A. PROPOS of the general interest manifested in regard to Catholics and Catholic education it is comforting to chron icle th'c well chosen remarks so eloquently spoken by Rev. F. Perry at St. P atrick's late banquet. Among other exeellent thing:<, the Rev. Father said: "It has l~tely been c barged against theCatbolics of this country that they owe allegiance to a foreign prince, and that therefore they cannot be trne and free citizens of the Unittrl States. But we know that the obedience which our faith requires us to give to the decisions of Rome in spiritual matters can in no way clash with any of our obligations to our country . When we behold today Ireland's long and wasting struggle, it is her unflagging steadfastness in her faith that we especially admire. We see her patriots in the front line on the fields of our great battles; we are thrilled by the eloquence of her statesmen anrl orators; she baa men of genius in every walk oflife, and always and ever.vwhere on battlefield, at the bar, or in the tribune they are staunch Catholics if they are Iri~bmen I Let that ~ame loyal adherence to the Catholic principles you here learn be your safe-guide; be proud of your grand old faith, and be sure that your Catholh· allegiance will never conflict with your Ametiean citizenship."
No 19.
THE REV. MODER.A TOR of the Thespians requests the JouRNAL to present his very sincere thanks to the actors and musicians for the earnestness and good will they displayed in preparing and playing their respective parts of the programme rendered on St. P atrick's eve.
**•
THOUGH FAR from fair Ireland's own green sloping hillsides, and (seeking linguistic root.q) in the comparatively prosaic prairies ofillinois, we nevertheless all enthusiastically joined in the universal peal of gladhtlss, the "Erin go Bragh'' wh ich rang forth all the world over on the day of Ireland's great Apostle, the immortal St. Patrick. The interest taken by everybody in the celebration and the eclat with which it was enacted bere remind one of what such a day may once have been in the good old days of Ireland. The fete reflects credit on those who organized it and thus furnished their fellows and guests such enjoyable entertainment.
•••
NOW THA.T the dear festiv ities of St. Patrick and of St. J oseph, with their burtben of eloquence, enthusiasm, and er:Mying devotion are once more past, we again };}etake ourselves studiously to our taskes, looking forward to t he sun-lit and softly bree:r.y days of May and June. The coming contests for elocution and debating ( ?) merlals will soonagainclaim our attention; we must needs bestir oursel ves, each and every one. Very encouraging as a preparation for a grand and brilliant exibition are the past months of elocutionary and 0ratorical drilling . We have reason to hope that this year's display will y 1 ~t outshine the uncommon one of '86, of happy memory.
• •*
A.MONGTHE REMARKS passed by Rev. M. Marsile at the reception given him by the students, one was especially worthy of attention, and that is· relative to gratitude, or a proper and due appreciation of what is done in our behalf by our Superiors. The Rev. Father mentioned that, as a general thing, "much slight and inconsid!!rateness is to be expected rather than a grateful ackowledgoment for ta vors and kind offices done youth; and for this is gratitude in the young the more a loveable virtue and one worthy of admiration.'' We should treasure dearly this lesson and should make it our endeavor to practice it daily. .

