Ask tlte iloary old man of his lite anu he will dwell with folli lne~~ on tllc sweet recollectior: of his youth and will delight in relating his boyi:;l.t freaks. He will dwell with

pleasure Oil the iln.ppy moment~ S]JCn t oy the glowing firl'~ick, pereliancc listening to the flLn<'iJul talc of goblin or fairy and sti llmore earnestly will he linger on the ltapp:y days speu t ruonlding his ch~tracter al.lll

ctcYeloping his mind under the guiuance of his professors. The portion spent by a student in a college is indeed the most advantageous and happiest period ofhis life. On entering he Jeuves . the world at the door

' suhjects himself to the rules of the im;tituiion and from that time is under the care of his Superior,;.

College life ha& its joys ttllll sorrow ti. You will find

See birn at recreation, light hearted, wrapt in llis games,

without care or re!:'lJOnsibility, JHHSilirsg the various sports to tlivcrt his mind from the cltt::;s r oom ta~k and give it fresh thougl1ts and incipire him wit.h courage to battle bravely in the s tTuggle for knowledge. The monotony of llis life is broken ~y the occasional visit of soruc relat i vcs, or by the v ar iation of some enter­

tainments. As the year rolls onward the youth is anxiously

anticipating the eve or· reunion and us bis heart swells witll emotion he pours forth a prayer of thanksgiving. He entered, a youth tllin;ting for knowledge, full of tht

brightest hopes, aud returns to llis blbsful llome having accom pli~hed tlle most ardent witihcs of his dear parents .

He bas b u t a few weeks more to strive fur a reward. A~ those huppy tlloughts of home flit before his vivid imagination, be forms a resolution to carry away some trophy however humble it may be. He has been a student well worthy of the praise of hi:~ professors and on the day of leaving his college :.ome he rece ives llis well deserved reward and as he glanccJ into the fntme, the brightest hopes are heture him . Hit~ sojourn. in the college had been a happy one, never to be forgotten­Many are the long sleepl!:ss nights he bus spent in drc::tm­·ocr of the iuture When the time of p::trtiug has arrived 1 "' • and he bids farewell to his beloved comp:mions, some of whom he is never to meet again, the tears of sincere affection and emotion uome to his t>.y c3 and his tbrc•at fills as he bids a frmd Arlieu. Ties of fricmlsllip which bo·w<l him to some chosen companions must ou that day be severed,-no, not broken, for though we be 5epar:tte<1, onr college associations will live on with us. He leaves t.uat llr.,ppy abode full of gratitude, lull of love for hi s superiors nnd as he is fold ed in the fond embr:tce of hi s parents"he forgets his trials and nwells only in the joy of the past. 1\'lany_ arc tbc happy even ings he spout around tho fire side relating llit~ CollP-ge experiences.

J'e:;père que tu prendras cette épreuve en chrétien, c'est la volonté de Dieu, il faut s'y soumettre. Not1:e découragement ne changerait tien aux choses. .Et ta pa uvre-mère a déj <l assez de peine sans qu'elle appren­uc que tu de décomages en apprenant la mort de ton pèru.

la voloJLté de Dieu qui est le meilleur des pères et sait mieux que nous cc qui nous convient. Ne t'inquiète pas de ta mère ; on prend bien soiu d'elle; elle est chez nous maintenant avec tous ses enfants. Elle ira J'année pro­chaine chez ton oncle Léon.

Je t'écris à la course. Je te reverrai bientôt et te clollnerai tous les détails qui t'intéresseront . T a mère t'ambrasse ainsi que toute ta famille .

pecially tJiJC growlmgs of those who -..Yhen they get their paper filled by the help of fri ends, take ad v.ant:Jge of that circumstance to criticioe others; of another kind who believe tl.!at aeollcge paper shou lo be a light tor the world rather than a fi eld for st.ndents' practice. Who read college papers after all? Very few. And who goes to theru for models of style, or the soln tion of great problems? No one. Who would impres~ pecple that they sboulcl be snell? Those wllo developed ouly one of their bumps: that of self. esteem.

Message, murk our words! Your estim<tte of A..mcrica.nism b narrow and ignorant.. \Ve believe in til at bwadcr and truer Americanism wbicll admits of all the accumplishmeuts of the most llighly civi li zed life. It is higll time for you to be told that a knowledge of the languagr 3 doe.; not lower or weaken tll e patriot­ic serJtimcnt of any man worthy of the name ancl capa­ble of higher things ; but it. g ives a sUm· p of true and high culture to the land, and shows t!Ja.t we are not all altogether ttbsorbed in rail-roading and in coining dol­lars . Think not, therefore, that our mon ·,!Jly supple­ment in Freneh is a menace to Ameri can Institution ~,

