Down where the wild grape eo profnsely is trailing, Rude crosses stand-marks of mortality: Mid them n.t morn oft strayed in sweet childhood A flaxen-haired youth with cheeks like the rose,, No frsgrance of rosebuct, that scented the wildwood, Was sweeter than he, in that peaceful repose.

When weary and tired of tile butterfly chas ing Amid broken tombstones that crowned the fair dell, ·wild flowers he'ct gn.ther, and his footsteps retra cing, Wou ld sit on a green mound to him beloved we ll.

Still little be .dreamt there rested a treasure, V{hose value to him would never be known, Little he reeked of the love beyond measure, .That there lie implanted snnlcss and lone.

Often at e ve on tbrs soft mound reclining Only a few rods removed from his home, He'Ll linger, he'd watch in sadness repining, Waiting fond footsteps, he fancied wou lq come; Oft ·when the shadows were <m thickly

THE IRISH QUESTION.

All the nations of the civilized world stand impatient-

Iy watching a struggle for liberty which a nation down trodden for seven hundred years has almost accomplisheet Exiled sons and daoghters look from every country and' every clime on the noble efforts of their fond M.otbP.r struggling to be free. Unhrersal li terature, the magazines and newspapers both of the Old and New 路worlti relate her glory t\lld her praise; this nation is Ireland.

Up to the year 1172 Ireland was a free, independent tmd prosperous nation. Ruled by her own !rings and protected l>y her own armies she was for centuries the cratlle of literature and sanctity and all that wn.s great :~nd noble. But being at the latter date invaded by th;:!

J<;.,gJish who unjustly took possession of her shores, driving tho natives from their homes and lauds which thq banded uver to their own followers who still bold possession of the soil and are well known by the name of la11cli.ord8. Unable to cultivate tbe land themselves t'1ey rout it at a very high price to the Irish peasants, ruJd being absolute masters of the land t.hey overwhelm it.b Lhxhtion the helpless poor. They are tyrants of the darke::st hue-the weapons of Euglish greed and English hatred for IrelAnd. They fix, bound or restrained by no law, the amount of rent which the tenant must pay; t.he tenant if he dnre utter a word of c01nplaint, would be tlang out upon the road-side and all he possesses handed over to some other man who would be found willing to tllke his place.

The soil of Ireland is rich, but a plentiful harvest d~ more npon the :seasons. If thE' summer is dry and wnnn the fall .briogs a plent.iful supply to t he tillers of the land, bu t ift.he rains of summer are frequent it gives indication of a poor harvest and the farmers will be unable to pay their rents for which even their scanty furniture, and cattle, aU are sold by the landlord to t.he highest bidder. 1n tbis way several thousand families are made homeless and as a na~ural result a fumine takes plnce in the land.

U was a bine in the ye:~r 1876 brought about in

this way that led Parnell, aidud by the Bishops and priests of Ireland, to form the Land League which soon spread its branches throughout the whole world. It is judged treason against the crown of England for an Irishman to Yove his country; and Michael Davitt while paying the penalty of such a crime was the first who planned in an English prison the organization of the Land League. h Wa.s soon taken up by Parnt'll who in turn was aided by the clergy of Ireland with Archbishop Croke at their bead ; thus the Church and Stn.te combining with united efforts have almost succeeded in making Ireland ~O'S.in as prosperous a. Nation as she was before.

The legislative body of England is divided into two houses-the house of Commons and the House of Lords.

The members of the former, unlike those of the latter, are elected by the people, bnt the representatives of the people can frame no law without the consent of the Lords. In the Hou$e of Commons alone there are 670 members, including 105 chosen represeniatives from Ireland. These 670 members representing England, Scotland and Ireland are divided into three great parties of whom their respective leaders are Gladstone who leads the Liberals, whose number is about 300; Salisbury the Tories who reckon about 265; and Parnell t.he Nationalists whose number is 89. On every legislative question the two former parties vote one against the other, and as they are almost equal in number, Parnc.>ll with his little band of 86 holds the balance of powe1路 and he has by this means hampered England in such a manner that she canuot make a single law-either for herself or for any of her colonies withot his consent and Jill! vote. Thus is England compelled to grant Home Rule to Ireland, which means the power of mnking her own laws. Seeing this and hoping to gain for himself a name, Gladstone espouses the Irish cause, who, a few weeks ago, sp~akiogin the House of CommollS, in tho name and with the authority of the English Nation declares that England during the last 700 years has u njustly persecuted Ireland "Truly' be S.'\ys, "there is no other alternati ve !Jut to give Ireland her own gover路 ment or to sen1l Cromwell again" T. L. OUR TABLE.

