.IRISH RUINS AND

SCE~ERY.

A land without ruins is a land without poetry; it is barren of tb.!:_t yvJ1i9h most d irectly spealis '"to the sou-l 'of ~·ot'h~7"time:> a nd of other men, a coustant arJd dear remind er .O.f-the doings of those who are no more .

Ev ery nation, howsoever young, has its rtJin s; has these venerated places, monuments to which it looks u p with a sonl full of recollections and memorief> it loves to treasure np. These :u.igust w it nesses of bygone ages, enshrourleilas they genemlly a re in the soft mo.s.s and protecting ivy that mother natme twi't1es around"· and spreads over them, l.lave ever in spired the poets their ~weetest lays. Again of all the sonrces of pleasure which the :bounteous Creator has openec for ·m an, one of the most co.pious is ·t he scen ery with "'hich w~ are ·environed. Grand scenery, majestic mountains fo'r ins.tance, or the mighty ocean, sloping verdant ·. val1eys, these uplift the soul, fill us with a sense of grandetll', and of comely orJer which we are wont to call sublimity and beauty.

Irelan€!, among other things, is noted for its ruins . and its scenery. In all · parts of it there are, besid es granr1 mountains, green meadows and ·beautiful rivers, ruins of .monasteries, gonvents, churchei! and castles.

Those who made, and perhaps inhabited them, are dead, But the/ ruins themselves . shall stand forever, to show that Ireland was great ·in -days of yor·e and that h er opTJressors arc not a-ble t0 prove .it othl"!rwise . ..

T.VIATEUR'. COL LEGE JOUf NAL.

To let. you comprehend the subject. more fully , we will imagine our·el\.""es in I reland . We are before an old m ' crowned ruin, emberlderl in ivy. I t i a church ns can be seen by the !ml.'lt east wL'1dow of the sanctuary, cuver~d with pi ·tore& of angel :md r.ints, and by the choir in which the religion once · ng hymns of love :twi pmi ,e t.o their Cren:tor and Re,ieern er. Outdirle of the t·llurcb are t.be ruin of the cloi. ter, which t.houuh humble, nre very beautiful principally. on account of their architecture. B ut the bu y burn of life i no longer bct~rd about the place and all is nbu heel and till arouurl it. as its sole occupants-the de!ut 'W e pass along a country road over h~dowtld with trees and come upon a tatt.ly church which rivnh perhnp nrp:1·:>e in glory, the magnificence of pa:Jt time . W.. see the s11iid buttr~es, til.e high tower, the l:11·gc wnll nnr\ the gra~eful spire, urmounted. by the ~:~ign of man's red"-'mptiun- tbe c ro&s. "\Ye see the ma i ,-e, o!i•l, strong and delicate Lracery , which tells us that the natioa which made it, was vety great at no (,j tant ~wriud.

"\"le next comP- to au eciilice which is very tamilir.r to alL or at least, most of u the little, plain, unpretending nnd humble way ide chapel with its thatched root~ luw ceiling, earthen fioor and its small wooden altar, l•c:lccke,l with 1iowers brought by th~ country people who ofl~>n go there to pray. P assing under the <lark rrowniug slladows of the old feurlal castles- which show tons with wiHt. fear the people were seized when their land was invaded by foreign nations, shutting themt:el n•s up in tlteir trongholds or carrying on war among them ~elves-we stand amazed at the scene which now presents itself to our view, in the ruins of Mellifont, Dunt.rodie, Holy Cross and Cashel, tuat now uplift thea· rn1je•tic heads in destroyed beauty, in grandeur marked with solemnity, over the laud of whicll they once were, and still are the chief adornmen~. If.., re we .b eholrl the vestiges of tbe most splendid archilecture, sornb of the most magnifice nt buildings that were ever raised upon tbe earth eithE'r tor God or man.

