THE STUDY OF THE CLASSIC Hterature of any language is always a serious pursuit; it is even sometim es an arduous task, hut in the end it affords the student the most exquisite forms of intellectual enjoyment. It unveils to his searching eye the minutest shades of nationa.l customs and tastes, an<l makes him personally acquainted, as it were, with the living geniuses of r'o rmer ages. It is not our purport here to enter into a dis c u ~siou of the pro and con of the "Old Classic" question. As the ancient Latin and Greek models partly form the outline of our course of studies we are quite satisfied to follow the course as it is, and thus to enjoy the advantages of a fair, we will not presume to to sn.y thorough, knowledge of the old authors.

*** IN ORDER TO BECOME familiar with, or even merely to understand satisfactorily the works offoreig n authors, especially of ancient ones, it is oftentimes necessary to read over a few times the page under consideration, and after analyzing and accounting for the word-for-word there is nothing better calculated to make the student understand a11cl relish any of their given works than a synopsis of the same. ·

* ** A "BOY'S FIRST ATTEMPT" in boiling down t he p1·inciples of the "Art of Poetry" will appear in t 'lis number of the J ottmal. The task required at first a. literal translation aml analyzing of that epistle, and then a rendering into Latin of the most essential sayings contained in the whole. The study is divided into four themes of which two are published with only few corrections t o the student's own labor. vVe do not, of course, wish to palm off our home-made as classic Jatin. Our s~le purpose is, as explained abo-ve, arriving at a clearer understanding of the many beauties of this book of Horace.

The bi_tter contest wilich at the present is going oil in our country between labo r and capital is doing something to rouse up th.e pu bliu mind to a re..'tlization of the true state and con ditio n of tLings, · anct to draw t he attention of tbougbtfu l people to a consid er:ttion of the ca u~>es oft~ social distnrl•ant:e, of the proba 1Jie effect s which m:ty flow from it, anrl to an inquiry into those means which might in some way help to r emedy it.

Le Sauveur, avant leur départ, D'une parole de tendresse Daigna consoler leur tristesse,

Le printempa sourit à la terre, Le cieli?lus pur, avec ses pleurs, Répand. des torrents de lumière; Et la plaine, triste naguère,

Les bénir d'un dernier regard. Et depuis, ô truupes charmantes, Vous ne redoutez plus nos coups. Aux cieux, vous volez triomphantes,

Semble une corbeille de fleurs.

Et malheur aux mains malfaisantes

Déjà sur la l>ranche fleurie,

Qui blessent l'une d'entre voui1

L'oiseau porte des fils soyeux

Laissez donc vos loima!ns rival(es.

Qn'illie à la mousse flétrie

Suspendez Ici votre voL

Pour dresser sa tente chérie,

Roucoulez vos plus gals ramages.

D'l•ù s'élancent des cris joyeux.

Disparaissez dans les nuages,

Vous seules, ô mE>s hirondelles,

Puis :rewene.z raS& le sol,

N'êtes pas encor de retour.

.T'aime tant oo Tlant dédale

Ne me seriez-vous plus fidèles? Pourtant les so,trces sont si belles

Qu 'en votre .gracieux essor Vous traeez avee la ra.fale,

Et si radieux est. le jour!

Lorsque l'aurore matiiuale

Jamais une balle assassine

Dans les airs vous ramène en<:orl

Ne porta clans votre séjour

Mais en vain ma vue anxieuse

L'a.tlllction et la ruine;

Vous demande depuis longtemps;

C'est là que ma main vous destine

Au eiel pas d'aile voyageuse Ne distrrutt mon âme ~:êveuse:

Les caresses de m<Jn amour. L'homme vous aime et vous révère.

Ne tardez plus, je vous

at1lends~

Vous êtes libres en to"t lieu _ Vos nids pendent à la chaumière l!:t partout la voix populaire

LES LIS DE VOURLES.

Vous nomme les "oiseaux de Dieu." Car lorsque, sur la croix sanglante, Mourait, trahi par l'amitié, Jésus, la victime innocente, Seules, à sa plainte expirante, Vous vous émfitE>s de pitié. Ou dit qu'alors, !ombre, chagrine, Une légion de vos sœurs Brisait la couronne d'épine Qui perçait la face divine Et de 1'alle essuyait ses pleurs. Et que, ranimant sa faiblesse,

Le P . Marsile, lors de son T oya~ eu Franœ, a emporté des lis du jardin de la Comm:mauté. Quelques uns ont été donnés à des amis du Canad~t et d'ici, Qù ils fle uriront, odorants souvenirs de l'ancienne mère Patrie et de la jeune fam ille de St. Viateur. Deux de ces charmantes plantes oont. main.tenant en fleur dans la chapelle du Collège. Depuis longtemps, leurs tiges s'élevaient frêles et gracieuses et prenaient tous les jours de nouvelles feuilles: on aurait dit autant d'ailes d'éméraude s'apprêtant à porter la blanche fleur au ciel.

