EXCELSIOR!

vVe live in a n age of prog ress. In O lll' you ng country, we have b ut to look nbo tt t us to bebuld the rnpid stricles we ar e making in all tbe branches of comme rce and agri cn lture. Jill provrment follows i mprovement, till we beho]d o urse lv es blessed with all imaginable colllforts, never drea mt of by o ur ancestors. Steam nav ig:1tion hns so far mflstrre(l tlie once impassible fur ies of the dee p tb:tt botll hemispher es seem now but parts of the one and same co ntinent. Ha ilroads have done rtway with distances, aucl such is t he perfection of our Postal Sen rices tha t a ll the wo rl cl is become as one vast co untry, or, perhaps better st ill , ns one large Ji:uni ly, the members of which cntertai u close relation s 0 f friendship with one nnoth cr. Amid t his activity and bustle, man finds himself at home. I-Ie find s therein employment for his busy and ever r estless mind. His so ul exp&nds itself, it develops its many htent energ ies and fi\Culties, it lives, it breatlles, it moves and soars, till it becomes a wonder of subtlety and force intermingled. Yet, in all this, however beautiful it may seem to our view, th ere li es a great danger. Now-a-days men a re so entangled in business from th eir youth that they ar e apt to forget that if their minds are so wonderfully fitted for material commerce, they are yet more splendidly adapted for spiritual and mental occupation s wbicb would y ield them a thousand -fold more pleasure. True, it is a good t hing than to kn ow how to co unt an d to cipher , to read and write and talk of the price of bread, pork, cattle, etc., not mentioning the state of the mining, m:mul::lct uring, railroad in g or stcam-sh iping corporations wlli cll cover the surface of the globe. But bow far greate r and more beautifu l and more nobl e i<> it not to be cap11..b lc of entertaining one's self anrl others with the thought of the greatness and mercy of God , our Creator, the b eauty and grandeur of our immortal so uls, the progress of nations in the way of civilization and cu lture, the immensity of tbe heavens peopled with their constelbtious and planets, in a worrl, the ad vancement of man in the in te ll ect~al way s of science. Nothing und er t he sun is more admi rable th an a r ea lly cultured sou l. A man of knowledge, a sa\路a.nt, carries on l1is brow a sign of magic w hi ch e uti ces t he bewild ered admirers who crowd about llitn and obs tru ct his way, trying to gather the golden words of lea rni ng whic l1 fa ll from hi s lips. \i\Tho has not read of the mysteri0us inl!uences exercised by orators over vast multitudes whom th ey conkl sway and raise to .fits of passion or tame dowu

to soft ness and tears, by that magic wa.nd of eloquence with which nature bad endowed them! Who, ind eed, has not felt the refining influence of th e poet's presence, who hcts not adm ired his sympathetic ::mrl lov ing so ul, attuned to a ll the miseries and sorrows 0f,poor humanity, long in g and sighing for the innocent pleasu res of a f uture~ horne where sorrow wi ll be no more! Ab! who has no t met o n hi s way thro ugh life the encouraging, the soothing smi le of a holy personage, whose glar;ce penetrates to the b(lttom of souls, leaving there in a perfume of peace [lild serenity uever before experienced and entirely unkn own t o and unsuspected by worldlings. Yet all tlwse charmin g pleasu re,; an<l sensations are ord inary occ urences in the life of in te llt~c lu a l men of all departme nts of science and learni ng. Th ey are the honey which the mind culls, in its wanderings tllrough the b looming fields of study, t o nour; sh and sustain itse lf am id the difficulties whi ch now an d then ~eset 路 it. For, even in such ennobling occupations, trials ~tn d obstacles are encou ntered which would bailie our energies if we were not goaded onward by the r ecollection of past successes and triumphs. Nothing great is effected withou t labor and sacrifice, says the language of the past. Co urage then, young readers, you who are lay ing th e corner-stone of your etl ucation amid trouhles and toi l. Nature bas end oweGl you with talents, but it leaves to you the task of developing these end :)wm ents of mind an d body. One enj oys best what he has acqu ired with perseverance against di fl'it! ulti es. So the more you will labor for the acquisition o拢 knowleJge, the more you will relish that learning when it will be in y our possession. Another cons路id erat ion tor you shall be th e assurance that unce this treasure acqu ired t here isno fear of losing it, for you possess it in your S() Ul, wher e th eives cannot penet rate. Fortunes in money are mar1e and lost in a day, for silver ancl gold are tl.J e representatives of all that is venal, all that c:1 n b e bo ugh t and sold at market. L earning a lon ~ remains the noblest of ri ches, the reward of the bra ve an d the god ly wbo hesitate not to enter the are na where the g ian ts of the intellectual world meet to fight the peaceful battles of science. Money may buy titles of honor and di st in ction, insignia of nobility, fin e clothes and pretty houses, but it cann ot pmchase culture, or brain s, or common sense, mu ch less can it answer fo r true learnin g. In a word ''There's no royal road to knowl edge." All who wish to taste the heavenly sweetne~s of refinement and perfect edu cation must set earnestly a nd perseveringly to work1 thoroughly convinc ed of the impossibility of arri ving to that end in any other manner imflginable. Nevertheless, let no one im agine that tbe work is ,

