VIRTUE vs VI CE.

T he preacher has so often proclaimed that, virtue con­tributes more than fortune, to the happiness and welfare of man, that it is almost unnecessnry to sn.y anything

• concerning this truth. Yet there nre some who. enticed by the frngrnnce anclngreenl,lcnc;:s of worldly pleas.. ures, have forsaken virtue as an enemy, and mace fortune an object of servile a.domtion.

Thcce people may discover th~t, if they ever acquire a fortune. it will be of no avail unless they possess the virtues necl'l&'Jry to point out the proper way in which to n~e wealth; and these, too may lenrn that, virtue, not fortune, is the true source of hnppiness.

I n the first place what i. virtue? Properly speaking, it is the dil'ochnrge of one's duties towarfls (~oct ancl man :-whnt e:m render men more hnppy than the con­scion neS8 of a proper di~cha.rge of duty? tiurely, not fortune.

Virtue is a quality which always h:-t!' been nnrl nlways will he nnmired by mankinfl. To prove thi!', 1t is only i:e<·Pssnry to call to minrl the nr~mes of king~, emperors n.nd ~ueh wealth:"~' p€rS011:1ges ns have nbnnrlonecl their plen!'nre!', their fnmilie8, their home~. nay, their very fortnne.'l and bnrierl th~?mselves in monnsteries and for wha,t purpose? to prnctiec virtue: What constitutes the martrys' glory? Is it becnnsc they were inheritors of immense fortunes? ~o: hut because they loved and practicen virtue rmrl died in its defence. But some will nsk: "why is virtue so highly prized?" Becnuse it is accompanier\ hy an inwnrcl reward, bo>cnuse it b n

source of tempornl arlvantr~g~?. becnnse it wins for those who practice it the affection of most Jnen. Some mn.r deny that n virtuous person is truly lwppy bee}\U8e, like any other he is not free from temptations and trinls. It is true he is not fi"ee from their., but, he easily over­comes them an<i they serve nnly to strengtheu the tie which binrls him to God, 1ur mankind has genernlly recognized in afflictions something of supernatural strength.

We consirler a virtuous man a hero. Bnt how? Is it by holding p€Oples and nations in chnins? Tiherius had this honor. Is it by satisfying one's pas.~ions J,y vcnge·mcc? Octnvius hnrl this plc:t;;ure. Is it hy ruling

a p€Opla hy means of fear? ejanus made every one, even his master, tremble: hut to extinguish the fi re ot one's anger, to know how to conquer one's self, to subdue the pron,ptings of one's pride, this is what all just men will Cllll being a hero.

W here there is no virtue, there is no happiness. A man mr~y be rich, be may be supplierl with all the necessaries of life, he may be enjoying all the pleasures th:-~t fortuue cnn afford, yet, if he is not virtuous, he clors not find in his ~njoyments, true satisfaction. l-It)w many are there in the world who appear to be happy and yet who carry the heavie t crosses! T he rich mnn mny make friends, bnt not true fTiends for they usually forsnke him, whPn his riches dis11ppe.ar. LoYe of fortune h:1s been the cause of many an evil. Cities and coun­tries b:we been pillaged: nations have bee.11 slnughteren ; the most shnm<'fu l crimes have been committed-all this for the sake of fortune. Do Rome nnd Italy in nshcs mnke men honor Sylln? Do men admir e in Alex~

ander what they abb0r in Attila r Let 1ortune learn that virtue alone can make perfeet heroes, and that it adopts not the glory whieh arises from victories of in­justice. Fortune is a source of plensurc. But what is plensme? the worst enemy of the · sou l. Its voice is sweet but perfidious. Fortune has disadvantages, but, it a !so po~sesses ad vnntnges. There is a certain pleas me dcri vcd from it, arising from the consciousness that it is nse<l for honest pnrposcs.

Virtue is worth acquiring sinee it is a somce of hnp­piness. It is worth acquiring in order that if riches ever comP, they m:1.v be properly used. As in the clnys of spring the wise hnsbandmRn, in fertile furrows, scat­ters seNls whose germs, during winter form the trc.c'l.S­nrrs of snmmcr, ~o, he who distributes wisely from the abundance of his weRltb to the unfortunate, sows in pre­cious fielrls, seeds whose harvest blooms and ripens in Heaven.

COMPLI.i\lEl .T ·.