our h eart~ have grown weary
Of struggling with sorrow and sin, When I ife holds but little sweetness ..
For us mid &t the world's strife and din, A voice which will still our heart's beating Shall reach us and one must then go To rest in the tomb, silent, peacefulWhat greater gift can God bestow?
Ah none-there is rest for the weary,
The:re peace for the soul that has known -But toil in this wearisome .ex ile. How tired of t.he cross they had grownNor dreamed that their journey was ending That soon would t.heir tria,ls be o'er, ·T hat soon they would rest in God's bosom, Soon sleep to wal•e nevermore.
· JfQr which will the toil be first over? · Wh\ch one must yet longer remain? Must gaze on the loved face in anguish . While memory sharpens the pain P For one there wi)lbe peace, contentment; For one: ~her-e is still grief and woe, . :For one there is rest from life's turmoil : For ~ one the'r~ is work yet below.
God pity _the one left in sorrow
.To list foi: the voice that is stilled, To watch for the one tllat was cherislled So dear, that we said "Hr,d God willed;
All, all had beensacrificecJ gladly From sadness to· save that dear heart--'' God heard-placed the loved one past sorrow Which thought from our grief takes tj:le smart.
"First tlo·wer of the. earth, first gem of the s~it, All the great ones of eatth can :;till learn from ~hee.'' _, · Few nations enjoy a fame as pur-~ -.~nd. as bright as . that of Ireland. Her histOl'Y is full o£ illustrious names; ancl among them there is none wh·ich suines out with Sl1Ch splendor,, noue .so .nem; &n'CI clear to t:he J,ziish heart, or so closely interwoven witl4 the national greatness of the Irish race, · as the one whose memory we honor to-1;1ight-the much loved and revered St. Patrick. The light of grace and truth whir;h he carried to Erin's sea-beaten shores has en Vf\lopecl her hills and dJi.les with a halo of glory, and has made the land of the Shamrock one of the fairest and brightest lands on the face of God's e:wth. 'J,'hough ages have roHed by since St. P atrick first ntioed aloft on the hill of Tara the shining cross of Christ, his bl essed memory has ever lived fresh and green in the great w:lrm heart of the Irish people; and although persecution and bitter exile have driven many of them far from the home of their forefathers, they still always carried with them the remembrance of their great .apostle; so that to-night in every land and clime, wllerever the sons of Erin have turned their wandering steps, wherever virtue or valor or genius rec"ive aught of venera.t ion or esteem, wherever oppression fin ds an enemy or patience and longsuffering a fri end,-there, to-ni ght, the name of St. Patrick is honored, aml Ireland, the ben,utifu~ land of his love, is spoken of witll tenderness nnd reverence . It is needless to say that on such an occ;tsion as t his Irishmen the wurld over are joyous and hnppy. They boast of their Celtic blood; and man~· of them, whether _ they be Nolans, O'Neil~, McCar1hys, Fitzgeralds, or O'Shanghnesseys, delight in tracing baGk their ancestry to some powerful king of Munster or Connaught-often indeed to Brian Born himself. St. Patrick and Parnell, the first and the last, the beginning and end of the golden chain_, are on every lip ; and over every rapidly throbbing heart, "The shamro_ck ~ the shamrock! The green immortal shamrock! The chosen leaf of bard and chief, Old Erin's native shamrock." Decked with that beautiful . national emblem it is the pride and joy of the Irish people to turn in thought tonight to their beiqved country, recalling the glory and greatness which were once her bright heritage, the patient endurance and unflinching heroism which her faith-
ST. V1ATEUR'S COLLEGE JOURNAL. ful sons have ever displayed, and, above all, recalling the pore stainless virtue, the peerless honor and intP-grity, and the unshaken faith in Christ, which have always beeo shining traits of the Irish character, and which form to-day the brightest jewel in the crown that decks the brow oi Erin. And well, too, may they turn to her; for the history of Ireland is a credit to the Irish race, and there is no Irishman to-night who cannot hold it up 1o the gaze of the whole world and acknowledge it as his own witbouL a blu~h of shame. While yet her hanner waved from Tara's hill, and before foreign foes had disturbed her quiet happy shores, Ireland was known throughout the wide world as the land or saints aud scholars. Churches, schools, and monasteries dotted the entire lnnd; and the thirst of the Irish for knowle!lge was surpassed only by their zeal for virtue ar,d sacctity. H~tppy had those bright days continued i But AIM! The island of saints and doctors was soon, too soon to be the i~land of heroes and martyJ s. The invaders came. First the Danes who smote her cities, devastated her fair fields, robbed the land of its beaut.y , and ba;t;hed it in the blood of her patriots. It was only after three centuries wlwu Irel!wd at last rose in her might and l'allie•l her bravest sons on the field. of Clontarf, that the enemy w:-~s overcvme and beaten into the sea. Then came another and stronger foe the Eng lish, :-~gninst whom the gallant defenders of lri,;h liber Ly rallied in vain; for ovEr tueir pale lifeless bodies tllc merciless invader marched-marched on into •.he heart of the kiugclom ann with hands streaming red with pme wnrm l>lood reached aloft and tore down tbefair emblem of freectom, tore rut~lessly down lbe green spotless l>anner of Erin.

