The following ballad written \>y th'e gifted "Father Prout" c01nmemorates the glorious victory gained by the Christian Powers pv er the Tnrks in t he battle @f L epanto. The defeat of the Infidels is a ttl'ibuted t o the prayer of the Rosary, the public recit~tion of which has been ordered by the holy · Father dm·ing this mont h to avel't evils not 'less in a spiritna~ sense than t lwsc of the sixteenth century.

Let us sing how the boast of the Saracen host . In the Gulf of Lepantv we scn,tter ecl,

When each Knight o f St. J ohn from his cannon of bronze,

With grape-shot their argos ies batter 'cl. Oh l we taught the Turks then, that of E urope the

men C0uld defy every Infidel menace-

And that stiH o'er · the main float the gnlleys of Spain ,

And the reel-lion stanc1arcl of Venice. Quick we made the foe skulk, as vve blazed nt ca<..:L

hulk , .while they left us a sp linter to fire at ;

And the rest of them fl ed o'er the wat ers blooc1-red vVith the gore o f the Ottoman Pirat e ;

And our navy gav e chase t o the l1i fi del Race, Nor allowed them n, moment to rally ;

And we forced them at leng th to ackno wledge o m strength,

In the trench, in the fi eld , in the galley.

Then our men gave a shout., and the ocean through­out,

Hea1'd of Christendom's triumph with rap tu re· G al1iottes, eighty-nine, of the enemy's line;

To our swift~sailing ships fell a capture; An,d I firmly maint~in that the number of slain,

To at least forty tho,usand amonntecl ; To be sure ' twas sad work, if the life of a Turk

For a moment were worth being counted.

We may well feel elat e, though I'm sorry to state, That, albeit by the myri~d we'v e slain' em;

:Still, the sons ot the Cross have t o weep for the loss ()f si:x thGusancl who fell by the Paynirn.

124 ST. VIATEUR'S COLLEGE JOURNAL.

But in reality is this the case ? To answer this question it is necessary to examine the mental food with which our youths gorge themselves and then we shall be ahle to judge of the knowledge arid culture of young America

Knowledge is built upon tacts; culture upon thoughts. What we acquire is knowledge what we develop is culture. With this idea of knowledge and -, culture before our minds let us ask what forms the bulk of the reading matter of the rising generation? It is the sensational novel the story paper and other such trash. This indiscriminate reading is an alarming fe.ature in Am erican life, when we consider •the tone of these novels and papers .• Judging by them, divorces, elope­ments, intdgues and other crimes against society, are but the normal attendants of modern life. The reading of this trash is fast sapping the morals of community. While Scott, Hawthorne and Cooper are neglected this vile stuff is read. Only high seasoned tales suit the public taste. Mysterious murders, rash marriages, run away matches, terrible· set;ret~, awful mysteries and hidden perils of the most improbable kind, go to make up the readable novel. Scenes are described, circumstances are mentioned, conversations retailed and vicef; in­troduced in these stories, which would cause any man to be banished from decent society were he to allude to th,em.

Yet such are read by the young. Once fami.Jiar . with crime of every sort and degree, through the florid descriptions of the novel, our young men and women become mentally debased, an insidious poison is infused in them which corrupts the imagination. Their thoughts unbidden stray to matters, 9f which they h:tve lately

. read, a dangerous curiosity is excited anrl from constant reflection, they begin to lose that horror tor crime which is one of the safe-guards of virtue. The mind once rlisturbed, the imagination led astray every defaulter or swindler, if he be a criminal on a .large seale, is apt to ' appear to them as a smart fellow; the di.sloyal wife and fhithless husbanrl, more sinned against sinning.

It has often been asked, why is it that thi s age is so superficial, so different from the common sense and os­lidity of the past? The answer is simple. It is due to the vile flashy, vulgar literature of the pres1mt. Reading for mere pleasure is substituted for solid reading ; excitement for thought. What alcohol is to the body, sensationallitera.­tme IS to the mind. Habitual indulgence i;1 such reading may be term ed dissipation, not read ing for improvement. Students shoul<l remember this. Much of their snccess at college depends on their memory and on profitable l'eading which is but tbe power ·ot stndy ; of mastering principles and details. But the memory is weakened and the power of study lost hy continual reading of novels and sensational papers.