or that it stifles American pa triotism in our youug hearts. The J OUI<:NAL, we think, bas ohen enough ex­prcss1:d our truly and thoroug hly <\m e :lean sense ; usc­l e ~s to demonstrate e vidence . ... Here we do not do things by halves. W (l are not sat is!ied with 1 ~ xning a feiv detached pllrascs from text books; we learn some­tlling that, while it may be truly refining , will also be useful to u s. So we lcnrn t,o ~ P t'- :tk and write French. l-Ienee our French Su pplemcnr. If we r.nd otllers lake so much time and spend so much mo11ey in acquiri~g n little k.wwler;e of French, how can you blame those whose htng uage it is, for culli vating it? Our fellow . students here, whose mother tongue is French, are few in number and are not foreig ners, bu t Americans, born right here in the midst of!'ll that is Am erican . They are proud of tbe eountry of their fa ther's adoption-out

thinlr it no crime to remember the lu-nd an~1 the lan­guage of their anc"stors. They arc not ashamed of Lafa.y­ette, nor of llis sweet accents. Talk about nasal twn.ng!

In the CEHCLE FnAN<fAIS there were articles entitled: Genius is Pati ence, Andre Chenier and Chatcuubriand. Hllw could devotional feelin gs fin ~l in them their way . tiomen.rticles wert! ~erely reproductions from theJounwl de Bruselles, but t\iey Lave been merciless ly enveloped in the general m,assacre. The Message does not vgi·ee ·witll the C:Jllegicm- thc Uuiversal Review of college papers 'which sJ.ys : "The St. ViateU1·'s Collegr; Jou~·nal, Bourbo11nais Grove, Ill., is a thoroughly interesting semi-montbly. Combining hn.pp; Jy local intelligence with solid literary wortlJ, it ably represents the undcr­gracluate literature of a powerful sect. Perhaps tile striking fenture of the Jmana l, certainly a unique thi.11g in the college world, is its Gercle Francais. We would hea.rtily recommend the reading of the articles written under t.hi s head, and in the French tongue, .to all who clwnce upon tile paper."

The E-mm·y Phcenix of a late date, in a criticism of an nrticle which appeared in tlle J ouRNAL: "\Vhy Ca­tholics should rejoice at the Inangu ration Centennial," seems to appreciate the sentiments contained therein, but fears that we bave committed ourselves-by R too llberal doctrine. If o ur fricl1(l of the Phcenix Jw.cl read closely, he would know that the sentence quoted by him wa> clirc::ted to Protestants. Honest Protestants aelmowlcclgc tllat there is s:1.ivation in the Catholic Church; Catholic3 know that there is no salvation outsid e the pale of tile same Churclt. This does not m€an tllat only those who are active Catholic will be saved, but applies as well to those who lead good lives and arc earn "-stly in search of the tnte relljion. Tllat is Catholic Doc trine. About the oath of allegiance tllat Bi~lwp:; and Archb ishops take, yon ure entirely mistaken. These make a profession of faith and also declare that. tll ey will oppose any hcr e<;y or schism that arises in the Churcll , in other words they promise to oppose error and it wou ld seem that nll men should do as much. Your anthority( ?) ha s no foundation for the decluration he made. When you wish to be informed on Oatllolic matters consult the proper authority, not peo­ple or books as poorly inform ed as yourself.

An Italian Dominican, Padre Alberti Uuylielmoth, has published a dictionary of naval and military teTms the result of forty years of the chronical studies. It is announced that .<\_bbu H ogan, or Brighton Seminary,

\Ve learn with regret that tho improvement recently ma­nifested in the health of .Archl.Jishop TI.ionhw of San Fraueisco was but temporary. A private letter from that city describes his health at present as wretched.

On June the Oth. the Pope held a ccn :story, and ma,-e the occtsion i :n [nrt'ln~ by the ere ·ti 'n of seven new Cardinals and l.Jy the creation of s:wera.l bishops. Of the new cardinals there were two for Italy, three for France, one for Austria, and one for Belgium. The fnl l number of cardinals in the christian world, is now seventy.

Among the lirst to assist the sufferers of tlie late Penn­sylvania calamity were the bishop of Pittsburg, the priests and good sisters. Their timely and sa.crilicing et1'orts hav e releivetl many poor unfortunate beings. There were nine Chari ty, sP.ven Franciscan and seven Benedictine Sisters. .Among the priests were ltev. Father Guido, Geobel, Cos­grove, Gallagher, Trotivein, B.osenstreet, Doren, Corcoran, Derlin, Boyle, Smith, O'Connell and Lam bury.

From Valanza, in Spain, comes the news of the founda­t ion of a new religious order, which has for its object the ass isting the colldemned in the prisons and the galleys, and looking after released prisoners. The founder of this new Order is :Father S ~1igi Gaarclian, of the Franciscans of the Jvlodelena in Val::mz:~., who is much assisted by the governor. H,ecen'Jy fourteen young men of good famili es took the mo(lest habi t of the Order, when the ecclesiasLical, civil and mili tary authorities of Valanza, assisted at the inter­esting ceremony.