This is the plu.ce which the literary gardener must visit with hoe and pruning knife, for at this season wilu fancies spring up with as much eBerveseence of life as do weeds in a garden. These wild fancies assimilate themselves principally into spring poetry.Spring poetry is of rather su::.picious growth and unless it bears tbe st:unp of sterling worth it must feel the weight of the

Hnrrah for the "Mugwumps!"

The "petit" nine of villagers defeated tlle Minims last Tuesday; score=1·6-8.

Messrs O'Day .and Carroll of the Chickanous make .a strong battery.

The champions appeared in their new uniform 0fgray and red, last Saturday !l.nd after gi vmg three royal cheers for the Thespians m1d Club Moliere, indulged in a shoJ.lt practice game with the Mugwumps.

The boys worked well last Tuesday and the result is, a beautiful diamond ins-t ead of the old one. Tne diamond needed a ·thvrough overhauling, which it received. The bases were raised, new lines marked, the back stop repaired flnd everything is in readine.ss to receive our visitors. · , · Ther-e is talk of forming a league of the small clubs. lt should be attended to at once. No doul;Jt very interesting games would result from a: division· of the best of the small boys into several clubs, and sur~ly it W-ould create a little excitement. we· dip the following notice of our last (& lost} game with the Kankakee Browns: - .

"The Kankakee Browns tackled the college nine _at Bourbonnais Sunday afternoon and secured rev<>nge for their unmerciful drubbing of the Sunday previous by defeating the collegians in a ,ten-inning!l game 15 to 10.

The Browns presented a strong .nine, including Charley Eden, the professional, 1\nd M:eeney_and Va.n f:\ickle, the former a semi professional formE:rly. conpected with Ohio ~lub s , and the latter a former merp.b,er of the American Jeagu:e. Eden's pitching was tcq·iflc and demoralizing to the batter. He was caught by Van Sickle infine style.

The other mem ?ers of the nine wel'e Jolly,. -Knecht, Alpiner, Walkei·, Feagin and Sharky. This is .said to be the first defeat the college nine have suffe~ed on their own grounds in seven years.'' (Kankakee Gazette.)

At a meeting of the C. S. V. Base .BaU association last week , following officers were elected-Rev. Fr. IUvard , Pres, ' and manager; Rev. Jos. Moysant' Sec· . ., 1\'Ir. Glenn P ark, Treas.; Mr. P. Sullivan, Capt.; Mr. John Dore, Umpire; and Mr. J oseph Kelley, Scorer. Mr. Dan. O'Nep was elected to fill the -..-acancy caused by the resignation of Mr. Shannon and ~Ir. Wm . Quinlan was elected substitute. A vote of 'thanks was -ten(lerecl to, the Dramatic Associations for their kind assista1;~e at the soiree. Arrange-ments were made to play several of the neighboring nines, after which the meeting adJourned .

4t the given signal the Band opened up with the liv ely measure of " Over the Gnrden Wall," after which th e French Comedy was presented. The memhers of the "Gerclc Moliere" are evidently not strangers on the !.wards. Thay seemed perfectly at horne all of them.

T)1 ey drew frequent applause which indicated how the play was relished. The mi stakings of Old Killman and the tricks of scheming Simon and party were especially plain. The roles of Edwa rtl and Arthur were played with much naturalness. Of the musical mmce.zux which enhanced the French farce, the instrumental solo b y .

Mr. Martineau, !l8 well all the "Alleluia" was festive-like.

Af'.;er that opened the shaking.scenes of the "Nervous Man" closely tracked by the invincible " Man of Nerve," his plague, his leech, his curse. This battery (as it were) was excellent. The rest of the players acquitted themselves equally well of their secondary b ut non the less amusing roles. The play itself is an admirrable study of characters-clear in their respective delineaments. Even Mr. Clackett in characteristic inKeeper's style, would praise up his country butter and fresh eggs, "everything of the best.'' The performance was much relished and almost const ant applause accompanied the nerve force of Corney McShane as well as the irritabilities of Mr. Aspen. In all, it was a success as well as the farce of the " Cercle." I hear some people said they had not assisted at a better representation at the college for years. People will utlk. Lets s uppose it's so. Any how the " Home Sweet Home," a very difficult composition by Mt-. Mazurette, was well executed by our pianist M. A. Roy. Some one said be had dropped three grace notes. Let's suppose it's so. Eddie O'Connor's " Res ignation" was played not only w:thout a fault, but with a remarkable expression, and eertainly our young soloist deserves encouragement. Of the many complimentary notices given of the concert in the Kunlmkec papers we clip the following from the Gazette : " The large chapd (Hall) of ~t. Viatcur's college was filled Sunday evening to attend the music:<} and dramatic entcrtninment given by the students under the designation of a May Festival.