What knowledge or what culture can be expected from such reading? Knowledge indeed of the most perui-

. cious kind, cnlture which would fit .a person to become a boon companion of the dregs of society. 'rhis is not exaggeration for every day's experience confi.rms the tiwt .. Listen to the conversation of devotees of this literature

· Dress and scandal from the staple of small talk among girls; raillery, foul jokes, 'showing theii: CO II tempt of

. authori ty, th'at ~t ·'boys. Do · yon wish a ftu'ther proof? T ake the police reports. In New York city

• alone in six months of last year there were fonr hundred · and twenty six yo ung cri,uinals arrested and ot this number fifteen were held fo r murder. In the majority ~) f

cases, bad literatu re had started these young per ons on theil1 career of crime. -----

We do not condemn all novel read ing, but indiscri­minate novel reading ancl especially the reading of sensational novels. There are many nov els that may be read without detriment to morals; but nnf(n·­tunately these are considered flat by the mnjority or modern readers. Fiction should not be banished, but purified; for it can be made t!:.e channel of tl'llth llllrl

imtruction. We acquire a better idea of the charaeter of Richard Camr de Lion from I~anhoe, and of the cou;·t or. Elizabetl~ ti·om Kenilworth than from Hume. Dil'kei :s wrote his novels to show the injustice done to 'the poor. Thackery wrote, to expose the shams of English soeicty.

Let fiction then remain .lmt purity it and make it t,l~ channel of knowledge and culture. Materin.ls are JH>t -i wanting for there is a magni11cent fie ld. Our govenncnC, )

' _,_ ;

ST. VIATEUR'S COLLEGE .JOUHNAL. 125

life's stern realities liad swept away many of the olu familiar landmarks that formerly served to guide my you~hful ~teps, enough remained tO recall quite distinctly the bright and sunny p::.st when all was as

, , merry as a marriage bell. The shattered structure was ~till standing on the banks ofthe creeping sedgy stream th~ qld rocks On the brown hill side were still visible; while the weath~r beaten mill on the opposite shore, though. lone and desolate was yet recHning over the , craggy brows of the venerable river. I looked to the N.orth, to the South, to the East, to the West, to meet a frl~nclly face; to find some one who might inform me of the ravages of time aroand the home of my boyhood since my many years of absence. I st101led .about the surn;>unding meadows, I visited the white-capped grave­yard on the green hill-side down the shadowed lane, but ftom no one and in no place conld· I find any sojourner to unfold to me the cause of the desolation recognizable all around, all was sad-all was silent. The sounds of boyhood revelry had long since died out-the merry patties had long ~ince been broken-comrades had long since been turn asunder-father and mother had passed away-"gone" was written on the once j•>yous surroundings-"gone and gone forever". My sonow knew no bounds-yet I lingered, yet I tarried amid the scenes of~arlier years communing with myself about the dear departed. The dear old schoolmaster who taught me my alphabet and who so often pulled my ears, where was he? Where was that smiling face. that greeted t~e children ot the village on their arrival a cold, frosty morning? Where was that tenderhearted old man whose greatest joy was to partake in our inno­cent recreations, onr juvenile sports? Had that fond heart also ceased to 'beat? Alas! it had I knowingly concluded-"gone'' I uttered, as a tear fell upon the hallowed ground upon which I once so nimbly capered in the golden rainbowed past. Whilst pondering upon the perishableness ot all hum'Bn things, methought there came to my ears the sound of the ofd bell slowly sw!nging to and fro from the weather-beaten cupola calling .us to recitation. I was startled. I felt a thrill of joy then a pang of pain pass over me. However I cast aSide ·my melancholy thoug)lts and f01;ebadings and wandered up to the threshold ofthe school-stood before it, hat in hand as if to reverence one of the departed, I peeped in through the old shattered shutters, searching for some indication of life, castjng an eye towards the dustcovered, · elevated desk, towards my old seat, .towards the few pious pictures that adorned the rude walis-but in no place could I find evidence of any thing save long abandonment, total neglect, total forgetfulness, a fading monument of boyhood's happy hours, slowly but surely crumbling to the ground. The plaster had entirely fallen down-large chinks in the ·

walls were letting in the last rays of a beautiful summer evening's sun-the old door swung to and fro upon creaking rusty hinges, the ·soot-covered chimney was perceptibly falling-while the aged, cracked stove which sci often contained a cheerful, blazing, ghdsome fire to make the young heart rejoice, was as brown as the autumn leaves. Whilst gazing upon these scenes, filled with loneliness, filled with a certain despair in being tinknown in now ali almost unknown land, with no one nigh to impart to me any information concerning the past and the·inumerable changes a few decades of years had wrought, the sound of a heavy wagon was heard on the old drawbridge that crossed the stream by the mill, I hastened to the street across the green sward-! accosted the stranger who was a big burly fellow of some forty summers enquiring of him in anxious tone, if any of the old boys of long ago were yet in the neighbor­