We now come to the top of T ara's Hill and t>ee spread out all around u a vast territory dotted witlf ruins of churcl~es and abbeys. We ~ee a river slowly winding ils way through forests and fields. We also see the place where T:ua's Hall once stood, the place where the gr'{·~t Kings of Irehnd had sat enthroned in bygone centuries, where the wise men met, and the place where Erin's poets and bards charmed their hearers with the harmony Of the Irish melody. And a greatlrisb poet, "tbeswee\ son of song," has truly said: "The harp that once through Tarn's lblls, The svul of music shed,

No~

229

hangs as mute on Tara's Wall-

A if that oul were flecl ."

"\Ye now continue our _j. .urn<'.r pn~~ i ng mr.re ruins and cro. ing many hill , V,l.)l~y and stream$. "\Ve cannoL but still nrlwire the scE:'nery as much a wlwn we stnrLed. We ee the brmrrs at work in the ti~lrl> singing ome lively son."' and k<'Pp ing time to it with thei t· work. \Ye S~'e the po•)r man's little dihpidatt'll house , which he is nfrnid to rt-p:1ir, fur the lnndlord will runke him pay mure rent if he h :1 ;> :my impro,·ements made ou or about it. \Ye also come to t.he house, and I migh t say palacf', of the hndlorct, <,vcr whi eh he is almo-t a despotic rul e r; and t<J a church out of wbieh the people arc coming. b:t.ving assisted at the sacrifice of the mn.s·.

At length we reach thnt most heaut.iful of all places, immortalizcJ. in sc•ng by tb~ <:•'lebrnkrl I rish poet Moor!', the place unequallerl in gmndeur, the meeting of the water"; a conjunction of two great rivers, in the " weet Ynle of A v o<'~'l.'' This C('llC is o grand and attrac:ive that n per~"n Cllll hardly take his t'J'I:'S 0ff of it, withon~ n Yt-ry great f'ff .. rt. But oue ndmires it more when he sees it at a great ciist:lnre th :u~ near the place itselt. The location is mo~t as~•tredly a fine one, for it is situated ,in a venbnt vnlley surrounded by gr€en hills eovered with flowers.

W e nnw ttun from this lJe:1u li fnl spot an<l direct ou r step townrrls the northem p:<rt of the coun try where. the Giant's Causeway is situ:-. ted. This causeway is made of a grent number of basaltic columns extending into the sea. Nob(fdy knows hc>w these were put there 11.nd the w·or'~ nnturnlly think ing thnt some ginnts mn~t have mnrl e them. gave them the unme they bear. We next climb a high bill anrl hebolrl, pbced at almost reg-ular ctistances over the lnnd, the mighty round towers of Irelancl. They statHl to-flny ns perfect in their :ucbitecture ns they could possibly be, with e~·e ry f't,one placed upon eement ns ~tro ng ns !tself. They stanrl perfectly straight ~nd as firm as on the day when they were built.

W hen we sail along the plensant Blackwater we sec among the ruin5 of Lismore one of tliese round towers and the last thing that attracts our attention when leaving the green Isle is some round tower. There they stantl"The pillar towers of Ireland ht1W wonderously they stand, By the rushing streams, in the si le:lt glens, and valleys of our IandIn mystic file, throughout the is!(', they lift their heads suhlime, Those gray, old, pillnr-temples-those conquerors ot time."

EDGAR ALLAN POE. Graven on the literature of his country, impressed with ind eli b!lity on the poetry and prose of t!Je n ew wo rld is t he nfl me of Edgnr Allan :Poe. True iL is, that as Y('t Am e ric;L C<.Ln n<.t boast o£ such poets as Byron, Dryden or Pope, but when we cv me to think of those whose names throw lustre on the E 11 gli sh lit erat ure o£ the nine ree ntl..! centtt~'}' such as Ke:LtS and Sllelley we unconsciou sly say we have a.n American p oet whose genius, merit a nd private character closely resembl e theirs. Tbis poet is no other th a n the author of the "Raven." B· ·rn in Boston of parents' who survived his birth bnt t \YO J eRrs, brongbt up in atn uencc by a we:.dthy benefactor, tdu ca ted with the greateslc are possible a t a ,school than which none were considered better, yet, notwirh standing all t!:e8e advnnt11ges, hi s nfter life wns s~chns 1.0 jus: ly ,m erit the conduct o f his benefactor aud the contempt of the public.