.A rem r~rlmb le story is told about the sisters of the Catho­lic convent of .Johnstown. When the mother superior saw the wave coming from the South-Fork dam, she at once called t!te sisters to the chapel. Here the dozen nuns began to pray for protec:tion against the water which was fast approaching. When the heavy mass struck the building it shattered the entire structure, and every room except the one where the sisters knelt in prayer. :\ nothcr miracle in the same place Las caused a great sens:ttion. Iu one of the Catholic churches "~here devotions were held, t.he water rose fifteen feet, ba<lly damaging th:) interior, yet the deco­rate<l statue of the l3lesse<l Virgin, o:tly thrue feet high, was not sullied by the liqu ic.l.. The flow::r.;, the wreaths, the lace veil were undisturbed ;u1(1 unsoiled.

A recent <lecree of the S:1.cred cJn:;Tu;:rat.ion of H.ites has declared the validity of the; process instituted in Paris by Apostolic authority, with regard t rJ the nnctity, virtues and miracles of Mother J3a 'Tat, the f•mn -rc..;l3 of the Bisters of the Sacred Heart. The s:tme Sacrccl Congregation, has also decided the case of beatification and canonization of the venerable servant of God, Father Lorenzo du 'l'rfdillo, a Cupucl1in p]jest. It has also conflrme:l the custom practiced in AJ:mecy from time immemJrial in honor of the venerable servant of Uod,' the Abbe Benoit.

The same Congregation has granted an Office and prop,er, means for the Feast of J3l<>ssed John Fisher, Blessed Thomas Moore, and the other English martyrs.

The first work of Archbishop Sighcrs after being conse­crated Bishop 8f of of Vancouver Island and Alaska, was the opening of the west coast of Vancouver Island; by establishing missions and dedicating them to the Sa,crcd Heart of J esus. The zealous Bishop on his initiatory voyage baptized 884 little children and shortly afterwards sent a priest to Hesquiat to reside permanently. And now the whole coast is in care of four priests who are !:)acrificing their lives for the conversion of the poor savages. A letter was recently received by Bishop Semmens of Victoria, from Father Brabant, who was one of the pioneer missionaries of l3ishop Sigher's band and who in the first year o.f his la.bors was attacked and almost mortally wounded by a savage chief and left for dead in the woods. The Rev. gen­tleman still bears the marks of the terrible encounter.

The London Telegraph thus comments npon the death of Father Damien, the leper martyr; "The news, sad as it is, cannot be regarded with tb e feeling ordinarily excited by the death of a public man. The departure of that pure and noble soul forbids altogether the usnal language of regret, and inspires instead something like gladness at the release of a friend of heaven and of a man in whose ears, if ever in those of any emancipated spirit, will be surely heard the celestial greeting, "well done, thou good and faithful ser ­yant!" In an age of incre<lulity and cynicismitjtere was one simple priest who, by his perfect love for his kind and absolute devotion to a terrible self-chosen duty, fixed upon himself the admiring grateful gaze of all civHizatio11."

The anti-slavery crusade is still vigorously pushed by Cardinal Levigeri e. His Eminence Las just writt-en a letter of invitation to the members of the anti-slavery committees to the International Congress to be held at Lucerne, Swit­zerlard, on August 3rd; next. The delegates will comprise representatives from England, Belgium, France, Germany, Aus lri~, Italy, Spain, Portu~al , f:lwitzorlancl, H olland, Ha,yti and West Indi es. The Congress will last a week closing A u;;ust lOth. The Cardinal appeals to the col01;ed free men of ::;; iberia, of Hayti and the U nited States to send delegates to this gathering. His Eminence addresses those "in the name of Africa and of Europe, which,'' he says; "will not hear them without being touched. They should Seize this opportunity to plead in behalf of their brethern and to receive the friendly greeting of the assembly." The Congress wi ll no doubt be a great success, as the Cardinal has enlisted all Europe in the work.

A young Indian lady has just been received into a Bene­dictine Order at Zell Dak. This yonng lady is a typical Sio nx, no blood of the white man coursing through her veins says the Dekota Catholics. Five years ago, at the age of twelve, she was placed under the care of the Bene­dictine Sisters at Fort Yates, where for four years she . diligently pmsaed. her studies. The last year of the five was spen't in the same manner with the Sisters of the Holy Childhood, at .Aurea, l'!Iurray county, Min. At length hav­ing shown a marked vocation to the life of a religious, she was brought by Rev. F. Craft to Zell, theplaceofherchoice, where having served the customary time as a postulant she received from H.ev. Father Bumning the holy habit, and became a novice of the Order of St. Benedict. She is the first full-blood member of the Sioux tribe to enter the religious stat<>.