. hood. I did not have to wait long for a reply. He gazed at my face-he scanned my features, he grasped my hand he almost kissed me-it was old Tom Brown~my former classmate,-he knew me. To say what plea5ures were the result of such a meeting would be an impossi­bility. The past- the good old days of schoolboy life were called back-and each fond incident was passed over in revie>Y between us-whether in relating some humorous anecdote that produced unbounded laughter or in sadly commenting upon some fair-haired, · Tosy

·cheeked boy, upon whom misfortune had fallen_;_or whose departure from terestrial things had left a vacant chair. Youthful days, what a charm, they possess especially when the brilliancy of their sunlight is already fading before the darkness of the long d_reary wintry nights of old age! Boy hood hours what countless pleas­ures they contain, when the young life is th1·obbing with the warmth of its earliest pulsations, when the young flower is bE1ginning t.o bud out and blossom into the ma­turity of manhood't~ spring! And on this occasion none could better appreciate these .truths than ourselves-truths which all men, no matter in what condition of life, would once more gladly !-"ealize, were it permitted. For ~t may be said that the life of all is divided into two w~shes-the desire to be a man, and the second desire · to be once more a boy to enjoy the pure air-the con­sciousness of innocence-to roam at will as happy and ~ontented as the forest songsters flitting about from tree to tree. With fond affection would we all retain the perpetual springtime of a youth, and the world's wealth, which so many esteem in preference to their immortal soul should be gladly abandoned to cdntinually possess vital forces that bestow health, vigor and energy to the barefooted, ragcovered boy who dances in merri­ment over the crowded streets of our large cities. But alas! as friend Brown expressed it-we only possess one boy hood-one manhood-old age follows and like

They carried the mind bilck to the dawn of existence and down to the eclipse of life-and while weighing with the scales of impartiality the joys, the sor­rvw~ , the t e:J rs, the plen sure~, the gladness, the pilins of l1oth periorls, both of us with one voice-yet breath­ing the fervid hem·tine~s of boyhood exclaimed with one accord "Come back brights clays come back! I lingered :tronnd the old town a few clays strolHng amid the silent witnesses of the merry pnst obtaining from time to time some iurther informatior, about some missing one fond nnd true: but the supreme sadness and silence that dwdt nll m·ound compelled me to shorten my intended visit. I bade fri end Brown an affectionate good_

, bye pron1ising some dny to w:mder bnck :>gain. He wished me a hearty God-speed to the Prflirie State and I could not refrain from · r epeating-whilst casting one fon(llong linger"ing look behind towards the old school now shining beneath the rays of an autumnal sun-

THE NINETEENTH CENTURY.

To a mind cnpable of reflecting s~riously on the history of the nineteenth cent m y, many subjects are offered as food for meditation. But fi·om whate.ver stand­point it may be viewed , whether scientific, literary, or artistic, the question naturally :J rises : Have we im­proved on the olden times?

That we have made wonderful ad vancement in science, there can be no shadow of doubt, but whether the spirit of this nd van cement has been beneficial or injurious to the hu_man mind is quite another question. In reacting the lives nnd in stu(lying the characters of

our cont~mporary savants, one is astonished to find that they ai·e men of little or no religious convictions; men, seemingly so wrapt up in their scientific specialties as to have lost sight of the First Great Cause and in striving to supply his place, wandering . through mazes of the most ridiculous philosophy. Huxley, Spencer and a host of others are undoubtedly men of brilliant tal(imt, but they are , as apparently ignorant of the eternal truths as the babe unborn. Tbe,re is somethi]1g · wrong in this ; what that sOJ:p.ething may be is beyond vur knowledge to ascertain. Truth, whether revealed or acquired by reason, is eternally one. Why, then, should the scientific knowledge of our advanced thinkers clash with the truths ot revelation? The con­clusion. forces itselfthat their deductions are based on false principles-and on such a foundation they can never build. a temple to replace the chureh of Gorl. Mankind is in possession of the eternal truths and, until our parvenu free thinkers c:Jn perform the impos­sible task of falsifying them the will tenaciously clings to that possession. This is one phase ofthe ninteenth century progress.

