ED ITOIUALS. THE POETI\Y which g races these pages is a contrib ution from one of our Chicago readers, to whom we are g rateful for the favor.

* * has opened and again THE SPORTING season the active j unior, the appreciative senior and the frisky minim, glad to be freed from t he in door captivity, lightly bound over ·the fresh green in the warm snn. The several games of ba\)e ball that have been played not only havewronght salutary effects on the participants themselves, bnt they have al o interested numbers of am nsed on-lookers and have even dra·wn the book-worms from their favorite haunts--the reading room and the stndy hall, to witness the classic(~) sport.

DO YOU see that Junior with the ruddy cheeks and countenance all lit up with the delights of victory1 He is a hase-bailist, just after winning a hotly conte ted game.

low him again to the· st.ndy hall. See how he sinks into his chai r, quickly wipes the perspiration from his face and bravely re~ches for his Virgil, his history or his geography. In a moment he is completely absorbed in. study. N otice how quick his eye is and how his countenance beams with the intelligence of what he scans. Every move indicates a healthy, earnest, bright an.d happy student- and, so vigorous is his young tn ind, refreshed at times by the exhilarating sp01~ts i;i.to which he always thi·ows his whole being, that when at his desk he is capable of solid anrl quick work. An.d so are those who partake in manly spor ts generally.

** B UT WHO comes there slowly along t he yard fence, looking so dissatisfi ed at the call of the bell and in fact almost un well ~ murmuring as he listlessly whittles a piece of a stick and chews g um (Somebody's best~) Who is it ~ That is the yonng fellow >vho never plays (and who studies only in proportion). Yo n ·will find him a chronical grumbler and constitutionall y lazy. H e hates to stir from one place to another and perfectly abhors any kind of boister om; game or healthy exercise- just what would shake him into the right mood. He abm~in ates exertion of any kind. \ Vhen he has taxed himself so far as to move from his snug shade in the yard to his cushioned chair in the study hall, he presently proceeds to i nd ul g~ in the indemnity he believes himself entitled to and goes to sleep. H e will have repeatedly worn threadbare that so-oft used parts of his habiliments, the seat of his pantaloons, and still will be at the Alpha Beta of all things knowable. Happily these cases are rare birds-but the genus exists.

WE CALL the attention of our fellow-stude~ts to the essay on "The Use of Words" where they will find an abundance of useful and amusing suggestions.

ST. VIATEUR'S COLLEGE JOURN.AL. ,BOUIWONNAIS. · When winds blew wild and earth lookod 'bleak One enrly chill spring d:•y In quest of-well, of that I found, I sought ~ut Bourbonnais. A <dPu<'led sky nrched high nbdve, And nil al;>ont in ple.n ty lay The flearth of winter, but, Oh, yet I turned me not a way, peaceful homes ah< ;Ut ·-were re:;re<l Tho' closed each coLt:tge door t.hat dn.y, Anil yet I felt there's wc::lcome here, And cheer in Bo•Hbonnais.

Then · clasping close my daughter's baml I said, dear child, twixt work and ·pluy Tbou ·here ·enlist knowledge gain for soul And ·mind in Bourbonnais. Dear village whereso e'er I roam, Or bow my 'Vheel of Fortune play, I mrist confess 1 fell in love With th~ that wild spring day. I viewed uot marble Halls or wealth, Tho' · ·~nalth abounds without display And life prized for its true wortb By those in Bourbonnais.

Oh, gold· 'tis true doth pm:chase much, And smooth o'er many an earthlyl WRy, But gvld of Love is the bright crown On thy brow Bourbonnais.

Oh l .t hese the belfreys are that tell Of love anrl Xtian peaee that dwell Iu the grove of Br•nrbonnais. . And co;~.y houses met my view, Like, gems diffusing rny on rny.

LE BIEN POUR LE l'riAL.

