The \ glory of Assyria, of Greece and Rome is buried beneath ( the ruin of ages; the shouts of victory have years ci ago died out, and even the glittering palaces in which many kings carousP-d have turned to dust. The time, too, shall come when our proud cities, our own stores of wealth, all the pageantry of power, shall go down in ·, the general n1in. The time shall come when these days, ----- • tliat now resonnd with merry songs of pleasure and 1 ) glad shouts of triumph, shall have their place far away VIRTUE ALONE SURVIVES. in the si lent past; generations yet to be, may look back to them and learn from them the nothingness and l\[a.ny persons, from ln.ck of proper thought. may utter instability of all this world gives. feel a great attachment to the world; they may value A~d again. Glance once more over the years that the glittering pageantry of lite ; but, on calm and serious are gone. Behold that long lin e of white robed Saints reflection who will not SflY in his heart, that, of all the who, from the dawn of Christianity even until now, treasnres of ear~h. "Virtue alone survives." The gifts of havr., each in his turn, added another gem to the fortune are transient and uncertain. 'Vho leans upon crown of the Church of Christ. The treasure they them leans on n broken reed.

How often llas it happened, them glorious and triumphant to that beautiful shore and how often does it o:till happen thnt men fall "where eyes cense weeping and hearts sigh no more." frorn a high station of life to look "orrowfully back Such, is the nature of virtue. Not only does it brighten and exclaim with Wolsey: Had I but served my God onr way through life, but, when life is ended, it shines with half the zeal .... He would not desert me ....

IMPRACTICAL PEOPLE.

't. I

People thrown loosely , as it were, into the great road-/ way of life, neither knowing nor caring where or wheq.' to turn, are impractical people. So are some odds ancf. ends of people one meets every day, who think thi: world , for one reason or another, owes them a living, -~r, must stop in its course and go o ut of its way, to consult their wishes and well being. Impractical people are they who im agine other men bnsy with their little con cerns and r eady to do them service, as soon as a turn •comes in the pa th and when one mu st needs tnm by him self to right or left, to follow ihe sure path leading to journey 's end and success. A guide post erect ed at the cross roads amounts t o nothing for the impractical man; the commonwealth for his sake would have. to station a publi c crier under every such convenience, and even then , old impractical might question, ·not the authority bnt doubting-Thomas-like, the crier's reality. The impractical man makes an act off:.-utb every clay. But it avails him n othing. He wonders too how often he renews it and bow often it brings him the self same nothing. H e trusts all to G0d. Providence he says will do all things right. At the same tim e he neglects the means heaven provides and his fortnne of the future remai ns where he could find it if he sought viz., with God, by

-----------r-o-·vhcrc~nn-rn::retr,, to vitiate the stoek Impractical people usnHlly rely upon others nnd with good r eason. Th ey hl ck determination ancl enterprise themselves nnd like drowning men, reach out to the first thing handy. Jf th e obj ect seized sinks, th ey sink too. Blind men :ne npt to lead other blind men nstray in this world :Olll Y how: An anchor may hold a ship bnt a ship load of a nchors is likely t o send t he best model eel craft to t he bottom. Impra ctica l peo ple are- too heavy t o carry long distances. They ontweigh nncl overbahnce goocl nature all the tim e. Now what is the rem edy against this ev il. It is harcl to state. Become practical is the r eadi est , though perhaps not th0 easiest snggestion to the question . How? L et every man consnlt the dictionary of hi s own life; let ·him read between the lines of hi s weaknesses and difficulties. Some flpt definition will occur to meet · his wants. Seizing_ it at once and turning it to good acco unt will likely contribnte to his enlightenment and serve him from many blunders. s. :M:.

ST. VlATEUJt'S COLLEGE .JOURNAL.

--SALVE ET VALE.The other morning while sitting at my open window, looking out upon the neighboring street, I saw .a merry party approaching the old stone church as it stands sombre and ftlone looking clown in majesty on t he humb le cottages of the v illage. Foremost was a yonng lady of radiant beanty, attired in nnptial robes, sn rround ed by friends whose sunny countenances bespolte t hei r inward joy. Close by was t he Yillage blacksmith who to-day had laid by his. apron, for a suit of coventional b lack. He was accompanied by his fath er who smiled complaisantly on his manly son. I'Vhile contemplating these manifestations of rejoicing in onr generally quiet· village, tbe church bell pealed out its merry chime announcing to all , the ad vent of that happy day when two hearts would beat as one. Down to the altar walked the couple with reverent tread and ere long the joyful notes of the wedding march vibrated upon the calm morning air. All went merry as a marriage bell. Scarcely had the glad sound s of the wedding march died away when the solemn tolling of the bell hnshed the happy gTeetings and awakened thoughts of the last bitter hour, vv.hen man having finished the p ainful pilgrimage of life, find s himself a t the clreacl pass beyond which is certainty and uncertainty . Then the bell was silent again , and wondering what eaused this strange transition from joy to sadness, I cast a hurried glance aro und , and not far off, beheld a small proces~ion with slow n.nd measnred tread approaching. In front came six weeping children carrying a coffin wherein lay all that was eart hly o a swe -t child who pln.yed with them but yesterday . T enderly they deposited t heir little treasure on the. bier before t he church and one by one kn elt clown to pray till t he marriage rite was over. All was gladness within. A new life had begun in sunshine and happiness, fond friends came to celebrate the joyful occasion with fest ivities nnd rejoici ng and join in t he prayer thn.t the clouds of acl versity might never dark en t heir no'~ sunli t way. No t houghts of sorrow were there, perhaps the memory of friends long dead were forgotten for t he time, and the storms of yesterday were bu shed in the calm otto-day. Out~icle t here was n o rejoicing an d aHi icted hearts gave ntterance to their sorrows. How changed the chmch seems. now. No longer the soft note of g laclne~s is heard but all is sile:ht as the tom b. The bridal party has left the _ch nrch; t he cofll n OCC llp ies the place left vacant by t he happy bride and groom, the priest who but a few moments ago blessed the hu sband and wife, now performs the la st sad office for the d ead. A grave in a lonely corner of the old church yard receives the cofll n and with tearfnl eyes the fri ends take a last HLrewcll of that silent clay .

That night the house of the bride was lit up with , dazzling jets of li ght, there co uld be heard soft n otes of mn sic, the concourse of many voices-all in dicating t he merriment whi ch reigned within. But in another home that night, a lonely taper burned upon a. table around which a Jamily gathered; silent and m ~ditativ e were all , for gri ef had entered there nnd !eft no room Jor iclle tnlking. They thought not of their neighbor's cheer or if t hey did, it only aclderl another pang to their already nffl ictecl hen rts to think how little noti ce t he world took of their miseri es and that, " The next day's snn in sp lendor, woulcl shiu e upon t heir · darling's tomb." This in cid ent of a n honr is onl y one out of the many which cl a.ily takes place, but happening in our midst forcibly impresses the truth of the poet's words:"From the gild ed saloon to the bier and t he shroud Oh! why should the spirit or mortal be prond." In the immense throng crossing the bridge which spa ns the river of time, we Eee youth racli fmt with hope an d bea uty, pursuing empty phantoms, old !lge fo rgetfu l or its npproaching doom efl.gerly hurrying on to some desired p lnt, wlli lst nn cler thei r very feet they see broken Rpans through whi ell o mnny of their friend:; . have fallen into th n.t merciless st ream whi.::h must forever hide them.
