crags hanging o'er, That frown in their majesty gray, Nor tremble, nor quake 1fore billows that roar, Or lightnings tllat leap to dismay! The Rainbow of peace across the broad zone Shall stretch out her glittering ring, Shall lull once again the waters that moan, Their requiem peaceful shall sing.

Charybdis and Sylla before you may stand Their clark shadows far o'er the waves. Like monster Leviathan nigh the Norse land In the haunts of his gurgling caves: 'Mid the loud breakers that tosshigh the foam Pilot your boat swift but sure, And sound of the Sirens' melliflous tone Shall never bewitch, nor allure. · Fortune so fair may rise in the East Her gold she may hring to the West But, a:; the flowers that bloom at a feast May perish when .mostly caressed: But never depair the stars in the sky Shall shine out as bright as of old, Wand'ring planets, that furthermost lie, A story of bliss can unfold. Never despair, whilst trying to array With virtues uniting to God, Heaven shall all your troul:)le repay, When this valley of tears you've trod! Tho', like the fish flying from the brine You fall back to sin, yet, beware! Of frailty hnman its only a sigh, So never despair, despair! J.P.M.

ST. VIATEUR'S COLLEGE JOURNAL, CATHOLICS IN THE REVOLUTION.
The 22uct, inst.. beiug the birth<la.y of the father of our co •tntry, it seems not out of place in this JOURNAL to vinct icate the true patnotism exhib ited -by our Catholic foretatlters in the strnggle for itJdepenrlence, as ·well as to give expression in some way to the fee lin gs of love and ~ grcttitud e which we, as, chi ldren of the Church of Rome to-day entertain to\vard thes immortal ·w ashington and the nation which he founded. ·w ant of loyalty to the state, or opposition to liberty whether civil or reli<Yious, was never a characteristic of. Catholics; on the · 0 ' contrary, •wen in cou ntries where it was a crime to profess their religion, th ey have never exhibited thcmsel ve.; otllenvise th m as faithful and devoted citizens proncl of national honor a nd zealous in defenee of their national rights. At the outbret1k of the American Revolution, their number iu the Colonies kas compnratively smn ll. They were made up of evcl'y nationality and existed fur the most part in scattered and detncbed bodies. W"itb the exception of the Catholic colony of Mary bnd, the birthpbce or religions freedom in America, they were frequently denied the free exercise of their religion, and in many places were even per9ecuted by the!r intolerant brethren. As soon, however, as the cry of Freedom went f\)rth through the land, forget ,ting these pd vate wrougs they everywhere espoused the common cause, and in tl1eir hearts echoed back the responsive cry -:-Liberty and Independence. ' ¥'hen the news of Lexington reached them, they could be seen hurrying forth in little bands from 'their distant settlements, all ready and anxio us to meet the perils of war and to oppose with their liv es every incroachruent of tyrannical England. · There were among them many patriots, but no tories and cmph.atically no traitors. Witness the prominent part taken in the stuggle by the Carrolls of Maryland; one Charles of Carrollton, a signer of the Declaration of Independence; another; Daniel Carroll, a. member of the Continental Congress; and a third, the well known Father John Carroll, who with his co usi:1 Charles mtd Benjamin Franklin, was requested by Cono-ress to proceed to Canada and to use his influence to 0 ' secure the cooporatiun of the people of that province in the attempt to throw off the galling yoke of England 'Witness, too, the priceless services rendered by the founder of our navy, the illustrious Commodore Barry, who from 17~0 t u 1781 kept thefiagofthe Union undimmed on the seas, and who in the end had become such a terrtJr to English seamen that large sums of money and offices of the highest mnk were offered him if be would only desert the cause-which, thank God, he never did.
Nor was it t.O.e Catholics of America only, that swelled the armies of Washington and imperilled ·t heir lives in the battJes of the Re"\;oluti:on. The first roar of our musketry at Lexington and Bunker Hill, echoillg ov.e r the broad Atlantic, sent a thriH of roving sympathy · through the Catholic hearts of EuFope, and imrberliat!~ ly a th6i1sand gRHantsworrb leaped frotil'theirscalibat•ds., i and n: thotism1d ga ll nut her<fes · 'verei 'on tbei~ :Wroy M:' join and to help us in our strnggle ·to free. Sl1aUAver'. ever forget the emiment services rendered us ib that hour of need, by Lafayette, by Pulaski, by l{oscitlsko · or the innumerable brave and generous Catholic soldiers whose souls we1'e too chivalrous to stand aloof and see Freedom bleed even iH the 'wil<'ls of a new and distant world. Their names are inseperably united with that of Washington, and like Washington's, they will be ever held by ns in fond remembrance, ever a8sociat. eel with the glories of our country, -a nd ever numbered among the storied brave who bartered their blobd for the l.i berty of America. Never ind ~ed, 'vas there sucli harmonious and .effectual · Catholic action as that which was exhibited a huuclred years ago in om· struggle fur independence. CRtholies labored with zeal anfl ability in the the ·c0unci lL.all, in the army, and in the n:w y; Catholics ca 1merl the .hostility of the lnd~ans in the I\n1·thwest, ilnd prrvented them ; .£rom hfagi.ling ''Vith tlie '"'0a,l11telt~iiJ:l's ·; ·-: Catholic Italy and the Catholic provinees of Germany exerted thcmsel ves not a little in our be baH; · Catholic Spain, besides assisting with money :md supp)i,es, suecee'decl in bahdi,lg all · Con'tinental Europe agai11st England; wbile Catholic France, not content with paltry offerings, sent over to us whol e fleet~ ancl armies, that won many important battles and aidecl ns effectually iu dealing the last and orowlling blow at York-town. But in thu:; lancling those Catholic heroes and recounting the valuable services rendered by them in the war of Independence, be it well under;,tood that it is far from being our inteution to detract ,a single iota from the fame or the name of Washington. The crown of glory that decks his brow is set with gems of rarest brilliancy, and though it were in o ur power, we wou ld not remove from it even its (]arkest jewel no more than we would defhme or curse the f~~tber to whom we owe our life. Washington. we fr .:t nkly acknow:ledg~, :':.~s .th ~ .,;, Moses of the American people, the one who released them from the bondage of Englieh appressiou and led them into .t he promisd land ofliherty and independence. 'What we wish to be understood is that throughout the whole strucrule the ch ildren ot the Catholic Church 00 never f:linhced from their duty, and never showed themselves otherwise then as a true, generous, and libertyloving people.