L. a tedious and ingrate one. Tlle setting off is r ather dull, but it soon becomea n. source of frequent enjoyments and delectations, the very notion ofwbich is nnsn peced by the ignorant a.nJ the l::lzy. W e need but reflect a moment upon the noble lot of thn erlnc;ated to con vince our elves of the t rntll of what we aclv::mce. Who leads tbe world to-rlay? ho fee ds the intellect of the millions th~t read t.he news paper ancl the periorli ca.is? Who cull th e abundant fruits of experience and learning by traveling tbrough for eign lands nml unenrthing the history of nlmo t forgotton em pires? Who earches the bottom uf the sea as well as the sub terranean caves of hoth continents there to find a clue to the past? Who, in truth i at ·t-he he:l.cl of all mOvf:ments tending to better man's condition herebelow? The learned, the educaterl, the mo t g0dl.Y of 011r race, on whom redoun ds the purest, the loftiest glory wllich can gladden the heart of a mortal, that of being a source of blessings to his kind: A.. D. G.

QUEBEC.

There is a most striking resemblance between Quebec and the average old European c:ty. Narrow and continunliy winding streets the conspicuou ab ence of sidewalks old ch nrches with their profnsion of rare treasures, g nble roofS, and tbe marked u e of white to11e which meets the eye in every directi on, and above all its masdve gray wal ls and pon,-~erous gates, al l tend to heighten it resemblance to the cities of the old world. Montreal to be sure is uniqu e and olrl fashioned but modern improvements are steadily succeeding in pushing themsel v s forward cou~picuous ly , and the older parts of Bnf>ton abound in narrow winding streets, and gable roof, but in no other c ity than old Quebec do we recognize the genuine European sa.vor, its peculiar antiquated appearance. The City is situated on n. curve oft be St. Lawrence on the side and s ummit of Cape Diamond, a bluff 01 solid rock over 850 feet high. A more maguificent site for a fort cou!d sca.rcley have been imagined, it is in fact often called the Gibraltar of America. Tbe point de re istance is the great citadel which is defended at the present time by 250 English Troops. In the centre of the fort, i the immense parade grounds where the soldiers exe~ute t.heir manceuvers, and all around next to the immen e 20 foot ramparts are the !Jarra.cks or homes of the officer and soldier . Along the wall, over looking the river, it double row of immen e guns, but h CP of 1.be l n.rg~>-t it in the flngstnff . bn s t11Jl1 on the

