EDITORIALS. WELCOME 1888!

"" ** WE IV'ERE rej oiced at finding on onr r etum letter s of invitation to R ev. J. McCann's ordination, v;·hich took place at Ilchester, Mel., Friday Jan. 6th. Our hearty congratu1atious and sinverest good wi. hes to our esteemed friend, Fr. McCann .

* *¥ THE LINE of condu ct for stllC.1ents, li virw a· we • 0 do, in one community, was again \visely and kindly marked out for us by our ReY. Dire<.:tor Jas t F riday and Saturday evenings. In following Lis clirec.tions we are nre not only to make the best possible use of the opportunities we have of improving, but also really to enjoy college life which is so full, after all, of pleasant and wholesome eli versions of dear companion hips and of genuine fun. ~

pected, and nnknown in the history of J onrnal! Som body (Cicero perhaps) was right in saying this is a changef11l ·world. One mnst. iblwayi:l be on the look-out for some catastrophe, or else run the risk, like onrsel ves, of beino· snrl)l·ised. Those who h1tve D .t experienced the feeling of being put ·in LARGE TYPE for the first time- larger type than the rest of the paper is made up of, c::tn imagine the state of extatic buoyanc-y into which we have been suddeuly precipitated. Those who have neYer felt th.is bliss may r ec::tll their "firstboots" or the fi rst time they pnt on " long pants," and know something of the strange feeling of "growing importance" that spontaneously and irrepressibly creeps through one on sueh occasions. As we view this broader Yehicle of our cogitations \Ve indulge in the vanity of the refl ection: "Now we are becoming a power indeed and the ·world, seeing, cannot escape us!" 'Tis fitting the editorial "·we" should have more elbow-room as it ·were; we are the big "Head" of the concern anyhow.-Do not, reader, be1ieve a word of · all this- <T ust be ou the qui-vive for our new co,·er and hinges now being designed in Chicago, and don't let us surprise you when we come out in fnll rig . .

THE FEBRUAHY examination is uot only a common topic of eonversation, but is also uppermost in the minds of the students as i!:l seen from the earnestness and activity -..,vit,h wl1ich all prepare fo r the en.mt.

LITER1'LRY SUCCESS does not consist on a fortuitou s combination of circumstances but principally, and in most cases almost exclusiveJy, on the patient labor of years. So let ,us not await the free bestov.·al from uatnre of self-acting genius (which even itself is patience), bnt be up and * ** THE ENLARGEMENT of the editorial type is doing,ever toi1in g, ever achie,"ing, and fame will something altogether accidental- unpredicted, unex- come on the right morning.

I n as few w,ml M po ihle I ~ill endeavour to give you hi views quoted from his speech 1\t ·\Vann:lh. He goes on to s:\y, uow, at the liJrmMion of Llle oonsLitutior. the lelding st..'ltesmen of that time entertained the idea that ''the en lavement or the nican was in viol t.ion of ~he laws of nntnre; tb·LI.. it was wrur.g in princi pl f! ; soci <Lily, morally, nod polit.ic:\llf''. He Ulen says: ••Uur ne• government i fuunderl upon exactly t.be c•ppol!it.e idea; its foundRtions are lairt, il.a corner-stone rests upon the great truth that the negro is not equ:tl to the white m:m; that slnvery-eubordination to t.be superior rnce-is his natnntl and nOf'ml\l oondit.iun," ho further sny:-:-"it is the fan RUes or Lbe ort.h, who are warring again t the decrees God tmight.y in their attempt to make things qual wbicb be has made unequnl''. These principles need no oommmeflt., you can all judge them for yourselves. ltbough 1 lr. tephens wa.s Vice President, still th(l lesding tate.men of the uth dirl not like his way ot" d iog busin and he •as seldom consulted.

BOURBONNAIS, ILL. Samedi, 14 lan. 1888. UNE LETIRK.

Une lettre! aunable courrier Du cœur ! Que de fois sur tes ailes Tu m'apportas, comme un ramier, De loin, de joyeuses nouvelles. Depllis llongtemps, séparé De ceux que j'aime sur la terre, Tu nou!l fus nu lieu sacré,Echange de vœux , de prière. C'est qu'avec toi , je reprenais De si charmante causeries; Un iu tant, tu me rau1 e1Hlb An foyer , pr1's d' run es chéries! C'était alor~, Il eu reux mom em s l Tout ec que rève la tendresse: Des souhaits, des embrassmuenl.~, De se revoir la douce ivresse ! Uulllot seul , trao:é d 'une main, :\l 'en disait plus qu'un long poëme. Un e fPuillt•, une fleur, un rieu N'était-ce pas un bien suprême? Je le.s conserverai longtemps Tou &C<' trésors, en ma chambrette: Ces premiers sib'l.les du printemps, Ce brin d'herbe, cette violette. Cette l>oucle, épi d'or glané J' ar les doigts tremblants d'une mère Au front riant d'1m nou,·eau-né, C t"s longs cheveux blancs de mon père! Mais comment franchis-tu mon seuil., A\•jourd "bu!, messager de joie? Tu re~;ens , messager de deuil. lléla ·J c'est I.a. mort qui t'envoie .... Comme manwn tcemble en brisant Le sceau de l'e nve!Qppe noire! J e pe11se to11cher un mourant, Plus froid et pa.Le que l'ivoire ! Tu ne m'apportes Jllus de nenrs, Mai.s la plume d'une eolombc. Des cheveux blonds mouillés de pleurs.. Cc que l'amour prend à la tombe!

No 10.

Oh! reste, derni er som·en! •·, Malgré t.es larmès, où repose Chaque Nmoi u de mou plaîsir, Comme répine axee la rotie.

Car d e l'lwnun ec'est.l e d estin : Le plus pur bonheu r de la vie, Tel qu ~ s·asS< •Iubri t le matin, De doultmr t.oujow·s est sllivie.

(Crmtinué.) Musset prend tous les tous les plus s u !J li m~s C() lllme les plus grncieux. Une grand fntkbeu r distingue wuvent oon style. Qu'il est ravissant. le tableau qu'il ~int du. sommeil de l 'innoce t~cel L'œ il croi t co ntempler la grâce vi rginale de la n:>.ture à son révei l; la lumièremonte d::tns tcn ciel qu'épure le sou flle- de l'auro re, chaq ue dcur porte s:t gouttel<2.tte d.e rosée: Est-ce sur de la neige, ou sur une statue Qne oette lampe d'or, dans l'ombre wspendue, Fait ondu ler l'azur de cc rid eau. tremblant? Non, la neige est plus JliUe,et le ma.rhreest moins blanc, C'est un enf~tnt qui dort. - Sul' ses lèvres o uvertes Voltige par instant un faible et doux soupir; Un soupir plus léger que ce ux: des algues vertes Quand, le soir, sur les mers voltige le zéphy r, E.t que, .sentant tléch ir ses ai.les embaumées Sous les b<tisers ardents de ses tleurs bien-aimées, II boit su.r ses bras nus les perles des roseaux. C'est un enfant qui dort sous ces épais rid.eaux; . •. • Rien n'est encore tm·mé dans cel être cha.r.m ant. Le petit chérubin qtü veille sur son âme Dout~ s'il est son frèc:e ou s'il est ron amact. Ses longs cbe,~eux ép1n-s la collvrent tout erati~. La cro:x de son colliet· repose daos sa main, Comme pour témoigoor qu'elle a fai.t s:t prièt'C, Et qu'elle va la taire e n s'éveillant dem:tÜl.
