seems fit to recognize these favors by-.:a~~ and enthusiastic display 6£ the more than ordinary grateful sentiments which then fill the soul.

WE WOULD ADVISE our fellO':V- and general collegE! readers tv peruse the lecture by Prof. Swing, of ChLcago, on the genesis, or rather manufacturing, of " Lite rature." It is full of very common, but very true a nd very u-s eful hints for young men who, as ourselves, are endeavoring to shape their "shapeless pens."

** *

TO BE GRATEFUL is a lesson .which-we must learn while yet very young and which we must put into practice every day. Gratitucle should be inborn in every child, a part of every man's nature. Nothing is so revolting, so monstrous as ingratitude . and that especially in the yet guilele~s heart of a child! We have all received blessings for which we should every day thank heaven. But sucll signal favors are sometimes showered upon individuals, families, nations, that it

HEALTH, as Harvey so strongly upheld in his spirited eulogy on " 'fhe Farmer," and as Charlie also proved in showing the indispensibleness of "The Physician,"health is a very great boon. Much of our mental work and success dep~nds upon our physical condition. We ought, then, to make it our concern to keep our muscles well strung, our cheeks well flushed, our nerves in equilibrium; gay spirits and a clear mind will result. Contentment everywhere willt·eign, and success be our _easy prey. For that, exercise, open air sports, the boisterous, obstreperous, vociferous games of the campus are the best recipe. Roll foot-balls, or snow-balls, or hand-balls; when the weather is too inclement (and it is rarely ever so) then, swing .the dumb bells, the indian- clubs, try the rope-ladders, the horizontal or parallel bars, etc. Be healthy, boys, and you can be hard students.

it DlUtl have been plunged in utter ignorance. Tbi is bmb unjust and unnatural. For we cannot exact au equal d~ of literary excellence from all count.ri and Limes. lo the whole range of hi!!tory we· find no period or regubtr ani tic culture which was not. preceded by a term ot inertooss, it might be styled, but wbicb WB!!, in truth, ll time or inventive fullness and poetic wealU>. Thus, prior to tbe ooys of • Jon there exi teil a period 1'eple\e witb heroic legends and mythological lcJre, but not prolific in llLerary productions. Prior also to the Augcllll;:Jn age, there flourished a time rich in lofty nnd '·ictorious achievements, yet not renowned !or artistic and relined literature. And who will deny Umt the Micldle Ages servecl in lieu of ncb a poetic pre-existence, when be reflects that these were the ages wbieb fostered the martial . pirit of the Crusades, the ages or c~ivatry, wbence ha'Ye been drawn the themes of t.be many mnsler-pieces and nrious love wngs of modem literature? Why theu, some one mny nsk, is the history of merlirenl Limes marte the butt of so many unjust attacks? Listen, reader, to admit that ~he Middle .Age was one of pros]>erlty, of culture; tbnt. it ~ed advanl.ages which we of the Refhrmation period enjoy, would be a piU too bitter ti•r the ortlinary weak-minded Protestant historian to swallow. Hence his chief aim is to brnnrl tbat, nge in which Catholicity swayed the whole of civilized Europe. the age wbicb owes all it possessed to the influence or the Churt>h on the ' tate, M one of utter ignomnce, and comparable ouly to the condition of the savage. Accnrrling to him we would have begun IAJ live only sine•• tht> Reformation. Since then we have been regenem!Rrl. reformerl; anrl the hrillianc>y, the glory of the nlnew-enth century is the result of the nvble workings of l.other's intellect. But. away with the ravings of such weak brains! He who poode~ well the canse of our present prosperity will place it in something more stable and Jl('rmament thftn Prf)testantism. And he wbn reflects seriously will twrceive in Cntholidsm the genn of true power~ and the pollen of rt'nl intellectnnl growth.

In this lamentable tate of atf.'lirS there was need of a mighty hand to raise this fallen, degraded, Mtioules$ ~ple from the depth into which they were prooipitated. Tbe Chri tian Religion, that religion heretofore presecuted by these very people was the one to protrer her aid; and by 'rni · ing her potent ~d terrify the Got.b, and rescue the Roman from tlte cruelty of un:nercifuJ captol"S. he now concentrated all her power in rnh<ing U1cm to the intellect1lal station whence they hatl fallen; raise them to power she could not. lienee began ~bat work or litemry regeneration in which the Clmreh bM so well succeedecl.