corner 350 feeL above tb e river, the highest in t,he vicinity. The view from this point is not sl.lrpnF'ed on the t . Lawrence. Directly below you is the Du fferin T enace and almo t perpendicularly beJo w t he terrace Lowe r Town, thE> prin ciple points of wbicb are et1sily di ti ngui hed, the landing, custom -bon e, and market place. The ri er, at this point nerJy a. mile wide winds gr:wefn lly around you forming almo ta semi -circle. ·on its bosom float alru o t e nTy size and ~ hape of bC\at, from the can0E>, a mere spot at this bight , to tbe stately steamhip, !ewi ng its white foam ing trail behind it. Across the rivc'r i:s the town of Lev is wh ose cliffs tower nearly if not as high as those even of Quebec. T o the east is the I sle uf Orleans, and behind the whole panorama in the hazy distan ce circles range after range of t he stately Laurentian chain. Th ough not cq nal to the citadel's view the terrace and b:l.ttcry aff01:d rare tren ts fo r the eye. Th e plains of Abraham lie in the immefli aLe sub urbs and are of particular interest, as the fie ld of the f:t.mous battle of Quebec in September of 17 59. A neatly inscribed monument marks the spot where G en. Wolfe fell. There are two othtr historic::tl landm arks which deserve attention. One is the little unpretentious brown house on St. L ouis street to whi ch Gen. Montgomery's body was taken on the memomble D ece mber 31, 1775, the othet· attraction is the castle of St. Louis, the oldest house in the city. The great pride of the ch urches li1~S in their magnificent paintings, tlJe structures thcmseh-es :l.re not much. St. Patri ck's, under the Redemptor ists, is perha;)~ the finest; the Basilica, Cardinal T achcreau 's Cn,thed ral, i some the worse for [lge b ut has the finest collect ion of vestments in America. Among the Protesta nt churches the Anglican Cathedral is a cu rious old pile, tlte others of either denomination are of little note. Laval, the greatest of Canadian universities, is one of (~uebe c's greatest features. There are many fine museums connected with the college ; the Zoological collection has 1200 species <,f birds :l.ncl 7000 insects. The library hM 100,000 volumes, and th e pict 1re gn,llery is che largest north of New York. Among the public buildings the P:trlim ent H ouse, is the m o~t el egant in e1·ery respeet, the Court H ouse, a massive :l.nd co'ltly though unpretentious edifice, was just fini shed this year. To the tourist from the "States," u.s the Canacli:l.ns . cn,ll our Country, Quebec appears a very slow stagnant, unbusiness, like town. But in the affections ai the love r of n.rt and history, Quebec has a warm corner, and a visit to its old gray walls and commanding citad el wou ld be remembered as a most happy event. P . W . '89.

Cette chapelle goLhi quc dont le chœur est en avad et en face su t· le côté ga uche est ornée d'une riche galerie sur trois côtés: derri ère, :'t droite et e n avant. Le chœur est,~, dong le étage. An premier est l'autel de St. N icolas au dessu s du quel se trouv e un grand crucifix très expressif du lGiè me siècle, ce qui à fait donner le nom de Ste. Croix à la chapelle. La partie supérieure est consacrée à St. Michel eL on y arrive pu· la. galeri e. On y voit le sarcophage en m arbre blanc de Paros dans leq uel Fréderi c Bar ùerousse fit cl époser les restAs de Cha rl emagne en 11 65. A mo.n goût les autres chapelles ne sont rid1 es qu'<\ l'ex t éri eur. Pour entrrr :\l'égli se proprement dite les portes sont très laid es de mê me que le porche, si j e puis appeler cela porche. C'est plu tôt nne cham 1Jre dans la tour o uverte en arcade sur la nef. Cependant il ne üut pas oub lier que la grande. po!·te à de ux b:Lt tn.nts est en bronze. Une ei-pèce de tête de l,IOn ressort au mili e u d e chaque battant; le reste est uni comme une planche. Le tout ferme mal et ro ule su r de g-rosses pentures de gran ge!

Elle est couverte de lames d'or et o;:n ée de reliefs <l'ivoire, d'agates, de gemm es, e~c. Le conducteur nous montre toHtes ces choses e t avec toutes les explications possibles.

BOOKS A ND PERIODICA LS. " T ALES FoR EvENTmi<:" is the title of a neat little work containing a co llection of stori es for the young. It is a· l'epri nt. from the Ave .M:nria series, and this fact a lone insures its pntetical worLh a nd utility . Some of these sto ri es are fhort, other.; are of oTeater lenat h · l'ut "' lity inwrouaht "' ' a ll bear wit.h .th em instru ct io n an rl. mora . ' z:. ' however, with such dexterity a~ in no wise to detract fro m that in terest of narrativ e ancl plot, which draws the tender mind to th e perusal of stfeh compos ition s. Whnt a grand benefit accrues to the snm total of human ity, by tl1e inst.illing of principles governing t he moral life of man, in to Lhe yet unformed mind under t he pretext of affvnl ing it a pa~si ng pleasure: Such lessons unkn owingly commenced in tb e budding years vf . childhood, bear sou nd and lu scious fru it in the days of riper manhood. and so a work of philanthropy continues unseen, wiser by far and more etfect i ve, because fartherreaching than th e many w hich catch tile eye of pride a nd move the lips of praise. "Tile Choice of an Occupation," In the Forum, for August, is an article of more t han ordinary interest·. Bestdes grappling wiLh his subj ect in all it;: JH:aclical p hases, t.he a uthor l.las also interwoven with IJiS arguments which are of a strong d eep lln e, Lbe brighter colors of pleasantry and witticism. Tha t he has laid bare the qu es tion in its fu ll scop e, wo uld be ras h to assert and, in f>tet even possible, tvo m ucb to expect fr om an article of t he ordinary periodieal length! But t hat he has p roposed several p oints pr eg nant with me:ming to those vvho wi ll give t uem a se rious consid eration, there can be 110 doubt. Such a t1eari ng ha ve hi s ope nin g remarks , on t he necessity of a col leg iate prepararion to t hat transition period, when the young man ceases to lauor for self, a.ncl throws hi mse lf on the busy j ostle of life, that it would no t be ill -timed to r ecall th em it, th ese pages: ·"Beyond the line of things t hat are certain , there is t he atmosp!Jere, as we call it, wh ic h is ind eed th e margin now water and now lane'!, of a beach wh ich the d aily fl ood-tide covers up, or from which it reced es. It is in this mysterious margin that the g reat questi ons of human life are cl eveloped. The education wh ich a college giv es carri es one to th e marg in. The work of the world b egins on the other si cl e of the margin. In the mar gin between, somet im es in a few d ays, sometim es in many years, are to be wn •u ght ou t the mysteries which from eo llcge life lead to the world's life. Thry a re easi er for one ma n' th a n for a nother, perba ps.