Compliments are r.be expres ion of civility, the bestowal of eomfnenrlntion or pr:~ise fnr merit of some degree or other. ~ometimt·s they are clr~crvl."rl. ancl trom certnin quarters. :nc plen:<iug to henr, :liHl also a timulns tu renewed effort in the rigllt direction. Often it co ·ts a good denl to get them. not infrequently, mo1·e thnn they arc wotth, and not a few men, in many c :kes, lJe. tow them to get a qw'd pro quo in return. In the latter cnse, as every one will conceive, they mnount to nothing. Prai::e me and I'll praise you, or, the mutunl nclmirntion society, is OllC without muC'II fitnnn:ud, ordinarily. of ,cnnty resource nmlno capi ­t.<tl worth con~itlering. Compliment,'\, like nlmost. every thing in this world, are relntive. They go n <·crt~in dist•mee and. heyonct C'crt.nin limits, to a mnn who know auyt:ting, hcc·om e, in;:Le d •J f fl Ltteri n;s, ofl'en­~ife. The fool will fleck and tnke praise on ;; II ::; ides fi1r wtlrttevl.'r he does. The leYel-hencled will me:1snrc his strength in advance of i :s cli~plny mlll Le sati>:fiet! . ('Yen with no nnn's "well done." to n:st in the good notion n~eomplished, <•r the worth.Y d~cd generously perfi11·med, whose sure an•l immedinte rewnrrl, ~nfficient in it elf~ his own con ciencc uc"tnws. Xor is thi::; pride, or if it be, it is that nllownhle pride nml ju~tificn ­

tion; spont..'lneous in the benrt, h:wmlcss within nne! without.

Compliments from the virtnous are n~ waters from pme f'O urccs. They enrich the lnncls through whi('h they tlow; whereas, tho~e from the viciou s, like strcnms from polluted founts , len.~e behind them tllll.Y the refuse gathere1l in their cour~. To work with no other object in view than to gain pmise from equals or superiors, is, tor the most pmt. pains thrown away. lf praise come from the fir~t, it may he nn implied hm·gain, or pcl'iwps, unnppreciated ; if fr()m the ::;ccond, r.-.·en when ad vi e1l, it may be untimely enough t0 Pl! fa:nt, or so grudgingly bestowPd as to discourage.

Complimcnt-11, like wine mu!'<t he qualified.. To~ new, or facile dictu, "too frcsll," they have no bouquet; too olci or age-cobwebect, they nn11 eate. prrhaps worse. And yet, complimenl.<l arc worth ~aving. nnd whet·e th<'

amenities of life are cultivated, worth effort. But ·there are stan<L'l.rds to direct and standards to d ir . Tv aim high in both ca es i e.:'Lch man's busiues . Obtain them or not, a ure guide iu life i' a conscience an­swering to right and truth. An infallible testimony to ecnre in gre.'lt and humble effort , more desirable,

A summPr snn h:1cl reached. its • zenith. l\Ien were kwing the busy streets, to cntch a short hour of repose. A Iloly ~[onk, in his stony C"ell. wn pmying to his God, :isking pardon for his fhults, 11sking strength to resist any future fhilings that might beset him, in his humble COill'::>e throngi:l thi vale of Death. ·while thus occupied, his cell wns suddenly illuminated with :~ .

supernatmal light. The cold clnmp walls sparkled, ns if they were set

with rubi e:> am! Llinmond'>. On looking around he beheld Onr Rle~sccl Lord, in ce1e.stinl garments am! clothed with :<pkndor and mnjc.sty. He appeareil , not as he did on the '• W ny of the Cross" or when he appeared to his npostles for the fil'st time after his resurrection. H e bore not the m:~rks of the scourge. Neither were his sacred hancl~ scnrred from the cruel na ils, nor his heavenly brow torn by the thomy crown. He now appeared a he die! when on this ea rth doing the will of his Father, by cnring the t~ick, mising the dead to life, and bring­ing forth nn idolatrous race, from the darkness of super­stition to the light of the True Faith. Can we imagine the joy of the holy monk, ns he gnect in wonder and adoration upon his Sa vi our? Why should He come from hen ven to he his guest?

To hi :.; nfltonishment he henrd the convent bell ring­! ng. It <.: llle cl him to the outer gnte to feed the poor nn<l distr<'ssect, who for years had come at an appointed honr tn partake or the lllOllks' lwspitnlity. He hesitated. lie dicl not wish to le:~ve his Lord illld l\Iaster, and therrby show his want of reYcrence. "Could not the hcgg~rs wait?" "\Vnit until the vi sion had departed? and if he went to the gate woulrl the vision await ilis retum? While thns pondering what to do, whether to remain with his Saviour or go to n~~ii't the poor, his conscience told him to le..'1ve tl.Je vi!'<ion nnd attend. to the wants of the needy. Tie quietly nrose to fulfil his mi~sion of mercy. .At the convent gntc the erowd stood waiting fin· their almoner. Whell he cmne their henrts grew bright, fbr his C'Ount('nance wns hcaming with nHusn:tl henuty.

the feast of a king. Secretly the monk was praying, praying for the poor and lonely, for the weak and the homeless, and within him a voice was saying "Whatso­ever thing thou doest. to the least of mine and lowest , that thou doest unto me."

