lbjor. .Grandcbamp informed us that a.ll othet consider­atipns were h. g. he was now negotiating for a position as Basso-Pio.fando. Virtuoso at the Grand Opeca, Paris ( pr~nounce<-l with01;rt the Si, if you please).

We bade God speed to L. G. as we entered the "rec" hall, and found nobody there but Stafford who seemed busily emg:...gefl practicing penmanship. Tue prefect bad gnne to-(Hine's smoking apartment) to i'ntotm .Harry that <·<butts'' are bad tor tl.e rising geuer. ation and th~t he had better,- etc. In the me:l.nwhilc we ha.rl a very hurried talk with Willie, the substance of wbi.cb was that IJe's so used to writing Lhat he thinks he will be good for nothing but a journalist. ( !<.:11ter prefeet, exit sct·i be.)

We found Gus. R. s1tting in the reading room over a -y,oLume of poems open at "l'he Marble Heart." He had a fu off stlfrt' in his eyes and was nervously pi eking the petals, of a faded rosebud. A punch in the side with our pencil, awakened !Jim from hi~ reverie. We recited the formula of interrogatives to him to which he answered only in monosyllables: "No"; '•Alas, I fear so;" "Yen, indeed." He murmured something a-bout the love the South should beat· for the North and s tid some day he huped they would be united more clcsely than at. present, (he still meant theN & S).

We felt a great deal of sympathy and were inclined to remain and sigh and rend poetry and pick faded roses but a voice from without warned us tlw.t the next victim wns at !mud.

It was w·. Demostheoes .)lcCart.hy. He was posing; one leg wrapped ovf'r the other, the right lm11d drawn b:lCk laterally and the left bent in tront; his henct was thrown up slig:.tly in a kind of a "see-my-hook?" style. This vision of grace, like the everchanging cloucts, only remained a moment fl.nd '•Mac" once more resumeJ his equilibrium. "Tbi<>. said be, "is one of the ,_uany poses on which I am prncticing for my picture to be placerl with other ball-plaJ et·s, in •·Old Jurlge'' pack­ages.-for you must know I nm to become :i profession­al pitch('r. Yes, I have at last decided my place is on the diamon!i. Dandy eh? Bet yo'!" Willie also told ns in a semi-confidential wa.y thnt be was tbitddng of following Latham's idea and would spend the winter on the stage.

A number of others kindly gave us pointers as to their future but we refrain from publishing more at present. The gentlemen have the Joun.:>AL's best wishes for success in theil' va1·ious vocations.

HOME.

Copio.us as is our mo,ther tongue, few words ie he!' vocabulary convey a more expressive meaning to the

mind or more tender emoti0ns to the heart than home. Enthroned in the human breast, the love of home rules all other loves. The conqueror of nations crowt~e.i with laurels and surrounded with admirers would fain burst the bonds wiJich bind him to fame and seek a quiet home. The most abject of savages sighs as he leaves his hut and turns in his path to take a last lovk at its hal­lowed province.

I would define home as the abode of sanctity and true sympathy. It is evirlent tiJat where sin, the ~courge of.mankiod, exists there can be no real happines~, no true love, nothing which we love to ascribe to home in that high_est sense in which we here consider the word.

It is true that our hearts are bnt immature b~ttle

fields upon which the striff:s of life wnge incessantly al­though unknown to and unnoticed by those about us.

Bnt we are jeaJou& Of our burdens as w~ll as of onr triumphs and nature demands that we seek the com­pany of those, the eonls of who.;e hearts will vibrate in unison with our ·own. So "trong is this demand it has bren tmly said that if a man is to be tested, try how !ong he can live without sympathy. Nothing is __ more common than to hear persons spe~k of the cold charity of Lhe world. \Ve are constantly seeking sympathy hut fail to find it amid the struggling mas~es of humanity ever present in life's busy thoroughfares. All have their own burd€'ns, their own hopes and while they may be ever ready to bugll at a jest they wish none of our melancholy.

But at home wiJat a quiet blissful retreat! Here everything about ns is associated in our memories with the days of our childhood the brightness of which ti.Jc yeat:s of a lifetime are too few to clim. Here are our parents so den- to us that when they have departed nor1e froll) the whole human race cnn fill tiJeir place. Here we meet :1gain the companion of those days when we were innocent, the old house whieh sheltered us so long and ev~:ry nook and corner of which we are so familiar. The garden wherein we tended our little flow­et· beds so carefully in summer and where we used to romp so much in the snows of winter. The paths which bore tbe marks of our childish feet so often. This one leading to the school wherein we never learned how sterp is the bill of knowledge. This one to the brook upon whose verdant banks we have so often sa t and watched the evet· changing water, here placid, there purling amid the rushes until we lose &ight of it around the bend in the meadow. Then our lives were as the brook, but a mirror of the heaven above. But home has ~omething more, sometbing above these I have men. ti onecl. It is th:tt real love and real sympathy which unites the hearts of the whole family into one perfect whole.