And then followed the til k of imbuing tbcm with principles of l'eligion, according to which aud not to those of nature, they might be governed. This WitS a grand work, a superhuman effort! How well the Church succeeded in it, the different nation of Emope converted from barbarism ancl paganism, attest. And, me • thinks, this is a plac~ of culture on which historians of the Midc.Je Ages have laid little or co stress. The performance of her chief aim has never hindered the Church from spreading tl.ie seeds of learning with those of religion. Nay rather, she bns ever understood th.at religion and knowledge are not only wholly complltible, but likewise emivent auxiliaries. 1-IePe~e in the past as in the present., the propagators of the Gospel were also propagators of learning. Impartial, unprejudiced history tells us of the past; incontrovertible filets con vi nee us of the present. When therefore, Christianity began to spread o\·er all Eut·ope, and became rooted in family and state ; when the propagators ofthe Gospel had sown the seed of knowledge, and earefully reared the plants sprung therefrom; and when, by the labors of energetic mis!!ionaries the minds of the people were purg-Ni of the dross of pngan and nature worship, and raised t~• something more grand and sublime; then indeed we might expect a marvellous outburst of genius.

I slunk into a corner conv eniently near the ballot boxes and at the same time I had a chance t<, view the crowd. There seemed to be none in the store but farm ers : farm ers, young, old, middling; some voting for the first tim e, .some perhaps for the last. And such a· B:tbel of voices. Everybody hustled and shuffled, hnrry ing first to this one then to the other praising in loud ton es the merits of tbis candidate and rl euouncing in still loud er terms the faults of his opponent. As I turned my eye from this bu sy crowd it rested on two ag riculturists in the corner opposite. One was a midd le nged n~an a nd the ot her was nearly twenty-two, about to vote no doubt for the fhst time. The form er was evidently trying to convince the latter of the merits or the demerits of a certain candirlate. He would lay the fomth finger of his right hand on the palm of his left, and at the same time let shoot a stream of tobacco juice at a crack in the fl oor, 'Which aforcsai(l crack had from all appearances been the t arget of many streams prior to this. The hanrls would then betflke themselves to the dark d epths of the owner's breeches pockets, who would throw his bead on one side, rest upon his left foot a nd send forth another sq,uirt of tobacco juice.

But in ae much as nothing of the beautiful io more wid espread or powerful than literature, it remained for this OJle .art to surpass all its _sistei: arts iu the power to create .tlm~· mental unrest which hungers for the 0ffice of writer. This passion is not as wild as the stagemarlness, but it attacks it m~JCb larger number of persons. The malady is .m01:e endemic. There are t.ens of thousands of youth iiJ. our land who wish to become writers.- a fact which has a bright side, showing as it does that education and the love of books are penetrating the village and ev en the farm-life of the nation. The yonng girl who milks the cows and who washes >tl1fl irons in the lonely farm:~o use . rea?s, prose and sweet poetry, and then wonders whether she too might not tal•e a few steps t1p this hiil of thought, and leave her cow and bucket ftw away in the valley. Per~ aps she }lligbt: .F actory girls have become authors, hootblacl<s.have become Jl.hilosophers, and all dreams in

this field are honorable. The difficulty lies in th e fact that tlle school bouse .ani:il oolle.g e hav.e created more writers than the· woTld requires. Th e power to speak and wri te the English languHge with propriety has outgrown t he need of the newspaper office and the wishes of tlie bookpublisher. These attainments are valuable tJJat we tnay all read and tnJk and enj oy th ~ continent of thought, and not that we may become authors. Unable to make a world;we are to enjoy one and become better in i.t. When, lately , n young lady sent this verse as a specimeH of ·h er poeti c ability"0 moon, dea.r mo.on, X ou sink too soon! Can I persuade yon to stay And be in sight all day?" she re veals nothing except a power to extract mu ch happiness from the . poetry of others, and in this she shoulrl ret t contented. F or her to write poetry hecnuse she loves it would. be as absurd as for all who Jove a vocal soio to attempt to render one in a church. The most of us must recite our poetry and sing our solos to our own heart. We are always sure of tllat local approvaL

A young man's model ~ssay began thu s : "If I mi stake not it was remarked hy Lord B:1con that," etc., beyonn which opening of things not one reaner ii1 mn,ny would ever pass. Without knowing ex actly why, the re:>.ding world has outgrown that form of attack, a nfl , with ''malice towarrl non e," it. permits th e thoughts which might follow s'uch an exordium to await the perhaps greater leisure for to-morrow. That kind of writing is not wicked. but writers are so numerous, hooks so countless, that the public taste has become very frtstidious. A Greek in Persia wrote back hom e that \.he "figs which we eat at Athens they throw a vvay here." Thu s om country has become so well supplied with good literature thn1, it throws away to its pigs the li terary fruit our gntndfathers would have put on ~h e ir table. What are all those youth to flo who are hoping to become editor!! or book-makers? Some of them will secure their wish, but only those will he selected who shall be found to possess some pec uliar ab ility-=-some form of thought and expression not already worn out. The public does not seek what it already bas. The man who says "I tl).h:e my pen in han d to .inform you," came t o our · worlcllong ago. We have him, and now have our hear ts set upon some other kino of person. The man who says " Emphasize honesty" and "Voice public opi nion" an tl "could hear a pin drop" is already on band.
