THE AUTUMN WOODS are more than inviting, they are tempting and that, too, for all; for the poetic, the idler, the squirrel hunter, or the nutting party. The poet hears nature's sighs: these fitful gusts of winds driving about and scattering everywhere the fallen leaves. These glorious hues too; which the woods seem to have stolen from the grandest sunset, arrest the attention of those whg have come to admiru. Those intent on game see it in £ris!I:y profusion everywhere and fa1l not of course to fill their pouches well. The scene is magnificent-th_esport, grand.

***

THE LITERARY and debating societies, as is Cl;IStomary after St. Viateur's Day, resume their work this week. The JouRNAL extends its warmest congratulations to these prai1Seworthy associations on the occasion of their reorganizing and wishes them all the success they deserve. St. Thomas' literary an<l theological association and St. Patrick's literary and debating society meet on Wednesday evening. The JouRNAL hopes to be favored with interesting reports of society doings.

A GLANCE AT " L UC ILLK"

Of this work as of "(ilenaveril," it may be said it is uot a metrica l noveL Jt ha s not the intricacy of plan which belongs to a novel, is wanting in the interest aron!'ed by plot countennining pl ot, is sheared of the div ersity of characters, some witty, some wise, some learn ed, some amiable dolts, whi c.: h fit in so snugly in a novel; it is not by any me:tns so rich in adventnre, nor _calls so mu ch upon t he inventive power of "the author to picture to the reader scenes of beauty .

On the contrary, it maybe said of Lucille, as Jeffrey said_of " Marmion;" " tpere is scarcely matter enough in the main ~tory for a ballad of ordinary dimentions." ''MB~rmion " was styled by its a nthor "A ta-le of Flodden 'FieJd :'' the same name very fitly applies to "Lucille" TEe story lends itself to the themes and developments which are proper to poetry, but would have been insufficient a.nd in the other ways unfit for a novel. The reader who' takes up •the book ex pecting to be tickled by a newness of style· enters upon an empty task; th e author fo llows the beaten path marked out by the footprints of others : all that is original in the work are the ideas of the au thor, ideas drawn from observation and reflection. Without these you may have metre, but not poetry: we may ha ve the jingle of rhyme, but not tile tr ue ring of sense. E.v ery and any one of mediocre ab ility can counterfeit power by the _garb in which he dresses his w'ords, but from genius alone do we get its tr.ue tone. Bea uty of expression is not to be contemned, but 1.his cannot supply for the dearth of thoug ht, for in all our reading it is tr uth, not words ofwhich the mind is in quest. The plot of the story as has been said is very simple: two men of the highest w alks of life, the one an E~ g lisbman, poetic and irresolute; the other French and ilppulsi ve: a woman of genius with whom these are enamoured; two towns, one Serchon, a little village in France, the otbtlr a resort of fas hion where devotees of pleasure recuperate their wasted energies by late hours and excitment of the gaming ta ble : those comprise all its materiaL Yet in the hands of power such as Lytton's, the story gives sufficient compass to inculcate mu ch observation of the forces by which men are governed ; to give us m H.~Y a glim pse at the b eauties of nature ; and to warn th£ reader of the roeks which may make shipwreck of life. The characters depicted in novel'l are represented as formed a.11d set in motion by the occurences of life, or by hereditary disposition , or by both combined. Our author would have the reader infer that the combination of these was the moulder and motor of those whom he brings before the curtain of the public. The story 'wgins with a letter from the heroine Lucille, to Lord A lfred Vargrave demanuing a package of letters. Lord A lfred , a butterfly of fashion, everywhere seeking pleasnre and ever discontended with the sweet sucked from its bowers, meets Lucille and, partly to drive away the ''ennui" oppressing him, partly to satisfy his vanity and partly also urged on by love's flame, lays seige to her affection. She, a child, clothed in a woman's form, smiling when the sun smiles and frowning when be frowns, incapable as yet to fatho~ the character of men or the nature of her own soul, knowing only

Lucille is once more lost to view. Eugene returns to France, and Alfred to England. For two decades the players are lost to sight and then come .again before the curtain.

OUT OF FERRIE'S DIARY. SUNDAY.

.frlorning.-Tbe stars had c•ne by one dis~ppearecl an<1 the beraJds of the great king of the day were just casting a rich crimson glo w over the dark blue background of heaven, when lol the bell (not a ebestnut one that !) warned us we must be out of bed in t he shortest time possible. So sitting up and rubbing my eyes to make sure I was nwake, (the usual dose of water not having been administered) I glanced around aml saw that both tbe outside view from my window and the bright faces around me-a sure sign- promi$ed a delightful day. I got up with a light heart nnd also donned my best. Hearing mass, study ing, walking, playing quoits and other gawcs made the forenoon pass quickly and pleas-

antly by; and in the afternoon I weut with the crowd to the w<Dods. How peasant, grand, and solemn are the woods in autumnl~ i'he birds and insects which were so gleefu! iu spring that they ~a.ug and chirped incessantly have disappe, · ·ed, and all is hushed, save the mourning breezes ::mel the rustling of fallen leave~. P oor leaves! ll ow they float resistless, noiselessly to the earth, as Thomson sayH: ''- For now the leaf Incess:Lnt rustles from the mournful grove, Oft startling such as studi ous walk below, And slowly circles through the waving air. But should a quicker breeze amid the boughs, Sob, o'er the sky the leafy deluge streams;- " In om woods yon see tllem everywhere ly ing in gre::tt decaying heaps. The trees to withstand the rough blasts and :Lro~ts of "aCI·is biems" put forth thicker baric Evening.' Night finds me too tired from my trip to write anything more, so I will pnt my diary aside t ill the morrow yet. unborn. MONDAY.

