VIOLETS.

Meet tribute, Blest mother, I bring, Thine altar of May to adorn; Since Flowers have voices to sing, I'll give them atnight and at morn. Bnt flowers and songs cannot last, Their beauty dies out with the day; White lilie·s, red roses fade thst, Too fhst to weave chaplet of May.

II

These liLtle mountain gems I bought, Are symbols, Virgin mild, of thee; Their deep blue eyes concealing thought, Til is pray'r repeat, "I-tem ember me." The sun and rain that saw them bloom, Foretold their native modest worth: As thine, of old, in Naznreth's Room, Archangel voic'd to hosts of earth.

III

Oft gi fts are blest from scanty store, The widow's was who gave her mite; 1So man gives love, God asks no more, For love wins grace in Heaven's sight. Take then, these blue violets I bring, Thine altar of May to adorn; With humble voice tlley sweetly sing, Magnificat from night till morn.

ACCURATE STATEMENT.

If speech were less common and utterance defined by certain periods of time, possibly the rank and file of human kind, might employ both more judiciously. · Speech confined to certain classes and occasions

would attract discriminating audiences, in which case great and wholesome truths might perhaps underlie the generality of human statements. But speech; like water, in distribution, is general and promiscuous. Abundance increases with the population. Speech too, like water it easily disturbed. Foul conveyance will vitiate the one and the other. More than this. What men find it impossible to do with water, viz. make it run above its source-they easily_ do with speech-they run it counter to its natural fount, truth, accuracy. And this, a hundred ways a hundred times l\ day, from no apparent motive, with little scruple, sometimes from sheer force of habit and generally speaking, with more or less fatal results.

Inaccuracy in speech or statement, arises from many causes. Be it remarked, we are not emphasizing that inaccuracy ~hich is, so to speak, downright lying, or, that wholesale perversion of truth which springs fi:om distorted knowledge and malice aforethought. The inaccuracy here referred, to has exaggeration for ~tatting point and base of supply, wrong impression of of truth either in itself or, its influence on others; misconceived notions of one's own importance and the relative insignificance or overpowering greatness 0f one's fellow men. This kind of inaccuracy is common in our country and it is the logical result of that system which permits all kind of people to read all kinds of literature, and talk on all sorts of topics. It is the logical result of a system which borrows deep inspiration from hearsay and superficial teache1·s. Naturally it induces men of little minds, with perver­ted or half digested knowleclg~, to become vehicles for spreading whnt, by a wild name, in our day, is called inaccurate statement, but, what in our fm·efathers' time, would have been called, falsehood. Inaccurate state­ments invade all professions without exception. From the pious, half-read, mountebank who, from his pulpit imposes both himself and his preaching on the simple faith of a too confiding congregation to the designing shyster who takes your sltekels tor justice-sake; from the oily tongued pill pound~r who doctors your best ti·iend as he would his mother in law, to.. ·· impecuni-ous calculating,scribblet· who reviles:. .. · name and character .for pelf in his immoral all

through the range-down to the tradesman whQ cl epre- ' cates any Jaw against oleomftrgn.rinc, inn.ccurate state­ments hold sway ar.d theit· far-reaching influence for evil is measured Ly the amount of importance their cxpondcnts invoke an d the proverbial gullability of the American public. Careful attention to every day life will co11vmce the most skeptical thftt what we state in t.his instance is acc11rate. How bold socv·er the statement may appear, yet, ;t is trne nnd the fi,rst weak-kneed brother who rises to explain fui· his cbss, thel:eby proves that something is radieally inacc'urate in his organism. In this case, silence would be a master stroke of eloquence and the sooner he remembers that "Q.ui se excnsat se aceusat," the better.

In::tecurate statement is a subject demanding perhaps more space than the col urns of a college journal atrord and consequently its treatment can only be literal and suggestive. Indeed, if this OJ' any other kind of journal­ism succeed to-dny in being suggestive, it attains the first degree of merit for such of the thinking pttblic as do not desire, and will not be imposed on by, platitu­des. Long wincledness may be a good quality in a race horse, b ut, like inaccurate statement, it is . equally out of pl9ce in a newspaper and a pulpit. Confining oursel­ves therefore to suggestion from respect fOT the intel­ligence of the Journal' s readers, we leave to their consideration the remarks made with regard to inaccu­rate statement.