While meditating on these words, thought be, had the vision come ns a beggar, poorly clad, would I have slighted or adored him ? With these thoughts in his mind he hurriedly retraced his steps to h,is cell. Looking towRrcls it, it appeared as bright a.-; if the mys of a thousand suns were there. Entering he finds the vision. A divine v oice blesses him for duty done. There he learned thongh he knew the t ruth before:

" Do thy duty; that is best Leave unto thy Lord the rest!"

satisti1ction is to be deplored. Tt penneates a ll c lnsses oi society and exhibits itself in Protean forms. It finds its way into the co unting-room, into offices, into pla ces of every cles0ription of bn-;iness, and perhaps as notice­ably as any pl::tce, it occaBionally •takes a nm' into onr colleges and nniversities.

It is an e_vcry day occurrence to see a student wencl­ing his wn.y tow:nds the pa ln ce of n.uthori ty with dis­satisfact!on plainly depict<:!<l upon his countenance. He is d issatisfied with some study for wh ich he has no in­clinatioD, or in some other way he has encountered an opposition post, and he seeks satisthction. Tl1is is nn ev il that, whilst being deplored , may be remedied.

'Ve are 11ever atisfied. No sooner does some pass­ing pleHsure srni le upon ns, than it vanishes, and is succeeded by bitter remorse nnd dissn.tisfilction. It is a chamcteristic of the people of to-dn.y, to be continu­ll.lly seeking for something new. new books, new styles, new luxur ies, and , now thn.t the joyous season of Enster approaches, we wi ll see one hundred and one different sty les in cnrds and bonnets. No sooner does a new book come from the publisher's t.'tble than it is engerly so ught for by countless numbers of readers. Often it has no other merit than a fin e cover ancl g ilt edges. lt matters litt le whether it uontains value or not. The very fact of it being new gives it a ready sale. The olll

pnper-covered and thumb-marked book, from which so much useful knowleclge and amusement have been deriv­ed, is cast nside, and in its place is substituted the new one, with no other quality perhaps than its .fine appear­p.nce. The same rule holds good in regard to styles. The moment a new sty le in any kind of goods appears, the ol<i is thrown aside, regardless of worth. ,_,. Ho\v ~few attend to t he lines of the poet: ' "Be not the first by whom the new is tried

Nor yet t he last, to lny the old aside." This spirit of·dissatisfhction then is certainly an evil. Surely, in th e mind of him who is nl wnys dissatisfied

and fault-finding, there lurks a deadly spiTit, a poison­ous arrow. From such a person, litt le that is grand or noble can ever be looked for. Try and be sntisfied. T1 y and be hn ppy and by so doing rend er others s::tt islierl and hnppy. ,J. M.

WHO WERE THEY?

Two little fellows engaged my attention the other morning. The amount of inrlnstry they di~playecl was amazing. They were in the College play-ground and fi·(rm their actions, I judged they had come to stay for the summer, or anyhow, till vacation time. They had no book:~ or ntchels, and as I had not seen them among the boys. I immediately concluded they were not dny scholars but two little strangers who cnme perhaps from beyond the village. I conk! not get near enough or T would have asked tlwir name". Jurleed. 1 dirl try two or three time- to come close to tliern, l•ut, tlwy t>e~ped as often as I arproachecl. 1 wa~ inlere,;Led however and watche<l an opportunity, amdous to know more about them. As I rcml.'mber them, the first t1ny I saw them, tlii.'.V ~poke in whi~pers; perhap11 it w::1s French: it may have been English, for :1ll I know, it mny h:we been German, but the lns t impre~iun I han, und I think J"m <:orrect, wns t.lw.t they were English. ~urcly they were of Engli~h stock. WIJ.Y the youngsters :::en mpercr\ off at my npprfJ:JCh, th ough I fonnd out nt1:erwan1~, I couh1 111.1 t im:1gine at the time; for , I came up to them gently m1<l puttiug on my hi.'. t smi lt', sought t•) win their con­firlenr:e. Bnt they wonlfl not he won over for any con­:-iderfttion. Thought T. now if tiH'se li Ltle t\·llows :1rc r~aJlr 1ww comers, they'll he ghcl to meet me, for 1 enn po:;:t thcn1 how to get along-. I ~<~lid to myst•lf, . i.lH'Y ::~rc

I m:ty be wrung. lJut perbnps, sOlnl.' oue who know~, will he:1 r me out.

