There were three con testants, more were expected bn t ei .ther staae 0 fri ght or sickn ess prevented a few oth ers frolll participatin g . Mr. H. O' D onnell spoke fh st, his subj ect was the " Drama." H e t reated his subject very well but a different order would have been more effective.

N ext came Mr. J . J . Condon wi th the N earo q nestion. 1Yir. Condon came nearest to that ~ase and g race noticed in an accomplished orator. Mr. P .

Bissonnette spoke on Washing ton. Hi s was a very creditable speech bu t like the first la<-5kecl the m der required for a good oration. vVe m ust co ngratulate the young men on the good appearance they made and we assure them that they have tb e metal if they tent seek to polish and refin e i t.

THE GR AD UATES. THIS ~ s the time of trial for the g racl uates.Thestndy of years I S now to be g rouped in a few b rief lessons and on the result of a few hour's work depends an issue, simple in itself, yet all important to the anxious st udent. After a time of su spense comes

the ass urance that he is su ccessful and together with the pleasing visions of an all promisin g futur e comes the arduo us task of an oration. This too comes and goes and meets the approval of friends, or the sympathy of indulgent hearers.

His success is lauded to the sky and his defeats are pitied and thus aJl is made favorable to him, who is about to step down from the h igher plane of the student to begin the more inviting but less promising career of a business or profession::~.! man.

At the moment of victory, 'fill is dazzliu g beauty, a bright and all uring world str9tches out its an11 s to receive the youn g student and ever lavish with its promises, assures him of success untold; of pleasures unboun ded.

N ow is the important time fo r the g raduate: the new life he is to lead can be made bright or g loomy in proportion as his moral strenght predominates at this decisi ve moment. These thoug hts mn st g uide him. H e m nst not forget that he is a man and t hat he can onl y sustain him self before a critical publi c by the strictest temperance and the most . unflinching honesty. JYien require •a great deal from others, too much perhaps and they exp ect everything f r 0 11 1 the Coll ege-bred man.

Ag,ai u he m nst remember that he is a chri stian that there is a God, a hereafter ; and that the Supremo Bein g wi ll oue clay demand an acco un t of a ll th ose gift s and talents so libm·ally bestowed \ . He must realize how i ll og ical is the materialist and how degradin g is the doctrine of t hose who would snb vert all morality by denying God the an th or of all th at is good an d holy.

Secret Societies be m os t shun as t he bane of ci vilization and the hot-beds of Anarchy and Socialism.

LE CERCLE FRANÇAI S. le prouve assez, surtout à notre époque, où les découverte~> de la science leur font jouer un si grand rôle.

Mais ils sont en même temps les deux plus redoutables.

Dien l'a sans doute permis ain si pour rappeler à l'homme son enti ère dépendan ce, et les funP:5tes conséquen ces de sa pré varication. En effet., si le feu et l'eau, comme le re.ste de la création , lui ont été donn <:'- s pour son bien -ê tre et son agrément, à partir de sa chute, ils sont sou vent devenu8, pour lui et sa prostérité, de terribles fléaux. La dÔuble catastrophe qui vient de fondre sur la petite ville de X .. .. en e.st u·ne nouvelle preuve ajoutée à tant d'autres. Agréablement située au bas d'une colline, la ville de X . ... est traver~ ée par une ri vi ~re rapide et profonde dont les eaux nrrosent et fécondent la plus riante ct la plus fertile campagne.

Hélas! quelques heures à P':iue vont suft1re pour cbanger tout eet a~pect ravissant.

Vers la fin de la journée de 12 Juillet 188 9, d'épais nuages s'amoncellent dans l'esp:ICe, l'atmosphère devient lourde et suffocante: tout annonce un orage prochain.

Cependant malgré l' inquiétude que ces avant-coureurs inspirent à tout le monde, chacun va demander au sommeil le repos des fatigues du jour. Ma.is bientôt le calme profond qui règne à la ville et à la campagne est brusquement interrompu par le plus terrible des oura· gans. Le vent souffie avec fureur, le· tonnerre gronde, les éclairs sillonnent les nues, une pluie mê lée de grêle tombe à tonents. Comme les vagues d' une mer e n furi ~ , l'eau qui se précipite de la montagne dans l:t m ·ièrc la iait subitement déborder. Alori? elle ravage tont sur son passage: les arbres sont bri sés, déracinés, emportés; les maisons craquent et s' .~crou l ent avec fracas. A ce terrible sinistre s'en ajoute immédiatem ent un autre qui, en faisant mieux ressortir l'borre tir d n pr~:mier, met le combe à l'épouvante et à la consternation des ha.bitants. La foudre met le fen à une maison. Le vent qui souffle avec force porte partout les fl:J.mmes qui menacent de détruire tout ce que l'eau a éparg né. A l'aspect de cette neuvelle ca tastrophe, la terreur est générale. De toutes parts, au bruit de la tempète se mêlent les clameurs des personnes et les cris déchirants des animaux que l'incendie dévm:e ou que le torrent emporte. Au milieu de ce spectacle · indescriptible, que de scènes émouvantes et d échirante~; que d'actes de dévoù.ment surbumain n'a-t-on pas vus <L la lu eur de -l'incendie.

En voici un entre mille.