T hey are, perhap:S easier in one voca tion th nn they are i n a nother. But there is no man in ::my p.ossible voer. tion who will not fi ud th at thi s d ifficul t step is to be taken, or this difficult pasi'<t ge met. In th e .lnst resort 0 £ all, the young mHn who seckscouu 5el mu5t find it in comm uni on with his God ." Mi ght not howe ver ibe yo un g man commu ne with hi s Gcd before the co unsels of men ball failed him? If help were \Oucl! oafecl bim from this so nrce in ex tremity, why not obviate so many ditiiculti es by suing for it from th e sta r t? l iVoul rl it not be more con sistent with hi s reli ance on a God, were :.e to ask a g ui dance whice be mny hope to ob tain? Thi s migh t be the key to the solving of the great puzzle which to many is t he Gordi an -kno t of li fe . The Century f<•r Se ptember cont:.•ins m) article; which, just now, is m o r~ tl.l ~tn pa ssin g in terest. Of la te all eyes ha ve been fi xe d on th e " City of Brotherly Love" where bas just b een celebrated in a tru ely regal style the "Centennia l of the Constitution.' ' In the article r eferred to, th e a uth or bas en<l ea vourecl to g ive a thorou gh hi s tory of the event we have comm emorated an d be bas well succeed ed. The ti tle of the article is: Tl.le framers and the · framing of tl;e ''Constitution." In glancing over tl.le na mes of those who composed that a ugust body, we no longer wond8 r that our constitution is su ch a master-piece o£ prucler.ce and wisdom; and to their wisdom indeed we do owe it. For it was fa r from being a work of intuition; on the contrary , bard brain work a nd strength o f will a.clli eyed the r esu lt. From the 28 th of .May 1787, when a quorum was llacl , until the 19th Sept , the same yea.r, every species and plan of Governm ent, with the ex eeption of Monarchy, was fully deb,at ed; a nd th ough nom: of them was a.doptecl in its integrity, they serv ed as the basis of comp •·om ise: fu si<,n. So it happe ned that the co ustitntion cnme forth the work of no one man, but the result of the wisdom of thai great body of men, who constitute the Galaxy on t he firmament of our history. Tl.le above named article is one wh ich well repay the reader. Tbe sty le is interesting, a nd well s uited to historical su bjec:ts. The 1vfagazine of Americrm H istoroy is a fi ut-ly illustra ted and well gotten up periodical. It treats of ev ents of history in a novel and interesting m::w ner. In its issue for Sept. one article attracts particnlar a ttention for its strength <•f sty le a nd antithetical treatment. Union, S ecession, A bolition, is the title. The a ut hor proves that our g rea.t ·webster was imbued, not with the idea of abolition, in that great qu estion which led tu Ci vil war, b ut his whole mind and heart was bent on preservi ng the Union. The same no uld be said of Calhoun. He, too, was imbued not with the thought of aboliti on , but with that of St>cession or Disunion.

TENTH ANNIVERSARY OF ORDINATION.

