ANl> THE CHURCH.
Et>W-'.RD H . KR..UŒ.R .
At the dawn of Christianity al! nations wnre in volv· du~ky c louds of Pa.ganism and corruption. The Jews themselvts, once God's chosen people, were wandering ft·om the path troctden by thei•· forefather~ and turning their steps towards the gilrled images of their Pagan neighbors. We mny say with Balmes ; ~<MoraliLy was without reality, manner~ witbo ut modesty, the passions without restraint, la ws w!~houl authority, and reli g-ion witbout God." S la ve•·y, the offspring ofpoverty, wa.r and luxury, likea plague, and attended witit its banefu l effects, bad spread among ali nations ~nd seemed t o have usurpe1l the sanction of law. Rome having g athered tbe world witbiu ber walls had fu lfilled ber mission. Her streets ecltoed wit,h t~e tread of represP.ntatives of a li nationalities, loaded with chains driven in to one hoanl by ber might. At evt-ry hattie in wbich the R oman eagle tr iumphed the number ofsla ves increa!ied. H istory relatf's that Mome nobles possesseri fr o m ten tu t wen ty thousaud; in Groece they were a lmost innumt>rabl e , Atl.ens a lo ne reckoniug 40,000. The HelolE of Spart a wem more nume1·ous thau her cit · izens . Pliny s:-~y~, "That the cortt>ge of a family resembled an army .'' Among the ·barbarian nn.tionH th eir n~m bers were imm ense. They were considcred as mere things who cou id be put to d eath at the mnsters' cap rice. Their marrioges were looked upon as no uni on, a nd their cbil<i r en were tr ated like progeny of animais. The crnelties excrcised o n these wre tcbed creature!> nec1l not be mentionec1. Th e r e:tder of bist ory remembers w e tl Veclins Pollio, who feci his fl.sh with the bodies of bis slaves at the !east ca use of d ispleasure, ami Lbe massaere of the 400 slaves ofPedaniu:l Secun<lus. lt was not an t\nu sual occurrence fu r them to be hung up with w:eigh.t s attached to their feet. In Rome it was customary to chain the porter at the door like a <log. Think of them shut up in large partly undergroun1l barrack!', fed on cvrn, a few fa.llen olives or a little salt fish with vinE:>gar. Once in two years one cloak aud a pair of wooden shoes were given them. A fugitive t~lave when caught was branQcd on his forehead with the letter F. A collar is said to he preserved at Rome with this in. scription: "Fugi: tene me: emu revocaveris me domino meo Zonino a cci pies solidum." "A runaway, catch me, when you have reLurnerl me to my mastcr you shall receive 17 shilling~." Tbus the slnve passed his wretched existence in the è ntire subjection of his own will to that of another and this was one of the great cancers of the social state, which the Church bad to beai. And how di(l she pro-
ed in the
'

