The b .c ok-:seUer goes further. Knowing the passions ·by whi('jh.fallen nat'ure is apt to be swayed anrl enticed, · he buys with his gold the talent and often the genius · of the land that it may empl<•y all its powers to write sensational works that will bring a large sale. Then he distributes this poisonous fruit bwad-cast throughout the world in the shape books finely bound and attraqtiV'ely decol·ated, with inviting and promsing titlPs. Sometimes,evenmerchantsant! business men in general, in their anxiety to advertise, disperse hellish indecencies and publications which wind up with an iuvitation to visit their firm or open trade with them .

Such being the sacl condition of things; the bad a.ud t.be false being so maliciously mixed with the good ttnd Lhe true, and the fals11 being so often circulated under tLe guise of the true, it. is with reason that we are warned to be careful in selecting our reading mat.ter. Our care in this respect should iudeed be great, for ouce the poison shall have been inttoducerl into our minJ, it will be h:ml to eounleract or destroy i ts pernidous efi<·ots, bar<ler hy f:tr than the ta.sk of counteracting poison introclttced into ,our very blood. U:1lwppily we arc ge nerally 'very careless ubou t the matter and we reacl almost anyth ing, provided it be print. An ·l this brings us to speak of the arch-evil of our Jny, which i:; the crnze for rc~~ding everything.

•·'l'o·dn.y," :1.5 was wtlll sai<l Ly D upau l,>up, "we read cve1·ythin~ anfl o.t every age." \Ve rea1l a." circnmstallecs and l: llv~y will favor. vVe have no method , no order iu our reaJings; we never take a note, we never reflect or think over wlra.t we hn_ve read, ancl the consequence is that we lose om time nnd spoil our mental fac ulties.

Shall we perfect our mind by piling into it, topfly-turv y, who!<.>- volumes at a time? Shall we noni"ish onr intelleet by stuffing it with every dirty st0ry picked up from the ucwflpnpers? Sllall we strengtbc.n that brain of onrs by bnnlening it with n disorderly amount o f words and thoughts, good or bact, sorclid or chaste, ~ collected from ever scrap of print that falls under onr eyes? Ah! surely not. We sho nld be more reasonab le. \Ve shouhl better unrlcrstand om good, see our danger. ·w hat wonl<l we think of a perfon who, under the plea of improving his health, would eat inrliscrimmat<Jy of everything presenterl to him and in such a quanti ty as t6 render himself incapable of moving Ji·om the spot? W e would consider this man unwi'Seand wewo:.:hl be right. W e would say: this man will inevitably <lamage his health and cause his ruin. Ilis digestive organs will be overburdened and entirely impeded in their work, and no good whatever will result to him from what be eats; on the contrary, his· organs will becume incapable of any work whatever and he will be lead to the gtave. Such woulu be onr verdict in regan! to the n1sh nnd foolish conduct of this individual.

And , I ask, what do we do for our intellect when we cram our min<l with all sort of notions and thoughts pickecl up on the higb -w!ly, in the street, or in the gutter? Are ~e wise when we benrl over lJioo<l .curdling tales ins pi rerl by, or depicting, all that is lowest and_vilest in huroftn nntnre, r eading and rlevouring thes@ t ill our eyes become dazzled :tnd our head reels in a fit of madness? Are we wi::.e when we inhale the imp ure airof the sensational novel, when we t:l.rry in tbe corrnpting atmosphere of the crimes and shn.mes which a.re r ecord-. eel or related in trashy liiernturc such as is known unJer the name of the Dime Novel or the Detective Story? Ah! surely it is a pity to think that men will drag so low the noblest gifts of nature, their inte ll t~ct and their heart.

That intellect which has been created to know all that is gootl ancl true, Uw.i hear t to love all th:tt is chaste ami beautiful.

Let us be practical. Would we for one moment bave for bosom friends such persons as are d epicted to our excited and mislead imagiuation in ·most of the novels of to-day? Would we like to live wit h high-way robbers, with thieves and murderers such as are glorified in the cheap trash exposed on all book-stanus ?Wou ld we like to have for sisters or mothers, Jor hroihers or fathers> th e sens ual, voluptuous and good-for-nothing-but-todisturb-every-one pel'sons that compose the heroes of ru ostly all novels non Ca.tholic? Surely not! .... Yet we g iYe them access to om very heart in our every day renclings. Shou ld we not rather be able to s:~y with Eugenie de Guerin: " 1 hate to meet with what I do not chose to seE>, and this makHs me close many a hook''?