The following account of Fa~her Henry Boeckleman's tenth anniversary of Ordination appears in the New Record of Indianapolis, taken from the News-Letter. Father Boeckleman is now pastor of St. Joseph's church D8lphi, Indiana. '

; '

"Rev. Henry 13oeckleman celebrated the tenth anni¥Prsary of his ordinatien to priesthood on Tuesday, Aug. 30. The occasion is one which will long be remembered by the estimable father. High lYiass was celebrated at the usual hour in the morning and was largely attended. The music was unusually fine-in f;tCt the arches of St. Joseph's echoed with a melody nr.usual. Rev. Fatber Boecklenian was ordamed a priest at St. Viateur's College, Illinois, on Aug. 30, 1877. He has been in charge of this parish for the past three years. TIJirteen guests sat at the well filled tables at the dinner hour, and wit and humor jointly ruled as toast master. Father Boeckleman was the recipient of many telegrams and letters of congratl\lation. His guests, many of whom are highly distinguished in Catholic circles, were as follows: Very Rev. Joseph Brammer, V. G. of F'ort Wayne; Very Rev. E. P. Walters of Lafayette; Very Rev. M. E. Campion, of Logansport; Rev. Joseph Lesage, of St. George, Ill., and Rev. Achille Bergeron of Notre Dame, C~icago, both classrr.ates of Father BDeckleman; Father King of Covington, Ind. Rev. Chas. Lam per, of Attica; F ather Roche, of Lafayette; Rev. M. Marsile, ' C. S. V. Pres. of St. Viateur's College; Rev. Peborcle, D. D. Prof. of Theology in the same college; Fr. Guendling and Father Bleckman, of Michigan City, and Father Messman, of Fort Wayne. The occasion was a most enjoyable one and long to be remembered by those present."

PERSONALS.

I '

His Lordship, Mgr. Fabre, Archbishop of Montreal, is reverently but anxiously awaited by the students of St. Viateur's College, who hope to have the honor of such a dis1 inguished prelate's visit to this their Alma jlfater. His Lordship is expected towards the end of this month. Boeckleman-vVe give, in another place, the account of Fr. Boeeklema!l's celebration of his tenth anniversary of priesthood. Father Boeckleman '77, visited us last commencement day and was appointed, by the old students then present amongst u~;, president of the Alumni Association. Ad rnultos annosl Father .Legris, our esteemed prefect of studies, has

returnecllately from Kamouraska, Canada, whither he had retired for his summer vacation. The climate of Quebec proved too severe for him and resulted in an attack of sickness from which be is just emerging. May home climate, and our bracing fall weather restore us our prefect. Belanger-Rev. Father Alf. Belanger, C. S. V., for the last two years pastor of Brimfield, Ill, in the diocese of Peoria, bas accepted a position as chaplain of the Deaf and Dumb Institute, in the Oity of New York, under Archbishop Corrig>m. Fr. Belang·er's many yean' experience with Deaf and Dumb ii:J. the City of Montreal, where he founded an institution for them, renders him most fit. for the important post he now hold s. Cregan-Rev. Brpther Cregan, C. S. V.,late ofFranee, is now director of the Novices. His well known genial dispositions make ]lim a general favorite am<)ng those who have any relations whatever with him. He is also Professor at the College of the Commercial class, etc. Champagne-On account of ill-health brother Champagne, C. S. V., who bad retired for a rest with Father Belanger, in Brimfield, is now living with Father Beaudoin.-He has kindly condescended to give music lessons at the College. McEachen-Brother McEachen, C. S. V., .last year of the Holy Name School, in Chicago, is now stationed at the College and will occupy himself with the supervision of the "devils" of our printing department, Brother Mainville, C. S. V., retaining the upper hand in the direction of the press work in general. O'Callaghan-We bad the plPasure of meeting James O'Callagban, '83, who brought a younger brother of his to dwell among us. Jamf"s is yet at his old work in Chicago, but he speaks of giving it up for the study of medicine. Hogan-It is a pleasure for ns to learn that Dr. John Hogan; '8 3, now- stationed at Joliet, is doing most successful business. His old classmates undoubtedly remember his humorous dispositions. · Co11vey-Harbonr-vVilliam Convey, '87, will probalilly enter the drug business in Chicago, whilst Celeste Harbour, '87, will direct his energies to the abstru':le study of Law. Farewell ye classical remembrances! ·walsh-We wish all succ'ess to William vValsh, '87, who has recently obtained a position as clerk in a clothing store, N eedbam, Indiana. Thirty-two Priests and Brotht::rs, all members of the community of St. Viateur, followed the exercises of their annual retreat during the weeks ending Aug, · 28th. The numhet· of the members of the American Obedience is not very great as yet, but if we call to mind that the Noviciate is opened only since October, 1883, we feel like congratulating the community on its rapid increase ::tnd many sign s of prosperity and success,