the worst, as Edward Burke declared, that the ingenuity of man could invent, were enacted and ILercilessly enforced. Wh<tt the Irish Catholics then endurednohuman tongue can tell. A brutal soldiery overran the country; the smoke of burning churches, monasteries, and convents obscured the light ofhea ven; and on the bright hill-sides of dear old Ireland, where once stood happy homes, now could be seen the blood-stained block, or the gloomy scaffold raised aloft, the picture of grim death. Holy religious were beheaded or hanged as soon as caught, and saintly bishops and priests were cut down like wild bensts on the wayside and their bodies left to rot in the sun . Oh! you who vnl•1e pr.tience, and end.urance, and suffering for Christ's sake, you who hold up to the. world's admiration the fortitud.e and steadfastness of the early christian martyrs, look to the martyrs of Ireland! See that people robbed of their lands, dn ven from their homes, the parent separated from his child, the pastor from his flock, and all hunted like wolves to the mountains. See them pale and emaciated gathering together to worship their God in some deep cavern or lonely recess of the earth; hear their plaintive voices echoing among the glo0my rocks; listen to the music of their prayers ringing out in the silent midnight, and when you praise virtue, when you praise charity, faith, and hope, when you praise patient suffering and endurance for the Gospel of Christ, oh! do not forget the bitterly persecuted Catholics of Ireland l But as the rock stands unmoved despite the rolling waves that sweep over it or lash themselves to fury at its foot, so the faith which St. Patrick delivered to the Irish remained unshaken, remained pure and firm and grand, long after the storms of persecution had spent their force, long after the vile hearts, that conceived and app li ecl the most inhuman code of laws ever devised by mn.n, bad rotted in the tomb and mouldered into Now, ind(oed, were inaugurated Ireland's . dnys uf dust. Irland came forth from her agony clothed indeed agony. Her rivers ll.nd streams ran crimson witll p:-~.tri with her faith, her virtue, and her honor-but stripped ots' blood. The calm waters of her silvery Jakes, and of all else. Her lands were in English hands, her cities the flowers of her valleys and bills were reddened with were razed to the earth, her rich field:; had grown wild the life-tide of her courageous children.

It is a shame to humanity to have it told; but to the sons of St.. P atrick. But it was all in vain. The that shame is Ireland's glory. The tears which the sons of grasp of the tyrant was only fixed deeper and. firmer. dear Erin weep to-night as they glance sadly back at the Yet it was not enough to rob Ireland of the preciouJ wrougs which their natic•n has suffered, as th ey look boon of freedom; she had to be despoiled of her faith, sorrowfully upon the bright banner of green which tOthat pure bright faith which she received from the lips day it is treason and death to unfurl, those tears are of her favorite saint, and which she bas ever loved and uot the bitter tears of guilt and crime, but the soft cherished as the immediate jewel of her soul.

The g r:·•ves of her devo tee! missionari es are scattered Lh e earth over ; a]l(l t he nam es of Irish saints are hon oret1 and revered in lantls an cl coun tries, far, far away fl'Om their own green shores.

May they ever carry w ith t hem I reland's virtue an d valor, I reland's bright honor and integrity and , oh! above a ll, Ireland's unshake n fa ith. Closing we cast one more g lance at de::tr Erin, she is lonely to-nig ht a nd d reary . The wild winds sweep ove r her with a desolaLe g ro:tn; and the waves of the ocean dash mournfu lly on her shores. Her lands are rich and fertile ; her fields are g reen and fi•)Ck~ ::md herd s feed upon them. But, blessed God! her children cry tor brec,cl. Tl!eir homes are rude and unc omely ; and the bleak cold