We might in conformity with our view of the subject have classified und er this head the supporters of the "Bupp?·essio veri" also, such kirl gloved profess ional gentlemen as see a . difference "by a large majority" between well dressed illiterate, rich people, and respec­tably poor, educat ed , but unfortunately, very poo1· people. But enough said to illustrate this thc t that truth is a jewel of rare price and deserves bei11g set in every man's life. Some men's lives are a lie from beginning to end. They !mow it. If they do not, the l>adge of folly they wear, which the world discovers, in threadbare cloak for their pretensions. But we stvp. Too much truth, like too bright jewel, is apt to blind weak eyes. The moral for college men, for all men to learn is, to be honest , truthful and natural ; to stand on God's scales and weighing themselves and what they clo, by His justice, defy whilst cl esp isin£, r.hc doul>le dealer and the hypocrite who, will one day learn t.hat not inaccuracy, but, "Veritas et Justitia Domini ma­nent in .:eternum."

~·-SIC ITUR AD ASTRA.

An American Citi zen in the broncl cst and best sense

of the word went to his reward, when Chades O'Connor breathed his last. From ·no common clay did life go out here. A Vi1·, according to the nobles Roman (lesignation, died and his last "words, "My God," were a fitting fin·ewell to this and a becoming salutation to that other life upon which he was entering . Cros ing the threshold of a ·new comt with the well told b1'iPf of a worthy life wherein l!e ' had written ·"duty," what better passport did the stranger advocate -Beed at the a.Lig ust tribunoJ before which his first and last plea w11s cr.llecl than the acknowledgm~nt. of hi s liie's supreme fnitb, "My God.''

The press of the country has sufficiently covered for the present, the story of the grea t lawer's life. With tim e, no doubt, something more lasting and becoming thrm a ne wspaper tribute will find its way into Lhe h::mds of the public, and especially, it is hoped, ~nto the hnncl s of youth, to determine in the minds of old and young that, our country has another repro::sen tati ve enrolled among the irnmortals, t hat our country too shilll li ve, if the e.xftmple of snch men as Charles O'Connor, be made a standard of imitation by the rising generiltion.

The deceased was a man in the nol>lest acceptation of the term. As a lad, innured to poverty, perfo rming the hu mble duti es of c::trrier fvr his father's mo­dest publication, there WflS a willingness, a em1dvr, n · diligence and a da -<h expre~sive of America l minrl a1 cl · Americftn heart, whieh even then, stam·ped him to those who knew him best, with more thftn onlinary ripeness anrl sagacity. The fair promises of youth developed with his manJ,ood, nntil at twenty five, he already stoocl confessed at the bar of New York, nn eminent young lawyer. Wh:1t dreams of ambition a.ncl future greatness swelled the bre11st of thi s young attorney, more t han fifty years 9go, no one perhnps will ever tell. That he h:.tli su<'l1 dre.ams no one may doubt, who kno~n anything of American character , especially , if it has been monlde .l from Celt ic stock and embalmed in the li berty -inspir ing atmosphere of this new world. But if Charles O'C~nnor's aims were ·high, hi s methods were just , his motives pnre. What his id eal wns, no man may have contemplated, but death . . , at last, whJCh reveals ftt once much nnd little, frames his · own life the veriest reality, the gninea stamp of nature's noblemnn. J\'[any men may wear a crown of years as did he who, bnt a week ago, r ested fi·om the burthcn of four score, yet, how few may look through the dim p:tssage beginning for most of us at ten and well nigh complete at half this P atriarch's y ield , who 111ft}' not discover, if they will, sad breaches in the walls of life, rents that might not have been, wide gaps where selfishness and gTeerl and meanness have entered, and en ter ing, destroyed the rich harvests

whi_ch might have ripened for our own, for our country's good. The dead Advocate, whom the city of New York mourns ·in common with the country he loved, could look ba~k · with r!J,re satisfaction to all his years of se.rvice. He could count them one by one and as each

·year or decade of years passed in review, and like the well read pages ·of a goodly volume .were turned down forever, he could affix the golden seal of approval, for they had been prefaced in honesty, bound in rectittule, completed in justice, and his country men, in anticipa­tion, let us trust, of "My God," stood ready to pronoun­ce the judgment, "Well done, good and faithful servant:'