,, fmn1de<l by ·washington, gave them what the old had denied, namely the sacted and inestimahle rights of conscience, the freedom to worshjp God according to the dictates of their own hearts. This to us, children of ·t he Church of Rome, is a great boon, a great privilege; for, although it is a natural right and one which the powers of man should never take from us, yet since the days Qf Chdst, .ye have been so often and so universally depraved of it, that it seeJilS no longel' a prerogative of t.atme, and that it comes n;:>w not from God but from the kii1gs and princes of the earth. The Catholic Church indeed, has lived so long in Catacombs, in dreary deserts, and in the dark caves and deep recesses of mountains, that to be allowed to come forth into the world ann enjoy the light of day seems to her now not a right but a privilege. It is Ot1 this account that we tell grateful and thankful to-day to ihe country of ·washington, which has guaranteed to us not only civil but r eligious libPrty, and ""hich has pledge herself to extend over us, l•oth as Catlwlics and as ·citizens, the regis ofher protection. Unlike so many other nations of the earth, she h1.s not yet as ~triven to banith us from her <'fomain, or to hunt us into the clark lo::1ely re cesses of mountains. Although born of a mother whose fiendish hands were r(:-d as scm· let with the blood of Catholic..<>, hers a8 yet are free from stain. May they ever remain so, pu-re ancl ·white. May the friendly telation existing now between her and the Catholic Church always contin11e, May the one l•e the instrument of the others progress; ,a nd may it not be long until the banner of the Cross will float side by side with the Stars and the titripes-Rome and America one in Christ.