In Literature, our pretentious are as utterly ground­less. Lord Byron and_ Lord Tennyson are admittedly the . master poets of this century. The genius of the former is universally admired; the inimitable graces of his sty le are the pride of literary connoisseurs. But were not the w'orld better, had Loi·d Byr~h - n~ver\ived? J,ite~atme is a means, LOt an enrl. What useful obj~et Byron attnin­ed by his writing, critics have failed to perceive. Tlte character of the man exerts a powerful influence over the works of the writer, and the char~ter of Lord Byron was certainly not a n admirable one. While ranging delightfully over one of the lovely scenes of his creation, enjoying the cool ocean breeze beneath his own Italian moon , we fear the envenomed hiss ot his snakelike cynicism and recoil in horror from the lurking dangers of his enchanting, yet satanioal, paradise.

Nor does Lord Tennyson merit the literary dis­tinction that his friends would claim tor him. Brilliant as he is amid the lesser lights. that shine around him, his brightness pales before those suns of Literature who shone in former ages. He is yet living and of few living poets can it be said that they received their jnst meed from their contemporaneous critics. Compare him witli Shakespeare, Milton or Spencer and then judge as y out· good sense dictates.

What has been said of our poets may, with equal trut}l, be said of our prose writers. Their works are now, in the full bloom of y outh, but the chill frosts of age will nip their smiling buds. In the grave of the past lie buried works tha.t in their day were locked tipon as produets of giant-minds. So will our writings be judged by an imparti al posterity .

It is in art, however, that our poverty most openly displays -itself The days of Da Vinci and Murillo are g-onej never to return, until the changes of time have fortned a better generation of men. Governments may .encourage, generous patrons may lavish wealth but nothing strikingly original in art Cl:Ul be produced. The reason is sofflciently obvious. A true artist cannot labor

, without 11: worthy' aim. To acquire wealth and promi­nence in SOciety, to see the result of years Of patient ap­plication exhibited to the passing glance of a hurrying crowd are motives not suflioi~ntly elevated to awake that. ambition neeessary to the production ot a great arkreation.

In the Catholic times the grand old maste~ lived to see their works embellish the almost supernatural beauty of the Gothic cathedral It was the height of their ambition to produce something that would raise a struggling soul to the contemplation of higher things; their labor was a labor of love and nobly did they perform it. This was a motive worthy the noblest intellect and this was the motive that gave the world an Angelo and a Raphrel.

. In the fac~ of such considerations can we call our century an age of progress in that which is good or admirable?

Dear Father Marsile, I cannot refuse your very kind request to furnish

you with some information relative to Arizona and New Mexico-Mexico's old provinces- tho' I am scarcely able to find time for it.

New Mexico and Arizona are as your re.'l.ders all know stock-raising countries. Their superficial confor­mation suits them for nothing else. Vast tracts of rolling ground-large valleys fenced in by natural walls form­ing the sides or faces of mesas-then the great expanses of the mesa surfaces themselves. Water is found only a t great intervals and with difficulty in supplies sufficient for herds. Then there are mounta.in regions-the Sierra Madres running through New Mexico-the White and San Francisco groups figuring in ArizoM. Grass is al­most everywhere. Every where too are evidences of

terrifie upheavels. There is written in the face of Arizona especially, in characters such as God alone can write in, and which time will never erase, the records of terrific volcanic npheavels and changes.

New Mexico has her Indians, so has Arizona, like all the rest of this continent. The puebloes- . so called be- . cause they live in pueblos (in villages), are the peculiar Indians of New Mexico. In pueblos they were found by the Spanish explorers 'Yho came into what is now New Mexico in the 16th. century, and there they still live­their grounds secured to thtom by our government and their tribal Jaws respected. They are a peaceful semi­civilized people, their structures, · rude things of mud called abode, their manner of tilling the soil now, as when the Spaniards first beheld them, primitive and of that rudeness which the bible tells of in patriarchal times. They are not warlike, They love peace. They have clung perversdy to their heathen rir,hts, through ages ofbesottetl ignorance-shut out from the true light of reveiation­almost the commandments which are written by God 'in every human heart illegible to them-they, like the

. Indians of Alizona, are a terrible example of what comes lmto a people for running counter to the laws divine and natural.

The Indians of Arizona are the Navajoes whose range originally and whose immense Reservation to-day ex­tends into New Mexico, and the Apaches-the fiercest and most brutal Indians ofthis hemisphere. The Nava­joes are the most numerous of all Indian tribes-they number now about 20,000. They have never given any serious trouble since Kit Curson overcame and almost destroyed everything they had in bringing them to terms. The Apaches who are closely held on Reserva­tions in Arizona and New Mexico have been the scour­ge of Arizona ever since the Spaniards set foot upon it down to very recent years.-within the last dec..'tde in f;tet. They murdered, they burned, they ra':'aged, they destroyed everywhere. The record of their clepredations . constitutes some of the moot fiendish pages which pJ.:e­serve accounts of man's depravit.y.