Charles O'Connor'•s fame as a lawyer belongs not to a single .city or state, but, to the whole country. The recQrd of his practice was as open as the· day. Integrity marked his footsteps in the courts of men, because he recognized it a chief purchaser of mercy , in that day, when defendant defenceless, man must stand before the Supreme Arbiter of life and death. Though a lawyer :md jurist of the first rank, yet he never forgot that, mercy was a fitting ingredient wherewith the severest i'entence might be tempered, whereby the rudest punishment imposed by legal code might be modeled upon th~t divine tribunal which seeks rather the life than 1 he death of the creature. He knew the frailties of men, bnt, despising the littleness of human judg­ment~, be knew also, that when Heaven ·forgave, judge r. nd client st\>Od on a level, and repentance became me­dici ne f<•r both in view of infinite purity. His industry his persevenmce, his unswerving regard for principle made him what he was and crowned him as noble a type of man, a~ worthy a representative American, as this generation has seen. His charity, his simple, unos­tentatious life, his patriotism, combined to make him a model for the best in the Republic. No sentiment of de­fiance of the wise Creator and His laws rose in his heart or ingersolled with blat'phemy his lips, to the scandal of age, to the peril of youth; but in gentle submission to divine truth he lived, a christian, a scholar, a gentleman. So he died. Was his life in all things faultless ? His nature was not angelic but human. He had little guile. he deserves small blame. The best that may be saiu of him, enough for human praise, is: "Go thou and do likewise." Sic itur ad astra.

KankakP.e's knights knocked. Oh S\mdav afternoon "the 14th. inst. the .Kankakee base ball club -crossed bats with a picked nine of the college, and were defeated by a sc<)re of 21 to s. The first part of the game was very exiting not a man crossing the hoine plat.e till the· 5th. inning. From thim the game was a w1\lk away for,the boys the visitors out-field was somewhat weak. and they were poor at the bar, Alpine played "short" very well picking-several "hot grounders" throwing men out at first. Sulltvan and Young both caught well , and old timers smiled k_nowingly wh!!n they saw Conway an<t,McGavick tJ\ke their old st,u1ds .

ON THE QUESTION of the classics we have been favored with a few letters from some of our senior students. Opinions are surely allowable in students and we publish them, persuaded they will stand or fhll on their merits. In our next issue another batch will furnish variety on the same subject.

MR. EDITOR: A knowledge of the classics contributes to impart keenness of perception and sound judgment and also helps largely in almost everything concerning solid education. Abolish the study and we must seek in translations for the first knowledge concerning the monuments of antiquity. Theological. philosophical and historical truths of great importance come by way of Greece and Rvme. Would it be well to trust to other than the original text for such knowledge. For my part I say, keep Latin and Greek but make them thor~ ough. Cla8sic.

Mit. EDITOR: If the American student who sriends si:xi or seven y ears, in acquiring a superficial know.ledge of Latin and Greek would turn his thoughts t~ English Litera ture, study Milton, Shakespeare, Pope, Dryden and our best prose writers he would find himself far more benefited, and his ltnowledge of English would be · far more complete. Do away with Latin and Greek. Let us have the language which we can use in every day life, let the arts and sciences be more of a specialty, and our Educational system, will be in 30 . years the most profitable heretofore known in the a11nls of American history.

Positive.

Mu. EDITOR: Whether Latin and Greek . should be retained or not in colleges and universities is a ques­tion highly debatable, for and against which many good reasons may be advanced .

At the present day, any one who has· not a knowled­ge of the classics is not considered educated. He is called trained if he has studierl the sciences, but if he has not read Livy·, Tacitus, Cicero, Virgil , X enopl1Qn and Homer his knowledge is said to be limited. To uphold this it is claimed that the classics are sources of much knowledge from which great writers h:1 ve continually been drawing: for in no place have crt and literature flourished more than in Rome an'l Greece ; and even to-day is it not to these same places that those who wish to attain any perfection in the arts and sciences go to complete their studies?

By translating. the elassics we have abundant means Of training our minds; it is through them that we become acquainted with the hi storical events of ancient times; it is through them that we can form an opinion of the masterpieces of art and literature which Greece ami Rome have presented to the world; it is through them also an? only through tlilem that we are able to attain an almost perfect mastery of the English language, for more than a third of its vocabulary i~ of Greek and Latin origin. Such then are the advantages deriv ed from the study of the classics.