From these few promiscuous remnrks let us couclutl e by saying, that thqse who intend to becom e good, honest citizens, lovers of ord er and virtue, shou ld have nothing to clo ·with tlle bad e xamples of vice and cor• ruption glorified in novels, in trashy literature, and in all b!td works in general. Th e llcal thy, strong and vigo~·­ ous man is the one who is temperate, who selects his fbod an\1 stipulu.tcs the amount and the di versi ty to be used, who 111flrks out his hours of work and his hours of rest, and who never at any price departs !rom tl,lflt rule of life. The healthy , strong an<l vigorous mind will be the one who shall select scrupulously and conscientiously its reading matter, who will m::trk ont and observe its hours of stu ely ancl its hours of recreation, who will be tPmpcrate, nC YCI' over-charging its bruins, who will he orderly ~tnd methodical, without which nothing but confusion and chaos would ensue.

An<l we say with confidence, the one who shnll have oLsened all t.llCse wise measures will not tlclay to profit by them. H is intellect, his heart, and his will, shall all gradually develop into perfection uuiil he shall hav e the pleasure, the happiness of one day finding himself a good and solid man, with sterling qualities of heart and ~

A cctte phalange de braves pionniers, qui planterent les premiers j a lons de La civ ili zation en Amerique, appartient le sujet dh ces quelques notes h iographiques, Pierre Men:trd , premier Lieutenant Gouvemeur de l' Etat del' Illinois.

Pierre Menard naquit a Qu e!Jec, en 176 7, d'une respectabl e famille, origiHaire de Ia Normandie. A yant recu nne n, sez bonne instruction, il parti t pour aller tenter fortune au " P ays des Illinois" qui comprennit alurs l 'Indiana, le Mi~scuri et !'Illinois. Jl arrivn. a Vincennes, en 1787, age de vingt ans seulement. Deux ans plus tard il cut le boJtbeur de . rencuntrer W ashington dans la Prnnsy lvanie, ou il etait alle avec le colonel Vigo, ltalien, qui venait maintenant consulter Washington sur le question des Snuvngcs.

L 'annee suivante, Menard vin t il Kaskaslda ou il commenca lt faire Ia tra.i te avec les Indiens, ce qui rlemeura Ia grande ocr.upation de sa vie. Il montra beaucoup d'aptitude et d'nd1·csse pour le commerce et devin t tres-populaire parmi les Sauvages, ce qui lui valut d' etre nomme agent des Indiens par le gouvernement Americain auquel il rendit (1e gramls ser vices en con eluant plu~iers traites importents.

En 1809, le Territo ire de !'Illinois fut form e et tli vise en six comtes, et Menard fut elu au Con seil Leg islatif par le comte de Ranclolpl! . Le Conseil ~e renuit et 1\Ierwrcl fu t nomme a l'unanimi te president de l'assem!Jlee, position qu'il retint jusqu':1 l' epoque de Ia formation de !'Illinois en Etat, en 1818.

D e president clu Conseil Legislatif tlu Territoire de !' Illinois , notre b ra,·e Canad ien devint, par l' electiond u peu ple entier, L ieutenant Gouvemnur (le l'Etat ct il ga.rda ce poste elcve jusqu\i. l'aunee 1822.

OBITUARY.

Tile sud intelligence of the death of I{ev. John B. 1\lcKnne has j u~t reuche<l us. The imformation is as unexpeted as it is sorrowfu l. But a few short years ago he barle his home and college frienrls good bye, to enter upon the exhaustive and lalnrious d uties of a missionary prie~t in a newly opened field in God's vineyard.

E.orlowed by nature with the strength and proportions ofan athlfte, and b lessed, beyond the usual fortune of men; with every evidence ofmental cultureanrlintellcctual attainment, which two point out and bespeak the man of talent and e lucation, he gave abundant promise of many years of useful labor, and every ass urance of successful issue in the work to be accomplished. But his Zt'al outstripped his strength. TJ, e fearful nn.ture of the task before him left him no rest, and the responsibilities it impuse!l granted him no ease nor respite until at last his IJoclily strengt.h broke Jown under so severe a strain, nncl left !tim an e:1sy prey to the si(jkness whidt brought him Lo !.tis grave.