Deux voisins ' demeuraiènt près d'une cité; rien 11e Jcs sépnraient- que la couleur politique sons laquelle ils marchaient: un était libéral, l'autre consenatenr. Jean Dumas vivait dans l'abondance. L'hiver, on . enteudait le bruit du fléau qui batt..~it ·]es moissons; en été les oiseaux fàisaient retentir le bocRge de leurs douces chansons. Le bruit dn inarteau î'ur l'enclume disait qve non loin de là demeurait un forgeron: il se nomait Cyprien Laroche; il eait pauvre, mais viv::lit heureusement du fruit de son labeur. :Mais cet.te vie paisible fut troublée dans une élection. Dumas ~'lit à Lnroché, "mon candidat est meilleur que ·le tieri et je le prôu.verai ;" Tu ne le peux, répondit Laroche. Dumas, bondissaùt de colère, int~rrompt son adversaire: "Et je te dis aus~i que demain, lorsque viP.ndra le temps d'enregistrer ton vote, il faut que tu le fasses p<>ur mon candidat on je te chasserai de ·]a place." "Tu ne le feras pas," répliqua Laroche. Dumas insensible, fit ce qu'il avait dit. Laroche fut obligé de laisser sa place natale et s'en alhl au lac St. Jean, place qui était bien peu habitée. Puis· trente ans s'écoulèrent ~ans que les deux bommes se rencontrèrent. · Un jour, à la tombée de la nuit, un viellard aux cheveux blancs était assis à sa fenêtre, et fumait tranquillement; le vent agitait légèrement sa longue barbe qui était ·de la même couleur que ses cheveux; la fumée montait en petites colonnes d'argent et l'entourait comme d'un nuage d'encens. L'ameublement de la maison était d'une si'mplicité :sévère et les grands murs rl'avaient pour ornement qu'un Crücifix, bien be11.u cependant. En hiver, le foyer était le centre où la famille, nombreuse comme les abeiJ.les dans u-ne ruche, se ras~emblait pour passer les longnes soirées. En été, Je jardin, plein de fleurs et de parfums, devenait le lieu de réunion aux heures de loisir. La mère très vieille, mais alerte encore, prenait soin du cellier; ses filles consaieQt Je linge blanc ou nouaie~t · lies· rlentelle<o en ch; ntant quelques chansonnette:l. Paul, fils d.u vieillard, travaillait à la forge. Aujourd'hui, ayant terminé sa journée un peu plus de bonne henre qu'à l'ordinaire il rentra pour se reposer; il ~wait les mains et le visage couverts de poùssière, mais il avait travaillé et ne s'en plaignait pas; le temps que Dieu donnait-on savait l'employer. Ce soir là, avant que le soleil eù.t disparu derrière les montsgnes, on vit venir une voiture traînée par des chevaux wa.igrC$l un vieillard, que le temps et le c'haerin

BOOKS AND PERIODICALS. An interesting collection of letters are being pnbli sheil in The C1·itic in <>ns wer totbe question: "Does the writer rea lly feel what be writes." This quest.i\)tl was submittec! to a ll the leading authors of America and various replies have been received. Many writers say point blank that an Author mu~ t tcela!Jtlta.t be write>; in orrler to convey the same fee lir.g to his reacier; others feel the very opposite, while the majority contend that a writer must feel or have felt at ~ome time . the sentiments he expresses in order to impress others. This hasgtowa out of an article by Mr. V\'alter Besant, which appeared in Atlanta, a new Erwlish l'tlrwazine 0 0 ' and in which be stropgly ins i ~ts tJ;,at it would be impossible to stir others unless we were fii'st moveci Ollt'selves. He bases his assertion on the well known lintlS of Horace: " Si Vis me fiere, dolendum e~t Primum ipsi tibi &.'' It is necessary that the author who wishes hi::. readers to weep sbould first weep himself. Some· of the adverl:'ar ies have taken Diderot's theory "That an A0tor plAys better when not moved by any emotion." The controversy will be watched with great intere~t anci much of importance will be brought for· ward by both parties. The China Decorator given entirely, to the theory and practice of this art is a very worthy paper and will be found useful to a ll who are interested in this mocie of beautifying.

It cannot be too highly recommended to students and all wil:'hing to increase their stock of useful information.