LE ROLE PROVIDENTIEL DE LA FRANCE. (Continu é ) 4ième PARTI~':. La Fmnce 1 que nous 1wez vue élevée nu f:~îte del.'l. gloire et de la pnit~sance, roule tout :\ eoup dans nn précipice de malheurs inouïs. Pendant un siècle, ce n'est qu'tm enchaînement: cte revers qni h cnndui:;e ;,

que son intervention fut incontestable, 'il sè servit du bras d'une femme. Il appela Jeanne d'Arc de la garde de ses troupean:::s::, et la plaça à la tête des derniers débris des armées Françaises pour en faire la terreur tles An ghis, la libératrice ùe ~on pny' etl'admirationdessit cles! Les desseins de Dieu étaient accomplis. La France avait repris sou auLique splendeur, ranimé sa foi engourdie, source de ses infortunes et était prête à combattre la nouvel ennemi qui allait se lever contre la religion! C'étnit le syst€me d 'erreurs qu'avait enfanté les passions d'un moine orgueilleux et rl 'un roi adultère, c'était la prétendue Réforme, le Protestantisme! La France mit un siècle ct demi :l. le vaincre, Tantot réduite !LYCc la Ligue :l sc retran cher dans une capitale affamée: tantôt pleine de force sous Richelieu, elle l'emporta cufin s11r cc red outable ad versai re qui menaçait de scinder l'unité de J'Etat et de l'Eglise Gallicane. Et pour couf·onnement de ces luttes gigantesque~, apparaît Louis XIV, escorté d"nne foule incomparable de génies! Et comme désormais le triomphe des peuples doit sc décider plutôt par la supériorité des intelligences que par celle des armes, le grand siècle littéraire élève aucless us de tonte ci vili s::ttiou, la civilisation Française. Les armées de la France pourront dans la suite être humiliées; m11.is ses idées dom ineront toujour:;; c'est la source oü viendron t s'a br eu ver les nations. C'est le foyer qni écla-irera le monde ! La Frnuce eu affaiblissant les conséquences si désastrenscs du Protestantisme pour les âmes et le ' societés, s'est montrée fidèle ù. sa mission religieuse ct civilisatrice. Car il est Lout :\ f:1it f:.wx de dire comme certains écrivains, que le Protcstanti~me est plus favorable que le Catholicisme nu prcgrès ct à la liberté. Avant la naissauce de la réforme, les institutions civiles et politiques, toutes les branches des connaissances étaient nées, [n·ll.ient prosp6ré eu Europe sous l'influence de la religion Catholique. Ou v rez le., pnges de l'Histoire ct vous y v er rez p:wtout le.:; formes · repré~entatives sous les noms J'Etats Généraux, de Cortèses, de Parlements ou de Diètes. Vous y verrez même sur cette terre de l'Italie, ou la Papanlé a son siège, fleurir les glorieuses républiques de Gènes, de Venise, clc Florence; tandis que là oi\ le Prote.stau tismc prend racine, s'implautent l'aristocratie et b tyrannie: cvnsitlérc;, ce qui s'est passt.,., en Allemagne et rn Angleterre. Le Protestantisme, e11 brisnnt les liens morau:::s::, a nécessité le commandement central et inauguré Je p0uvoir absoln. La liberté quil a donné<', c'est la liberté des Henri VIII et rles ElisabutiJ, c'est à dire le rlespo tisme le plus illimité, le servilisme le plus rl égrarlant.. Mais le malbem snrtout, l'irr6parable, mnl!teur c'estqne le Protestantism e' a bris<.'~ l'hom•'gj! niL(· de

Ah! quels prodiges cette unité, cette fraternité des peuples n'aurait-elle pas opérés! Sans don te maintena nt, tout les grands problèmei' politiques auraient été résolus clans le SCBS de la liberté .; tant de guerres religieuses, qui ont baign\~ dans le sang des pays entiers, auraient ét é éparguées, et, au lieu de quelques nations prévilégiées, toutes a ujcurd'hui se repuseraient à l'ombre de l'arbre majestueux de la civilisation Cntholique qui convrira it l'uni vers de ses rameaux bienfaisants:

5ième

PARTIE.