FATHER RYAN'S POEMS.
The object of all poetry is to bring sustenance to the 1eeli11gs, to that part of our nature which lies between the intellect ana the will; which is open to every pleasing influen ce and responds to every impression. There is not a thing on earth, but has a poetic side, which would touch the feelings could we but perceive its hidden beauty. To the true poet is this grand power given. His, is a sensitive nature. His eye detects a beauty and a meaning in things-a beauty and a meaning, which escapes ordinary vision. His object is to put this meaning or beauty into a picture, using words as his colors. Nothing is too high for the poets reach, and nothing is so insignificant that it may not furnish a subject for his verse. He catches glimpses of outward and inward beauty; and by the aid of his fancy he
works them into pictures, which hang on the walls of our memories; reflect their pleasing influence on our feelings and become in our dark hours a never failing .source 01 delight and consolation. · These two elements, dolight and consolation, are especially characteristic of the podry of Fr. Ryan. The musi cal flow of his verse, clear as the chimes of silver bells; the beautiful and striking figures, scattered throughout his poetry, like flowers on the meadow, are the sources of never failing delight to the reader. Aside from this there is in many of his poems that element of consolation, which constitutes one of their chief merits. No one can tell how sweet those songs have sounded to hearts that were laden with care and sorrow; no pen can describe the consolation they have brought to those on who,:;e brows, life's thorns have sharply pressed. This is why his songs are so much in unison with the feelings of our hearts. They are-as be himselfso modestly saidtrue in .tone. They ar,:; the silent friends whose unlooked for sympathy stirs every fibre of our being, bec·a use they are songs that: "Gushed from the heart, As showers from the clouds of Summer Or tears from the eyelids start." There is however, a low wail of grief running through these poems. It seems like the shadow of some great sorrow. ·rn oue of his songs be asks: "Why does your · poetry sound like a sigh?" but he does not give the an.swer. Yet his poems in general give us the solution. If, after reading them, you seek the reason of their prevaling undercttrrent of sadness the cause _immediately strikes you. It is their truth. They strike the keynote of human life, for life is made up of smiles and tears, or as he terms it-" a laugh- and a moan." Yet though be gives us a true picture of human misery and woe, there is never wanting in this picture the background of consolation. By comparing two stanzas of the poem entitled, "A Thought" we may better comprehend this. ''For no eyes have there been ever without a weary tear, And those lips cannot be human which have never heaved a sigh; For without the dreary Winter there has never been a year, And the tempests hide their terrors in the calmest Summer sky." "And our dim eyes ask a beacon, and our weary feet a guide, And our hearts of all life's mysteries seek the meaning and the key; And a cross. gleams o'er our pathway, on !t hangs the Cru0ified, And he answers all our yearnings by the whisper, "Follow Me."

THE RAVINE.
Among the many gems vf nature's handiwork, s uch as mnrmuring brooklets, magnificent rivers, lovely valleys and lofty mountains,· there is one situated near our college home and is known as "The Hermit's R.·wine." This spot is so beautiful that it merits something more ... than a passing notice. As the traveller wends his way through the sleepy little hamlet of Bourbonnais, his attention is attracted by a small sluggish stream scarcely moving through its narrow bed, as it flows slowly but surely towards its pl11.ce of' destination. About a quarter of a mile trom the Kankakee river the ground rises to the h ~ ight of srxty or seventy feet nbove the level of the river; nnd::~s the strean:: nears this spot it moves t~1ster and faster until it throws itself into the ravine and goes dancing along over the pebbly floor and keeping time to the music ofits own soothing voice. In Springtime, when the ice and snows of the surrounding country are melting, it is a grand sight to behold this little sparkliPg rivulet tramformecl into a
mighty cataract foaming and hissing along with terrific fury until at last it plunges into a y~wning gult a.nd is lost forever in the river. But notw:thstanding the imposing grandeur of this scene iH Springtime, it cannot be compared to its exquisite lovelineds in Summer.

Near the western terminus of the mvine is situated what is callecl by the students, the "Cave" which at sometime, very likely, was the abode of some lover of solitude, or perhnps the refugE.' of the Indians during the time ofhostiJ;tif's. At; present it is simply used as a place where such rom:mtic pastimes as roasting apples or carving names 011 tl1€' rocks are indu lgerl in bv some of the youthfnl occup~nts of onr ·'Alma Mat~r." This inviting retreat has t-een · for yeaTs tb.e resort. of pleasure seeking students, where tbey might throw off the restraint of di~oipli r e and the fntigue of hard study and enjoy themselves for a few hours in in_ nocent gaiety and amusement which, by giving rest to their over burdened minds, prepared them fur hig!wr and more noble achiev ements. I clare say there is not one of the olcl stnrlents who, thinking of those happy days spent at St. Vinteur's, does not sincerely wish that he were with his old class-mates once more and could pay a visit to this <1elightful spot which was the scene of his youthful enjoyments.