ST. VlATEUR'S COLLEGE JOURNAL. REV. FATHER MARSILE'S DAY. According to a time honored custom at St Viateur's, the students of '86 ~nd '81 thought it their dear duty to salute their kind ann fatherly Director on the anniversary of his patron's day, March the 19lb., the feast of St. Joseph. While busy preparations for a demonstration were going on in the afternoon of tile eve, many doubts were entertained as to the probable presence of the Rev. gentlP:man that e.v ening; but at 5 o'clock he returned fi·om Manteno wh ere he had been preaching · for the opening of the •·Forty Hours"' and all was a smile of gladness: we had him! Some time after seven, the ·orchestra bring fairly "in time," the Rev. Fatller wa.S usbereJ into the hall whe1·e the students stood in waiting; the musicians beat t !Jeir gayest measures as Fr. Marsile marched along saluting all gracefully, and took his seat on the st:~.ge with our devoted prefect Fr. Dooling. When the orchestra h:td finished Mr. Thos. Normoyle, of the senior rlepm·tment., and Mr. W. Maloney, of the Junior side, came forward with an address and an el<lgant b:1sket of fresh roses. air. Normoy le read the followin.~?; address : Rev. and much beloved Director: "It bas always been your endeavor to instill bto Ol}r young hearts sentiments of gratitude, a virtue which you have tanght ns to admi re and to cul tivate M being perhnps the f drest flower that should adom tile garden. or youth . Ynn wi ll not therefore be surprised if we have Lhoug ltl it our fie:tr right ns well as our filial obli ga~io n to express to you our very sincere thankfulness, our strong and lasting:tffection,andalsoour hearty good wishes on this the thrice welcome anniversary of your sai ntly Patron's D:ty. To this day we have looked forwnrd for satisfying the necess ity we felt of acknowledging in au especial manner our indebtedness to you fo1· the many , many benefits we have constantly enjoyed under your kindly direction. On an occasion su ch a.c, this we love to recall the early sacrifice of your yo ung years for tile sacred canse of C.ttholic education, the next and perhaps greater sacrifice of country and kindred; we love to follow and ad mire your persevering continuance for these many years in the arduous labors of avocation and we appl~. ud your deserved promotion to the position of trust, of responsibility and of honor which you now occu py-a trust which you so faitilfully keep, a responsibility which you sensibly feel and an honor which you ever nobly uphold and fittingly grace. Your untiring labors in our own special behalf, your ever watchful and indeed fatherly r.are so unsparingly bestowed, and especially your lessons and examples of piety are all eloquent and abundantly evident proofs of

how deeply we should hold ourselves under obligations to you, and how very justly :wd sincerely we thank you and. wish you many more years of a life indeed full of arduous self-sacrifice, but also full of grand merits and of consoling results. May we enjoy many years o£ your mild direction, and as best pr(•Of of your true esteem, may we ever follow faithfully the principles and high aims which you have taught us and the excellent examples which you have r.onsta ntly shown us, and thus may we ever remain true and worthy children of St. Viateur's College." After this address came a second one from the Minim's department. It was read by Master Hiram Lingle while Frank Moran presented a. beautiful bouquet, the central flol'ler of which was a large white lilly. The Minim ' saddress was as follws: Deu· Father Marsile: We are not otten allowed to unite with the Seniors but we all the more gladly do so to-day as it is t!) tell you that we like you very mu ch and that we wish you to be our Director until we grow to be Seniors ourselves autt have graduated even to the smallest Minim. We love to hear from tile Seniors that you have always been good to t he boys and kind as you are now to U 5 j and we too thank you very much for making our College home so much indeed like home. Be pkased, Rev. and very dear Father, to accept these flowers: the full bloom ro~es of the Seniot:s, the rose-buds of the Juniors, and the lilly which you have often told us is the emblem of St. Joseph's virtue. And with this offering we wonld also confide to you what we so .often heard you call the precious innocence of our years and ask you to keep that. ever as fair as is the white cup of this flower." To these the Rev. Father responded in about these terms : ·'My dP.ar boys, I thank you for the kind words you have addressed me and the good wishes you express. I would here avow that I am personall y opposed to any such demonstration as this for I believe very little in what is merely written on the paper, and I r.onsider action by far the better expression of your feelings; this year, however, I cannot complain that your actions belie your words: I have been well satisfied with your behavior: wherefore it is more acceptab le io receive your thanks, congratulations, and well-wishing, and it i~ even perhap~ safe enough to consider them sincere. Again, I dv not accept these manifestations of your re~ pect and esteem for me personally but for the principle, the authority which I represent, the body that it is assigned me to direct . ... Yes, my dear boys, grati tude is a grand, a. noble >irtue, and it is, I say it candidly, the more appreciable in youth as it is les:l gen-