The Comm issary hns made arrangements for the new gun racl<s in the Ponies Armory. They nre to he of the latest style and wi 11 bear in the centre tlw monogram <•f the Company.

Capt. McCa.nn's company ~licit much applause for th~ir excellent wheeling. There is no ref&son why thi.; Compnny can't win t he pr-i ze. All L!Jat it requ.ires bop,

A SAYING.

"Do not do unto others what you would not like

them to do unto you. "

I£ you invite a friend to pay you a visit, and you ask him, when he is come, to 'make himself at home" do you mean to suggest by your invitation and kind­n ess h e may t ake his knife out of the pocket and spend his time at pa.ring off the edges o£ yom tables or your window-sills? No! say you. What right have you then , boys, to try the sharpness of your knives on the college desks or ben ches? At :;ehool you are visitors, and you must respect the school furniture as you ex­pec t friends will respect yours at home.

Pope Leo XIII has addressed a Brief to His Eminence j

Canl.irtal Lavigeri on the anti-slavery crusade.

Accompanying the strong words of ap:prova;l for his ~eii.t' work is a gift of $51.000 for the glorious undertaking w)lich the Cardinal has so successfully p:reached throughout Eu-rope. ..

It is a great mistake for a Catholic young man to think tl1at a manly profession and .practice of tQ.eir faith is an impediment to their business success; and that in order to win worldly prosperity. they must become membew; of secret societies. The American people,. as a rule, honor independence of character and loyalty to conviction, and

. despise the cowardly traitor to conscience: If a Catholic young man is sober, capable, industrious and faithful he need have no fear that his religion will prevent him from attaining the highest heights of business and political sue_ cess. (Cath. Union and Times.) .

A valuable and interesting memento of the recent Papal .Jubilee has been transmitted by direction of Pope Leo XIII to the British Museum Library, the Bodlian Library, and the Library at Cambridge University. The gift which has been sent through the hands of the Papal Secretary of State, consists of a series of sumptuous reproductions of many of the most noteworthy and ancient manuscripts in the pos­session of the Vatican. Among these, in addition to the nu­merous other important gems are the Ethiopic Codex pre­sented to the Holy See by King Menelek, of Abyssinia, and a magnificent replica of the celebrated manuscripts of the Gospels, emblasoned in gold and silver on a purple ground.

We learn from the "Catholic Union and Times," that a valuable book, titled "Aristotle, and the Christian Church" has been recently· written by Brother Azarias of the Broth­ers of the Christian Schools. That distinguished author . points out the difference between Catholic faith-and Cath­olic philosophy and shows how the schoolmen who took Aris­totle as a basis, developed, supplemtmted, or modified his principles as occasion required until they built us a system of Inetapllysics in harmony ·With revelation. He shows also that when in 1209 and 1228, the philosophy of Aristotle was condemned, at tirst by the Provincial Council of Paris and afterwards by the Supreme Pontiff Gregroy IX, it was be­cause the versions of Aristotle, in me at tl:at tirr:e, were corrupt. The same pontiff gave power to three professors to examine the books which were prohibited a short time be­fore by the Council of Paris, and after eliminating every­thing dangerous to religion, to restore them to their place in the conrse of study.

This work of Brother Azari as should be carefully perused both by the enemies and friends of scholasticisim .

Our Holy Father has just issued a decree, which orders that the last day of the year the thirty-first day of December, shall be observed as a day of thanksgiving in honor of the Sacerdotal .Jubilee. On that clay all the principal churches, cathedrals, colleges, parish churches, and other places ap­proved by the Ordinary, the .Most Holy Sacrament of tl)e Eucharist shall be exposed in honor of the Sacred Heart; five decades of the Rosary are to be recited, a.nd after the Ambrosian Hymn and "Ta.ntum Ergo" and the additional, prayers, "Deus cujus Misericordire, Concede Nos," and the Collects, for the Pope and the Church, the Benediction of the Most Holy Sacrament shall be given to the faithful. To those who approach the Holy Sa.craments and assist at the Benediction, give thanks to the Sacred Heart, and pray for the Apostolic See, and the conversion of sinners, a plenary indulgence applicable to the souls in Purgatory is granted. (Catholic American.)
