OU R EXCHANGE have a long time uggest.ed u the idea of an Exchange Table, Personal, porting Editorial notes. As we bn.ve only 7 pages and do not wish to be too lleterogenous we keep on writing essays. Perhaps will the journal acquire taller dimension a it grows older. Then it will gradually assimilate these desired attachments. As for our exchange column, to be p1·operly attended it requires rr.ore time than we can at present give 1t, and rather than ha ve a poor one we prefer to have none at all. We will, however, prai e or blame, quote and correct or approve accordi'ng as time or opportuui tv favors.

* AS FOR A COVER and *binding, we llave looked into the matter closely. It would certainly be roost desirable, especially the thread . .. But! such is our shortness of hands that the binding process, we find , would , in our staht quo, delay the issues one day or two and perhaps more. ' Ve therefore let it go loose as ever, waiting for developments. * **

THE .JO UR~ AL with this is~ u c ente rs upon t he fourth year of its publicati on; hen ce a new Editor in chief~ a new volume and a new number. A ch::t11 ge, we tru ::;t an im provem ent, has bee n made in tb e disposition of it~ matter nnd in the addition of an editorial column .

***

THESE EDITORIALS will treat of subj ects edu cational , scientific, criti cal, etc ; we will try , ns much fl S possible, to keep on general C(.] lege ground s.

THE ORI GINAL SI~ of erlitors, they say , is to ask for their pay. It must be admitted that the j ournal men have not cmnrni tted that fin very often. We arc vety strongly tempted, th ough, now to indu lge in a petition when i.n the face of so much to do with little means. Now onresteemed alumni , y ou who so generously helped in founding the journal , g ive us now another push and help us still to perfect what you so meritoriously started, and what st.ill remains such a sw eet bond of union between the actual students nnd their predecessors.

* * *

THI:<; .FHE~CH SUPPLEME::KT is ready to accompany the j ow·nal in its 011ward roarcll towards fam e ; we find it a b11l e companion and trust it will ever be appreciated by our readers.

***

IT I~ MOST ENCOURAGI ' G for the Editors of the J ourn nl to lo(>k back upon their work of these three years bound up before us in 6 ni ce v olumes of Bro. Mainville's best loindin g, which will be a priceless addi tion to our library, an<l will ever remn.in t.he sacred tabernacle wherein are treasured np the sweet memories of l'oll egc yen.rs.

•

OUR l'Al'.ER is not by any means n. netr s paper, nor is it asportingpnper, or a society paper ; it isessentially a literary p!lper nncl from th e way it is judged by its exchanges it admirably bits its aim . The fact o f an editorin.l page will naturally redu ce literary "articles;" but we prorni s~ to make up by qu ality what we lose by 'luantity .

BA N D .

· Caeteris p aribus, the drnma "If I were a King" succee<led well e nough. It is not a com :cal play, nor is it, in the force of th(:' te rm, a tragedy; it is interesting, · though, as a uBw nov el and is admirably adapted for be.'l.utiful stage effects. It goes with the m agnificent in scenery and costumes; these were all there. No w, l\1r · Editor , your carving knife please, fot I rnust come t o the cntt ing part. The shepherd s of the bny of Ischia, headed h y th e brave and leam ed Cecato, were the la ughable feature of the play. The lin es were well learned, the nature of their roles well stndiecl and rendered; this, rem f)m.ber, iS the great merit of an actor: to und erstand th~ i·ole be personat.~ s and to give it faithful, life-like expression. The meeting of the two little brothers was fair; I'm tempted to say very g vod. The anxiety ofth e shepherds after their lost Genaro was natural enoug h, as also their willingness t o dispose of old Banquo, ancl their behavior in the royal halL Ceca to, of loafing reputa tio11, also onc.e t.be rig ht arm of Jean Renaud , d eserves special menti on for the able manner in which he played his part; his every move was th e sig nal for a laugh. His speech before the roy a l Court should be preserved as a mosl powerful weapon for the undoers of conspiracies. Let Ban quo go, the frowning old v illain. G emir o, as shep herd king , expressed truly the vehement desire he f elt of being a mighty Kin g ind ee rl . The pei·plex ing, unaccountable metamorphosis puzzled him mu ch ; but he tcottlcl sa ve the kingdom , and so he did and nobly t oo . •Twas vP-ry tru e that " his a irs wvuld g race t!te throne of France. " Genaro principally excell ec1 in his address t o the Comt, wher e, in unveil ing thn monstrous plot of Ruisco ll.nd Don Gonsalvo, be boiled up to a natural d egree of passion, b ring ing to the assistance of his clear , silvery voice RJ'cl commanding appearance some v ery elegant gestrn es. Ic is r eall y surprising that the boy still so childlike, so fo nd of his marbles a nd tops and all hi s li tt.le sports, could become so se rious and play King in such r oy al style. Celeste is cer tainly promising . King Ferdinand and his Cou rtiers and P~tges,· all the gaudy pagean t ry of the (jonr t , that was magnifiqu e ! Ferd in8nd crowned and in r oyal robes looked splendid. The kindliness of 'the unsuspecting monarch was well portrayed. The joke was w ell t old . The King's soliloquy, so full of d.i v ers~ sentiments, and co nseq uently requiring much soupleness in t he general appearance a nd expression; was ndmirably rendered. Bu t when th e infamy o f his co usi n was p roclai med by the m ock king in his presence, F erd inaJJ d, and in general the cour t, d id not manifest the horror whi t; h such a crime sho uld . have inspired. In recog niz ing hi8 two t;hildren, kidnappeel fro m him years Lefore, there was not that a ffectionate cmbntd' of a lov ing an<l grateful p'a rent aml his

LES SEMAILLES.

A vee le retour du printemps,arrive le temps des semailles. La terre apr(s s'etre lentement depoullee de confroid manteau de neige, se rechauffe a:ux rayons bie:-~fai8ants du solei] c'est. al01·s que Je diligent labouseur se p~·epare a ensemencer sa terre. A peine l'aube matiuale commence-t-elle i\ blanchir l'bo rizon qu'il est rend u a v ee tons ses enfants da1is le champ, que lui !aissa son pere. D'une main assuree, il guide Ia charrue, qui est trainee par ue vigoureux · chevaux, que le plus vieux de ses fils guide, tout en causant, com me on le fait a cet age. Lorsqne le sol est entierement prepare, l'infatigable laboureur attache a son cou un semoir de blanche toile, rempli de grain .qu'il repand comme une pluie d'or dans les guerets. B:entot, les chevaux sont atteles ~i. la herse, herissee de longnes dents de fer, pour recou vrir d'uue legere couche de terre le grain qui bientot germcra en riches moissons. .La 1eligion, qui prend l'hcm me au berceau et lc> conduit jusqu'au seuil de l' eternite, ne l'oublie pas dans ces temps de penibles labeurs: au printemps. elle chante des litanies, fait des processions dans nos hameaux pour appeler sur la terre les benedictions d'en haut. A\'ec quelle confiance, on enfonce le soc dans le sillon, apres a voir prie" celui qui conduit le char brillant clu soleil, dans sa course journaliere, et qui conserve dans ses inepui1'ables richesses le vent du midi et -les tiedes ondees! L'homme des champs sent avec joie son ame s'epanouir aux saintes .infl ut)nces de la religion et sa semence chere aux rosees du ciel: Beni celui qui produira des moissons utiles, et dont le creur flechirn, an jour des ju:stfces supremes, sons ses propres vertus, comme le chaume sons ses bloncls epis !