Un père de famiile, aprè:; 'a voir sauvé des flommes cinq de ses enfants retourue courageusement à sa femme restée près du bercea u du plu s jeune. Il cherche, il appelle, mais le tonnerre, le bruit du V'3nt et des ea-ux seuls répondent à ses cris lamentables. L:inondation avait renversé la partie de sa mai soi;~ où ce trouvaient les chers objets de ses légitimes affection~. Il porte alors

ses regards désolés sur la rivi ère: Ob douleur inénarrable! il aperçoit la mère !Jt l'enfant emport és par les flots. Sans se désbabiller., il se jette éperdu dans le torrent. Mais an m')ment où il va les atteindre, épuisés de fatigues, sa femme et lui sont engloutis sous les vague&, et au même instant leurs deux â mes par:.üssent en sem ble devant Dieu. Le berceau seul surnage et est entraîné rapidement par le courant. A quelques pas ile là, un vigoureux Terre-Neuve qui le voit venir, se précipite résolument dans l't. bîme, saisit une lisière atteint à cc pauvre petit esquif, et par des efforts inouïs, il amè .1e, sain et sauf, ce nouveau Moïse au rivage. Quand le jom reparut, la tempête avait cessé et le ciel était redev enu serein. .Mais la ville n' était plus qu ' un chaos et la campagne 1111 désert. Ma plume est impuissante à rendre tout ce que mon cœur a éprouv é d'angoisses et d'impressions navr9.ntes pendant cette nuit qne je n'oublierai de ma vie. En lisant cc récit qu e je t'adresse, mon cher Georges, tu as dîl reconnaître ton infortun é ~ ville natale, et tu dois supposer que parmi les victimes de cet affre•1x cataclysme, il doit y Cil a voir qui te sont bien cbères. Je t'engage donc <L venir le plus proptement possible, et à ne p::..s t'affliger outre mesure. J'aim e à me persuader que tu pui~eras dan>. ta foi et ta pié té force et courage pour supporter avecrés ignation l'epreuve à laquelle la P roviden ce va te soumettre. C' est dans ces moments de suprême douleur qu'il faut tourner uos regnr ls suppli ants vers Dien, car il y a des plaies qu e lui sen! peut ci ca.triser, parce que lui seul peut en sonder toutf-o la profond eur. J' espère donc qu'à l'r xemple elu saint homme Job tu <'liras: .

C'est Dieu qui J'a voulu ainsi; rien n'arrive sans sa permission. Il m'avait tout donn é, il nù t tout ôté ; q ue son saint nom soit b éni. Enfin, mon c:her Georges, si je ne peux all éger tes pein es, sois assuré du moins qu' elles trouv.ero~.t toujours nn pui ssan t éch o clans le cœ ur de ton tout dévoué ami.

Adieu' mais de te revoir Ah! gardons le doux espoir, Déjà l'heure s'avance; Les bras de nos parents Pour recevoir l'enfance •~en trouvent caressants: Qu'une pure allégresse En ce jour de bonheur Rl'ponde à la tendresse Si vive de leur cœur.

Paisible sanctuaire, :Nous allons te laisser; Bientôt à la chaumière :r ons irons reposer.

Adieu! mais de te revoir Ah! gardons le doux e.~poir

Le ranùer se balance Et soudain vers son nid Prend son vol et s'élance; Ainsi chacun s'enfUit .Au lieu de sa naissance, Où tendent ses désirs.

Partons tous en cadence.

Volons à nos plaisirs. )fais déployant nos ailes Pour le toit patemel.

NOS ORIGINES LITTERAIRES DU !Xe AU XIIIe SlECLE (Suite et fin.)

Selon Eginhard, les chantres envoyes par le Pape , étaient, comme tous le~ Latins, envieux de la gloire 1les Francs. Au lieu de venir loyalement remplir ln mission que le Saint-Père leur avait confiée, ils sE: concertèrent, :\ peine sortis de Rome, pour augmenter la confusion qu'ils devaient faire disparaître. Distribués par Charlemagne ctans les villes principales, ils enseignèrent, les uns et les autres, les pratiques les plus diverses, jurant tous que c'étni\. le vrni chnnt gr(>gorien.

LOCAL~.

The ri ght of governmer.ts to govern comes Jrom Gocl to society through the medium of the natural law. God does not confer this power by any spe• :ial act distinct from creation, but He has made it a propert-y of right reason which dictates that men united on one moral whole shall prescribe by express or tac it consent in what manner society shall be govel'ned and preserved .

The political organiz:ttion wbidt a nation adopts must be in accordance with the socirol orga ni zation of its people, for nation~ , like inclividnais, have their peculiar cbar:~ctet· each difficult if not impossible for others to comprehtnd. A mode of government eminently fitted fur one nation would Ice entirely out of place in anoth e r henc'l the f>tilurc of political propag:mdists wl10 attempt to for ce t!Jeories on n. nation , which theories are in no wise suited to it.

The mode of governing a nation is regulated J,y its ext rin sic constitulio n. This constitution is a wrilten instrum~nt contain in g nn organic or fu ndam ental Jaw nnc1 drawn up by the nati on itself ashy a sove reign authority. This law creates or constitutes a governin g agency , defines the rights and powers of its me::n bers and authorizes them to mana ge t he nif:tirs of the nation .

Before giving itself a written constitution the nation must have existed as a political commun ity. The doc ument it draws up rlepenti ~ on the providential organization of that co mmunity, o r in -other words, on the inhere nt or state constitut ion of its people.