Of all these Indians not one of them id aware of h1s origin. The real story of their past has slipped from them ages ago. If asl{ecl of their origi~, a ludicrous genealogy-resembling the folk-lore of Africa-starting from the rabbit, the coyote or the prairie dog will be the reply. That they are not the aborigines-the first inhabitants ofthese vast territories-is evident from the fact that there exist to-day architectmal remains indi­cating a civilization higher than that of any of the present Indians, and of these structures and as to who lived in them, they can say nothing. In the Canon de Chelley, in Eastern Arizona, in Southern Arizona near the present city of Tncson, :tnd throughon t this region are found these rem:tins of an ancient people who must

: . . ~ '

have be.:; a in the enjoyment of much of tb,os~ comf!)rts arid arts which is the, boast of our civilization to-d:ay. But no record lags to tell who or whence they, were or what they did. An in vasi<?n of barbarian,s, such as that wli'ich Europe suffered, <·arne upon them, but with more t('rrific results, for by it they were wiped away.

One of the strange featu"res connected with these archeological remains is that they are nevnr found near spring or rivers. Yet the fragmentary existence of acequias (water duct&} shows us ·that they had wath whose sources have disappeared. Was i't not after all the· invasion of fierce northern or southern or western hordes which blotted out this people-but was it some dreadful change of nature which dried up the river and the secret welling I? laces of the spring? No record lags to tell.

Tile climate of these regions-like the climate of an areas of a considerable altitude above the sea-level­is very healthy, and its far southern situation renders it in summer and winter an extremely enjoyable one .. It is one especially favorable to those who arP so unfor­tunate as to have weak lungs. Its almost constant sun­shine cheers the invalid-and its pure bracing air strengthens nnd sustains him.

And now. dear Father, I must say adieu, but may it prove to be au rev01:1·. If my leisure permits and yo~ should still desire there are many other things in tfiese old territories which could interest if not instruct the reader~

Yours very sincerely, J . w. w.

OUR EXCHANGES.

The ... cholastic ye:w of '84 and '85 finds us once more at our old occupation with quill in hand endeavoring to llotc the excellent qualities of onr many exchanges --a well astopass over whatever failings, which,asonr .JOUKNAI., all must necessari ly contain. College .Toumalism of late years has grown to be almost an imperative necessit.v. a.." L« evidenced from 11lmMt all

educational instit ut ions of any standing possessing an Organ for t.he ex pression of opinion, specially for stimulating young men to cultivate the great practical science of composition. Of all the influences that control the people of a nation in tb i age, the newspaper may be regarded as the g reatest. The Journal the Periodical, the magazine- each in its t urn is a mighty instrument either in ad vm1cing the masses in mental as well as in moral acquirem~nts-or in holding back the progress of good government or in scattering bt-oadca t the seeds of iniquity or of unsound doctrine~. The freedom of the Press however should not be abused--and such a gigantic vehicle ·of thought should always be co;.ducted for the benefit of the mm1y, for the inj ury of none.

C_ollege ,Jonrnals however as a rule have reason to feel proud of their concl uct in this matter. Their mi sion ~eing to amuse, to instruct, to impart ambition to the young mmd, they as a rule confine themselves within those bonuds- scm·ely ever wandering out into the domain of politics or mixing up with ques­tions of national supremacy- or national excellencies recognizing the fact tbnt we are all members of the same humnn fami ly and consequently ~qual. The mis­sion of our coll ege papers is certainly praiseworthy , and their literary efforts must smely be regardecl as worthy of patwnage by any thinking m:tn. In glaneing over the various College and Aeade­mic .Journals, it is a matter of surprise- but a matter worthy of recognition to note the amount of pains-the amount of labor, bestowed upon those periodical publications- and this is to be more esteemed when we l"eflect that such work is something extra to regular clnily routine occupations. ,

It is pleasant to us to note tee general good will that all manifest towards one another especially as these .Journals represent various sects, who at times manifest anything towards eachanother bu t friendly feelings. We extend the hancl of friendship to our many contempories for the scholastic term of '84 and '85 and trust that our future acquaintaneeship shall continue and that our former associations shall be filled with m:my as pleasant memories as in the past.