But Captain lJe Balzac "Wh0 dont <lrink ze wisky but drinks ze vine" is still in .the road. Teddy here .resorts to an "exceedi ngly laug hable" l'trata.gem and tn a silort time hal:> De Balzac lying senseless at his feet. He then proceeds t o t.ie them all h<:tnd and foot after wbich he departs to find th e Squire. The Duk~ then enter5, but finding the men already prisoners he is about to depart when B elha ven cro~:;es his path. They both draw roYolvers and Belhnven attempts to shoot, but bis pistol misses fire. The Duke then has the villain's life in his hand s but, magnanimoua as be is, be parctons him. But as soon as •be Duke turns his back the miserable wret ch ru shes at him with a dngger and is abont to strike when a bullet from the well-aimed revolver ot Maj or Lookout pierce's the scoundrel's !:;rain. Teddy re-appears with the SqLi ire, who acknowledges he bas committed a g rievious wrong againgt his son anrl reinstates him in his inheritance. The play here ends with a ma.g nifl ccnt tableau. . Though short tbe drama presented many novel and exciting situations, in wbich fu ll -,cope was g iv en furtue yon ng aetors to d isplay their abi li ty . Mr. Amb.Granger as t he Dnke was an exeell ent impersonation of al l ge uerons Irish instincts. Th e pnssior., n obleness an d magnani mity of tbe characlet· were well purtrnyetl. Mr. Cieary and Mr. H. L egris, as t ll e Squire :mel Belh r.ve nrespectiv ely, were quite n.t llome and entirely in thfl spirit of their ru les. Mr. T . Norm oy le as l\1nj or Lookout and Mr. \V.

T n.king the enter tainm ent as a whole, it was a perfect success and at. its clo:;e, not a few compliments were bestowed bolh on the amateur actors and young musicians.
. Among the m:tny pleasures of a catholic school bov's life , are t he feast-day cel ebrations of the g reat Sai~ts, aud in thi s respect St.." Patrick' s D;ty is second to none. L ong before F ebrnary was torn frOil• off the calendnr, the all-absorbing topic of our conversation was St. P <Ltrick's day. The Band and orchestra were practicing soul -inspiring Iri sh airs, which ·resounded through tile halls 1rom morning till night. At last the dny drew ne:l.r and ev ery thi ng was ready to make it a grand success. And so it was. On 'Wednesday evemng the Thesp ians presented a drama which was in every respect appropriate a nd well r endered. The title was, " Til e Duke" or "More Sinned against that sinning." The scene is laid in Ireland and the pl ay po:ssesses a plot of mu ch interest. It rehearses th e evil doings of a miserable lund agent and the good actions ol a magnanimous Duke. In tile prologue Belhaven, the land ngent, prevails upon Squire Hilton, the Duke's fat ller, to disinherit llis son. This the old ma n does, and the Duke accompani ed by his ever faithful Teddy, departs for America. The first acL opens on Belhave n who is now trying to get the Squire out of tile way so as to gain control of his imm ense fort une. WiLh the assistance of two sm ugglers, Riehard Han·ey and Captain De Balzn,c, be is successful. He drugs the old man and bas him carri ed off to a secret cave, there t o await Lhe ani val of a sllip, which is to carry him to Normandy. At tllis t im e the Duke arHl T ed dy sud denly ret urn from America. T his, Belhaven co nsid ers as H :fiworable circ umstan ce, for be can now fix the guilt cou .r ected with the Squire's disappearance o:a tLe D uke, as the relations between fat!Jer anc~ son were o"f an unpleasan t nature.