The weather could scarcely be more delightfu l! What a pity any one should be obliged to r emain inside and pore over books that are both dry and uniltteresting on such a day as this! Well such is life at college and I suppose it must be borne without grumbling- vVhy! a1ter all, are we not really fortunate to JJe here, here an•l now? iYhy make ourselves miserable by imagining we are so. And if we aTe-misery loves company they say, and we have it here. Let us make the most of our college days, ns we are indeed so often told, so thn.t we may enjoy the future when they are past. Evening again and I must not forget my diary. One of my professors kindly told me I promised a "copia dicendi ... . " If I do it is of no use to me now for I cannot think of a thing on which to feed my pen . My supply is exhaustecl. Good night. TUESDAY.

Outside, the view is a gloomy one and old sol doesn't seem to better it much. iVhat an influence the weather bas on any one's spirits! ... A .study ball wherein a hundred and fifty boys are seated, is a good field of observation. Although their study may be occupying most of their time yet it is p lain that they (myself not au exception) have one eye on the weather which bids fair to destroy prospects for the afternoon's enjoyments. The depression i.:l universal and I think I bad better close ere I cast a gloom over my diary also. Evem'ng. The sun clearud the mists at noon and the afternoon was a bright and enjoyable one. On account of the absence of Rev. Fr. Dooling we did not go to the woods, yet we enjoyed ourselves hugely on the home grounds and the arrival of Fr. Dooling just as the sun

EXCHANGES. After a long absence the St. Ma1·y's S entinel returnswe salute him. We find much readable matter in it besides "Rakings."The 2nd. negative on" HastheAugust ·l. a·'l.s~ of American literature arrived" shows a carefu l student, prudent thinker and a fair writer. He first shows the conditions of a liter>:~ry age as one of superior productions, superior geniuses, of great Universities, of criticism coming from reviews which then every where · spring up and implant in the people a desire to read these works. The passion for literary pursuits thus awakened, everybody reads what great writers pen. Then he adds: " But ·so long as our poets and dramatists rise and disappear known only to those who have had the advantage of the school room; as long as our Universities remain in obscurity, and our reviews remain unprinted and unthought of we have no claim and do not wish a claim to literary age ... . Where are our literary papers? Like many other things, they are yet to be. Such fourth class ones as we have are hardly read .. . . Otu· noble poets . .. . the people ignore them. The age then is not a literary one." We are a reading pflople of course; but we read the daily newspaper, the light novel, or magazine.

The selections rliscoursecl by the Orchestra were received with much favor especially the "An vil Chorus'' and the "March Po!]ltificale." But t he musical "hit" of the evening was Master Louis Falley's g uitar solo.There was a something in it so de!icate and sprightly, so clear, so sweet anrl so winningly graceful tJhat every one listened in mute attention anrl with eyes and ears. His ":Fandango" was encored and he returned to please us with anoth~r selection as beautiful. We will never tire of hE>aring these gentle notes which, we trust, shall grace many anqrher soixee. To resume my story, then; the entertainment over, the people went home and we went to bed. TH E 21st. It would seem as if the sun kept all his bright warm

Viateut , the sunniest and fair~st {~ all of these glorious autumn d!tys·. T o match the weather of course e very one put ori his highest collar, and brightes.t smile. At t he 't ndtning Mass most oi the students received holy communion:_ a most ed ifying circumstance which evinces the grateful respect so religiously payed t o the protection of St. Viateur. At 9 o'clock we all repaired to the p:;trish church where a solemn High Mass was chanted by Rev. Fr. Rousseau, of Ishpeming, Michigan •. assisted by Rev. Fr. Campeau, of Ottawa, Ont. as deacon and Rev. Fr. Adams of Ho.;helaga, Canada, as subdeacon, and Rev. A. McGavick as master of ceremonies. The Choir with orchestra and organ accompaniment by Rev. Fr. Labelle, of Canada. rendered Dumont's mass. At the end of mass Rev. C. P. Foster, of Chicago, Ill, ascended the pulpit and spoke in his own graceful style the panegyric of St. Viateur. (We hope to be able to publish at full length in our next issue this beautiful sermon.) After mass the field sports were immediately begun. They were conducted among the seniors by Messrs. Sullivan and Cusack, among the · juniors by Messrs. Dore and Finn and by Rev. G. Legris-and Bro. Beucler among the minims. Their scores see elsewhere. The us ual grand dinner interrupted the games a little after twelve. The epithet "grand" describes it well. After the 2nd. course Mr. August Muehlenfordt, wearing the good conduct medal, was called to "take the cake" which he did very gracefully. The Banquet was well wound up: toasts being the de :sert. The responses were all sparkling with wit and full of delicacy. The toasters were Rev'ds Foster, Adams, Reilly, McGrath and Mr. Sweeney. The dinner then adj ourned. The features of the afternoon were games of baseball and various races in the several departments. The campus was unusually vociferous. In the evening an impromptu programme was arranged whichconsisted ofspeeches, songs, dances, instrumental pieces etc. Mr. A. McGavick made the opening address in most happy style. Messrs. Dore, Cahill, Normoyle, Rivard, sang. Masters Collet and McNamara performed gymnastics; the. guital', of course played. Rev. Fr. Rousseau sang a comic song in French which was very tickling. He also made the clo~ing remarks~ thanking the students and encouraging them to improve tp~ talents they had so favorably displayed in these festivities. Rev. F. Marsile then announced St. Viateur's day past and class for the next day. Everybody felt happy and satisfied and thus we slept off in one night the fatigue of the day's unusual fun and though we dreamt of prizes etc., we awoke to find ourselves not famous, but only Students beginning to scale the high citadel of knowledge.