tbere is no heart :oympatbetic to buman no eye which ever shed l\ tesr for down. tvodden hum:mity, that is 110t now turned 11cross the sea to the land of heroes and scholars, to Irelanè, the emerald isle of the ocenn. Centuries of oppression have swept over her head and y et there she still stands n. queen , but a qucen shoru of her jewels, robhed of her riches a nd nothing left her save unrivulled natural beau ti es which cruelties and bitter wars have disfigured but cou !ct not remove. The last f~w "ITeeks bave. indee(l , becn eventful ones in .Erin's hi story an(: recnll with viviùness to our minds the rla.yR of Gntttan and O'Connel!. The outcome of the late nefarious plot of a tyrannical government n.gain~t the nhle lencler of Ireland's ctestiny, is too fresh in the mincis ol ali to bear repetition. And that eventful clay, wl:en the charges agn.inst Parnell were dismissed, when .J nstice rlcigned to l'mile on an Irish man, is Jookt>d upon as a ~i:oy which metms a new epocb in the history of Irchncl. The golrlen echueti which bore lJ,e news of Parnell's tl t'qu iltal whispered into t he enrs of Irela.nd's every sc•n ::~nd lo\·cr tue m:1gic won{ " Hom e. rule." Yes, tbe la te eonSlJirn cy of the (.;overnment against Pal'llell , the murrlcr of Irishmen in prison by Balfour, the mighty risiug o l ~he English people in favor of constitutional j ustice for t lteil· sister conntry and their finn trust in the wisdom of Gladstone, have made ripe the time for Irelancl to fort:e from an nnwilling sovereign the long cherished right of ruling herself. And whnt R rlay it will be when the Irish capital decked out in ber holiday nttire will welcome tu the most historie huil•iing of an historie co>mtry, !ter own legislators. How the old house of Parliament will rock with t he cheers of those assembled to witncss the triumph of truth and justice ove t· coerc!on and centuries of oppression . Those who are the the h:.~ppy bebolders wi ll, doubt. les:~, bring to tbeir graves memories ofthis event which th{'y woulfl nut, if they coulJ, banish from their mind~. For Patriotism, so long worsbipped, and Religion, so long cherished, joined t<• the long desired Liberty, will form a tdnity wh!ch will raise Erin from the Niobe or nations to her proper sphet·c in the company of government. Let us t::~kc a cm·sory view of Ireland 's past and draw from it ber futnre prospect~! . Centuries ago, ere the foot of the English invader ent-ered b~ r ~o il , Rhe lV~l fl happy. Th e Spring ' s fresh sufferin~,
bt·eezes a.woke the hnsbannman to h is work of cultivating the most fer·tile land of the earth's surface; the Summer's sun bi'Ought out the happy iuha hitants to ecenes of pleasure, mirth and enj oy mP.nt; Autumn invited tlle honest farmer to g ather to himself the fl'llit of bis t oil; and Win ter, dreary as it was, ser.vcd as a season of rest a nrl ilomestic happi11e~ $. This was Irelnnd in happier dnys. I nstitut:ons of learning graced her venerabl e hills, religion softe nP.d the hearts of ber inhabitunts, and freedom did bornage at t.he shrine of this most patl'iotic people of the world. Bqt times ha ve sadly changed. Th e frightful marks of the tyrant's bee! a re now found everywbere. Despoiled ol ber land by a cruel government, her cit.izans made aliens in their own country, the sweat of whose brow oerves but to enrich men wbose ~vl e purpose is to rivet tighter tbeir chai ns; t.bese are a few of the eruelties Ireland bas to suffer. Incited by such deeù a her sons havE~ sought refuge in other, bnt happier conntries, and have d istingui:;hcd t.hemsel v es both in the science of war and the pUI·s uits ot peace. The sun of Ireland's destiny, however, still lurks behind the dark clouds of persecution; but when she has her own legisl&tors this sun will again shed on ali, the beams of national cu !ture and the refiocment of the industrial arts. Erin 's p1·ogress will then be most rapid. Justice will be the watch-word, and Experience the gui(le, of thùse long bmied, but theu resut'l'ected princi pies o f Irish liberty. lrish commerce will receive an impetus; t.he green tlag will be a companion of the ''Stars and ~lripes" on every sea :.wc! in every 0lim(•; and Emm ct's epitaph will at length be written. In learning she will ag,(in resum e 11er place. From the fil'th to the fourteenth cenlury fe\v countrics of Emope excel!ed Ire land in architecture, se ul ptu re nod the decorative arts; am! with prosperit.y these long !ost trarts of Erin's ingenuity will ngain break furth . Go!d. ~>mith, Tyndal, 1\iuo re, O'Connell, B urke, Sheridan and G riffin, represt:>nting every depa rt.menL of literature, are the off,;pring of n per.,ecuteri pn,rent, and wbcn persecution shall lla ve ceasecl, wh en her own l eg i ~ laLOrs shall give an impetua to literature, science nnJ art, by the dissemination of learning, what cau we noL cxpec t from the isle of scholars? Ireland! in ail yom future glory we behol<i you. Y our past actions hespeak a happy future, and in Otll' co untry as long as the fl:lg of freedom waves ove r our heads we will not forget you. Centuri es have passed since the in v ader set his foot on y our theo ~appy land-centu- · ries of oppression and crime - cbastenecl b.y th>Jse misfortunes, the doom of nations bas not tak~n place with you.

golden Jea.ve:. on the buge oak trees looked more beautiful thau ever and the long brown grass sparkled like so many diamor:ds. After we had eaten our breakfa t, which consisted of sorne nice brook bss~, a piece of veuison, bread and butter, and a good eup of coffee, and were sitting in front of the cabin smoking our pipes, my frienrl begim tr.lking about a large bear that had been the tel'l'or of the mountains t'or years, anrl that its !ien wns iu a large cave about tive miles distant; he saict he was always afraid togo nenr it alone but thought that there was no dangE:'r in our going tog-ether. So we prepnrect a lunch and sta;rted. \Ve nrriv"'d 1\.t the cave nb .• ut noon, nu d being tired :•l•d hungry wc sât down nnd ate 0UI' Jur.ch.

We could not see .Mr. Bear, w we resolved t<l wait for hin;, Knowing tbat n bear never stays away from his den longer thau 24 hours. ·we built a fire and campect for Lhe night; and after we b!ul tnlked about our exuloit, as it was getting late, 1 told Johh tbnt he could go to sleep whilst I would watch.