I saw my little frienrls first under a big tree am1 th ey were holrling an animntecl conversation, like little people, whom one meets sometimes in this world, hut little pt'ople with a eertain importance and feeling their responi'ibility, who are bo11ncl to go 11 he.•ul and cnrve their way in life. As I r1rew nearer, I c'wght sight of their <Ires::.. They hnd on little gray etmt-s, were clad pretty much alike, with light Urown e:~p:<, at lea"~t, t!Jey looked so to me; hut what 1 wondered at, th0ugh the we:.1ther ·wns 110t cold nor yet warm, wns, that the pnir wn barefoot. ~aid I to myself; what cn n this mean?

them believe I was au old friend, I ventured to say, ''well! my little lads, yon here, how do you do?" They hurrierll.v looked at each other, puckered up their months, muttered some thing that seemed to me, '"Ve don't know you, mind your own bu iness" m1d before I had recoveree! composure, travelled over to Father Beaudoin's Chnrch. Feeling somewhat disconcerted, I almost resolved to let these saucy little chaps look ont for themselves and find out whethl.'r they could afford to dispense with my introduction to the f.'lcnlty of the College. Bnt on econn thought I followerl them.

They were on the stone lnnding right up at the church noor, conversing nll the while, but it seemed to me they knew where they were, ann tl.l.at the place w:1s not unf.1miliar. Thl.'_r moved nhont the ebnreh m1d whnt f parti \.: lll:lrJy 110ticcfl W !l.;l 1 Wb:lt ll "kind fet'Jing exi~te ' l between them. They renlly seemed to be looking after e:tch other's wants all the time. Thought I to myself, if you two are not of the orthodox faith, you're .in the ne ighborhood of where it comes !Tom and that too, in the ri chest possible profusion. l\-fay be you two friend.<, little as you may seem, have a long jom­ney in life before you, and you tl1ink it's well to begin right nnd cu ltivate kindness and sympathy; or m:1y be, yon·ve heen bad friends, ns boy will be at times :tm1 big boys too, ann as christians ought yon 're trying to make up. \Yell : T thought a thousand things too numerous to mention. But I kept my friends in view. ~uch nn i!l(lnstrions pair the~· seemed; so bent on busi­n~s; tlleir cnnver;.nt ion-~ ll I con ld hc11.r of it seemed just fur cnch other all(1 I'm sure they only had their own alf<1 irs and the concerns of no one else, in view. Said I, this is as it ought to he and I ' ll rctum to my de,~k and let the two workPrs ~cek me out nt their leisure. Just then, Father ncnu rloin came in sight. "Hello: fine morn­ing?" Yesl I rcplietl and l'~·e been watching a pnir of yonng~ters fur the lnst ltnl f hom. " \Yhat? Those two little sparrO\Ys: \Y(•ll: yo u'llnever c:1teh them napping .

The matter of the '•Record" is abo•1t as ponderous nnd l:tborerl n" usual, more of a Yaricty sl10uld l1e intrmluec(l. "The Secret of Success" is a good essay.

The " llamiltnn College Monthly'' is more truly a College .lournnl than any that enter~ our sanctum. It alwa.ys eont::~ins a number of e.«snys on various sub­jects-and a elo~e g lance at them, nt all times con­vinces us that, the pupils alone wri tc them.

The •·Cnrson In(kx" is more sprightly than usual. Arthur Dill' ~ lrtter;; nn: being continlH•(I. \ ..

34 ST. VIATEUl{'S COLLEGE .JOUHNAL.

The "College Message'' is about the same as usual. Such lengthy papers as the "French Revolution'' would be more fitting for the columns of a Magazine.

Of the "Ch!.tddock" we cannot say any thing praise­worthy. The matter in its columns is too local to suit our taste.

The "Aclelphian" is foremost among our exchanges in artistic make-np ancl vari~ty of composition. Its selections are very good, never despising a little scatter­ing of wit and humor.

The "Normal Monitor" of J ennessee is a very un­pretentious pamphlet- yet contnins some very good e&says. "Byron'' in tpe last issue was a commendable paper, in which the :tntbor shows himself to have no smn U share of information concerning the R eal Chi/de Harold, ar.cl hi s extraordinary hab ili ty.

The " Georgetown .Joni·nal" is ns usual up to the standard of 01Uer1e Jo'Unw.lism. The numbe r for l\1Hrch contains a very sound and reasonable article l1i scussing the merits and demerits of the retention of the classics in om school~ .

The author eeems to incline towards the views of Mr. Adams who some t ime ngo st irred up this qu es­tion, now so much agitated.

The "St. Mary' Sentinel" comes to hand as fresh nnd ns sprightly ns usual. The lnst issne con tnined a good pnpe1'-"The Spain of to-day."

The l:lst number of the " Philomathenn Review" is more suitable to onr taste than many of its precl ecessors. A very tasty , choice, entertaining and instructive es-ny wns a short biography of the httely deceased Thomas Kinsella Ed. of the "Brooklyn Eagle," one of America's foremost journa li sts, :md a man who did honor to the "Ishncl'' tint gwe him birth.