Maintenant la Franc(;-. entre dans une phase nouvelle; elle va chauger son drapeau et renier tout son glorieux pa~s é . Elle était le bouclier de la foi, elle sera le porte-étandard de l'impieté; ellè s'appelait la fille alllée d e l'Eglise, cliP- se nommera la mère de la Révolution! La voilà à l'œuvre. Les chefs qui l.a guideront dans cette voie criminelle seront Voltaire et Rousseau, ces deux hommes clant le front est marqué du stigmate de la corruption et de l'imfamie, dont la parole n'est qu'tm mensonge et une contradiction perpétnE>ls; et là France les croira! et sur sa bouche passera le .ricannement de l'enfer! Pendal1t près d'un demi siècle, elle laissa ces aucla cieux cl é m~li sseurs ébran chet les bases de l' édifke social; leurs mains sacrilège& arrachèrent de son noble frout la lumineuse couronne de sa foi, et trainèrent dans la boue toutes ses gloires les pl us pures! iHàis c'en est trop, l'ltenre de l'expiation, l'heure du châtiment va sonner. Entendez-vous les mugissements de cet ouragan formid able ? il s'approche, il se cl échn,îne avec une fu reur inconnue. Rien sur toute la surface du sol fi-ançais ne résiste r\ son souffle destructeur. Le trône de ~t. L ouis, quatorze fois séculaire, croule avec un fracas . épouvantable; les ·temples sont 'envahis par une foule impie, les autels sont souillés et renversés; en quelques années, tout a disparu cbns lê gouffre bâant cl'e la R évolntion ! C'est alors que la phi losophi è incrédule, qui déclhme t oujours contre la ty'rannie de l'égli se, commence à fa ire sentir les doucems de son règne, le règne des proscrip_ tions, de la guillotine et des noyades, Les prisons, bien autrement horribles que la Bastille, reg orgent d'innocents qui attendent leur tour pour monter sur l'échafaud érigé en permanence. La fraternité philo;;opbique consiste à r épandre ln sang des prêtres et des nobles: la charité est remplacée par la philantropie, l'Evangile pnr le Contrat S0cial, la foi par. l'athéisme! Mais que clis-je? l'athéisme sincère est impossible; et. tant il est vrai que l'adoration est un besoin indispensahl~c> au cœur humain, que l'on a vu la nation, qui nag uère adorait le Dieu dfls

P.ascal_et des Bossuet·, p.rosternée aux pieds d'une idole ùe chaire! Ab l voila bien l'abîme insondable où l'absence de toute rdigion précipit.e les rois ·et les peui)les! On ne sa urait retmnchet· impunément Dieu de là socjeté. C"ést une loi dont la vérité à été reconnue .paries plus ilfustres génies et attestée par la chüte des plus flprissaats emrlires. La France, était donc perdue si Dieu n'eut suscité un homme capable de la relever de ses ruines. Cet instrument divin, l' égal des Alexandre et des César, reconnaissant rïmpossibilité de tout gouvernement qui n'a pas la religion pour premier fondement, d'une mavl balaya cette tourbe révolutionnaire et de l'autre revela le trône et l'autel. Mais fallait il qu'àpres une si Pffroyable leçon, lui-mên..e devînt le persécuteur ëlêôette croyanc~ dopt il avait reconnu l'absolue nécessité et dont le chef l'avait couronné du diadème de eharlemagne. Hélas! la pros peri té et :l'ambition l'aveuglèrent ]usq u 'à ce point; D éfiant les excomunications pontHicales de ·' pouvoir faire tomber les armes des mains de ses soldats, il les vit. sécbapper une à une des mains de hi Grande Armée qui s'eng lo-utit sous les neiges de la Hussie, et lui, cet astre de g loire qui avait éclairé deux mondes, all a s'éteindre dans les ondes de l'Atlantique! Depuis, la France a vu bien tles foi s changer >,es destinées, sans toutefois reprendre sincèrement son ancienne mi~sion, Pourtant l'avènement de Napoleon III, qui fut signalé par le rétablissement de Pie lX sur son trône d'où il avait été traiteuseme,nt rer.versé, promettait un réparateur des torts de son ruyal oncle et présageait à la France et à l'Eglise le retour des brilbuts jours d'autrefois; mais les bombes d'Orsini vim-ent malhemeusement le jeter dans les bras des societés secrètes, qni le dominèrent ensuite presqu'entièrement. (::e fut sons leur pression que, le 4 Septembre, 1870, jour qui verra la fin de son l'ègne, fut signée cette odieqse convention qui préludait à l'unité italienne et à la chûte de la P<tpauté; mais aussi le jour où il conilommcra sa h\che trahison, en rapp ~lant ses troupes de Rome, ·commencera cette longue chaîne de défaites qui se te nnin~ ra à Sad an! Digitus De,i est hic! oui! le doit de Dien est ici. Quand la guerre éclata, Napoleon était universellemement proclamé le plus puissant des potentats, ~t le p lus habile des diplomates; la victob·e lt,lÏ semblait assurée. Mais voilà que· tout à coup elle déserte ciCS drape:Lux, que l'erreur plane dans ses conseils et la France est plongée dans un d éluge de calamités. Ah! c'Est qtie Dien attendait là Napoleon. Les cau~es premières de ces revers inouïs ne som pas dues au défaut d'organisation; mais c'est que, Napol éon étant devenu un instrument inutile entre les n1.ains de la Providence, Dieu répandit sur lui l'esprit cl'avengleme:nt et de vertige et le précipita dans cet abîme qn'il s'était !ni-même creusé.