Father :Md{une was ~ent trom t he Cathedral at Leavenworth to, prolnbly, as hard a miss ion as the, state coutainetl. The constant laborious duties conscientiouslY [Jet'formed, together with tlle privations endured while ministering to the spiritual wants of a people scn.ttererl over a vast range of country thinly settled, told at last upon a constitution powerful even as his was. The frequent and dreary ricles of fifty and sixty miles over wilcl and lonesom e :;tretehes of prairie solituJ e i'n atten,lance npon the siek, exposed to the fearful iuclemeneies of Autumn rains anrl winter severities stretd1ctl him upon a bed of sickue,;s and snlfering whieh for sixteen weeks ile never left s:we when they earrieJ him to die amicl the scenes of his first lauors and among a people who so fonrlly lo ved him. Nevet· in the. history of Leavenworth was reverence and love so universally and publicly·show·n, never was worthier veneration manifested towards the memory of tile deaJ than was eviclenced by the genuine sorrow of the wilole city at Father McKune's fun eral. Irrespective of class or creed, they thronged to bear testimony to the hold ile gaineJ upon their nffectio.t and gratitude. They re,membered how, only a few years buck, he came umoug them, in a ll the strength of a vigorous manhoood and with all the holiest qualifications of a priest of God. They recollected his happy and genial disposition, his winning tr:1:its of character, his arbanity and genf!eness exhibited under all circumstances even the most trying.

Tiley looked m·ounLl a nd saw the proof of his love for

children and his anxiety for their improvement in christian education clemoi1strated by the erection o£ a magnificent school -h ouse built and paid for tllrough his efforts. Thoy beheld the evidence of !.tis ardent charityof that sympathy always extended to the wretched and the out-cast-iu the sacrifices wilich he underwent in erecting the orphau asy lum and starting to a successful comp letion the hospital in which he died. N o wonder then they assemhlecl to pay him a tribute of thankful remembrance. No wond er that they draped t he city in mourning-that they felt the loss of him who was not only a friend but also a benefactor. Nor are the good people of Leavenworth tile only mourners. All wilo knew him lament ilis loss. And we especially mourn him who were hlesserl with a closer triendship, 'I'Those acquaintanceship commenced under tile ilappy influences of college life; who daily witnessed the unfolding of those virtues which afterwards blossomed so beautifully in the garden of God .

May his soul rest in peace and may the labors and sufferings endured in the cause o£ God bring him that eternal happiness, that imm ed iate posession of God, which here upon earth was his arden t c1esire.

PHASES OF THE SPRING POET.

Don't be alarmed, dear reader, we are not bitten by the rabiJ monster-spring poetry; we are not going to pester you with that worst of all evils, a spring poem, snell as indeed is apt to make you spring from your chair an!l walk off in u'tter Llisgust. No ! we are not go · ing to indulge in the sport. We only mean to trace up a tew of the hard passes of that most miserable of mortals, the Spri11g Poet. Poor tellow! We cannot be entirely without some pity for him .

If it be true that poets are born (and not made) it is especially true of spring poets. Thei?· clisl:'ase is a chronic one, a real dej ect of nature-incurable leprosy.

They say you can t ell a boy wllo will de velop into a spring poet: he is generally of a sullen disposition, di~ ­ tant, ill-feu looking and often even in early youtil inelinecl to contemplate the moon for hours. I don't believ e it for if the egg were thus known from which will spring the poet he wou ld certainly . be kilkd in the shell.

But years pass ou anJ the promising(?) boy grows up wiLh impu nity. Hi:> in-born dispositio11s soon declare themselves. The inspiration draws him on. His muse rl wells in the clark for est~, flowering vales, etc. etc. It is there he retires to spin the web that i~ to ensnare so many innocent victims. Now 'tis consummated, he has signed his nom cle plume)· ilc leaves his retreat. See him plodr:ing along through the country village, on the busy streets of the large city. His step is light , his heart leaps with joy. His manuscript is carefully r olled and Lied up that none of its precious jew-