where they own quite a tt·act o£ fertile land. They are in a i('lart 0f the State where the Cnitholic Colonization Society of Bishop Ireland is doing its good work for ·t he people. Lookwood-By the la,test, Seth Lockwood, '84; has removed from Marseilles, III., his old home, to Streator where 'he is now occupiecl. We expect to hea.r more £rom biro in the near futme. Brosseau-Jaspar B1·osseau lately left us to accept a posit:i€>n as clerk in the stor~ of Mr. Kerr of Kankakee. He is at a good school and will no doubt t:ucceed in his a.ims. Our best wishes and encouragement. Gelino-It will be a pleasure to his many friends to learn that Arthur Gelino, '82, of Kankakee, is pursuing his course o£ studies at the Montreal College, with the Sulpician Fathers. He h:td taken all last ' year to rest himself from hard work and is now feeling well as usual. Rivard-We hear regularly from George Ri vnrd, M. D., '78. who holds on to his favorite town ofAssomp.. tion. Christ.ian Cotinty, lils. He has of course ·joined the Beneclicts, is the fathet of a livdy little girl, and enjoys the prosperity of a booming busin ess in the line of his profession. He has built a store of late nnd ~ought a farm which tranS!J.Ctions indicate a good financial status. fluch good news cannot come too often. Murphy-We sympathize with J :lmes and Dave Murphy, '86, who have lately suffered the irretrievable loss of their kin<l mother. Tills leaves tbe family under tile care of J :lrnes wlio . has now taken management of Ids mother's store. May good fortune and all success attend the bereaved f<tmi ly.·
EXCHANGES. Since the last issue of the JouRNAL,.quite a number of exchanges ba ve accum Jlated on our table. For the mnjority, "Excelsior" appears to be their motto as all, with but few exceptions, are makiJJg quite a noticeable progress in the art of journalism. Indeed, college journalism is rapidly rising to the acme of perfection. With chanty towards all and mallce towards none we prepare ourselves to partake of the rich literary repaSt that is spread out so temptingly before us. In order not to appear un-gallant we will give the ladies prece-· dence. Our Canadian friend, the Sun?e(vm,, still continuRs to diffuse its gmial sunshine ov~r the college world. lts fair editors complain of the ·non-support and lnck of en couragemeNt which they receive from their friends in their endea~or to render the Sttnbeam an able.exponent and worthy representative of its Alma Mater. We forbear further notice until harmony ha,. been r<'..stored among its staff.

The Portfolio next claims our attention. Afteri)pending some time in its perusal the conclnsi_on .forced itself upon us that its editors could make it more interesting artd readable by devoting more of iis columns to origin:;Ll ess~ys. Why leave one of the pages blank? If we depended entirely for our sustenance on the literary provender which you ~upply we would soon be reduced to the extremity of a· "dime museum skeleton.'' Perhaps you have taken advantage of the lenten season upon which we have just entered and wish to give your readers scanty diet. Quite a contrast to the Portjoli(l is the Crescent, whose pages n.re well. filled with choice and instructive articles. "A pleasant trip on the wheel,'' judging from what ·was contained of i.t in the Inst issue, promises to prove qnite interesting. We anxiously await the arrival of the next number to see how the young wheel~man wassaved. The essay on ''Promise and Pe:J;formance," although short, contains some truths which not a fevv could advantageously put in practice in their intercourse with men. The last issue of the Student, representing Cumberland Univel"sity, was quite commendable in all respects. V\re were well pleased with the Editorial Department, as it is conducted in an able manner. T. W. G. in his essay on the · "Art of Conversation" gives his readers some good advice as to the best means to be employed in the acquiring of proficiency in that .accomplishment. "some of the other productions were well treated and give evidence that their authors are no amateurs in the art of Composition. The Chronicle edited by the students of the NorthWestern College, holds a prominent placf· among co llege publications. The number before us is replete with choice and instructive articles. Several ot the essays are tar above the average. The one entitled "What is Life," is skillfully handled, and was read with pleasure. We congratulate the editors of the Chronicle for the able manner in which they conduct their paper. The Fordham Monthly for February is a breezy num· ber, filled from cover to cover with articles which cannot fail to please and entertain the most exacting. Quite a feature of the J.11onthly are the poetic contributions which fill its pages and which are quite a contrast to ·those usually found in like publications. "Arthur Stewart,'' a continued article, is interesting and instructive. The character of Callista, the heroine of Cardinal Newman's well known Catholic, novel, receives a careful portr::tyal at the hands of J. F. Clare. Such characters when encountered, in the Jields of literature, which to-day are almost choked by the tares and cockle of worldly ideals, are as refreshing to the mind as a bright oasis in the desert to the eye of a weary traveller. The Fordham is one of our most valued exchanges.