The year 1809 was si ngularly favored in beholding the birth of this remarka ble man. His parents who, tol.low ed the stage, died, ns I have r em:nked befor e, w hen Ed!{:H' was still }OU J<g, and he, with tile urot hers, was thrown upon the cold cbar ity of t.!Je world. F ortunately or unfortunately, as it may seem to my re ~ders, young Poe was adopted by a. wealthy Englid! gentleman named Alleu. Hi s adopted paren ts se11t ·h im to an English cullege and afLerw:<rds to a Uui venit y of Virginia at nei t her of wbieh schools w :ts be no :erl for extraordinary Rbili :y.

his zeal for w a r-like pursuits an<t be longed for the sun. ny Sonth. :Finding no WiLY of escape he (leliberately violated the rules to such a degree that he was E-xpelled.

The d isgrace brou g ht upon Mr. Allan by this a.ctiQn so iu cetJ secl that geutleman that h e di sowned Edgar, thus f'urcing him to cut ouL a way for bim6elf in the busy world. Y onng Poe, wit!J th e proud spirit of hi s father und th e sensitiveness of h is mother, cut out for himse lf a way, peculiar y ou m ay say, Gut n one the less brilli n. nt and 1\ 0r th y of a genius. In sketching his career l would, indeecl, be pnl'tial were I llOt to rt::count the re mnrknble f:Lets uf l..!is priva te life. \ •Vhi le attenlling college be contraeted ha bits of i m pruv idenee and w~yw:Hdness which i :1 after life stifled h is g enius in 11u ~1 n : tll d egree and brong-ht on tlJat mehweboly d i~po~ i ; ion which is sbaclowed fort h in every line of his P" 'c tr,:·. T!J e sudden ch:tnge frurn luxury to want was t.O •) rn nc b fur him, and the words which Dr. Jo ::t J!'0ll appl!erl to C o llinm ~ y be applied to him, " he eagerly sn ~ tci Jerl tha t temporary r e li e f which the bo tt le flatters and serlue:ei<.''

A VISIT TO ST. VIATEUR'S COLLEGE, NEAR

KANKAKEE, ILL. 0 ,. of the most delightful modes of enjoyment for city people is, as old Horace well says, a visit to the country ; nnd truly enjoyable and thoroughly eujoyed w~s the visit of ( HI I' party of some thirty or forty ladies and gentlemAn from Chicago to the little villa ge of B ourbonn ais Grove, ne ar Kankake4.', where are situated two Catholic instituti ons, Notre D:~.me Ac:tdemy and St. Viateur's Coll ege, which are a credit to the diocese of Chicaao and an honor to Catholic educati on. The littl e (_ villag~ · is tho m g hly French and Catholic, and is the qun,intest a ud quiet little hamlet ever seen outside o f romance. It is one of Northern Illi no is-older th:tn Chicngo, they sa~· . No ra ilroad disturbs its qni etude, the nearest station being Kankakee, three mi les d istant .

The coll ege is a spac iN1s building of four stories, and _can accomm odate over 200 pupils; there are at present 175 st ud ents in the collegiate department., and twenty in the theological; and besides these about sixty'" d[i,v ~ l. ud e nt s ; in it is appar ent how education is patronized in these p~rts. E verything in and about the C<)ll ege is neat and invi ting ; there reigns a particularly hom e-like air about it th a t makes onE:: at borne there from the first. Tile ~p l e ndid study-hall, wi t h its cheerful flowers, its fine paintings, its pure air and bri gh t light is an especiall.v inviting precinct. The chapel is a veri· table gem, bothfor t.astefullness and the richn ess of its adornments, furnished mostly by friends of the institution.

F ew stud ents .c an boast of a recreation hall such as the St. V1ateur's boys eu joy; it is large, neat and rev.lly artistic. There are gymnastic appli ances, b illi ards, ~tc., n reading room off it, another ne;tt and orderly nook. In a word, there is at St. Vi ateur's everything that is d esirable to make college pleasant for the students, and to induce them to study and to be good.