But notwithstanding this, there are many who are strongly opposed to their retention in colleges. Could we not, say they , employ our time on matters of more importance? After we have spent seven or eight years in the study of the chssics, of what benefit are they to us? They help to train the mind "it is true" but would we not derive as great a mental training from the study of the various sciences such as mathematics and astron­omy as from that of the classics? Perhaps. Again some maintain that the Latin and Greek languages give a good idea of the ancients and that they are sources Of

great knowledge. This is so, and I would also admit that the literary world would suffer a great lo by their' .abolition had not all the most important works of Greek and Latin authors already been translated into onr _own modern language . It is of no use to spenrl time in translating the cia sics for we would de­rive more advantage from their beaut.y in the langua­ges into which they have been trano;ln.ted and which we ·already nnde1 tand. But by thi , I do not mean that the ·classics ~hould be entirely abolished. We should knovv them enough to an wer the purpose~ of our situa­tion and profes ion. But we hould not make tllem our principal stndies, for they are dead languages and con­sequently of not much practical use to us. Let us rather apply ourselves to master those languages which are spoken at the present. day, such as the English, the German, the French and others,-language which we can learn in a much shorter time than the cla sics and from which we derive more, or at least, as many advan­tages. Let us devote ourselves to the study of the v.~riou branches of the ciences. the arts, and literature, n.nd surely at the end we will be as well off, or rather better off, than if we had waste·d years in the translation of Greek .and La.tin authors.

LITERARY AND OTHER NOTES.

"ClliNESE GORDO:l<' ."

Geneml Gordon, mainly tbrongh tile bnnglil'g policy of the British goverment, is having his name published in a far mo:te effective manner than it can Le by a.ny nntbor or by any publisher. It i:; natural, however, that the public should be anxious to get hold of the leaclino- facts of his life. There a.re two a,uthoritivc

"' works on General Gordon's care<'r-Dr. Andrew \Vilson's "Ever Victorious Army" and Mr. Berbeck Hill's ''Colonel norr1ou in Central Africa." In a.11dition there is a volume by Egmont Hake, and the volume before us is hy Archibald F orbes. The two latter volumes arc in the main digests of the two former. This li ttle volume b.v Forbe, who is evidently a warm a,dmirer of Gordon, treats of Gordon's career in a very full an d satisfactory nanner, and the facts, while agreeably prr_sentcd, are compressed into a small spa.ce.(t;. W. Green"s ~on.)

. "THE CALUMET OF COTEAU."

:Mr. P. ·w. Norris, whose mune is nnf.'imilia.r to the readers of poetry, has made a collection of llis pieces :mel pn blished them in book form and named his vol­mne atler the first and principal piece. Some of the poem reveal vigor as well as fiteility in versiikation, and in eYcry page of the volume you feel that you [Ire in the hand of a man who thinks n.nd feels and acts like a strong son of the West. :M:UJy of the poems were

written while :Mr. Konis was uperintendent of the Yellow tone ~atioual Park, a poRt which tJ1e author held for five years. It is a characteristic volume, and it will no doubt find admirers. (J. B. Lippincott.)

'EMERSO <" "Ralph Walde Emerson" was the subject of a paper

r ead beiore the New York Genealogical and Biopraph­icnl Society, December 14, 18 3, by William Hague, D· D. Dr. Hague, it seems, was ru1 e..'lrly and intimate friend of the sage of Concord. The lecture is publi bed at the reqneet of the ociety. It sheds some light on Emer on' mental history. In what he calls ".After­thoughts" Dr. Hague takes l\Iatthew .Arnold• to task for some of his utterances regarding Emerson. vVe doubt not, however, that the English critic will be quite able to vindicate himself and his judgments.

"BOATING TRIPS &c."

It has been the habit of l\Ir. H enry Parker Fellows for orne years to make boating excursions- inland voyages as he calls them-on New England rivers. The c have been in a high sen e plea urable excmsions; ~mel a 1\fr. Fellows is at once ,a keen observer and a cleYer writer they have been made the ubject on more than one occasion of newspaper articles. These articles, be hns now collected, and ha'.Ung added to them some fresh matter he has made quite an elegant little volume. The book is made more useful and instructive by maps and illustrations. The rivers described are mainly the Sudbury, Concord and l\ferrimac, the Housatonic and the Nashua. . Mr. Fellows would have added to the valne of his book if lle had scattered over his -pages a li ttle more of the golddust of hi torical reminiscence. These New England rivers ought not to be unsugges­tive. (Cnppies, Upham & Co.) N. Y. Herald.
